he had risen to a sitting posture and
gazed ruefully after the car which rat
tied on down the street, he discovered
the reason of his sudden elevation and
resultant downfall. 1t was boy on a
bicycle who had found that clinging to
the rear rail of the car and being tow
ed by Pains mules was much easier
than pumping away at the pedals. 1t
has been noticed that the custom is
growing of late to such proportions
that from one to two bicyclists cling to

The divorce laws of Hawaii were ma
terially affected when the act to pro-
vide a government for the Territory Of
Hawaii was passed by Congress. The
result is that Hawaii will not become
the mecca of divorces as Dakota prov
ed to be for so many years. Formerly
the laws Of the Republic were such that
q residence of two years was required
before either could apply for divorce,
but both parties must have lived In
Hawaii together as man and wife. The
principle of the law was upheld II per-
sons passed through by steamer and
were in Honolulu but a day. That con-
stituted residence here.
Under the ruling of the United States
statutes upon the subject no one car
take up residence here expecting al
the end Of two years to file a divorce
in case the wife or husband as the case
may be, resides on the Mainland and
has never lived in Hawaii. This law
absolutely shuts off the possibility OF
one party to a divorce suit living here
for the statutory time and securing q
decree Of divorce. Despite the fact
however, that the laws effectually pre-
vent Hawaii from becoming second
Dakota, 1t is probable that In the mex,
legislature the subject will be inves'
tigated. Attorneys believe that the leg
islature should create law. or modify
the present one, which gives the privf-
lege OF divorce after the full two years
residence.

GREAT DEMAND FOR COTTON

That the forthcoming cotton crop
will demand good price, the highest
in years, is generally conceded. The
Houston Post, reviewing the situation,
states that the supply of old cotton IN
the United States today is 23O, 900
bales. The amount visible in all parts
of the world is only zoos, 900 bales
American, or million bales
less than were available for consump-
ton at this time last year.
The million bales now on hand are
probably sufficient for four weeks con-
sumption. In order for the supply to
last until the new crop begins to move
it will be absolutely necessary for
many mills to shut down or curtail
their consumption.
Months ago The Post gave the facts
and figures to show that the world
would be confronted with something
akin to a cotton famine this summer
Prices have been advanced to 10 cents
a pound on account of the great scarcity
Of the staple, spinners are using every
bale of their reserves, and the whole
world is now looking forward to the
next crop.
The greatest anxiety is manifested
as to the outlook, and news of a
shower in Texas is of as much impor
lance in the commercial world today
as is information IN regard to the latest
Chinese outbreak.
Never before in the history of the
cotton trade has the world been so de-
pendent upon a crop that is now mere
ly at its first stage of development.
Think of the trade being bare of old
cotton on September 1, light stocks of
cotton goods at all milling points, and
the supply of the raw staple for the
ensuing twelve months still in natures
care! Imagine how easily the wither-
ing blasts of the sun, unusal down
pours of rain, depreciation of insects,
or other ills to which the cotton plant
is SO susceptible, could curtail this
prospective supply.
Nothing less than United States
crop of II, 900, 600 bales will be fully
sufficient for the worlds needs the
coming season. To get this Texas
must produce 100000 and other
Southern States 5000, 600 bales. 1t is
hardly possible that either group will
furnish such a yield Just at present
the indications are for total crop in
the neighborhood of 10000, 600 bales.
A yield no larger than that ought
to bring at least cents pound, I'M
less there should be some great disas-
ter in commercial and financial circles
that is not now in the range of proba-
bilities.
The farmer should bear in mind this
year that cotton is scarce the world
over, and that every bale he produces
will be worth a good price. Too much
of it can not come forward IN August
and September, but after October / it
should be marketed slowly and judi
ciously in order that the buyer may
not have the advantage of heavy re-
ceipts with which to depress prices,
