PRAYING FOR PEACE.

President Wilson has co-operated with the
federal council of the churches of Christ in
america in setting apart an October Sabbath for
the time of prayer throughout America that
peace may be brought to warning Europe. The
presidents work for peace may not be recognized
by the judges OF the Nobel peace prize; ii may
not be widely advertised by press agent methods.

found necessary to demonstrate their peaceloving

tive labor undertaken by any American president

peace.

WHAT THE SOUTHERN PRESS
THINKS OF COTTON PROBLEM
Cotton for Covering.

One Of the most practical allies OF the dis
tress cotton of the South is rapidly developing
in the shape Of the substitution of cotton for jute
end other covering for almost every CONNER
cial purpose. An instance a large md spec
tacular scale Is furnished by the Quaker Oats
company, the big national manufacturers of
cereals AS announced IN The Constitution. these
! manufacturers expect in the future to use cot
ton in plate OF jute covering for their products
The net result of the change is estimated to be
the annual consumption OF $1,000 bales
The possibilities Of the movement thus indi-
Gated are far-reaching 1t Is logical to assume
that II the Quaker people find the change to
cotton coverings feasible and profitable the
numberless other cereal concerns In the country
will make the same discovery and the same APP.

cotton thus expectedly absorbed will mount int /,
the hundreds Of thosands OF bales IT, ell the
enterprises in America capable Of making this
substitution do so, 1t will not be surprising If
the added consumption totals from his source
laone reaches enormous proportions.
This u not to reckon with the fact that there

so Institute cotton for jute covering for the raw
cotton itself From this revenue 1t Is Conservative
to expect that additional hundreds Of thousands
of bales. otherwise idle stored. VIII be taken
Off the market and put into actual use.
One Of the most tangible benefits of his cam
paign Is that its effect will be immediate. fac
that counts for much in the present situation
If we can reckon with the increase OF domestic
consumption by million a million and a
half bales. The problem Of distress cotton win

II. however, the campaign is to be successful 1t
must be prosecuted through organization. There

ADVANTAGES are Systematically brought to their
attention

while. This time he Is rushing to the defense
of the militant Belgians While inclined to
doubt the necessity for this defense In view
OF the fact that for some several weeks the
Belgians have given themselves sufficient ad-

Richmond
There are men in Richmond who were com
vtnced that they ought to oppose Statewide pro-
hibition. The issue OF Statewide prohibition is
sesled; we have no further differences with these
gentlemen There is only one question that con-
fronts Virginia-there is only one problem that
Richmond must face. That problem is OF the
enforcement OF the law Of Virginia when 1t

AN ISLAND THAT
BARS THE MOTOR
Mail Carrier Takes One Onto Nantucket
and is Beset by all Sorts Of
Legal Obstacles.

Mail Carrier Takes One Onto Nantucket
and IS Beset by all Sorts Of
Legal Obstacles.
The little island of Nantucket, off the
coast Of Massachusetts, is in a furore
these days because Of what is regarded as
daring violation of "the statutes made
and provided" A merry legal war is occu-
uying the attention of the courts. simply
because Clinton S. Folger, a mail carrier,
likes motoring
The trouble, in which Mr. Folger has
thus Tar been victorious, dates back several
months 70 the time when the mail carrier
purchased a touring car in Boston. In sDite
OF the fact that automobiles have been
IlsoIOuSlg Cehleu admission to the island,
ALr- roger brought his new purchase home
and has since, with the exception of the
time ne has spent in court, been delivering
mail IN It. The officials Of the island
were much wrought up when citizen IToIger
transgressed by introducing his gasoline
car in the hitherto sacred Treeirc+z me-
demonstrated with the mail carrier hut to
no avail He made it clear that MS citf-
zensfip- entitled him to deliver mail in anv
sort of vehicle he saw fit.
Seeing that words were useless a bIg
deIesauoh OF Nantucket citizens Travelled to
Boston and had the Massachusetts highway
commission pass an exclusion law prohibit
ing the use Of motor cars on the island but
tOiger kept right on driving his car Then
the island officials put their heads to1etbar
and decided to ask for an Injunction But
there was nothing doing. The Injunction
was refused. Another conference, and the

fined SIS for violating the exclusion act
but immediately appealed. The next Sit
ting OF the superior court for the district
is in July, 1914, so Foiger with a for
giving smile for mis- opponents. climbed into
his car and started it off again Before
starting on his mail route however Mr.
Folger announced that he would see he
case through to the end. promising to take

ingtOn, if such procedure REQUIRED 10 yeas
Though a considerable amount of hi feel

is IN no way vindictive, for. on the dav he
was cited to appear in court he gave one

cided that about the only way TO get Fol
