THRIFT MONTH CAMPAIGN.
Watch the new* for sign* of a na

the importance of more thrift a* de
fense against the high cost of living.
October I* Thrift Month the country
over. School Hiiperlntendents, com
mercial club*, manufacturers, retailer*

women'* organization* and fraternal
biMiirance societies and precahera,
doctor*, lawyer* and other*, seemed
determined to take a very active part
In a nation-wide movement to be
thriftier and to make u new start dur

'Just this a wakening. Some elites Hie
gelling Citizens' t'oininllteea busy.
These committees are trying to get
thing* done that will count.
The American Society for Thrift
has been proposing that Citizens'
Thrift Committees be created, that
Public meetings be held, that cash
buying be encouraged and the old
fashioned thrift of quantity buying
for winter's use
Among the cities where (he Thrift
Committee plans are known to be un

for cotton springs up.

alive to the situation and Is doing Its
full part In order to enable the farm
ers of the south to hold and to store
and to market gradually the big crop
of cotton that the aouth has raised
thla year.
In the meantime, the farmers of the
south must get busy raising food sup
plies for next year. Farmer* must
actually live at home next year and
cut down the cotton acreage fully one
half. If they are going to get a ralr
price for thia crop of cotton If*
going to do no good to hold thl* year'*
crop and itttike another one next year

Let the south feed Itself next year
and live at home and thl* year’* cot

ever raleed. It will make the south
next year the most prosperous section
In the world.

In every city the need is felt and the
Initiative of local dealers will get
under way thrift campaigns and start
thrift work which may mark a new
era In the prosperity and well being
of the communities and the nation.
Congressman J. R. Clancy, of New
York, 35th District, has Joined the
Thrift Movement. To a recent an
nouncement of the American Society
for Thrift, from the Chicago head
quarters, that October Is to be Thrift
Month the country over, Congress
man Clancy replied:
"I am In most hearty sympathy
with your efforts to create thrift
among the American people. I know
of no better way to secure practical
results than for all of ua to reduce
our tastes to a simpler and healthier
basis. In securing thl* no one
tiling can he of greater aid than all
buying for cash. Unrestricted credit
is always apt to lead to extravagance.
"Your suggestion to revive the old
fashioned practice of buying vege
table for winter use in quantities Is
most excellent. Many of the cheaper
winter vegetables such as were used
in my boyhood days are equally as
healthful as the canned vegetables of
today, and very much cheaper. Pos
sibly the slogan might me, eat only
the things that Rre of the season
thereby securing the maximum of
quantity and flavor at the minimum
cost. Spring ohloken la delicious and
reasonable in September, hut usually
tnsteless. stringy and expensive In
February, nnd the same Is true of
many of the hot-house food* which
we have unfortunately gotten into the
habit of thinking we should have at
sll times of the year entirely Irre
spective of the time when nature In
tended that they should be of greatest
food value to mankind."

BILLY PIG RESCUES BILLY GOAT.
Billy Pig was on his way to his
grandmother's one morning. He had
a basket on his arm, which he was
very careful to hold straight, as It con
tained a Jar filled with fresh milk.
He had gone half way through the
woods when he Uiought he heard a
groan.
Hilly Pig stopped and listened, hut
he did not put down the basket, and
he waited until he heard the groan
again, and then he started to run.
When he reached the end of the
woods he looked hafrk,, but to his sur-
Vkw'r ye*'* **»r*f# */*'**
„ vet/’
prise, he did not s*e anyone following,
as he had expected.
"Perhaps It was not old Bruin after
all." he said.
Billy Pig looked about and eelected a
place to put hla basket and then went
cautiously toward the bushes from
where the groans seemed to come.
Something moved, and Billy Ptg
stopped, but the groan came again,
and Billy took a step nearer. He could
see a whit# coat. He went nearer and
saw It had black spots. Billy Pig
grew holder, nnd pulled aside the bush
es, and there on the ground was Billy
Goat, held fast by the horns in the
briar bushea.
"Oh. oh, oh. oh!" Billy Goat groan
ed. "Don't kill me, Mr. Wolf." for he
could not see Billy Pig; the briars held
Wear and Use
More Cotton Goods
Every woman who buys and uses cotton goods
at this time is helping to revive American industries.
She is helping the South to move its cotton crop;
she is giving impetus to the mills and spinners.
Cotton has a multitule of uses—it is the world’s
great staple.
Today, because of the European war, it is lower
in price than in many years.
That means lower prices for manufactured cot
ton—better buying opportunities than in many a day.
The stores are offering many attractive values
in cotton goods as can be seen by the advertising in
The Herald.
his head so close to the ground.
Billy Pig began to understand now,
and he thought It would serve Billy
Goat right if he made him think he
was old, old black wolf, and paid him
back for all the tricks he had played
on him and all the frights he had giv
en him.
Then he saw that the briars were
really causing Billy Goat pain, as they
were sticking Into his head. So, with
out saying a word, he began to pull
them away from Billy Goat’s horns.
When the last briar was removed
and Billy Goat jumped up and saw
Billy Pig ,he was the most astonished
fellow you ever saw.
»"Was that you every time I have
t(|ught old black wolf came to carry
me off?" asked Billy Pig. who was
thinking of all the times old black
wolf had appeared to him.
"Yes,” said Billy Goat, “and I cer
tainly had you some scared, didn’t
I? You would do anything I asked if
only Mr. Wolf would let you off."
"Yes, I was scared," said Billy Pig.
"but it seemed to me you were about
as scared as any goat I ever saw this
morning when I found you and Mr.
Wolf had about as much promised him
as anyone I knew of. You better come
over where my basket Is and get
something to eat; you must be hun
gry."
Billy Goat began to be ashamed of
himself when Billy Pig handed him
the jar of milk and some seed cookies
out of his basket, and then bound his
handkerchief around Billy Goat'a head
where the briers had hurt him.
"Won't your mother punish you for
giving away the milk and cookies?"
asked Billy Goat.
"I suppose she will," said Billy Pig,
"hut I could not leave you here with
out anything to eat, and you were al
most faint from hunger."
"I will go back home with you and
tell her and get eome more milk and
cookies for your grandmother, and
then I will carry the- basket all the
way, for you are a pretty good fellow.
Billy Pig, and I am ashamed of all
the tricks l have played on you."
"Oh, I played a few on you, so I
guess we are about even now," said
Billy Pig.
Ills mother forgave Billy Pig and
told him he was a brave fellow and
did Just right to feed Billy Goat, who
was *<• much in need of feed.
