WEEMS A. SMITH. 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 COMPETE WITH THE FREE FARM KRH OF THE SOUTH. This Is a law that should be put upon the statute book* of aarery Southern state. 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 of cotton for Itll." Not only the prison,commission hut •very etate Institution and every coun ty In tha etate that employe convict* In farming operations should alec be put on nolle# that for the future no more cotton In the Bouth shell h# ralaed by convict labor Why should convict labor be allowed to Compete with the Southern farmer In raising cotton when meet of the etate* have law* that prevent convict mad* goods being sant on lb* market to compete with free labor V The states and the count!** should M least keep away from the cotton market for the future all convict ralaed cotton Tha demand la too strong to allow this sort of thing to be continue) for the future.

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 IHt AUUUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, «a. 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 the for Thrift and my desire to co-operate with you." Governor McDonald of New Mexico: ”1 fully realize the Importance of thrift and its bearing upon the suo cess of our people generally. I am heartily in accord with the work that is being done and am anxious to assist all I can.” M. L. Burton, President of Smith College, Northampton, Mass.: "I feel certain that one of the most severe Southern States Woman Suffrage Conference Word his been received that Mrs. Harriett Stanton Itlatch and Miss Cryatabul Pankhurat will be among the speakers at the Southern States Woman Suffrage Conference In Chat tanooga, November 10th and 11th.

Tomorrow’s Story "The Green Cat” (Continued). 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." School of Pedagogy. Elbert Hubbard said: : ’They aay women should not vote because they can't go to war ns soldiers, hut long after the earth has received to her bosom the thousands killed the women have to survive and clean up the mess.” Many of the women attending the mass meeting In St. Louie, wore cot ton gowns.
