BLLLING CREDITS AND WHEAT, i This gu\ t l ament s position that It would be a violation ot neutrality to 1 ICKUIOC aii> country's warfare is »n advanced step in the construction of international obligations, which to tnan.v minds is puzsiing. Collier's Weekly, f«*r instance, naya that it is jui more a violation of neutrality to evil credits than to sell wheat, but tin analogy la not a true one. There in a vast deal of di tier cnee be tw ecu providing the means o! life to a nation and providing it with the means of deuliitg di.tiii to a fellow nation. iTeoedents cannot guide us in’ the present instance, for never before has tin* nation bt*«-n an onlooker upon nucli a general strife. When Ihu Hus* signs ami Japanese wire at war, war funds wore supplied to Japan in tills country, whilo the Hussians raises money in various European countries. Chances for securing outside help in ail former cages have been about eifual but in thia war there Is such a net work of international ties and obliga tion* that the whole world Is like a tinder boa and to supply the smew a of war to one country is obviously an act of partiality since It would be im~ possible to suppt.v all without discrim ination President Wilson and the secretary of gtate have, as usual, pierced to the principle of neutrality aud let the pre cedents alone. Thia ta a little way of theirs, which aggravates the literal minded not a little, but It eeema to work out in the long run with admir able success Koine of the European powers have already been sounding American bank- j era to aee If they could call upon them | *to replenish Uieir war funds.

This is a collateral line of reasoning that brings ua out tar away from the matter of keeping the faith of nvuirul tty and dtnsttnctiy In the line of a shrewd outlook for our own Interests, but It does not alter the fact that money loans cannot be given trotn this counliy to finance competitive man slaughtai in Europe without iwrtlaltty and discrimination, nor without en courage Ig and prolonging the present horrors.

This Incomlnff supply of cotton Roods shut down like a vice with the beginning of war That means that in America, alone, there Is a cotton Roods vacuum, not counting the ordi nary supply of from thirty-five to forty million dollars waiting to lie filled, that England and Europe can not till and that American mills should fill All of this preliminary to the state liased on business reasoning and not on theoretic appeal, that— The time Is come when the cotton mills of America should come Into the market, buy raw cotton and seise upon the opportunities literally I thrusting; get them, , Not only Is Europe cut off from this country, but the millions of dollnrs worth of cotton goods with which It I has heretofore supplied South Am erica and the Orient should now he supplied by the mills of this country. The situation and the opportunity comprise a call to the American mills t o Set their wheels going, full time and 'overtime! If they do not stand squarely up to this open door now, they are likely never again to have i the sume chance! The American mills should come at once Into the market and buy cottonl In the first place, th* known and established domestic demand for cot ton goods, will run the American mills tor months. Add to that the Increased domestic demand liecauae of suspend ed Kuropean Imports That means further months of fulltime activity. Without shipping a yard of cotton goods from beyond American borders.

It Is a matter of business, and business ts_neces sarily calculating. It Is human nature to want to buy as low as you can and sell as high as you van the “other fellow" regard less. Cotton ndll men are only human — so we appeal to the human side. Cotton isn't going any lower If there Is any change, it Is going to be upward, and that goon. Why? because demand Is the most Irre sistible master in the business world. Demand for cotton goods Is already increasing. It grows keener every day. That Is speaking of American needs only. In a few months, they will be clamoring for cotton goods, not only In this country, but In South America and the Orient.

BILLY PIG GOES One day Bflly Pig was walking the road ami he met Mr. Dog. "Good morning, Mr, Dog!” said Billy Pig, tipping his hat in the most respectful manner, for he thought Mr. Dog a very wise animal. "Where are you going?” asked Mr. Dog." If you have nothing better to do, Billy Pig, come with me into the woods; I am going a hunting.” Billy Pig trotted along, very proud that Mr. Hog should invite him to accompany him. "First, we will go to a woodchuck hole I know of," said Mr. Dog, and see If I can drive him out. Mr. Dog found the hole where the ■ oodchuck lived and went to it and t*gan to bark. Pretty soon Billy Pig ci uld hear the wodoelmek Inside and Mr D..g told him this was the time to prove if he was a good hunter. "You stand here," he told Billy Pig, while 1 bark at the other end of his house.” "But what am r to do?” asked Billy Pig. not feeling as interested in the sport ns Mr. Dog appeared to be. "You are to keep very quiet, and If rfwVyi r 4V r jr/t’ rocs eras* I a***£*£ aa J he comes out where you are standing you hold him until I can get aroun-J there.” Billy Pig stood where Mr. Dog told him—right In front of the hole, ani looked very Intently to see Jf the woodchuck showed his head. Mr. Dog at the other hole was bark ing and poking in Ills head as far as he could, when suddenly without an:' warning Billy Pig felt something strike him full in the face and ovur he rolled; then he saw Mr. Dog fly, It seemed to him, right over him anJ barking In the most awful manner. When Billy Pig picked himself up Mr. Dog was nowhere to be seen, guess he got scared," said Billy Pig, “and 1 always thought Mr. Dog was a brave fellow. 1 will show him how to catch that woodchuck all alone and have the laugh on Mr. Dog.” Bifly Ikg poked his nose in the hole, but he could see nothing. "I will try the other hole,” salt! Billy, “that may be larger." And so It was, for Mr. Dos had dug away the earth each time he poked In hi* head, so that Billy Pig found quite an opening at the other door of the woodchuck's house. Indeed he found room enough for almost the whole of his body and he could see quite well that there was no one at home* hut when he tried lo get out It was quite another thing. He was stuck fast in the hole and h< could neither in or get out 8u he squealed and squealed hut no one came and Billy Rig had about given up all hope of ever getting hy* head out when something came in at the other end of the hole and Billy Pig got a sharp scratch on hie nose and then another and his fat's smarted with pain. He squealed and he kicked his hind Irks and sudenly he found himself on the ground rolling down the aide of the hill. When he got up he saw Mr Dig coming toward him on the run "Where did you go?" asked Billy Pig. Were you afraid?” But Mr. Do* did not stop to reply He made straight lor the wedtbucks hole again, barklna and Jumping about in tile most undifwilfied manner, Billy Pig thought. Then he noticed Mr. Dog's master standing at the other door of the woodchuck's house, where Mr. Dog had stationed him. and the next thing Billy Pig knew —‘bang, bang." went the gun which Mr. Dog's master car ried and he saw Mr. Dog dance around In the most foolish way* at his mas ter's feet. Billy Ptg watched Mr. Dog as he trottedaway . ‘He is not as smart o’- as brave as I thought he was,’’ said Billy Pig. 'He had to get his master to catch that wodchuck for him, and I am sure ts he had been in his house I would have caught him all alone, it Is not always the ones that look brave that are the bravest—that Is pluin to be seen.” Copyright 1914, by the McClure News paper Syndicate, New York City.

Once upon a time a little boy nam ed Harry lived near the seashore and In the summer he went there nearly every week with his mother One day an old fisherman asked him If he would Hke to go out with him In his boat fishing. Of course he did want to go and his mother told him that he could, as she knew that the fisherman was very careful, and would take good care of him. They sailed away with Harry's | mother waving good bye. Very soon It began to be quite rough and the boat began to toss about and Harry could hardly stand on his fret. The fisherman gave him a line and some bait and Harry threw out the line and waited for a bite. All at once he felt something tug at the line and he began to pull. Up It came, a big codfish. 'How* proud he was of it and he put it in a basket to take home to hls mother. Soon the boat began to rock and the waves grew- high and Harry grew quite sick and had to lie down Oh, how sick he was. He had never been so sick tir all Ills life and he would have given everything he ever pos sessed to have been out of the boat and home 'n h's own little bed. At last he fell asleep and when kt woke up, he found that he wrs better and even hungry They were sailln : toward home and the wind had gone down, to the water was very smooth. Harry went on deck and saw that the men had caught a great many fish while he had been sleeping and were getting some of them ready to cook for supper When supper was ready they all ant down and Mary ate more fish than any of the others and said he had never been to hungry before. When they reached the shore Har ry carried hla flsh home, and hi» mother cooked It for their dinner the next day, but Harry never forgot hi* first fishing trip.
