BUSINESS IS FINE.
**Our busineta Is good," said Mr. John
T. Wilcox, Jr., of Castleberry A Wilcox,
Friday morning. "We hope and halieve
that business will continue to be as good
as it has been for the past few months,
•nd If It does, we will have no kick."
PLANT OATB THIS MONTH
PLAN TO SAVE COTTON CROP.
“If the cotton farmer will plant
fifty par cant of his available cot
ton acreage, or about 18,000,000
acraa, in oats, (plant them deep
with a rill to prevent freezing)
ha will have solved tha problem
•f crop reduction. As soon as
this fact is officially known
through tha department at Wash
ington, tha valua of cotton will
immediately respond to tha naw
conditions and will advance at
once to 10 or 12 cents par pound."

NARDO AND HI6 BROTHERS.
One*- upon ii time ,i man had three
nephews, Nardo. Matteo und Micro.
Nardo was always ready to help his
Unde and, of course, became his fav
orite.
“You shall have nil my gold.” declared
his uin b* one day, “and \onV lazy broth
ers will have to work or starve when I
am zone *’
When Matteo and Mieco heard thin
they began to plan a way to get rid of
Nardo. In the countrj where they lived
there was a high mountain, on the top
lot which there lived a witch, and it was
said site possessed a huge cow that gave
ijuarts and quarts of rich cream each
day Instead of milk, and Unit all she
ate was no nu-v«* than one ordinary cow
would consume.
So Matteo and Mlcco went to their
uncle and said, “If you had this cow.
»##/ n-* ■> »■ Jtfy
unc t\ you would not need any other;
she would cst little and give mmi cream
than all of the cows you now have. We
are pure that Nardo could get her for
you, he Is : o clever." The uncle, of
course I not see through the
scheming brothers plan, so he sent for
Nardo and said, “If you wish to serve
toe get the cow that the witch Ima on
top of the mountain."
Now Nardo knew (list his brother*
were planning to get him out of the
wa> ami so he went to a fairy he knew
of in it Mi lu the forest and told her
what his unde wished
“I will hep vou all I can.” she told
Nardo. giving him a bridle, “put this
over the head of the cow and you can
take ha* to your home In safety, hut
>ou must manage to get Into the bam
where the oow i« kept; and I cannot
help you do.“ Nardo made his way to
the top of the mountain anil waited
until the witch put out the light In her
cave, then he stole softlv ap to the him
wo ere the cow was sheltered, t’e -.p- •*.
el *hc door, but no t oner had he done
so than a black cat ran past him
*« reaming. *Vome quickly, the row Is In
I danger. “
This so upset Nardo that he started
American Made Laces
Fashion has decreed that this will he a season
of laces.
Kinus and Kmperovs have ordered that Europ
ean laeetnakers shall drop their needles and
looms and carry puns.
American manufacturers have stepped into the
breach and their mills are running night and day.
For the first time perhaps the public will
realize how good are American laces.

to run. hut then he thought d f the
tvldle. and remembered that once he
put it over the head of the cow he
could conduct Iter to.his unde in safety.
So he hurried to the cow and had Just
slipped the bridle over Iter head when
the cat returned and he old witch was
with her.
Instantly Nardo felt that he was fly
ing- through the air. and the cow
seemed to sail along beside him. and
anon he was back at his uncle's door
and presented him with tlie wonderful
cow.
The scheming brothers were surprised
when they saw Nardo, for they had ex
l'*« ted that the witch and her cat would
destroy him.
But Ills uncle did not live long to en
joy Ids treasure, and when he died lie
left all his money and the wonderful
cow to Nardo.
of course NaVdo was very rich and
his brothers very poor. Inn he forgave
them for all their scheming and plan
ning to get rid of him. and gave to each
a hag of gold and told them they must
go to a foreign country to live.
Nardo lived in pence and plenty after
that and did much good among the poor
with Ids wealth.

TRADE REVIVES FROM SHOCK
Prosperity Will Not Be Impaired By
War, Chicago Banker Says.
Chicago.—America is recovering
from the shock to business caused by
the Kuropean war, F. W. Thompson,
of Chicago, president of the Farm
Mortgage Hankers’ Association, told
members of the association attending
the first annual convention here to
day.
“it is only necessary to call atten
tion to our wonderful resources,” Mr.
Thompson said, “and our ability to
transform into money 900 million
bushels of wheat. 8 million bales of
cotton and 2,700 million bushels of
corn, together with a vast quantity of
livestock and other food produce, to
assure our nation of a bountiful pros
perity in the coming year
“In spite of the war, the exports of
foodstuffs already have shown a
narked increase over the same period
of last year The banking fraternity
is united In a sincere campaign to as
sist in getting our surplus agricultural
products transformed Into gold or
credit nbroat. That surplus will be
an Important means of discouraging
any undue liquidation of American
securities by foreign holders."
Mr. Thompson urged that all Infor
mation available be obtained before
any rural credit legislation is attempt
ed by congress. Today's sessions
were the final ones of the conven
tion.

THRIFT MONTH IN SCHOOLS.
\ practical suggestion is given for
school exhibits for Thrift Month (Octo
ber) in the following account in a rt
< ent Journal of Kdueatlon describing the
proofs <>f the ihrift teaching at the
Piney woods school, Broxton. Miss., of
which L. O. Jones is principal. Here
It is:
“A girl steps forward on the platform
and says: *We have learned to make
brooms,’ add then she proceeds to take
some broom corn of her own raising
and makes a broom. After she gets
well started. while she continues to
make the bVoom, a boy steps forward
and says: ‘We have learned to use tools
and can mend everything on the place.*
and then proceeds by the use of a crude
forge and anvil to make a link and put
it In a chain and weld it.
“While lie goes ahead and completes
his work and the girl keeps at work on
her broom, another girl says: ‘We learn
to make hats und I can make a good
hat for 20 cents.' She tells what e ioil
pa*, t of the material costs her and pro
ceeds to make a hat.
“While these three are at work, an
other girl says: 'We learn to make our
own clothes 1 can make a fine wrap
per. costing me only 20 cents.' She tells
what the goods cost and the other feat
ures and proceeds to cut out and make
a wrapper. She uses a sewing machine,
ECONOMY THE
ORDER OF THE DAY
It Promises to Become a Bles
sing For the Country
There is a great wave of economy
spreading throughout tlie country and
especially among the people of the
larger cities
While it is regarded as pure specula
tion to attempt to estimate the volume
of capital which is being dall> accumu
lated as a result of this national wave of
economy, some idea of the magnitude of
litis movement may be drived from the
foregoing There are about 100,000,000
people in the I’nlted States. if it is
assumed that the savings take in 80 per
cent of our total population and that
their savings average not more than $6
a month, it will be seen that one
month's savings will aggregate $300,000,-
000. From the date of hostilites In
Kurope to Thanksgiving 4>ay a fund of
oxer $1,000,000,000 wood, therefore, ac
cumulate at tne rate of s'* pSr month
per capita savings for 60 per cent of
the country’s population.
While economic and industrial condi
tions at the present time are not in any
sense similar to the conditions which
followed the depression in 1893. there
is an analog} in the Wave of economy
that followed that ye»r. which resulted
witldn a few years in the greatest ac
cumulation of investment capital we
have even* known. In the long run this
impulse towards economy on the part of
the average man will be a ap endid
thing for the United States. For a dec
ade or more, the careless extravagance
•«nd Improvidence of neatly everybody
has teen undermining the whole country.
But now we have a situation where the
importance of conserving resources is
being brought home to everybody. ”
we can only gel the people Of the
United States Into the habit of living
within or a little below their Income*
rattier tlmn above them, the future will
indeed be bright

Another says: 'I can make a blouse
and overalls for my brother for a few
cents, and he could not have good blouse
uid overalls unless X could make them
for him, but all the children now look
tidy because I have learned to make
theirs clothes myself.’ and the little
children stand up in their new. Inex
pensive clothes.
A young man steps forward, and with
the help of another places two ofates
upon the platform. In one is a razor
hack hog: In the other a Berkshire. He
says: 'We used to keep razor-hack hogs
like tills one. hut now we keep a Berk
shire like this one,’ and proceeds to call
attention to differences in the two. He
tehs the difference in the profit of keep
ing the Berkshire Instead of the razor
hack.
"Another girl says: 'We now wash
our clothes very often so as to be sweet
and clean all the time. I like to wash
clothes now and I call it laundering
them.' and she proceeds to illustrate her
skill as a laundress
“While all this was going on, a boy

chickens, told how many hens he had,
how many chickens, how many eggs he
sold last year, how many chickens he

and how much he made a year on chick

BUSINESS AS USUAL.
(Macon News).
It Is a fact that the war has caused
less disturbance in business conditions
in England than in the United States,
and yet the former country is more
vitally affected.
The stores in London are display
ing signs which read, "Business As
Usual."
So general has this become that it
is now a theme for verse, and a poet,
Reginald Arkell, has incorporated it
in lines which are to the effect that
John Bull, on leaving his shop to go
to war
Wrote on his window a message for
all to read.
"Business conducted as usual, whlla
alterations proceed;”
Left his missus and kiddies to carry
the business on,
Bailed for the sound of the shooting
Good-bys, and God bless you
John.'
Samuel Blythe writes in the Satur
day Evening Post that the (English
have accepted the war and the con
ditions which naturally ensue in a go.
her, philosophical way. They have
not become alarmed. They are not
conjuring up any fears or scarecrows.
They are making the best of their ait.
nation, ns cheerfully as they can.
Of course, there are fundamental
reasons why England will not suffer
a shock to her financial affairs such
"a we have sustained in this country
There the control of business is exer
cised by the commercial and other
wealth-producing interests; here the
control is maintained by the money
lending interests. At that, however,
there is no logical reason why con
ditions in the United States should be
so unreasonably upset. If England
can bear the brunt of this terrible war
with poise and comparative serenity,
in commercial circles, there is no rea-,
son why the United States should be
the center of ao much unrest and ap
prehension.
Th* people of the South in particu
lar have been afraid of their fears.
We have talked the war too much—
wc have made ourselves panicky.
It is time for the South, in spite of
the low cotton market, to cultivate a
more optimistic tone, to look to the
future Instead of sourly regarding the
darker aspects of the present, to adopt
the British motto and practice It—
" Business A* Usual.”
