Dockstader's Ministries, Jan. 7.

Lew Dockstader. with his cohorts Of
mirth and melody makers, will enter
tain propositions of humorous char
acter at the Opera house next Tuesday
evening, Jan. eth. Perhaps it is the
careless irresponsibility, cheerful lev
ity of the minstrel show which keeps
it, like the circus, forever painting and
forever young. which makes fond faith
ers just as solicitous as in the case OF
the circus that this part of the educa-
ton of the youngest be not neglected
1t is safe to say that a large share of
the audiences which shake their sides
at Lew Dockstader's charcoal portrait
Of President Roosevelt. in "A Dull Day
at the White House" will be accom-
panied by younger members of the
family, VIII, see the joke, but wonders
why father laughs so much harder.
bigger and better than ever is the
ancient war cry of returning minstrel
troupes. but Dockstader lives up to the
motto.

Our big cities are getting to be less and
less purely American, New York espe-
cailly. The foreign element Is pouring in
by thousands. 1t doesn't seem to care
for the American pie, no matter what
flavor you make it. Italian, Greek, Jew,
German, Roumanian, Russian-none of
them finds any attraction in the crusty
delicacy we old-time Americans always
have thought SO toothsome.
when I go out to dinner with my
friends don't seem to get pie for des-
sert nearly as much as I did. This may
be fancy, but that is the way It strikes
me. And even the best restaurants don't
appear to have the pie assortment OF
years ago. They run in French kick
shaws and ices mainly. OF course. you
can get fine pie in those places when you
order it, but there isn't the chance there
used to be.
perhaps it's because, generally speak
ing, we don't make pie-the ordinary mid
die class pleas well as we did. Maybe
it's altogether too much of a commercial
product instead of labor of love. Blu

COTTON CROP IS IN
 FINE CONDITION Plant Is Large and Generally
 Well Fruited IS WELL CULTIVATED
Weather Is Generally Hot and Dry During Past Week-open BoIIs Are Reported from South
 ern Cotton Belt.

Memphis, Tenn. July 19-The Commer- cial Appeal tomorrow will say, as to the condition of crops in the cotton grow ing states of the south:
 The greater part of the cotton crop has gone another weeks journey toward maturity without setback. The plant is large ana well fruited and has a vitality that promises something for the future. Ii has been well cultivated and is now be- ing rapidly laid by clean of grass and weeds
 The weather was generally hot and dry during the week. The plant grew very fast and the soil having been abundantly supplied with moisture by rains of the preceding weeks, sustained the plant well. Many correspondents, however, express a fear for the future if rains do not come soon. They say the plant is still suc- culent, having had an abundant supply of moisture all season.
 In the southern parts of the central belt open bolls appeared and planters ex- pect to begin picking at an early date. Along the coast of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia heavy rains fell and cotton on the sandy lands is turn ing yellow. Boil weevils have increased and are doing much damage in southern Texas Picking, which had been begun, will be delayed. Southern Arkansas and Northern Louisiana are in need of rain.
