EVERYBODY Wants Cotton.

Boston Transcript: The south in
ante-bellum days believed cotton was
king and from Charleston would
rule the earth. In the procession that
paraded the streets of that city. after
the signing of the ordinance of seces-
sion, was displayed a bale of cotton
inscribed: All the world wants it,
Cotton is not king" but all the world
wants it, to judge from the persistent
efforts of great manufacturing nations
abroad to develop additional sources
of supply. Russia is stimulating cot
ton growing in central Asia by govern
mental assistance. The British gov
eminent guarantees the interest on
SIS, 900, 900 invested by British cot
ton spinners' in the Soudan. Empire
grown cotton is now the cry of a GER
tain element of British capitalists, but
the response does not threaten an early
and noticeable reduction Of the de-
mand for the American article. The
aggregate of all empire grown cot
ton received in England in the past
twelve months was less than 5000
bales. a. drop in the bucket of British
consumption.

THAT is very kind of you. nee read Of a little boy who learned to
make baskets. The boys name was Michel. and he lived in a tiny cottage In
faraway Russia" said daddy.

she worked for her little boy and his sister Anne. She worked so hard,
though. that at last she became Ill, and she was able to work no more.
Then little Michel who was a strong, clever boy for his age said to her:
4 know how ito plat rushes to make mats and baskets Plenty of these ushes
grow in the marsh. can make baskets that people will buy from me-
Now, the baskets which he made were very pretty and quite different
from any which were shown in the neighborfng town where he went to sell
them. People paid him q good price for them. He went home and made more
and in a short time had many orders for his baskets.
Zone evening Michel went ito the swamp to get rushes and found that
some n else had cut away all these plants and carried them off. s
getting late. he hurried to It,
"When be reached the marsh he began to ut the PUSHES but raj stopped
by a tiny man in green who wore a cap Of plated rushes.
This is my marsh. Why are you cutting these rushes? he asked.
Then Niche told how he needed them to make baskets to sell, for his
sick mother and little sister had n o n else to work for them, and this vas
all he could do to earn money for food.
"For such as you the little mar said. I have rnshes to spare Take
these o. vii find them better than the mes you have cut And he filled
MicheTs arms with the finest rushes.
The boy found the PUSHES grow heavier and heavier until he could
scarcely reach home with them. AS he threw them o the floor they tnghd.
Instead Of being green they were yellow, and when his sister picked one up
she cried:
why. see 1t is a gold rush! So it was. and when they looked at the
rushes they found them all to be solid gold. The little mn in green

Mr.. Harding does not believe that
there should be arbitration. He advis-
es a direct negotiation with Colombia.
He frowns on arbitration because of

To arrive at a settlement Of this ma
ture, Mr.. Harding proposes q frank

Such public negotiations would be

1t is desirable to be on good terms
with Colombia. Secretary Of State
Bryan indicates hopefulness of an ear
ly and amicable settlement of the dis
pute. This is encouraging. Colombia,
the nearest and richest corner of

Mexico, and possessing tremendous
u~ndeVeloped resources. leads the
Spanish-speaking republics in their
antipathy to US reused by this burn

FRIDAY, OCT. 10, 1918.
e s.

It must have been a happy
moment for bird lovers and
those active in Audubon society
circles when they noted in the
press dispatches that under the new
federal Underwood tariff law aigrettes
and other bird plumage arc forbidden
from importation. The movement for
bird protection in the United States
and in fact throughout the world had
it's beginning about fifteen years ago.
Finally after a decade and a half of
persistent effort legislation has been
secured. 1t must do the bird lovers
heart good.
Probably the greatest cruelty ever
exhibited in the millinery carnage was
the killing OF aigrettes. These birds
are only valuable during the nesting
season when that delicate plumage ap-
pears on the mother bird when their
young are only a few days old. The
maternal instinct Is so strong in these
beautiful creatures that they refuse to
leave their little ones in times of peril,
even though it is not the 1edglirg s
that are being sought. Fighting for
the protection Of their precious ones
while lowering closely yer their
nests, they remain to be dubbed to
death by the vandals of commerce.
The infants are left to perish for they
are valueless. And all for the vanity
Of women!
If the Underwood tariff law has no
other commendable feature it will at
least have done one great good in
prohibiting the further importation Of
aigrettes or any other bird plumage
for millinery purposes. Together with
this schedule of the Underwood tariff
law ard the provision of the Mclean
migratory bird law prohibiting the
destruction of in~sectivorous birds in
this country, much good has been &C
compIished by the present n last
congresses for the protection of AM
erican wild bird life.

LIBRARY NOTES

Library hours, 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. daily
except Sundays, when the reading room
is open from 2 to s D. m.
During the past week 1913 new books
have been added to the children's room
ana the faces of the little people as
they discover a new lot of books are
a JOY to behold. No part of library
work yields such pure delight nor gets
such sure and lasting results as the
work with the children. Did you say
you had never been in the children's
room! 1t Is open every afternoon from
fcog TO 6:$O p Pom m. and on Saturdays
daily invited to look in there any day
and see for yourself just how ~attrac-
tive this room is getting to be. We
aim to give your children nothing but
the most wholesome, uplifting, and
finest literature possible to this age,
and the literature that has been been
an inspiration to all the former ages.
wouldn't that interest you?
The rental collection has received a
great growth also. during the past
month. There have been sixty-three
books added during that time and the
hction readers of the city are enjoying
the many fascinating novels that have
been published this fall. Among the
more popular ones, the following may
be mentioned:
Call of the Cumberlands,
Heart of the Hills,
Heart of the Night Wind,
Inside of the Cup,
Iron Trail,
Laddie,
Otherwise Phyllis,
P~ollyanna,
v. VS. Eyes,
Virginia.
Activity in all branches of library
work is becoming apparent, more bor-
rowers daily, greater numbers in tho
reading ROOM, students with reference
questions, and women's clubs looking
up material for papers, etc. All indica-
lions are for a busy winter.

Not q LAWYERS Job,

Chicago Evening Post: Do you re-
member the typical United States
marshall Of our early days?
There he stood, a square, two-flsted
figure of a man, at the head of an
armed posse. Slow of speech, but
lightning quick Of thought and deed,
A man Of action, he was. A soldier,
policeman, diplomat and master, all
rolled into one.
Such a nan we needed in train-rob-
Der days and in bank-dynamiting days.
Sen. J. Ham Lewis wants to have
all marshal appointments given to
lawyers. He is dead wrong. We can
hire lawyers when we need them, but
we canno always put our hands upon
a man of action when we have ia
have him.

took vigorous action to procure a food

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Republicans See Democratic OUTRAGE.

Republicans See Democratic Outrage,
Pittsburgh Post: In exemptirs
deputy revenue collectors and deputy
marshals from the classified civil serV-
ice, republicans in congress accuse the
democrats of committing IAN outrage
on the civil service commission" Their
Indignation is due to the fact that a
few Of their number will have to stand
aside for the benefit Of democrats.
Hence, to favor a democrat is an out
rage on a republican. But, after all,
it is not an assault on the civil serv-
ice system. Guilt for that practice
belongs on the other side, AS the
record Of the past administration
shows.
