In cities, going to and fro each day. The
motor, too. has taken it's place In the
commercial sphere, and now there are
craft OF every type equipped with them.

women no longer row around the harbors.
The bumboatman uses a motor boat, while
the port missions who look after the spir-
itual as well as the physical welfare Of
poor Jack have Joined in the march Of
progress. Even the small ferryman no
longer rows across the busy stream.
Until about three years ago. however,
the motor boat was looked upon as a craft
only suitable for inland waters. and the
yachtsman who suggested taking one OF
them out on the ocean was considered to
be little short of foolhardy. Those who
thought they knew II all declared that
the motor, even though II had reached
high stage Of efficiency, was not thoroughly
reliable. and predicted all sorts Of disas-
ter
Not so among the motor boatmen who
knew. They were skilled in the manage
ment OF their engines, and one by one
they Yentured out upon the bosom Of the
sea and skipped along the coast from port
to port. arouslng the greatest interest
wherever they put in
Despite the harpings OF critics. most
of whom knew little or nothing Of their
subjects. the possibilities Of the coast
wise motor boat were recognized. and
then followed the development OF boat
of this type, the further development Of
which is now in progress and with which
excellent results are being obtained.
The first genuine cruisers were what
was known as the hunting cabin" type,
and they resembled catboat without
mast. Nand the overland aft was carried
out lust as in the sailing model. The
beginning of the long distance races, with
the tax on overall length, caused the

when he needs 1t most. Therefore a
power that could easily be slowed away
on his yacht out Of sight and capable TO
bringing him into harbor in q calm was
just what he wanted.
This great desire led to the adopting of
engines as auxlliaries on sailing yachts,
for the yachtsman. knowing the frailties
of the motor, was 10th to depart from
sail power and depend upon that of which
he was even less sure. In a comparative
ly short time, however, the gasoline mo-
tor began to speak for itself. and then
came the era Of the launch. The first Of
these craft were either small open boats
built without any particular lines for
speed, or else they were hulls designed
originally for naphtha engines. Many own
ers Of naphtha engines took them out
and put the gasoline motor in. and since
the change could be readily made II was
not necessary to make many alterations
to the boat.
The gasoline motor soon attracted the
attention of the rocking chair feet
those club members who do not own craft,
and these gentlemen saw an inexpensive
and at the same time pleasant means Of
enjoying the water. They took up the
sport and helped it reach the present pro-
portions, for in all the world there Is
scarcely a body of water that has not
upon it one or more motor boats.
AS with the sailing yacht came the
races and with the races closer attention
was given to the designing Of bulls. while
the manufacturers devoted their energies
TO building the smallest possible motors
with the greatest possible power, until
now not only have hull lines been brought
to the finest possible point. but the motors
that go into a six foot engine-room develop
300 horsepower and drive the craft at
express train speed

The men who are constituting this

pleasure It brings TO be out In the open,

Until about three years ago those who
went TO sea depended upon wind. Then
the gasoline motor was adopted as an
auxiliary. Now. however. the gasoline mo-
tor has come In to general use and the
past two years has seen q complete rev.
Olution In the propulsion OF yachts and
deep-water motor boatraces have been
held, thus demonstrating that II a small.
sailing craft can so to sea, so can a
small boat with power do likewise.
The development of the gasoline engine
has been little short Of marvellous. and
II has made such vast strides during the
past few years that today there is not

Nature has provided the stomach
with certain natural fluids known as
the digestive juices, and it is through
these juices that the food We eat is
acted upon in such a way as to pro-
duce the rich, red blood that flows
through the veins of our body and
thereby makes US strong, healthy and
robust, and it is the Weakening of
these digestive juices that destroys
health. 1t is our own fault if we de-
stroy our own health and yet it is so
easy for any one TO put the stomach
out of order. When you need to take
something take il promptly, but take
something You know Is reliable

First Bale OF Cotton.

The first bale Of the 1908 cotton
crop was sold from the steps Of the
New York Cotton Exchange last
week for S175. Spot cotton was
then selling at S58.75 per bale. The
question was asked whether this
meant that the cotton marketing
season had opened About three
weeks ago the Agricultural Depart
ment issued its seasons first esti-
mate on cotton, and p number of
the uniuitiated were at a loss TO UNI
derstand how it was possible for the
plant to have matured 50 soon.
The cotton was, however, I'M
doubtedly of this years growth.
The first bale always comes about
this time each year, from about the
same section Of Texas section, by
the way, which produces very
small part of the crop. 1t is in a
tropical part of the State, about on
a line with Cuba, where practically
no winter occurs and a very early
spring and summer enable the plant
Ell to put the first bale Oh the mark
ct so early. In 1904 two bales Of
cotton reached Galveston from Cam
eron county on June 16, a record
unequaled in a quarter century
The earliness or lateness of this
first bale" seldom indicates any
thing definite for the crop itself
In what would be called the cotton
belt of Texas, in the counties that
produce the bulk of the crop, the
plant does not even begin to bloom
until late in June or early in July,
and picking does not begin until
month later.-Jackson Clarion-Led-

The aggregate of the amount dis
