There Is a fine stand of cotton, and

It Is amusing, to read of, the lifragyliig
of the Allies as to what they are ^'o
Ibtf to do with Germany. Better v.idt
until they whip her first and then talk.
Whipping her is more easy said than
done. We hope Germany will wipe the
earth with those who are fighting her
then we will see a clean, moral govern
ment established In the allies. A more
corrupt, immoral government don't ex

sin not much better. The American
government leans too much to Knglnnd.
