A Tribute To The Prospector

Saunders was delivered at the meeting
of the Mining Congress in Tonopah. 1t
is au eloquent tribute to the prospector;
'Mr. Chairman;--It is not posi-
bile to do justice to IL subject cover
ing so vast a territory as THE Pros

Mr.. Ernest Schultz. in a German
paper, the Prussisch Johrbucher, gives
his idea of why the United States has
failed commercially in the Pacific. He
tells how J.. j. Hill from -boyhoOd
dreamed of sometime an economic OPEN
ing of the Orient to trade; how the late
Mr.. Hartman shared his views; how at
first the Hill ships went loaded with
flour for China, but have since lost the
trade, and ascribes it all to Japanese
competition which is crowding the ships
Of all nations from the Pacific.
The article is Il very able one except
that it lacks the chief essential The
writer gives many reasons why the
: Americans have failed and the Japanese
have won and are winning more and
: more every month and year, only one of
which has any foundation in fact.
Japan is Substituting her ships, and this
is q mighty factor in the result, but
that is not the real reason. IF the
learned German will look over the rate
of exchanges in the Orient, he will see
the main cause of all the trouble Japan
is paying her sailors just the weight of
silver that she paid in the long ago;
she is paying her coal miners and ship
builders in the same way; the coal and
labor paid for by American ships, is, in
Oriental money, twice as much as was
the cost twenty years ago. and so is
every article that the United States
seeks to export to the Orient, and hence
the commercial failure" If the
United States continues, to ignore silver
as money and refuses to begin to restore
the merchant marine, her trade with
half the world will cease in Japan,
China. the Straights Settlement. India,
Turkey and Egypt and be desperately
crippled in South America.
f[er present policy towards silver
and towards taking any steps to restore
our shipping to the seq will, if con-
tinued, eventuate in driving from us the
trade of half the world There is no
possible escape. With japan elimin-
ated, still our trade with China would
he as good as dead, she buys nothing
now except what she must have and
cennot quite yet produce from her own
factories. Our nation is really COM
uniting commercial suicide with half
the world.-Goodwins Weekly.

COTTON CROP REPORT
BoLLS BEGINNING TO OPEN
PLANT SHEDDING BADLY.
Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi and Tennessee Show
Improvement.

Memphis, Tenn.-Cotton in Tennessee
is doing we'll. The plant is not some
times so large as usual for the season,
but is fruiting nicely. Some sections had
good rains, while Others got little; but
as yet no damage from drouth is re-
ported.
Texas.-Moderate showers fell over
Northern and Eastern Texas on Satur-
day and Sunday. No other rains of con-
sequence fell during the week, and the
crops suffered severely. Central and
Middle West Texas are exceedingly dry,
and it appears doubtful if rains now
could repair more than part of the loss
that has been sustained. Owing to the
very dry, hot weather the plant is she'd
ding, an the bolls are beginning to open.
Mississippi.-Many local rains fell in
the state, but they were purely local,
and the relief to the drouth was only
partial. Where the rainfall was abun-
dant the crop has improved greatly, but
the area improved probably does not
equal that where no rain or insufficient
showers fell, and the crop suffered on the
whole.
Louisiana.-Reports from Louisiana
are mixed. In northern and western dis
tricts the crop appears to be doing well.
Elsewhere considerable rain has fallen
and weevil activity is on the increase.
Arkansas.-Rains have been spotted
and regular throughout the state. Crops
in eastern counties appear best. South
ern and western districts are now need
ing rain, and without moisture soon seri-
Gus damage will result.
Alabama.-Rains have now been gen.
eral and plenteous over the state. The
cotton is improving rapidly. The plant
is small and presents the appearance of
being young, but it has begun to fruit
well, and fair crop is indicated.
Outside of Texas the entire western
belt with the exception of Southern
Louisiana, is in need of moisture. In
Oklahoma the progress of the crop has
been arrested, and rain is imperative to
prevent deterioration.
In all states east of Mississippi
the rainfall was abundant, and with the
exception of North Carolina, where some
excess fell, was beneficial. The crop in
Alabama has improved wonderfully, and
in Georgia and South Carolina promises

ON FOOD
The Right Foundation of Health.

Proper food is the foundation of
health. People can eat improper food
for time until there is a sudden COL
lapse OF the digestive organs, then all
kinds of trouble follows.
The proper way out of the difficulty
Is to Shift to the pure, scientific food,
Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire
woman says:
Last summer was suddenly taken
with indigestion and severe stomach
trouble and could not eat food with
out great pain, my stomach was so
sore l could hardly move about. This
Kept up until l was so miserable life
was not worth living.
Then friend finally, after much
argument, induced me to quit my for
mer diet and try Grape-Nuts
Although 1 had but little faith I
commenced to use it, and great was
my surprise to find that l could eat
IT without the usual pain and distress
in my stomach.
so l kept on using Grape-Nuts and
soon marked improvement was,
SHOWN, for my stomach was perform.

lish, who claims that he was threatened
with mob violence and driven out of
Ethel without anything to eat. The lead,
ing citizens of Ethel admit that Mr.. Eng
lish was told to leave town, but they say
that this was not done until he was seen
placing his arm around negroes and
committing other acts which they be-
lieved would be calculated to excite the
blacks and stir up race strife. They say
that no mob was formed, and that if the
minister had not left when told, all they
would have done would have been to
