A VERY FOOLISH THING.

What is the most foolish thing you
ever heard OF person, or lot or
people, doing? Who did 1t? And
why was it done?
There are so many foolish things
done every day all around us. and
we all do so very many foolish things
ourselves. that the above questions
are hard to answer.
Nevertheless, taking into consider
alton all the foolish things that are
ish, to our way OF thinking, as the
thing that is being done five or six
times day in every city, town, viii
lagc and hamlet in the South where
a bale Of cotton is bought.
Our farmers in the early spring
plow their fields, plant cotton seed,
fcrtilize and cultivate the crop,
gather it, take it to the gin. and then
offer ii for sale. How?
Has he farmer figured his cost Of
production and added his per cent of
profit? Possibly he has; but the
probability is that he has ne> 'ven
the matter a thought. And , ght
there is where. it seems to us. the
most foolish thing in the world comes
into play.
The man who has produced the
stuff turns to the buyc? and asks him,
''What is my cotton worth?" And
then, to cap the climax, the buyer
will Probably tell the producer that,
half hour ago, it was worth 10 X
cents pound. "but," he may add, Il
don't know what it is worth Just at
this time. I'll hear from New
York again in few Minutes"

People Of Texas are Started
Guessing on Rain
Business
Every Mobilization Of Troops
Followed by Heavy
Rains
No Matter What the Reason
is Texas is Not Kicking
Any.

San Antonio, Tex, April 10.-(Spec
ial)-Does rain follow the army, and
is it fact that old Jupiter Pluve gets
wherever soldiers are mObOliZed? This
and similar questions are being asked
by the soldiers at For Sam Houston,
Texas has been dry-that is so far as
antural humidity has been concerned
for a number Of months previous to
the mobilization here, only little show,
ers breaking the long continued dry
ness. Soon after the troops were
brought to San Antonio, Tex, began
to be rain swept and this has continu'
ed at intervals since to the delight
of the farmers and the discomfort of
the soldiers. Only webfooted sold
iers could navigate the streets in the
mobilization camp the greater part of
the time. It is this that has caused
officers to declare that rain actually
follows the army. Discussing this un-
usual condition, an old officer grew
reminiscent and said:
I'm 1860, when federal troops were
being modified in Virginia, there was
an almost constant downpour of rain.
A like condition prevailed at the con-
federate mobilization camp. During
the Spanish American war many of us
can recall the heavy rains about Chat
tanooga and the mobilization points in
Florida. l have heard old soldiers, too,
who participated in the Mexican war.
tell about how the rain poured down
on Taylor and his command as these
marched from Corpus Christi to
Brownsville. l do not know whether
the mobilization of an army excites
the rain god or not, but l do know
that there has been a perfect flood in
the dry belt of Texas ever since the
soldiers came to San Antonio. 1t
may have been this kind of experience
the muddy kind, we have had since We
have been here, that prompted Cen
eral Sherman to declare war is just
the reverse of Sunday school pic
MIC"
No odds what the cause of the splen-
did rains which have fallen in many
parts of Teras may have been, If it
is true that the mobilization is re-
sponsible, the people of Texas take
off their hats to Uncle Sam for sending
his rain-makers down here.

School Official Says Regula-

To Children.

Backing up Allan Davis, principal OF
Business High School. A. T. Stuart.
director of intermediate instruction In
the schools, today made a strong plea
for the children to be allowed the use
of streets for roller skating.
Simultaneous with this announcement
came the statement Of Judge William
H. De Lacy that he had no intention to
start a campaign 10 pronibit roller
skating. but that he merely meant to
regulate It for the protection Of the
children as well as Tor the public.
These announcements Gained the
storm that seemed to be brewing be-
tween the Juvenile Court officers and
the school officials over the right OF
children to be On the streets after dark.
Skating is a healthful and invigorat-
ing exercise" Mr.. Stuart said. "and II
would be a calamity II children were
prohibited from enjoying II. Inasmuch
as the days are short now, 1t would
practically put a stop to much of the
sport IL they were not permitted to be
on the street after dark. OF course
Judge De Lacy is right in his effort to
keep young children, and especially
girls, of the public thoroughfares after
10 or II o'clock at night, and in that ht
will have our cooperation
Judge De Lacy instructed policemer
not to bring children into court for the
first offense in congregating, whether
