TIME FOR ACTION,

IF THERE ever was time when the people Of this country should get to gether it is now.
 The people have been divided by factional warfare and political feuds long enough.
 This country is facing serious business crisis and President Wilson says it is time for business men who know how to take care of themselves to sit down and reason together and meet the situation after the manner Of men who have accomplished great things in the past and who, if they will only get together, are equal to the present emergency.
 The people of the South are a great people. The people of the South arose from the ashes of the civil war "a struggle which spread disaster and ruin throughout this great land. Surely the Southland will not be humbled because her cotton market 1t threatened just at this time.
 The cotton will keep, and while

ATS We'll That Ends We'll.

MT. Green Gill was very much worried man last Saturday He had hitched his mule and buggy in front of the Presbyterian church and short ly afterwards found it gone. All day Saturday and Sunday Green searched, telephoned, telegraphed and worried, still no clue. On Monday he found it in the Pettus X Buford stock lot.
 On Saturday it seems that one of Pettus & Buford's customers wanted to go to Memphis, and MT. Tom Bu- ford directed a negro to take the GUS toner's mule to the lot Not having a description of the mule, the negro took the first one he came to, which proved to be Mir. Gill's. All's well that ends well. Green is out three or four dollars, but his peace of mind and the recovery of his mule has made him happy.

SOME system for holding cotton must be perfected and our citizens and business men must get together and do it. If the government or the bankers who propose to advance
 money are sincere, and The Times be- lieves they are, the cotton must be stored III a protected warehouse, where it can be marked and tagged and where each and every bale may be identifi-d and listed. The cotton will keep, but we must have place to keep it. Now let's cut out so much of this uncertainty and bring this cotton crisis to a focus. The season is advancing and the time to get the money is upon us. We cannot afford to wait on the war any longer.

holding it may produce a stringency for time, there will be better feel ing and greater prosperity all round when conditions again become normal.
 County Judge E. A. Rolfe has just returned from Washington Judge
 Rolfe reports that the representatives | of the people, President Wilson. Sec retary Bryan Treasurer McAdoo and others with whom he talked, are in favor Of helping the South finance the cotton crop, and will advance some money. However. the govern | ment machinery moves slowly and, to use a somewhat hackneyed phrase, the government, like God, is disposed to help those who help themselves.
 Judge Rolfe says it would perhaps be good plan to have the people of St. Francis county come together and approve some plan for storing the cotton crop and adopt system where by receipts against stored cotton might be sued as basis for the ad vance ment of money on the cotton in the bale.
 There is another problem that is al most as big as the cotton problem and that is the seed problem.
 And what disposition is to be made Of the cotton and the seed is occupy ing the attention of farmers, mer- chants and bankers
 Following mass-meeting of the citizens of the county special ses- sion of the Quorum court might be called, or a plan might be settled upon for the levy of special tax for the purpose Of building public ware house to which the farmers could haul their rotton. This special tax levy could be made at the regular meeting of the Quorum court in Oc tober. but worK on the public ware house might be started at once. A public warehouse properly policed would furnish relief to the farmers who want and must draw some money on their cotton and would put the cotton in sight as collateral.
 The nations of Europe are still en- gagged in the drath grapple of war. This war may not last long, but even if it does not, the nations who con- sume the bulk of our cotton, will be greatly weakened as a result, and it will be some time before they get back to work In the meantime the American people and especially the people of the South should look about them and make preparations to be- come independent of these foreign nations,
 This is big proposition Every state throughout the cotton belt should co operate in furthering and making possible prehensive holding plan for the cotton crop. It might not be amiss to hold extra ses sioDs of the legislatures of the cotton states However, whatever is to be done should be done quickly; there is no time to lose
 Let the leaders get together and take some action. It is time the gins were beginning to hum and the oil mills are ready to grind the seed. The farmers and credit merchants need the money and all other lines of business are on the anxions seat await ing developments.

some certain line Of work.
Every boy and girl needs all the
education they can receive. and the
question OF whether or not they will
acquire more than the high school
education must be determined by
each individual graduate.
They must select the profession
which they believe VIII make them
more useful to themselves. their
families and the world at large.
Once this IL determined. the DOS
sibility Of achieving the end they de-
sire. lies only In the greatness Of
their desire.
