Verily these are things that are fearful about human nature when you think about it. * * * * In this issue of the paper is a selected editorial entitled: "You ARE if You Are." It contains much that is interesting to think about, and in fact, it is plain common sense. It was selected for publication in this paper because we have so often noticed the wrong notion that a hoy or girl, and even grown up people will often have, about just what it takes to make superiority, and as to what really causes some men and women to excel others in achievment. The boy who starts out in life with the belief seemingly fixed in his mind that he was born to boss the world whether or not he intends to make himself worthy of it by his extra ability and training, is in a bad way ever to amount to anything, and the chances are that he will not, unless he gets the false notions knocked out of him. Read the editorial for what good it will do you. Take thought and it will help you. * * * THE ONLY THING TO DO. The man who thinks that the farmers of the South are a foolish lot, is a fool himself. The time has been, perhaps, in theh istory of the South, when the farmer did not know very quickly the matters of national imA<??^n v? a a L ? /iL ? i 4 1,11 ? ? /\ o r% 4 u a ' pOitcvii^c wiilCtt \ ium4\ lOiilciiio im; 11 interests. In those times the farmers did not read like they read at the pres ent time. Just now, when the outlook for cotton is paralyzed bv the Euro pean war situation, there is no class of people on the face of the earth more aware of the situation, and th< best remedy for it, than the farmers of this country. Time has been wher they would not have known. To knov quickly what the sitauation is means at least half the battle on the way tc the proper remedy. After summing it all up, the farmers have no doubl deceided that the only things to do is to hold the cotton crop. .Just because there are no big brick warehouses throughout large portions of the country in which the cotton may h< stored is no reason at all why thej cannot or will not hold the crop hack Many of the farmers are in positior to get their accounts extended at the banks and business houses, so that il is not necessary to sacrifice the croj * i n orfier to meet a debt. The banker f and the merchant can no more afford to let the farmer sell his crop at a sacrifice than the farmer can afford it himself. . In many instances, if forced to sell at the present prices, the total amount received for the crop 5 would not pay the farmers debt' for supplies. Then where will the merchant or the banker come in? If the farmer cannot pay his debt, the banker or merchant may have to lose it. By helping: the farmer in his plans ' to store and hold the cotton, there will 1 be a time, and we hope soon, when the crop will bring enough tp pay all that the farmer owes. In the situation which confronts the I South today, by reason of this war, all classes and conditions of people will be compelled to come together in the ;_i. j' r - ? interest 01 tne common good. This is what they all know. To sell the cotton crop now is to sacrifice it at about | half what.it is worth. No farmer is . fool enough to do it if he can possibly > avoid it. Each farmer owning only a . small quantity, ranging from four or , live to as much as seventy-five bales, needs no modern warehouse in order to keep the cotton safe at his farm. 1 Under sheds, and even In the open ' held, with the right kind of precau' tions, the cotton can be safely kept 1 until the price goes up. Meet the situation squarely now be' fore the crop is sacrificed at nearly nothing,-make plans at once to keep it in storage, either on the farm or in some reliable warehouse, be patient , and watch the situation in the mean time, and do not grumble at the hard . times that may be caused by doing without the money the crop would bring, and it will not be long before 1 the war in Europe will be over, the i people over there will have to go back ( to work, at least' as many of them as ( are left, the world will need the cot , ton worse than ever it did before, and the price of cotton will be higher than it ever has been before; then the farm or and Also the merchant and the banker who are helping him out, will reap the reward that intelligent waiting is sure to bring them. It is the only thing to do. THE GOVERNMENT MUST COME TO THE RESCUE. It is our hope?and it seems to us , well founded?that the European war will be comparatively brief. In any case, it seems safe to say that before spring the war should be over, and \ , the survivors of the present struggle ready to resume their wonted occupations. While all the nations will suffer heavily in money as well as in men, the people will have to be clothed?and cotton will continue to be the cheapest clothing folks can wear. While for a few weeks, therefore, the cotton trade will be seriously upset?both by reason of the deranged commerce of Europe and by reason of the fact that European ships will not be available for carrying our cotton abroad?the hopeful fact is that with, in a few months, anyhow, the world must have our present 1914 cotton crop, and must pay a fair price for it. Until the war is settled, cotton, if marketed in the usual early-autumn quantities, will certainly be a drag on the market, and will not bring anywhere near its worth. The problem is as to whether our farmers are go' ing to be forced to sell under such con ditions and literally hand over to the speculative classes millions of dollars the toiiing classes have created. In the face of such disaster?as genuine and as serious as if caused by flood, famine, or earthquake?it seems to us imperative that the National Government should lend its aid. The Government should furnish sufficient money to enable every Southern farm'* or to borrow very nearly the value of his cotton and so hold it until conditions become normal. And what is more, the Government must so control and manage its help as to make sure that it goes directly to the man it is r intended for, without forcing him to t pay high interest rates or excessive banking charges.?The Progressive Farmer.

What difference does it really make whose name appears on the stationery. The only thing that matters is the future ?the opportunity to develop personal power, dignity and character, that neither man, nor type, nor ink, nor time can destroy. If you are perturbed and vexed over your standing and position, over the size of type in which your name appears?remember some fine day when the wind is East, when you are quibbling and wrangling over things that do not really matter, and never can?snmpnrip cnmou-iiuwi J -" >.7 ?? uvi V-7 >V iiU Aft tit work?improving his mind, taking inventory of his moral and mental stock?will soon pass you along the trail. You can never be Manager of anything or anybody by simply saying so ?or by being appointed so. You can never be Manager of a department or a business by being elected Manager ?you must be it. You are if you are, and if you are not, if you do not measure up to your job, no Directors' Meeting, no change in the Company's letter-head can change or alter the fact that you have failed. Oh, I know Fame and Wealth are magic words, but you look back through the history you have read? down the list of names of noted men and women you have known?and, unless there was smcthing substantial back of their dreams and ideals, what they really found after they had closed their hands over the rainbow of their fancy was an empty nothing? ! Idled with unfounded hones. You canot acquire position, fame, character and happiness by pursuing these things in themselves, but if you apply yourself to accomplish a certain thing because it is your life's work to accomplish it, your work will be followed by the success it deserves. A boy with neither education nor | experience?working for a salary of $8.00 a week can set up your name in 36 point type, but only a few men in a generation set up the physical, moral, and mental monument that makes the MAN.?Selected.
