HELPING OTHERS.

In Club Notes recently asked that
anyone who knew Of . good home
remedy for any of the ills Of life
should tell me OF it SO that might
tell all of the readers. Some who may
need just that remedy will read it and
be grateful to you for many years for
the kindly help which you have given
Not long ago there was meeting
here at the headquarters Of the club
Of some of the more earnest and
thoughtful members, and some of the
noted men and women who have sub
scribed to the special report OF the
meeting expressed the belief that the
Home Health club has been and is
now one of the most powerful factors
for good that has appeared for many
years. Time, labor and expense have
not been spared to make the club
work the most helpful and practical
possible, and while you and may
never know who nor how many suf-
fering ones we may help, yet we have
the consciousness of having given to
suffering ones the means which have
been tried and tested, of relieving
pain.
For seven years this work has
steadily grown until to-day many
thousands are constantly helping 1t
along by telling to others what it has
done for them. The Home Health
club seems to have the faculty of in
spring an enthusiasm for health and
right living which is resistless. | do
not claim to have discovered all OF
the secrets of perpetual youth, but
have been able to not only grow young
er, stronger and healthier myself. but
to help others do the same thing.
Good health enables one to succeed be-
cause there will be enthusiasm to
back up the energy and fresh rich
blood to the brain which supplies the
ideas, master at the helm of strong
craft sailing steadily forward over the
sea of life, ready at all times to help
the struggling ones who have been
shipwrccked.
1 have always said that enthusiasm
was the glow Of the soul, the lever
which lifts men out Of the rut of
cynicism, pessimism, gossip and doubt
to a higher level than the common
man and give him power fer achiev-
ing desired results, that is almost
God-like in its potency. Given a
sound mind In a sound body any legit-
innate object within the range of hui
man abilities is possible, and the man
who is determined to have sound
mind in sound body can have It.
The Home Health club will help
any and all, and in many cases during
the past years has turned despair into
Joy and dependency into brightness
and happiness. Life in it's fullness,
with gladness and happy faces, hope
for future and helpfulness to others is
the portion of the Home Health club
members. The watchword Of the club
has always been: "Pass It On" You
have been helped. Tell it to others.

has had the effect of diverting
large shipments which have
heretofore gone across the CONT
nent to Atlantic ports, and in re-
taliation the lines between Chi
cago and New York have radi-
cally reduced the grain tariff be-
tween those two points. This is
done. of course, with a view of
diverting grain shipments from
gulf ports to eastern Atlantic
ports. The grain export trade
from such ports as New Orleans
and Galveston has grown and is
increasing at a rapid rate.
This rate war can hardly result
in any substantial advantage to
the ChicagO-New York lines.
Natural conditions favor southern
ports. AS the Washington Post
says: Export grain seeks the
southern outlet because it can go
that way more quickly and more
cheaply. 1t is a question of
miles and minutes and freight
traffic, like most other things in
this world, moves along the line
of least resistance. The South
is destined to get an increased
amount of the grain shipments
from the great agricultural
states of the Mississippi Valley,
just as it is certain to play a
dominant part in the manufactu-
ring industries of the country as
her resources are developed and
her natural advantages appre-

individuality, pluck and com
mon sense are as essential to
successful farming as to any
other occupation or profession.
This fact has been firmly estab-
lished by the course of Charles
w. Heard, a prominent farmer
of Wilkes county. His foresight
led him, two years ago, to adopt
practically the same programme
as that outlined by the Southern
Cotton Association. Subsequent
events have indicated his wis
dom and he can afford to snap
Ibis fingers at a stubbornly bear
ish cotton market.
The story of Mr.. Heard, as
related in The Constitution a few
days ago, should certainly elicit
the thoughtful interest of
planters similarly circumstance
who find themselves facing de-
cidedly difficult problems. When
he came to the conclusion that
the a~ll-cotton policy was founded
on folly. he made up his mind to
reduce his cotton acreage so per
cent-AND DID IT. The outcome
of his shrewd methods is shown
in the following eloquent sum-
mary:
On Is acres of bottom land he
raised AS bushels of corn, 1000
pounds of fodder and 1900
pounds of shucks. The total
cost of producing this crop was,
according to his itemized account,
$76.5 SO. The fodder he sold at
IS cents per hundred pounds,
which Melted him $3.50; the
shucks brought, at 50 cents per
hundred, $23, making $75.5O
which he received for the fodder
and shucks, which was only 81
less than the cost of producing
the entire crop of corn, fodder
and shucks.
On a three-horse farm Mr..
Heard raised twenty-five bales
of cotton, which he disposed of
when the price ranged around
the 1O-cent mark. His cotton
crop being a surplus crop, he
added the proceeds therefrom to
his bank account. With no corn
to buy for another year, with a
neat bank account and a smoke
house full of home-raised meat
that will last until next Christ
mas, Mr.. Heard can sit at his
family fireside with calm resig-
nation, while his brother farmers
are devising ways and means for
bringing about a better price for
their one and only crop-cOttOn.
Here is objective demonstra-
ton of the profit and feasibility
of Investigation, more convinc-
ing than twenty times the space
occupied in abstract or theoretic
speculation. What Mr.. Heard
has done other farmers owning
their land may undertake and
bring to an equally successful
issue. His enterprise and dis
erection are now rewarded by a
freedom from anxiety that will
enable him to concentrate all his
energies on his work during the
coming season, and make him
absolutely independent of the
bank or the merchant. There
can be little doubt that having
once tasted the infinite content
of this self-reliant state, he will
not be lured again into putting
all his trust in cotton and de-
pending on conditions over which
he has no control to bring him
an equitable return for his labor.
It does not require even the
