the efforts of these men, situation

told by Charles Edward Russell. who

EXPERT ON FAIRGROUNDS
At TEACHERS INSTITUTE
figured out Is pure profit for the deal

figured out is pure profit for the deal
ers. St *
Professor Curtis was surprised to
see how well; the chains on the swings
had held up, and suggested that
chains could not last week in the
Philadelphia grounds. He would sub
stitute ropes or straight bars.
In his lecture tonight, Professor
Curtis will touch upon the needs for
the playground, the why Of the play
ground and by stereopticon slides
show what can be done and what has
been done.
Make Play a Part.
In his address before the teachers
institute this morning, Professor Cur
tbs declared that play should be made
part Of the curriculum. He believes
that by giving the children some place
to play and stimulating the desire for
play, and giving the apparatus with
which to play, that the pupils can be
spurred up to their work and where
formerly it took a pupil five hours to
accomplish one hours results, he could
do two hours work in one.
Professor Curtis believes in furnish7
ing the materials for the play He
spoke about the difficulty of having a
bow share one baseball with whole
school.
He urged the building Of jumping
pits, filing them with sand.
There would be no desire for rum
ming unless there were running
tracks. He suggested volley ball
courts, and spoke of the necessity for
safety in the apparatus. Children are
not hurt falling out of swings, he
said, but the danger lay in having
swings too high and child being
struck in the head by the swing board
when the occupants of the swing
were working up" Prof. Curtis COM
mended the height of the swings at
the Washington school grounds.
The placing OF sand pits under the
horizontal bars was recommended by
the play expert. He said that where
cases Of broken arms from these had
been reported. 1t was found that the
bars had been erected over brick paw
ings or hard ground. A half foot OF
sand will do away with all danger, he
said.

BELIEVES IN REBELLION.

Henry Clews, Of the Banking firm
Of Clewg d company Of New York,
in his regular weekly market letter
takes the opportunity 10 comment
upon the European war. He be
lieyes that the people should rebel
against their government 10 pre-
vent such wars. In looking about
for a cause he fails 70 observe any
and concludes that It IS an anti.
Christ war which the gospel refers
to. The Clews letter follows:
After the experience Of this de
yastating and brutally cruel war on
life and property, no permanent
peace can be effected unless It pro
yides for disarmament Of all the
nations involved and a binding
peace compact made between them
for pro rata combination Of fore.

and sea OF the entire combatants.

II this Is accomplished as result OF
the war, then It viii be an import
ant gain 10 humanity, and In part
some compensation growing out Of
the costly and dreadful slaughter Of
human life will be derived. If such
a settlement IS not accomplished
then recuperation with yindictiye in
tentlons will De likely to bring about
another war in due course of time.
which may include our continent and
the whole Of Asia, thereby making
a greater deluge of blood and de
struction Of property than the pres
cnt upheayal. The only possible
gain that this war can produce is
what ! propose, as stated above
and the people of all nations should
rise mp and insist upon it, 1t is a
question for the peoples of the world
TO solve for their own protection.
provided the various governments
will not accomplish that result, as
the lives of the people and their
interests are where the suffering
and losses strike. Why then should
they not make their voice and ac-
tions sufficiently strong to overthrow
the few that undertake to rule ad.

In the entire history Of the world

called good war such as our own

war for freedom, the bad wars vast.

unreasonable and barbarous war the
world has ever beheld. 1t came TO
us in so shocking and striking a !
manner that II could be likened to
the anti-Christ that ne gospel has
warned US to expect some day. Il
look upon this European conflict as
an anti-Christ war. What else can
it creditably be called, with its bru-
tai wholesale moving down, by the
most modern killing machinery, of
all kinds Of human beings, compris-
ing all religions without regard to

which the world has never previous.

BUY A BALE OF COTTON
A Matter Of Southern Pride and Self.
Preservation

Chamber of Commerce, Rome, Ga,
September 14.-Protect your job; pro-
tect your business; protect the stabili-
ty of the south.
Buy a bale of cotton.
Let's quit "hollering for help"
Let's help ourselves.
Let's show to the world the real
soundness and stability of thee re-
sources of the south.
Well-meaning big men have made a
million suggestions as to the proper
solution Of the cotton problem" that
is now confronting us, but in its last
analysis the little man is the one
to perform the operation, so let's all
get busy and buy bale of cotton.
If we wait to theorize on the ques-
tion, or sit helplessly by, we will soon
be in the midst of the cotton-shipping
season, the farmer will be without a
market, business will go slack, and the
depression win be great.
The Lord helps those who help
themselves"
Let's help ourselves-the best way
in the world to get the Lord on our
side.
All of which is suggested in no flip
pant, irreverent spirit, but with
due appreciation of what the words
mean.
Buy a bale of cotton!
There's the solution of the problem
in a nutshell.
Let every man buy at least one
bale, be he merchant, manufacturer,
banker, clerk or laborer.
Every man who does this is simply
helping himself, he is preserving the
stability Of his own business or that
of his employer and protecting his
own job.
When you buy a bale of cotton you
are simply loaning yourself money for
immediate business necessities. 1t
will come back to you with a hand
some interest. "a bale of cotton is as
good rs gold" The poor market will
at least be only temporary. A few
months hence and you will wish that
you had bought 80 bales.
It's like putting money in the bank
at better rate of interest than the |
bank will pay.
After you have bought your bale.
store it. If you haven't any other
place for it, put it in the parlor of
your home. Let it stand there as
to your public spirit and !
patriotism and good business sense. .
Cotton is characteristic of the south.
1t might well adorn any southern
home.
We are confronted with one abso.
ute certainty: The farmer must find
4 market for his cotton. A few farm.
ers are so situated that they can hold I
all or part of the crop over, but
large majority of them must sell to
meet present necessities, and to be
able to put in a more diversified crop
next season.
Successful farming is the backbone
Of business prosperity.
Uncle Sam is trying TO find a So
luton for our problem, and well he
may, for this is no merely local prob.
lem. Its successful solution means
the salvation of the commercial sol.
vency of the whole nation during these
parlous times.
But Uncle Sam moves too slowly
and. anyway, we don't
need his help so much as We think, if !

In some towns warehouses are AL
ready being built. They are made
of corrugated iron, with hoard
1ioor' an iron roof and siding ex-
tended down about one-third of the
way from the top. A warehouse
OF this kind will hold 1000 bales
and will cost $1,000, or a dollar a

the insurance companies prefer this
kind of a warehouse to one com.
