The subject OF the war In Europe is
all engrossing. Nothing in human af-

more attention and consideration, but
we must not forget that even so we
have our own affairs to attend to, our
own livings to make and our own bills

the war and the changes that may re-

whole attention is absorbed in the
movement OF the armies across Bel

to have no time for anything else.
Meanwhile he is neglecting his own
affairs and his own business, and
everybody's business is running to
seed.
There is nobody who can help Euro.
pean conditions. They are likely to
drift along and probably increase in
horror as time passes. But in the
meantime the affairs of the rest Of the
world must be attended to. We must
buy and sell, eat and sleep, work and
even play.

else than to watch with feverish in.

look uPI /,

Let Texas look up, ana De Joyous.
She has a right TO hold her head high.
For the rainbow OF hope never has
shone so bright over Texas.
Though Europe 90 on in her wan.
ton folly and drench in blood her fer
tile fields; though she continue to
wreck the commerce she has been one
hundred years building; though she
temporarily upset the financial ex-
changes OF the world
But she cant hurt Texas-not for
long. For a war-torn world tackled
Texas Just at the wrong time. Her
cotton crop is coming in. The pods
OF wealth on a half million farms are
just breaking open.
And Texas can acclaim aloud TO the
world that she is sufficient unto her
self.
The Dallas Dispatch is In particu-
larly good position TO Judge Of just
what is going to happen in the next
few months, because daily II comes
in contact with those wanting work
and those all over the State who want
workers.
The cotton picking season has not
yet started in earnest, but everywhere
calls for help are going up. From
Brown County and scurry County,
from away out around Abilene, from
the Panhandle and all the Western
country the cry is for men to help
gather the biggest cotton crop in
years.
There will be work in the country
for every man In Texas who can do
that kind OF work. And those who
cannot will find work TO do. where
others. who can pick cotton, have
left II.
And Il is as sure as anything that
there is going TO be plenty OF money
for the farmers and the cotton is not
going to be sold either. In every sec
ton OF the State warehouses are going
up or are soon to go up.
It was a glad message Secretary
McAdoo sent to Texas when he said
cotton warehouse receipts would be
collateral for rs per cent Of their
value. Know what that means?
It simply means that the Texas
farmer is going TO be able TO get real
ly more money on his cotton as soon
as II is stored than he has been able
TO get in many years OF low prices
when he sold II out and out
And just wait until that crop is
stored. Just let the farmers OF Texas
say to the world, Now. we have nc
cotton to SELL" Watch the price be
gin to mount higher and higher
Twelve cents. fourteen cents. sixteen
cent cotton-maybe twenty-cent cot
ton. And then Texas will sit bacl
and folds its arms and take its time
about selling the largest crop in III
history locked up In warehouses.
Texas viii dictate to the world al
Just what figure she can wear cottor

Uncle Samuel is going to see that the
farmers have plenty Of money.
He is going TO give the money Il

crops-wheat. oats. corn. maize. al

AN AWAKENED PUBLIC.

Mayor higgins of Waco has called
a very important meeting OF the COM
mercial and agricultural interests OF
that community for the discussion Of
subjects OF vital interest to the COM
munity welfare. Secretary Mcknight
of Bryan has been invited and the OBJ
feet OF the meeting and the questions
to be discussed we're stated In the In
ritation TO Mr. Mcknight as follows:
Waco. Tex. Sept. Z. 1914.
Secretary Bryan Commercial Club.
Bryan. Texas.
Dear Strive have called a meeting
at the blue room Of the city hall, We'd
nesday, September ., at o'clock, OF
the commercial and agricultural inter-
ests OF Waco and McLennan County
and we should be glad to have you
present at. that meetinf The purpose
of the meeting is to take up three
propositions, as follows:
First. Consider the matter OF urg-
ing upon the Governor and Legisla-
ture the Importance OF repeating the
law prohibiting dealing in cotton fu-
lures.
Second. Take up the question OF
the matter OF getting immediate
money on cotton and fixing the price
at, say. ten cents. in some way that
win protect the consumer.
Third. To appeal to the Senators
and Congressman to get President
Wilson again to undertake the media
ton OF the warning Nations in Europe.
This is a very important meeting
and would be glad to have your at
tendance. Yours very truly.
J. w. HIGGINS.
The three questions named show
the people OF Waco are thoroughly
alive to the greatest and most vita
issues now confronting the people II
is a hopeful sign to see this interest
on the part of the people. When the
people sleep the ship of state may
veer far from the charted and we'll de
fined course, but when they ar,
aroused the old ship will never ge
far wrong before the alarm is giver
and the signals sounded to shift tn,
course and reverse the engines.
The Eagle is particularly glad L
see the people become interested II
the subject OF dealing in cotton fu
lures to the extent that II is beinl
assigned as a subject for discussion
at meetings like the one to be he'll,
in Waco. This is indeed an importan
subject and one on which our great
est statesmen. editors and economist
widely differ. Many believe II to b,
crime against the cotton growers o
the country and the greatest impedi
ment in the way OF higher prices
while others are equally as positiv,
II is the only influence that contrib
utes to price boosting and saves III,
farmer from being at the absolut,
mercy Of the buying side.
The Eagle hopes to see II thorough
ly threshed out and forever settled
