HELP SAVE FELLOW-AMERICANS.
(Woman's National Weekly

Hundreds of thousands of our fell
low-citizens living in the cotton
growing states OF the South face
absolute want unless they can realize
cash for their years work. In the
South cotton is the staple crop. In
normal times the cotton grower can
mortgage his crop before the seed is
planted, something which cannot be
done with any other crop. But be-
cause of the war in Europe the plant
ers of the South cannot now secure
cash for their cotton. A movement
mas been started to assist the South
ern planters by having individuals
buy cotton, bale at time, so to
speak. The idea is to have everyone
who is able to make the investment
to buy a bale of cotton at 10 cents a
pound. AS cotton bales average 500
pounds, this means an investment OF
$50 for each bale. few large mer-
camille institutions are buying IN
larger lots, but their purchases are
only drop in the bucket. Banks IN
the South refuse to advance cash for
COTTON, and as the farmers, those
who grow the cotton, cannot secure
ready money they not only risk losing
their entire years labor, but they face
hunger and cold during the winter
months. Many wealthy citizens are
like Dives OF old, taking advantage OF
the situation and depressing the ten
ants, who compose the great ma
iority of the cotton producers. In
stead of sending American money
abroad to supply sinew of slaughter
to warning nations the people of the
United States could and should lei
their charity begin at home by
Joining the "buy-a-bale" movement

ST. LUKE.
CHAPTER "a.

Now upon the first day of the week
very early in the morning, they came
unto the sepulchre, bringing thu
spices which they had prepared, ant
certain others with them,
2. And they found the stone rolled
away from the sepulchre.
3. And they entered in, and fount
not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4. And it came to pass, as they
were much perplexed thereabout, be-
hold, two men stood by them in shin

bowed down their faces to the earth
they said unto them, Why seek we the
living among the dead?
6. He is not here, but is risen:
remember how he spake unto you
when he was yet in Galilee,
7. Saying, The Son of man must
be delivered into the hands of sinful
men, and be crucifed, and the third
day rise again.
s. And they remembered his words
8. And returned from the sepul-
chre, and told all these things unto
the eleven, and to all the rest.
10. 1t was Mary Magdalene, and
Joanna, and Mary the mother OF
James, and other women that were
with them, which told these things
unto the apostles.
II. And their words seemed to
them as idle tales, and they believed
them not.
IL. Then arose Peter, and ran unto
the sepulchre; and STOPPING down, he
beheld the linen clothes laid by them
selves, and departed, wondering in
himself at that which was come to
pass.
10. And, behold, two of them went
that same day to village called En-
maus, which was from Jerusalem
about threescore furlongs.
IA. And they talked together of all
these things which had happened

they communed together and reason
ed, Jesus himself drew near, and went
with them. 80
Is. But their eyes were holden that
they should not know him.
II. And he said unto them. What
manner of communications are these
that We have one to another, as We
walk, and are sad?
IL. And the one of them, whose
name was Cleopas, answering sale
unto him, Art thou only a stranger ir
Jerusalem, and hast not known the
things which are come to pass there
in these day?
~. And he said unto them, Wha
things? And they said unto him. Con
corning Jesus of Nazareth, which wa.
prophet mighty in deed and wore
before God and all the people:
20. And how the chief priests an(
our rulers delivered him to be con
demned to death, and have crucifiet
him.
Il. But we trusted that it had beer
he which should have redeemed Isra
ell: and beside all this, today is tn,
done.

our company made us astonished
which were early at the sepulchre;

had also seen a vision of angels
which said that he was alive.

were with us went to the sepulchre

Miss Genevieve Clark, the daugh-
ter of Speaker Clark Of the house
of representatives, who has come for
ward with novel and seemingly
practical plan to aid the southern cot
ton growers in their present distress.
Miss Clark proposed that a national
bargain day in cotton goods be held
in every city and town throughout
the country. She plans to free $10,-
100000 in boarded gold by calling on
10,000,O00 million women throughout
the country to invest 81 each in cot,
ton goods during a week to be set
aside for the purpose in October.
This, she believes, will ltake up the
cotton surplus left by the cutting off
Of the foreign trade by the war.

the Chamber of Commerce or Young

The made in America" idea IS

Before the war it used TO work the
other way. To many people the fact
that an article came from abroad sur

would sometimes stamp their goods

1t would seem a good policy, when
ever two articles appear OF equal
