the trick. He felt in his pocket for the
flask. It was not there. He had left

door and reached for the bottle.
Then with choking, inarticulate
cry, he turned and darted down the
stairs, out Of the house and up the
road.
His room was a living furnace OF

in front of cigar store in New York.
Next to the cigar store was an en-
trance to stairway that led to the
second floor above. In front of this
entrance paced an officer in uniform.

saluting.
Nothing but" returned the man In

his hand invitingly Neal assembled.
Half an hour later he had regularly
enrolled-he was an apprentice sea
man in the navy. The United States
at its own expense shipped him with
q squad of recruits to the naval train
ing school at Norfolk.
As the hours flew by. Meals eyes
were opened He loved the sea-had
always loved it. He plunged into the
life of an apprentice seaman.
He wrote his mother and Annette

poor farmers to hold their crops,
but this plan was rejected, or rather
modified by the government agree
ing to join with bankers in provid-
ing fund of S135,OOO,OOO for lend
ing on cotton. Headlines full of
hope were flashed across the COL
umns of leading newspapers for a
few weeks, but-where is the mon
ey? No real farmer has ever seen
a dollar of it.
There is nothing quite so de-
structive to those in distress as
false hope, and if this movement
which has been so persistently her.
aided to the world has failed, we
are entitled to know it.
Il want to call attention to the
fact the farmer-the owner of the
property involved-was never con-
suited in the transaction. The
story was told him as children are
told the story of Arabian Nights
and the bedtime story of the rain
bow with the pot of gold, and it
seems to be about the same sort of
literature. The farmers were never
taken into the confidence or the
councils of the business men and
the government officials engaged
in the transaction. We do not
know why.
1T is perhaps sufficient to say
that a business movement having
for its component parts the most
powerful forces on the American
continent made an honest and
strenuous effort to help the farmer
and failed, and the farmers of the
South are now drinking the bitter
legs of that failure. Approxima-
ely three-fourths of the cotton crop
s now out of the hands of the pro-
ducer and the poor farmer who
most needed money has already
squared accounts, and has begun
the struggle to overcome the def
icit that has taken school books
from his children, shoes off his wife
and threatens the shelter of his
family"
