Captain w. C. Osgood in his
early life was a grain dealer in
Ohio and sold his grain to a buy
er named Reynolds. Recently
the Captain asked Roy Reynolds
of the Meade Grain and Seed Co.
if he had any relatives in a GER
tain town saying that he knew
grain buyer there by that
name. Mr.. Reynolds told him
that the grain dealer mentioned
was hisfather, so Captain Osgood
is now selling on what was the

The school savings bank scheme
in Kansas City has resulted in plac-
ing $a5, 10000 on deposit to the
credit Of the school children of the
city which is drawing interest for
them. The holiday gifts raised the
amount by $t,o Surely the idea
is good one and beneficial in more
than the one item of learning the
children to save their pennies,
though it is we'll worth taking up for
that reason alone. The gathering
of this money into the banks places
it where it increases the total sum
in circulation for business purpose
to sum worth caring for. If the
children had not spent their pennies
for sweets they would have boarded
it at home thus taking it out of bust
ness.

DOORS AS AIDS
TO DIGESTION
0rientalS InhaIe Sweet Per-
fumes After Each Meal

Sweet scents to aid digestion are an
Importation from the orient. The in
fiuence of odors is exceedingly marked
Some people cannot remain where Ii
laos are in full bloom or bear the odor
of jasmine Some Gre given head
ache by heliotrope or tuberose. Some
are given the vertigo or sinking SEN
sation by cantharides; some are nau-
seated even by roses. Attocks of real
illness with long trains of digestive
disodders following in their wake may
. be brought on by odors.
The fact can be explained only as a
pathological phenomenon, says Dr..
George NJ. Niles, exerting its influence
on the most vulnerable point in the
human economy. the gastro-intestinal
tract. AS offending scents may set in
motion a train of morbid digestive
symptoms, so, on the contrary, those
that are sweet and agreeable may ex-
ercise highly beneficial effect. The
orientals have developed 20 a notable
degree the faculty of deriving the most
enjoyment from inhaling fragrant
odors.
The most beautiful creations pic
tured in the imagination OF Mahome-
tans are the houris represented IN the
Koran as humps of Paradise, formed
of musk, who eXhale from their lovely
bodies enhancing perfumes. IL is the
custom of many eastern peoples TO
spend after each meal season OF
quiet while the air around them is
rendered fragrant by fine mist OF
a bottle of their fayorite perfume is
constantly inhaled.

PLANTS MADE
TO YOUR ORDER

Plants in the future may be made
to order, according to Professor c.
Stuart eager. of the College of Agri-
culture, who for the last two years has
been experimenting with radium in
the agricultural laboratories of the
University Of Missouri, at Columbia,
Mo.
An entirely new species of primrose
has been originated by the use of
radium, and it has held true to the
new form through three generations
of the plant. The color of the flower
was changed and the leaves changed
from broad to narrow. In addition
to creating new species IL is possible
either to accelerate or retard the
growth Of seeds and plants by expos
ing them TO the action Of the radium
rays.

COTTON MARKET WEAKENS.
Decline of $5.15 to $5.S5 Per Bale on
Active Months Was Result of Sell

New York, April 15.-The cotton

the big break of last January Sell
ing was general and at the low level
Of the day prices showed a loss OF
from $5.15 to $5.S5 per bale OH the
acti"e months, as compared vita the
high level reached in the market last
week. 1t was the general opinion
break was in progress that it reflect
ed the abandonment Of the bull cam
paign in May contracts, during which
there have been such unusal develop
ments as practically simultaneous
shipments of cotton from New York
to Liverpool and from Liverpool to
New York. These shipments, it is
claimed, are by the bull party to re-
duce the local stock on the one hand,

test themselves against a threatening
corner.
Whether or not the bulls were ac-
tually liquidating their position,
houses credited with carrying their
business were heavy sellers at times
during the day. But May remained
relatively steady on the decline and
after the close of the market there
were those in the trading who de-
clared that the bull leaders were
standing by their main position and
the selling movement had been pre-
cipitated by false rumOrs to the ef-
feet that overtures for a private set
tlement had been declined by the
leading shorts.
In the last few minutes of trad
ing there was a big demand which
toCk thousands of bales off the mar
ket and caused a sharp closing rally.
The general news received but lit
tie attention after the big break
started but it seems that bullish con-
fidence, at any rate outside of the
market leaders has been gradually
undermined by the more favorab able
weather for the new crop and a slack
trade demand.
