A BUMPER COTTON CROP

In theSe days Of curtailmcnt.
Of enforced under production and
of rather Disappointing harvests,
there comes some relief to the
strain of pessimism whenever we
find spot where produ :tion pro-
ceeds at the welcome record"
pace. In the south appears such
CLEAN of light. Never since
cotton was first planted in this
country or since Whitney framed
the first one, have the cotton gins
hummed SO merriIy. Census re-
turns show that 1868, O66 bales
were ginned 20 Sept. 25, which is
1.072.427 bales above the previous
record.
Every cotton state shows a big
increase in ginning returns over
last year. but the greatest gain
is found on the Atlantic sea-
board. South Carolina gained more
than three times the amount for
this period last year Louisian
and Arkansas also show gain of
about l0J per cent hut the yield is
much less than in the first three
states named. Oklahoma was the
greatest disappointment. showing
a gain of only 5000 bales over last
year, and falling short of 1909 by
$4,000 bales. Neither did Texas
do all that was expected, although
an increase over last year OF 400
900 bales is not to be despised.
Only an early frost can blight
the prospects of record crop
variously estimated from 3,O0O,-
600 bales. A large part of the
crop is theady saved fIcm the
danger Of frost. the acreage is the
largest ever planted, condition. is
the best in years. and the weather
is exceptionally favorablc.-New

RO0SEVELTS SHAMEFUL
TREATMENT OF SCHLEY

At the height of his very dis
tinguished career Rear Admiral
Schley, now dead and greatly
honored, was dishonorcd such as
few Americans have been. Those
in military and naval service who
resented the injustice done him
like General Miles and Admiral
Dewey, were also affronted 10
their faces and in many ways made
to feel the insolence Of office.
All of these men were Demo-
Gratis. Ii was their misfortune
that after their brilliant public
service was practically closed
there came to the presidency by
accident colonel of a cowboy
regiment who proceeded to
appropriate to himself and his
associates most of the glorics of a
little war in which the favored
cowboy and their coloacl acturaIly
played an insignificant part. To
make heroes Of Wood and Roose-
welt it became necessary to destroy
or to belittle Schley and Dew, y.
In all the history Of the presi-
dency there is no record of a more
shameful proceedings than that in
which Theodore Roosevelt, to
holster up the false glamour of his
own trilling. performance as a
soldier, sought with the air of his
office to convict Schley of treason
and cowardicc. He did not do
this in manly fashion. He did
it by insinua'ion and innucndo
coupled with charceristic buster.
When Miles and Dewey protested
he hcaped humilition and insul.
upon them.
The impudcnce and vanity and
sclishncss. Of it all were not its
worst features. The worst of it
was the personal mranncss which
took refuge behind a great office
and addressed language to subor-
dinatcs which no truly brave man
would use to one lower in rank
even if guilt were already cstab-
lishcd. The necessary silence of
men traduccd and insuItcd on that
occasion speaks eloqucntly today on
that occasion spt axis cloqucntIy
today and always will so speak in
defense of true worth and in
reprobation of ambition, pride
and arrogance, strutting their
hricf day. st. Joseph Observer.

CLEVELAND AND THE COOK

Pr esident Cleveland went to

The dinner was superb and Presi-

who had been slave in the
Gordon family before the war and
had continued as cook.
"Pd like to shake hands with
that cook" said the president.
General Gordon sent servant

HOG CHOLERA STILL RACES.
X. s. A. G. Plant Is Now Turning Out
More Serum

Manhattan, kan. Nov. 24-The
Kansas Agricultural college now is
able to supply the demand for anti
hog cholera serum. Its plant now is
turning out the serum at the rate of
about $500 doses week or a little
more than 1000 day. This does not
mean that the calls are fewer or less
iusistent The situation is about the
same as it has been for weeks But
the college has increased its capacity
for manufacturing serum.
DR.. F. s. Schoenleber, state veteri-
marian at the agricultural college, still
is urging life immunity for breeding
hogs especially This is done by the
double or Simultaneous method of
vaccinating. The hog is vaceinated
first with serum only. Ten days or
two weeks later it is again vaccinated-
But this time a small quantity of vir-
ulent blood or virus is injected with
the serum. This method is especially
recommended if cholera already is in
$Ae herd or If the animals are fat or
very highly bred. It makes a hog i'm
rnune from cholera for life. There
should be no danger, DR.. Schoenleber

the disease when this method is used.
In several of the largest counties of
Kansas the farmers have formed Sc
