THE COTTON MARKET.
500 Bales Received. Crop Very

QUO Bales Received. Crop Very
Short. Tuesdays Prices.
Tuesday at noon the Dawson ware
houses had received 5000 bales of
cotton by wagon. At the CORES
ponding date last year the receipts
were 1929 bales. Quotations at the
time of going to press were:
Fully Good Middling .12%
Good Middling. .12%
Fully Middling. 49,. .125s
At the same date a year ago fully
good middling sold for Il q.
The crop through this section will
be very rt-disastrously so in
many instances. Some of the coun-
tvs best farmers who raise several
hundred bales say that they will not
make more than half a crop, and
that two-thirds of it has already
been gathered. None will get more
than three-foUrths Of a crop, and
there are many who will not get
more than One-fourth of their usual
yield. A number of good farmers
who have heretofore made from
twelve to fifteen bales to the pillow
nave reported in the last few days
that they will not get more than
three or four bales to the pillow this
year.

She was warned by her mother that
the screen might give way and let her
fall to the sidewalk, perhaps injuring
her terribly. She drew away, thought

profitable employment for young men.
Farmers are becoming heavy buyers.

DRINK WATER TO CURE
KIDNEYS AND RHEUMATISM
The People Do Not Drink Enough
Water to Keep Healthy,
Says Well-known
Authority.

THE numerous cases of kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism are
mainly due to the fact that the drink
ing of water, natures greatest medi-
cine, has been neglected.
Stop loading your system with med
icines and cure-alls; but get on the
water wagon. If you are really sick,
why, of course, take the proper medi-
cines-plain. common vegetable treat
ment. which will not shatter the
nerves or ruin the stomach"
To cure Rheumatism you must make
the kidneys do their work; they are
the filters of the blood. They must
be made to strain out of the blood the
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism; the urine must be neu-
tralized SO it will no longer be a
source of irritation to the bladder. and,
most of all, you must keep these acids
from forming in the stomach. This
Is the cause of stomach trouble and
poor digestion. For these conditions
you can do no better than take the
following prescription: Fluid Extract
Dandelion. one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by
shaking well in bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime. but don't forget the
water. Drink plenty and often.
This valuable information and sim
pie prescription should be posted up
in each household and used at the
first sign Of an attack of rheumatism,
backache or urinary trouble. no mat
ter how slight.

THE REUNION
a Story of a Thanks
giving in a Tourist
Car :. :. - =
BY MINNIE e. oLIPHANr.

Geneyieve and l were riding in a
tourist car. headed away from Los An
geles, and slowly creeping across
Death valley. Our thoughts were with
the folks at home, who were getting
ready for the Thanksgiving dinner, but
we were talking of other things. Words
are slow unless thoughts are produc-
ing them, and, therefore, the conver-
sation Jagged.
Finally, Genevieve turned to me
with the smile always wore when
a good plain plan had just struck
her.
Lets make believe" she suggest
ed that the passengers in this coach
are all relatives, and let's have fam
ily reunion and Thanksgiving din
ner."
How can we?" l asked.
"I,ll go around and tell them that
this is Thanksgiving. and we are all
relations, and they are invited to our
section for family reunion, and that
they are to furnish their own share OF
the dinner"
looked around the car to see what
our relations" appeared to be like.
Inst back of our section was young
man with fretful baby, and little
three-year-old girl. He seemed SO
tired. but patient, though awkward,
with the children. l had heard him tell
the Young man who wore a striped
sweater. and sat across the aisle, that
he had Just lost his wife and was TAX
ing sne children back to their grand
mother in Ohio. The young man in
the sweater lolled around in bis sec
tlon. dividing his time between mag
azine, the Los Angeles papers and the
desert scenery outside. Back of him
sat a middle-aged jew, who talked to
no one. and looked at nothing in par
ticular, as If he had forgotten where
he was. Just before us was a young
lady and all we knew about her was
