Letter From Comdr. Essex A letter received recently from Commander Simon L. Essex of the Merchant Marine somewhere in the South Pacific is as follows: “I suppose that you are surprised to hear that I am still over in this part of the world, but as this is where the war is going on that is where we are needed most. We have made several trips up and down the coast here delivering supplies to the different bases that need them most. We have had a nice trip, but have seen some action at a few of the places. The place where we are now is one of the new bases and there are Japs still very near where the ship is and at times we can hear the fireing. The other day I saw them bring in some dead Jap snipers that had been fireing on the boys here in camp. I think the Japs up in the hills are running out .of food and they come down to the camps to steal. The patrols shot one yesterday that had enough supplies to last him for weeks, that he h‘ d stolen

from one of our supply dumps. I had a nice trip up in the mountains in a jeep but there are still plenty of Japs up there so I don’t think I will go up there for a while. Editor’s note . . • Thanks, Commander Essex, for the nice letter and the Jap invasion coins. And we, over here on the home front are trying to back up all the boys on the fighting fronts. Good luck to you all.

Belles and Beaux Get Timely Advice •• T_T E WHO hurries the fastest “ sometimes misses the boat** is the advice Holly Miller gives ’teenage boy and girl readers of her column in nationally circulated Capper’s Farmer. ‘Time may be a-wastin’, belles and beaux,*’ she writes, “but don’t let the thought get you in such a dither that you forget your rearing.’* Here are one or two instances of the value of avoiding haste cited by this Capper’s Farmer authority: “Wait for the car to stop and for your swain of the evening to come around and open the door for you. House doors, theater doors and the swinging opening to the drugstore come into this consideration. Give him a chance to be polite. “Take your time when making introductions. Repeat names plainly and, incidentally, say the name of the most respected first. Spend a little time getting folks acquainted before you leave them cold. Just adds a little to your smoothie air. “You won’t starve if you don’t get your meal into your stomach in 3 minutes flat. It’s not a very pretty show for your family, and some day you might forget when you’re away from home. Take time to be polite to your kinfolks. It pays off in the end, since practice gives poise.” Problems concerning etiquette, manners and the means of acquiring smoothness are dealt with by Miss Miller in issues of the magazine. She is always ready to answer questions that puzzle youthful readers and to suggest methods of meeting various situations.

King Cotton . By GEORGE S. BENSON President ol Harding College um Searcy. Arkansas ■ .hi rm ■

LOOKING AHEAD

SITTING on a throne, holding economic sway over 13 million loyal subjects, King Cotton was a liberal and lovable old character. Playing the part of a pensioner, however, be has not protected his future very wefl. Abnormal circumstances call for emergency measures, of course, but King Cotton deserves to rale instead of “pass the hat** and his friends should work to promote him. People who know even a little about cotton as an industry want that crop to rale southern agriculture for several years after the war, at least They have a good reason that is patriotic and unselfish: Cotton normally provides more jobs than any other industry and work is essential to national prosperity. A cotton depression could blast this whole nation’s post-war hopes. ““ Parity “HOW," you may ask. Prices “can a single industry get in enough trouble to bring on a depression? 1 * Answer: Simply by losing its markets. Normally, be it remembered, half the cotton raised in America is sold abroad. But Brasil, China, India and Russia, ceauay cotton countries, are taking our foreign markets by selling for less. They plant their best, level lands to cotton and produce it cheaply. < 1 The U. S. has plenty of rich, level land too but foreigners undersell ns because our pries ia phoney; pegged so a one-mule crop on a rutty hillside, worn out with 100 yean of cotton, will show a profit.

Buy Bonds Back the Attack

vented “parity price** trying to help the grower buy as much with a bale of cotton now as in the five yean before World War I; then to prop the sham price, loaned 90% on cotton security. Divided RESULTS ere well Honors known. The government took America’s cotton but the foreigners took America’s customers and, unless we can get them back after the war, we will never sell half as much cotton as we are raising now. Even the home market is in danger. New fibres like rayon are cheaper already than the beat of cotton and scientists are improving them every day. Nothing can save the U. S. cotton business after the war but ability to sell successfully in world markets. Frozen acreage already has run its course. Price subsidy will have served its purpose before the war is over. Dependence is business suicide to any farmer. lam convinced that the Southern planter’s wisdom and Yankee ingenuity can be relied upon to put King Cotton back in power where he ean create wealth, pay good wages and laugh at Asia and South America. ~ * - r Three things need prompt government action: <1) Encourage planting cotton on land where a crop is possible, where it ean be chopped (perhaps even picked) by machinery. (2) Get ready to meet any price named anywhere in world trade. (3) Sell that horded fibre. Uncle Sam would look pretty silly after the war holding a shirt-tail full of cotton in a rayon shirt, r
