STUDY OF COTTON TRADE.
Consumption Has Increased IS Per
Cent In Five Years.

In the Sunday issue of the New Or
leans Times-Democrat, Walter Parker
cotton editor, after a brief review OF
the past week in the cotton market
sums up the present situation as fol-
lows:
In so far as price Is concerned, the
cotton market seems to be In a state
of euuipose. Consumers willingly pay
current values for supplies. Spot own
ers as a rule willingly accept full cur
rent values for their holdings. The re-
suit Is rapid transfer Of the remnant
into trade hands. Meanwhile, the
speculative rings. temporarily at least,
have lost the power Of leadership, and
trail along behind the spot markets.
Such a state Of affairs Is more than
apt to prove mislea ding. Quite natural
ly, surface students among the con-
suming element will think that fear OF
an ample supply holds the bull spec
ulator In restraint. On the other hand.
the spot owner, feeling that consumers
stand ready to absorb the entire rem
nant at full prices. may over-estimate
the ability Of the mills to chew up high
priced cotton. Therefore, since the
cotton trade in general Is being neith-
er encouraged nor handicapped by
speculation, the broader questions of
supply and consumption must be dealt
with direct, as the trader must draw
his own conclusions with respect to
the future.
Allowing for every contingency
poor trade, want of confidence, pan
icky conditions, which have all had
their swing during the two past five
year periods-the fact Is borne out by
the actual figures that every bale of
cotton produced in the southern states
has been wanted and more, too. The
limit of consumption has been the linn
1t of production.
Here are the figures since 1SS9-19OO
as compiled from Mr.. Hester's state
ments Cin thousand of bales:)

CHAPTER III.

CHAPTER Ill.
Warden Handler, regretting that he
had given his visitors an indication
that he believed he had recognized
Rose Lanes deliverer, answered the
questions of the girl and the lieuten-
ant governor by stating: "The man Is
as bad as the burglar he threw out Of
the car window-even worse. He's in
this prison at this moment, firmly be-
lieve, according to the description
we've just heard"
ooh. impossihle!" exclaimed Miss
Lane. her face coloring. 'He was a
gentleman. a thorough gentleman. and
too young to he n hardened criminal"
Her face became shadowed with con-
Germ.
The warden was vastly amused at
this remark. which the young girl rem
1ered with the fnality of unquestioned
authority.
"Too young!" he laughed age

way YOU mean. It's some of these
young fellows that will take a chance
at anything. You see, they're ambi-
tious. They're anxious to rise in theil
business"
The warden paused and glanced from
the girl to the observing lieutenant
governor. then to the two members Of
the Gate of Hope. He commented on
the fact that his visitors had dis
agreed with him on various points and
informed them that he had determined
to offer them a few object lessons,

Statute Of Limitations.-A we'll
known Kansas banker told story the
other day about the statute of limita-
tiOns. There is a smile in 1t, plus some
good philosophy.
One day an old southerner walked
into this bankers office. The south
erner was a typical gentleman OF the
old school, suaVe, courteous to the
point of punctiliOusness and honorable
to a degree Of martyrdom.
What can l do for you?" asked the
banker.
Well" replied the southerner, about
thirty-five years ago | loaned man
down south some money-not very
big sum. l told him that whenever
should need it l would let him know
and he could pay me the money. l
need some money now, 80 l shall let
him know and / would like to have you
transact the business for me-
My good friend" replied the bank
er, you have no claim on that money.
You can't hold that man to that loan.
You say it has been thirty-fve years
since you loaned it to him? The stat
ute of limitations has run against that
loan years and years ago"
Sir" replied the southerner the
man to whom l loaned that money is
a gentleman. The statute of limita-
tions never runs against a gentleman"
So the banker sent for the money.
And within a reasonable time thereaf-
ter the money came. There was a
courtly gentleman at the other end OF
the transaction also.-Kansas City
Journal.

"THREE.NoTcH" ROADS.
Origin of Some Common Designations
As to Highways.

In certain Of our states, notably IN
Missouri, there are to be found high
ways bearing the curious designation,
three notch" roads. Such road is
a public highway, as distinguished
from a road leading to saw mill,
church, a school house or back In the
woods to a farm house. A three
notch" road is the kind that is sure to
go somewhere" Should one travel
far enough along 1t he will reach
town in due time.
Back of this odd designation is an
interesting story. 1t appears that
George ILL., decreed that all English
public roads should be marked with his
name. In England and his colonies
public roads have so long been known
as the kings highway that no one can
positively state when the custom orig
mated. When George III. desired his
name to he posted at convenient points
on the highway In America, the re-
fractory subjects of his majesty here
adopted the expedient of cutting three
notches on trees, in which way avoid
ing specific reference to King George.
After the Revolution, Of course, the
name was universally omitted, but the
three notches proved useful as a means
of making public roads. Virginia COL
onsts, it is said, carried this system to
Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana, and
their children carried 1t on to Mis-
souri,.
Originally Missouri had no counties.
Later, when these came, the state de-
cided that were the task left to the
counties themselves there would be
little road building. So the state con-
structed the roads and marked them
with three notches. Afterward, when
the counties undertook the marking OF
roads they were designated in the tim
ber country with two notches.
Prior to and during the civil war
this distinction was preserved and
"three-notch roads were always
through roads, leading from one town
of some Importance to another. TWO
notch roads were less important high
ways. and roads not notched at al!
were either railroads or plank roads.
A rail- road was a road leading to
some camp where men were splitting
rails while a plank road led to a saw
mill.-Harper's.

At what price would consumption be
permanently checked? 1t is easy to
judge how large number of spindles
may be put out of joint by temporary
important differences between values
of raw and manufactured materials,
but the story above presented indicates
that such occurrences have not thus
far affected the regular trend of events.
What then is the limit Of consump-
ton? Up to this time the mills of the
world have used up all they could get.
1t has been asserted that were all the
spindles in existence worked to full
time they might use up 100000 to
l6, 900, 900 bales, and yet the number of
spindles is increasing from year to
year.
It is clear that there must be more
general resort to finer numbers of
yarns which require less cotton to the
spindle, or the same cry of idle spin
dies must go on indefinitely. If not,
the supply must be increased, which
can only be accomplished through the
inducement of price. This, then, is
the basis for the argument that higher
prices for cotton have come to stay.
The question of future supply is en-
shrouded in more or less doubt and
uncertainty. The boil weevil must be

COFFEE.
Use of Wide World Beverage DiscoV-
cred BY Accident.

The use of coffee as a beverage Is
traced to the Persians; it came into
great repute in Arabia Felix about
1850 and passed thence into Egypt
and Syria, and in 1911 to Constantine
pie. 1t was conveyed from Mocha, in
Arabia, to Holland in 1916, and was
first brought to England by Nathaniel
Canopus. a Cretan, in 1850. The first
coffee house in England was kept by
a man named Jacobs in oxford, in
by Greek in George Yard. Lombard
street, in 1862. Popes we'll known
lines in THE Rape of the Lock-" show
that it was familarly known in his
time:

century. it is related, poor Arab was

self weak and weary, he stopped near
grove. For fuel wherewith to cook
his rice, he cut down tree that hap
pened to be covered with dried berries.
His meal being cooked and eaten, the
traveller discovered that these half
burnt berries were fragrant. He col
lected a number of them, and, on
crushing them with stone, found that
the aroma was increased to a great eX-
tent While wondering at this, he ac-
cidentally let the substance fall into q

trid water was purified. He brought 1t
to his lips; it was fresh and agreeable;
and after a short rest the traveller so
far recovered his strength and energy
as to be able to resume his journey.
The lucky Arab gathered as many
berries as he could and having arriv-
ed at Alden, informed the multi of his
discovery. That worthy was an in
veterate opium smoker, who had been
suffering for years from the influence
of the poisonous drug. He tried an in
fusion of the roasted berries, and was
so delighted at the recovery of his for
mer vigor that in gratitude to the tree
he called it camuha, which arabic
signifies force"

it was considered an intoxicating IL
quor, and hence to be classed among
the beverages prohibited by the Koran.
Still its use was continued, however,
and though it took long time for its
influence to pass beyond the confines
Of Arabia, it finally came into favor at
Constantinople, where coffee houses
were opened in the sixteenth century.
Until 1890 the only source of the
worlds coffee supply was Arabia; but
in that year, Governor General Van
Hoorne of the Dutch East India COM
pany received a few coffee seeds from
traders who piled between the Arabian
Gulf and Java. These seeds were
planted, and grew so we'll that'the In
dustry of coffee growing in Java re-
ceived a tremendous impetus. One of
the plants first grown there was sent
to the governor of the Dutch East In
dia company. 1t was planted In Hol-
land, and seeds from 1t were sent to
the West Indies, and then to other
parts of the world.-Harper's Weekly,

reckoned with. The little varmint con-
tinues his march, holding what he has
gained, and conquering fresh fields as
the seasons go on. That he ir, turn
will be eventually exterminated is GER
tain, but when? The damage the boil
weevil has done, If reckoned by num-
bers of bales, Is enormous. Texas alone
should by this time have been turning
out an average 100000 bale crop,
Louisiana has been almost wiped off
the map as a cotton producing state,
Mississippi has ceased to be counted as
a banner state, and there Is no telling
what Is In store from this source. The
visitation has not, however, been with
out its advantages. The stricken Sec
tions have found that they could raise
other things besides cotton, and right
here the question arises whether or
not 1t pays to raise all cotton and pur-
chase the hog and hominy?
The question has been put to US: rs
the southern country able to grow an
average 100000 bale cotton crop or
more without paying out most Of the
proceeds for the necessarles Of life? II
1t cannot, would not such crops prove
a colossal mistaken"
OF course, this has been asked from
a southern standpoint. That the world
will need 100000 or more in the near
future, If it does not need it right now,
is undoubted. During the last five
year period the increase in consump-
tion was Is $40 per cent. The same
ratio of average yearly gain for the
coming five years would mean an aver
age of fully fourteen and a quarter
millions. Will the supply be equal to
such a demand?
The average increase in production
during the last five-year period was
9 61-1OO per cent, which If continued
for the next five years, would mean an
average production per year for the
next five years of 13,325,000 bales.
There may be years between now and
the end Of 1855 of phenomenal
growth (boll weevil permitting) the
same as we have had in the two past
five-year periods, when nature will do
her best, and there may be had, not to
say disastrous years, but it takes the
whole to serve as a basis for an aver
age.
It Is not intended to venture a pre-
diction as to what the future may have
in store. The facts of themselves are
not only intensely interesting, but they
furnish food for serious reflection.

BATTLE WITH ANTS.
Terrible African Pest That Kills All In
Its Path.

Its Path.
The driver ants are a terrible pest In
West Africa. Crawling over the ground
in countless thousands, invincible to
anything but a wall of fire, they bring
quick death to every live thing un-
fortunate enough to be caught in their
path, and leave behind them the skele-
tons of lizards, rats, sheep, cattle, and
even human beings. In his book enti-
tied 1--WE Two in West Africa" Maj. F.
G. Guggisberg recounts the terrors OF
one night when the pests invaded his
house.
| heard voices calling, Get up-the
ants are on u.s." Sitting bolt upright,
I found the room apparently in dark
ness. In reality, the lantern on the
floor at the foot of the bed was still
burning, but as I threw my hand out
and felt the heavy weight Of the mos
quito net, I suddenly realized that 1t
was coated with ants so thickly that 1t
kept the light out as effectively as a
velvet curtain.
Two bounds took me out of that
mosquito-net and the hut, but it was
an uncanny feeling when my feet
crunched through the living carpet OF
ants. Hitting the side of the doorway
in my hasty exit, I brought down a
shower of the little pests on my head
and shoulders, from rafter, wall and
roof, and then the fun began.
Some people say that the ant buries
his head in you and leaves 1t there,
others that he drives some other part
of his body into you. / didn't worry
about examining which theory was
correct-it did not affect the torture
Of the result. For the next ten min
utes I was standing in a state Of ma
ture in the open, the rain beating
down, and the boys, hastily reused,
picking ants off my body by the light
of torches.
I was so engrossed in this new sport
that l quite forgot abol Lees; then
suddenly realized tha he was not

into that internal place and hauling
him out. He was a pitiable sight in

it, his body black with them.
To pick them off was too slow job.
seized a tin of kerosene oil and pour
ed it over him, sweeping the enemy off
in thousands. One of my hammock
boys rushed up with a flaming torch,
meaning, in the kindness Of his heart,
to give master more light. l yelled to
him to keep away, and he, thinking he
was being urged on, dashed towards us
quicker than ever. Luckily, Lees COOK
stopped him in time, and tragedy was
averted.
We spent the remainder of the night
under a tree In spite of the discom-
fort of it all-the persistent rain, the
mist, the smarting pain of the ant
bites-we could not help laughing at
the idea of our helplessness against the
little brutes that were occupying our
comfortable hut. However, the only
thing to do was to wait patiently till
they cleared out.
