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. pm ,\i o ** 'eg • » .•« e*srt.i, 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 Rood” in place of a standard advertised article “needs 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 sell. INDOOR SPORTS - - By Tad 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 voice was so soft and sweet, and so kind, and the little princess was nut used to much klndneaa.

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 when he was riding past her cave, and one day she threw over him a kettle (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.

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.
