Yes, the cost of high living has much to do with the present condi tion of the agricultural class, but it is tho hjgh living of the other fellow more .than that of the farmer him self that is to blame. \ That great Texas mystery now is whether the man in a storm drinking Icotleg was killed by lightning from the sky—or the bottle Yes, It Makes « Difference. Some big business concerns, as represented by the National Associa tion of Manufacturers, are very much excited over the prospects of Uncle Sam going into the field of manufac ture or power development in compe tition with private industry, which pays taxes and insurance that the government escapes. The said asso ciation would like to enlist the aid of the newspapers in its fight. All of prhich causes the average owner of a print shop to wonder how many mem bers of the National Association of Manufacturers use envelope* stamped and printed by Uncle Sam in unfair competition with the pi inters of the country? And how many of said members have htJped in the fight against this practice? Yes, as one newspaper has re marked, it makes a whale of a differ ence whose ox ia gored. Why. Dcatrpy the Boll. Weevil: The editor of The News and Courier in Monday’s issue of that excellent newspaper, takes the farmers to ta.ik in a mild way for not following the advice of the Clemson College Ex periment Station in the matter of killing cotton stalks in an effort to destroy the boll weevil. Of course, if all of the wervils in South Carolin B could be exterminated and thia State grow r bumper crop of cotton next year while the yield over the rest of the belt is destroyed by the weevil, fine prices would be rectrved for the staple. But suppose, on the other hand, that the farmers throughout the entire South go to '•eat effort and expense to combat the pest and as a result produce an other bumper crop of sixteen million bales of cotton, has our friends, Dr. Ball, any assurance to offer that the price paid for the staple would equal the cost of production before the advent of the weevil, to say nothing of the increased coat of control meas ures? Surely, he knows that an in creased ESTIMATE of only 164,000 bales caused a decline* of $7.50 a bale in two days last week in the face of a crop of less that IS,000,000 bales. That being true, at what low level will the crop sell at next yeaf if the 7i*M i*-increased three million to llvd'million bales? Where will be the profit if a crop of sixteen million bales shall sell at a smaller price than twelve million? It seems to us, therefore, that it would be infinitively better toepeour- small production rather than over production. What is needed right now is a campaign for curtailment of acreage, as the cotton bears are al ready depressing the price by claim ing that 50 million acres will be planted in 1928. Such an acreage combined with weevil control meas ures, should insure at least five cen's a pound for the staple next Fall. of the raw material is.almost always iowend before there is a reduction in , A Father to Hb Yoking Son. Listen son: I am saying—this to you as you lie asleqp^ one little paw crumpled under your cheek and the broad curls stickily wet on your damp forehead. I have stolen into your room alone. Just a few minutes ago. as I sat reading my paper in the library, a hot stifling wave of re morse swept over me. I could not resist it. _ Guilty” I came to your bedside. " . \ •' “These are the things I was thlfik- ul I ing, son: I had been cross to you scolded, you because you gave your face merely a dab with a towel. I took you to task for not cleaning your) emergency closets maintained by Red shoes. I called out angrily when I found you had thrown some of your things on the floor. * “At breakfast 1 found fault, too. You spilled things. You gulped down your food. You put your elbows on the table. You spread butter too thick on your bread. And as you started off to play and I made for my train, you turned and waved a little hand and called, ’Good-bye daddy!’ a nd I frowned and said in reply, ‘Hold your shoulders back.’ “Then it began all over again in late afternoon. As I came up the hill I spied you down on your knee* play ing marbles. There were holes ?n your stockings. I humiliated you be- Broader Industry In Home Chap ter and in Field Development of Disaster Service.

Men and women from Red Cross Chaptefl in, tbc last year exampled by their work for disaster victims a great er activity than in any'year since the end of the World War. This aervice was given without stint and /ith the finest of spirit, accord ing to Red Cross officials. Volunteer Red Cross workers have served by the thousands with the local Chapters in garment production, printing raised- type reading matter for the blind, in hospital service, as canteen workers and motor corps aids. Nearly all ac tive Chapter workers are volunteers. More than 90 per cent of the avail able reading material for the blind is produced by volunteer Red Cress workers. Volunteers produced 175,481 garments, 2,057,912 surgical dressings for hospital usey and 6,398 articles for fore your boy friends by making you march ahead of me back to the housgj, "Stockings were expensive—and U yau 44.

Another important volunteer service is the prep aration and sending of 30,000 Christ mas bags to soldiers and bluejackets on duty in foreign stations.

It was such a stupid, silly logic. “Do you lemember, later, when I was reading in the library, how you came in softly, with a sort of hurt, hunted look in your eyes? When I glanced up over my paper, impa tient at the interruption, you hesitat ed at the door. ‘W’hat is it you want ? I snapped. "You said nothing, but ran across. * s in one tempestuous plunge, and threw your arms around my neck and kissed me, affain and again, and your small arms tightened with an affection that God has set blooming in your heart, and which even neglect could not wither. And then you were gone, pattering up the stairs. “Well, son, it was shortly after wards that my paper slipped from my hands and a terrible sickening fear came over me. Suddenly I saw myself as 1^ really was, in all my selfishness, and I felt sick a t heart. “W’hat has habit been doing to me? The habit of complaining, of finding fault, of reprimanding—all of these were my rewards tP you for being a boy. It was not that I did not love you; it was that I expected so much of youth.

The American Red Cross relief forces were impressed with this fact during the Miseiesippi Valley flood in recent months. While the relief forces were struggling with this greatest of all dieaeters in United States hletory, from April to June they were obliged to fur nish relief in 21 other emergencies, including 11 tornadoes. In one tor nado approximately 17,000 persons were assisted. At one period the Red Cross was conducting relief operations in 14 dieaeters eimuitaneouely, scattered over a wide territory.

TREASURER’S REPORT Quite often, in discussing the finan cial plight of the farmer, the state ment is made that the automobile is responsible for his- present condi tion, meaning, of course, that high living has brought about the mort gaging of a large percentage of the farms. We believe that statement is correct in large measure, but not in the way it is ordinarily meant. It may be true that too often the ownership of an automobile has caused the financial downfall of individual farmers, but it may be equally true that stich ownership by the masses in other lines of endeavor may be even more to blame. What we have in mind is that tho standard of living in this country bps been raised to a high level, and in order that it may be maintained high wages are paid in practically all lines of industry.
