Be sure-you have a generous supply of these crops, and the price of cotton will not keep you awake at night. The present money stringency is perhaps the most critical time the country has had to contend with since 1914. It is not generally believed, though, that this condition will continue any great length of time. The! reason for the present depression is doubtless the readjustment of prices. When normal levels are reached. there is no reason to believe that prosperity will not return. Everyone will doubtless be called upon to take his loss,- in the falling of prices. Economy in every line is absolutely necessary to prevent still heavier losses. tm* ? ? The Herald is not sufficiently in formed on the plans of the export corporation to enter into an intelligent discussion of it. In a general way, however, it appears that it is the most needed factor of the cotton industry at this time. The fact that all ave ^ nues of exportation of cotton are shut off at a time when the world most needs the south's principal commodity is a strong recommendation of the aims of this concern. We join the scores of people throughout the south who believe that Europe will take millions of bales of cotton if she can - get them without having to pay the British speculators an enormous bo nus. If cotton is to be sold to the I war stricken nations, the south and the south only should be the beneficiary. It would appear to be entirely possible to get cotton to these countries through the medium of the export corporation, and we wish it , success. If it is the means of the salvation of the cotton industry, it deserves the hearty support of all southern people. MAY FIND LOST CHAPTERS. University of Chicago Man Thinks the Feat is Possible. \ " 1 Recovery of the "lost chapters in the career of man" hidden in the ancient cities of Western Asia is an imminent possibility and an American responsibility, Dr. James Henry Breasted, of the University of Chicago, reports. Dr. Breasted, who is professor of Egyptian and Oriental history there, has recently returned from a survey of most of the important buried cities of the near Orient. The collapse of the Ottoman empire has opened the birth lands of civilization to unrestricted investigation, Dr. Breasted said. "It is evident," he added, "that there rises before us an unprecedented opportunity in the history of humanistic research. "The" great centers of human life in the ancient world, the mighty cities and capitals of Babylonia, Assyria, Persia, Palestine, Syria, Asia Minor ajid Egypt, the region where the earliest civilized societies arose out of savagery and barbarism to bring civilization to Barbarian Europe?all these treasures of human records which are rapidly perishing in the whole region about the east- ! ern end of the Mediterranean lie there silently awaiting the spade of the excavator." It will be possible to clear up the leading ancient buried cities of Western Asia within the next 25 or 30 years, or perhaps a generation, given sufficient funds and adequate personnel, according to Dr. Breasted. The task rests with American Orientalists, he said, because no other country has the available resources. A Turning Worm. "If I were only an ostrich," he be gan, picking up one of the biscuits and weighing it in his hand. "Wouldn't it be lovely!" she replied, a spot on either cheek. "Why, if you were, John, dear, maybe I could get a few plumes, and then I could retrim that old hat I've been wearing for three years." -r** O. Valuable Informal ion. "Xo doubt, you have learned a great deal about gardening during your two years of residence here in the suburbs." "Oh, yes." replied the back yard farmer. "So much, in fact, that I ' shall not again attempt it. Why, I can save at least ninety dollars in a single season by not raising my own vegetables." <1 8SI pi Read The Herald, $2.00 per year. i MIMSTKK POIX1) DP AD. i Dev.

He had accumulated property and was in good financial . condition, it is said. However, the delay in gatherng the crops, the hea-i vv losses that he and others are sustaining in their products, caused him to worry, it is said. k HOGS PAV BIG MOXEY.
