Baths in the Street.

A method Of providing baths for the
poor Of the congested districts of large
cities at a minimum expense and in.
convenience has been devised BY a
Kansas City man. The simple appar.
atus is composed OF several lengths of
two inch iron pipe with a water plug
connection on one end and four com.
mon shower bath sprays arranged at
the other, the whole costing only IS
TO make, and the baths are given in
the street.
Each afternoon In summer the an.
paratus is carried through the thick.
ay populated part Of the city, the at.
tendant stopping every block or so TO
connect 1t with a water plug. The boys
soon learn to watch for 1t and to ore.
pare for the bath by DOMINIC, II they
see fit, still older clothes. In this wsy
several thousand Kansas City children
were given a street shower bath once
a day during the summer months. The
city provided the necessary water
free. Men. women and even horses "a
well as the children, also have the
privilege Of bath.-Popular Mechan.

PURPOSE NEVER MADE CLEAR
Probably No One EXCEPT Aaron Burr
Really Knew What He
Planned to Do.

There is to this day not a little ele-
ment of mystery about what was
known as Burr's conspiracy. Soon
after his duel with Alexander Hamil-
ton, in which the lattee got his death
wound. Burr was indicted for murder
both in New York and New Jersey.
But before the warrant could be
served on him he made his escape to
the then primitive west.
Burr apparently made little or no ef-
fort to conceal his identity after get
ting out Of the reach Of the authorities
for the murder Of Hamilton. In truth
he apparently was inclined to look
upon himself as something Of ma
ional hero. suffering from the pref.
Idices Of politics.
In the course OF his extensive wests
ward tour Burr Matched a plot for
some sort Of gigantic. visionary and
mysterious empire over which be was
to become the ruler. His real pur.
pose has never been definitely known,
even those joining in the enterprise
being kept in more or less ignorance
Of its scope. Some historians have
the impression that his purpose was to
separate the Mississippi valley from
the rest Of the union and thereon t.
found a new country. Other historian
say that his real object was TO ra.sn
an army and conquer Mexico. thus
making himself the ruler Of that coun
try. o..
The headquarters of this plot finally
became Blennerhassett island, In tAe
Ohio river. the owner of the island.
Herman Blennerhasset. becoming one
Of Burr's co-conspirators. In 1906 Burr
gathered about him there group Of
reckless adventures Of his own ilk
and set out to march to the region Of
Texas. ostensibly for purposes Of colo
niZation.
President jefferson Immediately Is.
sued 4 proclamation warning all clti-
zens Of the country against joining
the expedition, having been Informed
that the real object of it was not a
peaceable one. Burr was finally ar
rested By the presidents orders and
sent a captive to Virginia. where he
was indicted on charges OF conspiring
against the government. Blenne.has
set also was captured. but was subse
Quently set free when Burr was &C
quilted of the charge.

ANNUAL REVIEW OF COTTON
Ne" Crop Represents Acreage Larger
Than Ever eefore-Price Three
Cents Higher than Year Ago.

According to the annual review of
the cotton situation, just published by
the New York Financial Chronicle, the
total cotton crop for the year 1909,
ending with September l, turns out to
be 13,S2S,OOO bales, compared with
ll,5S2,OOU bales the preceding p
months. These totals may be COM
pared with 1851, 900 bales for the
year covering the crop grown in 1906
and moved up to the close of that crop
year ending September l, 1907.
Out Of the latest crop grown and
fully harvested and marketed. the
total takings by spinners north and
south during the u months ended
September l, 1909, reached SAP 900
bales, nearly equally divided between
the north and south. Exports mean.
while we're S,5s2,0OO bales, showing
that foreigners took about G. per
cent of the aggregate crop. OF course
these exports Of raw cotton do not
represent all Of our foreign business.
because We sent abroad, in addition.
during the fiscal year ended June 30.
1909, cotton manufactures to the ex.
tent of $S2,OOO,0G0, or the largest on
record.
Domestic stocks of old cotton at
the opening of September we're very
small. The worlds visible supply was
larger than a year ago, but smaller
than two years ago. The home price
is now three cents a pound higher
than last year at this time. 1t appears
that the new crop OF cotton now rap
idly maturing represents an acreage
larger than ever before. The oncom
ing crop may be truly termed a late
one and full of uncertainty, owing to
the drought and high temperatures
which have prevailed in the south
west.
The spot market is firm, middling
selling at 1890 cents per pound in
New York, but fuctuating between
that price and lS cents. The census
report of the ginning shows a total
Of 377,52O bales ginned in August, CON-
pared with 4O2.229 the same time last
year.

FARMER WHO IS SUCCESSFUL
Time Coming When Agrieulturist VIII
Put Into Practice Principles
Manufacturer Uses.

There is doubtless a time coming
when the farmer will put into practice
the principles wherein the manufac.
turer the world over has found the
secret Of success. To one as to the
other business applies the rule of a
maximum of product with a minimum
both of labor cost and of waste. There
needs to be kept In mind, as this coun.
try grows older, the homely maxim
about making two blades grow where
grew only one. The cost of labor in.
creases with the area cultivated faster
than with the crop to be harvested,
says the Missoula, Mont, Muscular,
The use Of machinery modifes, but
does not abrogate, this law. The de
mand of the world for wheat, It is
true, has increased enormously; but
Canada and Argentina have been
added TO the sources Of supply.
1t is only by decreasing the cost
OF production IN relation to the cui
dvsted aera that the farmer Of the
United States can hold his own In
wheat, where he lacks the approach
to monopoly that natural advantages
have granted the southern cotton
grower. There are probably few farm
ers who have closely figured the av
erage cost Of marketing any given
unit OF their crops, as the manufactur
er figures upon each article he turns
out. AS long as there was nothing tc
be done but to pillow and to SOW and
to reap and to count up the total re
suit such calculations were not nee
essary or called for In the final analy
sis. But that easy time is rapidly be
coming evanescent. 1t is the man who
now makes two blades grow where
one grew before, not two blades upon
twice the area Of ground, who Is on
the road to wealth.

Work Of the Lauohmakers.

The most cursory survey OF the
worlds literature. dramatic or other.
wise, will convince anyone that the
profession Of humorist or true comedi..
an is one Of the most exacting ever
known, says the Denver News. The
j)sesmith may get a momentary laugh
from an audience that Is willing 10
take the will for the deed. But the
man who would set his name among
those who have made permanent addi-
ions to the worlds fun must have a
lst Of specifications fer a permit to
lake q road through a PInchot re-
serve. He must have insight, sympa.
thy. knowledge Of character. He must
rave sense for fact that is felt be.
!eath his alriest webs of fancy He
must have an ear for the right word
that no correspondence school can
confer. 1t is easier to be a wit than
to be humorist: easier to laugh al
people than to laugh with them, or
make them laugh at themselves.

CoaIinu in a Modern NAVY.

You know what coaling in a modern
navy is: A game, a fray. like football
or target practice. between ship and
ship, between nation and nation. Every
man-o-war gang that handles the
hoists and coal bags knows the best
loads OF the channel feet. of the Pa.
cific feet, just as a baseball fan
keeps batting averages IN the tip Of
his tongue. Making a sporting con.
test OF cOaling. with crew wagering
against crew. is the only mitigation of
the anniversary of the landing of the
first collier, says Eyerybody's Maya
zine. All doors are locked, all air.
ports closed, SO that even the ward.
room country stiles. and still the
black dust pollutes your bunk. No
watch officer can get shore leave; all
don dungarees and pitch in to rig the
"whips"-to weigh, and tally every
load; to run them to the matches with
their own hands thus boosting along
the blueiackets' ambition

Feeding CottOnseed Meal.

The feeding of cottonseed meal in
connection with either shelled corn
and clover hay, or shelled corn, clo-
yer hay and corn silage, results in a
greater daily gain, a greater eonsump-
ton OF feed, a cheaper grain and a
greater profit per steer. This was DEM
onstrated in three tests at the Indiana
experiment. station. The steers also
fatten more rapidly, attain a higher
finish, distribute the fat more uni
formly over the carCasses and have a
higher market value.

Need of Soils.
