In .a recent speech Mr. Sloan gaveJ we
these particulars of cotton use. * “V/e | activities
live in a world where cotton contri- j
butes something useful from our in-j
fancy until old age and death. Thru- I
out life yve wear cotton in Some form.
We live in environments made artis-
tically agreeable by the use of cotton;
w-e sleep in cotton, we travel in cot-
ton, We are sheltered from sun and
storm by cotton, we even eat highly
refined products of the once myster-
ious cotton seed.
“The world output of cotton is* af
proximately five times that of wool;
nine times that flax, , sixty time
that of rayon; 140 times that of silk.
AbundafttfF is therefore partly respon
sible for the great diversity of use.’
And overabundance is partly re-
sponsible for the great diversity of
use, and partly responsible for the
uneconomic price at which cotton is
produced on the farms of the South.
Somewhere between the scarcity that
will raise farm prices but restrict use
and the overproduction that ' stimu-
lates use but lowers farm prices, there
is the happy medium which will pro-
vide ..all*- the cotton the world needs
and pay'1 the farmer enough to keep
him and his family in comfort and
without the fear of old-age want.
It is the South’s job to find and es-
tablish that happy medium. The sen-
sible first, step is to retire King Cot-
ton to the role of a servant from that
of master on the farm.—Ft. Worth

THE SKIRMISH
Down in one of the southern states
recently, a colored man and his wife
were hailed into court on a charge of
disturbing the peace.
“RaStus,” said thg magistrate ad-
dressing the husband, “you "are accus
ed of disturbing your entire neighbor-
hood on Tuesday night. What have
you got to say for yourself?”
“It was dis way, Jedge,” explained
Rastus, glancing first at the magis-
trate and then at his wife. “Me an
Lucy got into an ahgument obah de
coin she got fo’ a week’s wash. She
call me a lazy loaf ah, an’ I slap he
down flat. Up she hop, an’ smash r
skillet on my haid, an’ draps me flat
Den up I riz and welt her with
chaih leg, an' den she flang a ter
kettle at men, which scald quite con
sid'able.”
“I- see,” commented the masitrat
to Rastur. “And- then what happen
ed?”
“An’ den, Jedge,” answered Rastus
with great deliberation, “an’ den we
begun to fight.”
The greatest amount of proficiency
•an be acquired through repetition.
Whatever you are, learn always to
do your work to the best of your abil-
ity. What you do from day to .day
;eems unimportant, yet only through
striving to'theibest Af your ability to
:Io the little things of life as they
come to hand hour after hour can
you ever hope to excel in your" chosen
field of activity.
Thrift in money matters consists of
the elimination of waste and, the .in-
vestment of one’s savings so they
will mean the ihost for one’s progress.
The same rule applies'in the line of
thrift of time and ability. Putting in
one’s time in a slipshod, disorganized
manner is just as wasteful as squan-
dering money.
The concentration of tiftte effort so
;hey will bring the greatest possible
results is just as much a'part iqf
hrift as investing money prudently
md wisely;
One of the great thrift lessons in
life which all should learn is the val-
ue of specialization and concentra-
tion.—Ex.
