While world conditions are dis turbed an at ltresent It U necessary that no overproduction of cottou be allowed if we propose to maintain a living wage scale for cotton producer**. TliK wage wale obtaining throughout the cotton pro duefng districts haa been heretofore the lowest in existence in the United Statea, being only equalled by Chinese "coolie" labor. On account of war conditions the price of labor has advanced and in order tli'ut this advance be maintained aud the South secure their due proportion of the prosperity of tho n?tion, lt'la fieccessary! that our cottou crop should bring at leant .15 cents per pound. We cannot expect good road*, good churches and school houues aud an cd- 1 ucated people on the wage scale that has! formerly existed throughout the cotton, belt, therefore, let all public spirited jnen [ from every walk or life make it their1, business to advanco in every way j*>Ksi- !

Name of Man Capable of Formulatina "Umbrella Regulation*" Will Live in History. With the passing of each rainy day i It becomes Increasingly strange that i no benefactor of the race has been ' prodded, gouged or spattered into pre- \ paring a "Manual of Umbrellas/' Peo ple have been carrying some sort of protection against the rain ever since anybody can remember, yet the only thing they havo really learned to do well Is to lose umbrellas. No two persons, not even lovers, can walk un- j der one umbrella without getting wet, j and raincoats probably were first de- i vised by a man who tried to carry an i umbrella over his wife's hat. What j excuse is there for the person who goe>? through a crowded street holding j an umbrella before him in a charge- j bayonets fashion? An apology does not exactly meet the requirements after the tip of an umbrella rib has been thrust Into - some one's eye. Folded, the umbrella Is just as dan gerouH, when some one comes plung ing along the sidewalk holding the umbrella at nn angle of about 45 de- i gree? ahead of him, tripping every j one but himself. Then there Is the ! person who tucks the handle under i the arm, so that an innocent person may become speared on the sharp end which sticks out like a 60-foot tele phone pole on a 15-foot truck. Fur thermore, wet umbrellas never were Intended as partitions between sea?s, even at a motion-picture theater. There is no desire to distract the beat brains of the country from consider ation of war problems, but some sort of umbrella regulations are needed. Wants~For Sale FOR NAIJC ?
