Washington.-The area of the cot
ton crop planted this year, 1911, in the
United States, including that already
planted and expected to be planted,
is about 104.7 per cent. of the area
planted last year, equivalent to about
3o,004,OOO acres, as compared with
S3.418,000 acres, an increase of about
1,586,OOO acres, or At per cent, ac-
cording to a report issued by the de-
partment of agriculture.
The condition of the growing crop
on May rs was 87.8 per cent. of a
normal condition, as compared with
8O.2 per cent. at the corresponding
date In 1910 and 800 per cent, the
average condition for the past ten
years on May Is.
Considered by states, the crop is
fairly even in condition, except in
South Carolina, where continued
drouth reduced percentage condition

bright where the condition is 1913. Dry
weather has been the chief cause of
complaint, checking termination of the
late planting. Owing chiefly to this
cause, the crop in many sections is
late, while in localities where cotton
got a good start, it is early. For this
reason the crop is very irregular and

Mr.. Wickersham was asked why the

There has been an unwillingness

DISREGARD BRYAN,s VIEWS

Washington.-After a day of politi-
cal conferences, Gov Woodrow Will
son of New Jersey left Washington to
resume his gubernatorial duties at
Trenton, following tour of the West
and South.
His visitors were from all sections
of the country, including senators,
representatives and private citizens.
Senators MARITIME of New Jersey and
Gore of Oklahoma were among the
first callers on the prospective presi-
Dental candidate.
All the conferences we're open. To
the members of the house particular
ly Governor Wilson expressed repeat
ed congratulations. He said that the
vigor with which the house had taken
hold of it's work had inspired the coun-
try with renewed confidence in-the
Democratic party. The action of the
caucus of Democratic representatives
in voting for a reduction of the tariff
on wool to 20 per cent ad valorem re-
ceived his hearty commendation, de-
spite the fact that William J. Bryan
had warned the Democrats against
any other course than taking all the
duty off.
What the governor had. to say in
regard to the Democratic caucus was
summarized in these words:
sThe resolution passed by the eau
Gus is a very frank statement and
justifies itself by showing that the
Democratic party is trying to do the
best that is possible and practicable
in the circumstances. mean that
when we are revising a system, such
as the tariff as whole, we can make
compensations of revenue along the
whole line. But in revising it schedule
by schedule, we cannot make these
compensations, except in the individ-
ual schedules. That is one of the
penalties of the step by step process.
It does not seem to me that there is
! any abandonment of principle in the
action taken. 1t looks to me as though
the Democratic principles had been

raw wool, but every Democratic plat.

He reiterated his belief in the pro.
gressive movement as. maugurated iL

there, he declared, had proven very
satisfactory. Along this line, he spoke
of the progressive Republicans.
| II do not see any difference be.
tween the Democrats and what we call

'"except possibly on the tariff"
He reiterated his approval of the
Canadian reciprocity agreement.

TOBACCO TRUST IS ILLEGAL
SUPREME COURT OUTLAWS THE
COMBINE AND 1T SUBSIDIARY
CONCERNS.
Tobacco Trust Is Ordered to Comply
with the Law Within Eight
Months.

Washington-The government won
a sweeping victory over the so-called
tobacco trust when the Supreme
court of the United States held the
American Tobacco company and its
allied corporations to be operating in
violating of the Sherman antitrust
law.
By directing that the combination
be forbidden the privilege of inter-
state commerce or be placed in the
hands of receiver unless it disinte-
CRATES in harmony with the law with
in six, or at the least eight months,
the court is regarded to have dealt
with the tobacco corporations more
drastically than with the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey, whose disso-
luton was ordered two weeks ago.
Both the first and second sections
| of the Sherman antitrust law have
been violated by the so-called tobacco
trust, according to the court Not only
has it restrained wrongfully and un.
lawfully interstate commerce in
the eyes of the court, but it has at.
tempted to monopolize the tobacco
business to the injury of the public
and of it's competitors.
While the decree was regarded as
unusually severe, at the same time
there was touch of leniency in not
making the combination an outlaw
now

bination are to be given an opportuni

ed States circuit court for the south

about ''a new condition which shall
be honestly in harmony with and moi
repugnant to the law"
The opinion of the court was an
nounced by Chief Justice White, who
also delivered the opinion ofthe court
in the Standard Oil case. The entire
court agreed that the tobacco cOmbi
nation violated the Sherman antitrust
law, but Associate Justice Harlan dis
sented from the repeated interpreta
ton of the Sherman antitrust law s(
as to call for the application of the
ssrule of reason in determining Wha
restraints of trade were forbidden

Democrats Adopt Wool Bill.

Washington.-The proposed Demo
cratic revision of the wool tariff, the
Underwood bill, was unanimously ap-
proved by full Democratic caucus
after it had been made public by the

Southern Buckwheat Cakes.-Four

half a compressed yeast cake dis.
teaspoonful of salt and one Tablespoons
full of molasses. Mix with enough
warm water to make thin batter and

For breakfast fruit, grape fruit is
one that is both appetizing and me
dicinal; fresh apple or one baked
and served with cream is another good
dish. Stewed prunes, or a few dates
steamed with the oatmeal are another
favorite combination.

Omelets Galore.
ITO make an omelet, you must frst
break eggs"
An omelet that is tender, puffy ana
we'll seasoned and cooked Is not an
easy thing to prepare. The cook VINO
Is able by practice and skill to pro-
duce the edible variety is certainly
worthy of praise.
The French cook says that no liquid
should be added to the omelet; In
America some add milk. others water.
1t is generally accepted that water Is
better than milk, as it makes more
tender omelet. Use as many table
spoonfuls of water as eggs, separating
the yolks from the whites and beating
the yolks until thick and lemon-col-
ored. Another secret of a tender ONE
let is in the whites of the eggs. II
they are beaten until dry, the omelet
will not be as tender. Stop beating
when the egg stands up well.
A steel frying pan is best In which
to cook the omelet. See that the pan
is perfectly smooth, as little rough
ness will often catch and spoil an ONE
let. A good plan is to scour out the
pan with salt before using.
Have the pan smoking hot and add
tablespoonful of butter, greasing the
sides Of the pan WELL Combine the
whites and yolks with seasoning and
pour into the pan. Slide spatula
around under the edge as 1t is cook
ing, so that the center will have a
chance to cook When well cooked
on the bottom, set moment In the
oven to cook on top. then fold and
serve.
Chopped chives and parsley are
added to omelets for flavor.
A sweet omelet is favorite with
many for luncheon. Just before pour
ing the omelet into the pan, put q
handful of blanched almonds into the
pan, and pour over the egg, cook care
fully not to scorch the nuts. Set In
the oven as. usual. fold on the plat
ter and pour over the omelet hall
cup of hot maple sirup
Tomato may be spread over the
omelet just before folding, or little
apple jelly or any sweet jelly or pre-
serves, too small In amount to use
otherwise. In fact, almost anything
eatable may be used In, on or around
an omelet.
