She had a hard battle with the seas

Cotton Crop Scarce.

The government bureau of Stats
tics has been up to its old tricks
again. According to it's report pub
lished last week, the crop fey this
year is estimated at II, 678, 000l0ales,
in consequence Of which the1 rkct
took q sensational drop of early
fifty points, yet only a few hours
previousto this report Of the Bureau
of statistiA which, it should be
remembered, iAonly the ~guess@ork
of more or less Nccmpetont---6r in
compent---experts, the census bu-
reau reported that the number of
bales ginned up to December LIST
had been only 1888, 1854 bales.
These were no guesswork figures,
but actual facts. In commenting
on this palpable effort Of the gov
ernmcnt bureau to fa!sify the size
Of this year'scotton crop the Angus
ia Herald says:
TO the corresponding date for
last year the ginners reports show
ed a total Of 10, 2 1868 bales ginned,
when the total crop for the season
was 13,656,84l bales; and for the
proceeding year the figures we're
8l689, 663 and 10, 1913, 6S6 respective
ly. The cotton season was Lack
ward last year, it will be remember
ed, causing lighter ginning in the
early part of the season, and more
late picking and ginning. Then al
so it must be remembered that 1his
year we had the earliest frosts) on
record. which cut short the late ror
and hurried the picking and GIN ing
of that which matured. These Y,on.
~siderations are convincing proof that
the guesswork figures of the bureau
of statistics Overshoot the marx
and the census bureaus figures OF
the actual number of bales GIN sd
indicate that the crop will be be "
the governments estimate
Even assuming that the COVE 1
ment estimate was correct. and : DC
crop this year will be 11,G00,t &c
bales this would still be a short
crop in view Of the market tie
mands. The crop last year was
about this size and it followed
the great bumper crop Of over
ID. 800, 600 bales, which left a lar
ger surplus to carry over taan
usual. Yet this 1900, 900 bale crol
or last year proved so far snort tina,
cotton climbed to unprecedented
figures before the newcrop came IN.
If the crop this year should prove
as large as the bureau of statistics
estimates, with the same demand,
AID other conditions being an
changed, there would be d d1arth If
cotton next sumner which would
run the price up at least as high as
it was last summer.
But the government estimate is
too high, rs will later appear. In
addition to that there is increased
demand; for many new mills have
been built during the year which al
consume cotton. The farmer so sit
uated as to be able to hold cotton,
and who is holding 1T. has nothing
to do but to sit steady in the boat.
He will be master of the situation
after q while"

Farm Labor Scarce.

G.. A. Mclnory, of Wellsford,
Kansas, expresses the opinion that
farmers in his section would have to
go out of business but for the mod
ern farm machinery. Why" he
declares. you can't hire a man to
work on a farm out in that part of
the State short of So so to $500 a
day" This condition forces far
mers to use every kind of machinery
that is made for sowing AMI reaping.
They have steam plows and lots Of
them. These machines do che wo..k
OF many men and teams and in that
way farmers are enabled to plow
their wheat land and get it in shape
for seeding. If they had to wait
till they could hire men to pillow in
the old Way they could not raise
enough wheat for home consump-
ton. The interesting feature OF this
is its REPUTATION Of an old theory
that the coming Of machinery would
lower or throw out hand labor. 1t
seems, however, the more machlp-
cry the higher priced becomes
the individual laborer and the
greater difficulty Of securing his
services. Farmere have been coin
planning for yearAasho-a ], a:m1st
impossible to get sufficient help.

extract:
You think of the dead on Christmas
eve,
Wherever the dead are sleeping,
And we from a land where we may
not grieve,
Looktenderly down on your weep
ing.
You think us far, we are very near,
From you and the earth though
parted;
We sing tonight to conro'e and cheer
The hearts of the broken-hearted.
The earth watches over the lifeless
clay
OF each of it's countless sleepers,
And the sleepless spirits that passed
away
Watch over all earth's weepers.
We shall meet again in a brighter
land,
Where farewell is never spoken;.
We shall clasp each other, hand in
hand,
And the clasp shall not be broken;
We shall meet again in a bright calm
cline,
Where we'll never know a sadness,
And our lives shall be filled like q
Christmas chime,
With rapture and with gladness.
The snow shall pass from our graves
away,
And you from the earth, remem-
Der;
And the flowers from a bright, etcr-
nal May
Shall follow earth's December.
Wien you think of us think not of
the tomb
Where you laid us down in sorrow;
But 'Ook aloft, and beyond earth's
gloom, q
Ana wait for the great tomorrow.

"A PECULIAR o
or an Accident Which Bcfcll u Lad
in Georgia.

The Savannah Morning News says
one of the most remarkable and
horrible accidents on or off record
ha pened a day or two ago at Fay
Tors creek to the 12-year-old son Of
Mr.. Franz Sheppard,
The boy was grinding cane and in
some way was caught by the lever
back of his head and his face was
pressed against the frame Of the
mill. Both cyeballs were completely
taken out and lay on his cheeks and
several teeth in the middle of both
Jaws were crushed the force from
back and front Of his head being SO
great.
A large mule was hitched to the
mill and the resistance was such
when the skull became wedpcd be-
tween the lever and frame that the
anlnal was brought to a standstill.
Some one jumped to back the mule
IN order to free the boys head when
the animal took fright and made a
second lunge forward, gripping the
boys head.
AS soo as the lever was pushed
back the boy dropped to the ground
as though dead. He was picked up
ahd placed on his back by his father
and mother who mad no idea but
what he was dead. Some thought
ful person began pouring water on
his face and he was soon seen to
grasp for breath. The water was
kept up for a few minutes and his
breathing gradually became normal
and in an hour or two his face be-
gan swelling the llattencd condition
of his head to change and his eyes
returned to their sockets.

4. NJ. Clark, president OF the Columbia
Trust Company, left on the evening
tmin yesterday for New York and other
eastern cities on business trip OF sew
eIal weeks. He carried with him about
90 pounds OF pamphlets advertising As
toria and the surrounding section, the
booklets having just been printed by
his firm and circulated wherever the
work of the Chamber Of Commere has
reached.
With the splendid natural advantages
OF this section. Mr.. Clark stated yester-
day that he would be able to put in a
boost for this city at every turn, and
he means to let everybody he meets in
the east know of the prospects for set
tlement and investment in Clatsop
county.
He is making the trip on his own ac-
count, but he il so enthusiastic over
the future OF this city that he intends
10 do all he can to advertise this Sec
ton He will distribute pamphlets right
and left while in the east and it will Ger.
tainlv not be his fault ii eastern people
fail to be aware OF the advantages OF
this district,
While Mr.. Clark would say nothing as
to his business on the trip. it is under
stood that he is corresponding with a
number OF eastern men in regard to
investments in this district, and it
is therefore probable that his visit to
the other side of the United States will
bear good fruit in the boosting of As
toria and assisting her growth.
Mr. Clark is carrying with him pic
lures and literature on everything per-
training to the resources of the county,
In fact, it is probable that his excess
charges for baggage will mount into
considerable sum in his enthusiasm for
the growth of the county,
1t is certain that if every Astorian
who went east on visit carried with
him the same amount of enthusiasm and
literature, the growth of this section
would be the marvel of the entire west.
