Help!-If Not Too Busy.

The courtesy which distinguishes a
true gentleman is never forgotten,
even in the face of dire peril. An in
stance in point is given by an antarc-
tic explorer, Lieutenant Shackleton,
and printed in the London Chronicle.
The members of his party, he said,
were invariably good humored and
polite, but one scientific man attached
to the expedition was especially con-
spicuous for this virtue.
"Are you busy, Mawson?' he called
out one night to another member OF
the party, who was in the tent.
81 am" said Mawson.
VERY busy?" asked the professor.
Eyes. Very busy"
eff you are not too busy, Mawson,
I am down a crevasse."
The professor was found hanging
down a crevasse by his four fingers
position which he could not have
occupied for any length of time.

'The American accent" writes a
contemporary correspondent, sis far
less irritating than the cockney dia-
lect, and it would be well for US if
the former, which is at least musical,
could be substituted for the cacopho-
nous patois of our east end
AS a matter of fact, we think that
the cockney accent has certain num-
Der of real admirers, but what we
wish to call to our readers minds par
ticularly is that America has it's cock

People in Kentucky have a rather
burrish way of speaking, and they
loathe and detest the fruity twang
which overwhelms New England The
westerner, again, is responsible for the
dialect which was supplied on the

Whether you acquire the American
accent or not depends on the length Of

Once we met a man who had re-

"POOLROOM" MIsWAMED.
New York's Mayor Wants Them in the

Mayor Gaynor Of New York sent this
letter to Police Commissioner Baker yes
terday:
In reports OF your inspectors on betting

rected your attention. and eSp2cia IL on
those against which you Obtained variants,
they are called ''poOlro0mS. The result OF
the police calling them poolro0ms Is that
the newspapers give them the same name,
and this has been going on for years and
the result of this is that it is supposed all
over the country. that '.poo'rooms and
pool selling" exist in this city In this
way the city is undeSeryedIy given il bad
name.
The undeniable truth is that immediate ly
on the going into effect of the constitution
of this state in 1894 which contained u pro
vision forbidding pool selling all poo,roOnT'
and pool selling Immediately ceased in this
city and there have been none since. Ii
there has been even an isolated case | de-
sire you to refer to it.
There have been all along betting and
gambling places, which is very different.
The keeping of places for betting on horse
races OF on anything else lis forbidden and
made crime by the penal code To keep Il
poolrOOm or sell pools is also prohibited
and made a crime thereby. The two Of
lenses are entirely different. Betting bears
no resemblance to pool selling.

men of your force to cease reporting pool
selling and poolrooms when they only mean

Farm Products Exports.


Exports of farm products from the
United States have increased from an
average of $150,000,O0O a year in the
five-year period from 1851 to 1855 to
more than $1,000, 100000 in 1908, &C
cording to the Department of Agricul-
ture The increase in exports has
been greater than the increase in pop
ulation. In 1876 the average value
per capita of agricultural exports was
S5.S5; in 1901-05 it was $10.SS. Ex-
ports Of packing house products have
increased from S1OOOO,0OO in the
1876 period to S196,0O0,0O0 in 1908,
the principal items in this group be-
ing pork, beef and oleo oil. Since
1905 there has been decline in the
exports of beef, but the balance of
trade favors foreign countries by near
ly $200,000,O00 in the year ending
June 80, 1909, according to the adj
vance sheets of the report of the New
York Chamber CT Commerce. The re-
port will show that imports into the
United States increased $18,085, 245
over 1908, while exports for 1909 fell
off $175,35S,926.

For anybody to appreciate advice
he always has to pay more for it than

The worst of getting out of trouble
is there's so much more to get right

A substitute for Cotton.

Ingenious Germans have experiment.

kapok or silk cotton tree of tropical

useful substitute for cotton. If that
is the case they will have furnished
additional proof that no substance,
however valuable, is actually indis-

to be almost so, and there are few

Feed Material,

The various feeding materials give
results more according to quality than
to amount provided the stock. Properly
cured corn fodder, hay that was put in
the NOV at just the right condition
and grain that is free from mold or
smut, will produce greater gain at less
cost than articles that are not of good
quality No rule for feeding, accord
ing to weight of the animal, can be
depended upon, but the more food an
animal consumes the greater it's abil-
ity to produce if the food itself is not
deficient in nutrition.

Preventing Mice Damage to Trees.
Mice are attracted to an orchard in
winter by covering of dead vegeta-
ton on the ground. If the vegetation
can be plowed under in the fall it will
destroy their nesting and hiding
places. Some farmers burn the dead
grass and weeds in their orchards in
the fall, but this is not good practice.
as there is danger of killing the trees
by fire and the dead vegetation is
needed for a mulch and to apply hui

Notes q. the Farm Dairy.

The best cows are the ones that the
careful dairyman raises for himself.
The best favored butter in the world
is made in private dairies-and the
worst, too.
The silo enables the farmer to carry
more head of stock than he otherwise
could be able to do
To produce their full milk-giving
capacity, cows should be kept as free
from disturbance ais possible.
Care and feeding the first two years
with the calves and heifers is where
many men succeed in raising stock.
No one man can develop cow into a
high producer unless that COW had an
inherited quality of development to
start with.
Some don't seem to realize the i'm
portance of manipulating the udder
with the hand at the same tine they
are milking.
Success in dairying demands that a
man breed and develop his oan cows
as far IS possible, and buy, if ae must,
wisely.

Worlds Cotton Production"

Texas produces 100000 bales OF
cotton annually; the United States
except Texas produces 100000 bales
and the world except the United States
100000. The United States produces
OF per cent of the cotton of the world
but when we want to know what cot
ton is worth we wire Engiand's fac
tories for prices. If we doubled our
production without home factories
we would have even less to say
about fixing prices OF cotton; but, on
the other hand, if we had 81 per cent
of the cotton factories of the world,
we could fix prices ourselves and take
our rightful place as master OF the
worlds commerce. English manufac-
turers located thousand miles from
the cotton field fix the prices. We have
but one alternative; we must manu-
facturc cotton and other staple articles
in Texas or forever pay tribute to out
side manufacturers, and governments
saws the Texas Commercial Secretaries
Association.
When we buy cotton goods to the
amount of one dollar the farmer gets
~ cents, the transportation companies
7 cents, the English manufacturer 81
cents and the government SO cents
while with the factory in Texas the en-
tire dollar would remain with us Thu
