SCHOOL SECTIONS
Land Commissioner Endeavcrs to Ad- just Claims by the Imperial
 Survey.

Commissioner Bennett, of the Gen eral Land Office has written to Gen. Prescott, register of the local office, explaining his attitude in regard to the location of school lands in the re- surveyed townships in the Imperial Valley
 The commissioner says in part: "The question of properly locating sections 16 and 36 in townships involved, in justice to all parties in interest, the rights of the seller and entrymen un- der the circumstances herein presented being co-equal with the State aRd it's grantees, must be settlGd with regard to the equities of-tne case.
 Tn the absence of any original cor ners cf the school sections 16 and 36. iJk- township 16 south, 13, 14 and 15 east, and section 16, township r south. l5 east. or any corners what ever in said townships, except the one quarter section corner between sec tions B and 34, Is south. 19 east, it must be deemed that said sections have not been heretofore located or surveyed except by what is known as the Imperial Survey
 Tn the lines of this survey all set clement and improvements have been made. The location of claims and en- tries around school sections in those townships as established by Imperial survey win, under the present circum- stances, be considered as the true ba- sis for the location of said school sec tions In pursuance of this view, the said sections will be planted and To- cated in conformity with claim lines Of adjacent sections, as shown by the resurvey. They will be segregated and reserved upon the plats of said town ships prepared by this office.
 They will be officially surveyed at some future time and the reestablish- ulent of the original school sections, the area of which is greatly in excess Of the area granted to the State, whether title is in the State or indi- yidual as surveyed in conflict with pri- vate claims and public lands, will, on account of the unwarranted and un- lawful location. be rejected and ex- cepted from approval"

lone Touch of Nature Makes the
 Whole World Kin"

When a rooster finds big, fat worm he calls all the hens in the farm yard to come and share it. A similar trait of human nature is to be observed when a man discovers something exceptionally good-he wants all his friends and neighbors to share the benefits of his discovery. This is the touch of nature that makes the whole world kin. This explains why people who have been cured by Chamberlain Cough Remedy write letters to the manufacturers for pub lication, that others similarly ailing may also use it and obtain relief. Be- hind every one of these letters is a warm hearted wish of the writer to be of use to someone else. This rem edy is for sale by Dunaway & Lowe, Druggists.

A TEMPERANCE HOTEL.
By Ernest A. Smith, Waterbury.

"In the nation as in the individual, in the long run, it is character that counts. Let us therefore as people set our faces resolutely against evil and with broad charity, with kindness and good will toward all men, but with unfinching determination to smite down wrong, strike with all the strength that is given us for righteous ness in public and in private life. " i Theodore Roosevelt.
 The above words are exempllfed by one of Waterbury's most useful citi- zens. When farmer near Thomaston, Ct., this gentleman cleaned up the brush pasture. To day in Waterbury he is doing the same thing and may clean up other pastures before he is through.
 One lifelong ambition of Cornelius H. Cables has been to prove that a hotel without bar can be a financial success in license town. 'No trouble at all," declared Mir Cables, eff you give a man his moneys worth"
 Accordingly the best beds to be had were bought; also the best mattresses, of hair or of silk floss. This silk floss is Philippine fibre something like milkweed. It never packs or hardens heat puffs it up.
 A young man slept in the Kingsbury one right. On the return trip he ordi- narily would have stayed in Hartford, but returned to Waterbury and asked for the same room at the Kingsbury. "Why do you want the same room?"
The Newtown bee., 1909-01-22

he was asked. "That bedp he an- swered. "why, I've been thinking all day of that bedW
 MT Cables has talked all his life to his two boys against tobacco, calling it.ao unmanly, fifty, expensive habit. Now that he has a hotel, if he allowed cigars to be sold his boys would say, 70, pa is like all the rest; he'll sell out for ten dollars" No tobacco is sold in the Kingsbury./
 A Christian travelling man heard at a Boston convention of his new bar less hotel in Waterbury and came to see it. He was delighted and offered five dollars toward buying Bible for each room. "keep your money" said MT Cables, "but give me your hand That's the first time l ever heard a travelling man say anything like that. We'll have them when we get into running order"
 The restaurant has just been opened. There you pay anything you want. The man in a hurry who has time but for dish sof oatmeal and cup of coffee will.not pay.as much ..as the man who eats full breakfast. Mir Cables as- sures us there will be no poor milk; no stale eggs; only the best butter. The idea is to give good thing and charge what it's worth at a fair profit.
 A few rooms rent for Sl.50 a night most cost..but s1.OO:or $4.OO a week to regular roomers. Everything is ar ranged with view to being home-like and free from stiffness. The mirror IS round; the ordinary straight back chair is replaced with comfortable wicker furniture of differing shape and size. The bath is tiled. The wash basin has hot and cold water. The telephone enables the guest to talk with,,the office or with other rooms in the hoeel.
 Will the Kinsbury succeed, without liquor, tobacco, or tips? There are l6l rooms to rent. Though the sound of the hammer still at times resounds through the building, one night re- gently 143 rooms were occupied; on another 136. The Elton and other ho- tels are sending their surplus to the Kingsbury. Men who formerly stayed in New Haven, Hartford, Meriden and will now go to Waterbury because of better accommodations and prices. There is room in Hartford for such hotel in any city in fact.
 When in Waterbury stop in and ask MT Cables or Manager James F. Will Hams, formerly principal of the Bris- tol High school, to show you around.
 The lobby, the beautiful columns, the the ferns, the palm garden to be, the .eading-room, the writing room, will .epay visit and may surprise you.
 Success to Connecticut's model Pro- 1ibition hotel!

why THE CLIMAX"
IS A SUCCESS
Purity and Newness Caused Edw,rd
Loeke's Play to Create Positive
Sensation,

When the Bard of Avon declared
The play is the thing" that worthy
gentleman knew whereof he spoke.
Stars of the brightest ray have gone
down to failure simply because the
vehicle secured for them was weak.
Plays with casts entirely unknown to
lame have been huge successes solely
on account of the merits of the piece.
one OF the most important examples
OF this fact is shown in the case of
The Climax" a play which has Gre
ated a positive sensation on account
OF its purity and newness. 1.-THE Gil
max" is from the pen of an author.
Edward Locke, heretofore unknown
and was presented by company Of
players only one of whom had ever
been heard of on "The Great White
Way These facts, bearing out the
statement of the immortal Shakes
peare, did not hinder the success of
the play. On the opening night, the
first performance was very lightly at
tended To-day all theater-goers are
from Missouri and have to be shown.
The attendance started to grow after
the first performance, however, and
kept on swelling at rapid rate until
nightly the capacity of the theater at
which the play is appearing is tested.
THE Climax" is now in it's seventh
month at Weber's Theater in New
York and seats are still on sale for
weeks in advance and there are five
companies on tour, all as good as the
New York company, each doing the
same phenomenal business as the one
appearing in the metropolis. This
alone is a pretty good argument that
''the play is the thing" Other cases
of the same sort are cited in the case
of paid in Full" "The Man of the
Hour" and dozen others which have
romped on to success without a single
player of note. It is a fact neverthe-
less that the play will make the actor.
Unknown players have secured parts
well suited to their talents and have
become stars in a night.

YOUNG LADIES
enter CONTEST
Working for Season Ticket to Audi
forum BY Selling Tickets to
old Fiddlers' Contest.

In response to the offer of Manager
Bixler, of the Auditorium, of a season
ticket to the young lady who sells the
most tickets to the Old Fiddlers' Con
test, which is to be given under the
auspices of the Kings Daughters at
the Auditorium Thursday night. Misses
Matte Cotton and Naomi Turner have
entered the lists and are now striving
for the prize.
A season ticket to the Auditorium
is worth working for, as many of the
best attractions of the season are yet
to appear, and besides, the young Ia
dies who enter this contest are aiding
a worthy cause, as every ticket sold
means more money for the Kings
Daughters, which will enable them to
carry on the good work in which
they are engaged.
1t will not be found a difficult mat
ter to dispose of these tickets, and
the young lady who takes advantage
of this opportunity and puts in a few
hours of work during the next three
days will have cause to congratulate
herself upon securing a ticket which
entities her to see, free of charge, all
the attractions which will appear al
the Auditorium this season.

Special to The News.
jackson, Nov. 24.-Except in few
and isolated communities. the pick

been brought to q close, and the next
ginner's report issued from Washing
ton ought to show practically the to-
tai crop grown during the past sea-
son. l
On the face of figures hitherto is
sued, coupled with conservative esti-
mates from persons familiar with
general crop conditions. it is certain
that Mississippi's crop will not eA.
coed 100000 bales, against a total
ot ts75tooo commercial bales for the
preceding year.
This means reduction of more
than a half million bales resulting
from adverse weather conditions, boil
weevil and other elements that were
met with durin gthe planting, growing
and harvesting periods.
In figuring the total value of the
crop, as compared with that of last
year, the increased price of course
made amends for the reduction of
yield. Unfortunately, however, many
communities did not share in this
enhancement of value, having raised
almost no cotton at all, and therefoe,
giving very gloomy outlook for far
mers as they approach the next plant.
ing season In word, the crop was
spotted. The yield in the Delta coun-
ties. especially the southern part of
that rich and fertile region, will be
almost normal. The upper Delta
counties were hard hit by adverse
weather. In some of the southeast
ern counties, where the weevil was at
work, almost no crop at all was raised.
the yield being from 20 to so per
cent of last years yield. Bad wealth
er also played havoc with cotton in
many of the northern counties. The
centrai ana eastern counties win
show yields amounting to from 50 to
so per cent Of last years crop.
