81 am quite familiar with the CON

irrigation in that region would bring
very good results, providing the cost
was not too much. In that locality the
depth to water is quite considerable,
and the cost of operating pump would
therefore be heavy. The farmers there
use windmills quite exclusively, using
gasoline engines only when the wind
fails. However, the water is quite
abundant when it is reached. I do not
believe that it would be profitable for
you to irrigate as many as ten acres

From New Britain comes one grand vail that the hard times has nipped in the bud the increase over there, and the next directory, which is about ready to be circulated. will show a big fall ing of. In this connection it is amusing to note what the state board of health says about it. That body gives New Britain a gain of 922 dur ing the year. Pretty poor guess.

Republican papers that are repeat ing day after day that the Brooklyn Eagle-whieh never sa supported Bryan-is not supporting him now seems to overlook the news item that the New York World-which always opposed Bryan--has come out for the Nebraskan. Why can't the re- publican papers be fair in their news columns if not in their editorials?- New Haven Union.
 Some of the democratic papers might also take the Unions tip. For instance, on the first page of the Times of Hartford Tuesday evening was an article telling about a confer ence of democrats, and also what the national committeeman from Rhode Island as we'll as the chairman of the state central committee had to say about Bryan's chances of carry ing Rhode Island. Naturally a dem ocratic paper would refer to it in the heading, but not so with the Times, for not word about Bryan's chances of carrying Little Rhody" could be found in a scare head that took up at least three inches of space.

THE WEST POINT RIOT.

 Jefferson Davis.

It Happened During the Cadetship ot
 Jefferson Davis.
 Closely connected with Benny Ha. vens' was the great cadet riot Of Christ. mas, 1926, in the middle of Jefferson Davis third year. Before Christmas 1t was rumored through the barracks that Davis and other southern and southwestern cadets were going to ex- plain to the other members of the corps the mysteries of eegnog. Cadets Davis, Tllghman and Temple were to get the necessaries from Benny's, but 1t seems that something prevented, and others had to get the materials. The authorities were suspicious and or. dered the inspectors to stay up all night to keep order. This angered the cadets, and the preparations for the eggnog went oh. Tn the dark of the morning of Dec. 25 the invitations were sent out. Robert B. Lee and Jo- seph E. Johnston declined. J. B. Ma gruder, Drayton. c. J. Wright and oth- CTS accepted. Davis was extending the invitations when he heard rumor that Captain Hitchcock was abroad. He ran back to No. 5 north barracks, where the refreshments were collected, called out, Put away that grog, boys; old Hitch is coming," and looked up to find that Hitchcock was already in the room. Davis was sent to his quarters under arrest, fortunately for him, for after some hilarious noise he went to sleep and did not get into the riot which then began. The instructors and officers were chased out of the halls into their own rooms and there besieged. The cadets obtained arms and organized the Helyetian league to protect themselves against the bom- bardiers, who. they heard. were or dered out to subdue them. Davis room- mate, Walter B. Guion of Mississippi was the leader of the Helvetians. He secured pistol and tried to shoot Captain Hitchcock. Some of the off, cers were badly bruised with stove wood that the cadets threw at them. After an hour or two the riot wore out. Later nineteen cadets, among them Guion. were court martialed and dismissed. Davis, with others. was kept long under arrest and given de- merits.-Professor W. L. Fleming in Metropolitan Magazine.

Among the favorable features of the week were a slightly better de- mand for iron products, some im- provement in railroad traffic, a more hopeful feeling in business circles, the prompt absorption of the Atchi- son bonds, the strength of the Harri> man stocks and a further rise in the Bank of England reserve, says Banker Clews All the European banks it will be noted are accumu- lating gold, and comb bined they are carrying the largest stocks of the precious metal on record. Our crop situation continues satisfactory Corn is making good progress, and if early frost is escaped full crop at profitable prices is almost a cer- tainty. Wheat is also threshing out better than expected and now justi- fies the earlier expectations of a full yield. Oats arc somewhat of a dis appointment, and cotton has been in- iured to the extent of 4 to points during the past month. In the agri- cultural, industrial, mercantile, fl, nancial and political fields all the tendencies are of hopeful char acter. Stocks, however, are now very high, and offer tempting pro- fits to holders of long standing. A further advance may be in prospect; but those with big gains are likely to step out before long and leave what profits remain to the late buy CTS. Investors may therefore await more favorable opportunities while speculative buyers will have to ex. ercise much discretion.
