"On account of large receipts from
weak holders throwing their cotton

farmers felt that they had to sell

any cotton for less than eleven cents.

teIest, which goes to the upbuilding
OF our country. The spectators
have Just realized that this cotton
crop is shorter than expected, and
that there will not be enough cotton
to meet the demand of actual con-
sumption. Some say that if cotton
goes any higher you can stop farm
ing or any other man can shut up
business. Do not put your cotton
at the mills to be used unless you
sell, for in doing this you are feeding
the mills and lessening the demand.
We have good grade of cotton,
averaging over middling. Those of
you who hold cotton for higher prices
put it under shelter. You can in

If there is not enough offered for

WAYS ARE DARK
POSTOFFICE PEOPLE WILL KEEP

Closing Of One Agency from Privilege
of the Mails Merely Follows Out a
General Policy-Game Oten Degener-
ates Into Cheap Confidence Deal to
Fleece Victims. '~

With the closing of the Allison mat
rimonial and introduction bureau by
the fraud order issued by the postof-
flee department, Minneapolis takes rank
amongst the few cities which do not
suffer from such institutions. While
the investigation was entirely local, it
followed in line with the new policy of
the postofice department todeny the
use Of the mails to concerns which ex-
ist only to separate citizens and their
coin.
"While it is probable that people
who so readily risk their money in such
sort Of schemes will not hold on to it
day, "the department does not propose
to be party to such schemes. "Many
of the matrimonial agencies are not
such open frauds as the Allison bureau
They do have people on their lists who
exist. In such cases it is hard to prove
fraud. Probably. some marriages do re-
suit and some Of them may be happy
But the idea Of the agencies is to get
the registration fee and not to promote
the welfare of their constituents.
Gin some cases the game becomes
more of a buncombe. For instance, a
man is attracted by the alleged charm
of some beautiful and wealthy woman
who is advertised as searching for a

JOY OYER SMELLING LINE

APOLIS RECEIVED BY DEPUTA-

TANNED.

City officials and army officers, with
plain civilians and soldiers, witnessed
the formal ceremony Of wedding Min
neapolis and Fort Smelling by trolley
today. Cars have been running for sew
eral days.. but the occasion has been
awaited so long 'andF'every one con-
cerned is so pleased over the realiza.-
tion of their hopes that it was deemed
best to have a formal inauguration.
The Minneapolis officials, headed by
Mayor D. P. Jones and the deputation
from the Commercial club led by Presi-
dent F.. r. Salisbury, left in special cars
at $3.50 and made a quick run to Fort
Smelling, where the entire population
was out to welcome the Minneapolis
party. There were mutual congratulate
tions and fluctuations, some appropri-
ate remarks and other doings The SOL
diers gave a full dress parade and a
light battery drill as part Of their con-
trlbution to the program.
The exercises were to have ended
with a dinner at the club, but so many
of the members are at the lake and the
dinner would so greatly derange their
plans that the dinner was abandoned

Former Governor Samuel R. Van SAINT
is to become a Minneapolitan Sept. l.
The lares and ,penates Of the former
governors family, that have been
housed at tho Aberdeen in st. Paul
for four years past, are to be trans
ferred to the Hampshire Arms in Min
neapolis.
For some years S. R. Van SAINT and
his son, Grant Van SAINT, have been in
terested in the Johnson-Van SAINT COM
pany with offices in the Bank of Com
merce building. After his removal to
Minneapolis Mr.. Van SAINT will make his
headquarters at the Minneapolis office.
The announcement Of the contem-
plated move on the part Of the former
governor comes thru one Of his most in
innate friends and is thoroly vouched
for. 1t is possible that, the manifest
superiority of the mill city az real
city was so strongly demonstrated by
the census returns that the governor
could not keep away. His son will care
for the business of the st. Paul office
1t is also possible that the doughty anti
merger governor intends to continue
active in politics, and has decided that
Hennepin county is a good field in which
to operate, decisiont which worked to
the advantage Of his predecessor.

GIRLS MAY BATTLE, TOO
THEY WILL BE GIVEN HALF DAYS
AT HALLS ISLAND BATHHOUSE
BOYS ALREADY IN.

No provision has been made for ac-
commodating the girls at the bath
houses on Hall s island, but this over
sight will be righted. Girls are not in
the habit Of getting drowned in the
river, and as the chief object of the
bathhouse was to save the boys, the
girls were overlooked in the plans.
This morning Dr.. P. M. Hall received
a petition from eighteen little girls of
the Blaine school asking that stair
way be built from the Plymouth ave-
nue. bridge to the island instead of
connecting the island from the east
shore, which would compel the children
residing on the west side to make a
long walk around. Their alarm was
needless, for it has already been de-
cided to build a stairway from the
bridge.
But it occurred to DIR. Hall that he
had forgotten the girls. They, will be
provided for, however, by giving them
the exclusive use Of the baths two half
days week, one morning and one af-
ternoon. If necessary they will be
given more half days. ~
Lumber for the lighthouses and the
stairways arrived today and the work
of construction is being rapidly pushed

Thirty years ago E. o. Jones left

country. He went west, became the
owner OF a cattle ranch in South Da-

with substantial fortune. This spring
he determined to return to his native
land and visit the brother and sister
he had left behind. He found that his
brother was dead and the home broken
up. After a long search he succeeded
in finding his sister, who was living in
very reduced circumstances. Brother
and sister are at the Hyser hotel to-
day en- route to their home in Brit

BAIRD TALKS OF

MICHIGANS ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
NOW IN MINNEAPOLIS.
Surprised to Hear that Nebraska Does
Not Wish to Observe Conference
Rules-Says Wolverines and Gophers
Have Little Show of Getting To-
gether-Baseball Outlook Bad.

Charles Baird, director Of athletics at
the University Of Michigan, is in
Minneapolis for the day on his way to
the west. He declines to make any
statement in reply to the claim Of Cap
tain Borg OF Nebraska, that the con-
tract for the MichiganN ebraska game
IS SO Worded that Nebraska will not be
bound by the conference rule in regard
to freshman players.
MT. Baird said, 81 have not seen the
Nebraska contract since it was signed,
some time last February, and do not re-
call its exact wording. In any case I
could not make any statement of Michi-
gan s construction of the contract or of
IT'S attitude IN the matter until it has
been brought before the athletic board.
This is the first time 1 have heard of
Nebraska's claim and have thought
right along that Nebraska would play
under the conference rules.'

is question with me whether baseball
can last much longer as an ihtercollegi

as it is played by professionals and then
too, it is hard to keep the professional
player off the college team. We must
