gest Auguste hns ever had. More

attention to poultry and livestock, end

to secure speakers and lecturers anil
greatly Increased exhibits and to make
the fall falra this year a real educa
tional feature. Ml the state agricul
tural colleges should use the fall fairs
throughout the Roulh as a part of
tbeir extenalon work, and should have
a staff of lecturers to dlscusa agri
cultural and farming problem! as
they have developed In the Rnuth and
to make practical demonstrations to
the farmers of this section.
There never was a time when the
fall falra could do a better work for
the farmers of the South
Every effort is being made l» make

BETTER TIMES IN GEORGIA.
One cannot read the papers these

better times are fast appearing
throughout Georgia and the South.
Evidence la piling up that the farm

than ever before
Day by day the “Buy-a-Rale*' move

South to help the Smith hold Its cot

I paid him up /or all the things he
1 has said and done to me for a while

Off ran Billy Goat to the barn, while
Hilly Hg, all unconscious of what wiw
1 to happen to him, trotted on to th»!
i chestnut tree in the woods.
Billy Goat brought out of the ban;
the buffalo robe and when he reachec

Billy l"ig had his basket about half
filled with rhcHtnut.* when he sudden-j
ly stopped and listened "Was that a
growl?" lie asked himself
lie listened. "Yes, that surely was
n growl" And then he saw a head
that made him tremble. It was black
wolf. Pllly I’lg was too frightened to
run. so he stood quite still ami watch
ed black wolf coming slowly toward
him.
' Woof, woof," growled Billy Boat
under hie dlaguJse *'! understand you

Billy i lout lately. You have said
things that wetc not true about him
and you would not give him any of

you for some."
Billy Pig tiled to run, but his legs
refused lo go, for he was so frlghtenel,
and then. Billy Goat's command to
' Htnp!" brought him to a standstill
Billy Goat shook with laughter un
der hia fur covering, but Billy Pig
thought he was shaking with anger
and he trembled so he had to ait down
"There ts Just one way 1 can think
of that will give you another chance,"
said Billy Goat. "You have some very
fine chestnuts there and 1 know that
Billy Goat would like some, hut It lx
hard for him lo pick them up. Now.
If you will fill that basket and give
them all lo him 1 will give you another

"Oh! I will give him the chestnuts.
Mr. Wolf " said Hilly Pig. Jumping up
and gathering the nuta as fast as h*
could. "I will give him this basket as
full as I can carry It and I won't tell
any more wrong stories about him,
either.
Billy Pig worked fast and soon the
bashet was filled: then he took It on
his arm atid started down the road.
There was Billy Goat Just as black
wolf had said >
"I am glad you are safe," he sail
as Hilly Pig came up to him. "I saw
old black wolf go past here a little
w htte ago slid he asked me w here yon

"Yes be chatted with tile a while."
said Billy Pis 'lie sahl he was busy
Gita morning and vnan in a hurry. I

American Tobacco Co.'s "Buy-a-
Bals" Offer Helps Merchante
in Southern States.
New York. The American To
bacco Company is to lend Its pow
erful support to making the "buy
a-bale-of-cotton” idea a success.
The plan ovolved hy the
company will greatly’ help the cot
ton situation in the South, while
at the same time stimulating trade
through the Southern states and
so establishing confidence in the
South's continued prosperity.
In a letter sent to Its customers,
I’erclval S. Hill, president of the
American Tobacco Company’,
makes the following offgr: "We
will purchase at 10 cents a pound
ns many pounds of good middling
cotton from each of our cuatomers
In the above named states, as the
aggregate number of pounds of
Bed J. and Penn’s Natural Deaf
plug tobaccos. Bull Durham and
Tuxedo smoking tobaccos, and
Sovereign Cigarettes (counting
each thousand of Sovereign Clgor
ettea as equal to five pound* of
tobacco), shipped direct to such
consumer from September 29th,
19t4, to November SO, 1914."
This letter was sent to dealers

Georgia, Lontslana. Mississippi,
North Carolina, Oklahoma, Routh

that the beneficial effects of this
plan will he far-reaching.
Mr. Hill gave out the following
statement: “It la our plan to ren
der uniform help to our cuato

make this cotton-buying offer
have such large sale throughout
these sections, that we estimate
10.000 bales of cotton can he

plan. By offering to buy cotton
from Its Southern customers the
company feels It I* rendering a
service to the territory which
deals largely with It. and la also
making a sound financial Invest -

THE PROBLEM OF BAGGING
By M. C. PETERS.
President M. C. Peters Mill Co.
Practically all of the Jute in the
world is grown in India. Large quan
tities of this jute are imported by
various countries for the manufacture
of cloth known as burlap and for
twines, mixtures with other fibres, and
various other purposes. The protec
tive tariff built up very few burlap
cloth manufactories in America, one
or two minor industries on the east
coast making special fabrics which,
perhaps, prospered to some extent, but
the major part of the burlap cloth
lyanufactured in this country has been
produced hy the penitentiaries at San
Quentin, Cal., and Walla Walla, Wash.
These penitentiaries Import the Jute
and manufacture cloth for wheat hags,
used hy furmers on the west coast.
These wheat bags are of heavy texture
and quite expensive and they are re
quired on the w est coast because ves
sels carrying grain around the Cape
fear that bulk grain will list too much,
and are forced to have all grains loaded
in sacks for safe carrying.
Because of the fact that there are
no looms in this country suited to
spinning coarse Jute fibre into cloth
for hag purposes, it la necessary for
all manufacturers of bags to import
the bulk of their burlap cloth from
India.
• « •
It is quite impossible to weave cot
ton as coarse as burlap and produce
any substitute for burlap at a fair
proportionate cost. In the first place
the mills of this country are not
equipped to spin the yarns, as no con
dition has heretofore arisen In tha
value of burlap making it possible for
cotton cloth to absolutely substitute
In all places, but we are confronted
today with another peculiar situation
so far as cotton Is concerned.
In accordance with the past ship
ments, It was expected that Germany
this year would Import at least 4,000,-
000 balas of staple cotton produced In
our Southern stales. The exportation
of any cotton goods from our Southern
ports to Uerman or Austria Is very
Improbable this season, and a commit
tee of the New York Cotton Exchange
has been actively working, not only
lo liquidate the contracts between cot
ton brokers and the allied Interests,
hut also to open new fields of credit
for the relief of local hanks in the
South. In fact, one of the suggestions
advanced is that arrangements be
made with the federal reserve board,
hy which banking members may use
cotton vvarehoust receipts as collat
eral whereby the value of cotton may
officially be recognized, at least as
high as 8 cents, in order that the
Southern planter may not lose too
heavily. > It ts figured that the actual
cost of producing cotton Is at least
tO cents per pound, and If the price
goes much below this figure the hard
ship upon the Booth will be very seri
ous.
• • •
This brings us to the point of In
quiry Vs to the ability of the South to
turn a large surplus of cotton into *
The Means to the End
“Advertising is nothing in itself. It is only a
means to an end—IMPROVED BUSINESS.”
“Business is nothing in itself, only a means to an
end—immediate LIVING.”
These two sentences from a recent address of
Joseph H. Appel tell the whole story.
Advertising is the great necessity of improved
living—and newspaper advertising is the mightiest,
most mobile battalion in the whole advertising
army.
1 he man who intelligently utilizes newspaper ad
vertising is on the road to improved business and im
proved living. /
fabric which will make a reasonable
substitute for burlap to be used par
ticularly in the milling and allied
trades.
The great bulk of cloth used in the
manutacture ot bags for commercial
purposes is, generally speakiug, forty
incites wide, anu a large number at
Southern mills are equipped witn
looms to make forty-inen clout. Not
all of these looms will produce cloth
mat is periectly satisfactory and
strong enough substitute lor tne hard
service required for bag purposes, but
unquestionably millions ot yarus of
cotton goods can be used this winter
if the consumer thoroughly realizes
that a prime necessity exists, not only
because the cost will be less to the
consumer, but because of tne general
advantages derived from the substitu
tion of our surplus cotton tor tnt jute
heretofore purchased in India.
The attention of all consumers to
the great advantages to be derived in
this country from tne production and
consumption of our own raw materials
instead of the importation of materials
produced by other countries will in
itself more than relieve all the finan
cial tenseness which may exist in va
rious parts of our country. In Nebras
ka, for instance, t.he South is our
steady patron for our agricultural
products, and we should assist the
South in every way possible in the
marketing of its cotton and its sugar,
and this point of using cotton goods
as a substitute for burlap will he a
relief not only to the South, but event
ually to the consumer, who necessari
ly must pay for the container which
carries tht products of various manu
facturing industries.
• * *
Our suggestion for the genera] re
lief of the situation Is for the gov
ernment to determine how quickly tha
Southern cotton mills can turn their
cotton staple into cloth which may
be substituted for imported burlap and
also to immediately investigate the
transportation question for the deliv
ery to this country of the many lines
of burlap cloth for w-hich our cotton
mills cannot produce a substitute.
A MAN OF PEACE.
At a time like the present when the
nations of Europe are rushing at each
other's throats, and humanity stands
aghast at the thougftt of the horrors
of "the impending conflict, w hen the
spirit of militarism pervades the Old
World, and the pow’ers are deter-
I mined upon slaughter, it is fortunate
for the United States that there is at
jthe head of the national government
i a man of peace with strength of char
acter and force of Intellect. Happily,
no Imitation war lord sit* |,i the
White House. The course which this
country must follow is straight and
definite. It must maintain strict neu
trality. and avoid the slightest ap
pearance of Tavor toward one cf the
belligerents as against another. It Is
the friend of each and all of them and
must so remain.—The Watervllle
