October 25,1916 If there is a man in the United j States who ouchttowear a big f broad, bland smile these days it's ( the cotton farmer. He has to t buy fewer things than anybody 1 else, and he is selling cotton at j nearly twice what he expected s to get. J r t That the war in Europe will ( continue at least another year ? is the opinion of the British and German leaders and of a good < many people on this side of the Atlantic. It is agreed that there ( is little prospect of peace until a decisive victorv is won. The British and French know what , the resources of the Germans are, and they realize that it is a death grapple, likely to last many long months longer before they shall be able to crush the German lines and push them back to German soil. The allies are said to be building a giganic fleet of high powered aeroplanes of great speed with which 0 they hope to shatter the German positions. The big offensive of the Allies has about dwindled out. Thev have gained ground all along the line, but there is so much yet to gain before a decisive blow can be dealt that they will carry the fighting more and more into the air. The end is not yet. ^ A good many years ago when the writer was a school boy studying physiology l>e was taught that it was very harmful ^^m!o the body to drif^V' water or accepted this teaching because he had no proot to the contrary, but there was always a little doubt in his mind as to the correctness of this theory. Now the learned scientists have agreed that this was erroneous teaching. The latest number of the Ladies' Heme Journal gives the results of tests and experiments made recently by experts of the Jefferson Medical College, of Philadelphia, by which it is shown that drinking plenty of water at meal time is actually beneficial. From this report the following is clipped: "If you are normal by ail means drink all the water you wish with your meals. We have made many tests upon this subject, and in every case the drinking of water, even in large quantity, at mealtime has been shown to be a very desirable procedure. By following this rule the food is more thoroughly digested and its digestion products are more quickly and completely absorded. Various materials which are poisonous in character are flushed out of the system, and harmful bacteria do not thrive so well in the large bowel. All these things promote increased mental and physical efficiency." 4 When Was Cotton the Highest? f The high price of cotton has caused a good many people to put on their thinking caps to trv to tell when it was higher and when it was lower. The Charlotte Observer gives the following figures which may he inter esting: "In the vear following the war cotton brought 52 cents. In l8f>7 the highest market price was 3f> cents. The following year, l8r>8, cotton sold as high as 33 cents. It was 35 cents in 1869 B and three quarters ot a cent bet- I ter in 1870. A year later it drop- I ped to 2l 1-4, but this was fol- I owed in 1872 by a rise to 27 3-8. | - a 1874 cotton began to decline, le best that year bringing 17 7 8. t remained around 18 cents un1 1883, when it got down to 11 w nd a fraction, remaining in the ^ l's, 10's and 9*s until it struck p ight in 18%, six. in 1898 and <; even in 1899. It was 11 in 1900, ^ 2 in 1901, down to nine in 1902 ^ md up to nearly 12 in 1903. It p vas 16.65 in 1904, and 12.60 the p ollowing year. Since the high luotations have ranged from 2.(>0 in 1905 to 10.75 in 1910. ^ rhese quotations represent the y lighest for middling upland in ^ ^Jew York, as reported in Sheparson's Cotton Facts. The low j :otton years?when it was in j he fives?were' 1894, 1895, 1897, [898 and 1899. In 1804 cotton j, wrought 190 cents a pound. It t told as high as 120 cents a pound he following year. It requires i cotton market at 52 cents and 3ver to constitute the highest >ince the Civil War." Cold Storage Plant for Monroe J Monroe, Oct. 21.?Messrs.
