Why People Should Own and Read

they Intended to ask. when men and
women should read instructive or
informing books.
Every one reads novels for the
purpose OF pleasantly passing an
idle hour. Novels, however, have
a higher charm. Many novels give
us a fascinating and instructive
study of characters of men and wo-
men, and some of them are even
philosophical. without violating the
canons that should govern their
writing.
The persistent and consistent
reading of books is necessary To in

as to the causes and the origin and
progress Of social and economic
forces.
The whole object Of reading may
be stated to be the cultivation OF the

particular result of such an increase
of culture is to attain 10 a higher

Consider the Hay Crop.

Progressive Farmer.
While we all hope the great Eu-
ropean war will end soon, it is dan
gerous to assume that there is any
real certainty of its early termina-
ton. What we must do is to take
no chances on the future, but ar
range now to meet the situation
with overflowing barns and smoke
houses, out of which the home de-
mand may be amply supplied, with
a goodly surplus to be sold at war
time prices. The first step in such
a live-at-home program must logi-
cally consist in an abundance of
hay and rorage-crops that have al
ways paid we'll and that in most
cases now must either be produced
at home or gone without. In pre-
pairing for an abundant harvest Of

Curtailment by Law.
Laurens Advertiser.

Laurens Advertiser.
Indications now point to a surplus
of at least six million bales of cotton
this year. Should the average ext
year be reduced as much as not half,
with anything like fair season we
would still have around fourteen
million bales in 1915. Should the war
stop even within three months, II is
hardly probable that this whole
amount would be consumed by the
mills that season. Assuming though
that Ia 100000 bales could be used
next year the surplus carried over
from this year will necessitate a
curtailment of not less than one
half. 1t would be the part OF pru-
dence to curtail ttree-rourtns.
While on every hand IT is agreed
that curtailment is necessary, il is
by no means assured that any con-
siderable curtailmen Will take place.
This is because the reputation Of the
cotton farmer for cSncerted action
for mutual benefit is bad. The world
does not yet believe he intends to
cuTtail, in spite of the low price now
prevailing and the numerous meet
ing that have been held. This disbe-
lief is based on the record Of the past

such studendous size that there ex-

If 1t is crime to murder one man,
it is crime to slay a thousand. If il
is crime to slay in private life, it is

Cooperate With the Teachers.

"One Who Notices." in Augusta
Chronicle.
Please permit my using your val
liable paper to make timely sug
gestion to parents, also teachers, to
try and cooperate with each other
for the coming school year. that is
just commencing.
If child comes home with the
complaint that, Teacher punished
me today and / hadn't done any
thing" and So-andSo" did this, that
or the other thing. and nothing was
done to him." or MY teacher beat
me with a rule" etc, tell your child
you will investigate the trouble, and
if he is in the wrong you will punish
him severely for bringing home tales
and misrepresenting things to you.
If this were done more parents
would find far less complaints. If
a child fails TO learn lesson, is
punished. or kept in. don't blame
the teacher. Did you see that your
child came in from play and stud
led? Did you overlook them? If
not, naturally you can expect a
failure i'm their lessons and a
punishment from the teachers.
l actually know of case of a
small boy who was such a terror his
parents gave him a regular old-time
beating every day. l overheard the
father say, You are such a terror,
liar and good-for-nothing, somebody
should beat the hound out of you or
half kill you!"
A month later l heard his teacher
gave him a rap or two with rule
for downright impudence. The
father went to the school and de-
manded an apology from the teach
er; said the child had said, Teach
er beat me and 1 didn't do thing, -
etc.
Parents, stop and think how your
children annoy and harass you all
day at home; how you long for
school to commence so you can have
a moments peace. Remember,
when your children walk into a
school room they don't change
they are sometimes worse Renlem-
bcr this when the complaints come
in. Ask the teachers what is the
trouble; Give the children to un-
| derstand you don't care for tales
Don't encourage tale-bearing, anu
you will find better children.
\ word 10 teachers: Study your
pupils; see if they are nervous, i'll,
or if there are any good reasons for
their conduct. Warn them first
I'm not teacher God forbid for
it takes parents for this-but
have visited schools, been in homes
| where children tell n tale and if a
parent becomes angry and says, "Tll
just see that teacher and tell them
not to dare punish you again, or hit
you" The child then becomes en-
couragad and from handslap he
relates tale OF being cruelty
| beaten.
A spoiled child makes a poor citi
zen. So, remember, parents, and
suppress the first stories and there
will be happier parents, children anC

a harmony meeting at the White
House. 1t was their first meeting
since their talk in 1911 in the pres
ence of Henry Watterson. editor of
The Louisville Courier-Journal.
which gave rise to Mr. Watterson's :
later attacks on Mr.. Wilson and led
Mr.. Harvey to support Speaker
Champ Clark for the presidential
nomination.
Mr.. Harvey called at the White
House at the invitation of Mr. Will
son to discuss the European situa-
tion and the fall campaign. In the
last issue of his magazine, Mr..
Harvey praised the Presidents at
titude since the outbreak of war in
Europe and suggested that he wait
patiently for the psychological mo-
ment to urge peace.
The President and Mr.. Harvey re-
manned in conference for more than
an hour. 1t was said at the White
House later that the meeting was
most friendly and that past diff
ferences were not referred to. Mr..
Harvey said he had called at Mr..
Wilson'S request to discuss public
questions, principally the European
situation and that "as a matter of
course" the talk was friendly.
