The South's Industrial Growth.

The growth of the cotton textile industry in
the South is witnessed strikingly in recent bull
letin of the federal Census Bureau showing that
in April 1916, Southern mills consumed two
hundred and ninety-eight thousand, one hundred
and eighty-six bales, an increase of seven and
sixty-eight hundredths per cent over the same
month of the year preceding while the mills of all
other sections consumed only two hundred and
seventy-six thousand nine hundred and eighteen
bales decrease of and half per cent.
The South is the natural location for cotton
manufactures and by all odds the most economical,
although for many years the East held virtual
monopoly of that industrial field. Since 1890
nearly seventy per cent of the spindes in
stalled in the United States have been installed in
Southern mills. This development means that the
South is holding millions of wealth which formerly
il lost by selling raw material instead of finished
products
The South's industrial progress since 1880 is
one of the most interesting chapters in American
wear the amount of capital invested in Southern
manufactures increased nine hundred per cent
and the value of their products than four
hundred per cent. Of the two hundred and sixty
two important lines of manufacturing now con-
Quoted in the United States, two hundred and
thirty-six are maintained in the South.
Remarkable though it is this record is merely
beginning of the South's industrial development.
Vast stores of natural remain to be util-
lied Uncounted opportunities yet to be ex-
plotted.

LAYS DIR. c. w. Saleeby, in his helpful treatise
Worry, the Disease of Age"
~ '"There is such thing, unquestonably,
as normal worry in the of adult men and
women but there is such thing as normal
worry in the of child"
This is something / wish all parents would
keep in mind Worry is abnormal in children if
only because it interferes with their proper
mental and physical development.
1t handicaps the child from the outset of his
thought and conduct that cause nervous wreck
age or late.
Always it has the effect of lessening in some
degree the child's ability to fit himself for the
problems of ADULT life.
Yet many parents give no thought to the pos
sibly disastrous consequences of worry in their
children. Many, alas, act toward their children in
such way to make 1t certain they will worry
Every parent who governs his child through
fear breeds worry in his child So does the parent
who is overanxious about his child's well-being.
Children are the most suggestible of beings
When a mother perpetually fuses and frets over
her child, allowing herself to be needlessly tor
mented by fears as to his safety in, for example,
going to and coming back from school, she is
almost sure to infect her child with her own fool
ish, morbid anxiety.
Some parents also set children worrying by
show of favoritism in the family lfe A sensitive
child, neglected for more favored brother or
sister, will become either intensely jealous in
tensely depressed.
The child may become jealous and depressed.
In which case the outlook for his future success
and happiness is dark indeed.
Another frequently overlooked cause of worry

LOVE OR DISTANCE
BY DIR. FRANK CRANK

During the Middle Ages people always
fighting because they lived forever in the same
place. They naturally took to duelling, jousting,
breaking heads, and slipping poison into each
others tea.
One of the beauties of the city is that there
is train pulling out of it every minute.
The automobile is redeeming country life be-
cause it is making it easy for the farmer to get
away quickly and go a long distance.
The greatest place IN the world is somewhere
else.
Hence steam gasoline. and electricity are god
sends to race where there is not love enough to
go around.
Hence also do not gibe at the woman who is
infatuated with her children and thinks them
prodigies and marvels. If she did not, how could
she stand them?
Neither rail at the ultra-uxorious married cou-
pie. Remember they living in an intimacy
that would be terrific it not for that blassed
infatuation.
Bishop Taylor once lectured in certain town,
and related his many travels in Australia, Africa,
and the Far East. At the conclusion OF his ad-
dress comely young married woman shook hands
with him and said, Bishop, should like to be
your wife,
''Why?" he inquired, somewhat fattered by SO
ingenious declaration.
"oh," she replied because you are away from
home so much!''
What world of unconscious autobiography in
that!

WORRY IN CHILDHOOD
BY II. ADDINGTON BRUCE.

in children is emphasis terrifying elements =
religious teaching.
All children need religious teaching. But when
the parent or the Sunday school teacher says too
much about such things hell, the devil, and the
punishment of sin, much harm may be done.
A child committing slight fault is liable,
if he has been told too often too wildly about
sins consequences, to brood in a most unhealthy
fashion over his wrongdoing. Much of the bust
ness of nerve specialists originates in this way.
Ridicule by parents, teachers, or playmates is
also frequent cause of worry in children. Play
mates are the worst offenders. But their ridicule
parents please note-like the ridicule of adults,
usually has a certain valid basis.
That is to say, when children "pick on one of
their number, it usually is because they have de-
tected something inferior or queer in his make
I'D. This in its turn usually indicates that his
parents have not been dealing with him as wisely
as they should.
If then, your boy complains that other boys
are all the time making fun Of him, try to find oue
exactly why they do this, and then start in to re-
move the cause of their disturbing attitude.
1t may be that you have been training your
boy badly. 1t may be that you have been so fool
ish as to dress him in clothes which call attention
to him unfavorably.
Or, again, the ridicule of his playmates may be
caused by eccentricites of behavior due to unsus-
pected but easily durable physical weaknesses and
defects. If you have reason to fear this, get him
to doctor without delay.
There are other causes of worry in children.
But these are the chief causes. And they are all
of them causes that be avoided by wise parental
action.

To get along with anybody you need one or two
things, love or distance.
The only reason you hate some folks is be-
cause you have to live in the same town with
them. If they lived over in Keokuk or Downer's
Grove you might think very highly Of them.
But when you must see man every day, when
it is under your eyes how he cheats the grocer
and browbeats his family and all his little vanities
and Vulgarities are rubbed into your notice. why,
unless you like him, you want to beat him, and
the peace of Indifference, the comfort OF tolerance
impossible.
Ditto thrice ditto, woman.
1t is wise provision of nature that mutual love
is instinctively poured out upon the family. For
to live under the same roof, to see each other
every day at dinner, and to have all the personal
shortcomings magnifed by the microscope OF IN
timacy, renders it vain for human beings to as
semble as families, and avoid riot and bloodshed,
unless love is present.
Love is the only divine and efficient lubrlcat1ng
anti-friction oil in human relations
Politeness is fair substitute but 1t is haDle
to wear thin and make sore spot any minute.
One reason why the world is growing better
is that we have better transportation facilities.
Every passenger the railway train or the
ocean liner easement of the yoke some
where. Distance is knitting up severed trlend-
ship Lovers are being united by leaving each
other for spell.
Everybody that is going away is TO De appre-
ciated more when he gets back

The Georgia Peach.

To millions of appreciative palates, the COM
ing of the Georgia peach is event to be set "in
the high tides of the calendar" peachless June
would be as forlorn as December without Santa
Claus.
The yield this season, though not so bountiful
as in other years. is of the same royal quality
that makes Georgia as famous for peaches as Italy
is for sunsets, or Germany for sausage. 1t is
hard to imagine now that the nation once nibbled
along without Georgia peaches, pretty much as
Adam droned the time away before the creation
of Eve. Yet, peach growing is rather recent as
an industry and art in Georgia. The family
orchard, of course. is as old as the Commonwealth
itself. People fortunate to be born between Rabun
Gap and Tybee Light have known always what
perfect piece of witchery nature performs when
she gathers Georgia sun and dew to make peach.
1t is only within the last decade so, however,
that this treasure has been scattered to the outer
world. Cotton is dethroned king of the South,
but the Georgia peach queens it throughout
America.

The Bran deiS Nomination.

Assurances that the Presidents appointment
of Louis ID. Brandeis associate justice of the
Supreme Court will be confirmed gratifying to
everyone, outside prejudiced circle, who has
watched the developments in this remarkable case
Since the nomination reached the Senate on jan
uary %. the enemies of Mr.. Brandeis have piled
charge upon charge and SANDER upon Islander. They
have ransacked his thirty years of professional
practice for evidence to dscredit his character.
Hating him because of his stanch and generous
service to the of common justice against spe-
cial privilege, they have magnifed mole hills to
mountains and scanned his every act through yell
low lens. Some of the charges sprang from per-
sonal spite, others from the ill will of awless
trusts he had prosecuted and still others from
sheer snobbery. The fact that his record as law
yer and a has withstood this mercless
assault is a tribute indeed to his broad integrity
So conservative a paper as the Springfield
Cdass) Republican. commenting on the shock
which Boston society and State street financiers'
must have received from the recent espousal of
Mr.. Brandeis by former President Charles
W. Eliot, of Harvard declares:
Dr. Eliot cannot be accused of hasty judg-
ment for the Brandeis nomination has been
before the public for several months. In
urging the confirmation of the nomination, in
his letter to Chairman Culberson of the Senate
judiciary committee, DR.. Eliot evidently re-
fleets the results of the Senate hearings upon
the Brandeis charges, the stenographic report
of which fills 1916 pages. Anyone who
studies that bulky volume must have opinions
of some Sort or perish. There must be fairly
good judicial timber, from the peoples point
of view, in a lawyer who has many. friends
among the poor and lowly and those who are
working to better their condition." as the
hostile Senator Works comedies; who also
looks at monopoIistic combinations from the
point of view of the public" a leading
corporation lawyer of Boston, F. E. Snow, has
testified; who has done nothing "corruptly or
with any hope of reward" Senator Works
again admitted; who spent eight years trium-
phantly defending the constitutionaty of the
1O-hour laws for working women without
charging a dollar in fees; who has achieved
notable success arbitrator in the difficult
labor disputes of the garment workers trades
in New York and has won enthusiastic indorse-
ment for his judicial poise from employer and
employe alike.
There has been excuse for the undertaking
and mud-hinging which this nomination has brought
forth. Though it is proper that the Senate should
look scrupulously into the character and quaihca-
tions of nominees to responsible Office the
Supreme Court, it is shameful that a good name
should be dragged through the gutter of Shiny
politics 1t is time, indeed, for this case to be
closed. The Senate Judiciary committee has recon-
mended the nomination, and it will be sustained
by virtually solid vote of the Democrats to-
gether with that of several unprecedented Repub-
licans

Cheaper NitrateS, Better Farming

1t is doubtful that the public yet realizes the
full Importance of that part of the recently enacted
Army bill which provides for the establishment
of a plant to produce nitrates. The military
value of the enterprise is obvious but its economic
service while not so apparent at the outset will
be intellectually far-reaching.
The United States now depends on Chile for
nitrates that are indispensable in the manufacture
of fertilizers as we'll as explosives; and as the
Chilean government exacts export duty of sixty
per cent on all sales of this product, millions of
dollars annually are ADDED to the price which our
country pays. By opening a way to the plenteous
production of ntrates from the air, Germany
has done, the Government will contribute a vast
deal to the cause of agricultural stability and
progress as we'll as to national defense. For
when America makes its own nitrates by assured
and economical processes, the cost of fertilizers
naturally will be reduced. In turn the produc-
tivity of farms will be increased and an important
factor in the high cost of living will be brought
under control
In an authoritative treatment of this aspect of
the subject Mr. Frank S. Washburn, a distin-
gushed engineer, declares:
Mans chief concern is his food Condi-
tions which increase the cost thereof to the con-
sumner year after year constitute the greatest
possible economic evil. Food prices rose 80
per cent in this country from 1896 to 1912.
The Bureau of Commerce and Labor in
late report states that the cost of living has
advanced / 5 per cent in two years. Measures
which will help to remove these conditions
and materially reduce the rate of increase
may be viewed as possessing the very greatest
Importance. Limiting the price of food is largely
a question of lowering the cost of its produc-
ton. Cheaper production is only compatible with
an increased crop return per acre cultivated
without increased expenditure of human labor.
If this be true of European countries with so
cents per day field labor, how much more i'm
portant is it to this country with So day
labor? Under any given practice and assumed
degree of intelligence in the art of farming
there is but way to increase the crop
yield without increasing the labor, and that
is by the use of fertilizer Therefore, the
production of ample supply of fertilizer
and it's universal the crops of the
United States is more to be desired and
striven for than any other material reform
before the American people
II is not to be imagined that the Government
is going into the fertilizer business, though there
could be no objection to it's selling the surplus of
an army plants output, under proper regulations.
The significant fact is that a definite step has
been taken toward the home production of nj
trates so that the country will become independent
where now it is dangerously and extravagantly
dependent.
