There it is in a nut. hell. Take it or leave it. There is trouble about pelting farmers to act all together. It has been tried again and again. The suggestion of cutting the cotton crop to one half the present look praeieable yet there is this difficulty. Poor, old human nature crops out in the farmer as well as in other sons ol Adam. Sonic farmer may argue that as the other farmers are going to cut down their crops it will make such a demand for cotton that ihe price will soar and he will put in a big crop and get a big* price. It has been proposed to enforce cutting down the crop by enacting laws limiting the amount of cotton to be planted. It is a loni? time now until rdnnt ing season so that <>iir r\;v;: ukurn! friends can give th,. natter the benc" fit ^ -. yyiHi'-to.i consideration. The vital question now is as to the present crop that is unsold and how to pet tlie most money out ol it. It is 1 a matter that each planter must de-! cide for himself, taking into consid-! eration his own peculiar circum-! stances. IT IS A GOOD WORLD The world is not all bad.

"Nothing is given so profusely as advice" is a maxim ut tered by a Frenchman three hundred years ago. It is true to-day as wher written. The only wise thing for the farmer to do when deluged with advice is to use his best judgment, accepting and acting upon what appeals to him as right and proper and rejecting that which he must know is useless. In this time of stress and distress the cotton farmer needs to use the plain common sense that conies to him as the gift of his Creator. Every mai is endowed with a talent of some kino and Scripture teaches that whatever that talent is, if only one or ten, it should be used to the best advantage. Now comes Mr. \V. R. Thorp, a ' New Orleans cotton expert, and givethe cotton farmer counsel th-t r ay be summarized in four pannrr h . This is the suggestion of a ma.-. v has evidently given the cotton si,nation considerable study: Withhold cotton from slau.htej sale on the present illegitimate and i fear-poisoned market.

The milk of human kindness s not frozen in the hearts of the peo pie. Ever and anon there are records i f good deeds that are inspired by o\\. of humanity. In Macon, Georgia a few days ago a lady while getting n her ear saw a little lame newsboy, rouehed in a goat wagon, selling his papers. The pitiful plight of the little waif appealed strongly to the lady's sympathy. She could not bear .<> think of the bright little boy going through life so badly handicapped.

Hon.

Commenting upon this act of a kind woman Mr. Smith says: "When such instances as this, the real actual effort to make a strong, soundlimbed boy of what everybody, except the surgeons, regarded as a 5h ? _ ' / ?

The families were all right and are now but some of thme are not first. However, there is in the South a new note, with four "F's"?"Food, r eea ana Fertility First." That's a Rood slogan and if generally adopted will bring prosperity to the South. NEW CALENDAR TO HAVE 13 MONTHS A movement has been started and is being agitated throughout the United States for a new arrangement of the days and months of the year. The adherents of the new calendar have petitioned congress to enact legislation making the year consist of 13 months. Each month will contain 28 days. Each month will begin on Monday and end on Sunday. There will be one extra day left over. This will be known as "New Years" and will not belong to either December, January or any other month. Once every four years there will be another extra day which will be known as "Leap Year Day." Some of the benefits of the thirteen calendar months would be the facilitating of interest calculating, and the saving of millions of dollars that are expended annually for the printing and distribution of calendars. One calendar would last until it was worn out. The 13th month would be called "Liberty," and would probably be the last month in the year. \ SLATS' DIARY Friday?Whor- the teecher ast nie 2 describe Manners Costumes of the Natives of the Cannonball eyelands I wassent able 2 Deside so I sed 1 dident know.

By William Mather Lewis, Director Sarlngs Division, 1 Treasury Department. The strength of the United States depends upon the praottcal patriotism and sound economic thought of her future citizens. These ^hars^cterta.1 ...? K. in ?h. ?*ollv 11VO UlUOt uw UUf 1U VMV life of the school. Economist# agree (that the universal adoption of habits of intelligent saving will strengthen our nation tremendously. When every wage earner has a reserve fund of money the country will be sound economically, socially and politically. The teacher who encourages pupils to earn money and to invest in Thrift Stamps and Savings Stamps is doing much for their economic strength and practical patriotism. I Bach child who buys stamps feels a partnership in the government; he ! becomes familiar in a practical way with compound Interest; and as he sticks stamp after stamp upon the card, he has a visual demonstration of how savings grow. Faith without works is dead. Thrift without safe investment, such as government savings securities, is robbed of its benefits. Its virtue lies not only In its principles but In tb? actual practice of investment. Each year thousands of boys and gir'? In the United States are deprived 01 a college education because they lack money. You can remedy this situation among your pupils by starting them on the road to saving early In life and encourage them to safeguard these savings In government securities. There is no habit that so surely leads to success as tho habit of sav Inge; no power so great as the poweT of thrift. Tfiink first and spend afterwards Then you will save more. Put aside regularly a certain sum to he saved Spend the rest wisely as needed. The amount you save is of lesB im portance than the fact that you reallj do save. Those who regularly pu1 asido a part of their earnings arc those who succeed. Savings Stamp! point the way to success. The prosperity of the country rest! ! on the prosperity of individuals. 6av< systematically and buy wisely and bs come a pvosperoua citizen.
