Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

A right or wrong start in 1917 will
make or break most farmers in the
South. We are all facing crisis.
This war in Europe puts things in
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree of
clearness.
The sure and certain increase In
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall Cost Of all food and
grain products is high, so high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food.
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
Kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living: 1t will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres of cotton you
ever crew. sfe~

UNIVERSITY LETTER.
DOES AN EDUCATION PAY?

BY James Edward Winston BA. Prof History
University, Miss. Jany. ID. 1871
The educated man is the greatest
producing agency in the world, with.
out which fertile soil. timbered lancL
and mine, al deposits are but as. so
much useless material. A college
education is the best assurance of
success in any line of work. OF ev-
cry 5 college graduates who practice
medicine, | makes a success; while
of 80 non graduates. only becomes
successful. Hon. Chauncy Nj. De-
pew, W HI I @ Pres iden I 0 /
the New York Central Railroad,
said; Hundreds of college men have
begun in the last years at The bottom
in railroad work, and have soon dis
tanced the uneducated boy or man. "
Testimony of this character might
be multiplied almost indefinitely.
OF the 10, 704 names listed IN who's
who, as the successful men OF A.
merica, ID per cent went no further
than the High School, 72 per cent
had a college training. II can thus
easily be demonstrate that Judging
from the mere standpoint of getting
on in the world, college education
brings rich reward.
Less than | per cent of American
men are college graduates. Yet,
this small number OF college trained
men has furnished So percent of our
Presidents; of Congressman, 36 per-
cent; Of Speakers OF the House, Al
per cent; of Vice Presidents, 81 per.
cent? of Secretaries of State, SO per
cent; of Secretaries of the Treasury,
% percent; of Attorney General, 81
per cent; of Supreme Court Justices
So per cent. or the memb ers of the
constitutional Convention. sos were
|collede trained men.
With no schooling of 5000, 600
only 81 attained distinction; with
elementary training of $4,000, 600
only SOS became distinguished; with
High School training of 1000, 900

came distinguished. A child with nc
schooling has one chance in 100, 900
OF becoming eminent; with elemen
tary training, he has 4 times the
chance, with High School education,
81 times the chance; and with col

Large Percent of Fires are Preventable

1azoo Sentinel.
a recent report of the National
Fire Underwriters Board shows that
26 per cent OF fires start from pure
ly preventable causes, while Al per
cent are partly preventable reasons.
There are few regulation types OF
fools who should learn better. Prom
lnent among them are those who
throw lighted matches into waste
baskets and refuse boxes. Presum-
abe they do it not to litter the floor.
with the sad result that the whosr
village is Uttered up by the ashes.
Cheap construction of houses, no
doubt leads to many fires. With
proper building of chimpeyS. flues
and smoke pipes, even an oNerheat-
ed stove or furnace need not set
wood a6re. But where hot pipes
rest on wood. it is a pretty sure thing
that that house win. never rot or
blow down. It's life will be ended De-
fore it shows any signed of age.

Gold And The High Cost OF Living

here makes gold plentiful in this coun-
try. This helps to sustain the activi-
ties that bring it here. 1t is a means
of exchanging ownership of articles
of use and consumption. but it is an
intrument and not a moving cause
a servant and not a master.
So far as gold is in excess of what
is really needed. it is idle or slow In
its movement. AS it Is drawn down 1t
will move quicker. and IL it igets
scarce credit may be restricted; but
if prices fall and the cost of living
is lowered, it will be because goods
are more plentiful in proportion to
the demand for them, and not because
god is lacking.
Let the war cease, and all the gold
now on hand remain here, prices will
merely fall and the cost of living de
crease, because the demand will fall
off.
A great deal of gold will go wher
we have less use for it and more use
for something else. 1t will continue
to be an instrument, a tool, of trade
to settle balances in the exchange o.
commodities to to pay foreign debts
when not paid by exported products
The main point is that the movement
of gold is an effect of industrial ant
commercial activities and not thu
cause of them. We are having |
larger demand than ever before TO
the products of our farms and factor
lies, and this is the chief cause of high
err prices and cost of living.
The supply of most commodities ha
diminished while the demand has In
!. creased.-Jackson (Mich) Patriot.
