Present Play successfully.

''The Merchant of Venice (up-to-
date) six act farce which has been
undergoing rehearsals for the past few
weeks at the hands Of company COM
posed of boys and girls from the High
School, was presented last Saturday
evening in the Opera House to good
size audience. esas
For the short time which the men,
bers had to prepare the play, it was
given in very clever manner and re-
hected considerable credit upon all who
were interested.
The desire to repeat the performance
prompted the company to make its sec
ond appearance, therefore it was de-
cided to present the play in Pequaming.
The entire cast appeared in that place
Wednesday evening to q splendid
crowd.

Rain spoils Observance.

The heavy down-pour of rain Satur-
day last, put damper on the elaborate
plans which had been made for gen.
exal observance of Decoration Day.
Despite this fact, however, the L'Anse
Cadets took chances between showers
and marched to the cemetery and made
an informal recognition Of the day so
far as was possible,
Flags were fioated from various masts
about town but owing to the inclemency
of the weather most everyone remained
within doors.

Organize to Determine Action.

Bearish influences in the different
departments Of the speculative, buy
ing and consuming cotton world are,
as usual, getting busy to hammer
IsdoWn the price of cotton for both near
and fall months delivery. There are
two arguments now being used 10 de-
press the price of cotton; the first,
that the consumption of manufactured
goods is not satisfactory, owing TO
continued trade depression in this
country; second, that the prospects
for a large yield of cotton this year
is good in practically all sections of
the cotton belt, except Oklahoma Up
Oh these two propositions the fall
months are being hammered and Oc-
tober deliveries are now around $50,
while December futures are quoted at
about cents by the New York Cotton
Exchange. All cotton sold by export
ers for delivery in these months are
based on New York quotations, plus
whatever premium the contract be-
tween the exporter and the spinner
is agreed on. If several million bales
are sold on the basis of these figures
every effort will be made to hold down
prices until these contracts are liqui-
dated. If the growers begin to rush
their cotton TO market as usual in
September and October it will be inn
possible to stem the disastrous tide
of these Oppressive influences. If
the farmers are not we'll organized
and secure the cooperative strength
of the banking and business interests
of the South they will have a hard
struggle ahead to maintain fair prices.
Lint cotton is worth more than it's
fair market price today, and it will
be worth much more in October than
the present future quotations for that
month Indicate There must be some
thing done aside from the mere work
of organization. That is, OF course,
the first step, provided organization
is based on sound business princi-
piles. The business end of marketing
cotton is the most vital and impor-
tant part of the cotton industry to
farmers. If the crop is not sold at
profit there is but little satisfaction in
the industry.-The Cotton Journal.

TOPICS OF THE SEASON.

Farm Journal:
BY taking a little time some wet
day, to study the mechanism of tho
mower and binder and other farm ma
chinery, you may save yourself the
delay of sending to a shop or to the
factory for repairs or adjustments you
might make yourself.
Plant plenty of pumpkin seeds this
year Not the great big overgrown
kind but common. everyday field
pumpkins. They are fine for man and
beast. A few pie pumpkins will come
in handy; best for pie timber of any
thing in the world.
Do not become discouraged because
the tree Slsect pests are numerous
and persistent, but keep on planting
trees. Science will eventually come to
our relief. Suppose we had all stopped
planting potatoes when the Colorado
beetle came to stay?
If there is anything that makes life
on the farm seem hard and full OF
aches and pains, it is trying TO get
along with dull tools. Grind them, fei-
low farmers. 1t takes but few min
utes to sharpen the scythe, axe or
other tool that you are to work with.
When the mows are emptied, sweep
them thoroughly and let in all the air
and sunlight possible. We have seen
barns with ten-year-old Justified cob
webs hanging from ridge-pole and
cross-beam.
If weeds begin to show themselves
in the corn-feld before the hills show.
a weeder will help to subdue them and
bring the corn up faster, too.
1t costs twenty-five cents to raise a
bushel of potatoes, and they seldom
sell for less than fifty cents. Doubling
ones money is considered pretty prof
table business.

MANHATTAN ISLAND.
NEW YORK, October 19.-The birth
rate in Manhattan is now greater than
in any of the boroughs of Greater New
York, according to the latest figures or
the Health Department. 1t amounts to
more than thirty per 1000 of the popu-
lation year, which, based on the
number of families for each 100 popu-
lation here, would mean that baby is
born once year in every other family
in the borough. There were 2150 births
last week-one every five minutes.
The death rate in Brooklyn is now
slightly lower than in Manhattan-siX-
teen out of each 1000 of population
The panic, in combination with the
license law, has caused a decrease OF
about one-third in the number of mar
riages in Greater New York. Suicides,
on the contrary, have greatly increas-
ed.
