Admirable System Of Insurance Pre-

In the history of social reform there
Is no piece OF work more remarkable
than the system Of almost universal in
surance for the working classes in
Germany. which was inaugurated by
Bismarck a little more than 20 years
ago. Provision is made by it for sick
ness and accident, and for permanent
disability arising from either OF these
causes or from old age: and its impor-
tance to Germany itself is shown by
the fact that in 1901. out OF a total
population of 57.730,000. over 10000
Oo0 OF workpeople were insured
against sickness. over 1880 900

much, and probably more. We
allude to it merely to confirm
and illustrate an old lesson "a
lesson The News has been teach
ing twelve or thirteen years.
The farmers of the South have
an opportunity which, if rightly
developed, will make them indie
pendent if not wealthy. They
have virtually monopoly in the
production of a staple which the
world must have; a monopoly
given by Nature, and therefore
lawful monopoly. In ways
that are both lawful and ethical
ly right they can use their mo-
nopoly to make the business of
cotton-growing profitable all the
time. 1t is simply the expedient
of adjusting the supply to the
demand. A little consideration
will show that that is not so
hopeless an enterprise as it
seems at first glance. The
worlds cotton requirement is a
pretty fixed quantity. 1t will
buy twelve million bales at
profitable price. But with a
normal season this years acre
age in cotton would have yielded
more than that probably A.
900, 600 bales. That surplus of
2, 900, 900 bales-one-sixth Of the
worlds present need-if sold
along with the rest, must operate
inevitably and exorably to de-
press the price of the 1900, 900
bales below the level of fair
profit.
The solution is, then, to take
count of the worlds stock when
planting time comes and govern
the acreage accordingly. If this
year IA, 900, 600 bales had been
produced every farmer would
have the best of reason next
spring to reduce his acreage at
least 10 per cent. In that event
next years cotton patch ought to
be forty-fve acres, if this years
was fifty, and whatever else the
five-acre remnant might produce
could be counted as a profit.
What if the yield of this reduced
acreage turn out bad? That
would be the misfortune, not of
the grower of cotton, but of the
buyer of cotton goods. The
course of this years mark ct has
proved that. This chance to
win without mourning a chance
to lose is the essence of the OPP
portunity Nature has given to
the Southern cotton grower.
Of course the worlds need of
cotton grows every year; but so
does the new acreage in cotton;
and not only will the new acre
age in cotton continue to gro w
steadily for a number of years,
but the yield per acre is apt to
increase under improved methods
of cultivation, so that the worlds
increasing need affords no reason
why the individual farmer should
put larger proportion of his old
land into cotton. We believe it
is true beyond disputation that
the normal acreage in a norm al
season will yield more than the
worlds normal need. 1t will not
be difficult to learn the dictate of
exceptional circumstances. The
quantity of cotton on hand when
planting time comes next spring
and the general state of the
worlds industrial affairs are
factors which the intelligent
farmer will not fail to take into
account when he comes to de-
termine how much of his land

JEENY'S NEW DRESS.

Jenny had waited long time for
her new dress, and when it arrived,
what was her disappointment to see
an ugly dress that she said wasnt
fit for any girl to wear.
So, one day, she went to the woods
and tore the dress and threw mud
on it, to get it dirty, and then went
home. Her mother looked at the
dress, but did not say word. Jenny
wondered at this. The next day 4
package came, with note for Jenny
saying: Here is the pretty dress that
you were expecting, but you cannot
have it unless you have kept the
other neat and clean"
Jenny was so sorry that she tore
the old dress that she went to her
room and stayed there all day; she
did not want her mother to see her.
The next day she was going to a
party; so she put on the torn dress
and went downstairs. Jennys mother
felt so sorry for her that she let her
have the new dress.

did not begin to get it right away.
When mother went out to the kisch-

Then, in naughty fit of anger, she

crumping the fresh, clean pages.
while poor dolly went down with
crash that came near breaking her
china head The balloon bounded
across the floor and bumped against
kitty's pink nose as she lay asleep
on the rug. The cats green eyes
were wide open in an instant, staring
at the big, round red thing lying on
the carpet close by. He soon rose TO
get a nearer view, and, walking ell
around the balloon, shifted at it dain-
tily.
Then he gave it gentle pat with
his paw and jumped little when the
balloon rolled to one side.
Looking at the balloon, with his
head cunningly on one side, kit would
pat it first with one paw, and then.
bounding after it as it rolled about,
tap it with the other paw. By and
by he gave it such smart tap that
his sharp claw pierced the rubber.
and the balloon burst with loud
pop. Such a surprised pussy cat you
never saw. He spit and jumped to

ing out his tail from fright. Mabel
jumped, too, just a tiny bit and
then she laughed so merrily that her
