The reduction of cotton acreage is a
question our farmers should take into
consideration. The stiff prices of last
fall is calculated to induce the planting
of more cotton, and the additional use
of commercial fertilizers. Farmers
make a big mistake in hamperine
themselves with going in debt to buy
fertilizers and take the chances of low
prices for their product, and the only
way to maintain living price for cot
ton is to avoid raising an over supply.

The tobacco growers have frequently
complained of exorbitant warehouse
charges and have asked for legislative
protection, but as yet no steps have
been taken by them to indicate to the
legislature the protection they desire.
If the tobacco growers will hold ameet-

they want, we feel sure the representa-
tives will endeavor to get an act on the
Statute books.

dimpLcs and Joy. The most
pitiful thing. is that same baby,
thin and in pain. And the
mother does not know that a
little fat makes all the differ
ence.
Dimples and JOY have gone,
and left hollows and fear; the
fat, that was comfort and
color and curve-all but pity
and love--is gone.
The little one gets no fat
from her food. There is some
thing wrong;itis either her food
or food-nill. She has had no
fat for weeks; is living on what
she had stored in that plump

gone. She is starving for fat;

nothin' but set still, which was puZzlin'.

the other side.
'Yes, sir; under the ship as slick as

whale was scientist, sir. He calkiated
all right to lose the boat; but, bless you,
it's bigger job than anyone wanted
to- tackle to stave that craft, an as for
floatin, she was boxed at each end an
couldn't sink. But that amt the end
of the story. We remembered the fell
lers that jumped an we seen the big
boat would pick 'em up before we could
put another over, so we turned to look
at Frank again. There weren't anythin'
left in the boat to bail with an he
couldn't do nothin' but wait on the
pleasure of that whale. He travelled

Then he got old Liz in range. Up his

| could see Frank wade forrard in the
boat an try to pay out line, but it was
I sjammed, an before he could make it
loose the boat gave jerk round, ell

us. | suppose, more properly speakin',

the line an just hung on. l reckoned
the boat was movin' faster'n ever, only
she didn't throw so much water, cause
she set down almost to her rowlocks.
We stood speechless while she was driv-
in for us. When she got within 100
yards the mate took a big breath and
let fly:
Jump, you Dutch lubber, or you're

And wait for harmonies to come.

When human hearts are cold and numb.
'Tis not enough to calmly wait
That quickening dew should on us fall.
To vaguely long for what is great
While still pursuing what Is small.
'Tis not enough with tears of woe
To weep for all the worlds distress,
The drops that from inaction flow
Nor us. nor other lives, will bless.
'Tis not enough the love to take
That other hearts on ours outpour;
The soul is only kept awake
By giving something from it's store.

And aimless feet to walk this earth;
Effort alone can blessing bring
And crown the soul with sovereign

But he warn't. No, sir. The boat
hadn't travelled 20 yeard afore she
righted, an we seen Franks head bob
up over the gunnel. Well, old whale
didn't run SO far this time, for he broke
water few hundred fathom off. In
about a minute he sent up stream of
blood. l seen then that the harpoon
was good throw, an he wasn't goin' to
fight long.

ond the little boat slowed again an we
knew he was comm at us. There warn't
no way to make the Dutchman Jump,
an there warn't no way to stop the

little boat made tracks for us like she
was goin' to ram. just when 1 reck-
oned by the line out that the whale was
passin' under us there was tremen-
dous bang an every mothers son was
throwed fiat. Old Liz rolled to staA
board an then back to port an lay
rockin' while we got up. Reckon you
guess what happened, Doc? That whale
miscalkilated. He laid his course fine
as silk, but his elevation was off a
couple o. points. He didn't fetch deep
enough, an hit old Liz welt tha'd
like to rip the keel off her That set
tied the business, too. We looked over
the rail an seen some bloody water,
then a fiipper and soon big black
body floated up alongside. There was
our whale, sir, dead as hunk O. salt
pork, with the top O. his head half tore
off. He was blue whale, Doc, and he
measured close to 62 feet. What be-
come O. the Dutchman? Why, the boat
slowed down when the whale rammed
us an the other boat took him off.
Hurt? No. He went to work cuttin'
up that whale along with the rest of

decision handed down by the supreme
court of errors this week in the case Oh

municipal authorities Of New Haven
granted the petition of the company 10
Law a double track to East Haven, WIN
the proviso that only five-cent rare

senting the condition, appealed TO the

the condition is void because the mu-
