We can’t but think U’a had policy on the part of some of the tnllln to abut down for a month or no In the summer Fixed charges, salaries, de preclattcfh. etc,, go steadily on. while the mill la cloned down. As a rule, the only saving Is In the wage* paid to the hands —two pitiful payrolls. The amount of this saving Is <mall In the year’s business, but It means a whole lot to the mill worker. It means he must he Idle one month out of the year and use up what small saving he hae made In eleven months work to find himself and family In enforced Mime*?. in C4inr hr ban not mivM enough tn eleven months work In the mill to tide him over the month of enforced Idle ness. he must go In debt and mort gage his wages when the mill does start up. If the mills are going to shut down one month out of the twelve they ought to pay wages during the eleven months that will enable the operatives to support themselves during this month of enforced Idleness. Some years ago the Oranltevllle Mill adopt ed a policy something like this: When the mill shut down the operatives were given half pay while the mill was Idle. It la a good policy. An In dustry that igui't pay good wages and give steady employment all the year round isn't much htlp to a commun lly. Just now with the markets of the -world cut off from new supplies, with new trade and new markets open to this country, with the competition of English. French, German and Russian mills removed, there Is every reason why the cotton mills of this country Should be running on full time and with dav and night shifts. START UP THE MILLS. SUGGESTIONS FOR SAFELY STORING AND FINANCING THE COTTON CROP. Here Is ths practical plan proposed for safely storing and financing the cotton crop of the South this season. It applies to every town and village In ths South. It's worth your sitontion; First. Thst every town In the ootton section, through communi ty effort, rstebllsh warehouses adequate to safely store one-half of the crop normally marketed at such place, and that frame build - inns destKued for this purpose be covered with metal so ns to In crease protection end reduce In surance rates. Second That the cltlmena of a town establishing a warehouse, organise s warehouse company for the purpose of Issuing au thoritative receipts for stored cot ton. to be used ns a basis of credit with the local banka. Third. That Ihe local hanks make liberal advances on cotton so aimed and protected, and use their national bank correspond ents freely for re-dlacounte—thus malting It possible to limit offer ings 10 commercial demand. It le manifestly Impossible, even though the means wer# Immediately available, to construct elaborate and permanent brick warehouses In urns to meet the present emergency, but this limitation only accentuates ths necessity for utilising avery possible resource, and frame structures prop erly protected by metal covering could probably he mede to provide temporary relief Moreover, many localities would doubtless find It prac ticable to convert large buildings Into storage space, and It la believed pos sible. with prompt and energetic action, to provide storage facilities of the character Indicated In time to pre vent a serious decline In Ihe price of cotton This Is a mailer thst concerns every cltlsen pf the South, and efforts to provide the necessary means for pro tecting our great staple should find a ready response from all classes without regard to vocation.

It might as well be admitted frankly that the nweapaper Is a personality rather than a common carrier of news: In fact, that It cannot be a common carrier of news because it would be swamped with Its freight. All that can he expected of It is that it report the news honestly as a person of a certain altitude and viewpoint might a pervasive and extended person, but still a person. War May Benefit South The European wsr news has brought considerable optimism Into the Rtr* mlngham district in regard to pig Iron market conditions. Iron makers here are practically unanimous that noth ing could have happened better for the American pig Iron market than the European war. It Is pointed out first that all dan ger of imports under the Underwood tariff Is eliminated for the Immediate future and probably for years to come. It develops that local Iron men had felt considerably apprehensive of the possible effeet of competition between local pig Iron and Iron Imported ns ballast In ships and earning In under the low tariff. All danger of this competition they now consider gone, at least for the present and they, therefore, regard the home situation In Itself as holding a very much bet ter prospect for the future.

This conception of the newspaper may be verified In the experlenoa of any reader. The world aeen by the New York Evening Journal Is essen tially different from the world seen by thh New York Evening Post. The difference between these two worlds is the difference between two person alities that see them. One newspaper personality may be cynical, clever, frivolous; another coarse-grained, flashy, bluffing, with all the attributes of a confidence man; another sober, sedate, cultured, conservative; another breesy, entertaining, radical, delight ing In new things. The new* reports as well as the cdtlorials of any news paper will be determined In large measure by the sort of personality that It has developed. JUSTICE.

It Is claimed by furnace makers that the enormous wreckage and waste following In the wake of the armies will not only de stroy forts, bridges, factories, etc., which will have to he rebuilt, but that the very Iron Industry itself of the Kuropean countries will be par alyzed for a long time.

HOW BILLY PIG KEPT HOUSE. One morning Hilly Pig’s mother told him she wars going to market. "I shali not be home until supper time,” she said. “You can rake up the leaves and make the yard tidy, and fill the woodbox and bring a pall of water from the spring. "Put the new potatoes on to boil, for I am going to have soup for supper, and don’t you dare drink the pan of milk dn the shelf in the pantry." Billy Pig smiled as he thought of the nice, long day he should have. "I can do that little work in a short time,” he said, as he watched his mother go down the road. 8941 C 'Xf.Siu] < <*o*r Billy Pig satby the window until almqst diner time, and just a* he got out of his chair he saw Billy Goat coming down the road. “Oh, oh!" thought Billy Pig *1 will have gome fun with you, my fine fel low.” Billy Pig ran behind the door and took his mother's apron from the hook and put it on, then he took her shawl and put that around his shoulders. He put her cap on his head and put on her spectocles and, taking her knit ting the window sill, sat» down in her chair and began to knit, or pretend to. When Billy Goat reached the house he said: “How do you do. Madam Pig," for he saw the top of Madame Pig's cap and supposed that she was there. Billy Pig nodded, and said as near like his mother as he could, "Won't you come in. Billy Goat?” Billy Goat accepted the Invitation for he was very fond of Madam Plg'e cooking. "Sit down." said Billy Pig. bending lower over hie knitting Billy Goat took a seat and looked around to see If Billy Pig was anywhere-in sight. Billy Pig chuckled to think he was fooling Billy Goat, and that was his undoing, for Billy Goat saw him and he began to watch Madam Pig knit. ‘•You knit alowly today," he re marked, and/then he noticed that she w»e not knitting, but Just pretending to. •That Is not Madam Pig at all; It Is Billy Pig. Madam Pig has gone to market and left him to keep house," he thought “Isn't It about dinner time?" he asked “Yes" replied Billy Pig. hoping that Billy Goat would go. for he was not having the fun he expected. "And If you meet my son I hope you will try to be nice to him; you are always trying to get him Into mischief, and l do Ant like It ." "If 1 meet him. Madam Pig." re plied Billy Goat, “I will tell ht.n that he has a nice mother, and that he should try to he more like her. Then I shall no doubt give him a good but ting with iny horns." and he held his head down In a most threatening man ner. "But I do not think I will bother to go home for my dinner. I will take a peek Into your pantry and see what you have for Billy Pig's dinner. He Is not here, and I may as wettest It." Billy Goat ate all he wanted, which was all of Billy Pig’s dinner, then he filled his pockets with oookles and drank some of the milk In the pan, which Billy Pig’s mother had told him not to touch. “Thak you for my dinner. Madam Pig,” said Billy Goat, as he went out, “and if I meet Billy Pig I will tell him what I think of him. He should be ashamed not to come home to such a nice dinner as you had for him.” When Billy Goat was out of eight Billy Pig took off his mother's clothes and ran into the pantry. He was so hungry that he had to eat somecook les and drink more of the m4lk, so that there was not enough to make the soup his mother had planned to have for supper. When his mother returned she was very angry. "Go outin the yard and cut me a switch," she told Billy Pig, Billy Pig began to cry and told his mother all about Billy Goat "I shall whip you just the same," said his mother. "You would not have got ip to trouble If you had not put off your work." Copyright 1914, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, New York City. Sleepytibe ipTAljif THE ROSE FAIRY’S DANCE. (By Virginia Vale.) Once upon a time the Rose Fairy thought she ought to give a dance. So she sent out the invitations for next tveek. They were written on her very best roseleaf paper and the Golden Bumble Bee car ried them to her friends. It was to be given in the rose garden and the fairies were busy sail day gathering rose leaves and spreading them on the grass, and the crickets said they would give a concern before they started £o dance. The fire flies were to bring all their friends so there, would be plenty of light and every one said it was going to be the dance of the season. The Golden Bumble Bee kept buzzing around helping all he could and going on errands sos them. The Rose Fairy received her guests on a raised platform cov ered with roses and In a silver and rose dress the spider had made for her How they all danc ed -and laughed and sang until nearly midnight, then they went to supper In an arbor covered with all kinds or roses. There was honey, sugared rose petals, rose wafers and lots of other nice things all served on a cool green leaf. After they had eaten th«y all walked through the garden and tl\e Fairy showed them her prize rose tree, and gave them each a hloasom. When It was time to go home they all danced the dance of the roses and said good night. Every one said they had enjoy ed the evening very much and the Rose went to her bed of roses tired but very happy because all her friends had enjoyed her dance.
