 My old Friend Speaking"

It was as if my old friend were speaking to me through the lips of the Chinese. The idea caught at my throat, and with something very like a sob choking my utterances, I extended both hands toward the impassive man standing before me.

Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy ! and the monkey had been riding upon the back of the magical hob by horse and they were going lick ity split through the woods. They did not know that Heezy the Witch and Hazel Hagg had worked their | magic so that the monkey would suddenly change back into fat Mr. FiXus.
 And, of course the moment MT. FiXus Was changed from a monkey | into his own shape he was so heavy, he broke all four legs off the hobby horse and he and the Raggedys went crashing to the ground.
 Then, before they could get to | their feet, the two mean old witches came running from the bushes and caught Raggedy Andy.
 'Ha," the Witches howled, That was the time we fooled you! We thought before that 1t was Raggedy Ann who had the magic candy heart, but now we know that it is Raggedy Andy who has it, because he was able 10 make himself invis- ible and crack us upon our long nose with a stick" And they car ried Raggedy Andy away through the bushes
 Dear me- Raggedy Ann said to Mr. FiXms, "Raggedy Andy has no candy heart at all MT. Fixus. And my candy heart is not magical even a smidgiu,"
 Then how did Raggedy Andy make himself invisible so that he could crack the Witches upon their long nosos?" Mir. Fixus asked.
 "Why,' Raggedy Ann replied. When vou had been changed into a monkey, Raggedy Andy looked in q cupboard in your shop and found little rcd box and Fin the rcd box was a little red cap which made Raggedy Andy invisible when he put it on"
 "Oh. yes!" MT. Fixus said, T re- member the red box, but I never looked inside it."
 Then Raggedy Ann looked about grass at the side of the path, she saw the red box. IL had fallen from Raggedy Andy's hands when the Witches had caught him.
 Raggcdy Ann ran and brought the red box to Mir Fixus who opened 1t and took out the magic cap.
 Now I shall run and catch up with the Witches" he said.
 If you hear them bowling, you will know that I have given them q lot Of hard thumps." And put ting on the red cap, MT. Fixus ran

The doctor also explained to Mrs. Mann that often coughing was caus- ed by the pendulous soft part Of the mouth becoming relaxed and touch the back part of the tongue.
 This produced tickling sensation, which required a cough to relieve it, the doctor said.
 When this condition is met" the doctor said, take little dry tannic acid, put it in quill, and blow 1t toward the back of the mouth. This will contract the uvula, causing it to pull away from the back part of the tongue"

Are You a
Capitalist?

Everybody who works and
ives something and builds
home or lends his savings to
some industry to be used in pro-
duction is a capitalist. A mem
Der of labor organizations which
have banks and other assets is
a capitalist, Every individual
who has a savings account is
capitalist. The greater the sup
ply of capital, the greater will be
the demand for labor to make
use of that capital.
If capital is scarce and timid,
the demand for labor is less,
says Chas. H. Carson of the
American Bankers Association;
The more productive capital
there is, and the more it seeks to
be used, the more authority does
labor exercise in its demand for
wages. .
There is an aristocracy OF
wealth, but they are not contin-
ed to those streets where the So
called 400" reside. You'll
find them here and thereon
the back streets and on the
front; in the cities and in the
country. He who has few dol
lars ahead and owes nothing is
an aristocrat, There are others
who appear to be in that class,
but if we could look under the
surface we find them paupers.
If you own a few acres, clear
of debt; if you own your home
or if your savings are in the bank
or in dependable stocks or
bonds. you are capitalist. You
are free. You are not cornpell-
ed to wear any man 5 ring IN
your nose.

There was an excellent young
fellow living on a Sumter farm
who desired an education. His
mother was a widow, but she in
sisted on her son going to one
of the states higher institutions
of learning. When he had come
to his last year, boil weevil and
other things brought adversely
to the mother back on the farm.
He knew that if he accepted an
other year at college at her ex-
pense. she would lose the farm.
He declined to go back.
She advised him to borrow
enough money to pay his way
through that last year. He tried,
but failed. His note was not
good bankable paper. In the
depths of despair he approached
a friend of the family. This
splendid gentleman said to the
young man: Il have no money,
but ! know a wonderfully fine
lady who may help you" The
situation was laid before her and
she agreed to lend the young
fellow $3.50 for two years, refus-
ing to accept any interest.
The young fellow was over
joyed. He returned to college
and completed his course with
credit to himself. his mother and
his benefactor.
So thorough was his education

Pooling the Cotton
Farmer

Representative Rankin, OF
Mississippi, is urging the Federal
Department of Agriculture to
make public, in connection with
its mid-September cotton crop
report, the number of acres of
cotton that have been abandon
ed in the cotton growing States.
In a telegram addressed to Sec
rotary of Agriculture Jardine,
Mr.. Rankins says;
This report ought to show the
greatest acreage abandonment in
many years. Hundreds of thous
ands Of acres in the drouth strick-
en- area have been abandoned. Re-
ports are coming to US constant
ly from Texas farmers who have
been compelled to abandon their
crops because they did not make
enough cotton to justify them to
pick it and to the effect that
there are possibly a million acres
or more in the southwestern por-
ton of the cotton belt that will
not make the seed back that was
planted in the spring.
"The Withholding of this infor-
nation at this critical point of
the harvesting season would be
little short of a crime.
"You have this information at
hand and the public is entitled
to know what the abandoned
acreage amounts to. Why should
this information be withheld
from the public until the end of
the season when it viii be too
late for its publication to bene-
fit the cotton growers"
To conceal these figures is
nothing more nor less than play
ing into the hands of the mills
and cotton spectators. Cotton
has not been worth less than IS
cents any day this year, and yet
the bulk of the crop IS going for
70 and " cents.
Pauperize the farmer and we
pauperize the nation. Because
the producer has been compell-
ed to accept LESS for his farm
products than it cost to raise
them, has brought stringent
times over the nation. Since the
days of the War Between the
States the Southern cotton farm
er has allowed outsiders to say
what he shall receive for his cot
ton.
The cotton-growing South
may yet be compelled to gather
its own cotton statistics, each
State taking it's own census and
compiling them later for the
benefit Of the Federal govern
ment.
The South, year after year,
has paid a heavy toll because
the TRUTH about it's cotton
crop was not told until after the
staple was out of the hands of
the farmer.
