The manager happened to want a

Here's your chance, my boy" said
the manager, these people have been

Now, don't come back until you have

ing all contracts where cotton had
been sold to Germany, and instead con-
signing the cotton to Scandinavian or
Dutch ports, relying upon the assur-
ances of the state department and OF
the British embassy that it would be
permitted free passage. This cotton
was then seized by England, who de-
clined to let it go forward.
England will pay the price prevail
ing in the English market, which is
low as a result Of large importations
of cotton, and this Is not acceptable
to American shippers, who would not
have sent forward the cargoes unless
counting on the high prices at destina-
ton ports. The shippers feel, there
fore, that England has r%epudiated her
own agreement.
Attention was called to the large
British exports Of cotton as indicating
a Willingness on the part Of England
to take advantage Of the conditions
which she refused to allow Americans
to profit by. Shipments were being
constantly forwarded to neutral ports.
it was stated, where they were held
pending a rise in the market.
The British exports Of cotton to
Holland and Sweden, particularly,
during March, April, May and June
were many times greater than during
the corresponding period Of 1914" the
attorney continued. England claims
that her object in preventing American
& from reaching countries con-
tigeous to Germany is to make the re-
expectation Of cotton to Germany i'm
possible.
yet, at the same time, she permits
her own merchants to sell cotton in
these countries. They can get he
prices paid at destination ports on
cotton that has been stopped and
bought by England at prevailing Brit
ish rates, while American shippers are
not allowed the benefit Of this in
crease."-Augusta Chronicle.

RELIGION
A Simple Analysis Of the Gospel Of
Christ.

A Simple Analysis Of the Gospel OF
Christ.
l believe it was Bill Nye who said
that he preferred a certain church to
all others because it didn't interfere
| with either his politics or his religi-
on.
The remark could be applied to al
| most any church of the present day,
for it is a painful but very evident
fact that few church people really
know what they believe, and that al
know, or seem to know, what Christi
anity.
For that matter, very few people
know or seem to know, what Christi
anity really Is.
The average church member re-
serves the right to interpret Christ's
teachings to please himself, and the
further right to disregard those
teachings hat interfere with his
business or his passions.
Yet the religion of Christ is so
simple that a child can understand it,
and the basic principle so clear that a
wayfaring man, though a fool, need
not fail to grasp It.
Christ's life was a life Of service;
his gospel was a gospel Of love. The
one thing he tried increasingly to i'm
press on the minds Of those who would
be his followers was that they must
forgive and love n another. And
that one requirement proves a STUN
bling block in the paths Of most folk
who would be Christians.
No man or woman who can read
can doubt the truth Of the statement
that it is impossible for n to hate
and remain a Christian. Yet nearly
all folk who profess to be Christians
allow themselves the privilege of
holding a grudge" against somebody.
Thus we nave a race Of pious hypo-
critics who will get into heaven, If at
all, far behind the harlots and thieves.
The protesting Christian who har-
bors ill-will must be either very stub
bornly wicked or very, very ignorant.
If I have injured you, or hurt your
feelings, or offended your pride, and
you set about trying to get even, or
so much as hold resentment against
me, and yet claim to be a Christian,
you are either a deliberate liar or you
belong in a home for feeble minded.
For any man or who has
intelligence enough to claim belief in
Christ also has intelligence enough
to know that hate, ill-will, resentment
and "grudges" are as far from Chris
tianity as the east is from the vest

Courtesy Is so easy to give and yet
is so seldom given. 1t costs us nothing
to extend a cheerful civility to those
about us, but how many OF us are I'M
failingly courteous? Very few. 1t Is
to be feared. Somehow, we travellers
along life's highroad for the most
part, to be too busy to be polite. There
seems to be an opinion with certain
persons that courtesy Is synonymous
with f%oolishness. What a mistaken
idea this is! Is it foolish to make 9TH
ers feel brighter by your cheerful
words? Is 1t foolish to make the path
SUMMER for others as we'll as for your
self by the happiness of your smile?
This Is what courtesy does. 1t helps
others from the darkness into the
light, it shows them the way from the
shaded road to the sunny side Of life.
If you have ever tried to be continu-
ously and consistently courteous you
must have noticed how contagious
civility is. II you ask questions In a
bright, polite way you are almost sure
to receive in the same tone.
Courtesy given means courtesy re-
ceived and, unfortunately, the opposite
is quite as true.
Things Worth knowing.
Junket Is excellent In invalid diet.
Keep a cheap wire hair brush for
grooming the cat.
Wash table linen by itself. Wash
handkerchiefs alone.

FORWARD WARRIORS ONLY
Pieper Would Put a Noble Army in
the Front.

Mr.. Pieper, member of assembly Of
the state Of Wisconsin,, has introduced
a resolution in that body, which, if it
does nothing more, will serve to make
Mr.. Pieper known outside the confines
Of his own state. In part it is as fol-
lows:
Whereas, it is, anundisputed fact
that IL those who are directly respon-
sible for the terrible slaughter nov
going on in Europe would be COM
PEELED to stand in the front rank Of
battle and do the actual fighting, in
stead of sitting in some office, or
watching the process Of slaughter from
some sheltered place through a spy
glass, well removed from the point of
danger, there would be no war.
Resolved, that the legislature of
Wisconsin respectfully urge congress
that at it's next session the military
policy Of our government be nodded as
follows:
In case of war, every con
gresham who is such at the time war
is declared shall be compelled to enlist
and serve as a private soldier during
the war, at a compensation Of s13 per
month, and no congressman to be pro-
NOTED during any war for which he
voted"
The resolution then goes on to say
that after the CONSUMPTION Of the ma
tional lawmakers all the m%illionaires
be drafted and next the preachers and
the lawyers the editors and last of all
such men as have an income of more
than $4,000 a year.
MI. Pieper does not specify who are
to be the officers or whether in the
first line Of defense the senator or the
representatives are to have precedence.
He should attend to this or Represen-
tatives Gardner and HObson will be
much disturbed. Likewise HOke Smith.
Let us see how formidable Mr..
Pieper's army would be:

FALSE ECONOMY
1t is an old saying that CLOTHES don't make the

1t is an old saying that "Clothes don't make the
man" and quite true is this saying-but YOU would
give quicker attention and more consideration to the
we'll dressed man than YOU. would to the man who is
careless of his clothes-especially if the wearer were a
stranger. Wouldn't YOU? Yes. Well, Good Print
ed Stationery, Booklets, etc, do not make a good, re-
liable merchant, a banker or other safe business man
but YOU know that YOU-unconsciously possibly
notice the difference in the quality of the printed matter
that passes through your hands. If a letter re-
ceive is written on a poor quality OF paper and carries
a cheap looking printed heading YOU-unconsciously
possibiy-put it down in your mind that the writer is
on a par with his stationery and YOU think OF him Just
that way. Well, if this be true then what does the
OTHER FELLOW think of YOU when YOUR sta
tionery is of the cheap, shoddy looking kind? Forms
the same kind of opinion of YOU tina. you would
form of HIM.
What kind of stationery do YOU use? Is it the
kind that leaves a bad taste or the kind that commands
attention by its very appearance-its Quality, If you
please? The better kind costs a little more-it's worth
more because it gets more-but a red stamp will carry
either kind. If YOU want YOUR stationery to com
mand attention use the BEST-it will pay YOU for its
cos Use the kind that 0 will get at The En-
ouirer Office. We insist on all Our work being "Just
AS Good As Your Money Will Buy" If YOU are sat

A Few Useful Hints.

Don't save all your paper and string.
Don't save toe many paper boxes.
Don't have the kitchen drawer lit
tered with paper bags; you might use
one, but you can't use a dozen.
Don't save too much dried bread;
keep a supply Of bread crumbs, but
the chances are that you will not use
all your stale bread for bread pud-
ding.
Don't save many bottles. The
amount of space they occupy is not
compensated for by the amount Of
money you receive II you sell them.
Don't save soiled rags. It does not
pay to wash them out.
