PLAN TO SAVE COTTON CROP.
“If the cotton farmer will plant
fifty par cent of hit available cot
ton acreage, or about 18,000,000
acres, In oats, (plant them deep
with a rill to prevent fretting)
ha will have solved the problem
of crop reduction. As soon as
this fact it officially known
through tha department at Wash

immediately respond to the new
conditions and wilt advance at

HORRORS OF PEACE AND WAR
Horn rone remarked that the secre
tary of stale proceeded under tltoi
tnotto; ."In lima of war prepare for
peace.” The North American Review,
In like spirit, points to "The Horrors
Of Peace" at this time when the peo
ple of the United Stste* are shud
dering at the spectacle of war The i
article seeks to ahow that the fatali
ties of great tut it lea are far outdone
by the aggregated miseries Involved
In accidents and social Ilia in time of
jpeace.
The "horrors of ratlroadtng," the
“horrors of aquatic pleasures," the
••horrors of picnic and church struc
turn disasters,” the “horrors of flood
diaastera," the "horrors of white sla
very.” and the "horrors of the divorce
courts” make up a striking catalogue
of the biota on civilisation at Ita best
This ts all trtie enough and well
worth aarnest attention at this time,
while our hearts are burdened with
the realisation of war's cruelty and
brutality. Perhaps the chief differ
ence between the horrors of peace and
those of war Has In the fact that not
one human creature can be uncon
scious or tgnornnt of the deliberate
intention of war. The horrors of peace
are almost all of them Incidental to
the ruthless pursuit of advantage tn
commercial and industrial lines Al
most Invariably they arc the result of
that selfish unconcern for human Ilf"
Hnd human happiness, which man
practlaea Against man and nation

The beat excuse w e can offer for
these social outrages, these "blots upon
our civilisation," Is that they coma
from a blindness that Is pot so delib
erately sought for and de\ eloped as
that of warfare.

'WALKER
THE FOX AND THE CAT.
Once upon « time a cat was walking
through a forest when she met a fox.
“My good friend." said the fox, you
have a very handsome coat, but your
tall Is not anywhere near as handsome
as mine Conte with me and 1 will
show you how to make It grow.”
So the cat went along with the fox
to his den for he very much admired
the tall of the fox and thought It
would make all the cats Jealous when
they saw his bushy tall.
"The first thing you must do." said
the lox when they arrived at his home
1 I ,
you CO AHtAO
"Is to build the fire and cook the sup
| per. Exercise Is the best thing to
| make your tall grow bushy.”
So thk iat cooked tha supper and
when it was ready he sat down at the
table to eat with the fox.
“And another very necessary thing
to lie done." said the fox, ”t» to diet
| You should eat very little and nothing
! hut green stuff. You better go out
1 and eat some grass and then some
water You will find a creek back of
■ the rock by the door."
The cat did not like this part of the
| bargain very well, but he did want
| the hush (ail. so he went, hut he was
so hungry the next morning that he
could hardly wait for breakfast time.
"You can cook thoae chickens for
! breakfast." said the fox. "and then
|>ou can go but and catch a bird or
two. but you must lie hack In time for
dinner, ns you must not lose an op-
I portunlty to exercise.”
The cst did not need to tie told a
second time that he could eat, and off
Holding The
Market Steady
Advertised goods have won everlasting fame
for themselves during the present crisis.
They have held out firmly against advances in
price even in the face of higher cost of materials.
In most instances manufacturers have been
content to see their profits cut, sooner than see
their reputations impaired.
Men who advertise are believers in the square
deal.
They win public confidence because they are
deserving of it.
They do not take advantage of the public
when a pinch comes.

he ran. After a. few (lays of cooking
for the fox and waiting on him the
cat began to ask about his tall. "When
will It begin to grow?" he asked.
"<>h. you will have to he patient."
said the fox "You cannot expect to
have a tall like mine grow in such a
short time Tonight you better come
with me and help bring home a fat
goose and a hen: that will give you a
little more exercise.”
So that night the cat went along
with the fox. and when they came to
the barnyard the fox said, "You go
ahead; the hens will not notice you:
then I can come In and pull them off
their roost without any trouble."
The car did as he was told, hut just
as he stepped in front of the hen
house, click went something, and the
cat found himself a prisoner in the
trap that had been set for the fox.
‘‘lla, ha! I thought so," said the fox,
trotting off as fast as he could.
"Gome back and help me out of this
trap you got ine Into," called the cat.
“I guess not." called back the fox.
“That was Just the reason I sent you
ahead. 1 was auspicious of that farmer.
He had been watching for me. but
now he will not he on the lookout for
me. Good day, Mr. Gat. I hope your
tall w ill grow ." And off he ram ovsr
the hill, leaving the cat faat in the
trap.

hen "Let this he a lesson and do not
