COTTON CROP IN
 BETTER CONDITION
Weather Has Allowed Planters to Make Headway in Cleaning Fields go Per Cent Average Is
 Expected.

Little Rock, July 25.-J. M. Oracle who returned home on Saturday from Jefferson county where he had been to look after his crops, is consider ably encouraged over the prospects for the cotton crop.
 The farmers of Jefferson county and those of practically all the coun- try lying between Little Rock and that section have had 12 days of dry weather said MT. Oracle last night, and they are getting their cotton cleaned out. If they have another week of such weather, they will get it all cleaned out and if we have favorable conditions during the fruit ing season we will do pretty we'll. The greatest trouble now is the short age of fruit, that is, only few squares to the stalks, but more will develop if this kind of weather con tinues.
 "The cotton cannot possibly make more than 60 per cent of crop now, even with the mot favorable condi- tions, but the prospects are much bet ter than they were a week ago and We consequently feel encouraged.
 While in Jefferson county l in- vestigated the report that the grubs were attacking the rice crop, and I found the report to be without foun- dation. I closely examined my rice and found no grubs I inquired by telephone of a number of rice grow CTS about the matter and all reported no grubs. Judge R. M. Foster of Lo- noke county said there was not a grub to be found in his rice. Fifteen hundred acres of rice in Jefferson county is in splendid condition and I have no fear that grubs will appear in it, as they usually do not make their appearance until the third or fourth season.

Why the Judge Paid.

A physician, says a medical 5ousnss that youches for the truth of the story. was once summoned in haste to attend the child of a family that lived In two rooms in the heart of a large American city-not New York. The child nao been seized suddenly and seriously and lust at election time. The mother was in despair, and when the doubt ful prognosis was given she broks into wailing and violent self condem- nation for some horrible sin of the family to which she said the childs Illness was due-a direct punishment for their crime. She would go ana curse the magistrate for 1t all, her husband should resign from "the force," and such evil ways should DC eenounced forever.
 Curious to know how the magistrate could be held responsible for the child's illness, the doctor finally Sc eured the confession that the crime or the poor, conscience stricken woman consisted in allowing the names Of many fraudulent voters to be regis tered as residing in her house, In swearing to the lie, etc. The magis' trate also had demanded this of all the neighbors in return for indescr1p- able political favors.
 The child recovered, and the magts trate paid the physician's bill.

MAKING FRIENDS
 WITH EDITORS
May Help YOu-POke a StOgie at Him
 and He Will "WOrk."

Says on article in an advertising periodical
 Get acquainted with reporter. Every enterprising man ought to look up the editor of his home paper, if he doesDt know him already, and make friend of him. The editor will be friend of yours if you make an advance, and you will never re- gret the step.'
 Sure. Editors are just dying for friends. They are easy to work" too, after you make a friend of them. Amy kind of an old cigar will do the business, of course. Hunt up an editor and poke stogie at him and make friend-he may serve you sometime when you need publicity. It's no trouble whatever; editors are poor judges of human nature; they can't tell the difference between a friend and fellow who has an axe to grind. Get an editor or two on your staff, by purchase, or otherwise and be happy ever after.
 Seriously, it would be hard to im- agine a greater lot of rot than is contained in the quotation, ''The edi- tor will be friend of yours if you will make an advance''-merely a matter of making an advance. Now, the truth, is no man has to make a friend of an editor. He is already the friend of every man on earth who pays his debts, who is unselfish- ly seeking to benefit the community in which he lives, who is a man. And while he may not have a speaking acquaintance with all such people he is pretty apt to know them by rep utation, and that is quite enough. At times an editor may be led into say ing things which are not true out of friendship for some one, but it doesn't happen often. Generally an editor is the most impersonal of men, scoring a friend when he deserves scoring, doing absolute justice to his enemies, protecting the innocent whe- ther he has ever heard of them be- fore or not.
 It is not because editors are in- herently better than other people; it is because it is part of journalism to give every man a square deal, to play no favorites out of friendship, to condemn that which ought to be condemned and to praise that which is worthy. The most corrupt editor knows that it is good business to deal honestly with everybody wheth- CT he is friend or enemy.
 Then, it is exceedingly difficult to make friends with editors because of their habits. During the working hours upon the paper they are busy, whether they appear so or not. They may always be pleasant enough, and apparently unoccupied when you call but the truth is, the day is just few hours too short for an editor. He has little time during business hours te be sociable, and after business hours he is hard to find-generally. So the fellow who starts out to make flock ose editor friends is likely to come te the conclusion after few months work that the fellow who wrote the article quoted above was thinking o1 some other stripe of bird thar newspaper men.
