King Cotton has suffered more from
the European war than any other ag
ricultural product on th i American
continent. Tho sheila of the belliger
ents have bu ruled over his throne,
frightening his subjects and shatter
ing his markets, and, pantc-etricken,
the notion cries out “ God save the
k in g!"
People from every walk of life have
contributed their mite toward rescue
work. Society has danced before the
king; milady ha* decreed that the
family wardrobe shall contain only
cciton goods; the press has plead
with the public to “ buy a bale";
bankers have been formulating hold
ing plans; congress and legislative
bodies have deliberated oTer relief
measures
statesmen and
writers
have grown eloquent expounding the
Inalienable rights ot “ His Majesty"
and presenting schemes for preserv
ing the financial Integrity of the
stricken staple, but the sword of Eu
rope has proved mightier than the pen
of America In fixing value upon this
\ product of the sunAy south.
Prices
have been bayoneted, values riddled
nnd markets decimated by the battling
hosts of the eastern hemisphere until
the American farmer has suffered a
war loss of $400,000,000, and a bale

EUROPE AT WAR
There has never been a war of such tremendous importance and magnitude Ita the pres
ent conflict. People today are doing little else than talking war, thinking war and reading
war news. To follow events intelligently, they must have an atlas, containing good clear ac
curate maps of all countries. Knowing this, T he F a l l s C ity N e w s has arranged to allow
its readers to avail themselves of the opportunity to secure "Europe at War,” a sixteen page
bound Atlas of Europe. Page size 11x16 inches, containing nine big colored war maps show
ing every part of the war situation. Individual maps of each country interested in the gigan
tic struggle on which the mind of the world is now entered. It is printed on heavy calender-
ed paper and illustrated with fine half tones showing Crowned Heads of Europe, most power
ful battleships and cruisers, army and navy maneuvers, torpedo boats, airships, etc. It has
colored paper showing spherical map of the world and bordered by flags ot the nations, A l
together it is the handsomest and most attractive volume of this kind ever offered.
“ Eu ro pe at W a r " is so much better than anything else offered that there is simply no
comparison, and you might as well have the best as long as it costa practically nothing.
Remember that even wall maps simply showing the war areas of Europe are selling
from 50c to $1.50 apiece, and here is an atlas with a large map of each individual country in
addition to the double page map of Europe and a double page map of the world, all of which
you can secure by taking advantage of T he F a l l s C ity N ew s liberal offer
People in the large cities are standing in line to get a War Atlas, This is the case
