Improving cottoa Seed.

Cotton Pint
Recently much has been said by
cotton experts as to the deterioration
of cotton seed as the prime cause Of de-
creased production OF lint. There is
not much truth in that statement
But it ls evidsn: tina. owing to the plan
of ginning cotton these days seed aye
pretty thoroughly mixed. But Is is
not difficult matter to improve the
seed. When farmer decides on va
riety that suits him, let him Tut a
careful hand or two to picking choice
bolls from choice stalks. After be has
made that selection and gathered 800
or 400 pounds .of. seed cotton, he will be
sure OF good seed OF one variety. He
n,ay have to wait till the ginning sea-
son is nearly ovsf 1nd perhaps pay
something extra to have a small lot
ginned. Five hundred pounds OF seed
cotton will give ten bushels of the Sc
lect seed. Let e similar selection OF
choice bolls from best stalks be made
from that crop. He will then lie able
t., exhibit variety OF cotton that Is
the same Throughout the field. 1t
stands to reason that improved cotton
seed viii increase the yield. Well &C.
lected corn is be tier than TIC shattered
corn picked up In the bottom OF the
crib. There is no reason why indus
trious, young farmers should not I'm
prove their cotton seed until select lots
will bring one dollar per bushel. There
Is fne opportunity for a careful
young farmer to get one dollar bush
ell for choice seed instead OF % cents
at the oil mills. Thoroughbred seed
of any kind will always be In demand
at fair Price.

Just Be Glad.

Selected.
Be glad. When you have said all
there is to say about lies sorrow, dis
appointment and pain, about the sci
fishness and wrong that sweep over
the earth like dark shadows /; about the
ehortness OF Its days and the certainty
OF its nights, it still remains b'essedly
true that the universe Is thrilling with
the song of gladness.
Be glad for the beauty OF the spring:
tune, the blue OF the skies, the music
Of the birds, and the glory OF the sun
sets. Listen to the laughter of the lit
tie children, answer to the handcIasp
OF friendship, grow warm in the love-
light of countless happy homes, and be
SIRE that somewhere over and above
all is a great Loye that makes all these
things possible.
Note the noble lives aroncd you-
commonplace, it may be, but nnselfish,
brave and true. Note the deeds oil
quiet seli=sacrilice, the swift rush oil
human kindness to every place of need,
the uprising OF stately walls to sheltet
the weak and helpless, and believe, II
you can. that the kingdom OF Christ is
coming in the hearts of the children
of men.
o, put away gloom and grief and
complaining! DO his work, trust his
promise, and be glad.

sufferer has to sit up in bed to breathe are
the most common symptoms of a weak heart

do not understand their meaning should be

A JAPANESE SQUADRON
Watching Russian Ships
at Shang Hal.

Shang Hal, Aug. 22-The Russian
consul general here replying again to
the demands Of the taotai of the port
that the Askold and the Grosovoi dis
arm or leave port, stated that he con-
siders the demand unreasonable and n
violation of the rights of Russia as a
beingerent. He refused to order the
war vessel to quit Shang Hal.
The Chinese newspapers here are
urging the Pelting government to send
enough warships here to uphold the
taotai but so far nothing has been
heard from the empress dowager The
taotai has referred the matter to the
consular body which meets here this
afternoon. He has also addressed q
note to the British consul general ask
ing that official to instruct the British
company which controls the dry dock
in which the Askold is berthed to exc
cute on the Russian warship only such
repairs as will make her seaworthy and
to refrain from doing anything that
will increase her war power.
There was street brawl last night
in the shipping district between a body
of Russian and French sailors on the
one hand and a number of Japanese
residents on the other. The partici-
pants were separated without serious
injury having been done but the incl
dent has increased the tension created
by the presence OF the Russian war
craft.

DECISION
Against the Right Of a
State.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 21.-The
judge advocate general of the navy
has ruled that the state of Virginia
has not the right under its police pow
er to exercise control over and sup
ervise the handling of property Of the
federal government within the borders
Of the state, and impose charge
therefor upon the government. The
decision was made In ruling against
the payment Of claim of $25.9S made
by the state of Virginia as fees assess
ed against consignment Of powder
shipped by the government from Iona
Island to Norfolk.
BY a law passed In $780, the state
Of Virginia created position to be
filled by powder officer" whose
duties were to insure the safety of men
handling the explosives at the large
ports. The salary of this officer, so the
law read, was to be paid by collection
Of fees from the consignee Of explo-
sives, the basis of the fee being cents
keg. In handing down his opinion
the Judge advocate general said among
other things: IF Virginia may un-
dertake to enforce such police regu-
lation it follows that every other state
may do the same. III state may con-
troll the transfer of powder belonging
to the government, it may inspect a
regiment of calalry under police regu-
lation providing for the inspection of
all horses coming across its border
and stop their entry into the state"
