 The continuing troubles of the Cuban government have revived talk about the necessity for third and last Amer lean intervention In the affairs of that republic. Although categorica1ly de- nied. 1t Is nevertheless fact that the troops at Southern forts are being kept at home for no other reason than that they may be ready at any time to embark for Cuba.

crop of cotton, which. however reinu- nerntffve from the standpoint of an immediate cash return, hes not proved much of a balance-maker when from it's total dividends was deducted the essential cost of living.
 Even In the face of this somewhat illogical policy the South has made tremendous headway. We have dupli- cated, at least partially. the Western process of abolishing the mortgage. Southern farmers ~are seeing the folly of 4debt-raised crops, and Southern banks are beginning to feel the stini. ulus of deposits from the men who till
 But we are merely on the threshold of developments of this nature and scope The day must come when high priced cotton means for the South what high priced wheat means for the West. r We have in this section. virtually in every State. tremendous areas that could porfitab1y be devoted to the pro. auction of wheat and corn and cattle
 In Georgia alone we could develop cattie-raising. Industry which would supply the beef-consuming needs of the Etate and send as well thousands of dollars worth of these products annu- ally to other sections.
 The world must have our cotton. and from the present outlook will pay a fair price for 1t. That Is enc solid. enduring asset upon which we may al- ways build as a foundation stone.
 It is just as well to hail cotton as king. But diversifcation as queen should come mighty close second.

THOUSANDS OF POUNDS
 OF ALL SORTS OF POETRY

Brussels, Aug. 14.-Arrangements have been made for a special train to leave shortly for Paris with a load of 252.OOO pounds of poetry be- queathed to France by the late Count Spoelbroch von Lovenspiel.
 He was an enthusiastic admirer of French literature, and spent the bulk of his fortune in a comprehensive col lection of original manuscripts of the French poets of all ages. and at his death he made his collection over by a will to the French nation.
 Although his death occurred several years ago, the manuscripts have only just been claimed by the French Government. They are to be pre- served at the Chateau of Chantilly.

l time when the poor were not touched by the needs of the innocent and the heipless7 W
 Wards of southern states.
 With hundreds of eager claimants for the children, 1t was hard indeed. to decide. When the problem seefnei to be most difficult a soldier who had fought by tie side of Hood came forward and declared that the ques- ton was not one for families. but for the South to decide; that the chil 1ren of Hood belonged to the South and they should become wards of the Con- federate States. ..
 The South is swayed by the heart. The idea appealed to 1t as worthy of Hood. It was acted on at once.
 Virginia demanded the right to be- come the guardian of one of the or- phahs. Texas demanded the privilege of being made the guardian of an. other, Georgia demanded another. And so one down the line.
 And so. as in the days of old the children of great knights became the wards of the king, the children of Johr Hood, nineteenth century knight, became wards of the Southern States.

 saxe indebtedness.

Atlanta Constitution.
 Describing what dollar wheat has done for the farmers of Nebraska, and the Dakotas. an, Omaha dispatch to The New York Evening Post declares that they have light wagons and buzz gies for use in going to town. and au- tomobiles are by no means uncommon on the farms of the Dakotas. Minneso- ta. Nebraska and Kansas"
 These. too are merely superficial ,fn- dications. They do not convey the true depth of the prosperity that has in the past half decade overtaken the Western States. Tn the majority of them mortgages have come to be an unknown quantity, and banks thfough- out the wheat belt. largely managed by farmers, bulge with the deposits of toilers.
 By way of relative contrast, the South does not show to such good advantage. It Is true that we stArted in hafnpered by the, fearful handicap of the paralysis of reconsttuction. But even this drawback could be hardly more oppressive than the drastic era of debt -plastered crops and farms through which the West passed and from which 1t Is now emerging.
 The real explanation lies in the fact that Southern farmers have single shotted their efforts. As rule they have concentrated on the one money

 One of the things that adds to the turmoil in Cuba is the belief of many Cubans that someone is plotting the downfall of the government, and the annexation of the region to the United States In the opinion of some. the sugar trust is stirring up the annex atfon movement.

Place Your Advertising Agent
On His Mettle

Don't give him contract for from one to three years. A
 Don't say ''For this period. all the advertis- ing place is to be placed through you"
 Make him fight to keep your business as hard as he fights to get it..
 And let the keeping or the getting be decided by comparative results,
 This policy will come like bomb, we know. into the old-tirne agency camps.
 They will say, "How can agents sleep If their business becomes as unstable as that?" You don't want them to sleep-that's exactly the point. You want them to keep to the mark. Make an agent prove, when he solicits your business, that he can outsell the rest.
 And make him prove, so long as he keeps it, that no other concern can outsell him.
 What would be the result if advertisers in general adopted this sensible policy?
 It would simply be this:
 No smooth-tongued salesmen, no improved boasts, no showy ads would go.
 Soliciting expense would be largely wiped out. 1he cost of getting contracts signed would be spent on increasing clients results.

That has been our policy long.
 For nearly ten years, our main expense has been our copy department. The head of 1t re- ceives $l 1000 per week.
 By years of seeking--by sitting hundreds of men--we have gathered around us the ablest corps of advertising men in America.
 Now we are ready to handle advertising without any contract whatever. i We are willing to meet ali corners, and ready to abide by results.
 If any agent can sell more than we. on any account, he can have it.
 On the other hand, We claim entitiement to any account where we can outsel the rest
 There is way to prove an agent out before you make any commitment.
 There is a way to know-beyond any ques- tion--which agency can sell the most goods.
 There is a way to find out, by actual figures. if our able men can improve your results.
 There is a way to get more light than you ever have had on your advertising-hght that may be worth fortune. If you want to know it. please write us, and we will explain the way.
