ONE WAY TO CUT DOWN THE
ACREAGE BY LEGISLATION.
The Herald thlnka that Governor
Rliiton ought to have called a aped U
eeaalor. of the Icglalature »o that Geor
gia might have joined with the other
cotton elates, set the example to other
cotton producing atntea. In the effort
to find a way to help tmpreea upon
the farmer* of the South the Import
ance and neceealty of cutting duw i
the cotton acreage for next year.
It la Immaterial whether auch ac
tion Is conalttuttonal or not. It la IM
PERATIVE. Fortunately It la goltm
to he done whether the cotton atate* 1
legialate or not. However, It woulij
have helped materially for all the co’
ton atates to have passed similar laws
to become effective when the aanm
laws were passed by the other ataiv •
legislatures
It would have been worth the mono 1
in educational effect. upon the Bouth |
and the reet of the world as an tndl
cation of how the Bouth was prepat 1
mg to meet the emergency that wan'
thrust upon us by the war.
Here Is out way at least in which
the special eeeelon of the etate legis
latures might hav a helped to cut dow i
Ihe acreage. The governor has hlm
gelf led the way to suggest this mat
ter. It would have been made binding
by the action of the Btata legislator*
of all the cotton stales
LET NO HT ATE INSTITUTION
RAISE COTTON WITH CONVICT
LABOR FOR THE FUTURE TO

KRH OF THE SOUTH. This Is a law
that should be put upon the statute

On this point Oovernor Slaton In u
letter to the prison commission of
Georgia suggeata:
"It la my understanding that If
g larger proportion of foodaluffa
could be raised It could be utilised
and an expense of the maintenance
of tbe department thereby less
ened, If the same amount of cot
ton la raised next vear as this,
and If It Is true that the coal of
production la 10 cent a pound. In
my judgment the price next year
will he lee* then the coat of pro
duction. and therefore It !» to the
general advantage of cotton pro
ducer! that they limit the amount

THE GREEN CAT—Part I.
Old Witch Betto stood In the door
of her cavo i n top of a high mountain.
Old Witch ltetto was very angry.
The people of the village were giv
ing a fete to which she had not been
Invited.
In her cave on the top of the moun
tain she was calling down the rain
and spoiling their fete. Such rain had
never been seen before. The valley
was like a river, and all the pretty
decorations which had been put up
for the fete were spoiled, and the
young people were bemoaning their
lost pleasures.
Hans and Gretchen were to be mar
ried during the fete, and Gretchen'a
pretty eyee were red with weeping.
And so Hans was unhappy because
his pretty Gretchen would not smile.
I ju/r *asST£AO
'at# * fAATA -
"Dry your pretty eyes, llebechen,"
he seld. as he kissed her good night;
"Pll make the sun shine tomorrow if 1
have to climb lo the top of the moun
tain and pull hie old head out of the
clouds."
He had not walked far before he
heard something splashing along be
side him.
"Some poor dog," thought Hans, "Is
trying to find his way home." And
he swung his lantern around, hut In
stead of a dog he saw a huge frog.
"BUCK THE LINE HARD”
Don’t flinch, don’t foul, buck the line hard,
don’t be a mollycoddle.”
This old time appeal of n famous American is
good advice to business men in these times.
Business is no gnmu fot* weaklings.
This i> the time to go after business and go
after it hard.
This is the time to produce, to sell—-TO AD
VERTISE.
Across the line is a goal—the goal of good
times, of prosperity, of the liest business Am
erica has known in n generation.
Eet us paraphrase that quotation and make it
real.
Go after business, don’t falter, advertise—
don't be a mollycoddle.
INDOOR SPORTS - - By Tad
"You are having wet weather,” said
the frog.
Hans was too surprised to reply,
and the frog spoke again.
"Would you like to know how to
stop this rain?” he asked.
By this time Hans had recovered
from his surprise. "Yes,’" he replied;
"how can It be done?”
"If you have the courage to climb
to the top of the mountain," said the
frog, “apd find old Witch Betto, you
can do it. She Is angry because you
did not invite her to your fete, and Is
sending the rain into the valley."
"Then she will not listen to me,"
said Hans.
"No,” replied the frog, “but you can
force her to stop the rain by finding
the green cat.”
"I never saw a green sat, or heard
Of one, either.” said Hans. “Where
can such a cat be found?"
"That is the most difficult part,"
said Ihe frog; "for you will have to
first find the dwarf who is guarding
It. The green cat Ih the only thing
In the world of which the old witch
Is afraid."
"Where does the dwarf live?" asked
Hans, "and why does he guard the
green cat?”
”1 will tell you.” said the frog. "The
dwarf Is old Betto's son, who lives It
a forest on the other side of the moun
tain. and in his cave he has the green
cat, and It Is guarded night and day
by thousands of Insects which fly at
and sting anyone who comes near the
cave.”
Hans thought of Gretchen’s tears
and he aaid, “1 will try. and if 1 fall
no one will be harmed but nie. but If
l succeed everybody in the valley will
be happy.” ’So he thanked the frog
and turned toward the side of the
mountain, where the dwarf lived.
"l’ut tit" In your pocket," said the
frog. “I may be of help to you." Hans
picked him up and put him in his
pocket. It was a long way up the
mountain to the cave of the dwarf,
and Hans sat down on a rock to rest
when he came to the edge of the
forest, for he expected to have a hard
time getting to the green cat which
lha frog told him was Inside the cave.
It was wet and dark, and he had to
tarry * torch all the way, but now the
frog told him he muet extinguish it.
or the dwarf and tbe Insects would
see him.
"The cave Is only a short distance
away," said the frog, “and there Is

always a fire burning near it at night.
Whan you are in front of the cave put
me on the ground.” Hans walked
along very cautiously, and presently
he saw the fire, and in the doorway of
the cave sat the dwarf.
Hans carefully put the frog on the
ground and went nearer. The dwarf
did not see him until he was In front
of him.
He jumped up,* gave a peculiar
whistle, and instantly there arose
what Hans thought at first was thick
THE WAYS OF THRIFT
Copyrighted. 1911, American Society
for Thrift.
UNCLE SAM'S GREAT NEED.
Gov. Carey of Wyoming: "If any
thing can be done to awaken the
knowledge of the Importance of thrift
and the avoidance of extravagance It
would be a benefit to the world. Since
the civil war the population of the
United States has Increased fully two
hundred per cent. This has taken up
much vacant good lands susceptible to
cultivation. People have crowded in
to the cities, but if the inflow to the
cities could be stopped and the coun
try population could be Increased it
would soon make a difference in the
cost of living. The strain on the
producing classes would be much less.
The people of the United States would
live better and 1 believe would be hap
pier.”
Congressman French of Idaho:
"There Is no question that the habits
of the American people are unreason
bly extravagant, and X welcome any
movement that will look to a more
earnest consideration of our ways of
living as Individuals and as members
of a great state. I have no hesitancy in
assuring you my hearty approval of

my desire to co-operate with you."

thrift and its bearing upon the suo

criticisms that can be passed upon
American civilization today is Its spirit
of undue extravagance and luxury. It
seems to me that the chief cause of
the tendency to extravagance In our
country lies in the fact that in a
sense we are In a pioneer state. We
live In a country where wealth is pro
duced easily and we spend It with
equal ease. We are beginning to learn,
however, that our resources are not
infinite and that we must conserve
them ’’
Frank M. Miller, Supt. of Public In
struction for State of Ohio: “I feel
that It Is more a cost of high living
than the high cost of living, due to a
lack of economy. People are no longer
content to live as their fathers did,
and consequently must pay the bll’s.
Modern noclety Is full of waste and
there Is no reason why this was**
should not be stopped. It is the spirit
of the times and should be changed
from the prodigal spirit to that of
thrift.’”
W. L. Ames, Oregon, Wis., President
of the Farmers' National Congress:
"We can scarcely conceive the mean
ing o the oft-suggested city effort to
provide work for the unemployed when
the country and rural element is work
ing Itself nearly to death. lVhere is
the solution of this problem? Even If
we could secure out-door workmen
the lack of indoor servants to care for
such would preclude. ... I be
lieve that more principles of thri.’t
could be incorporated into our public
schoi Is. In the Una of mathematics
striking illustration could be given of
what small earnings and amounts
would accumulate to If prop-r,y guid
ed and invested."

’They aay women should not
vote because they can't go to war
