It will he worth a good deal more when American mills begin to bid for it and when ships begin to come to this cauntry for it. Already terrific advances have been mnde in meat, corn, wheat, sugar and other ai ti des. Hold your cotton nnd keep your nerve. Cotton is going up.

THE ShXvTe OF IT~ A Tew year* aito Kansas City had a fiam-lilte election and ihe ' local Street railway #pept moncv freely and openly to brink voter* and lo buy the election. The »rr«vt rmlwa, with tdo ua# o," money won and ts stock In ciea*ed something like font million* In the market. It could afford to squander mon,o to corrupt r , voter* and to !>u» the election. It will make ts« people of Kausa* City pav it ail back and more, too. In the next thirty years, with Inferior service, rotten schedule* and antiquated equipment. One poor "repeater" aho *old h ■ vote to the street railway waa caught, convicted and sentenced to two year* Imprisonment. And now ne demand 1* going up all over the country to troaecute and to convict the men higher up—the vote-buyer ss well a.v Ihe vote-«eller; Why should the $2 n<l repeater get tw year* In the penltetuiarv while the men who spent thousands to debauch the election, and ta make millions for ttiemselvai out of the new franchise, out of the fellow clt ten*, be respect ed and looked up to a* prominent citizens? Kansan City Is determined <o start proggeatlon against g the hig fellow* ** well •• against the Htfv crook*. THE SHOEMAKER RAT On. day a rat gnawed hi* way Into a pantry, and after he had eaten all he wanted be grew bold and went Into the kitchen. 'I lit re the cook eaw him nnd chatted him with a broom, hut, not being able to hit him a* he ran nut of the door ehe picked up a pair of *hoea that were tttandlng near and threw them nt t<-r him. The rat picked them tip and put them on. On hi*, way home he met a cat "What have you on your feet?” he nnked the rat. "Pan you not are, my dear TtrniT 1 ttabl the rat. "They are ahoe*. I am a ahoftrnaker, and of conrae muat wear my own product*.” "Make me a pair,” raid the cat, "and I will spare your life." "Very well,” replied tiie rat, "but flret you must bring me tom* leather." Kn the cat ran away and brought hack two hide*. When the rat aaw the amount of leather he waa atruck with an idea. "My dear Turn," he raid, "I can make you a null of clothe* and a pair of glove* an well a* the ahoe», and you will he the envy of all the other eats.* Tom wa* delighted and told the rat to hurry and make the outfit. The wlae rat flr*t made the glove* and covered Tom’* sharp claw*. Then taut.r hum »v r*g ran. he made the ehoea for the hind feet, and when ho had that done he fe t I mfe. "Now you mtiat wait," he *a!d, “un til I get something with which I can COTTON IS SAFE However there be a temporary do | moraltxatlon of commerce on account j of <he European w«r, It must not for I “ moment be'supposed that Southern | cotton will be emrrlflood. | It may be act down »* certain that j the federal government will employ! ••very lawful agency to extend aid fur the salvation of the crop. Indirectly the United State* ha* not le»* at stake than have the Southern farmer*. The country ha* been In recent year* dependent chiefly on cot ton for the maintenance of the bal ance of tnacle in It* favor. With un administration In Washington com pimed largely of men born In the South and with a sympathetic understanding of Southern condition*, there la no grave reason for apprehension. It 1* already assured that by the organization of Southern banker* to take advantage of the provision* of AMERICANS FREE TO DEPART Frenoh and German Railways Open to Them After Completion of Mobilization. Washington—Amerlean government official* entrusted with the task of facilitating the return of Americana from Europe to this country have re ceived, through the State Department Information from our ambassadors abroad that Inspires the belief that the Continental nations will interpose no obstacles to the departure of the Americana after mobilization has been finished. From the British government word has come that the departure of Amer icans In tine British Isle* will be fa ollitated In every way. From the. French government assurances have come that Americans may leave fhflt In ten or twelve days the rail road*, now used for mobilizing troops, w ill be free for the use of Americans leaving the country, and that a num ber of Americans may bo taken to a Greek seaport, from which point they may come to the United States Oec many has also assured the American government that there wll 1 he no ob jection to She departure of Americans :,f er the mobilization has been fin ished. KNEW HER AIM. The farmer waa walking comfort ably and happily along the lane lead ing to his own homestead when sud denly out sprang a strange dog. He veiled for assistance, and hta cry was heard by Ms wife. Hut. alas! when ahe came upon him the dog had al ready fastened Ma teeth In her loved one's calf Quickly she picked up a atone, and waa Just about to hurl It, when the husband realtgod the new and terrible danger he was now* ex posed to, but with presence of mind he called to her: "Mary, Mary! fton't throw the store at the dog; throw It at me,"— Exchange A WISE WOMAN. "Why do you watch the basehall bulletins ao carefully ?" "My husband Is an enthusiast over the game I make It a rttle never to discus* household or millinery ex penses with him except on days when th# home team wins." Exchange. The majority of men who borrow money return it. Detroit Free Frees. "Wo ar# taking In boarders thl* summer." "Have they found it out getT"—Baltimore American. fasten the coat.” He ran away and returned with tome long, aharp thorn*. Next the rat put the leather around Tom’s body and drew It tight, fast ening It with a thorn which he puahed so that, the sharp point pricked Tom. "What are you doing?" asked Tom, angry at being hurt; but he could not move, the leather costume waa ao atltf and tight, but he'grabhed at the rat with Ida mouth and caught him by the tall. The rat ran, leaving bla tall In Tom’s mouth. ’lll know you,” Tom called after him, "when I am out of thl* suit I will catch you and eat ypu," , - t The rat had not thought of that and he wondered what he should do, but he ws* a wise old fellotv, and when he reached home he Called all hi* brother* and Meters and cousins and aunt* about him. "I met a rat today." he eald, "who had been to the city where all of the style* are now, and he told me that all the city rats are having their tail* cut off. ao I had mine done.” "If you want to he In style," he told them, "you must have your talk) lljte mine." '* ■ J "Doe* It hurt?" asked one. "Not a bit," answered the *!y fel low, "and you have p» Idea how com fortable It Is running ab*Jiit without a tail to look after. And If you wish to be In style at a very low rate I will tak* off yotlr tall* for five piece* of cheese each." The bate *l] agreed and ran hVay to get the cheese, and while they were gone the wise rat ran for a chopping knife. Soon he had all the falls cut and a goodly stora of cheese. "Now," he said, to himself, "Tom will never know me from the other rata." He kept -his ejres open for Tom, who had called Ids friends to help him out of his suit, and told them to watch for a rat without a tall. But when they saw all the tailless rat* they gave up looking for the one who had put Tom Into the suit of leather, and Tom. not liking to hunt any too well, gave It Up also. “But the next time ( meet a rat,” said Tom, ”1 will eat him, no matter whether he has a tall or not.” * (Copyright, 1314, hy the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, New York City.) » Tomorrow's story, William’s Choice. the Aldrich-Vreeland act currency to enable the crop to be held will be sup plied and, meanwhile, the organiza tion of the regional hanking system goes forward steadily and rapidly. Five or six weeks must pasa before the time arrives for cotton to move In large volume. If the war be no; practically ended hy that time, it iR entirely probable that the seas will have been opened to trade. The prospect is not for a heavy crop. Soon or late, every bale will be needed. When the Kuns cease firing, tnere will be a tremendous ac tivity in the textile industry all over the world. The Southern growers will be able to hold their cotton; they will have the financial assistance they re quire, and there Is no reason for any other feeling than one of faith in the future in this part of the world.—Co lumbia State. Secretary Garrison expressed the belief today that the situation with respect to Americans abroad and tbe.r relief was Improving. He said advices had been received imV.cat lng that they were “getting over their panic, and he thought the situation would b 8 (handled satisfactorily. He considered the first duty of tne gov ernment to be to provide funds for those needing money, and he said this was being done under definite and practical arrangements. Mean while piling are being perfected for ocean transportation facilities for , bringing Americans home. Mr. Garrison said that no steamers had been chartered, but that he had had conferences today wltfli numerous e lipping agents and had reached an understanding with those with whom ho had talked that the government would not he charged more than equitable rates for anv steamer it might charter Tor European relief purposes. Mr. Garrison said that only one American coastwise company had submitted figures that seemed too high He declined to make public the name of the company. \ HIS INTERPRETATION. ‘"Father aays If you came tonight I mutt not eee you."

New York.—"We have more gold than any country In tho world—something like ft,500,000.- 000," Mr. Schlff said today. "We are not short of gold. 1 will tell you what we are short of: we are short of money to pay our debts,“ be added, with a touch of satire. "We wave the American flag and any wo want to help the world, hut we cannot pay our debts. We want to stand back. Do we dar" to do It? Go we dare to attract a stigma upon generations yet unborn? 'lt ts probable that congress may deny u* the legislation to en able banks to let the gold go. If that le so, wo must bow to t.ie law But we must not do It vol untarily. The old proverb that honesty Is the best policy" still bold* good." THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. Swagger -"indeed are • the new Dorr Hats.
