HEFLIN IS ENTHUSIASTIC. I Alabama Congressman Sees Big Jump in Cotton Prices. Giving it as his opinion that there will undoubtedly be a very large jump in the price of cotton next spring, if not before, Senator Heflin, of Alabama, a member of the senate committee on agriculture, and a well posted cotton expert, has made the following statement: "We have consumed and exported more than eleven millon bale*, of cotton since July 1920. The southern cotton mills have made heavy, inroads on the low grade cotton produced in 1920. The cotton of that crop now re I maining unsold is mostly high grade I cotton. "The cotton crop this year will be H in the neighborhood of seven million bales. April, May, June and July of next year will see 'tie smallest supply of and the greatest demand for American cotton that the world has witnessed in a long time, Germany's demand for American cotton is growIing in leaps and bounds. Germany is out after a very large part of the world's cotton goods trade. One of the largest cotton producers in the United States is now in Germany arranging for the direct sale of American cotton to German interests. "The War Finance Corporation announces that negotiations for advanc ces to finance agricultural products for export sale are approaching completion as follows: 'Oklahoma Cotton Growers association, 200,000 bales of cotton; Texas Farm Bureau Cotton association, 300,000 bales of cotton' "The small crop, the increasing demand and the aid furnished the cotton producer by the War Finance Board is bound to advance cotton prices." The Astute Agriculturist. We begged the honest farmer man with warm solicitation, to please reluctantly consent to take the nomination. "Oh, leave," we cried, "'your sunburt toil and worthy occupation, and in the sounding halls of state . take your predestined station. The office e'er should seek the man," we said, in apt quotation. "It's come . here now a-seeking you; accept congratulation! Forget'your flocks, ignore your herds, leave -them without ration. Like Cincinnatus from the plow stand forth to save the nation? You are a gent who has the knack of loud vociferation. That's all you ever need to have to win this elevation. The time is ripe for some young man with some wild agitation to lead the folks who have no sense but great imagination." "Nay, nay!" the farmer man replied "I have a reputation for honor, decency and skill, in this way occupation. I have no gab to spread abroad, no loud transplavica-tion. Go to, go to, and keeD right on plumb to your des tination. I would not be an honorable, and mess in legislation. To be an honest farmer is my only aspira. tion." F&tal Mistake. The lady bather had got into a hole and she couldn't swim. Nor could the young man on the end of the pier; but when she came up for (the first time and he caugh; sight of her face, he could shriek, and he did. He shrieked: "Help!" A burly fisherman sauntered to his side. "Wot's up?" he asked. "There!" hoarsely cried the young man. "My wife! Drowning! I can't swim! A hundred dollars for you if you can save her." In a moment the burly fisherman was in the sea. In another he was out of it, with the rescued lady bather. Thanking his lucky stars, he ap proached tne young man again. "Well, what about the hundred bones?" he asked. But if the young man's face had been ashen gray before, now it was dead white, as he gazed upon the features of the uncovered dame. "Y-e-s, I know!" he gasped. "But when I made the offer I thought it was my wife who was drowning; and now?now it turns out it was my wife's mother!" The burly fisherman pulled a long face. "Just my luck," he muttered, thrusting his hand into his trousers pocket. "How much do I owe you?" ?Chicago Daily News. Her Only Fault. "Well, I'll tell you," confessed the would-be seller of a second-hand TTnntin' Nanny. "There is just one thing the matter with this ear. 'Twasn't for that she'd be just about perfect. That is. when you step on the predicator, pull the alleviator and push the pessimist, it takes her a little too long to make up her mind whether you mean for her to backup or go ahead. And that's kind of annoying." "I gezzo," answered the prospective purchaser. PROS AND COXS OF BOBBED HAIR Some People Taking Question Seriously?Different Opinions., New York.?Some people have be-1 gun taking bobbed hair seriously. A few of them, apparently believing that the absence of long tresses outside the head leaves the impression that something is lacking within, have informed the world that bobbed hair and business efficiency don't mix. Several railroad offices have taken the same position as the Chicago department store which notified its feminine employees that they must either let their hair grow out or be let out themselves, and all manner of people are carrying the controversy to that good old domestic forum? the free-for-all column in the newspapers. And here are some of the things they wrote the editors: "Bobbed hair girls may not be vapid and silly, we don't say they are, but you can't get around the fact that they look that way. And, naturally, a girl that appears frivolous is not wanted in business even though she may actually be serious minded." "Girls have a right to wear their hair any way they see fit, so long as it appears neat and respectable, and only vapid and silly person would think for one minute that because the hirsute adornments were short and snappy, the owner was frivolous." "Bobber hair is just one of those foolish fads that that crazy crew down in Greenwich village started. The women around the -country really ought to know better than to imitate -them, but you know how young girls are?they like to take up new things, and you can't tell them anything. Maybe the offices that are putting a man on bobbed hair will teach them a lesson?goodness only knows, -they need it." "Bebbed hair is just one of those It is the most sensible way for business girli to wear it. They don't keep looking at the mirror all the time, and -it gives them a chance to type a letter all the way from the 'replying to your letter' to the 'we ' beg to remain' without having to fidget around trying to keep strands from tockling the ears or blowing in the eyes." "I don't know what this younger generation is thinking about. No girl with any claim to being serious minded would consider for a minute that bobbing her hair improved her apnparjinne. I alwavs say that if the Lord had intended for the women ,to have short hair He would have made them that way: It's just one of those fads, though, and there is no use worrying about it?the girls will soon get over it and come back to their senses." "Certainly the girls of our day dress more sensibly than our mothers did, and bobbed hair is one of the most sensible parts of their appearance. It is cooler and more comfortable, and you don't have to stop work every few minutes to do it up. It requires only a few minutes attention each day and always looks fresh and neat-, and this gives a girl more time for serious reading and things. Reformers that are always criticising everything new get on my nerves. If some of these men had ever been with long hair, they would think x 1~ ~ o ronn cr iwice utjiui t; u > mg iu iui iuv v >_/ girls how to dress." . And so it goes. > In Xew York the anti-bobs have confirmed their campaign against abbreviated coiffures to writing their opinions and talking about them. A few personal directors of large concerns have said, with the precaution of requesting that their names not be used, that they were seriously considering regulations against bobbed haired types. But this is as far as the matter has gone. Some of the masculine employers gave up hope of regulating it when they learned that the girls could easily fool them. With a few rubber hanri<i a rnnnle of switches, some hair pins and a comb the girls can camouflage their bobbed hair during the business hours so that it looks prudently Victorian. Hurt While Out Hunting. Cope, Sept. 15.?While on a squirrel hunt recently with Carl Gibson and W. Clark, Magistrate G. E. Griffith while running to keep in sight of a squirrel stepped in a low place, lost his balance, and fell sideways on his left arm dislocating the elbo'w, and fracturing the smaller bone just below the elbow. He straightened as best he could, blew a horn for his companions, and was soon after taken to Dr. Mobley's hospital, where an x-ray was taken, and the arm properly bandaged. Mr. Griffith is suffering considerable pain, but is getting along nicely considering the seriousness of the dislocation. Obstructed Vision.
