You find no pessimists In the ranka,

The European war has become a

were hurled. Sedan, an ancient forti
fied town. Is alltiHled on the Meuse and
Is surrounded by hills of considerable
height.
After fighting from daylight unto
darkness on September first, the French
were driven In from the outlying vil
lages arid crowded pell-mell into this
narrow space where they were packed
and Jammed until maneuvering waa im
possible. Men, cannon, horses and ve
hicles were a chaotic mass of confu
sion. Overlooking the town, the Ger

The King of Prussia was there, and
with the Crown Prince Btsmark ami Von
Motke and standing on one of the
heights, gazed on the scene below. To
add 10 the horrors of the situation, fire
broke out In the town, and the devoted
mass of humanity had tne destroying
element to contend with as well as the
fiercest of locs on the outside.
It was not known to Hie Germans that
the hapless French Emperor was with

When the situation In the town of Se

for human existence longer, and a cry
for mercy had gone forth, an officer
with a flag of truce stepped up to the
king of Prussia and said:
"You Royid Majesty, Sedan capitulates

MARK TWAIN ON PEACE.
(From “Mark Train; a Biography,"
hy Albert Bigelow Paine.)
There are no peaceful nations now
All Christendom is a soldier camp.
The poor have been taxed in some
nations to the starvation point to
support the giant armaments which
Christian governments have built up,
each to protect Itself from the rest
of the Christian brotherhood, and in
cidentally to snatch any scrap of real
estate left exposed by a weaker owner.
* * * Within the last generation
each Christian power has turned the
bulk of Its attention to finding out
newer and still newer and more and
more effective ways of killing Chris
tians and, incidentally, a pagan now
and then; and the surest way to get
rich quickly In Christ's kingdom Is to
invent a kind of a gun that ran kill
more Christians at one shot than other
existing kinds. All the Christian na
tions era at it. The more advanced
they are the hlgger and more destruc
tive engines of war they create,
THE BRITISH MARCH SONG.
“It's a Long Way to Tipperary," has
become the marching song of the Brit
ish army. It runs thus:
Up to the mighty London came an
Irishman one day.
As the streets are pav’d with gold,
sure ev'ryone was gay;
Singing songs of Piccadilly, Strand
and Leicester Square,
Till Paddy got excited, then he shout
ed to them there:
Chorus.
It’s s long way to Tipperary,
It's a long way to go;
Tl's s long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know.
Good-by, Piccadilly; farewell, Leices

But my heart’s right there.

WORK THE BEST INSURANCE.
(From Collier’s Weekly).
In England the war has brought
to poverty a large number of per ■
sons who were formerly well to
do. Their tragedy is the result
of a calamity that no one could
foresee. No parent can be cer
tain that his children may not
some day come to poverty. There
is no guarantee against It. The
best insuarnce is to teach them to
work. Probably the best asset
any youth can have is the ability
to cultivate the soil. That is the
most permanent and universal of
trades.
LINCOLN’S STEAMBOAT STORY.
One of Lincoln’s favorite stories
was about one of those old time
steamboats on the Mississippi which
had such small boilers that every
time they blew the whistle the boat
would stop.
Some merchants are like this boat.
They argue that they are running on
such a close margin that they couldn’t
possibly advertise unless they dis
charged a clerk or took out the tele
phone.
They look at advertising entirely
wrong. They count it an expense In
stead of an Investment. The up-to
date merchant knows that the more
he advertises the more clerks and
telephones he will need. And ho pays
the advertising bill about as easily as
the Lusitania blows its whistle.
FARMERS’ ATTENTION.
Put the Seed on Land.
(Memphis Commercial Appeal).
When a farmer cannot get more
than $12.00 a ton for his cottonseed
he will make more money by using tt
on his land as a fertiliser.
If the cotton oil men decide that
they will pay only $12.00 a ton, the
cotton grower should take his seed
rff the market and scatter it on the
land. The land, so enriched, next
year would enable this same cotton
farmer to grow a fine crop of com,
oats or some sort of grain that he
can either use himself or sell In a
market that is not controlled by the
buyers alone.
The linters from cotton see! may
command a small price this year, but
the oil which is used in cooking and
In making compound lard and for
other purposes ought to advance. If
there is to be a big demand for hog
lard there will be a corresponding
demand for compound.
Cottonseed cake later should be af
fected through an Increased demand.
GEORGIA WOMEN TO HELP.
Every plan to help dispose of the
cotton crop at a fair price deserves
strong encouragement. The move
ment fostered by Georgia women to
prevail on Southern housewives to
substitute cotton R’r other materials
wherever possible, the "buy a bale of
cotton" idea and similar plans are all
intended to Increase the demand for
the Staple and should be encouraged
on that account. The cotton farmer
is carrying a heavy burden and it is
to the interest of the whole South that
he be helped But after ail the cot
ton farmer htmself can do more than
anvbody else ot help the situation.
The help he can render la to agree to
cut hie cotton acreage one-half In
19IS.
