It is thought that use has been
found for the cotton stalk that will
make it remunerative for the farmer
who saves the stalks of his cotton
crop and markets them properly. It
is given out that the finest grade of
paper can be made from the cotton
stalk, and that when the process is
developed in the largest measure the
cotton stalk will be very profitable
product Of the cotton plant. The
United States department of agricul-
ture, at the instance Of Congressma n
Howard, of the eighth district of Geor.
gia, mas taken up this natter for q
thorough investigation and just what
there is in it will be determined.
Everything points to success ia the
experiment.

They have way of settling law
suits in India that would be we'll to
copy in this country. When dis.
pute arises over the ownership of land
two holes are dug near together and
the two opposing lawyers nicely plant
ed up to their waist. The first one to
become bitten by bug or becomes 80
exhausted that he has to be exhumed
loses the case for his client. This
does away with unnecessary talking
and adds an interesting element OF
chance to the game.

Exports of manufactured good
make gratifying showing for the
past seren months, but the practice
OF including copper iugots and refined
mineral oil with the manufactures
makes the comparison more favorable
than it would be if the word were used
in its commoner and more restricted
sense. The exports Of manufactured
goods in seven months Of the fiscal
yssf were s10,Ooo,OOO greater than
they were in the corresponding por-
'tion OF the previous year. Butthe in. |.
