There are many million# of
dollar* in the north waiting for
profitable investment.
What better could the north
do than to aid the south by buy-
ing it* cotton and holding it un-
til the market* of the world are
again opened?
It would be a legitimate In-
. estment—doubtless a profit-
able one—and a brotherly ac-
tion by a prosperous section of
the country in aid of another
section in distress.
It is not charity. The south
does not want that. It's pride
would not consent.
But it would be good business
sense. And the south would
welcome that.
We of America, should think
first of Americans.
If possible, buy a bale of cot-
ton.
In relieving the south you re-
lieve America—your country.
ON THE REBOUND
The slump in business result-
ing from the war has been felt
keenly throughout the country
in all lines of commerce.
But it is on the rebound, and
unless all signs fail, it will soon
be hitting the pike on the home
stretch.
We of this community may do
much to strengthen the feeling
of optimism even before the gen-
eral relief is felt.
We can keep what money we
have in circulation at home by
doing our buying from our own
home merchants.
We can add to our financial
store by shipping our surplus
products abroad and keeping
that money at home.
That is common sense. Let's
all take a dose.
Up to the hour of going to

not blue penciled the Bible.
It is unnecessary for some peo
ole to hide their lights under a

Is Japan just vulgarly sleep-

W AR IS FOUGHT BY BOYS
That war is fought by boys is
a familiar truth that we often
forget. But the records of our
own civil war proves it over-
whelmingly. The department
rolls show that in the great re-
bellion there were enlisted in
the army of the north 2,778,309
men, and of these 25 were 10
year old and younger, 225 12
years and under 1523 14 years
old and under, 844,891, 16 years
and under 1,151,438 18years and
under, 2,159,798 21 and under
and 618,511 22 years and over.
Thus the average of the whole
army was 19.7 years. When
war thus takes away the young
manhood of the country, who
can estimate its cost?—Chicago
Post.

Have You a
Bank Account?
If you are not following his
example, some day you'll
envy the man who saved a
part of his earnings each
week. The establishment of
a bank account is the first
step toward acquiring a habit
of thrift which leads to suc-
cess. Money in our bank n
safer than anywhere else. A
checking account is the sim-
plest and most convenient
method of paying bills.
