Don Dean, the man in charge of the

his life.
The fact that Don's birthday oc-
Cured on Washington's Birthday was
considered as sufficient cause for
the celebration, even though it was
not carried out until several days af-
terwards. This fact, however, did not
seem to mar in the least the pleasure
OF the occasion, as all present had the
most enjoyable time of their life.
The enjoyable features of the eve
ming were the pedro games which in

dancing to the music of Wild Howe's
Old time violin music, and when il is
considered that for the past half
century this veteran fidler has cater
ed to the wants of those who delight
to trip the light fantastic toe. the
pleasure of that portion of the pro-
gram was, of course, guaranteed.
Fine Refreshments were served in
the course of the evening and in the

turned to their respective homes well

British Expert Wants Growing Of Cot.

London. April 26.-The Board Of
Trade has issued a report on cotton
cultivation in the British Empire and
Egypt, compiled by Wyndham H.
Dunstan. Director of the Imperial In
stitute This is of Il preliminary char
acter.
Mr.. Dunstan considers that the cot
ton area of India. especially Burmah.
will be increased. although Indian cot
ton is not suitable for the British
market. He looks to little extension Of
the production in Egypt. but dilates on
the favorable prospects of the Soudan.
where the AREA open for planting cot
ton is four times as great as in Egypt.
The report anticipates the gradual de-
velopment of cotton cultivation In
protectcrates and the partial revival of
it's production in the West Indies.
Mr. Dunstan points out that the Brit
i.N cotton industry is almost entirely
dependent on the United States. He
considers the shortage Of American
supplies In this country to be perma-
nent, as the extension of manufacture
in the United States will entail greater
home consumption.
Mr. Dunstan declares that the para
mount position of the United states In
cotton cultivation is largely due to the
opere tions of well-organized and splen-
didly equipped experiment stations OF
the Department OF Agriculture and
considers that the best means OF help
