Three months ago Miss Clark left

COIN In SLOT

Baltimore Inventor Feels he

BALTIMORE, Nd, April s.-There
IS to be no more "rough-house" busi-
mess in saloons, and there viii be no
further need for the services of the
professional bouncer, that time-honor-
ed institution, who has heretofore been
considered next TO indispensable i'm the
saloons, If a Baltimore invention comes
into vogue.
The quietNs is to be given TO the
barroom fight and TO its useful adjunct,
the bouncer, and the bartenders knell
is sounded, through the efforts and in
ventive genius of Jacob Zill, who con-
ducts saloon at sol oxford street. He
has been conducting saloons for %
years according to his own testimony,
and for Is of those long and profitable
years much Of his attention has been
given to the problem OF avoiding fights
with folks who refuse 10 pay for what
they have drunk.
Today tho problem has been solved,
drawings have been made and pa
tent has been applied for And not
only that. but a working model has ac-
tually been constructed and is in oper-
alton in Mr.. zill's oxford street en-
porium.
Machine Sells Drink.
The result Of the saloon-kceper's Is

drinks and collects pay for them be-
fore it delivers the goods. The thing
is on the order of the usual coin-in-
the-slot affairs that have come into
general use for selling everything from
a piece Of chewing gum to a shoe shine.
To get results the thirsty one has
but to deposit a coin in the slot Of
Zilrs machine. IL does not make a
particle of difference what the coin is,
for the results are always commensu-
rate with the face value of the coin.
When the coin is pushed into the slot
and ieyer pulled down there is buzz

OF thirst qucncher that pours into the
glass Is proportionately greater.
Il have been is years revolving this

OVERLOOKED BY THE READER
Socks by Donald G. Mitchell Seem Un' appreciated by the Present
 Generation.

Probably majority of those who knew of Donald G. Mitchell as the author of two or three volumes of charming essays had supposed him dead long ago, and were surprised at the announcement of his death. For many years he has lived re- tired life at his home in New Ha- ven, and if he has occupied his time in writing it has been by way of paa- time and not for publication. l
 books that won him popularity, how, ever, 'Reveries of a Bachelor" and "Dream Life,' could only have been written by one still young and to whom life yet offered much-one with imagination and hope and ex- pectation. It was 60 years ago or thereabouts that he wrote these two books. Does any one in this genera ton read them? One seldom hears them spoken of. If not read, then why? Their poetic grace and charm are not of an etferyescent sort, but have lasting quality Many a much-lauded book of these days falls far short of them in merit.

 3 FARMING IN 5 THE SOUTH
COTTON WILT-A DISEASE THAT
 IS ON THE INCREASE.
Efforts of the Government to Develop Wilt Resistant PIant-By w. A.
 Orton, Pathologist.

| It is very difficult to estimate the | total loss from cotton wilt The in jury varies from the death of a few plants to the destruction of hundreds of acres. Several factors are to be considered in estimating the loss. We must add to the actual shortage of the crop in the spots where the cot ton dies: CD A diminished yield of the surrounding cotton due to the dwarfing of the plants from partial infections; :; CD a lessened income to the farmers on account of the necessity of plant ing on infected land some less profit able crops as corn, or of throwing cotton out of cultivation altogether; (3) the increased cost of cultivation of wilt-infected spots due to the foot hold obtained by crab-grass, nut-grass, cockleburs, and other weeds, after the death of the cotton; (4) a deprecia- tion in the market value of wilt-in- fected land.
 Wilt first appears in the latter part of May or in June, when the young cotton is 8 to 12 inches high. It is most prevalent during June and July, but some cases continue to develop until the end of the season.
 The appearance of cotton plant attacked by wilt varies somewhat, de pending on the age of the plant and the severity of the attack. Some plants wilt suddenly and die almost in a day; others pass through intermediate stages, with leaves slowly turning yellow, especially around the margins and between the veins. and fall off Often a branch near the ground makes considerable growth and partially re covers, producing dwarf, bushy plant.
 The most characteristic symptom of wilt is a browning of the woody DOT tion of the stem and root. These dis colored parts are the watercarrying vessels which have become obstruct- ed by the development in them of the fungus causing the disease.
 The wilt fungus is itself low form
