Among the Barotse natives favor1te form of cap ftal punishment Is to coat the victim with grease and throw him before the advancing army of soldier ants.

carthaaa,s Great Snake.

The ancients firmly believed in mon ster serpents of all kinds and of both the land and marine species. During the wars with Carthage. great snake is said to have kept the Roman army from crossing the Bagrados river for several days. The monster swallowed up no less than seventy Roman sol diers during this combat and was not conquered until a hundred stones from as many different catapults were fired upon it all at one time. The monster skull and skin were preserved and afterward exhibited in one of the RO man temples. The dried skin of the creature was 12O feet in length, ac. cording to Pliny.

POLES.

There is neither diminution in the size of the audiences witnessing the Girl of the Golden West at Poli's this week nor is there diminution of interest in the very excellent presen- tation of this great Belasco play by the members of the Poli Players. Stage Director Eagle who is a member of the Belasco forces is especially pleas ed with the presentation and this is 8 splendid tribute coming from a man who is close to BelascO and who has absorbed much of the Belasco tenn perament as to thoroughness and de- tail. Miss Stockweu in the role of The Girl is playing the best role she has essayed this season and playing it we'll while Joseph Eggenton as The Sheriff and John E. Ince as The Stranger give faultless portrayals of these difficult roles. Individual hits are scored by most every other one of the favorites especially Tommy Williams in the role of The Sidney Duck which he makes a great comedy part of and Arthur Buchanan that sterling actor in the role of Sonora Slim.
 MT. Eagle has given it a superb scenic presentation SO much so thai many of the scenes and pictures get applause without any one being on the stage. The Girl of the Golden West will be given. twice daily for the bal ance of the week and the seats reser- vations 'are enough now to fill the theatre at each of the remaining per- formances A decided hit is being scored by Jack Altman and the Sing ing Ushers in their popular songs. For next week Manager Poli will offer another of the great George Ade play: when he will present on a par with the original production the comedy The College Widow which enjoyed 2 splendid vogue both in this country and abroad and is yet one of the most popular comedies playing Adt is wonderfully clever at drawing types and he has outdone himself in this production as all who see it can wei testify.

BY-PRODUCTS OF
OILED STREETS
They Include Oiled Sidewalks ani
 SOiled Torches.

A good many Hartford people, in cluding the housewives, are looking upon the newly oiled streets with min gled emotions and are wondering whether absence of dust is better than the presence of oil.
 After the sprinkling cart has made three sloppy trips through block and has drenched the street with oil, the first result is an odor suggest ing a spoiled egg, but this soon disap- pears Peddlers and hucksters cross and recross the street and bring sam ples of asphaltic oil across the side walk and up on the back steps, and then come the icemen and leave a few more permanent footprints. In the meantime the postmen, crossing and recrossing the streets and the dis tributors of placards and advertise ments have decorated the front porch es with the same greasy material, and it needs a good deal of vigilance on the part of housewives, especially thoses having boys in the family, to keep the oil out of the house.

FUTURE CONTRACT
TRADING.
An Accepted Theory and Es-
tablished Fact - Wilmington
Chamber of Commerce OPP
poses Proposed Federal Leg
/ lation.


mr.. J. A. Taylor, and as it is a
INA. ter of public Importance, The
Robesonian gives space to the fol-
lowing resolutions, passed by the
Wilmington Chamber of Com
MERGE on the End:
Since the time of A d a m
Smith the value of future trading
for the marketing of annual
crops and products has been an
accepted theory and established
fact; and, on the whole, despite
the abuses of administration,
it cannot be doubted that the
theory and practice have proved
beneficial factors in the worlds
commercial development. 1t is
no unknown thing to experience
a revolt against a sound economic
principle because of abuses incl
dent to administration, and the
present outcry against the cot
ton exchanges of this country is
no doubt attributable to this fact.
The principle of future con-
tract trading is price equation
based on prospective supply as
related to prospective demand
for a protracted period, whereby
movement of the commodity is
not the sole determining factor
in price-making for the time be-
ing. Without this system for
marketing a commodity like cot
ton the producer would be entire
ly at the mercy of the spot deal
er; and fluctuations, if not so err.
raAc, would, during the crop
year, measure wider variations
with greater resultant loss to the
grower. Spot dealers could com
bine to depress the spot market
and in the absence of specula
tive quotations for future deliv
cry, based on prospective suppl.
and demand, force producers +
sell at ruinously low prices be
cause of their inability to nego
tiate loans on their holdings. Tn
result would be to put the maj
ket entirely at the mercy of spo
dealers, whose large resource
would enable them to buy u
the cotton at their own price
and speculate on their holding
Thus at one blow, would the pr
ducers be forced out of their hol
ings at unremunerative pric
and the weaker spinners pena
lied by being forced to pay hig
"er prices for their future 81
plies.
Such a situation would be
finitely worse than any exchan
abuses now complained of, a
result in not only ruin to
producing class but to the
rious detriment of general co
mercial interest. Nor would
majority of the cotton mills
cape the injurious effects of 81
a condition, because compa
lively few Of them are in pt
ton to finance their yearly s
ply of spot cotton, and be

at Indianapolis and in tests on the
speedway has given promise of being
among the money winners. This event
is one of the severest tests to which
any of the racing cars and drivers will
be subjected.
None of the other automobile fac
tories of the city entered cars in the
races this year, owing to the limited
time in which they had to prepare their
cars and test them out.
Those who are attending the races
from this city are for the most part
automobile owners. Many automobile
parties were formed and the trip made
in this manner. but some remembering
their experiences Of last year, when it
was practically impossible to leave the
speedway in a machine, journeyed to
Indianapolis either on the steam or
traction lines.
