ANOTHER WASTED WALL

Despite all the lugubrious proph-
cts who foresaw disaster as a re-
suit of the wars effect upon the cot
ton trade the South is prospering.
Leaving Hoke Smith much amazed,
the cotton market is doing prodig-
iously we'll, and in all other lines the
South made remarkable progress in
the first year of war in Europe
just how much is shown in the an
nual report of Fairfax Harrison,
president of the Southern railway.
In the year ended June 80, 1914,
the Southern railway carried 2,5O7,-
2s9 tons of agricultural products.
BY a singular coincidence it carried
2,507,8l2 tons in the year ended
June 80, 1915. But while the varia-
tion was about 500 tons, the total
was made up of quite different
items. There was slight decrease
in the amount of cotton shipped in
1915, more than overbalanced by an
increased shipment of cotton seed.
More important is the fact that
last year the South imported
100000 tons less grain and $4,000
tons less hay. The only possible ex-
planation is that the South has be-
gun to raise these necessary sup
plies itself instead of buying them
from the North and West.
On the other hand, shipments of
leaf tobacco increased 10000 tons
5000 tons more of melons were
shipped; 1000 tons more of citrus
fruits, and $4,000 tons more of other
fruits and vegetables.
To add these products to a cottor
crop of huge size was a great
achievement for the South.
According to Mr.. Harrison, the
akaage in character Of tonnage

THE WOMAN'S CLINIC

In a day when the words "social
service" are applied rather reckless
ly to every vague effort in behalf of
the needy, the work of the Woman's
Clinic Auxiliary in the two years of
its existence, just rounded out, ex-
emplifies the phrase in striking
fashion.
The clinic has just moved into
new quarters. Its removal to these
was made necessary by demand
for its services that nearly doubled
within the past year. The removal
was made possible by doubling of
the clinics supporting membership,
and the efforts to increase that
membership to the point where the
clinic will be entirely self-support-
ing deserves success.
The usefulness of the Woman's
Clinic Auxiliary has been so ex-
tensive because it met actual condi-
tions! Every year there is a grow
ing feeling of self-respect among
those labeled as "the poor" that
keeps them from patronizing "free
clinics" if they can help it. The
Woman's Clinic Auxiliary has made
a practice of supplying medical at
tention to persons with small in
comes at prices they can afford to
pay. Hours were so arranged that
both working women and girls, and
those having household duties, can
attend the clinic at convenient hours.
That such services were needed is
amply proved by the yearly report.
The Washington times., 1915-10-17

reflects the effort Of the Southern
farmer to feed himself and emerge
from condition of dependence upon
the grain fields of the West. So that,
while rapidly approaching the time
when the South will produce grain
sufficient to feed itself, and prob
ably have some to sell, the South
is now producing fruits and vege-
tables to feed many Of its neighbors
as WE'LL"
Prospects for the corn, wheat,
oats, potato, hay, and tobacco
crops in the Southern States this
fall are yet more encouraging, show
ing huge increases over last season,
according to the official September
1 estimates of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Not only
agriculturally, but industrially as
well, the section is going ahead,
with 519 new factories in the year
along the route of the Southern.
Besides ten different principal lines
of manufacture, 1877 are Jumped un-
der "miscellaneous."
If further proof is needed to
clinch the argument here is a strik-
ing quotation from Mr.. Harrison's s
report:
The increased use of automobiles.
especially for short distance travel,
Is the only permanent cause con-
tributing to u reduction Of railway
passenger travel in the South. The
use OF automobiles has largely In
creased.

THE PUBLIC AND THE NEW
ARMY

The test of national patriotism, in
connection with the plan for q citi-
zens' army, will extend far beyond
the young men who may be willing
to enlist and give the necessary time
for the service. Beyond these, of
whom the number will doubtless be
ample if the decision is left to them.
come the employers, the relatives,
the family associations, and the So
cial relationships. Quite the most
desirable young men for such an
army will be those whose employ
ments are regular and whose places
are not easy to fill temporarily.
Therefore, much will depend on
the attitude of employers. 1t is
necessary that these will make some
sacrifice of convenience in order
that their young men may give the
two months per year that it is pro-
posed to ask for their military
duties. The public at large will be
able to WELD a useful influence in
this connection, for employers will
not care to set themselves in op-
position to patriotic service
strongly backed by community sen.
| timent.
The differing attitudes Of employ.
ers and of the social factors toward
the National Guard have done much
to determine the status of that or.
ganization in various communities
A National Guard company will be
found in one town to have the en-.
thusiastic support of the people; its
armory will be social center, its
members will be the more highly re.
garded because of their enlistments
employers will make effort to grant
the necessary leaves from business
during the encampment season anc
at other times. In another com
munity these conditions will bt
found reversed, the guard organi
zation lightly esteemed, and bust
ness men indisposed to grant th'
privileges necessary if efficient worl
be done.
! A citizens army aspiring present
ly to train a million soldiers fo
this country must have real popu
lar support or it will not be a sue
cess. There must be strong empha
sis on the duty of the whole publi
to give countenance, support, an,
:, even some preference to the mel
who compose it's roll. There mus
be more than cold acGuiescence an,
passive acceptance of some incon
veniences; there will be need for cul
tivating the feeling that employer
are doing part of the patriotic serv
ice; and that can, be accomplishe'
only by making the new army
great popular institution. If it i
not made that, the new plan viii
never succeed.
