No Farmer Should bo Forced Unless Absolute Necessity Compels, ( Progressive 1? armer.) lt ls an unwise merchant or hanker who will demand of formers now that they soil their cotton to pay their obligations lo store or bank. Some cases of such action have been reported to the Progressive Farmer. Such instances, we hope, are few and well scattered. Short of actual bankruptcy there is no worse calam ity that can befall the country mer chant than for his customers to bo without money to buy the w.ires ho has on his shelves. If his profits come from merchandising and not from cotton gambling, he is then without a business* lt is conceivable that some mer chants aro forcing their farmer cus tomers to sell in order that they may buy and hold tho cotton until it goos up, but on account of tho strained | credit conditions there is probably i much less of this than usual. If a | morchant were on tho verge of hank- i ruptcy. and lt were nocossary for him I to cf ^h In his every asset, he would be Justified in calling on his farmers to pay up. There is no doubt,* how ever, that tho business men are in much better position to secure credit than are the farmers, and it ls cor-,' talnly to their interest to help main tain prices of farm products in their territory, for as tho farmers prosper they prospor. On the other hand, it is certainly the farmer's duty to put his cotton in a warehouse, wherever ono is in reach, and put up the receipts as collateral for the relief of his cred itors. With the purchasing power of tho farmers of the country reduced two and a half billion dollars, according to the Secretary of Agriculture, it is timo to stiffen up prices find help keep the m on ev In the hands of the farmers, for the country merchant can't sell a dollar's worth of goods to the cotton exchange gamblers In the cities, no matter how much they make out of cotton.

World Must Pay Enough for Cotton to insuro Reasonable Acreage. . (Progressive 'Farmer.) The writer was talking recently with one of the South's foremost stu dents of economic problems. Our manufacturers, we remarked to him, report that they have cut ; prices and cut prices, but say that seemingly they have not yet cut the | prices enough to make people buy. The real trouble, we added, is that the cuts made by manufacturers have not reached the consuming and buy- j lng public. The retail merchant has I a lot of goods on hand, bought at old prices, and ho is not willing to make sales on tho basis of prosent whole-1 salo valuos. ; "Yes," answered our economist friend, "and do you see where it. all leads to? Take cotton for exnmple. j Tho manufacturer has cut prices of his goods, but tho merchant hasn't. ' Consequently, people havo held off buying. But with winter coming on. and their old clothes wearing out, the folks will soon bo compelled to buy. Then they will likely have to buy In moro than ordinary quantities. This', will enable the manufacturers to j boost prlcos again, and then the re tailer will have an excuse for hold- ? lng his prices up-and thc only man who will lose out will be the farmer, the man who has tried to sell his raw material on a dead market." There ls a good deal of danger that things may work out Just about this way. Business is temporarily stalled, but lt can't stay stalled. The vast majority of the people of Amer ica are still employed, and employed nt rather high wages and salarios. Consequently, they nro going to buy plenty of food and plenty of clothing, especially cotton clothing. In fact, the tendency to economize may help the demand for cotton goods by less ening the calls for silk shirts and silk hosiery. It is true that the market right now ls stalled-deadlocked. But lt can't stay stalled. And tho world must pay enough for cotton to in suro getting an adequato acreage planted next spring. Doesn't that mean that lt must offer around 30 couts a pound before next April? It looks that way to us.

Christianity is the only universal re ligion, the only ono adapted to all ages of life, to all human conditions, to all races and all nationalities. Other lights have arisen, waned and vanished forever. Tho Greek myth ology is as utterly shaken to ruin ns its own splendid Parthenon. The chief religions of Asia-Brahman ical, Buddhist and) Moslem-aro all limited and local; they are all mori bund. While they make no inroads on Christianity, tho religion of Beth lehem and Calvary makes constant inronds upon them. The systems of error which Paul and Peter fought have vnnished out of sight, and the whole East is catching glimpses of tho star that first dawned over Ju dea's sky.
