to the national weekly weather bulletin

1.-The weather bureau of the week as
whole was unfavorable over the great
corn growing states, being generally too
cool for the best development of that
cereal. Farm work is much delayed and
the season generally backward.

pectally over the more eastern portions;
over the more western portions how
ever, warm weather prevailed and condi-
lions were generally more favorable.
I'm the cotton growing states the
weather was generally favorable, ample
sunshine was the rule, and light showers
occurred in many portions, increasing TO
heavy rains in portions of Georgia and
the Carolina states 1t was slightly too
cool, however, in the more northern por-
lions and somewhat too dry along tho
gulf coast and over portions of southern
Georgia and the Florida peninsula.
I'm Texas conditions were generally Ia
vorable. Good showers occurred in por-

PROTEST MADE BY
COTTON BUYERS

Atlanta. June 1.-For the purpose OF ap-
pointing a representative to go to Lon
don to protest against the demand that
all southern cotton be shipped on port
bills of lading, the Southern Cotton Buy
ers association will hold meeting In
this city next Thursday. The report of
the association probably will be author
lied to propose surety company as
protection for through bills of lading as
now used.
The present demands of foreign bank
ers is the result OF recent failures of
two big southern exporting firms, Knight,
Yancey & Co., of Decatur. Ala. AMI
steel. Miller & Co., of Corinth, Miss,
by which the foreigners lost in the neigh
borhood of 100000.
It is claimed by bankers of the inland
cities that If port bills of lading are re-
oured, it would be impossible to do
any amount of business from interior
cities. with Galveston, New Orleans. Sa-
vannah and Mobile and other coast
points.
The question was discussed at meet
ing of the banking committee of the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce today and
recommendations will be laid before the
Cotton Buyers association at its meeting
Thursday

But, alas! the search was as frutless as
looking for a needle in a hay stack, for
nothing bearing even the remotest re-
semblance to belt was visible to the
naked eye!
Whatever will you do, my child?" said
the devoted mother solicitously as she
herself completely and neatly attired was
about to leave the room.
Now, please don't get wrought up over
the situation" said Priscilla grimly Gust

their hands and agonizing over me-" she
protested, somewhat ambiguously to her.

Then she took her stand in front of the
mirror and tried to turn the top of her
skirt to make it look like it had been
built with belt, but to her infinite dis
gust no amount of coaxing would in
duce the wayward skirt to look as If 1t
didn't need a belt, when it did.
Undaunted still, Priscilla began a search
of the room to see whether any of the
furnishings, such as portiere cords, the
ribbons on the tides or anything else
would answer.
She peered into the closets.
She examined the curtains
She looked under the bed-always a
womans last resort
In all that vast amount of hotel topog-
raphy nothing. not even the faintest ghost
Of belt, was to be seen!
She bethought herself of her hat, but
Its chief ornament being an aigrette and
chou of black maline, and the lining,
there was cold comfort indeed, to be
had from that!
Next she tied her handkerchief around
her waist, and while it covered the safety
pin and an inch or two of waist space on
either side, wide span in front was left
high and dry, out In the cold, cold world
with never a covering!
In her anger she rolled the innocent
handkerchief up into tight ball and
threw it across the room vehemently, and
as she did SO she esped her navy blue
silk umbrella, and there at last was the
life saver!N
She quickly removed the cover and
smoothed it out and pinned it around her
waist. And no belted knight more proud

than did Priscilla at the breakfast table
to her astonished mother.

self immensely, feeling quite as well
dressed as anybody, did Priscilla, and
never to this day In her prisons does this
maid forget to murmur a little prayer for
the peace of the soul of the man who
originated umbrella covers. SO useful had
one proved to her in time Of need!
