Trade Ever Optimistic.

The trade is now taking an unduly
optimistic view of the new crop situa-
ton and outlook. In fact, much has
been said and written lately about the
promise now being held out for an
other great crop. This Is largely owing
to the belief that an acreage fully as
large as was planted two seasons ago
has been arranged for.
1t must be stated, however, that prob
ably not more than 20 per cent. OF the
crop has been planted SO far, as the
planting for ths whole area of over
80, 100000 acres will not be finished
until toward the end OF next month
Some paintings In Southern Texas Of
last month have come up, and have
shown fairly good stands. and likewise
along the southern portion Of Alabama
and Georgia. Little planting. however.
has been done above the central portion
OF the belt In any of the large produc-
ing cotton States outside of Florida.
a week or two of good weather now
would not necessarily mean an un
usually early or good start for the crop.
The conditions of the weather would
have to continue almost perfect up to
the middle of June. A dry, cold May
would be Injurious, as the seed would
rot germinate properly without season
able temperatures and the normal
amount OF rainfall. On the other hand,
II cold and excessively wet May would
be equally as bad. 1t will be remem-
bered farmers rushed the planting of
their crop last year SO much during
March and April that 1t was nearly
completed by the first week In May.

cessively wet weather caused not only
second and third paintings, but many

Throughout the month OF May and early

RUN DOWN PEOPLE or NEW HA-
 VEN, CONN, NEED VINOL.
The Modern Strength Creator and
 Body-BuiIder.

Many people right here in this vicinity are all run down and hardly able to drag about--don't know what ails them.
 In ninety-nine cases out of hun dred this is caused by overWork, too close confinement or continued strain and worry.
 Wm. II Hull, of Hull's Corner Drug Co.,, says Such people need Vlnol, our cod liver preparation without oil, which contains in highly concen- trated form all of the medicinal and strength-creating elements of cod liver oil actually taken from fresh cods' livers. but from which the useless oil has been eliminated and tonic iron added"
 Vinol cures conditions like this be- cause in a natural manner it increases the appetite, tones up the digestive organs, makes rich, red blood and strengthens every organ in the body
 We ask every man, woman and child in this vicinity who is run down tired and debilitated to try Vinol on our offer to return money if it fails Uulls Corner Drug Stores, Cor. State and Chapel Sts,, Cor. Howard and Congress Ayes, New Haven, Conn.

Stabbed by pitchforlS,

Michaa Bridget, of North Orchard street was stabbed In the arm with a pitchfork by Walter Strong in a quar- rel near the latters home on the South Colony boulevard this afternoon
 Strong and Bridget were out walking in company with two other men, when, for no other apparent reason than a few angry remarks, Strong struck Bridget with the pltchfork. Bridget made complaint to Prosecuting Attor- ney Fowler tonight and warrant was made out for strong's arrest. His case will come up in the borough cour, tomorrow morning at o'clock. Brid- gett claimed that the pitchfork went through his arm, but no hole could be found on examination. His dignity was injured perhaps moro than his arm.

Pending supreme Court vacancies.

(The Wall Street Journal.)
 The President of the United States may be an uncrowed king, but there is power even greater than his, and that is tho power of tho Supreme court of the United States, Within the term of the next presidency there will in all probability be four vacancies in tho Supreme court which will be filled by appointment of the President, and thess appointments will in large measure de- termine the future bias of the highest judicial body in the country. There are nine members of the Supreme court and their average age is sixty-six, four of them being 70 years and oyer. The youngest member, Judge Moody, who was appointed in l9)6, Is flfty-fve. Three of these members have been ap- pointed by Roosevelt during the last six years, but owing 10 the great ago of several of the members of the court is seems likely that within the next presidential term the rather unusual number of four vacancies will occur. Therefore the next presidential elec- tion will determine not only who shall i'll the highest executive office in the land but will also determine the po- lltical and economic bent of the Sue preme court.

The Hrmp Plant Along the Gulf Coast.

 The valuable nature of the work now being carried on in Texas by the United States Agricultural Department Is again shown by the discovery that the "abaco' or hemp plant can De success fully grown in the Southwest Gulf coast country Experiments have been carried on the last year and the horti- culturalists are convinced that this val uable addition can be made to the list of Texas crops. It has long been tho theory that the hemp plant would not grow successfully In any section of the world except the Philippine Islands. Efforts have been made to transplant 1t to Africa India and South America, but with little success. Heretofore Manila has had monopoly of the hemp trade and the finest ropes and cordage come from that city The hemp plant is a variety of banana and has exactly the same appearance as the nroadleafeG plants found growing in many San An tonio yards. It was quite by accident that the discovery was made that the hemp plant could be successfully grown in Texas.
