Again, there is no risk Of having an
entire evening spoiled by some line OF
acting or some actor who does not suit

Magazine for April.

EvERYBoDY's MAGAZINE for April
presents a very attractive appear
ance, and it's contents are of
especial value and interest. The
second article in the series treats
of the enormous steel works Of
the Carnegie Company near
Pittsburg, Pa, and explains in a
bright and interesting fashion
in what manner this company
will make this year profits ex.
ceeding $40.00O,O0O. Another
takes up a fascinating subject,
and one which has undou btedly
been a mystery to nine tenths of
the magazine readers; that is
the method Of navigating a ship
by observation of the sun and
stars. For difficult mathemat.
ical subject, this method is ex
planned in singularly lucid
fashion, and appears to be very
simple after all. A very strong
article is that on sour Coast De-
fenses," which describes the
manufacture, emplacement and
use of the huge disappearing
guns, the mortar batteries and
coast defenses in general which
are now being pushed to COM
pletion on both Atlantic and
Pacific seaboards. The article
attacks the subject evidently
from the inside. and many facts
are given which have not hereto
fore been published. The illus
trations for this are particularly
new and interesting.
The short stories are especially
good. The leading story is the
"White Rose Mystery" q fasclna
ting tale, and six or eight other
stories and four or five special
articles, combine to make a re.
markable ten cents' worth.

FARMERS AND COTTON FU.
TURES.
A Noted Cotton Expert Advises
Against Selling the Crop in
Advance.

There is tendency on the part
OF some cotton growers to consid-
er favorably plans for selling in
advance the crop which they ex.
pet to raise this season, and
some newspapers have advised
them to try it. In regard to the
proposition that Southern farm
ers should sell on basis of New
York futures for September and
October delivery their crops of
cotton not yet planted, Mr.. Alfred
b. She1person writes as follow
In the Manufacturers Record:
mo farmer could sell his CROP
on the basis of prices for Septem
Der and October delivery unless
he agreed to deliver it during
those months. He could deliver
only a small proportion of his
crop by that time, as picking
usually goes or until December
and sometimes much later. He
could only sell with safety for
delivery in November and De.
cember, and New York futures
for these months are nearly half
a cent lower than for Septem ber
delivery. The present price for
November delivery would leave
the farmer, after paying freight.
commissions and other charges,
about 7 cents per pound for mid.
ding cotton. This should not be
regarded very tempting price,
since it has been exceeded during
every calendar year with only
one exception since 1926.
"Should the farmer sell now for
delivery next fall or winter and
prices before then should advance
from any reason, he would have
to make deposit of money equal
to the advance, and the raising OF
this money might prove incon-
venient and expensive. If the
farmer should sell more than his
crop turned out to be, he would
then have to buy of his neigh bors
to make up the quantity. In the
event Of higher. prices ruling at
that time than he had sold at, he
might thus suffer a considerable
loss, besides having to part with
all Of his own crop at a lower
price than his neighbors were re-
ceivipg. Us
"If, from the coEsS1un of bis
crop late In the ummer, the
farmer should fCHS reasonably
confident of making 200 bales of
cotton. it would be wise, perhaps
to sell 100 bales for November OF
December delivery against bis
crop If the Price was sntis ,.ctory.
This would b safe and 7 erfeC.;y
