The Fearful Price of "Cheapness.''
Mems shirts, made by tired women

In speaking of his machine, DIR.
Deadriek says:
We are aware that the great trou-
bic in picking cotton by machine IS
that it does not mature at the same
time The fruit on the lower limb
begins to mature in August and early
IN September. This process of ma
turing begins at the bottom of the
plant, at the lower limb and gradually
approaches the top. The time re-
quired III maturing is almost three
months. Now in picking cotton by
machine it Is necessary that we pick
it just as it is done by hand today.
The lower limb constitutes the first
picking or the bottom crop. The
middle portion constitutes the second
picking, and the top Of the plant the

NEGRO ELKS SUSPENDED.
Lodges of the Improved" Order ir
:. New York and Brooklyn Gust
ed for Insubordination.

The two negro lodges of E1ks in
this borough and of Brooklyn have
been suspended from the Improved
Benevolent Protective Order of Elks
of the World
The order of suspension has been
sent to its other lodges by B. F. How
ard, of Covington, KY, the supreme
exalted ruler of the negro Elks.
The lodges in New York were
charged with insubordination, as the
result of the crusade that the white
Elks of the city and state have been
making against the negro lodges.
There have been several arrests OF
negroes for wearing on their coats
and watch charms elks' heads, which
the white Elks asserted was the en-
blem of their order and which no ne
groes had a right to wear. 1t was
held in court that the negro Elks
could wear the emblem so long as
they used the word Improved" in
connection with their elk head.
The last grand lodge of the negro
Elks determined that the next session
should be held in Brooklyn in August
but when the white Elks began to
have the negro Elks arrested, Su

and propose to hold grand lodge
session of their own. They persuaded
the lodge Of Jersey City to agree tc
attend their session, and it is for this
reason that they have been suspended
