A PRAYER FOR THE CHILDREN.
Whenever children «o to bed
And hang their atocklnga up with care,

An empty stocking, and to woep
Because old Santa Claua forgot
For Santa Claua ia not alone
The patron saint of rich. I'm sure.
But he ia loved as dearly by
The little children of tho poor.
And so I pray that ho may And
The poorest urchin In the land,
And that nollttlo trusting child
May wake to weep and undoratand.
THE! SOUTH'S GREAT CROP.
This Year’s Production, With the
Seed and Llnters, is Expected to
Bring Southern Farmers More
Than a Billion Dollars,
Washington, D. C., Dec. 12.—A crop
of 6,642,850,000 pounds of cotton, not
including linters, was produced in the
United States during the season of
1913*14, the Department of Agriculture
announced to-day. This is the third in
site, that of 1911, which amounted to
7,459,950,000 pounds, being the record,
and that of last year, when 6,851,710,000
pounds were grown, being second.
This year’s crop probably will be the
most valuable over grown in the United
States. At the average farm value of
cotton on Nov. 1, which was 13 cents a
pound, it is worth $860,570,500 for the
lint alone. To this about $125,000,000
probably will be added by tho value of
the soed and linters. The previous most
valuable crop was that of 1910, which
was valued at $820,320,000, and, with
seed and lint, at $963,180,000.
All of the States, with the exception
of Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri and
Oklahoma, produced crops better than
the average of the past five years, !
while Georgia, Alabama and South |
Carolina produced their second largest
crops, and Texas its third largest.
THE BUREAU'S REPORT.
The American cotton crop for the sea
son of 1913-14 will amount to 13,677,000

11,375,461 bales.
The average total' production, exclu
sive of linters, for the five years from
1907 to 1911, was 12,331,047 bales. The

How to Avoid Cold Weather Dis
eases.
To prevent cold weather diseases, put
your body into a proper healthy condi
tion to successfully resist them. Colds,
grippe, bronchitis, pneumonia, catarrh,
typhoid fever, rheumatism and other

entire body —into such shape that you
can count on good health all during the
winter months—by taking Rexall Olive
Oil Emulsion, the ideal blood, nerve and

common-sense one. It doesn’t stimulate.

ful, stimulating ingredients, such as al
cohol and dangerous habit - forming
drugs. IU great benefit to you iB
through its real nerve and blood and
body - building effects. It nourishes,
builds, strengthens. Its merit does not
rest on making you feel better for a
few minutes at a time after taking it,
but on making you feel better as a re
suit of making you well.
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion is the ideal
blood nerve-food tonic. You who are
weak and run-down, and you who are
apparently well now, but are liable to
suffer from various cold weather ail
ments, use Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion
to get and keep well and strong. For
the tired-out, run-down, nervous, ema
ciated or debilitated—the convalescing

ter spirits, glowing health.

Don’t Bum the Leaves.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
One of the important contributions of
nature to the fertility of the soil is the
great mass of leaves that fall when
froet comes. They decay and compen
sate the soil for what It has done; they
prepare it for future demands. Their
failing and their restoration of soil fer
tility illustrates the great law of com
pensation in nature.
It is common at this season of the
year to hear complaints about the
leaves. They pile up in the yard, and
many consider them unsightly. Many
accordingly hasten to gather and con
sign the leaves to the flames, careless
of the waste involved in their destruc
tion.
Don’t bum the leaves. Withered and
dead, they still have their natural func
tion to perform. If one must keep
them off the lawn, pile them in a secure
place, sprinkle dirt over them and let
nature prepare its natural fertilizer for
the soil. Sprinkle it on the flower bed
next spring and note the result. Put
it about the trees and keep them in
health.
Nature iB wiae in all her plana. Since
the first tree spread its arms aud defied
the storms, the falling leaves have thus
aided in soil replenishment, and helped
all forma of plant life. Why not per
mit the plana of nature to be carried
out, for producing that which nature
delights to produce for the comfort of
msn? Don’t bum the leaves.

All Good Lawyers Democrats?
World's Work.
An interesting incident in connection
with Attorney-General McReynolds’ ap
pointment as assistant to Attorney-
General Knox during the Roosevelt ad
ministration is revealed in an article by
Burton J. Hendrick.
One day in 1903 Mr. Dickinson, who
later was Secretary of War under
President Taft, dropped into Attorney-
General Knox’s office in Washington.
Mr. Knox was full of trouble; business
was accumulating at an alarming rate,
and he found himself hopelessly dls
couraged in his attempts to get capa
ble assistants.
Don’t you know of a good lawyer
I can appoint assistant Attorney-Gen
eral?” he asked Mr. Dickinson.
“Yes, I know just the man,” Baid
his visitor; “there’s only one objection
you can have to him.”
‘What’s that?”
‘He’s a Democrat.”
‘I don’t care if he is,” replied
Mr. Knox. “All I want is a man who
knows the law. Most of our good
lawyers seem to be Democrats, any
way,” he added.
Mr. McReynolds’ appointment was
made immediately.
Stop at this busy 'Christmas season
and think for a moment of the folks
back home. Consider how much hap
pier they will be if you are with them
on this Christmas Day. Perhaps
your parents are getting old now
—perhaps they have only a few more
Christmases to spend here. Certain
ly Tyour presence at the old home
place would add greatly to their joy.
Think of the days when you were
child—of the Christmases, now gone
forever, when your father and mother
did so much to make you happy. A
man’s mother iB the best friend he ever
had or ever can have. One owes it to
her to spend Christmas at her side and
to devote the day to making her happy.
But if we have no mother what would
be prettier, what sentiment or act
could be more beautiful, than to visit
her grave and make it green with
wreaths and flowers on Christmas Day?
E. J. Hudson, Cross Keys, Ga., used
Foley’s Cathartic Tablets without the
slightest inconvenience or sickness, and
says: “I have used many liver pills and
tried many cathartics, but believe Fc-
ley’s Cathartic Tablets are the best on
earth. They are a perfect cathartic,
and always satisfy beyond expecta
tion.” J. F. Lee Drug Co.
The Christmas card as we know it
has an origin easily traceable, and it is
now quite seventy years ago since the
first was designed. The artist who
claimed to be its originator, and who
was at any rate the first to see its pos
sibilities, was W. C. T. Dobson, R. A.
an Englishman, who, when quite
young man, in 1844 was prompted at
Christmas to make a little sketch sym
bolic of the season’s joys and festivi
ties and to send it to a friend. It seem
ed to give great pleasure, and the next
year Mr. Dobson determined to follow
up the idea on a larger scale, and by
having bis card lithographed was ena
bled to send copies to twenty-five or
thirty friends. The delight with which
they were received was so great that
Mr. Dobson was quick {o perceive that
he bad found out & new pleasure for
Christmas.
J. B. Williams, proprietor of the ho
tel at Trenton, Ga., says: “I am 73
years old and have been using Foley’a
Honey and Tar Compound for years aud
years, with the best and surest results.

ates. Last winter I began cougl ‘

Presents Bought For Show.
The most miserable Christmas pres
ent, the kind that no human being is
rich enough to afford, is that which is
bought to make a show, to exploit
one’s own vanity. •
When you are tempted to buy a “show
off” present, remember that the recip
ient has some rights. One who under
stands will be made unhappy by that
kind of gift. You know yourself that
when you receive a present that repre
sents a great sacrifice on the part of
the giver it makes you feel miserable,
even when the right spirit is behind it.
The cost in money is about the poor
est of measures for any kind of a gift.
The thoughtfulness id it, the recogni
tion of a desire for things unasked for,
the affection that goes with it, counts
for much raorb. Every Christmas each
of us receives a message that means
more than the most expensive gift.
Yet we forget that sometimes in the
perplexing selection of presents for
others.
“Here, Alfred, is an apple. Divide it
politely with your little sister.”
“How shall I divide it politely, mam
ma?”
“Why, always give the larger part
to the other person, my child. ”
Alfred thought a moment, then hand
ed the apple to his little sister, saying:
“Here, sis, you divide it.”
Propose to a girl in a canoe and you’ll
have two chances of being thrown over.
