CONTINGF)N(Il IS.
There are three possible continhgen
cies which could prevail next year
which would guarantee a high price
for cotton. One' is an early peace
by victory. Tih.'i is' at best I
doubtful possibility. The Germans
appear to be as strong now as ever.
Another is a piolongation of the pres
ent deadlock. 'T'his ran he maintained
only by unselfish deval ioln to the cause
we are coltitted to. Another is a
peace by a German victory. This is
not to be considered, yet if our
armIiies have not the wherewithal t(
fight they cannot light. In the last
instance, what satisfaction would
i tere he In walth, even 'ere it Saved
frontl war axes and indctnliti's, not
to inleniion i Ilun invasion with all of
its altroeitos possibilities? Another
contingency. however, tonlit tIe es
lhe prlice of c'otlon so that, ('veni in the
slicesfu posecuitionl of thle war, it
wouhl be to th1e advantage of the ag
rie linralist to feetd hiunself and his
i( hblors in. town. That is an aentle
sbhortage of toot lihat woult force the

that may remslt in untold los.es, not
only in mloney to 1hituself but in1 ;ride

Deep Breathing.
Declarlny that the benenits of deep
breathing are overestimated, a medical
person says: "'hen a person breathes
very deeply he exercises the muscles
of his chest, shoulders and abdomen,
tind that is good for him. He drives
some blood from his trunk into his
feet and hands. If his feet. and hands
are cold that inreases his comfort.
These are real advantages of deep
breathing exercises once or twice a
dlay." Also, when an Amerienn citi
zen is indulging in deep breathing he
cannot talk.

"It'.is to the great Northwest that
the nation looks as once before in
critical days, for that steadiness of
purpose and firmness of determination
which shall see this struggle through
to a decision that shall make the mas
i-rN of Germany rue the day they nn
masked their purpose and challenged
our republic."
T. P. O'Connor, Irish member of the
British parliament, taking as his text
an American flag which ho held in
his hand, dwelt on the opportiuities
afforded emigrants to this country as
the basis for a loyalty that should
be untarnished by a divled allegiance.
.$When a United States Senator tells
you that the United States went to war
to protect munition manufacturers and
the Moran loans he slanders your
honor and patriotism," said Senator
l"rank 11. Kellogg. "'T'his is the time
to give the lie to that statement."
Germany began to brood over the
1 world war from the Agadir episode,
United States Senator lnute Nelson
declared. "And Germany has been
plotting against us since Admiral
Dewey called time on Admiral Dietrich
at Manila Ulay," he added.
