Why Cities Grow. A natural human, desire to elude the divine nfandnte. "In the sweat of tliy face shalt fhou eat bread," has always I been the scat of many our earthly trow | hies. As 'interpreted to mean the kind I of perspiration that accompanies till j ing the soil. It may account for many : abandoned farms and the swarming I emigration of the agricultural popula tion to the cities ? where, indeed, the, sweating doesn't stop, but is In thou sands of Instances greatly stayed. On the farm physical exertion well nigh reaches its maximum. Stripped for Ihe struggle with nature, reduced^ to the merest remnant of clothing, the gladiatorial combat Is carried on. There are no fat farmers, unless they become "landed proprietors" and have delegated all violence of labor to other hands. It is the cry from Mace donia now* that the hired man Is no longer to be hired; and all the rack ing toil of the farm descends upon one haplejiK pair -of shoulders-;- no one^ts to he had for love or money, to share it. The rendering of the soil luto u? ture's hands is quite accountable. And when the rewards of easier employ ment in the city are so great, e\;en par tial dependence on a sense of conscien tious self-sacrifice is not to hfc expect ed. ? St. I .on is CSlobe-Democrat.

The South has the raw cotton. If a cor poration could be formed under the Edge Art taking cotton in payment for stork, there would he opportunity for direet dealings between Southern pro ducers and European mills. A move ment of this kind would put new life in. the market, for it would stimulate buying by domestic and llrltisrli mills. The decree of risk appears to depend upon the stability of governments in Central Europe, and if capital, which Is n<?t interested in cotton growing, does not care to assume this risk, it must l?e. borne by producers themselves.' If anything Is to be done, do not think fche. -cotton situation ran be improved by calamity talk, which can ouly lead to further depression, but believe It, cart be saved If there is injected a get-to gether spirit of courage, self-reliance and determination, followed by prompt action along practical and constructive lines.

This type of protection is appreciated by all property owners and particularly by those who are outside of the zone of adequate fire-fighting apparatus. But Certain-teed Roofing is more than an aid in the prevention of fire. It also protects from rain or snow and is guar anteed for five, ten or fifteen years, ac cording to weight. ? . .
