Wise, of the Wiae Dry Goods Company, this morn ing, “On Saturday wo had a better day than wa had on tha same day the pravioue year. Hard timet or good timae ia largely a state of mind. Of court#, if avary one aaye the timet are hard thay will ba hard, but if they eay timee are good avary on* will be optimistic. I do not mean to say that I am having tha biggest season on rocord, but buameaa is good." PLANT OATS THIS MONTH PLAN TO SAVE COTTON CROP. "If th* option farmer will plpnt • fifty por cpnt of hie available cot ton ocroogo. or about 18,000,000 acroo, in oat», (plant thorn deep with a rill to provont freezing) ha will havt aoluod tho problem of prop roduction. As soon as this fact io officially known through tho doportmont at Wash ington, tho value of cotton will immediately respond to the now conditions end will advance at ones to 10 or 12 cents per pound." WEEMS A. SMITH. FINANCE GRAIN PLANTING. The fallowing pledge lias been planed bjr over two thousand bank I president* In the South, among whom Are at tho least four hundred ami i sixty-five In the stale of Georgts "My policy will ho to extend financial aid to those who reduce N.U ,i ISIS cotton crop one-half, and to dlacourage In every proper way the planting of more than half this year's acreage Ip cotton, the other half to be planted In gttiln ami food crops. I will confer with the supply merchants of thl* comma rtlty and urge them to adopt the same policy.'* * There Is greater potency in this nitasure for freeing the Kunlhcrn stairs from the one-crop delusion than in a resort to Irpinlatton, either by federal or by state authority. The merchants i and the banka have this situation In their handa more than the farmers. When we realise that almost all of the cotton In the South ta raised under 1 the tenant ajateui and that a great number of the tenant* are negroes, get ting advance loans from their land lords their hankers and their mer- { ehanta for thetr prospective cotton, we eanool ear-ape the realisation that the k*> to tha situation to in the hands of the man who lends the money Thera la not a hanker. « merchant, or a money lender of any kind In Qwurgia whu lacks the keenness to realise thst the value of this year's crop la resting entirely upon the hope that next year s crop shall be very, ana* 11.

LA ' i ™ £ ORCHESTRA ' V ~T- At-the church SHOUJ DON'T TALK WAR—TALK BUSI NESS. it is encouraging to hear so many people these days tell you business is good ami getting better every day. DON'T TALK WAR TALK BUSI - is the advice given by many a business man who Is busy himself. It's good advice for all of us. Don't talk war, talk business, especially to a business man who is busy and work ing harder to get busier as the days go by. This section has raised magnificent crops, the country Is In splendid con dition. Don’t get worried. The problem Is to live at home, keep at work, raise food stuffs Hint livestock, and store your cotton until a market springs up. If not now. one of these days the world will want every pound of this | year's cotton crop and will pay a good ! price for 11. Already Kngland Is be ginning to look ut the South's prob lem almost as her own. She Is send ing business men to talk over the sit uation. She Is sending more ami more ships to lake the South's cot t! II Tin l world cannot get along much longer on the small takings of the South’s crop The demand is bound to come some time for a 1,000 bales where the demand now Is for 10 bales Fortiinaisly the South can watt. She cun treat her cotton crop as so much money In the hank. Stic can i pay her debts with cotton and cot ton warehouse certificates. She can land will wait until there Is a market for her cotton amt at fair pricea. Keep your mind off the price of cot ton. It doesn’t Interest you <;et I busy with oats. Prepare to feed cat tle this winter, meal and hulls are cheap. DON'T TALK WAR TALK BUSI NESS BE SURE TO COMF TO THE GEORGIA CAROLINA FAIR. Augusta Is going to put on tills year one of the best Fall I’slrs In the hls tory of the Georgia-Carolina Fall Lair Association, and thl* section of Georgia and South Carolina will find at the Fair more to Interest and In struct thHii ever before. Aside from the amusement features without which no fair ta complete, and which are particularly strong this year, as announced liy the manage ment. the Georgia-Carolina Fair Is going to make a allowing of agricul tural development, of atock raising, poultry and pej stock raising, corn, and grain and hay. that will convince the moat akepitral that the farmer* of the South at last sre aide to live at home, and to live well. In view of the fact thst cotton pro duction must he reduced one-half next year, farmers are going to turn more and more attention to diversi fied farming. One of the best places to get I ntouch with what this sec tion ts doing will he at the Augusta i Fair this year Don’t Rock the Boat Row! Row! Row! Just Fitting tight in squally weather won’t do — a firm pair of hands at th*? oars ia much better. When the ground swell from Europe hit our in dustries, the wise men did not merely ait still. They glimpsed fair water ahead, and saw still fur ther on the harbor of prosperity. They began to row and they are getting there. One of the best pair of oars a business man can use when things begin to slacken up is definite, con structive. business building advertising in the daily newspaper. Can we tell you how? INDOOR SPORTS FARMERS ATTENTION THE PRICES WE SHOULD RE CEIVE FOR OUR COTTON SEED If the oil mills are right, that thev cannot aftord to pay more than sl2 to sl4 a ton for cotton seed, then cot ton seed meal should sell for S2O a ton, hulls at $5 a ton, oil at 30 cents n gallon and llnters at 1H cents a pound. On that basis the following shows cost and profits: • Receipts. »00 lbs. meal, at S2O a ton $ R.OO 700 lbs. hulls, at $5 a ton 1.75 300 lbs. or 400 gal's oil, 30c gal. .. 12.00 100 lbs llnters, 1 tyc lb 1.50 Total $23.25 Cost. ! ton seed at sl4 $14.00 Expense of working ton seed.... 6.00 Profit 3.25 Total $53.2.7 We have reliable Information from a mill that worked Its seed last year for $4.40 a ton and no one believes that cotton seed meal will sell for S2O a ton, or that hulls will sell for $3 a too. when all other feeding stuffs are going higher. Cotton seed meal Is as cheap a cattle or horse feed at $25 a ton ns corn at 40 cents a bushel, and It is therefore perfectly ridiculous to expect cotton seed meal to sell for S2O a ton when corn Is selling at present prices. There Is no escape from the conclu sion that the mill* are wrong 1n try ing to depress the price of seed be low sl6 « ton, and they sre worth S2O at the present prices of oil, meal and hulls. But whether the pdlls are offering as much as they can" afford to pay, or less, should make no difference to the farmer so long as that price la less than sl6 to S2O a ton. Cotton seed are worth sl* a ton to the farmer as fer tiliser and S2O a ton for feeding and he should not sell a pound of seed for less than these figures.—The Progres sive Farmer. A COTTON GOODS SALE WEEK. Cities all over tha country are mak ing preparations to put on a Cotton Goods Display Week in tho hope of arousing a greater Interest in the Wear Cotton Goods Slogan that is going the rounds. 1 .orally It would lie a good Idea for the Augusta stores to co-operate In such a display. Already one of the Augusta mills has announced that It will make a dis play of "Made In Augusta Goods" at the Georgia-Carolina Fair, and more and more of these displays ought to be made at all the Fall Fairs, not only In the South, hut throughout other sections of the country. With foreign Imports falling off, and with serious Intemipttrß* threat ened to foreign mills. American mills. North and South, must soon he called upon to supply the big domestic trade as well ss take osre of their share of the Increased foreign demand that must soon start up. This Is ths opportunity for the American manufacturer, and especial ly for the Southern mills. 7HE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. DRUSILLA AND THE MONKEY.

"Then. Bobby Jones, what do you think happened?” Bobby shook his head and stared. “That horrid creature took the cookie and then he grabbed me, and before you could breathe he ran up the side of the house and put me on a window sill." “But how did you get down?" asked Bobby, his eyes very big with excite ment and wonder. "That was another adventure,” said Drusilla. "The window where he put me was closed, or I might not have been here to tell you about It. When he put Tre on the window sill he sat down beside me, but a dog on the other side of the glass saw him, and the way he Jumped about and barked was something awful. The monkey ran down to hts master, and left me Bitting there, with that dog barking and Jumping at the window, trying to get at me. Oh!
