COTTON BALES
filling Windows
AMERICUS Stores
IS BOUGHT At ten CENTS
Good Movement in Helping

Windows of Americas stores now
contain cotton bales instead of fancy
articles, clothing and furnishings,
and evidences the spirit of Americus
merchants in helping in these times
OF distress. The movement was start
ed yesterday when the Hooks Phar-
macy placed a 50O-pound bale in the
rig corner show window in lieu Of the
andsome display of fancy articles and
druggists sundries
The bale was brought from a farmer
at ten cents per pound, and the cash
paid for it. No swapping of store ac-
CONT although that would be par
fectiy legitimate, and praiseworthy
under the circumstances.
Other Americas merchants will evil
dence the same patriotic spirit, and
coirCn bales, bought for the cash at
ten cents per pound will, ere long sup
plant other displays in the big plate
glass windows of Americas most
prominent stores. 1t is not only a pa
triotic movement, but one which, in
the end, will rebound to the advant-
age of the merchant who thus rallies
to the aid of his fellow man.
Citizens of Americas; merchants
and those in every trade and pro-
fession, the good women as we'll, could
in the aggregate, buy up and take OF
the market a thousand bales Sumter
county cotton and not miss the price
paid for it. Just little show of con-
fdence-just some one to lead in the
movement, and there will be hun
dreds here ready to fall in line.
A cotton bale displayed in the show
windows of every Americas business
house, banks included, would do more
to inspire hope and confidence among
the farmers than anything else.

PLAIN QUESTIONS 10
AMERICAS PEOPLE
Every Americas Reader viii Admit the
SOundnesS of the Logic.

Would Americas people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills as they do if the
medicine were not reliable? Would
they confirm thier statements after
years have elapsed if their experiences
did not show the remedy to be de-
serving of it? Statements like the TO.
lowing must carry conviction to the
mind of eye:y reader:
W. NJ. Rigsby, policeman, 2O5 Prince
St, Americas, says: "Doan's Kidney
Pills surely did me lot of good sew

last statement, recommending them.
For this reason l am always glad -

special industries that benefit.
Opportunities for Trade.

But it is to the other neutral coun-
tries, especially those to the south Of
US, that we must look for he greaest
opportunities of trade expansion at
the present time. These, having been
cut off largely from their usual source
of supply, will naturally turn to US,
as the greatest producing nation not
involved in war, to meet the deficiency.
They are looking for us quite as much
as we are looking for them. With
proper cooperation our merchants
and manufacturers would have little
difficulty in securing much of their
trade But the real test will come
when the war is over-can we hold the
trade in the face of the determined
competition that will be sure to come
If established on broad and solid foun-
dations now l believe we can. l be-
lieve that the enterprise of our peo-
pie, if rightly directed and properly
supported-with a fair field and no
favor-can still hold it's own against
the world.
Not Time For Despair.
So l do not think this is a time
for despair, but rather for fresh eff
forts to push ahead into new fields,
as well as for the development of old
ones, that we may rise to our oppor-
tunities and lay the foundations of an
enduring prosperity. Least of all dc
think this time for the abatement
of publicity efforts; indeed, these
should be redoubled now, because if
advertising stimulates production, this
is the time to advertise; and the mer-
chant and manufacturer who keeps
his product prominently before the
public now is not only proving his
faith in the soundness and strength Of
American industry, and thus setting
good example to his more timid
brother, but is certain to reap an am
pie reward in the material returns
that will come to him.

WASHINGTON. Aug. lo.--"what ef-
feet will a European war have on
future immigration
Effect Of War on to the Unite d
Immigration. States?"
+ This Is Ques-
ton which Is interesting many stu.
dents Of immigration In this country,
particularly members Of the United
States senate. who have now pending
before them the Burnett bill. which was
passed by the house by large ma
jority more than six months ago. That
general war In Europe will have an
important influence on immigration to
the United States after conditions be-
come normal again h the consenses OF
opinion Of men In both the house OF
representatives and In the senate who
have studied the immigration prob
lem, and also Is the belief OF officials
OF the United States bureau Of impi'
grafton.
When Commissioner General OF I'm
migration Anthony Caminetu was ask
ed yesterday what would be the effect
OF European war on future tmmigra-
ton he seid that he had been thinking
what influence the disturbances In
Europe might have and that the nat,
ural thing to be expected was that
when peace Is declared the fiow OF
immigrants to this country from Eu'
rope will be very much Quickened. An
increase In immigration may be looked
for, he said, because II the war Is seri-
GUS and II causes general business DC
preston In the countries which II az
fects many OF the members OF the
poorer classes will have to seek oppor'
tunities In this country.
The normal flow Of immigrants to
this country Ia now more than $4,000
q month. and OF the number who have
ALREADY planned to come here and
. whom the war forces to postpone their
trips It Ia expected that the majority
win sail az soon az they can get 40

Many Of the foreign men who may
leave this country to take part In the
war, providing they can obtain pas
sage. may be expected to return later
TO resume their work here. The peo-
pie whose trips have been postponed
and those who have left the United
States temporarily, along with the nor.
NAL number who will come here after
the war. will send the immigrant rec.
ords, according TO some experts, up to
q point which will exceed any other
years arrivals.
IL do not know, however" said Mr..
Caminetti. whether, even after the
close OF the war. that the amount OF
immigration will be greater than what
II has been during the six banner
years since 1900. Since 1920. when this
government first began to make immi-

Current Magazines

The Atlantic Monthly for August
contains an article on Motherhood
and the state" by Albert Jay Mock,
which knocks the traditional founda-
tons of Home and mother clean
from under our feet. We have chung
to these ideas like the so-called
Christian to the rock Of ages until
this bold man comes along and tells
us that there are mothers and moth
ers Zone merely biological. the others
also spiritually, and as for home, he
does not know what II means. He
points out that all mothers have put
the state in their debt and should
therefore be given an opportunity to
live their dives and that all children
should receive equal opportunities for
education and health. The public
school Is the first step along these
lines, and II is branching out to In
clude Fairgrounds, baths. physical
gymnastics. food, etc. In Gary, Ind,
the schools take babies at six weeks
and care for them In their nursuries.
In this way children are not handi-
capped by being cared for by "jour-
neyman mothers" who are In the vast

ius for motherhood will naturally
gravitate toward these institutions and
mother" many more children than
their own.
Mr.. Mock does not consider women
who do not yearn for motherhood as
unnatural" any more than he does
a man for preferring other kinds of
employment than filling the soil.
As for the home, he says: when
people speak Of the home as though
the term were one Of precision and
definiteness, like speaking Of st.
Paul's cathedral or the house of rep
resentatives, confess that I cannot
follow them" He says further that
the household Is no longer an eco
nomic unit" as II was when each
member did his or her part In the
varied work which was carried on
there.

the fiscal year which has just closed
was the next highest. In 1907 there
were 1,2S6.S4s aliens who came to our
shores and were admitted. Last year
the number Of immigrants admitted ex.
ceeded l,218.000. The other years
when immigration ranged from 1000.
600 to 1.1SS.000 were 1905. 1906. 1910
and 1913.

er General Caminetti, that the ships
| last year could have accommodated 3S
per cent more immigrants than were
admitted to this country. do not
know that even with quickened how
OF people to our ports, however. at the
end OF the war that immigration will
reach the maximum. The resumption
OF commerce and agriculture In Eu-
rope may mean an increased demand
for laborers. which will keep a great
number Of people at home who other
wise might come to America In case Of
foreign depression"
In view of the situation Ii Ia now q
question whether the senate will pass
the pending bill to regulate the imml
grafton Of aliens to and the residence
Of aliens In the United States during
the present session. This bill includes
the Ateraey test, which will meet some
opposition In the senate as II did In
the house. and In view of compiled
tons which might arise II IL believed
by a number OF the senate leaders that
the immigration bill will be postponed
until after congress meets In Deem
ber There are some members. how
ever, who may press for its passage
before adjournment.
The immigration bill which passed
the house Is similar to the one which
was acted upon favorably by the same
body during the Taft administration.
but which was vetoed by the president
because of the literacy test provision.
There has been some speculation as to
whether President Wilson might not
also veto the present bill with its lit
eracy test provision. The literacy test
has as Its purpose the exclusion from
admission to the United States Of all
immigrants over 16 years of age who
are not able to read their own Ian
guage or dialect. Some members OF
the house wanted to make the bill
read both to read and ito write" but
the majority voted to make the bill
provide that immigrants over 16 years
should be passed in the literacy test
