PRINCESS GOOD AND THE GREEN
DWARF—Part 11.
The next morning the sun wtut shin
ing when the princess opened her eyes,
snd the first thing she thought of was
who "his highness" could he, so she
jumped out of bed tuid pushed the
stiver button ami In, and the little maid
of ihe night before cams smiling und
wishing her good morning.
"Ills highness wished to know If you
will ride with him before breakfast?"
In.pdrad the maid.
The princess said she would he de
lighted. and In u |ittle while she was
dressed and running through the halls
to the door of the castle where two
beautiful black horses that were sad
dled soon appeared.
"flood morning, your highness," he
said, "did you sleep well?"
The princess told him she did, but
she did not ask, ns she would like to
do, who "his highness" was, to whom
the maid refsrred.

The princess old not look at the
green dwarf aa he scrambled Into his
saddle, for she was sure he must be
very sensitive about his queer looks,
and she did not wish to hurt hla
feelings
They rode along a roaxl more beauti
ful than the one the princes* had seen
the d»v before, and by and by they
came to a pretty little cottage covered
“He Needs the Money”
The denier who tries to sell something *‘just ss

the money.”
Your satisfaction is not so important as his profit.
It is short-sighted policy of course—something
the wise and the reputable merchant would not stoop
to.
Purchasers should be on their guard against the
“I need the money men.”
When you ask for a standard advertised article
“get it.”
Don't take something the other man wants to

with roses, where the dwarf stopped
and clapped his hands, and a funny
little fat man and his funny little wife
ran to the door and bowed low to the
dw'arf.
A table was brought and spread un
der the rose-covered arbors and trees
and the little princess thought she
had never been so happy as she was on
this beautiful morning.
Then another ride was taken
through n more beautiful woods than
the princess had ever seen and when
they returned to the palace the little
nmld had a dress laid out for the prin
cess that she thought must have been
made for her.
"Who wore this dress? She must
have been Just as large as I am." she
said to the maid.
"No one has ever worn the dress be
fore, your highness," replied the maid.
"Rut how did you happen to have 11
hero and just a fit for me?" asked the
princess, more pus/.led than ever.
"Hie highness had these rooms pre
pared when he came here to live and
the chests came with us,” said the
maid.
It was all the princess could do not
to ask more about "his highness" and
the strange host and all the other
things, but she she knew she should
not question servants, so she let the
maid dress her and went to dinner.
When It came dark the princess re
membered that she had not said a
word about going home, snd so she
said to the dwarf: “I should have gone
home today, but I have been so happy
I hnd not thought of home Tomor
row 1 must be off early In the morn
ing Will you have m,v hors# brought
to the door as soon as the sun Is up."
"110 you wish to leave here?" asked
the dwarf. “I had hoped you would
be sc happy here that you would not
care to return to your home.”
"I do not go because I wish to," re
plied the princess, "for T am very un
happy at home. My stepmother does
not love me, and no doubt she wishes
I would never return, but I cannot ac
cept your kindness longer, J have
staved too long already,"
"Rut If you could love ms well
enough to live here always •• said the
dwarf, "we could be married and this
would be your home: you would
never have to leave It—or me." he
added hesitatingly. It was almost
dark In the room where they were sit
ting. but for the light from the fire In
the grate, and the princess forgot all
about his queer form and color, Ills

kind, and the little princess was nut

\vi::h to leave you, but what will his
highness say to having me live here?"
The princess felt an arm steal
around her waist, and a man much
taller than the dwarf stood beside her.
.fust then a servant appeared with
a light and the princess beheld a
handsome young tnan beside her, and
the rreen dwar f was nowhere to be
seen.
The servant when he heheld his
master screamed which brought all
the other servants running to the
room, and then the princess learned
for the first time who "his high
ness" was and all there was to
know about her strange surroundings.
A wicked witch had changed the
prince Into the green dwarf because
he uad not given her gold and jewels

(From the Commercial Appeal.)
To The Commercial Appeal:
While others are suggesting ways and means for reducing the 1915
cotton crop through your valuable paper, would it not be a good idea to
publish the names of the farmers who have and Intend to cut their cotton
acreage for next year? By doing this I feel that it would be a work of
education and of great service to the Southland.
If the mills knew that only 50 per cent, of the 1914 acreage would be
planted next sear, cotton would be selling much higher than It is today,
hut If something Is not done I fear even lower prices than now.
My suggestion la this: Have blank mailing forms such as the follow
ing:
Name P. O
•’ounty State
Number of acres planted In cotton 1914
Intend plant in cotton in 1915
Act-es already planted in grain f
Kind of grain
To the best of my ability I swear that the above statement is true and
correct.
In answer to the above card In your paper suppose you should re
ceive an answer from several of the large delta planting corporations,
staling that they liad planted around 10,000 acres in 1914, but in 1915 they
intend to cut their cotton acreage to 5 000 acres: had already planted
largely tn wheat, oats and rye. and in the spring would plant much more
corn than last year, etc. Tills alone. I feel, would have marked effect
upon other farmers, and they would fall in line.
What we are all after—and what we must get—ls a statement from
every county that plants cotton, showing to the world what we Intend to
do, and the only way‘to do It is to educate the people through the press
Some people will say, “But the farmer won’t do what he promises.”
Yes, he will, too; every farmer will watch his neighbor, and the press
would have a complete record of every section, and If necessary publish
the "welchers."
If you will start the "bail to rolling." other Journals throughout the
South, I believe, will take tt up, and in the end it will be as widespread
as the "huy-a-bale movement.”
Now. as for n v son and myself, we cultivated this year 1.100 acres In
cotton, but we intend to sow wheat and oats to Dec 1, and in the spring
will plant enough corn to reduce our cotton acreage to less than 500 acres
for 1915.
What will others do? F. M. OYVENS.

ful of a strange mixture she had
brewed and told him until he could
find a princess who loved him he
would remain a green dwarf.
So the prince took his servants and
came to the castle in the woods, bring
ing with him his chestful of beautiful
clothes for the princess when he
should find her.
Then with the old witch whom the
queen had bargained with, the prince
had made a bargain first that she was
to help him find the princess who was
to free him from the form he wore,
and that was how It happened that
she was able to promise the queen to
get rid of the Princess Qood, for this
witch was not a bad witch, as the
other was.
