THE GREAT JUMP IN COTTON
The Present Outlook 10 For Fifteen
Cents For the Staple.
Harvie Jordan, President OF the Cot
ton Growers Association, L. Here
OF the Cotton Trade.

New York, Dec. C.--Jos. II. Hoadiey
Is the head Of the big bull pool which
is credited with having made nearly
100000 on rise in cotton. After the
market closed he said to reporter:
This government report means To-
cent cotton; there is no doubt OF that.
AS matter of fact, the actual produc-
ton of the pure cotton itself is fewer
than 10000, 900 bales. These fellows
on the cotton exchange are dealing In
paper cotton now. When they come to
deliver actual cotton they will have to
10y Is cents for 1t"
The hero of the cotton trade at pres
emit, as well as of the entire south, Is
Harvie Jordan, president of the Cot
ton Growers association. He It was
who organized the planters of the
south into combination to hold their
cotton, and called them to big con-
vention last spring in New Orleans
Mr.. Jordan then said to the planters:
IF you will but hold your cotton You
will sell 1t at ten cents pound, in
stead of five cents, and the five cents Is
inevitable If you do not follow this poll
ICY"
The farmers did hold their cotton
and it did sell at ten cents a pound.
Speaking of Jordan's work, prom
inent member of the cotton exchange
said
"If the growers stand together in the
fight for 15-cent cotton it looks as
though they would win victory which
would give to the growers Of the south
practically permanent power to DOM
mate he worlds cotton trade"
In Mondays astounding jump in cot
ton prices the crop value was increased
about S25,00O,000.

Masonic Presidents.

From Washington to Roosevelt
the great majority of presidents have
been members of the Masonic frater-
nifty. Only one, John Quincy Adams,
was avowedly anti-Masonic. He came
to the presidency during the days OF
the Morgan excitement, in the fore
part of the last century, and ne talk
ed and wrote against the order with
all his might for many years. His
distinguished father, however, was an
enthusiastic Mason and was buried
with Masonic honors. Andrew Jack
son was at on time grand master of
the grand lodge of Tennessee. An
informal poll was made or tie two
houses of congress a few years ago
by a Washington Mason, and 1t was
discovered that more than 81 per cent
of the members of the house were
in the order and more than so per
cent of the members of the senate

Money and Honesty.

Secretary Wilson, having reluctant
ly been convinced of crookedness in
his department, has come to the con-
clusion that the manipulation of crop
reports and the selling of advance
information concerning them must be
expected as long as the chief Stats
tican is paid only $4,000 a year.
The secretary of agriculture does
not think spotless man whom cal
jimmy will never dare to assail can be
had for less than $4,000 year.
The secretary's proposition is prac-
tically that man who gets $4,000 a
year is more honest and respectable
than man who gets only $500.
Some of the statisticans are ac-
cused of having made lot of money
on the side by selling government
secrets. The secretary's presumption
is that had the chiefs salary been
$4,000 the department would have
beer above. temptation.
Fortunately, there are means oil
seeing how this theory works in prac-
tice
Often enough underpaid bank
clerks go wrong But how much Of
tener are the bank wreckers among
the high paid officials?
Had The officers of the Euitable
zeen paid double the princely sal
aries and perquisites they actually
received, would the graft and scanda
never have occurred?
It's poor theory.
The great frauds and scandals in
politics and business do not come
through the men of humble salaries
An additional $500 a year might
help man to be honest if he were
SO disposed. But it would be of ever
greater assistance to him in being
dishonest if he were in, clined thai
way.

Rain Beneficial to Indiana Crops.

The Indiana crop bulletin for the
week says:
! Local storms, slightly damaging in
,, few places, but in most instances
beneficial on account of the accom-
panying rain, occurred in all sections.
and the temperature averaged slight
ly above normal during the week. In
eth central and north sections, how
ever, the need of rain was quite gem
eral until the night of the 18th, when
showers, more or less copious, great
ly improved the prospects for grow
ing crops.
1hreslling was interrupted where
storms occurred, and in places the
grain was materially damaged, but
generally, good progress has been
made with the work and the results
as to quality of the wheat, rye, oats
and barley, have been gratifying.
Corn has been blown down and to
some extent damaged in localities
Wnere storms occurred, and much OF
it in the north and central sections
is showing the effects of the prevail
ing drougthy conditions, but as a
whole the crop is very promising.
Early potatoes turn out only fairly
well, and the late crop does not
promise anay better.
Tomatoes and sweet corn are NOV
ing to the factories and cucumbers
are going to the salters quite freely.
A fair crop of peaches and a good
crop of grapes are ripening Apples
are scarce and continue to fall
Tobacco is being cut in the south
ern counties.
Fall blowing is in progress in all
sections.

Farmers win Plant More Wheat

Farmers are preparing to put out
more wheat this fall than was sown
last year, the good crop having given
them encouragement: Several years
past this country's wheat crop came
near being failure. Quite num-
Der gave up trying to raise wheat.
This years crop was up TO the STAN
dard and the acreage of next years
planting will be at least double this
years. A few of the farmers are put
ting their corn ground in wheat be-
cause the ground has remained in
good shape but the substantial farm
ers are holding to the old custom OF
blowing the oats stubbles under and
sowing the fields in wheat Fall
blowing has long been recognized as
one of the essentials in keeping farm
land in proper condition for cultiva-
tor and this year the ground is in
such excellent shape that much plow-
ing will be done.
