Cotton is opening very rapidly now,
and the picking season is in full
swing. Very little of the staple has
been placed on the market. The cool
weather has been detrimental to tina
cotton crop, and the drought cut off
the peas, potatoes, fruits and gardens
in this locality.

IN earning Ills saIary. we all know rnat our
city is the coming metropolis of the central
West and that our mayor is most ardently
working toward that end. Long live his kind!
Another echo OF the populi:
Our mayor is working for effect. That Is all
right in some lines, but we Of the opinion
that he could better work for the benefit OF
the city he represents in some other way. We
do Tot Want our mayor 10 dig i'll the streets we
want the streets clean, but willing to
allow our mayor to employ cleaners for that
purpose and retain the dignity of his office in
more conventional manner. We agreed that
he earns his salary without any undue exer-
ton"
The preceding, while perhaps rather fanciful,
gives idea of what actually occurred in the
city of Hammond, Ind, one day little over a
week ago.
Mayor A. F. Knots is indeed Of the strenuous
class He undoubtedly has the good of his city
at heart and works to it's betterment in every
of his methods may be criticised, they also
as readily commended. In his opinion the
mayor of a city should do for the people and
that city everything that is possible for its
welfare If street cleaning is needed, why should
he not set the example? This question is part
of his argument.
The following will throw much light on his
sentiments and his policy:

BADGES FOR UNRULY BOYS
Do Not Bow Their Heads in Shame When Punished

ous and II was considered the proper thing to
take the hardest kind of whipping on the hands
without murmur. We used to rosin our hands
daily in order to be in condition to bear stohdiy
q heavy application of the teachers ruler
got II many time but 1t never hurt much.
Whatever the theory upon which the punish
ment was inflicted it was failure. Instead of
being considered a degradation by us we re-
garded O hand whacking something to be
sought 1t is true that other good little boys
looked upon us as abandoned youth who ought
to bow our heads in shame at being publicly
whipped.
1--WE regarded 1t in another light however, and
that is, 1 am afraid the light in which the
parole badges provided these boys regarded.
The boys parole show these badges proudly
and are envied by their fellows who haven't
had the honor of being arrested and hailed be-
fore judge. If 1t creates anything this wear
ing of parole badges, it creates a spirit of emu
lation to get into the tolls of the law"

At the noon hour they sat themselves upon

they smoked cgars).
During the afternoon word came to the mayor
that the representatives of a large syndicate
desired audience with him. Without degn-

the meeting, and just forcefully guarded the
interests of his city if he had worn dress

A Ions Island farmer came to

shopping the other day On his way
back the thought came to him that he
had forgotten something. He took
out his notebook and went over each
item, checking it Off, and saw that he
had made all the purchases he intend

aside the feeling that there was some

notebook and rechecked every item.
but still found no mistake. He did
this several times, but could not rid
himself Of the idea that he must have
forgotten something. When he
