PRAYERS FOR PEACE.
The president of the United States
has appointed next Sunday as the day
for American citizens to gather to
gether and lift their souls to the High
est Power In appeals for peace In
the world.
The spirit In which we ask for
peace Is Important. We cannot carry
our opinions and partialities before
the Almighty, for that Is presumption
and sacrilege. In America we are
supposed to he striving for neutrality.
Kauh citizen has been asked to do hla
work for avoidance of strife by re
straining his opinions and withhold
ing an expression of his judgments.
"America First” Is ths slogan and
If, we are to think first of the safety
and welfare of our own people, we
must keep a grip upon our opinions
and avoid making hard feeling be
tween ourselves. Our own people are
divided by racial and national heri
tages In their sympathies and the
blood rises quickly In defence of Its
kindred,
We cannot ask God to lake sides In
this war because we know that strife
and manslaughter belong to a domain
that Is not of God. Neither can those
of French and German extraction sit
■lda by side In ths some tempts end
beg their common Father to mete out
Justice according to the way each
narrow and Imperfect vision sees It.
If our prayers are to he prayers, and
not blasphemies, they must. In truth
be offerings to the Father above all
.We need take no thought of what our
words shall be, If me can but gather
together and offer to Ood hearts that
know and realize the brotherhood of
all humanity.
Fbr oil who are eo bravely bearing
the sufferings and horrors of war our
sympathies readily go out. We realize
that each soldier and each leader be
lieves his cause to be worth Its stu
pendous and ghastly cost. We need
trouble ourselves with no thought of
who Is responslhls and who Is to
blame. Our Impelling duty Is to make
our own hearts clean of antagonisms
and enmities and offer them to the
Great Spirit of Love with a, call for
help, that our suffering brothers may
soon see an end to this woe

THE WATERMELON'S STRIPES.
The stars were very bright, but the
moon hud not shown his face, when
the goblins crept from their musn
covered rocks one night, bent upon
mischief. They capered through the
woods cut Into the roads and Into the
fields.
"The watermelon patch,” called out
one. "Let us go there and change all
the melons Into pigs, and then ride on
their hacks around the woods until
morning."
"We do not want green pigs,” said
another. “Let us paint them white.
Waterin'lons are of no use to us, and
1 think it would he great sport to
have them all pigs."
Away scampered the goblins to get
their paint pots end brushes, and then
A’W.V -4MZ4V 4S AS TMf V (Tv// J
Into the melon patch they went, and
In a few minutes they were all busily
at work.
When they finished a melon It look
ed like a huge snowball and the moon
looking down just then nearly fell out
of the sky with surprise when he be
held what he thought was a snowball
lying on the ground In the summer.
No the moon found the fairy queen
and told her the goblins were paint
ing nil the melons while. Intending
to turn them Into pigs Inter and ride
them through the woods.
"1 will slop that," she said, nnd call
ing all her fairies she told them to
put on their green coats and hoods
and hide their wands Sunder their
arms.
"Now you must fly- very swiftly,”
she said, "until you come close to
"Communiques”
Each day we have eagerly scanned the all too
brief “Communiques” of the French war office.
Their few words have been pregnant with meaning,
telling portentous histoiy in tabloid form.
Just as forceful and far more important to our
individual lives are the "Communiques” of Peace
which appear each day in our advertising columns.
They are terse, pithy messages, but full of im
portant news.
They tell of opportunity of expanding trade; of
production seeking demand.
They are directly interesting to every individual
and every home.
INDOOR SPORTS
where the goblins are at work, then
you must hop like the grasshopper
until you are near enough to touch
the goblins with your wands, do not
let one escape, and then I will be
there to tell you what to do.”
Away flew the fairies as the queen
told them nnd they were upon the
goblins before they were aware of
their presence.
As the fairies touched them with
their wands, the goblins dropped their
brushes and their little eyes popped
out of their round faces bigger than
ever.
They could neither move nor speak,
and the wands felt like coals of fire
where they touched them.
“You wicked creatures," said the
queen, appearing In their midst, "you
should he punished severely, but as
we have caught you In time to save
the melons, you Shall scrape off the
pHlnt, which will keep you busy until
daylight."
“Change their brushes into broad
knives," she told the fairies.
When this was done she told the
gohllns to go to work and the fairies
stayed to see that they did it.
Removing the paint was much
harder than putting It on, and the
gobllna were so tired they could hard
ly move when the first streak of light
showed In the sky.
Luckily they had not painted all
the melons, so that to this day there
are some plain green melons.
When the fairies saw the sun peep
ing over the hills they told the gob
lins they could go, nlthough they had
not taken nil the white paint from
the melons, but It showed very faintly
and only a few stripes were left.
"Go home," said the queen, "and be
thankful you did not receive the same
treatment you Intended for the
nielqns."
The melons were saved, hut they
never recovered their plain green
Jackets, and that la the reason that
some of the melons are striped while
others are plain green.

AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
The Houston Cotton Exchange
Urges a Campaign By the United States Department of Agri
culture For a Reduction of Cotton Acreage By Half
SEASON OF 1914-1915
We concur In the widespread
belief of farmers, merchants,
bankers, economists, and others
that a reduction of the cotton
acreage the ensuing season by
half, is the only available, sure
and expeditious means to relieve
immediate conditions by stimulat
ing prices for the necessady
movement of the present crop and
by stabilizing the holding of the
surplus, and to guaranty fairly
higher prices for the reduced crop
of Nineteen-Fifteen.
In many stales doubtless there
Is no constitutional power to re
strict cotton planting by direct
legislation and best authorities
believe It Is unmistakably Imprac
ticable to force a reduction Indi
rectly by taxation.
With commendable zeal and
forethought, the Atlanta Chamber
of Commerce made a simple
hearted appeal to the Southern
banks to bear In mind t£is dire
necessity and exert every pres
sure to obtain commitments all
along the line to curtail the forth
coming crop by half. So far, so
good.
The Cotton Exchange of Hous
ton proposes to supplement the
activities of Atlanta, believes the
agitation to cut the crop should
touch the threshold of every far
mer’s home In the South, and
points to the following ready-at
hand human agencies for consum
mating an organized Southwide
curtailment:
(1) The common school system
of the South, Its state superin

St. Louie, Mo. —A gentle wind
whisked a slip of paper from the
desk of General Manager W. F.
Saunders in the Business Men's
League late yesterday afternoon,
and when a newspaper man pick
ed It up he found It was a efieck

was drawn on the St. Louis Union

Robert Holm, treasurer of the
Anheuser-Busch Brewing associa
tion.
A. L. Shapletgh met by Invitation

association yesterday to present
the plea of the Bu.v-a-Uale-Com

letter, addressed to Admself:

tors of the respective agricultu
ral departments; all inspired,
supervised and directed by the
United States Department of Ag

By utilizing these agencies to
standardize the simple methods of
solicitation and form of pdelgel
to reduce the cotton acreage by
half and to plant such abandoned
acreage In adaptable vegetables,
grains and foodstuffs, and to r*

uniform pledges, we believe the
united and binding inoral obliga

cured within a short time.
Shall we undervalue the tre

fect of these moral obligations?
Therefore, we urge you to adopt
proper resolutions appealing to
congress Sbd the department of
agriculture to supply speedily the
means whereby a thorough organ

the cotton acreage.
