219 ARRESTS WERE
 MADE LAST WEEK Three Separate Records Are
 Made By the Police Department

While there has been no serious dis orders during the past week the po- lice have been kept exceedingly busy with minor offenders and during the week locked 219 prisoners in the city jail. This is a record for the police department. The number of arrests during the same week of April was 149 and the number for the same week of 1910 was slightly less
 A surprising fact was noted by po- lice officials was that 90 of the 216 locked up were white. This is also record for there has not been that number of White prisoners in the city jail during week for years. One fact that caused this was the large number of prohibition violators arrested and almost 30 per cent of the disorderlys Were white.
 A third record was established by the police for the number of arrests made for violating the prohibition law. A total of 47 arrests were made by the officers of the blind tigers squad and others. Practically all of these were white. During the week II gamb- lers were arrested and Is trunks.

1911 COTTON CROP
 AREA INCREASES

Memphis, May 2S.-The first of the sea- sons cotton crop reports from correspond ents of the Commercal-Appeal of date of May 23 and 24 indicate that there is an increase in the area planted to cotton in 1911 over that planted in 1910 of ap- proximately 4.6 per cent. The area in round figures is 350OO,0oo.
 Over S9 per cent of this area the cot ton has come up to stand Planting is practically completed save in western Oklahoma, where, if rain falls soon, oat lands will be put in cotton. This conn., pares with SS per cent to stand on May 25 last year.
 Broadly speaking it may be said that north of a line somewhere between the thirty-third and thrty-fourth parallel the crop is somewhat later than last year, owing to the fact that the ground is too dry for the proper germination of seed. South of that line the rains have been sufficient to start the crop off well, and it is fourishing and early. Altogether conditions are well above an average and perhaps better than last year. as their Is no complaint from any cause save dry weather and irregular stands There is no grass or weeds. The use of fertilizers east of the Mississippi river is the greatest ever known, and there is a tendency to better land preparation and to the employment of improved ma 'cbinery.
 There is return to cotton in the older weevil infested districts of the Mississippi valley, but decrease in the sections new ly invaded.
 Montgomery. May 2S.-Alabama will have a bumper cotton crop this year. unless all present signs fall Reports from practically every county in the state all indicate this
 The acreage will be larger The in crease in generai averaging about per cent.
 Only five counties show a decrease. Most of the reports show that the stand Is good The average Is above S5 per cent and in less than a dozen counties is now below this figure. The crop is all in, planting was completed last week.
 The weather prior to May was favor able to the growing crops.
 A healthy indication is the increased use of commercial fertilizer. Farmers are using the latest and most improved farming implements, and are diversity ing their crops.

who shall be men of conscience, of ge- nius and of courage.
 If education is to be anything, more than an ornament or a polish, its prime function is to create leaders and gen. uine leaders will always find somebody to lead.
 Along with any honorable profession or legitimate trade which you may choose | there Is a call to you to take hand in the local or larger efforts for civic right eousness, in the sociological problems pe- oular to our time and country which | have so struck home to men like George w. Perkins of New York, and w. R. Stirling of Chicago, and John R. Mott, W. J. Schieffin and Anson Phelps-Stokes that they have quit business to do the work of humanity
 Get these thoughts well into your minds, young gentlemen, and you will never have to ask again the questions How can I keep out Of mischief? Why must be pure, honest, truthful and reverent? What is there in the world for me to do? For temptation is mere ly the effort of the devil to supply the thrilled longings of the soul.
 Foundation of Society
 Purity honesty, truth and reverence are not alone commendable because with out them you cannot be decent members of society, but because they are the four foundation corners of the whole social superstructure. Any other foundation is not only precarious, but inherently weak, transient and dangerous. 44
 And the world has in store for you just as much as you will put Into it of enthusiasm, energy, patience and love-"
