WHY THE APPREHENSION 7

Secretary of the Treasury McAuoo declares there is no cause TOT nye- ter. .asupon the part of the cotton pro- duser. The federal official is douo'- lesss, .ccrrect. While the situation oh the surface anaay sppar bit "chop- nv glance beheath win. show there ls likely to be a greater demand TOT cotton ill few months than ahere has been in recent years. The Amer ican mills will soon be working over time. and there is every reason to pe- ueve the British mills will soon De doing the same thing. While the mar kets of Germany and France may pc cut off. the fact that this is the case will accrue to the benefit of the United States, which proposes 10 grasp the opportunity by establishing merchant marine to carry American products abroai.
 South American countries accus- toned to dealing with Europe are al ready looking to the United States for their supplies. This means that markets hitherto practically closed to the United States, because we did not try 10 open them, will become customers of Uncle Sam. Then the European war will not last always. And when peace has come, the coun- tries whose industries have been inn poverished must needs stock up from Uncle Sam's store.
 Insofar as the present situation is concerned-the financing of the cot ton crop-there is no need to worry. There is now at work in Washington committees of Southerners evolving a plan whereby the government may extend aid to the grower in retain ing control of his cotton until the de- mand sure to come is reality. Never has the Southern cotton grower especially tine small farmer received greater consideration from the nation than now. And with men like MObley Tomlinson, Nivens and Well up there at Washington working with the treasury officials it stands to reason that plan that will meet the i'm mediate needs of the small cottol grower and the large cotton grower will be enyolved. And the administra- tion has already indicated through Secretary McAdoo that whatever plan is decided upon will receive backing from the government.
 So it may be seen the situation is not at all as bad as the timid oues apprehend With the government ready to recognize cotton warehouse receipts as the basis for the issuance of currency, the farmer should have all the cash he needs and yet still bt in control Of his cotton; such con trol as will enable him to sell when ever he deems the price right.
 Look up; not down. The few clouds upon the horizen of prosperity have such silver Things that the clouds can bal ely be perceived.

SERVIANS ASK AND
 GIVE NO QUARTER
War to the Death Is Plan of Revenge
 for Austrian Outrages.

Paris, Aug. 25.-That Servia is pre- pairing a war of no quarter against her enemies is indicated in a note sent by Servia to the French govern ment protesting against the alleged order from the headquarters of the Austrian army to burn Servian crops and to fire Servian villages all along the Austrian line of march,: :
 This note says further that in view of Austrian cruelties to Servian troops it will be very difficult to restrain the Servians from measures of revenge and that the Servian government finds itself constrained to take all mea- sures of reprisal compatible with in- ternational law.

The Dawn of Christianity
 As Described ill THE NEW TESTAMENT Translated from the Original Greek.

23. In the resurrection therefore. when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
 | A. And Jesus answering said un- othem, Do ye not therefore err, be- , cause ye know not the scriptures neither the power of God? i 25. For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. 26. And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? 27. He is not the God of the dead but the God of the living: ye there fore do greatly err. 2S. And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning to- gether, and perceiying that he had answered them well, asked him Which is the first commandment of all?
 29. And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is Hear, Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
 30. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind and with all thy strength this is the first commandment
 31. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as myself. There is none other com mandment greater than these.
 32. And the scribe said unto him, We'll master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
 93. And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understand ing, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.
 34. And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him Thou art not for from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
 B. And Jesus answered and said while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?
 36. For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool
 37. David therefore himself call eth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
 3S. And he said unt othem in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutation in the marketplaces,
 39. And the chief seats ill the syna- gogues, and the uppermost rooms al feasts:
 40. Which devour widows houses. and for pretence make long pray CTS: these shall receive greater dam nation.
 Al. And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
 42. And there came a certain pdoT, widow, and she threw in two mites. which make farthing.
 43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verify I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury.
 A. For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

OUR OPPORTUNITY.

Naturally. as Christians we deplore the European conflagratioa. The use- lessness of extfnguishing so many lives; of wrecking such destruction of property and of destroying commerce, industry and the progress of science and art makes one despair. But the European war will do more to de- vel0p and enrich America than the industrious Americans could have achieved in a decade. It will teach

PARCEL POST ELIMINATES '-HE
 MIDDLEMAN.

Officials of the United States Ge partment of agriculture have been testing out the parcels post as a means of marketing egges and have found it highly satisfactory. The de- partment has shipped 466 lots. con- sisting of 9,131 eggs to varlous parts or the nation and upon arr:val at destination. only S72 eggs, or three and one-half per cent of :,,e total were broken. Ten dozen eggs caa be shipped in one container distance Of l5O miles at cost of AZ cents oer dozen. This includes the cost of transportation and container.
 Arkansas postal authorities advise that the farmers and farmers wives of this state are utilizing the parccls post extensively in selling farm p-o- ducts direct to the consumer and ex- ceiient results have been obtained.
 Last winter when eggs were being sold by retailers at from 50 to s5 cents to the consumer the farmers were only receiving 20 and 25 cents per dozen for their ptoduct, giving the middleman from 30 le 10 cents on each dozen eggs he handled, The parcel post system of marketins en- tirely eliminates the middlcman s profit .s al and divides the profit of the mdddlenian among producer anl con sumer.

Some cities prosecute the money lenders for charging wage-e -earners outrageous rates of interest for cash loaned on their salaries and wages of city employees and workers. Pine Bluff is now forcing it's city employees to sell their orders for 80 cents on the dollar. It is surprising that the standard of efficiency of the public service is as good as it is.

Looks to Us for Grain.

Rome, Aug. 25.-Although Italy has on hand grain sufficient to last several months, the closure of the Dardanelles. through which the bulk of importations comes. and the sus- pension of eXportation from Argen- tina compel the Italian people to turn to the United States for future provisions. The government had all ready received offers from the Amer ican market. and the transportation of grain will be facilitated, as Italy will assume the war risks.

he cautiously arose to resume his e-
forts.
He scanned the cliff. Just above
his head was another projection which
promised a foothold could he but
reach it, and burying his fingers In a
crack and finding an inch wide sup
port for his foot he drew himself SLOW
ly upward. The slightest slip OF hand
or foot meant instant death now, and
his fingers gripped the stone until
they grew white and bloodless from
the strain. Slowly he raised himself,
found another grip and another tiny
support and with an effort that sent
the blood surging to his temples
brought himself gasping n notch
higher. Here again the ascent became
a trifle less %precarious for a ways, and
another half-hour found him within a
few feet of the summit. Here OF all
places during the ascent he came the
nearest to plunging the whole distance
to the rocks below, but a last des-
perate struggle saved him and veal
and trembling from the supreme eff.
fort he threw himself down safely
over the edge. For a moment he rest
ed, then cautiously arose and looked
about.
Upon a far distant western peak the
sun was balanced like a broad gold
coin poised delicately. It's horizontal
a y swept the plateau upon which he
stood, but Of the heat that had grid
died him during that day Of frenzied
pursuit scarce a vestige remained In
the thin air. Oh, that awful pursuit!
His brain had seethed as a cauldron,
his body reeled like a drunken mans,
his numbed limbs responding to the
driving power of his will as mechanic
ally as the unfeeling pistons Of a ma
chine; the uncanny flying monster
bearing the woman Of his heart ever
close before his glazed eyes, while
March. his accursed rival. had ridden
upon his back and borne him down
like an old man Of the sea. AT times
it had seemed as though he would go
mad. March! Had he shot him? Yes,
1t dimly seemed to him that he had.
and had left him dead upon the rocks
below. What of it! Had 1t not been
that he had been compelled to carry
him on his back all day he would have
reached this height an hour before
perhaps would have reached 1t In ad-
vance of the flying one and been pre-
pared to meet him as he alighted.
What mattered a dead man or two in
a case like this when a dragon was to
be slain and a princess-his princess,
to be rescued! He laughed quickly,
sharply, a single explosive sound more
like the bark of a beast than the
sound Of a human voice. He turned
and faced the plateau.
Desolation. 1t stretched away in a
broad sweep on either hand, chaotic,
volcanic, numbered with the left owe
debris Of mountain m%aking-a junk
shop Of the unuseable fragments of
creation. Boulders little IS pebbles,
huge as houses were strewn on every
side, scattered broadcast, grouped in
piles, heaped in monuments. Barren
spaces lay between them. No living
thing invested the solitude save him.

Of the insane mind that lay behind the

Tolliver quivered like a wind
thrummed reed.
Then II you will not listen to me

spoke, and Alan Keeling threw up his
hands and came crashing down upon
the rocks, while the other %crouching
like a cat over its felled prey watched
him as intently. But no sound came
from the fallen one, no movement, and
thrusting his revolver back into his
pocket he went picking his way over
the jumbled mass, his lips muttering
and face working as his glowing eyes
sought the dizzy way up which he had
pulled himself in that desperate hunt
Of three years before.

GREASE AND WARMTH

Keeping out the coda troublesome
job just now-is a business which an.
cages the attention of all save the ma.
tives OF the tropics, and some savage
or semi-sivilized races have hit upon
curious methods. The commonest
practice, apart from wearing furs, is
that of greasing the body. All the arc.
tic tribes do this, and In Tibet they go
further and smother themselves from
head to foot with a thick black oily
pigment.
