AS TO 15.cENr COTTON.

AS TO LUCENT COTTON.
The situktion and shortness oil
the crop seems TO fully justify
Is cents co!ton. but since the ac-
ton of our asso Citations, he price
has declined nearly three cents.
This shows there viii be heavy
opposition. The cotton buyers
and mill men are going 10 get il
as cheap as they can. They have
already secured thousands Of
bales at II cents for Oci ober and
November delivery. While few
do not endorse this selling for
future delivery, yet the South
can not hold all the crop, and
the delivery Of this cotton will
relieve the situation and enable
those who do hold to have a bet
ter chance with theirs. The bat
ties tor higher prices will never
be easily won; it will require
wise and united action on the
part OF our farmers 10 win the vic
tory and hold it. We say this on
the part of our farmers because to
secure success the farmers can
and must cooperate with the
"Union" in their struggle even
though they may not be mem
ber. The only thing that Will
enable us to get Is cents is to
keep the cotton off the market,
until it brings this price. Oar
advice to all who can, is not 10
gin your cotton in hurry un-
less you are forced to borrow
money on it. 1t will be all the
better for staying on the seed a
month or so. The rule all cot-
ton growers must adopt for self
preservation is 80 stop selling
whenever the market gees down;
10 cents may be obtained by the
Union, bot not withou. long
hard struggle; so if YOU want
the price prepare to keep your
cotton "otf the market"
AS TO CoTToNsEED.
The mills seem more willing
to give a fair price this year, and
they opened the market at
$500 per ton, some 100 more
than at opening Of last season.

Some board of trade men OF Chicago
bappeued out to Colorado last week
and were surprised to find that we
had some agriculture in this country,
One of them said that while farm
land within 100 miles of Chicago was
valued at sl75 to 5000 per acre, the
not income was not more than SIX
ner cent. For as good land In this
state. the earnings run from fifteen 10
tweuty.fl,s percent. Down In Iowa
tho gap in profits is still more marked.
Through some mistaken idea predico-
ed on boom that never materlalized'
land values were a few years ago
, forced up to s1OO to 1925 an acre,
which is beyond the limit of reason'
according to the cheap crops grown
there, One can scarcely make much
profit In growing forty bushels OF
corn worth fifty cents per bushel on
such land, and as result thousands
of farmers sold their farms and moved
ont Of the state, fact that accounts
largely for the decrease Of 1owas pop
ulatiou. The joke rests upon sucn
unfortunate fellows who bought tne
land in the anticipation Of making q
rood living, aud they will not be able
to do It, 60 that we may look for anotn-

oRANG-OUTANG IN A RACE.
Breaks Out of the Cage and Terrifies
Visitors at the Zoo.

Losing his temper, evidently by the
grimaces made by crowd of women
and children in the primate house III
the Geological Park Dohong, a large
orang-outang, pulled two iron bars OF
his cage from their fastenings and
sprang through the opening, armed
with one of the bars. In moment all
was confusion, and in the panic which
followed women and children fought
each other to get through the narrow
entrances to the walk, says the New
York Herald. Nobody was injured in
the rush and Dohong made no effort
to assault anybody.
After he had cleared the building
Dohong continued to brandish the iron
bar and remained master of the situ-
alton for a half-hour. Keepers Riley
and Engelholm were standing outside
the building when the crowd began to
rush out. They assisted the women
and children and then closed both
doors. A consultation was held and
many plans for the capture of DOhong
were suggested and rejected. Finally
Riley opened one of the doors and
looked in. Dohong was standing with
his legs crossed leaning on the iron
bar. He looked peaceful and extended
his arm to the keeper Riley walked
in and locking arms with Dohong, led
the orang-outang back to his cage.
Dohong has been in the park for
the last five years. He was quite
small when he arrived, but has
grown and developed wonderful
strength. He takes exercise regularly
on the horizontal bars in his cage. He
was the companion of Ota Benga, an
African pigmy, and since Ota's de-
parture from the park several weeks
ago has been out of sorts.

sass" which the same is abund-
ant and succulent. There has been
sufficient rain to permit the ABSORB

in garden truck and as a conse-
quence there is a modicum of the
woody fiber. Radishes, lettuce and
asparagus were first in evidence on
the table. Green peas, string beans,

then put in their pleasing presenta-
ton, followed by green corn which

Neighbors up the river complain
of the annoyance Of the shooting of
fire arms by boys. These boys go
up the railway track or along the
creek and shoot off guns and pistols
with such carelessness as to en-
danger the life of people and domes-
tic animals. Somebody is liable to
get hurt and damage result from
such carelessness.

The Improvement League has an
eye educated to distinguish the

be improved by the removal of
weeds, rubbish and tall grass, we
are inclined to accept the sugges-
ton as equivalent to expert testi-
mony.

WORST DRESSED YOUNG MEN.
Tailor's Opinion of American College
BOYS Apparel.

Boys Apparel.
The tailor, as he regarded the great
crowd of young men on the football
field, sighed.
1T is plain" he said that the col
lege boy is the worst dressed young
man in America"
why so?" asked the tailor's pretty
daughter.
Because the college boy goes in for
such exaggerations," was the answer.
Because instead of following a new
fashion with wise docility he enlarges
on it-develops it-until from come
ly and attractive thing it becomes the
ludicrous caricature that we see on
the minstrel stage.
Look at these boys around you.
Their shoes, for instance. The absurd
thickness and extension Of the soles;
and there is one lad with straps and
buckles instead of shoe laces. Bah!
Look at their coats, their trousers,
their Overcoats, their waistcoats.
These are not correct; they are not
fashionable. They are caricatures OF
the fashions-ludicrou caricatures.
And that is the college boys trou-
BILE. He is not content to wear SIM
ply the correct thing. The correct
thing is not obtrusive enough for him,
and he is afraid that if he wore it he
would attract no attention. So he eX-
aggerates the correct thing, and if
broad shoulders are fashionable his
will hardly let him through a door
way, and if long overcoats are fash,
ionable his trails the ground
Yes, because he overdoes it the col
lege boy dresses the worst of all
young men"
Father, you are altogether wrong,

In our every day life we decide to
do thing and then use every means
within our power to further our pur-
pose. Let US apply the same rule
in our Christian work. The love of
God in the heart and life consecrat-
ed to his service is what counts with
God. Fine apparel and the out
ward appearance will avail US moth
ing. Oftentimes obstacles in the
paths of Christians are traps placed
by the adversary and they are only
avoided by patient perseverance by
being instant in prayer and near
ness to God. Each victory over
temptation makes US stronger to re-
sist them and makes US better chill
dren of God. We find in the life of
Paul an example of the power of a
man when fully determined to do

that we can come to him in tempta-

Spider That Makes Fine cobwebs.

The queen of spiders-the largest,
handsomest and most capable work
man of her tribe-is the orange-yellow
and black creature known as orange
Argiope. Hers are the most beautiful
cobwebs made, hung low to catch the
innumerable insects required for a
rather large appetite, and you find
them among the bushes and vines and
in the fields. DR.. Henry G. McCook,
president of the American Entomolog-
ical society, describes her habits and
haunts. Argiope, as the author re-
lates, captures and ties up her victims
as ably as cowboy might do with a
lasso, and she excels the cowboy by
manufacturing her own rope as she
goes.

SCULPTURE OF THE INDIAN.
Only Three Specimens of Los Rock
Carving Have Been Found.

Only Three Specimens of Los Rock
Carving Have Been Found.
One of the three known examples In
the United States of the famous In
dian sculpture" on two of the i'm
mense rocks which form the great
falls" of the Connecticut river at Bel
lows Falls has been entirely obliter-
ated not trace of the marking which
recorded some important event in the
history of the aborigines being left.
The sculpture was favorite subject
of discussion for antiquarians and de-
veloped much controversy as to the
manner and time in which it was
made. When first discovered it con-
sisted of a group of sixteen or eigh-
teen variously ornamented heads
plainly cut into the rocks. The main
piece of work was shown on fat
space about fifteen feet wide and SIX
feet high, and consisted OF four heads
each surmounted with pair OF rays
and numerous heads without any dec
Grafton. On the other rock was one
large head with at least eight rays.
this head being fourteen 1nches across
at the forehead.
There may have been originally also
an inscription, but if so it had become
obliterated by the action of the water
years ago. The markings were sup
posed to have represented victory
at or near Bellows Falls by four bands
and their chiefs, under one principal
chief. The fact that the action OF the
water has removed what was discover
ed on the rocks a hundred years ago
indicates to not few that much more
of the record must have disappeared
previously.
