and the flowing beard and n1itten

The man with motheaten coonskin
cap pulled tightly down on his
head?
He used to sit round the old grocery
store and tell OF the days gone by,
An oracle he, of the rarest sort, which
nobody could deny.
oh what has become Of the ancient
sage who swore by the almanac,
Who used to have red flannel under
wear and plasters upon his back?
He wrapped himself tightly in COM
forters whenever he stirred out
side
And passed out the weather predic-
tons which never were once de-
cried.
He chewed slippery elm for pastime
and dotted on good yarb tea,
The old fashioned remedies he pre-
scribed, for an old-fashioned man
was he.
The old fashioned man is around here
still, but he doesn't look quite the
same,
He's spruced up a bit as the years
have passed and he's in on the
progress game.
His whiskers are off and his mustache
trimmed and his clothing is up TO
date.
For the old farm has paid and the
mortgage is now completely wiped
off the slate.
The sun has been shining III recent
years and he has been making hay.
The old fashioned man OF the years
gone by is the fashioned
man today.

NO CROP ALARM.

The New York Journal Of Commerce
Is optimistic in the following:
AS the season mas progressed the
crops have not kept the promises they
made in the spring. But those promises
were phenomenal and the comparisons
made later are with those early indi-
cations OF unprecedented crops or with
two or three recent crops, notably the
corn crop of last year, which surpassed
all records. The September showing OF
the crops Is not so bad as might be
imagined, and II is just as well to cheer
up our spirits little as we gaze upon
the latest estimates by recalling the
fact that last year several Of the har-
vests ran a good deal above the
amounts calculated from the Septem-
Der indications.
We certainly have a large crop of
winter wheat The spring wheat has
suffered heavily from the summers
weather, and the condition figures in
dicate a moderate shrinkage during
August But If we win look at last
years figures we shall note that the
spring wheat harvest ran about 10 per
cent above the September estimates. 1t
that should be repeated this year we
shall harvester rather we have har%
vested--over 20,o00,e0o bushels more
spring wheat than the September crop
reports Indicates
Corn lost heavily in July, but the
condition improved substantially dur-
ing August, and If frost should be de-
layed 1t may reasonably be presumed

maturity. The hot dry weather OF
July stunted the corn, but he improve
ment In August, quantitatively ex-
pressed as 100000 bushels, shows
that the rain came while the plant still
had vitality and recuperative power,
and a substantial increase in the crop,
Furthermore, and this is particularly
worth noticing as corn was on the up
grade during August, the crop last
wear was 49,, 100000 bushels bigger
than the September condition figures
| indicated.
Oats improved during August so that
the September estimate was perceptibly
/ better than the August estimate, and
| besides that, the crop last year was
/ II 600, 600 bushels better than the Sep
TENDER estimate. There is q good dea
less occasion for alarm about the crops
than has been represented in some
1 quarters.

Ned Crane Killed During Practice Test
Accident.

Kansas City, Mo.-Ned Crane, driving
a Buick racing car in a practice test at
Elm Ridge track late Friday afternoon
preparatory to an attempt to be made
Saturday to establish new records, was
instantly killed when his machine threw
two tires and turned over. An employee
of the Buick factory riding with Crane
was dangerously injured.
The car Crane was driving, which was
of ninety-horse power, was making a fast
turn when the accident occurred. The
front tire burst and the machine turned
over three times.
Crane was thrown with great force on
the hard dirt track. When he was picked
up his head was doubled under his chest,
Crane was the holder of five interna'
tional motor racing-car records. In 1916
he established a worlds record for Il mile

THREATEN TO SEND
TROOPS into MEXICO
LIVES OF AMERICANS MUST BE
PROTECTED.
President Has His Warning Delivered
Through the State and Wal De-
partments.

Observation-Disclosures Taft is deter
mined that battles between Mexican fed
erals and insurrectos shall not be fought
on American soil. He is equally deter
mined that the lives Of the American
non-combatants shall not be endangered
by the forces of President Diaz and
those Of Gen. Madero. Future combats
between rebels and the forces Of the
Mexican government must not be fought
so close to the American line as to put
in jeopardy the lives and property OF
Americans.
A force of thirty men and a Maxim
gun from the British man-of-war Shear
water were landed at San Quentin,
Mexico, to protect that town against a
threatened attack of insurgents. The
revolutionary movement, however, did
not nnterialize and the Britishers and
the gun were withdrawn. This is the first
actual landing of foreign forces on Mex
lean soil in connection with the present
revolution.
W men al udHSel w poH IuChliH llNAl
the insurgents had passed the Shear
water sailed for Ensenada. San Quentin
is a port of Lower California about 125
miles south of Ensenada.
Through the state department the
president notified the Mexican govern
ment it must see to it in the future that
no such unfortunate incident as that OF
Thursday at Aqua Prieta, near Douglas,
Ariz,, when two Americans were killed
and eleven wounded, be allowed to occur,
Through the war department and
through the department of justice the
president sent the same sort of warning
to the leader of the insurrectos at Aqua
Prieta. The view was expressed at the
White House that these warnings will
be obeyed to the letter and that no mor1
battles will be fought in the vicinity OF
the boundary.

Peace Negotiations Between Insurrec-

Are IN Progress.

Neutrality-suspicious. negotiations be-
tween the Mexican insurrectos and the
Diaz government are in progress.
Neither the embassy staff here nor D..
Vasquez Gomez, the insurrecto diplo-
matte agent, will admit it, but it is
known that two prominent McXieans
in Washington have been in confer
ence with both in the interest Of peace.
DR.. Gomez has issued a statement to
the effect that he is awaiting a reply
to the message OF Madero asking upon
what terms the rebels will accept peace.
The two Mexicans arrived in Wash
ington about a week ago and imme-
diately sought DR.. Gomez. They are
men OF wealth and position in Mexico
City and have been in close official in
timacy with members of the Diaz cabi-
net which recently resigned.
Brought by the battle Of Aqua Prieta
to a full realization Of the danger to
which American settlements along the
southern frontier are exposed by the
civil strife of Mexico, President Taft
has moved swiftly and vigorously along
all the lines of %precaution to prevent
any repetition OF the Douglas, Ariz.i
episode.
With various rumors floating into
Washington of the imminence of an
other conflict at Aqua Prieta the presi
dent ordered the entire regiment of the
Sixth cavalry from Des Moines, Ia, tc
Arizona to reinforce the posts there

COFFEE CONGESTION
Causes a Variety Of Ais.

A happy old lady in Wisconsin
says:
During the time l was a coffee
dr1nker l was subject to sick head
aches, sometimes lasting 2 or 3 days,
totally uniting me for anything.
To this affection was added, some
years ago, a trouble with my heart
that vas very painful, accompanied
by a smothering sensation and faint
ness.
Dyspepsia, also, came to make life
harder to bear. l took all sorts of pat
ent medicines but none Of them helped
me for any length Of time.
THE doctors frequently told me
that coffee was not good for me; but
without coffee l felt as if had no
breakfast. l finally decided about 2
years ago to abandon the use of COT
fee entirely, and as l had read a great
deal about Postum I concluded to try
that for a breakfast beverage.
Il liked the taste Of it and was par
ticularly pleased to notice that it did
not come up a. coffee used to. The
bad spells with my heart grew less
and less frequent, and finally ceased
altogether, and l have not had an at
tack Of sick headache for more than a
year, My digestion is good, too, and

healthy woman. l know my wonder

In view of the general carelessness
about fire, 1t is mot surprising that
the annual fire loss of the country Is
SO great. On the contrary, it is more
remarkable that the loss Is not even
greater. Very few smokers are care
full, the carelessness about matches
includes every age, sex and condition,
and yet many losses both Of property
and life may be traced to these two
causes. People take risks with fire
merely to ave a little trouble or con.
venience, which risks are simply as
founding to sober second thought, and
the restriction of neither law nor Gus
tom are at all adequate when the
danger involved is considered. It is
a matter in which the general public
need almost elementary education.

H HOG SERENE.

Consider for a moment the hog.
The hog is natures sedatiye. He is
the antithesis of excitement and the
anesthetlc Of worry. When frayed
nerves cry out in protest. and the
tired brain aches with a surfeit OF
care or pleasure, go then to the
humble pig sty and learn a lesson
of repose. What does the farmer do
when the hired nan gives notice, or
grasshoppers threaten to take the
upper eighty? He heads for the hog
lot; and, with his elbows OF the top
rail and one foot in an Intermediate
crack. he watches the swine at their
evening meal till his soul finds peace,
says the Kansas City Star. AS a
preventive of nervous prostration, a
sanitarium. compared to a hog, IS a
riot and the seashore is an insurrec'
ton. His peaceful grunt Is a lullaby
to tortured ears, and his placid OBJ
livion Of the flight of time is a re-
Duke to the strenuous. AS he pokes
his nose into the moist earth-neyer
furiously, but with calm and quiet
and upturns the s%ucculent roots that
he may add weight to his hams and
breadth to his spare ribs, to the ulti-
mate profit of the butcher, we are re-
minded of the futility of crying out
against the rate for which we are be-
ing fattened and taught to bow the
head in humility. Reach over the
top of the fence and scratch his brist-
ly back with a raspy cob and his legs
unable to support his excess burden
Of pleasure, crumble beneath him, and
he sinks to sleep, singing a song OF
contentment that rumbles forth from
cavernous depths, His humble limi'
tations have not made the hog a pes
s.mist. On the contrary, he is your
true optimist.

MILLS
SHOW LOSSES
CURTAILMENT CONTINUES AND
BUYING is DESULTORY.
President Hobbs Declares That Upor
Present Acreage the Production
Could Be Doubled.

Boston, Mass.-"Misery likes com.
pany," said President Franklin w.
Hobbs in his address to the National AS
ISOLATION Of Cotton Manufacturers in
this city in referring to the fact that
the Lancashire cotton mills had been
having hard shedding" as well as those
in the United States.
In his annual address President Hobbs
said:
Last September | remarked that the
cotton manufacturing industry had been
in troublous times since we met in
April last, and | regret to be compelled
to state that the troublous times have
ben continued. The cotton crop has been
a disappointment, curtailment has con
tinued and a most unsatisfactory condi
ton has resulted. Buying is on hand-to.
mouth basis.
Added to perplexing business condi
tons has been the upset political condi'
ton and the uncertainty due to expected
decisions of the supreme court, which
will have far reaching effects. With
these two factors removed, we shall
know where we stand and be prepared to
go forward.
"It may interest you to know that for
the year ending Nov. 30, 1910, seventy
three concerns in Lancashire, with a
! total paid-up capital stock of $12, 900, 00O
and an added loan capital of $5,400,000
showed a loss after paying interest on
loans and allowing for depreciation
These figures are the worst for twenty.
five years.
at is undoubtedly true that the con
sumption of cotton is steadily increas
ing each year, and it seems equally true
that this increase in consumption will
continue.
with increases of machinery which
have been made it is evident hat the
consumption of the mills of the world
on full time would be not less thar
twenty million bales.
"The query thus arises: Where viii
the additional amount of cotton needed
for the world and its increasing popula
ton come from?
81 think I am not too optimistic tt
believe that from the present acreag,
the American production could b,
doubled if proper methods were used
and it is along such lines that on
friends in the South must work to sc
sure the best results for themselves an
the spinners."

The Chinese, it seems, are not 80
prompt in cutting off their queues as
might have been expected from the
immense righteousness with which
their queue-cutting program was her

Herald says that 80 far there are
only a thousand queues the less in

less in Shanghai" Another observer
thinks the last state Of the Celestial

off short but only manned beyond
recognition, is worse than the first.
In every part Of the world habit has
