The farmer feels that he should be a favored child - of Uncle Sam. The government, or rather the politicians, hear- . tily return the feeling because the farmers represent a large number of votes. Uncle Sam - sees to it that the farmer is ex empt from some laws, and gets free seed and free literature on a number of subjects. He is now helpirtg the farmer by bringing him face to face with the income tax. The help giv en the farmer is that his in come tax' report presupposes some kind of bookkeeping on the farmers part. The average farmer has never kept any ac counts of his costs. He knows what his crop brings him but he doesn’t know in many cases w hat it has cost him to make it. It just naturally costs some farmers more to raise cotton than it does others. If by any means the most of farmers could be induced to keep an account of costs he should thank the income tax law for the benefit. the sky said:‘“If you will just hush 1 will rain.” That is one of the methods of propaganda. Human nature is so constituted that it will surrender a great deal to secure peace.' Propa- is very fond of continu ally hearing its own voice. The story is als<5 told of a man wh6 came to the manager of a, hote to know if' he could use some frog saddles, or legs. He tok the hotel man that he coulc furnish him a car load of them. iWell, said the manager, you may bring me two dozen to morrow.* 5 ' The next day the man laid down just two pair on the desk. The'.' manager said: “I thought you could fur nish me a car load.” The fel low replied: “From- the way they hollered around that pond I thought there must be a mil- -*rV r * * , i lion of them, but when I went to get them, these were all that could be found.” That is an other method of propagandists. The air is full of voices, but not many people can "be found. The clearest case of propagan da now before the people is the .effort to secure woman suf frage by amendment to the fed eral constitution. In the South every dictate of prudence and freason forbids it, yet it lacked only one one vote recently in the senate. Even a senator from this State voted fbr it. He had to shut his eyes to every thing but the voices of the fair propagandists. In the Roman senate Cato became impressed with the fact that Carthage had to~bT destroyed.

It was unanimously agreed that its purpose was to (pep its nose out of other peo ple’s business. Long, long ago the lazy man was advised to go to school to the ant and learn wisdom. If the_.rabbit should open it place of learning when folks could be taught that their liberties end where other’s privileges begin, that school would lack neither pupils nor money. It is a fortunate man whose private affairs are in such splendid shape that time and talent can be spared to Cotton Acreage Reduction. Last Friday was tile day set apart for securing pledges for a reduction of cotton acreage lor the coming season. -Them- dications are that the pledge will receive a large number of signatures, especially from those farmers who are - wise enough to see the danger of overproduction. We firmly be lieve that the ginner’s report .next fall will show a bumper crop, provided the seasons are favorable, and fertilizers are reasonable in price. Some cot ton farmers are willing to take advantage of the fact that one man holds his pledge highly while his own is regarded as a scrap of paper.

Rome of the difficulties en countered in shipping are shown in the following : “The meat for Europe lias gone in lleet* of vessels under convoy, and the Food Admini stration has often been unable to know v very far in advance when cargo space would be available. For this reason &wift and Company lias frequently been notified that a certain number of millions of pounds would be wanted at a certain |*ort within a few days. Swift And Company lias often had shipments on the way to the .-e a board within a few hour- after tTie orders have been re ceived, and believes that it has met with signal 8licetss in the filling of such rush orders. “The packing industry w#s able to adapt itself to wartime demands perhaps more quickly than any other industry.

The average boy never gets close enough to the nose of a rabbit to notice whether it is motiorf or not. It is a fact, how ever, that it is rabbit nature to wabble its nose. The ancient Greeks called the common house cat the ever n>oving' tail. I he rabbits nose conies near to being perpetual motion, as long as that rabbit is alive. Many lovers of natural hi .ve wondered why the raVlit'wab- tled its nose? This question BIG PACKER AS WAR TIME AID. A new idea of the great part played by America in feeding the allied forces in Europe is given in the 1919 Year Book of Swift and Company, which has just been issued. In 1918 these products shipped abroad , totaled <">90,3.‘>9,769 pounds—pi ore than three times the amount shipped in 1914, the first, year of the w ar. The pork product shipments totaled 1,091,454,529 pounds as against 921,9 a 3,029 in 19J 4—an increase of 83 per cent. During the year ending this Year Book goes to November 1, 1918, Swift and; we have put up some Company alone i*hipptd 760, j million pounds of butte stalled the ncccessarv machinery and-was filling Government contracts. More than a million pounds of bacon a week have often been canned in this factory. This- means that our soldiers have been getting fine, cured, smoked bacon, .whereas the Allies have been demanding only* salt; unsmoked bacon, Which does not have to be can ned. - “Another example showing the co-operation that we have offered the Government was when the Government found it necessary to have large quan tities of butter, which it had bought .for overseas shipment, put into cans, Swift and Coni : pany, alone among \he big but ter handlers of.tlie country, was willing to install the necessary equipments and in the c6urse oL three weeks, under the most unfavorable, circumstances, be gan canning butter for tTie Government.
