,fThe War is Over."
Not in Europe. But, in so fur
as it affects Southern farming,
the war is over. Let the fanners
recognize that fact*.
The worst effect of the war was
felt last fall when, with the larg-
est cotton crop in history on
hand, the price was cut half in
two.
In the New York market for
the week ending March 27, spot
cotton from 0.15 middling up-
land to 9.50 May option, closed
at 0%; August, September and
later months passed 10 cents,
Junuury options reaching 10.50.
Now May cotton is selling for
9 cents and spot cotton between
H and 9 cents.
Let not these prices induce you
t<> put more cotton in theground.
Put less. Curtail radically your
cotton crop and extend the acre-
nge devoted to wheat and corn
and oats, and to all other crops
t hat. have a relation to the food
s-upply of the world. The South
will get more for twelve-million
bales than for sixteen million
baits this year. Reduce your
own acreage from one-fourth to
one half, in order to get reasona-
ble returns for your labor in
1915.
At this writing the course of
military events slow, but the in-
dications are that by the time
you begin to harvest the crops
that you are putting into the
ground ihe war will be over.
Many difficulties will confront
the nations of Europe,.but Amer-
ica has seen the worst of the war.
There will be changed conditions
of commerce, but these changes
will mean better times for this
country, and especially better
times for the Southern farmer.
The world will be calling for ev-
erything the South can produce,
not only on the farm, but in the
mines, in the forests of the
Sout hern States.
Put this spirit of confidence in-
to your work and into your
plans. Your future depends upon
the way yon meet the present.—
Home and Farm.

Strike when the iron is hot and
paint when the property needs it.
They paint ships a dozen times
a year; yes, some of them, every
.\oyage. What for, doyou think?
To look nice and get business.
A liveav ke< ps its carriages
painted and varnished and wash-
ed,-vto look nice and get business.
A man, with a house for sale
or to let, "does it up," and I)e-
voe is the paint.
There's more in paint than to
keep ofit water. Paint for looks
and you needn't think about wa-
t «r. A fresh coat of {taint once a
years is about as good for his
credit as paying his debts. But
the man whose building* mid
fences look new, very likely, has
no debts.

Here is a Brain Expander
By Prof. James of Harvard
You do just four things and no
more. You think! you remember
you imagine; you act. When;
you learn to think better, re- j
member better, imagine better or
act better, you are increasing1
your efficiency, and, therefore!
your income. You may feel you
are very successful now. Sup-
pose you are; it isn't a question
of what, you know, but Of how
beneficial a practical business ed-!
ucatiou will be to you in addi j
tion to what you already know. ]
Did you ewr stop to think that.
eighty-live per cent of the men of j
this count ry are only earning f 15
per week or less? That niue-two
per cent fail in business between
t lie ages of 40 and 50? That
ninety-five per cent, have no mon-
ey at the age of 60? You will
agree with us that to violate a
part of the laws of business
means partail failure, and to vi-
olate all the laws means com-
plete failure. You are also aware
that to observe.part of the laws
of business ineans'partial success,
and to observe all the laws means
complete success. The late Prof,
■lames of Harvard declares that
the average man only uses ten
per cent of his brain power. Sup-
pose you are twice as capable as
the average man? Even that
would mean you are only using
twenty per cent of ,your maxi-
mum possibilities. The purpose
of our course is to produce a
maximum of proficiency with a
minimum effort. The. business
world wants thinkers and doer.-'.
There's a famine of high priced
men today; there are thousands
of men worth a thousand dollars
a year, but only a few worth ten
thousand a year, Be the latter
kind of a man; you can if you
will. We know that a man is
worth only about $2.00 a day
from the chin do vn, selling mus-
cle, but as high as a hundred
thousand dollars a year from
chin up, selling brains Beachin
upper and sell the higher typo of
brains; yon can't afford to be a
chin downer; there's no room for
such a man in the ipgh salaried
olass. We have been very suc-
cessful in getting men out of the
eighty-five, the ninety-two and
ninety-five per cent class, Whv
not let us help you? We have
been marvelously successful in
raising salaries, as is conclusive-
ly proven by the letters in our
catalog from former student*.

To the dear renders of the Cass
County Suu:—Greetings to you
all.
I feel constrained to speak a word,
In regard to what you've heard
With false reports of every kind,
How itgrievesjt his heart of mine
With whatyou'veheard, not that
you've seen;
I feel my heart and conscience
clean;
Now you know what's in the air,
Some folks will tell, what they
want swear!
If things were so, which have
been told;
What would become of my poor
soul;
Can we forgive each other here,
With loving hearts, and others
cheer.
Were you ever accused of any-
thing Wrong, if so you know how
to loolf over others who have
been accused wrongfully; if you
bavn't then yon don't know how
to sympathize with others who
have. If any one knows anything
for sure, iti regard to my life, I
would be very thankful for you
to publish it. I do not cull any
one, man, boy, woman or girl.
Please write it and then prove it.
You do not need a man of the
character that I am described to
be, to till any pulpit, he is not tit
to die, much less to live. Can
any prove these thing, if you can
you ought to do it. A man of
that kind ought uot. to be allow-
eu to go at large. I can get as
good recommendation every-
where I've been, in regard to my
behavior, as any man on earth.
All auy one can say is what
they t&ve beard. And I will any

dear friends don't condemn a
man until you know something
to condemn him for.
Remember now, remember well,
Mv hearts desire I cannot tell;
I trust Hi a now, I'll (rust Lliti,

And will until the end.
