The U. s. is the most ~extra7agant
nation of all the earth. We prodace
the raw stuff bat we do not conserve
il. or convert it. We comply with the
first requisite to thrift, industry, but
we wholly neglect the second. We are
not saving. And never having taken
the secsnd step We cannot take the
third or fourth, for without the cash
there can be no economic buying. But
compared with the North and South Is
lar the most extravegant- wastefully
~extravagsDt part Of the whole United
States. We make and have rot,
because We waste. We borrow more,
make more. and waste again. But now
we must stop. For more than a cen.
tury we have borrowed money from
Europe, but the war will stop that.
They will have no more money to loan,
they prefer to burn it. At a cost Of
$40, 900, 900. 90 a day, or one billion a
month it will not take them long to use
up the FIVE billions we owed them
when wal came, so We can not borrow
again from Europe Dor Since North
ern banks can not borrow from Europe
they can not loan so much to the South.
So all along the line the business will
be curtailed. What are we going to do!
There is only one thing we can do
save, SAVE, SAVE. .
Let the ways of thrift be taught in
every home and every school.
Let's follow the example Of our
European neighbors in saving. Let's
get a creditable standing among the
peoples Of the earth in our saving &C

~Starkville, Miss.

Yes, we all realize that we have
been struck a severe blow by the re-
duction in the price Of cotton, but
whining does not help the situation and
it is not at all like our Delta people to
sit inactive in the gloom of p%essimisn,
sensibly remarks the Greenville Demo
crat. We have land here that will pro-
duce anything that will grow in the
temperate zone; we have the most in
telligent planters to be found anywhere
in the world, and while most of these
planters have been proceeding along on
the all cotton plan because it was cas-
lily with credits and labor adjusted to
cotton production, yet, they haze the
intelligence and the energy to adjust
themselves to changed conditions and
just as soon as we all settle down to
the fact that we must finally depend
upon ourselves to pull through the
crisis caused by the European war, we
will begin to shape our business affairs
on new plans and ultimate prosperity
will be the result.

AFTER FREE ADVERTISING.

The country newspapers are being
deluged with letters from every section
Of the north, east and west offering to
"buy-a.baIe' to help out the farmers
Of the south. Every dodgasted one of
these propositions have two strings tied
to It. The first one il 10 secure a lot
Of free Advertising from the papers
and the other is to seperate the south
ern farmer from his dollars under the
guise Of aiding him to get rid Of his
cotton. And it is passing strange that
many Of the country papers are grant
ing this space by publishing the afore-
said articles. 1t would surprise you to
step into any newspaper office and see
some Of the propositions. The south
ern farmer has got to work out his own
salvation and if let alone he will do it.
None Of these corporations are going to
do it for him, tr~uthfully observes the
Baldwin journal.

they have quit loaning us, so now is a

By systematically saving some of our

ONLY A LEAF.

When We see a leaf fall from a tree do We wonder
how that leaf can be converted into money?
Hardly! IT'S only a leaf.
Yet at this season Of the year there are countless bn:
lions Of leaves falling from trees, and every single leaf is
Of value if the human brain cares to utilize it.
These leaves can be swept into a pile in the back yard,
or elsewhere, and converted into a compost heap for use
on the garden next summer. There is no better fertilizer.
They will make the radjShes, the string beans, toma-
toes and other garden truck spring into life as if touched
by a magic wand. They will be a constant reminder that
even the dropping Of a leaf is not without its significance,
its commercial value.
Convert your leaves into wealth. 'Tis an easy thing
to DO.

We trust that present conditions will
soak into the planter the fact that he
will be able to get but little money to
spend next season. He will be forced
to buy less, and We hope that reason
will force him to raise more. The solu-
ton Of his troubles is in buying less and
producing more. We hope he will form
this habit. A few years under this plan
and he will be troubled only with the
weather.

The game was very even during the

in favor of Mills. Three times the
ultimate losers came within an ace of
scoring, and the leather was in the
High section of the field good part
