DEF OhE AMI Ar ! En- TIE BALL.
His note:
To grace the debut ball tonight
I'm sending you some roses bright,
AS fair as they may your future be,
And yet this date is the doom of me-
Because shant have the ghost of a
chance
Besides the fellows you'll meet at the
dance,
And so I'm saying Goodbye, little
girl"
you'll be a queen in the social whirl.)
Her answer:
Thanks for the roses; they were dear,
Although your note was very queer.
Twas wost unkind to write so blue
When girl was needing courage, too.
Perhaps you've forgotten the maxim
old,
Conceived in days when knights were
bold,
That: None but the brave deserve
the fair"
So enter the ranks if you really care.
Come! give the others a splendid
shove,
Since competitions the spice of love.
my heart hasn't changed position at
all,
And yet it's the evening after the
ball.)

Washington. Sept. s-The ginning Of cot
ton of the growth of 1911 was carried on
more actively throughout the cotton belt
up 10 September this year than in any
similar period in the history OF the indus
try. at least so far as accurate ginning
records have been kept. This Is shown by
the first ginning report of the season. COM
piled by the Census Bureau. \ total Of
- ,il5 bales had been ginned up TO a week
ago. This is greater by almost 100000 bales
than the previous record. made In 1905.
The continued hot and dry weather in
greater portion Of the belt especially in
Texas was chiefly responsible for the in
crease. These conditions meant the early
maturing Of the crop, but this alone is not
considered the cause Of the greater gin
ming. Farmers have been more active in
getting their crop 10 the ginneries, and IT
is said in some counties of Texas. where
tire bulk OF the increased ginning was re-
ported. practically the entire crop has al
ready been ginned.
The figures this year compare with 353.oll
bales of the growth OF 1910 ginned TO Sep
TENDER I. 1910; 3Ss.9i2 bales for 1909 and
l02 229 bales for 1905. Round bales included
this year are 1894. compared with 1926 for
