The Big Mans Belt.

Billy James. probate court clerk,

nue. haberdashery the other day.
He had some difficulty in getting
one that suited him. and that was at

: the requirements of his girth.
"How much is this?" he asked at
last, when he saw one that seemed
to be about it,
The clerk told him it would cost
him 81.

Alexandra Delavier, a medical mas.

Whenever he drinks little more
than he ought he puts on a military
uniform and decorations he is not en-
titled to wear. He has been fined or
imprisoned thirteen times for this Of

fifteen days Imprisonment.

When Salmon Are Suicidal,

In the Sea of Okhotsk the salmon
are suicidal. and one of the most
startling examples Of the spendthrift
side OF nature may be found in the
rivers that run into this sea- When
six years old the salmon begin a voy-
age of death. Ascending the river Of
their infancy they race in countless
thousands up stream until lack Of
food and lack of elbow room kill
them off. A recent traveller declares
that, however many millions of SAL
mon may run up the river, not one
ever reaches the sea again alive.
What becomes of the rivers of dead
salmon? The seagulls wheel down
upon the scene and feast upon their
eyes, scorning anything less dainty.
Bears, wolves, foxes and sledge dogs
are made comfortable for the year.

Right of Selection.

The strongminded lady glared at

said the strongminded lady. But you
may rest assured of one thing. There
will be no shilly-shallying.
With this mysterious warning, the
stroig-minded lady turned and went
her way, leaving the little man in a
cold perspiration.-Cle Plain

Procrastination and Ideals,

A man is much less apt to fall in
love at twentyseven than at twenty.
two. and a woman is much less likely
to be fallen in love with at twenty
five than at twenty.
The damsel therefore, who makes
up her mind that the proper age for
her to marry is twenty-five, and the
proper age for her husband twenty
eight, and who acts up to this ideal
in her youthful days, runs a great risk
of achieving something quito different
from her IDEAL.

HARRIS SAYS HOLD.
URGES THE FARMERS NOT TO
SELL COTTON NOW.

Says Price IS Bound to go to Fifteen
Cents IL Farmers Will Sit Steady in
The Boat and Not Sell.
President b. Harris of the State
Farmers Union has issued the follow
ing address to the farmers Of the
State:
Why be alarmed? Cotton is scarcer
than 1t has been in S5 years and there
are more people to wear clothes now
than ever before.
We hear the cry on all sides that
the mills are going to curtail the out
put of their mills 25 per cent and
this Is true. They will have to do it
for there is not cotton enough to run
on full time.
Now, we will see If this is not a
fact. The 1907 crop is 4,5OO, 900 bales
short of what the world needs for con-
sumption, so curtailment is necessary
whether or not the manufacturer
wants to do so. If you haven't ten
ears of corn to feed your horse at a
feed you will have to curtail to eight
ears at feed. This is the condition
Of the mills today.
If it is a fact that cotton is scarcer
than 1t has been in S5years, it is also
a fact that goods will be scarce also.
We know the manufacturer has con-
tracts for his goods up to the 1st Of
July. Also there are no goods Of any
consequence in the warehouses in New
York but they have been sold UP close
1 know Of a few mills that have
stopped, but only for repairs and to
put in new machinery, which is es-
sential foS their future success. Now
know our manufacturers axe fine
business men and cannot blame them
for closing their mills If they cannot
make profit.
That is business proposition and
applies to the producer of the raw ma
terial, too. If you cannot get profit
for growing it. curtail your acreage S5
per cent and plant food crops. This
will remedy the evil.
Now to the holders of spot cotton.
First, want you to, remember there
Is shortage OF last years crop A.
100000 bales. This in itself means 25
per cent reduction In the output OF
manufactured goods. So hold your
cotton for the minimum price.
II holders OF spot cotton will not
sell any more for 80 or 60 days, there
will soon be many mills running on
short time.
Hold your cotton for the minimum
price. diversity crops Plant some
cotton land in peas. corn or forage
crops and success is yours.
No need fear alarm. Sit steady in
the boat and we will save this grand
country Of ours.
