WHERE NO HELP CAME.

In these days of fast ocean travel,
rapid railway travel and fast tele-
graph communication, one part of the
world knows what is happening in
all other portions, and hearts are
touched to quick sympathy and many
gifts are made to those who are
made hungry by any disaster.
The inhabitants of the Holy Land
have been fed since the war began,
the citizens of Italy, whose homes
were ruined by an earthquake, have
received help and vast supplies of
food and clothing have gone to the
Belgians. This and the war seems
scarcely to have begun. Less than
seven months have the armies been
in the field
these times with those our parents
went through in the south, during the
war of the COS. The boast was made
that a crow which flew across Viz
ginia must take his rations with him
When Sherman marched to the sea
not a home, horse, COW, hog, sheep,
chicken or anything in the barns
were left for the people to subsist
upon. 1t was an effort to starye the
south into submission.
Those were days when news passed
from one section to another slowly
One will realize just how slow that
travel was when it is called to mind
that the Emancipation Proclamation
was signed January l and the news
reached Texas June 49, the day which
is celebrated by the negroes Of that
state in honor of the day Of theiI
freedom.
During those times the south was
bent under its burden, but no calls
were made for shiploads of supplies
no churches or lodges or foundations
made gifts of millions to our people
They were not thought of If life
had depended upon food from the
outside, then death would have come
because the navy would not have al
lowed the results OF the army set al
naught, and shiploads of food would
not have been allowed to land.
The people of the south turned tc
the resources of their own country
Children may have cried for bread
but no appeal ever went out to the
world for help. None starved to
death. although there was suffering

A THINNING PROCESS.

As one of the professions, agri-
culture is playing an important role
in the education of young men. There
are fewer men studying medicine at
this time than for many years before,
Fewer men entertain the ambition Of
having their sons become lawyers,
and the thought Of the country is
moving away to some extent from the
law as a profession.
In the south, when slaves did the
work, it was the ambition of every
father to make professional men out
of his sons. The professions were
looked upon with great honor and
many ambitious young men entered
the law and medicine and the min
istry.
Not that the professions are less
honorable, or less remunerative than
formerly, but because labor occupies
a more exalted position is this change
brought about. Earning a livelihood
with the hands is more honorable
than ever before. The young man
who is upon the farm is proud to
state that he is. He has no limita-
tions about him, there is a demand
for all he produces, his credit is
good at the bank, the railroads, the
agricultural colleges, the farm dem
onstrators, and the newspapers are
interested in his success.
More attention is being paid to
agriculture and to stock-raising, and
as the profession attracts more at
tention it becomes more honorable.
We call farming and stock raising a
profession; it requires more teen
nical knowledge to do this work well
than it does to either practice medi-
cine or law, and it is entitled to
be called a profession. All labor Is
related, and the elevation of one part
of il pulls up on other branches OF
labor and at this time labor as a
whole is regarded as being more
honorable than at any time since the
days of the old south passed away
when the shackles dropped from the
limbs of the negro slaves.

Quickly Relieves
Without Distress

The congestion of waste and
refuse from the stomach, ferment-
ing in the bowels, generates poi
sonous gases that occasion distress
and invite serious Illness Health
and comfort demand that this con
gestion be speedily relieved and the
foul mass expelled.
The well-founded objection most
people have to the violence of ca
thartic and purgative agents is over
come by using the combination of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin
that is sold in drug stores under
the name of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. A dose at night brings re-
lief next morning, without discom-
fort or inconvenience. A free trial
bottle can be obtained by writing
to DR.. W. b. Caldwell, 452 Washing

Families that had been wealthy saw
times when their homes were without
milk, butter meat, coffee, lard, sugar,
or salt. Still no voice went out to
the world for help.
We would not discourage persons
who are helping the Belgians, but
W would cast a flower upon the
memory of the old south and rejoice
with them in their powers to resist
the worst of war conditions. and
would rejoice with our new genera
tion, with its improved transporta-
tion lines and with its ability and
generous spirit of giving.

banks are limited to handling only
one kind Of paper. 1t is not clear
to my mind just what idea you meant
to convey by that statement, but un-
der any reasonable Interpretation of
your language, it hardly conveys a
correct idea of the kind of paper that
is eligible for discount with federal
reserve bank The power is lodged
with the federal reserve board at
Washington to define the character of
paper which reserve bank can take
over from one of its members and In
exercising that authority they have
said that a note to be eligible should
be one, the proceeds of which have
been used or are to be used in produc-
ing, purchasing, carrying or marketing
goods in one or more of the steps OF
the process of production, manufacture
and distribution" Expressing it mega
lively the board has further said that
no note is eligible the proceeds of
which have been or are to be used for
permanent or fixed investment of any
kind, or for investments of purely
speculative character.
II will thus be seen that all agricul-
tural and cattle paper can be taken
by a reserve bank, All paper the pro
ceeds of which were used for the
handling of grain, cotton, cotton seed
and oil and other products can be dis
counted. Notes by merchants and
manufacturers, when not representing
their permanent investments, are like
wise eligible.
To apply these rules to a community
like Ardmore, it might be said that
note given by your flour mill repre-
senting an addition to their plant or
sale of the stock would not be availa-
BILE for use in a reserve bank, but notes
or acceptances the proceeds of which
were used in buying grain and carry
ing it through the process of manu-
facture and sale would be highly ac-
ceptable commercial paper A similar
Illustration could be made with refer
ence to your cotton seed oil mill. A
$4,000 note given by them for the
purchase of a gin or the building of
an addition to their mill could not be
accepted by the Dallas bank, but OBJ
legations equal to five times that sum
which were created in buying and
handling cotton seed would be entire
ly within the requirements. Notes,
the proceeds of which have gone into
the capital stock of oil companies are
not eligible, but those which are rep
resented by oil stored in the oil fields
and elsewhere, are.
1t manifestly is one of the missions
of the federal reserve act to develop
the asests of the member banks to
the highest point of liquidity and to
gradually connne the operation of
those banks as nearly as possible, to
strictly commercial transactions leav-
ing the field of investment and specula-
tion to individuals, trust companies,
savings banks and other agencies of
that character.
