OPPORTUNITY.

Firss Mortgage Gold Bonds, secured
by improved farms, are superior in
many respects and much more desira-
bic as an investment. than many of the
bonds listed on the Stock Exchange.
They are not effected by strikes,
political eccentricities or stock market
manipulations. They do not fiuctuate.
For safety, stability and attractive
income the farm mortgage stands at
the head with few equals and no su-
periors.
For the benefit of those of small
means we have Gold Bonds in denomin-
ations of $4,000. netting co interest.
No expense in collecting interest or
principal.
This puts all classes Of investors on a
level and is certainly the small inves-
tors opportunity.
For select first mortgages from 800
to $4,000, on improved farms see or

Diversified Crops In the Cotton States

Certainly anything that can be done
to help the South in its immediate
emergency should be done. But the
final new remedy for such situation
as the cotton planters are facing now
must come from finding new uses for
cotton, and the resulting increase in
demand, and from a greater diver
siication of crops in the cotton states.
The cotton planter now very generally
buys hay and corn for cash. He must
get in the habit of raising such neces-
sites for himself. 1t has been sscer-
tanned by the Department of Agricul-
ture that whereas the average Ohio
farm has 125 fowls, the average South
Carolina farm has only IA. The best
friends of the South and Of it's planters
believe that the true way to guard
against the ups and downs of king
Cotton" is to raise at home the crops
now bought from the West and in
crease the production of small farm

either.
AT the edge of her white gown
something moved. Something ghostly
dark and vicious. It crept further up
the gown, very careful not to make
itself felt. 1t crept on and reached
the bosom of the sleeping girl
Black as the night, the ugly mon
ster with its long hairy legs moved
on across the white gown and ap-
preached her throat, which lay bare
to the grasp of its poisonous. blood
sucking fangs.
1t was q giant spider, an enormous
ly big one, which had crept out of its
cave. 1t was at least six inches in
diameter. 1t could catch and swallow
q small bird just as easily as an ordi-
nary fly. 1t was very near her throat
now
Two inches-and again two inches
-crept the disgusting monster. and
reached her bare throat.
AS 1t rose on its hind legs, its dark
body against the white gown, the
black monster kept perfectly quiet, as
1t wanted to prepare its poisonous
fangs before sinking them into, the
fresh veins which had tempted It's
greedy appetite.
The man who had Just reached the
middle of the small valley stopped
suddenly as if turned TO stone. The
shout of Joy with which he had meant
to greet the girl whom he had looked
for anxiously died in his throat. How
great the danger in which the little
girl was lowering he knew only too
well. He knew better than anybody
that all wild animals, snakes and poi
sonous insects included, bite or sting
Immediately when they are scared
If, therefore, he let himself be seen
now the monster would follow this in
stinct and sink its deadly poisonous
fangs into the girls throat before It
disappeared
His brain was always clear and the
life he had lived had taught him to de-
eide quickly. He instantly remem-
bered that when he had returned from
the hunting and discovered that the
child was missing he had not hung
up the rife-and this rifle was loaded
with a rather small bullet
AS he made every effort to be as
calm as possible he lay down noise
lessly and pressed the weapon against
the stone. He was very clever with
the rifle. but he did not dare to take
even the slightest risk.
He took hair-fne aim and the shot
went off. The faint noise of the shot
did not wake up the girl. But the dis
gushing monster had disappeared
b own into thousands OF pieces in the
empty air.
First, when it was all over his hand
Tembled. He threw away his rifle,
jumped up and ran toward the little
girl, lifted her in his arms aud pressed
her tightly to his breast. The girl
woke up.
'Papa-wet," said the little girl, and
looked into his face-which was wet
with cold perspiration-with sleepy
eyes-"Ray dry, papa"
