Capron Hustler Notes

Mrs. Youmans Of Medicine Lodge is
here visiting at the home Of c. R. Scott
and family.
Pete McGary of Bucklin, Kansas and
John McGary Of Dodge City, Kansas,
came in the first Of the week to spend a
day or two with their brother Jim two
miles northeast Of town. They left for
their homes yesterday.
The new house of John Nelson has
been plastered, receiving the white coat
the first Of the week. A large porch is
being put up in front Of the building, a

There is something wrong between
Judge Lester. the Lake City end Of the
Medicine Lodge Cresset, and Rev. w.
c. Timmons, Lake City's Methodist
minister. Last weeks contribution is
real sarcastic and we fully expect that
Rev. Tiimmons will turn the other cheek
in new way. We would like to know
how it all started.

CONFER ON CURTAILMENT
Only Four Weeks Necessary to Re-
duce Need Of 100000 Bales.

Fall River, Mass.-A committee of
prominent cotton manufacturers
from Boston came here to discuss
the curtailment situation with the
executive committee of the Cotton
Manufacturers Association. AS far as
the manufacturers could see, there
was no choice but to curtail, unless
cotton decreased materially in price.
At present prices the mills could not
afford to keep running. The atti-
tude of the manufacturers toward
curtailment was not bluff, says the
president. A four weeks curtailment,
of all the mills of the country would
reduce their need for cotton by fully
million bales. 1t. was well known
that the mills of the country had
carried 100000 bales of cotton
over from last. years crop. Even if
the new crop should not amount to
more than 100000 bales, as some
prophets claimed, there would be
plenty Of staple to go around. Spec-l
ulators were held to be- responsible
for the high cost of cotton. They
could ,probably hold on for while.
but a general. curtailment would
force prices down in spite of them.

Meeting of Taft and Diaz Simple. In
formal and in Private.

meeting between President Taft and
President Diaz, of the republic of
Mexico, took place here Saturday.
Outwardly it was attended with a
display of soldiery, flare of trum-

OF ceremony, suggestive of supreme
authority, but in the actual hand
clasp of the two executives and in
the exchange of courteous words
which passed from Zip to lip there
was simple but cordial informally.
= president Diaz was the first to
speak. He, assured President Taft
of his warm personal regard and his
high esteem of the man who had ac-
'conp1isnen So Fnftleh in4tiles Phillip,
pines, in Cuba ana elsewhere, and
who had now the honor to be the
chief executive of so great a nation
as the United States. President
Taft in simple American fashion, de-
clared he was glad to meet President
Diaz. He was glad to know the
president of such a great action; es-
pecially glad to know the present
president who had made the nation
great.
Both presidents dwelt upon the
cordiality of the relations existing
between the United States and Mex
leo. President Taft declared that
today's meeting was not necessary
to make stronger the bonds of
it merely typiied the
strength of the bonds as they al
ready existed.
There were less than a score Of
persons permitted to witness the
of the two executives.

Points on Hog Raising

w. F. Ward, of the Bureau of
Animal Industry speaking of hog
raising, brought out among other
points, the following: 1t pays to
market corn by feeding it to good
hogs to be sold on the market; cat
tie are not good enough to justify
feeding them on corn; raise pork;
avoid inbreeding; plant white clover,
burr clover, lespedeza, hairy vetch,
bermuda, peas and peanuts and pas
ture hogs, mixing green feed with
dry; fatten on peas, sweet potatoes
and corn, but not ON corn alone; it
Is too expensive; soy beans is a good
fattener; never feed cotton seed meal
to hogs longer than three weeks at
a. time. He advocated Poland China
Duroc Jersey and Berkshire hogs
for the South.

age by the recent storm is over $S,-
100000. They will try to save
some of this blown down timber by
working it into slaves and export
