BUSINESS IS FINE.
‘‘The little cold snap which we had
a week or ton data ago pr.dvded splen
did business," said Mesara. Prank
West and it. Lee tlarrett. of The Hotd
cry, on Friday, “and the only reason
why Ihe shoe merehanta are not doing
a real Ids bualneaa now In because of
the weather. People will not buy high
top shoes or warm rluthtng In warm
weather. We expect, with the next
cold snap, to begin to do a good busi
ness which will keup up throughout
the fall."
PLANT OATB THIS MONTH
PLAN TO BAVE COTTON CROP.
“If the cotton farmer will plant
fifty per cent of hie available cot
ton acreage, or about 18,000,000
acrec. in oate, (plant them deep
with e rill to prevent treering)
he will have eolved the problem
of crop reduction. Ae soon
this fact it officially known
through tha department at Waah
ington, the value of cotton will
immediately respond to the new
conditions and will advance at
• once to 10 or 12 cants par pound."
WEEMS A. SMITH.
THE CHURCH AND POLITICS.
We think there to no more dis
heartening spectacle In the world to
d« - than the attitude of Christian mm
In politics. Men who go to their
churches with devoted regularity on
Sundays, men »bo carry their religion
Into their domestic and personal llvet, |
appear to proceed under the theory i
that politics la the devil's field and In !
entering upon It one must do the devil's
way.
There Is a very widespread belief i
that the church must keep Itaelf com
pletely out of polltloa, or lose Its In
fluence, There la‘good enough excuse
too, for this belief, since, too often,
we see the disastrous results pf spir
itual leaders attempting to become
political leaders. Hut, If the church
stands lor the pcreonal Ideals of Jesus
Christ, how can Its members Mind
themselves to their oblieation to prac
tice these persona! Ideals In their pub
lic and political ronauct? The gre.it
evil In polltloa exists for the very rea
son that Christ Inn men and women
hold themselves aloof from them on
the uasumptloti that In this sphere
Christian standards must be lowered.
This Is nothing but a cowardly re
treat and a voluntary relinquishment
to evil forces of one of the most far
reaching and‘potent influences In th »
world.
The man who Kneel* before' I.l*
Heavenly Father on Bundayt In pray
er and on week d#ya compromls** his
Christian principles for political ends
Is a traitor to his faith and to his
God. Hut. the spiritual leaders. who
apeak every ttunday to their emigre
(at lons da ell but seldom upon the
(Teat duty of carrying Christian stand
ards into political and governmental
fields. Yet, while the Christian hesi
tates to carry his religion Into poli
tic*. the Influenoea of polltlvs, which
are in deadly opposition to those of
Christian works and Christian faith are
not hesitating about trying to make
un entrance Into the affairs of the
churchca. It seems to be com Inn to
a question of whether comiueat Is to
be won by a defensive and rt-tlrimt
movement or one that is forward and
aggressive. The war now ranging
Europe la a striking object lesson >f
the error of supposing that govern
ments and politics should be held In
muot from Christian Influences If
wa are to plan fqr sjch a thing as
true and lasting peace, we must found
tt on Christian government, not the
so-called Christian government which
blasphemes against tb* spirit whtlt
carrying tha label of Chr at. hut the
sort of government that keep* itaeif
in harmony wtib uiva and righteous- j

and ut noontime lie win wo tired he
nut down tinder a tree and ate his
lunch and thought over how he had

father’ll rifle.
Of coitroe, it was very fortunate for
Tommie that no aeeident befell him;

hut he did not think of that part as
hoys seldom do until it la too late.
As he sat there a rabbit ran In front
of hint, nnd he reached for his rifle;
[ but he waa so surprised to hear the

Tommie felt himself sliding down

In the center of the room was a

An owl of enormous alae took Tom

WHAT KIND OF
ADVERTISING IS BEST?
The kind that will sell YOUR goods and add to
your reputation.
The kind that makes sales and makes character.
The kind that individualizes your “product” and
“your business” —that brings its personality before
the public.
The kind that is "truthful,” "square.” and “inter*
eating.”
What is the beat mediums
The daily newspaper, because it holds its fran
chise from the people, is read by the people, and has
the confidence of its readers.
Manufacturers who want to know the beat way
to reach the public are invited to address the Bureau
of Advertising. American Newspaper Publishers As

''shoot him in the leg first.”
“nick, dick,” went the rifles, and
Tommie felt a pain in his right leg
and found he could not move It.
“He shot at me and took off one of
my front paws," said another squirrel
that carried his paw in a sling.
“(Mick, click,” went the rifles again,
and Tommie felt a pain in his right
arm, and found that wa« disabled also.
He heuan to get frightened. “Are
you going to let them kill me?” he
asked the owl.
“Oh. no!” replied the wise bird from
his scat at the head of the table, “we
do not wish to kill you, we only want
you wounded as you have done to
many of our family."
"He took a piece, of my scalp.” said
a rabbit with a bandage around his
head From the other side of the ta
ble came a regiment of rabbits. "Flick,
click," went tlie rifles. Tommie felt a
pain in his head. "Click, click," went
the rifles again, for a rabbit with one
paw in a sling told them to shoot
again.
“Take off his clothes." said the owl.
"and pull a bit of skin from his back."
Tommie tried to get up and run, but
he could not move, and he felt some
thing cold drawn down hie back. He
Closed his eyes and screamed as loud
as he could and he heard a voice say
"I think that will do."
Tommie jumped up and there he
was sitting under the tree and in
front of him waa a squirrel but Tom
tnle did not reach for his rifle; he
threw It some of his lunch instead.
The squirrel sat up ami ate It then
a bird flew down near him and ho
threw It some crumbs.
"They Hie very cunning" said Tom
mie as he watched them. "I never will
hurt one again even If I learn to use
a rifle and aim true. I will not harm
one of these pretty creatures.”

THE WAYS OF THRIFT
(Copyrighted 1914 American Society
for Thrift.)
THE WASTE IN AMERICA.
"The keynote of Anieriean life Is
waste," in the opinion of members of
the Belgian commission. They re
gard our improvidence as a national
sin that will sooner or later exhaust
natural resources and teach us econ
omy by the unpleasant experience of
destitution. Their views were voiced
before they left Chicago with an em
phasis nnd unanimity that left no
doubt of the sincerity of their convic
tion.
Henry «'artln de Wlart, minister of
Justice, regarded as "the brains of the
Belgian cabinet," and Emil van der
Velde, socialist minister of state and
expert in vital enocoiny, were the se
verest critics of American waste.
“The Anierlcnns waste enough to
feed a nation," said Minister de Wiart.
"on our ride from .\fontreal to Chi
cago we saw hundreds of miles of fer
tile lands lying fallow. We saw orch
ards and fields with ungathered pro
ducts rotting on th» ground. We saw
miles of young trees being destroyed
by fires started by engine sparks and
left to burn unnoticed. Everywhere
the farms and residences were divided
with wooden fences that contained
enough lumber to build the homes of
an empire.
"The waste of America Is not con
fined to materials. Never can a Eu
ropean believe the magnitude of
wasted labor in America unless he

Agricultural Department Points Out
Opportunity to American Farmers.
Washington—The Increased demand
In European countries for American
horses, caused by the war, presents an
excellent opportunity to farmers of
the United States, the Department of
Agriculture announced today. It is
stated that this demand may continue
for a decade or longer, as when peace
Is restored more horses will be need
ed for agriculture. Already, it Is
said, agents of European nations are
trying to buy horses In this country
and Canada.
It is emphasised that only horses of
high quality may he profitably raised
today. Inferior horses are a drug on
the market.
Next to Russia the United States
has more horses than any other coun
try and the tyo together possess BS
per cent of the world supply. It Is
conservatively estimated that one mil
lion horses now are engaged In the
war. The (ierman army tequlres for
a complete mobiltsausm 770.000, and
the French artillery is said to need
U 50.000.
The United States previously had
been drawn on to supply European
countries at war. In the Boer war
more than 100,000 horses were bought
here by Great Britain. It is consid
ered doubtful, however, whether a for-
I etgn government could at this time
obtain a similar supply In'this coun-
I try except at excessive cost.

"If any country in Europe had such

such unused labor energy, it would be
quickly transformed into prosperity
beyond dreams.
"If any European country were so
remiss in its attention to the demands
of wise economy its people would

dogs work. Every city lot is culti
vated and most of our garden truck is
raised on less ground than Americans
waste in unused back yards.”
Minister van der Velde concurred in
his associate's views He suggested
as means of correcting the worst
phase of "American waste” a plan
whereby all cities would organize em
ployment bureaus to send idle men to
agricultural districts. He also urged
that holding acreage in idleness would
not be profitable. In his opinion this
would compel production in the coun
