TENDER IL, give estimates, expressed in per
centages. Of the probable yield Of the cot
ton crop of Texas and the Territories for
the season OF 19O2OS. The average of these
estimates for Texas alone indicates a de
crease Of 20 per cent in the cotton crop,
compared with 1901-02, and for the Terri
tories a decrease OF per cent. year ago
the News published a similar statement,
giving the average Of correspondents ea
Inmates. The result proved this average to
have been 10 per cent out OF the way
hence II is possible that 10 per cent should
be deducted from the above 20 per cent to
Offset the strong tendency Of farmers TO
make crops appear worse than they are
However. based upon the correspondents
estimates solely, the outturn for each sec

Minister'S and Chess.

"a considerable proportion OF chess
players are clergymen," minister said
the other day. If you doubt this, con-
suit in the newspapers and the week
lies the column devoted to questions
and answers regarding the game and
TO chess tournaments. 1t will amaze
you the number of 'Rev.'s' and ID.
DIS that you will come upon there.
Chess is, you sec. a game too weighty
and serious for most people, who like
in their amusement to unbend. But
this very weightiness, this very seri-
BUSINESS, is what makes it so particular
~ attractive to ministers, for they can
not afford to unbend in their play to
the same extent that others can: hence
chess for them rather than pingpong. ("
