VOX POP HAS THE BEST IDEA
 YET.

Hats off to VOx Pop.
 VoA Pop is one of the people, who wrote letter to a paper about the European war and American neu- trality.
 Whether you are for or against Germany, he said in effect, depends altogether on your ancestors. If your ancestors were English or Scotisi, you are against the aggression of the Teuton empire."
 If your ancestors are of Tautonic extraction, you will find no wor1s too harsh to condemn "the gang try ing to destroy the fatherland.'
 Undoubtedly this is the key to nearly all pro and con sentiment. You can test it among your friends, and we believe you will find Vox Pop isS right .r2 7 '

times admiration for efficiency carries
this beyond the bounds of normal human
action into almost machine-like pre-
cis!on.

modern world, but, after ALL 1t is mere
seeming. And underneath his hurry and

TO roar very much like the beast of prey

But styles in men fit styles in times
Today a gallant courtier with powdered
wig and satin breeches would be de-

tality and power probably flourished in
the days when men wore patches on
their faces, shook out ruffles and walked
with mincing steps. Those externals
would be absurd now, and so, too. would
be the methods and manners that fitted

The world today is in state Of rapid

want to be hopelessly left behind in
weak, old-fogyishness must move with It.
Efficiency, strong determination and
clear-sighted vision of the goal ahead are
needed to make the man of today sue
cessful. He cannot stop to consider
times He cannot always be as gentle
and kind as his heart may dictate. But
sturdy honesty and decent consideration
of others will never go out of style. High
ideals are as important as they ever were.
There may be model "robber' barons
and captains of high finance" whose
success is based on the fact that they
get away with It," But there were
feudal lords of exactly the same sort in
the olden times. And so today the per

TO ABANDON ONE-cR0P IDEA
Cotton Planters Convinced Il Is Not
Wise to Place Dependence Upon
Single Staple.

After twenty or thirty years of agi-
tation the South has decided to aban
don the one-crop idea. The war in Flu.
rope is credited with convincing the
cotton planters that it is not wise to
place all dependence upon a single
staple, says Providence Journal. Re-
ports from the agricultural depart
ments of the southern states indicate
that there is general interest In food
crops, and that the farmers in the
cotton belt will enjoy greater prosper.
ity this year than in 1914, even though
change in the European situation
should increase the demand for tex
tiles.
The South Is In a good position to
raise cattle and other food supplies.
Increasing population insures a good
market for all of these that can be
produced. and as yet there is nothing
to warrant the fear that they will not
give fair profits. There is room
enough in the South for both cotton
and other crops. and the wonder is
that the people of that part of the
country failed to see the advantages
of diversity many years ago.
