THE SOUTH SOLID BEHIND
COTTON.
, Nothin* finer lift* ever happened to
fho South than thla Buy-a-Bal* move
'invnt. Th* a«Hd Houth has put Itself
back of th* cotton alump and tha c«n-
Hcqucnc*) la that cotton cannot be
bought now for leaa tliau ten canta a
pound.
Tha aalf confidence of the South hue
spread. It la taking hold In other aac
tiona and the bualnaaa aan of the whole
tuition are Joining tha band to protect
this nation'* graateat product. Mont
gomery Ward and Comiamy of Fht
cagti are putting half a ntllHon of dol
lai'H into bale* of cotton. Armour and
t’ompany, aiao of Chicago. are In
structing their Southern branches —
tl er* are about four hundred In all— 1
to buy a bale of cotton at tan canta a
pound.
The Atlanta Jurunal comments that
"within one short week, cotton has
bean transformed front a beggar to a
i ondltion approaching Ita kingly state.
'Oils hopeful vantage ground must be
bald and extended. What the Huy-a-
Httlc campaign has accomplished thus
far ts meraly an omen of what It will
yet accomplish. If our people stand
true, and keep buying bale by bale ”
Notwithstanding the pleasure wo
take in arcing these enterprising
Was tern firms buying bales of cotton,
we hope that the Booth Itself will
continue to stand solidly back of Ita
cotton. We hope to see every little
town In the South with an organised
campaign for buying a bale It la a
good Investment Individually, but a
grand Investment In the spirit which
inakea a people great and strong It
la tha sort of thing out of which mir
acles of progress and development are
Wrought.
THE FREIGHT TAX PROBLEM.
We are promised a battle royal In
congress over the war tax bill. When
ever tiler., are evidences of a deter
mined and Impassioned fight In con
gress tt Is well to eXßmtne carefully
to discover ts special privilege Is In
volved. "Cherchei Iji Femme,” l.a
femme, with congress, being some par
ticular or general grafts. A light with
in democratic ranks Is ImmlnenL
ft Is claimed by those who favor
the three per cent tax on freight trans
portation charge# that President Wil
son ts prepared to uphold the provis
ion. but those who oppose It are ready
to stakeali on fhelr knowledge and ex
perience of the principles upon which
the president works.
The objection to the J per cent tax
on freight reels simply upon the point
that It la a burden that can be pushed
along. The consumer will, therefor'
be the one upon whom tt 'will bear
will* greatest weight and hardship.
Whenever a tax is levied which la ans
ceptible of being passed along an In*
citation la at Ilia same time Issued to
impose an extra burden upon the next
man who carries It This Is the most
hideous feature of the protective tar
iff and thla creates th* crying need
for correcting the tariff evils.
It Is not In accord with the prln- i
Clplea of the democratic party to ere
ate a war tax that will work on the
aame iniquitous principles which th*
protective fallacy baa been found to
work on.
We Cannot believe that the president,
who has been ao alert and dear-eight
«*d tn guarding general Interests
against special Interest*, la likely tn
fall In with those who are urging the
3 per cent freight tax A stamp tax Is
definite. It be* n* and ends within
sight of tb# naked eye and it cannot
be used aa an excuse for adding on
prices all down th* Hue. The demo- I
cratlc party deplore* the necessity for
any additional tax, but tbs necessity
la at hand The next Question before
It Is simply to find a means for iep
Isct.tir monev that cannot be turned
Into an excuse for Injustice and extor- 1
tlon.
Hevolt against the proposed S per :
cent tax on freight transportation I
grows as tha undersiandlng of its sue
feptlbWty to abuse becomes clearer
The stamp tax la the best answer)
yet offered to the question of how to !
flop the tax burden from hearing j
hardest or • fie man least able to atan t j
up under tt. I

MR. FOX AND MR. WOLF.
(>ne day Mr. Fox aat by the door of
his cave thinking llnw good hia sup
per of tender goose he had caught the
night before would lasts, when he aaw
Mr. Wolf coming over the hill.
"I believe 1 will ask him to supper
tonight,” he said. “I have plenty and
to spar*, and It will be nice to have
company.
"Mr. Wolf,” he called, running to
the bottom of the hill. "Come and
have supper with me 1 have a splen
did fat lieu and a goose.”
"The doctor had told me not to eat
anything but young lambs," replied
Mr Wolf, "but I cannot refuse your
charming company, ao 1 will be on
bn ml.”
Mr, Fox was ao flattered by what
Mr Wolf had said that he wished he
had a nice lamb for his guest, ao he
atole out after dark and went to the
nearest farm to try and find a stray
lamb.
He nearly got caught, but he brought
back the lamb, and when Mr. Woll
arrived he placed it before him
Mr. Wolf at* the lamb and finished
the goose before he slopped to speak
a word to bla host.
"You certainly aet a fin* table,” ho
iV £JL wkw
•eld at last, "and now If you do not
mind I think I will take n nap. for I
feel sleepy enough after ao heavy a
meal.”
Bo saying. ,h# laid himself down In
Mr. Fox'* partlclilar corner and went
to Bleep, leaving Mr. Fox to finish hl»
supper alone.
‘‘He la a greedy fellow," h* said, ><*
| he looked at Mr. Wolf sleeping in bis
I warm bed; h* ate all the goose, h»-
! sides hts lamb, and I only had the hen.
j 1 wonder If he la going to stay all
I nightT”
Mr Wolf did stay all night #nd he
1 stayed to breakfast the next morning,
too, and ate til* last morsel of food
that Mr. hV'x had In the hoime
"He'll surely go before dinner,
thought Mr Fox. but when dinner time
cant* Mr. Wolf was still there "What
have you got for my dinner?” ho
asked.
"You ale all I had for your break
fast," replied Mr. Fox.
"Well, go out and get me eomethlng
then." *Hld Mr. Wolf, looking very
hard at Mr. Fog.
Of conra* he was larger than Mr.
Fox and Mr. Fox did not dare dla
i Oho
At last Sir Wolf had been there
Ihiee day*, and bad made Mr KVx
hflng him lamb apd plga at the risk j
of Mr Fox'# life Mr. kVx began ho
use bis wit*, and you know that he is
a sly fellow full of Ideas when he needs j
them,
I know 1 where there la plenty of,
meat to be had," said Mr, Fox one!
morning "It i* sfored in the cellar!
of vw« farmhouse over the hllL but 1
am ao email I can carry but on# piece
at a time. Now. if you w:sh to com* j
with me we can bring away more aid!
then you can eat all you want while
you are there."
Thla plan soiled Mr. Wolf, aa he had j
never had all he wanted to eat at on*
time In his life.
When they reached the cellar Mr.
Wolf fell upon the meat ami ate and
INDOOR SPORTS
ate, but Mr. Fox kept a sharp lookout
that no o, le was coming and he ate
very little,
"You must hurry and eat all you
can," said Mr. Fox, "for aome one may
come at any moment and we will have
to run."
8o Mr. Wolf went on eating faster
than ever. Pretty soon a noise was
beard, and Mr. Fox jumped toward the
hole through which he entered the
collar, and wns soon outside, but Mr.
Wolf had eaten so much that he could
not Jump up to the hole and he fell,
rolling over on Ids back.
By this time the farmer and hi*
men had come Into the cellar, and
soon Mr, Wolf was no more.
"That has taught me a lesson I will
not soon forget," said Mr. Fox, on the
way home. "The noyt time I Invite a
guest to my home I’ll be sure he Is not
a glut ion. and will appreciate a good
supper without Imposing upon my
generosity.”

THE LITTLE FAWN.
(By Virginia Vale).
Once upon a time there was a deer
and a young fawn. A fawn is a baby
deer and needs a great deal of care
from its mother deer. They had been
caught in the woods and brought to u
nice home ln a green field.
The field had a high hedge all
around it and several large trees for
shade so that It made them a nice
safe home. They had plenty of water
and all kinds of nice things given
them to eat.
Mother deer was very glad to live
here but the little fawn was always
wanting to see what was on the other
side of the hedge and told her mother
that some day she was going to jump
over and go away.
Her mother said: "If you go out
side you will find everything very
different, for there are lots of things
that look goot to eat, but will make
you sick if you eat them
“Hogs and men will chase you and
harm-you if they catch you for they
think you are a wild and not a tame
deer."
"1 don’t care, I can take care of
myself.” said the little fawn.
The next morning while the deer
was getting ready to take her bath in
the pond the little fawn found a weak
place In the hedge and jumped
through out into the road. She ran
along ns happy as could be until out
from a yard ran a big dog barking
and running toward her.
Poor fawn how faet her little heart
beat and how she ran to get away.
She ran toward the wood and hid
behind a bush. The leaves were
green and tender and as she was tired
and hungry she began to nibble at
them.
Oh, how nice they were. She had
never eaten anything that tasted ao
good and she ate until all at once she
began to feel sick and wished her
mother was thers.
She began to think that the world
waa not a very nice place and guess
ed she would walk back to her home.
As she started she remembered the
You Can’t Drive Pros

croakers croak. But the tide of Amer
ican prosperity that is rising each hour will
sweep them all off their feet.
Europe has laid the world’s industries in
America's lap. The sooner our manufactur
ers. capitalists, merchants and workers wake up
—the better. We can’t stop demand if we try

delay wme of our profits.

dog that had chased her. What should
she do, for she couldn’t rutvshe was
so sick.
Just then she heard the dog bark
and as she looked out from the bush
she saw her mother running toward
the dog with her head down.
When the dog saw she was not
afraid he ran toward the house and
the foolish fawn ran out to meet her
mother. When her mother saw who
it was she stood still until she came
up to her and then she began to scold
as hard as she could.
The little fawn told her she was
sick and ready to go home and never
wanted to go away again if she would
forgive her. So they trotted away to
gether toward their home.
