TO RAISE THE PRICE OF COTTON.
My plan for bringing the price of cot
ton up to 10 cents, is for the southern
farmer to devote to other crops, which
will feed his farm stock and support
himself and family, one-half the area
usually planted to cotton. Under the
present system, grain, forage crops,

asked the woman whose husband was
out with Charlie. because he came
home with lot of red, white and blue
pieces of ivory. I don't know just
what they are for, but the colors show
they have something to do with pa

The rowing authorities of the University
Of Wisconsin have written, asking Cornell S
attitude toward the entering of a crew
from the Western University in the pro-
posed intercollegiate regatta this season.
The Cornell athletic council will take no
individ Ial action on the matter but the
members will express Informally to Wis
consin their willingness to allow that col
lege to enter
The matter will be left to be decided at a
conference Of the representatives Of the diff
ferent universities. which. it is expected
will be called in a few days. Pennsylvania
and Columbia are willing to enter into a
conference, while Harvard has agreed to
give the matter her careful attention
though she has not yet agreed nor refused
to send representative to confer with the
others. The probable place of the meeting
will be In New York city. :
AS regards the course for a regatta this
season, Saratoga seems preferable.

GATHERING OF MEMBERS At St. LOUIS
Local Option .IReaarding Sunday
Racing to Be Considered.
CURRENT SPORTING NOTES

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. February "a majority
OF the delegates to the National Assembly
OF the League of American Wheelmen
which met today are in the city A large
number came In on this mornings trains,
and stragglers will reach here tonight and
tomorrow morning before the actual bus
mess of the session begins.
The question that will receive the most
earnest discussion is that OF local option
for the state divisions. An amendment pro-
viding that state divisions be granted the
right to determine for themselves whether
Sunday racing should be permitted was in
II oduced last year at the assembly at AL
bany, and was defeated by but six votes.
AT that time division option was not con-
sioered to be of moment to the league, but
the defeat of the amendment occasioning
the formation of leagues in California and
Louisiana. where the control of the sport
passed almost entirely into the hands of
the newly formed organizations, has had
the effect of causing the present delegates
to hear both sides of the question and to
determine to decide the case on it's merits.
The prevailing opinion seems to be that if
1t is best for the league such an amend
ment will be adopted at the present con-
vention
The disposition to afford the advocates Of
Sunday racing every possible opportunity
among the members of such states as Mas
sachusetts and New York. where previous
ly strong opposition to the idea was found.
In view of this change of sentiment it is
evident that the local option amendment
will be given thorough consideration when
it comes before the assembly tomorrow
morning.
President Potter's reelection for the en-
suing year and the success of his whole
ticket seems assured, for no decided oppo-
sition has been shown yet. nor has any 9TH
er ticket been made public. Rumors of the
candidacy of Geo. D. Gideon, ex-chairman
of the racing board, and Of Fred Gerlach,
extracting board member from Chicago, are
bruited about, but have not yet assumed
definite shape. The Potter slate is as fol-
lows:
President-Isaac Potter, New York
First vice president-Thos. J. keenan, of

last few years, definitely declared 1t as his
strong opinion that the father of the house
must always be the man who has repre-
scented the same constituency without a
break for the greatest period of time.
Therefore Mr. w. w. Bramston Beach, M.

He has represented, to all practical in

since the year 1857, when he became MI.

formerly described as the northern division

In regard to continuity of service for the
