CAMPING OUT.

(Bliss Carman, in the Reader.)
Has your dinner lost its SAVIOR,
Has your greeting lost its cheer
Is your daily stunt a burden!
Is your laughter hall a sneer?
There's a medicine to cure you,
There's a way to lift your load.
With a horse and saddle and a mile
of open road
Is your eyeball growing ilious
Is your temper getting short?
Is this life a blind deiusion.
Or a grim, u%nlovely sport?
There's a world of health and beauty,
There's a heap that cannot fah,
In a day behind the burros
On a dusty mountain trail.
Come out, old man, were going
To a land that's free ard large,
Where the rainless skies are resting.
On a snowy mountain marge.
When we camp in Gods own country,
You will find yourself again.
With a fire and a blanket and the
stars upon the plain.

Washington, May 20.-Tlc results
of dollar diplomacy as practiced by
this country are summed up In a re-
port prepared By the State Depart
ment on the development Of Amer
lean commercial interests abroad,
Many millions of dollars worth Of
contracts, it is shown, have been Sc
cured for American concerns, largely
through the aid Of the State Depart
ment. The information was prepared
for the House Committee on Expen-
ditures in the State Department, which
is investigating the department and
ais for the Presidents economy and
efficiency commission. In addition the
department is now pressing to what il
believes will be a successful conclu-
sion an American railway concession IN
Asia Minor involving more than $780,

The convention decided in favor IF
Mr. Parker, adopting the report of
the committee unanimously, and con
.inuinS the committee for further con-
ference with representatives of the ex-
and with instructions that if
reheI Is not given it shall seek a
remedy through legislative channels.
Inc glst Of the committees report
is as follows:
manufacturers associations should
nave no fight against cotton ex-
manages II those exchanges truly re-
fleet conditions of spot cotton. On
the contrary, an exchange, if legiti-
mately MANAGED and regulated, and if
the prices ruling them are truly rep
resentative Of spot values, is and
should be Of decided advantage to
cotton manufacturers as also to pro-
ducers; but it. on the contrary, the
prices reflected on the exchanges are
merely the result Of speculation for
or against the value of the
commodity or if those prices are only
reflective Of the speculative actions Of
one lemen as against another ele-
ment then the exchange becomes a
serious disadvantage to the manufac-
turers and to producers, and ceases to
be a legitimate body.

United States are the New Orleans
and New York cotton exchanges. I'm
der the rules of the New Orleans ex-
change the prices ruling there are in
much closer relation to the prices Of
spot cotton than as a rule are the
prices Of contracts on the New York
cotton exchange.
BY reason of the rules Of the
New York cotton exchange it is sell
dom hat the prices of contracts on
that exchange are on a parity with
spot cotton. or truly represent the
prices Of spot cotton in the commu-
nifty of production, plus the carrying
charges to market.
A times the prices of contracts are
much above the prices of spot cotton.
At other times they are much below.
Your committee is forced to con-
clude that a majority Of the members
of the New York Cotton Exchange are
more impressed with the view that it
is to their interest to cater to specula-
tors than to make Of their body a legi-
innate exchange, reflective Of the true
value Of the commodity in which they
deal.
Your committee recommends h a

which Continues Work Today.
Richmond. Va, May 18.-With an
,~ttnndance Of about eight hundred

ion Of the American Cotton Manu-
'actnrers' Association met in the au-
ditorium Of the Jefferson Hotel this
morning. They were welcomed in be-
half Of the city by Mayor D. c. Rich
ards0n. The mayor commented upon
the fact that the convention came to
Richmond three years ago as Stfang-
ers. two years ago as acquaintance,
and today as friends, n as such he
welcomed them. He also took cogni-
zance Of the fact that the members of
this association are doing perhaps
iIiOle q Niy III lSSco
for the upbuilding of the South.
The response was made by James p.
Cossett, of WILLIAMSON, S. c..
President ID. Y. Cooper, Of Hender-
son, \. c., presided.

lin w. Hobbs, president of the Ma
tional Association Of Cotton Manufac-
turers, and added a pleasing feature
to the morning program, Secretary
{. B. Bryant and the speakers OF the

with the president.
At the afternoon session the feature
was the address by Arthur r. Marsh,
president Of the New York Cotton Elk
change, on the subject: The New
York Cotton Exchange" he was fol-
lowed by Lewis R. w. Parker, Of
~GreenVjlle, S. c., who reported for the

Gilreath, of Greenville, S.. c., spoke
on Gin Compression" J.. M. Smith.
Of Cleveland, Ohio, made a very il
Eliminating address on Proper Illu-
minatiOn of Mills" The committee
on publicity also reported. The en-
Iargement of sales markets took up
much time Of the convention, many
members believing that the whole
problem can be solved by getting bet
ter hold on foreign markets and m
proVement Of home selling conditions.
The possibility Of tariff changes and
the effect of the cotton industry is
also d topic Of general discussion with
the demand for enlarged shipping ia
cllltles under the American flag, SO
mat English mills may not buy
southern cotton, carry it abroad,
make it up and ship it back to this
country to undercut American-n1ade
goods, The speech Of Mr.. Marsh CEN
tered around these problems of trade.
Tonight at $50 o'clock a reception
was rendered by the Richmond Cham
Der OF Commerce to the visitors in the
Jefferson Hotel. There were music,

Because of this fact more students
from each school will be allowed
to take part during the year, as it
is probable that no school would en-

of the season. 1t also provides less
work for the members of any team
as the number of debates in which
they participate is left entirely with
them.

Radical Change Made by the High
school Debating League OF
Whitman County.

The directors of the high school
debating league of Whitman county,
at the county teachers institute at
Colfax this week made radical
change in the manner in which the
county debates are to be conducted
during the present term. Hereafter
the debates will be conducted solely
for the practice gained by the parti-
cipants and no trophy or prize will
be awarded the winning team. There
will be no judges for any debate
and consequently no decision as to
the merits of the speeches will be
made, the Judging being left to the
audience.
This plan will allow each high
school to take part in any number
of debates instead of compelling each
team to discontinue debating after
