Our Troubles
The bride of a few weeks noticed that her
husband was depressed. J
“Gerald, dearest,” she said, “I know something
is troubling you, and I want you to tell me what
it is; your worries are not your worries now, they
are our worries.”'
“Oh, very well,” he said, “we've just had a
letter from a girl in New York, and she’s suing
us for breach of promise.”

SINUS AND THE HATLESS FAD
fTHE .INSHTUTE for Scientific Research
1 of Hospital Age publications, in urg-
ing the men, women and children of the
country not to expose themselves to the
dangers of hatlessness, suggests that go-
ing without a hat is one of the quickest
and surest ways to devolp sinus trouble.
Dr. Joseph Mandelbaum, speaking for
the New York Tuberculosis and Health As-
sociation, is quoted as having declared, in
a broadcast, “Going with the head uncov-
ered in the fall, winter and early spring is
unhealthy.. It has been definitely proven
that thousands of persons have been need-

MITCHELL B. coE
Funeral services for Mitchell E.
Cope, 59, former Valley View mail
carrier, who died Monday, were
held Wednesday afternoon at 2
o’clock at his residence in Grand
Prairie. .
Burial was in Valley View ceme-
tery, with the Masonic lodge in
charge of services at the grave. A
number of 4 Valley View friends
went to Grand Prairie for the fu-
neral services, and accompanied
the body back to that community.
Survivors are his widow; three
sons, W. A., M. C. and Paul Cope,
all of Dakas, and a granddaugh-
congress. That report is of the greatest
importance to all the people.
The committee shows where cash sav-
ings of more than $1,300,000,000 can be
made in non-defense federal spending dur-
ing the fiscal year which will begin July
1. It also recommends additional legisla-
tive action for savings which would bring
the total cut in non-defense spending to al-
most $1,717,000,000. And this is only its
first report—it will make further reports
and show where still more retrenchment is
practical and possible.
The Brookings Institution has already
made an itemized survey which indicates
possible savings in excess of $2,000,000,-
000. It too expects to make further reports
to show where additional cuts can and
must be made.

THE EDITOR GETS A LETTER
A LETTER has been lying on the editor’s desk
A for nearly a week. It bears no signature, and -
hence it cannot be printed, even if the writer
had intended it to be used. But, somehow, the
editor cannot throw it into the wastebasket,
where such letters usually go. To cast that letter
into the waste seems like discarding some fine
and precious refinement of the spirit.
The letter is from a father who that day had
seen his son go off as a volunteer to the army.
Evidently the father is a person of education; cer-
tainly he is a person of sensitive feeling, of devo-
tion to his country and the ideals for which it
stands. I
Presumably there were no tears at this part-,
ing of father and son. But the -father came back
to his office, “the pigeons of 23 years ago come
home again,” and there in the fullness of his heart
wanted to unburden himself to somebody. And so
he wrote, by some strange impulse, unknown and
unidentified, to the editor, making the editor a
repository of a father’s cry of grief.
He wrote of the vows he had made, of the
prayers he had lifted, when this his firstborn
son came into being, “Clean and decent,” the lad
had grown. That way he went into the army.
That way the father wanted him back, if he came
back. But more important than having him back
was that he would do his part in opposing those
who would build a way of life not fine, as this
boy was.
In the expansiveness of a parent’s love, the
1 father prayed that not only his son would return,
but that thousands, even millions, of other fathers
would see their sons return. Yet, there were
greater things than life and death, and to these
the father committed his son.
Perhaps if the letter had borne a signature,
it would have been regarded only as some per-
son’s individual feelings and thoughts. But with-
out a signature, it seemed to be the cry of all the
fathers of the land. It was a voice welling up out
of the hearts of lathers the world over. It was
the eternal picture of fathers with smiles on their
lips sending their sons to war while pride and
fear and love and dread and a thousand other
emotions made battlefields of their hearts.
It was only a letter, incoherent only As deep
emotions are always incoherent. But the editor
can’t put it out of mind, because it was so much
more than a letter.—Birmingham (Ala.) News.

THE COTTON SITUATION
(OTTON production in the United States
v is on a domestic basis for the first time
since colonial days.
A relatively small crop of 10,976,000
bales was; produced in 1941, while a great-
ly expanded domestic consumption is ex-
pected to equal or exceed 11,000,000 bales
during the present year, competent ob-
servers believe.
Cotton consumption for tires and autos
will decline, of course, but other forms
of civilian and industrial consumption in-
directly related to the war effort will prob-
ably be above average. •.
Because of shortages of other fibers
usually obtained from the Far East the
use* of cotton as a substitute will be in-
creased. It is estimated that about half

a bale is required annually to clothe and
equip a soldier, or ten times the average
requirement for civilians.
Total supplies of cotton in the United
States are ample (about 23,000,000 bales),
although supply of some higher grades
‘ may not be fully equal to demand. Of the
total supply, says Washington Review,
about 5,60,000 bales are owned by the
government, and 1,800,000 are held as
ollateral for federal loans. Whenever
prices become sufficiently attractive, the
latter may be redeemed by the borrower.
• Government owned cotton is now being
-offered for sale, but according to present •
laws the amount which may be released is
limited to 1,500,000 bales a year. As so-
called’“free” cotton totals around 15,600,-
000 bales, there is possibility of a rather
tight supply situation before the 1942
crop becomes available.
A shortage in civilian supplies of cotton
goods may be seen because a substantial
part of existing mill capacity may be di-
verted to army' and navy production and
, difficulty will be experienced in obtaining
additional machines, or even in obtaining
repair and replacement parts for equip-
ment.

GUARANTEE OF GOOD SEED
HARMERS ARE WARNED to carefully
i examine the tag on containers of seed
before buying them this year, in a state-
ment by.B. V. Hasselfield, recently elected
i president of the Texas Certified Seed
. Breeders Association. Scarcity and dan-
. ger of poor quality are primary reasons
ffered.
Because of bad climatic conditions,
many growers made little OF no seed.
And much of that seed harvested will have
inferior germination, he advises.
Texas law requires that all seed, except-
ing that sold by the farmer who grew it,
and sold unadvertised in his own coun-
ty, must be tested and tagged. The
tag shows germination, purity and
weed content of the seed, and any farmer
may protect himself by simply examining
the tag before buying.
< ’ If seed has met the exacting require-
MAY OFFER CONSOLATION
fro THOSE who have recently entered, or
31 are about to enter the armed service of
their country, there may be some consola-
. tion in the findings of insurance statisti-
■ clans that “heavy as the military losses
in the present war have been, they have
been much less than those incurred in the
corresponding period of the last war.”
From the beginning of the present war
to the end of 1941, deaths in the armed
farces of all the belligerent nations prob-
ably reached at least 1,500,000 to 1,750,-
-000 and may exceed 2,000.000. In the
Worid war, the statisticians estimate 5,-
000 000 men had been killed in the cor-
responding period between July 1914 and
the end of 1916. The estimate of dosses in
