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 ness I - 'iiljll,; ,i|i ( ! ■ i , : ,. .i ■ : ;;! : |!!!!! i i!!d‘ ;■ Mi. :p!:' j; l| ijHji'i li ||L^ __ —•- Wfl. j IMhnoSOOV , , (i’ll ( RCMEMOUi AAI4 a/CRA a, i CGULO/ur VO / buTA x l * TFLU/AJCt MLVAJ \ puT - Up j Tt>OTH _ S'wsa* ‘ , \ *■' wernv \ ' ™»fr 7W£ CjtlV WHO 60T- ) /SPN ' ,\<r»JV tfiOM UAh-OW * /VlffHT ' ,V\ ' , ACHifJ6r TO - you m / Vs *“ r . mmmr\ THC O RJNKW6 FOC \OU VB.SJ l OUT IF IT TM<tT 1 lOEA / __ AwR/j- / N y HfMJCLPAMt.

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 WAR A BOON TO HORSEMEN. 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.

Hundreds of thou sands of men. whose energy might he applied to production, remain in en forced Idleness. “In the country, wasted lands; In the cities, wasted men. On the trees and plants, ungathered food; In the centers of population, hungry people Those are the economic elements of American life. Why do not the states men here address themselves to bring isg about an adjustmnt that will cure these evils? "If any country in Europe had such bounteous natural wealth, such limit less land area fit for cultivation, and 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 starve. Why. In Belgium even our 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 try and the construction of building* in the city, and create a demand for labor that would absorb the idlers. doing business on the part of business men in the United States.
