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.

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. (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure News paper Syndicate New York City.) Tomorrow's story—“ The Bra hers." 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. THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. (Copyrighted, 1914. American Society for Thrift.) 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 WHEAT AND COTTON.

THE WAYS OF THRIFT saying: 'Mr. Jones lets me use the school sewing machine.' 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 brought upon the stage a lien and her brood of chickens. barred Plymouth Rocks.

(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.” COUNTRY FAIR DATES.
