CRAWFORD RETURNS
 FROM ATLANTIC CITY
Optimistic Over Business Situation, But Declines to Make Any
 Formal Statement

George G. Crawford, president of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad com pany returned home yesterday from At lantic city. He was not prepared to make any formal statement for publication about the business situation. The friends of MT. Crawford, however, who went to Tim for opinions found him optimistic.
 He gave it as his opinion that cotton should be held until someone wanted to huv it. and then make that someone pay for it in accordance with the customary usages of business. MT. Crawford be- ueves that there is absolutely no reason for any uneasfness here as to the busl- ness outlook. On the contrary, he said that if the people did not become excited they would profit very greatly by the Eu- ropean war.

One Way to Master Your or,ev,,,s,

One Way to Master Your Difficulties
In the FEBRUARY Woman's Home Com
panion, Charles f.. Jefferson, pastor Of
Broadway Tabernacle IN New York City,
writes an entertaining and helpful article
entitled ''The Uses OF Biography" i'm
which he shows how study of the lives
OF the great is of practical use TO the
individual. Following is an extract:
Life everywhere has tendency TO be-
come monotonous and sordid. We all
fall into foolish ways OF thinking ond un-
healthy ways of feeling, and we need the
healing touch of lofty souls. Fortunately
for us, such souls are always within our
reach. We may live in a city, or in n
hamlet, or i'm an isolated farmhouse
among the mountains or on the plain,
but no matter where we are we can
when evening comes sit down and com
mune with the immortals. The homes
OF the upper four hundred may be closed
to us, but we are always at liberty to
dine with the kings and queens of history.
1t is amazing that so many men and
women throw away their opportunities
to walk and talk with the great If it be
true that a man is known by the company
he keeps, then there is many a person
who has rea son to be ashamed OF himself
a book is nothing but man or woman
and II one invites into his home Aashy
and trivial and vulgar wrters-the scape-
graces and dabblers of literature-he in
dicates by his choices the manner of
person he is. evil company doth cor
rupt good manners" az Paul reminded
the Corinthians long ago, and il is i'm
possible TO associate with men, either in
the flesh or in books, without being
brought somewhat nearer their level.
Many man is to-day pessimistic because
he has read so many diseased and gloomy
hearted authors, and many woman
carries an unhappy heart because Of the
poison injected by the books which she
has read, Life is too short to read any
but the best books, and there are no
better books than those which portray
the career and interpret the character OF
great men.
