THE LUCKY FARMER.

When prosperity has been drawn by unpropi-
tious winds to sunless seas where all is. gloom
where hope, the only medicine of the wretched,
scarce fingers and a people are forced to face an
unpromising future, there is naught left better to
do than strive toikeep a stiff upper lip-an undis-
mayed front-and use every effort to persuade the
spirit of optimism to take possession of the soul
and drive pessimism to the demnition bow-wows.
The planters and small farmers the cotton
growers of this country, all Of whom are in the
South-are face to face with depressing conditions.
But the conditions confronting them are not so bad
as they might be; and, better than that, are far
better than a superficial glance would make them
appear.
That they are now under the cloud of ADVERSE
tvs frown cannot be denied if we would.
But even then their lot is more endurable and
fuller of promise than that of any other class the
country over,
Think of the necessities of life-the things nee
essary to the comfort and we'll being of each and
every son of Adam. Think of the vegetables that

About $500. 900, 900 of Baltimore mo
ney is invested in the south, according
to the statement Of the Manufacturers

Baltimore capital has been heavily in
vested, and it is pointed out that be-
cause of the great development of the
south in recent years it became neces-
sary for Baltimore to greatly enlarge
her facilities for handling trade and
commerce. To meet the situation an
entirely new Baltimore is being built,
and the city is being modernized in
every respect. For the first time in
the history of the world, a city of the
first class is installing a complete new
sewerage and drainage system, with a
modern sewage disposal plant. and also
repaving every street and alley in the
city. All telephone, lighting and pow
er wires are being put under ground,
through a municipality owned conduit
system. A greatly increased water
supply has been provided, and a new
filtration plant of the most effective
modern type. Harbor improvements
having in view a minimum depth of IS
feet of water in all parts of the harbor,
upper as well as lower, are under way.
The railroads are providing greatly ex-
panded terminal facilities at tidewater
since the fire ten years ago here, and
altogether a total of some $500, 900, 900
has been spent on improvements of va
rious municipal, corporate and indivi-
dual kinds, in the work of making Bal
timore's business facilities modern in
every respect. Every businass mar in.

how they can be handled will find this

As to Borrowing on
Warehouse Cotton

DO not borrow money upon your
cotton just because you can. Do
not avail yourself of the oppor,
tunity to put a lien upon your
harvest just because our grand
Democratic Secretary of the Treas.
ury has made such liens possible
and easy. Remember it is the un.
trammeled products that control
the market and not those under
bond to sustain the credit and
solvency of the banks. "T h e
greater the aggregate ofthese loans
at the end of four months term,
the more intense the pressure, as
the greater will be the strain upon

wrecked by forcing cotton on it

Duty of Every American
Citizen Now.

Every responsible citizen of the
United States, in whatever calling
he may be, should lose no time in
adjusting his material affairs to
m eet the economic emergency
created by the temporary para
lysis of civilization in Europe.
The very conveniences with which
civilization has equipped mankind
have begotten a worldwide sensi
tiveness to any action anywhere
interrupting the play of the forces
of civilization. In war involving
directly seven peoples Of Europe,
and indirectly all yeoples of that
continent, the material influences
for the advancement of the human
race have virtually collapsed.
Consequences are already felt in
this country. They will become
more manifest day by day and will
persist for a while even after whole
sale murder and rapine have ceas-
ed in Europe. The people of. the
United States are today beginning
to paw the bills for the destruction
wrought. Such payment means
resources taken from productive
enterprises here and unjustifed
burdening of every capitalist and
wage Garner, every farmer, every
manufacturer, every banker, every
merchant, every broker in the I'm
tied States.
From among the many plans
advanced for the relief Of the sit
uation, some of them wise plans
most of them exceedingly danger

tivities of the Federal government

own immediate problems and han

Judgment and ability. The patti
of greatest safety for him lie
along the way of strictest econo

to define extravaganza as any &C
rot absolutely necessary. Then
when the liquidation now unde

learned a few lessons that recen
years of prosperity have tended t

Portable than if he had given him

South's safety is in the self-Ieliance of its cotton
growers, its merchants, its bankers, its cotton spin
ners, working tremendously as far as may be posi-
BILE to avoid excitement, to market its cotton as slow
ly as possible, and to seek the cooperation through
banking connections of the financial forces of the
East, who are equally as interested as the South in
the protection of the price OF cotton and grain and
in the marketing of these products in Europe as rap
idly as may be feasible.

SOUTHERN SELF-RELIANCE.

Welding large profits. Self reliance demands that it
