grew into cramped vegetables. Also

such conditions make aenaemic chill

were smaller and came to maturity
earlier, which is true of children as
well. The pupils in the class were

The first worlds shoe and leather
fair opened in Boston is an industrial
exhibition of great interest. America
is fast becoming the worlds shoe

The concentration of the industry in

THE WORLD is ONE

The brotherhood of man was amply
attested the other day when the bodies
of Arthur S. Cheney, former Ameri.
can consul at Messina, and his wife
were removed from a steamship pier
in Brooklyn, N. Y. One representa-
tive of the collector of the port was
present but none of the State Depart.

eral, State or city government. A
guard of marines had been half prom
ised, but precedent seemed to be lack
ing and they did not appear
But there was a guard of honor,
an impressive one; such a one as few
men have had to follow them toward
their graves" says the New York
World. 1t was furnished by 1000

lasting gratitude for their generosity

Army of Italy-and young men who
have brought to the new country the
offering of their zeal. their patriotism
and their splendid vigor. Not often

Such an exhibition of Latin tact and
the delicacy and warmth of Latin
anection is but another proof of the
manner in which great catastrophies
bring closer together the hearts of
generous humanity the world over.
The lesson should be enduring.

that it brings human suffering and
this very often to worthy people who
have met misfortune of some kind is
only too true.
Yet with all that such statements
as that noticed above are only sensa-
tional fakes. If there are 200 men
and two women who really made this
offer they are frauds. If the offer of
any of them should be accepted they
would back out, or If they didn't, the
person who had given them what
they asked would have trouble on his
hands until he got rid of his volun-
tary slave. 1t is not the people who
really want work very much that
would seek to get it on such an Of
fer, for it is only the dependence of
others for whom he is the breadwin-
ner that could make an honest man
so desperate, and the acceptance of
such an offer would not bring reliet
to his dependents. And no honest
man, having only himself to care for,
would seek work on such terms.
1t is a fact, which many of us have
learned from practical experience
that those who do the .loudest bowling
for work are generally the hardest
to get to do an honest days work
when it is pl divided for them.

silver Greek, Miss, Jan. 30, 1909
My Dear Sir:-
The ravages of the boil weevil in
some sections of Mississippi, the ap-
pearance of 1t in other sections and
the threat of an invasion by it of the
entire State and other cotton states
has to a certain extent put fear and
CONSERVATION into the heart of the
cotton farmer and into the hearts of
those who are dependent upon him and
those upon whom he depends. The
problem presented is new. The farm.
er cannot in his previous experience
ind a lesson that will guide him in
this emergency. The question is of
immense Importance to all who depend
upon the growing of cotton or the COT
ton business. and not only these, but
to financial institutions, land owners
and all business interests as well.
AS 1t Is common danger, so resist
ance must come from united effort.
In immediate effect the boil weevil is
a disaster, but like many misfortunes
that loom large in close perspective.

complusion turning us from worse to
better things. What we need is more
diversiication in farming, but it re-
mains the melancholy truth that this
has not been brought about in any
marked degree. Advice has not per-
suaded, agreements have not bound.
but the boil weevil will compel. The
remedy is severe, but it is sure. II
might be fatal but it need not be and
viii not be. The farmer in the
weeVll districts must realize that the
old order of things has reached its
end and that he must adapt himself
to the new There is a way of es-
cape from the presently threatened
disaster and a road that leads tn even
better conditions. 1t is the plain
hlghway of common sense. From the
experience of others we know that
some cotton can be made in spite of
the boil weevil. Our country is a cot.
ton country and we cannot abandon
cotton raising and prosper. We must
therefore make some cotton. We must
make that amunot that can be made
in spite of the weevil. BY the early
planting of properly selected stalks
and employing other protective meas
ures, and generally by studying and
practicing the suggestions of special
lists qualified to give advice, we know

the individual farmers can cultivate
by these methods and with these re,
suits, is a practical question for the
individual farmer to decide. Ten.

depending upon whether his locality is
