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

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."

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."
