MisstatementS of Actual Facts.

the cotton trade has such a
multitudiness amount of Bear
dope and intentional misrepre-
SentatiOn of actual facts been
given to the South through paid
advertisements in the columns
OF the press and by the distribu-
ton of circnlar letters through
the mails. Operators who are
moving heaven and earth to
depress future contracts and
the prices of spot cotton are
cudgeling their brains in the
modern art of Juggling figures
and making new high records in
distOrting statistics in the
supreme effort to make a small
yield of American cotton take on
the appearance of a plentiful
supply. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars have been expended in
the past two months in cable
grams, paid articles in news
papers, postage and market
letters in an herculean under
taking to deceive the public, dis
courage the farmers and local
spot holders into rushing the
remnant of this crop on the
market. unsettle public opinion
in the South temporarily so as
to break the market and induce
liquidation. The spinnerS have
threatened to withdraw from the
market, which is an absurdity in
the face of their enormous com
mitments of the entire output of
their mills for the next six to
eigh months. Prominent
Bear" leaders take peculiar in
terest in daily publishing com
parative estimates of this crop
with years that have gone before.
These tangled and muchly Jug
gled statistics emanate from the
offices of gentlemen who breathe
the atmosphere of a climate one
thousand miles from Southern
cotton fields and whose eyes
have not witnessed the actual
condition of a single cotton field
in the South this year. The
statistics and daily reports which
they put out in the ~stupendous
effort for private gain r simply
the nightmares of overcharged
brains rejecting individual
views in the forlOrn hope of
changing at least temporarily
the laws of supply and demand.
The interest of the spot holder is
not considered. The great
desideratum is paper contracts
and hot air. Thousands of
people read this 'Bearish Dope"
scattered over the South daily
and know it to be false, yet they
tremble in doubt and surrender
their honest convictions and
Southern manhood before the
edicts which emanate from the
fine italian hands of their en-
emies. This crop can no more
be compared with past yields in
the matter Of picking, ginning
and selling than could the enOr-
nous production of 1904. Let
every man in the South stand pat
on the actual conditions which
confront him. Spurn these Jug
gled statistics as you would an

VALUE OF A HENS EGG
Easily Assimilnted md Highly Nutri.
tious Food for Mon.

Here are some facts and figures
relative to the hens egg which may
not be without interest to the student
of poultry possibilities. Its average
length is two and twenty-seven hun
dredths inches, its average diameter
Mt the broad end one and seyenty-two
hlndredths inches, and it weighs
hbout one-eighth Of a pound. The
pullets' are smaller than those of old
hens. The shell constitutes about IL
per cent, the yolk 80 per cent ard the
white 81 per cent of the total egg.
Chemically speaking, an egg consists
of two nutrients-protein and fat-to-
gether with some water and n small
quantity Of mineral matter. Popular
belief to the contrary, there is no diff
ference In the nutritive qualities of
eggs with dark shells anc those with
light. Their flavor is affected by the
food of the fowl. for good or for evil.
Exhaustive experiments by we'll
equipped Investigators prove that the
egg deserves its reputation as an
easily assimilated and highly nutri-
tious food, il eaten raw or lightly
cooked. Such experiments also show
that eggs at IL cents per dozen are a
cheap source of nutrients: at 16 cents.
somewhat expensive. and at % cents
and over. highly extravagant. The
basis of comparison was the market
prices of standard flesh foods consid-
cred in relation to their nutritive eie-
ments. But there is physiological
constituent of eggs which is Of great
value. yet it defies the search of the
scientist or the inquisition of the sta
tisticiaL, and that is their palatability.
Unless 1 food. however rich In pro-
te'As Is r,llshed. it loses much OF its
value, while per coctra. less chemi-
cally desirable food that is enjoyed
becomes valuable by reason Of that

KEEPS WOMEN POSTED.

Warrington Girl Tells Busy Ma
irons About Current Events.
One of the institutions of Washing
ton is the course of lectures given by
Miss Janet Richards every. Monday
morning Mt hall on G street. Miss
Richards talks about current events;
that is, she tells busy women what is
going ON in the world and keeps them
informed on political literary and So
cial topics, which they are too busy or
too tired to read about. Miss Rich
ards is we'll known and has the gift
Of gab-to be slangy-and the most
remarkable flow of words, says the It.
Paul Dispatch. She can tell you
more in an hour than most persons
can in two, and it is not surprising
that her morning lectures are very
popular. In Washington, more than in
almost any other city in the country,
the women who go out want to be up
to date and informed Of current events,
as the men they meet are almost all
in public life, and they like women
who know something. Hence Miss
Richards was clever enough to take
advantage of this desire. and many
years ago she established her morn
ing current topic talks, and made a
success Of them. Not only does she
read and keep herself posted, but she
personally interviews diplomats and
public men to get their views at first
hand, thus being able to give her lis
teners the benefit Of inside knowledge
of interesting questions. Every Mon
day morning you will find her lecture
room filed by women we'll known in
official life and social life in Washing
ton, and to many this hour is the most
restful of the week. 1t is an easy way
to keep posted. Miss Richards goes
every second week to New York, Phil
adelphia and Newark, where her talks
are as we'll liked as they are in Wash
tngton.

ABOUT ANIMALS. wANoeR,Nes.
Rats tho Most Misratory-Lemming
Race with Death.

Race with Death.
The fable Of the country mouse and
the town mouse has a foundation in
fact. Mice OCCASIONALLY migrate IN large
numbers when food grows scarce and
travel considerable distances to get
fresh houses. Farmers in a part of
Perthsihre. says London Answers, had
a good reason to become aware of this
fact when, couple of years ago, vast
swarms of mice invaded their corn
fields at harvest time.
But the mouse only travels when II
has to. The rat. on the contrary, seems
TO take n yearly outing, in very much
the same fashion as do human beings.
Rats are the most migratory creatures
in the world. Whole troops Of rats
leave the towns at the end Of summer
and spend month or two in the coun-
try, apparently in order to enjoy the
change Of food which the country af-
foi,is at that time of the year in tie
way of fresh fruit and grain. Before
the cold weather sets in they are all
back in their old quarters.
Reindeer migrate with the same reg,
ularity us rwallows. They move south
when winter sets in, but as soon as
ever the snow begins to melt they
travel steadily north, sometimes for as
much as 1000 miles.
To end holiday by deliberate sui.
ci6a is so strange a phenomenon that
for long time naturalists looked upon
the stories of the migration of the
Jennings as an improbable fiction
Yet the facts are beyond dispute. a,

SEQUoYAH WAS A GENIUS.
Wes Inventor of Alphabet and CALI
ed "American Cadmus."

ed "Anerican Cndmus.'
Sequoyah, for whom it has been suS-
gested that the proposed new State be
named, was n genius of his day, and
all Indians have agreed that lis name
should be perpetuated by giving it to
the State. IL separate statehood is
granted, says the MuskoSee u. IT, cor
respondent of the st. Louis Globc-Dem-
ocrat.
Sequoyah was half German, and his
German name was George Guess
Ghiest. He was born in the old Chero-
kee Nation. Georgia. He couH neither
read nor write, yet was the Inventor
of the Cherokee-American alphabet.
and was styled among the Indians as
the American "Cadmus." He was born
about 1163, and died in 1914, while in
search of lost band of Cherokee In
dlans in Mexico. He perfected the al
phabet in 1921. and since 1929 books
and newspapers have been published
in the Cherokee language. In 1922 lie
moved to the new Cherokee Nation.
Indian Territory. and lived near where
the town of Muldrow now stands, his
trading post being Fort Smith, Ark,
some of the old inhabitants of which
still remember him.
The Cherokee-Amerlcan alphabet
contains eighty-six characters, and is
one of the wonders of the world. con-
sidering the fact its originator was
an illlterate Indian. The Indian mind
IS remarkable for its association of
ideas, and the idea Of writing by Sc
quoyah's method was at once asso-
.ciated with branding cattle. and to this
day the words, writing, printing OF
branding are expressed in the Chero-
kee tongue by the same word: "De.
.gah-la-tah-naah." Sequoyah carved
the various characters out of the bark
of trees. and to this fact 95 per cent
of the Chez okees owe their ability to
read and write.
The bible was translated into the
Cherokee language and has been the
means of teaching Christianity among
these Indians. The Cherokee Advo
cate, established at TahleqpalI In 1914
is still In existence, and $ the only
newspaper Of the kind in 'he world.
