At the same time, they are peculiarly exposed to the temptation to give with what the president calls "self-adulation," to give vaingloriously. Here is another needle-eye which the rich man's camel does not easily negotiate. It is the middle man's problem that runs the whole gamut of motive, froin the best to the basest. The spirit of service and sacrifice bid to generosity; duty reminds him of the butcher and yve money always. Because they are Sample Shoes.

These Work Bravely. More than a million other women have been working hard and steadily, the majority of them at least five full days a week, for two years or more without pay. They Include the women, and girls of comfortable circumstances wash dishes, cook, answer telephone calls and do the hundred-and-one odd job3 around a hospital. They are to be found in every canteen and soldier's lodging house, in the munition making area3 and even on railway platforms, directing columns of traveling troops from train to train. It would be of no benefit either to them or to the government to bring these women under conscription, especially as thousands of them hold as many as three of roof-tree, of which friends know and.

state licenso thoso unpaid jobs apiece. The" suffrage issue fe one that tho government surely must face aam if conscription of women should be undertaken. This might be difficult, as the opposition to extending suffrage to younger women couldn't stand up very long against the brave and effi cient record of the young women who already are releasing many battalions of soldiers for the trenches. COTTON GROWERS VERY PROSPEROUS Atlanta, June 8. Southern cotton growers have just passed through one of the most prosperous periods in history.

The historic upsweep of the market has put thousands of dollars into the pockets of cotton producers whose offerings have been readily absorbed at the highest price since the Civil I War thirty-five cents a pound. Fortunes were made in a day. The negro and white man shared alike in the golden harvest. With the advent of unheard of prices they rushed the staple to market. Hundreds of bales were turned into moneyvby their holders.

At the Atlanta exchange the sale of 2,125 bales Was recorded at the record mark. The cotton brought an unheard of price of more than $37,000 or exactly. $175 a bale. But this was only for "lint. Those fortunate in having seed received just about $215 for the two combined.

1 During the record rise, J. Colier of Barnesville completed one of the largest cotton sales ever transacted in Georgia. He sold 725 bales at a round ugure of thirty-five cents a pound to an Atlanta house. The sale totaled $140,000. All sales records shattered at Montgomery, when the Cellers Oram Company sold 700 bales for $195,000.

It was the largest sale of a considerable quantity ever transacted in Alabama. The flat rate was 35 a pound. M. M. Hobbs, a farmer, of near Dublin, sold live bales of the staple grown on three acres of land for $992.50.

The seed brought him $180. This was an average return per acre of $330.83. That the negro is also profiting by the high cotton prices is indicated by reports from Way cross, where Henrv Fennell, colored, has just sold (By United Press.) London, May 20. (By mail.) Conscription of women soon will start zigzagging its way through the House of Commons. Sir William Bull's lill appears to be too coarse for success If it ever becomes law the changes will be so great that its author won't recognize it.

The bill may go on and suffer de feat Or it may bT tabled after it- has served the purpose of permitting discussion of the complicated problem of forcing Tommy's shrinking sis ters to put on khaki or blue and do their bit. The Bull bill cannot succeed unlesji the. Government lowers the minimum voting age for women. It proposes conscription of women between 18 and 31, while the suffrage law doesn't permit women to vote until they are 30 years old. Thus more than ninety per.

cent of the eligibles for conscription have absolutely no voice in tli government. There are many quiet ways of ditching impracticable legislation in the House of Commons. Sis William will have accomplished one big purpose if he merely starts the idea running through the heads of the cabinet members; It will be up to them to make the compensating concessions In suffrage, and perhaps to introduce a women's conscription bill of their qwn when the showdown comes on British manpower. There are about 2,000,000 women between 18 and 40 without family or household responsibilities who have never engaged seriously in war work. They are virtually idle except that some spend a few hours each week in light canteen work for the soldiers.

Could Release Men. By working full time at munitioning or clerking it is estimated that they could release half a million able young men, many cf whom could be developed into infantry troops. This addition to the army would in turn postpone the day when 500,000 elderly civilians would be called up under the recently-enacted manpower law. There are thousands of young w. men in civil life who are earning good wages as stenographers' and office clerks, factory hands, store clerks and tronsport workers, each one of whom has released a fit man for tho army.

Most of these women have been at work for a year or two, having been specially trained for their new jobs. They would have to receive special consideration, because they could not be expected to give up those jobs with their present high wages to accept nominal wages on an equal footing with unskilled 'slack-erettes' of a feminine conscript army. The Waac's and the Wren's the latter organization 4)eing the women's naval auxiliary arm would welcome conscript recruits for the valuable work they are carrying on both in England and behind the lines in France. A great many other conscripts could be employed in saving small bus iness houses from ruin due to the calling up of proprietors have been carrying on alone for the past two years. A Place for Women.

The one-man business house has been one of the tenderest cases with which the tribunals have had to deal in their daily hearings on pleas for The despairing business man usually faces complete ruin when he Is finally called up. He sometimes succeeds in funding a buyer for his store usually at sacrifice but more often he is forced to sell out stock and fixtures at a loss, close up the place and face the prospect of beginning all over again late in life after the war if he is fortunate enough to come back. If the women conscripts could save such firms the gain would compensate for the trouble of building up a conscription machine, In any case there is no likelihood of mothers with children being called up. Their contribution to the national cause is apparent. his staple raised on a sman iarm Ior THE HUNNYCUTT PRtntinq jo.

The significant success of America's campaign to save 'wheat can be judged from receat estimates that the United States is eating only one-third of the normal consumption. This is not so bad. In fact, it is remarkable that such a splendid evidence of self-denial has made itself so pertinently felt in such a brief space of time We must do even better than this. We are not through with war yet, nor will we be through with it for many, many months to come.

Al- thousrh the demand has increased many times, the acreage will only be about normal. No perceptible increase is predicted. Southern farmers and planters have responded to the plea of the administration to raise m6re foodstuffs. As a result cotton production will -suffer.

The cotton belt is also embarrassed by the shortage of labor, the lack of fertilizer and the boll weevil is creasinc in All these things combined, some cotton experts predict will cause a reduction in acreage of at least 2 per cent during the present year.
