The Cotton Kings.

The new cotton combination is
trying to popularize itself by announ-
cling as the main reason for it's ex-
istence a desire TO escape the gyra-
lions In the cotton market. One
way of doing that now ia by the prac-
tice of hedging"
Manufacturers who have a fair
amount Of capital do not have to buy
cotton at the top Of a bull market
they can generally wait until a pend
ing corner has been closed out with
disastrous results only to the spec
ulators on the wrong side. The
prices have been high or low for a
considerable length Of time only
when the crops have been short or
excessive, and under such circum-
stances the International Cotton Co.
will be unable to prevent the advance
Of cotton prices to manufacturers or
the fall of cotton prices to the pro-
ducers.
The real reason for forming this,
as for forming other industrial COM
binations, ia to suppress competition
between manufacturers and make it
possible TO extort more money from
consumers.

WHAT CURES EoZEMA3

We have had so many inquiries
lately regarding eczema and other
skin diseases that we are glad to
make our answer public. After care
full Investigation we have found that
a simple wash of Oil of Wintergreen,
as compounded in D. d. D., can be
relied upon. We would not make
this statement to our patrons, friends
and neighbors unless We were sure
of it-and although there are many
se-caIled eczema remedies sold. we
ourselves unhesitatingly recommend
D. ID. d. Prescription.
Because-We know that 1t gives
instant relief to that torturing itch.
Because-D. d. d. starts the cure
at the foundation OF the trouble.
Because-It enables nature to re-
pair the ravages Of disease.
Because-The records of ten years
Of complete cures Of thousands of
the most serious cases show that d.
d. d. is today recognized an the alb
solutely reliable eczema cure.
Drop into our store today, just to
talk over Jour case with Us.

Tolls Abolished at Last,

The Rock river bridges are free
at last. The toll which has been
hanging over one of the most i'm
portant gateways to the city since
the memory of man runneth not to
the contrary, has been abolished.
The we'll planned move to attain the
end for which the wideawake people
have struggled for many years has
triumphed. What city councils have
been urged 20 do, the present mu-
nicipal body last night accomplished
by unanimous vote. In years past,
time and time again this matter has
been brought up for consideration
and action, only TO meet with delay
and in the end failure. Too much
cannot be said in commentator OF
every instrument that has in any
way contributed to the final accom-
plishment.
In the dim and distant pioneer
days, when toll bridges were the
order of things all over the land, the
practice of paying for the privilege
of entering city was not regarded
30 seriously as has been the case In

Enthusiaarn Over Flytne I'm Air.

While the recent great aviation
meet at Belmont park. New York, was
not an unqualified success, 60 far as
the monetary returns to its financial
hackers are concerned, it undoubtedly
VIII do moro to encourage khe popular
adoption Of aerial fight both as q d.
version and as q business enterprise
than any similar event that has taken
place. In fact, all New York and the
representatives OF wealth and fashion
throughout the country generally are
afflicted with . case Of aeroplanitfs
compared with which the interest in
automobiles IN the early days of motor
development was insignificant.
With the demonstration that aero
planes can fly in all kinds of weather
except actual hurricanes, and that
planes built to carry one or more pas
sengers are feasible and safe. almost
all men Of wealth-and many women
also-have become AFFLICTED with de-
sire to own some form OF air craft.
The art Of flying as pract1ced by the
experts who took part in the meet,
seems so easy that many persons who
have always maintained that they
never would trust themselves in the
air have become enthusiasts over this
form Of sport
The great demand for air machines
has established the building of these
craft on a substantial basis. The
builders now In the field are crowded
with orders that they cannot fill for
months to come and plans have been
perfected for the establishment Of a
SIC, 100000 company to operate under
the Wright patents.
While the ownership Of aeroplanes
among amateurs is at present confined
mostly to the millionaire class on &C
count OF the expense attached to IT.,
the best posted authorities predict that
before the end OF 1912 safe and prac-
tical air craft will be brought within
the reach of men of moderate means
and that the operation OF a flying ma
chine will attract no more attention
than does that Of an automobile at
| present.

At those who make the move
And places his reliance
