Responsibility Fixed.

The New York Mail has finally fixed
the responsibility for the baldhaaded-
ness of the men Of this generation.
the Watertown Times-Staldard states.
It Is the nightcap that did the mis-
chief, and while it did not make the
generation that wore 1t baldheaded, it
weakened the hair producing organs
and subsequent generations have mad
to pay for the same. That is The
New York Mails explanation. 1t is
tust as good as any. Still the musi-
clans explanation given a short time
ago, that baldheadedness was caused
by antagonlstic vibrations OF certain
tunes, is rather better, because it ap-
pears so rluch more scientific and
gives range for wider speculation.

When the doctor takes his own med

recommends some confidence comes
to the observer.
A grocer, Of Ossian, Ind, had prac-
tical experience with food worth any

He says: "SiX years ago I became

and began to move about.
II have been improving regularly
and now in the past two years have
been working about fifteen hours 4

in my life.
During these two years I have new

meals q day, but the entire breakfast
is always. made OF Grape-Nuts and
cream alone.
"Since commencing the use OF Grape

thing l had 10 do for years, but this
food keeps me regular and in fine
shape. and am growing stronger and
heavier every day.

: Moscow, BY Cable Nemirocich
Danchenko, the wcll-known Russian
war correspondent OF the Associated
Press, telegraphing from Mukdcn un-
Ter Sundays date, says the reports
af the death of General Kuroki are
confirmed. According 10 his version,
!he splinter of a shell struck General

that a kinsman Of the Mikado, Siaos-

ST the army has been entrusted to

Macon, Special. .-Harvic Jordan. OF
Monticello. Ca. president of the
Southern Cotton Growers Protective
Association. has issued an address to
The cotton producers Of the South in
which he says, among other things:
"The producers are to be congratu-
lated for the firm stand they have al
rca:'y taken to market the crop slow
ly, and that fact alone has prevented
tie price from falling to s cents dur
ing the month of October. The crop is
about gathered, debts generally are
paid and il Is no longer absolutely
necessary TO sel-the balance OF the
crop. The ginners' report recently is
sued from the United States census
bureau indicated that UP to October
18th only 100000 bales OF cotton had
been ginned. This report clearly indi-
Gates that this crop will not exceed
Ii ,OO0, 600 bales, if it reaches that fg-
ure. The spinners can we'll afford to pay
the producers II cents per pound for
every bale of American short staple
cotton made this season and do prof.
table business for the stockholders.
The price Of yarns has advanced
cents per pound within the past SO
days and an unprecedented demand
for cotton goods exists. while stocks
are generally lower than they have
been for the past 20 years. The duty
OF the producers is plain and simple.
They have crowded the markets Tor
the past two months, congesting every
facility for handling cotton and play
ing into the hands of the bear specula-
tors and spinners. The thing to do
now is to give the markets and ship
rers rest during the next 90 days anu
allow present stocks of spot cotton to
he gotten, out Of the way. Let the
spinners who are living from hand to
mouth run short of cotton and force
them into the markets as active buy
ers. Let the bear spectators begin
10 feel the lash of the bull operators
when the latter cal. for the deliveries
CT spot cotton which the former Will
be unable to deliver.
"Let every holder of cotton stop sell
ing cotton and contemplate results.
Let each holder determine to put no
more cotton on the market until prices
advance and never sell bale on de-
pressed market.
LET county meetings be held all over
the belt, and strong and active steps
be taken to defend this most valuable
agricultural product from, the rapa-
cious greed of the selfish spectators.
Let every man who still holds bale
OF cotton in his possession join in
these county or. local meetings. and
agitate the Importance OF this step
among his neighbors. to the end that
success in the near future will be as
sured. We have held our own we'll 50
lar, but we can do much better anu
easily advance the price from 2 to 3
cents by persstently refusing to sell
and tightening up present receipts. ;.
