Stable conditions are here. All
we have to do is to keep them
stable.
The administration has de-
cided to appeal officially to the
public to help maintain existing
satisfactory conditions. The pub
lie cannot fail to respond. The
only danger is one which it may
create itself. It's course is simple.
All it has to do is to sit tight,
to do nothing to disrupt the for
tunate con dition in which this
country happily finds itself.

PARCEL POST ELIMI-

Department of Agriculture have
been testing out the parcel post
as means of marketing eggs and
have found it highly satisfac-
tory. The department has ship
ped 400 lots, consisting of o,I3I
eggs to various parts of the ma

nation, only 327 eggs, or three
and one half per cent. of the total
were broken. Ten dozen eggs
can be shipped in one container

of A. cents per dozen. This in!
cludes the cost of transportation
and container.

the parcel post extensively in SELL

consumers and excellent results
have been obtained.
Last winter when eggs were
being sold by retailers at from
so to 65 cents to the consumer the
farmers were only receiving 20
and rs cents per dozen for their
product, giving the middleman
from 80 to 40 cents on each
dozen eggs he handled. The par

tirely eliminates the middleman's
profit and divides the profit of
the middleman among producer

has already greatly advanced.
We have a sound financial sys-

nothing the matter with the
United States.
War will mean an unprecedent-
ed demand for supplies. Experts
declare American business will
feel great impetus. While
other nations destroy, this coun-
try will produce. While other
nations are armed camps, this
country will be a farm, a factory,
a forge. Trade extension is pre-
dicted in all directions. The im-
mediate future is plain.
The national administration is
acting wisely, promptly. The
sum of $5oo,ooo,ooo is available,
under the Aldrich-Vree'and act,
for an emergency. The organi-
cation of the reserve board will
soon be complete. This will
enable us to- deal more effective

PRESIDENTS WARNING

Addressing the American
people, President Wilson issued
statement in connection with
the European war warning the
citizens of the United States
against "that deepest, most
subtle, most essential breach of
neutrality which may spring out
of craftsmanship, out of passion
ately taking sides" The Presi-
dents statement follows:
"My fellow countrymen: |
suppose that every thoughtful
man in America has asked him
self during the last troubled
weeks, what influence the Euro
pean war may exert upon the
United States, and | take the
liberty of addressing a few words
to you in order to point out t hat
it is entirely within our choice
what its effect upon us will be
and to urge very earnestly upon
you the sort of speech and con-
duct which will best safeguard
the nation against distress and
disaster.
"The effect of the war upon the
United States will depend upon
what American citizens say and
do. Every man who really loves
America will act and speak in the
true spirit of neutrality, which is
the spirit of impartiality and fair
ness and friendliness to all con-
cerned. The spirit of the nation
in this CT teal matter will be de-
termined largely by what indi-
viduals and society and those
gathered In public meetings DO
and say, upon what newspapers
and magazines contain, upon
what our ministers utter in their
pulpits and men proclaim as their
opinions on the streets.
9Th people of the United
States are drawn from many ma
tions, and chiefly from the ma
tons now at war. 1t is natural
and inevitable that there should
be the utmost variety of SYM
pathy and desire among them
with regard to the issues and
circumstances Of the conflict.
Some will wish one nation,
others another, to succeed in the
momentous struggle. 1t will be
easy to excite passion and
difficult to allay. Those respon-
sible for exciting it will assume a
heavy responsibility; responsible

Hail Storm Robbed
MI. Avery Of Cotton
Fire field Of cotton ruined BY storm recently.

Mr.. Dick Avery was literaly rob
bed Of the first bale Of cotton that
would have been marketed in Lee
county, probably in Georgia " the
recent hail storm that swept over
Redbone district. His cotton field
had many bolls opening, while
we're ready to open when the
storm came and Stripped a large
part Of the field of the cotton.
Mr.. Avery says he would have
had a bale of cotton out the week
Of the hail storm, if it had notcome.
That would have given him tile
honor Of having the first bale not
only in Lee county but in Georgia
The field Of cotton, however, was
literally ruined by the storm, which
washed many bolls into nearby
swamp, as clondburst accompanied
the hail,
His friends are sympathizing
with Mr. Avery in his loss, as it
was even greater than that Of his
neighbors, who also lost much cot
ton on account Of the hail. Many
people Of Lee county have remarked
upon the unusual nature Of a storm
that swept cotton that had been
beaten from the stalks by hail into
the swamp. where it was found
later in large quantities. So large
in some instances in fact that Mr..
Ayery's neigl bols have been good
naturally joking him about picking
cotton out of,the swamp.
