name Of Loony Locust. They had
wished themselves very small, and
as they slipped along the branch,
they looked like TWO plump little
bugs.
Loony was just about to start bis
scraping ogain-why he liked to do
it so well no one knows, for it's
anything but musical-when the
twins gave him shove. Before
ne knew what had happened, or
could catch himself, down he went,
crashing through the leaves like a
haiI-s.one. Down, down he went
right into Mr.. Sprinkle-Blow's open
umbrella
Quick as bling the fairy weather
man shut it up, with Mr.. Loony
Locust safely inside, "Well, / de-
clarer exclaimed Sprinkle Blow
who'd have thought those twins
were so smart?"
Up in the sky, Jack Frost turned
over and went to sleep again.
Thought I heard Loony Locus
calling out about fall, said he, "but
| must have been mistaken"

DAILY LETTER

u NUMBER Of Years ago L learn
"a ed these two rules, which were
Of value TO me:
NO not worry about the things
hat You can help.
Do not worry about the things
which you cannot help.
They are good rules.
Il there IS anything about which
you are disposed to worry, help it,
and save The necessity for worry.
If there is anything about which
you cannot help, worry will not
avert the evil, and may lessen your
strength for the inevitable.
There are people who are a curse
to their friends because they can
face no possible situation without
futile and harmful worry.
face vbgk vbgkq vbgkq vbgkqjbgkq
But on the other hand, it should
De remembered, that there are some
situations which need some one to
worry about them.
1t worried Columbus that no one
could be made to believe that the
earth was round.
1t worried George Washington that
the colonies were starting on pa
thetic and almost hopeless fight for
freedom.
1t worried Abraham Lincoln that
some soldier boy was to be shot at
dawn, and the boys mother had writ.
ten him letter.
am not wholly in sympathy with
the Don't Worry" crowd
Seine Of them are giving the rest
of us occasion to worry.
They are always delaying the
party because they did not get up
in time. They are always forgetting
that other people are depending upon
them for something. They are always
cheerful while other people are
working themselves into a pGrspira-
ton on their account.
Don't worry about the things that
you can help; help them. Don't wor.
ry about the things you can't help;
it will do no good. But worry wour
head off rather than make other peo-
pie worry on account Of your heed
lessnoss and neglect.
We should worry" says the care
less simpleton.
So you should for you have no
right to make other people worry.

WIVES WHO FAIL
SHE WAS
JEALOUS
BY RUTH AGNES ABELING

Gle was jealous.
When his sisters came to visit
him she'd spend half her time trying
to wiring out of him confessions that
she was much more attractive men
tally. physically and spiritually than
they.
When he offered to share his um-
brella with the 19-year-old girl in
the apartment upstairs and they turn
ed Iaughingly in the gate, she turned
cool cheek for his kiss or denied
him entirely and looked hurt all eve
ming,
He was generous soul and so
when he met the woman next door
getting off the car and assisted her
with packages, as he came in the door
his wife reminded him that she had
been uptown that very afternoon and
had had to carry her own packages
home.
She never left him alone second
with her younger sister and always
found an excuse for sending her
home or getting her out Of the way
Sometimes she cried and some
times she scolded but she always did
one or the other if she discovered
that he picked up one of the girls at
the office who went his way and lei
her ride in his car.
When he went to the club dances
unless he wanted a stormy scene
when he reached home he had to act
as though he hated every woman
there and only suffered dancing witt
them because his men friends want
ed to dance with his wife.
Really he was quite nice man
when she married him. But this con
slant and so very apparent worry 8
hers about other women aroused hi
curiosity about them. He wondered
what charm it was she so feared
and, human enough, he endeavoreC
to discover.
And she never realized that is wa
her continual attracting his atten
ton to other women by her Jealousy
of them, that started the trouble.

THE history of this famous song il
lustrates how ancient is the ORR
gin Of the things we consider modern.
Also, the changes worked in an orig
NAL by successive periods of history.
When the Arabs sang the song 700
years ago, it was about desert chief
tain named Malbrook.
When the English, during the reign
of Queen Anne, fought the French in
Flanders, over 200 years ago, they
were led by the Duke of Marlborough.
The taunting French paraphrased the
Malbrook song like this:
Marlborough, prince of commanders,
has gone to the war in Flanders;
His fame is like Alexanders.
Bat when will he come lome2
He won't come home until morning,
He won't come home until morning,
lie wont come home until morning,
j. Till daylight doth appear.
That made the English mad. They
changed the parody and added new
cholus:
Marlborough. prince Of commanders
haS-conduered the French in Elan
ders;
ms Jane is like Alexander's.
And he's the best of all.
For he's a jolly good fellow,

ED ORIAL.

THE Southern press is beginning tC
reflect a new spirit og courage
for the section. Whereas only a few
days ago, with every farmer and bua-
ness man conscious of the short crop
of cotton in sight and the staple
bringing only 10 or II cents a
Found-and little demand for it at
that price-suddenIy the world has
walked up to the true situation, and
a wild scramble for our product has
begun, with price shooting skyward,
and already assuming respectable
proportions. Business men report
the reaction has already set in, and
that decided change is taking place,
with the public beginning to buy once
more after a prolonged enforced alb
stinence.
True, 20 or 25 cent cotton will not
end the troubles of a certain large
percentage of the Southern cotton
growers, who have either made a
small crop this year or have been
unable to hold over last years crop
for a fair price-or both. But this
it will do: It will bring millions up
on millions of dollars into the South
that we feared would not come al
though always hoping, enabling many
TO pay their debts or substantial parts
Of their debts, and some to &c ahead
with Dians for building, improving or
expansion. All of tbs will put money
int circulation in needed quantities.
which will mean more general en-
ployment, more general business and
a general revival of prosperous nor
NAL conditions. That this is not too
optimistic a statement may be con-
frmed by recalling that probably a
third-possibly much more-of the
old crop of cotton is still held in the
cotton belt, and will reap the bene-
fits of the rise along with the new
crop, minimizing to a large extent
the losses that appeared inevitable
from last years crop.
We don't know what cotton will
bring eventually before the 1922 crop
comes in. But of this we are GER
tain. The cotton farmer needs every
cent he can get for his meager 1921
crop and all he has carried over.
Economists have recently said that
the South would be the first to re.
cover from the business slump, having
bsen the first to be hit by 1t and the
first to get down to a pre-war basis.
This prediction appears to be on the
eve Of fulfillment.
