PROFIT IN GRAIN BAGS.
Washington State Raises Prices Of tho
Prison Made Product.

Shortage of grain bags in eastern
Washington is forcing prices higher
than known for years. The board of
control has raised the price to So, the
same as other dealers. Colonel Cagwin
of the board says that the price will
probably go to 10 cents each. Early this
year the board fixed the price at 5%
cents, which will give the state profit,
and has been raising the price as fast
as the private prices go up, to make all
the profit possible for the state.

GEN. LEE ON GENTLEMEN.
Great SOuthrOn'S Estimate Of Quail
ties that Are Essential

Lee hated parade, display and ccre-
mony, hated above all things being
made an object Of public gaze and
adulation, says the Atlantic Monthly.
Ills idea Of high position was high
responsibility, Il superior was simply
one who had larger duties. and the
mark OF gctlcman was keen
sense Of the feelings md susceptible
tiles Of others. No one has ever ex-
pressed this attitude more delica tcly
lhan he himself, in a memorandum
found among his papers after his
death.
'Thc fOrbcaring use OF power does
not only form n touchstonr, but the
manner in which an individual en-
JOYS certain advantages over others is
a test Of Il true gentleman. The now
or which the strong have over the
weak, the magistrate over the citizen,
the employer Of the employed. the ed
uratcd over the unlcttcrcd, the cypc-
ricnccd over the cOnfiding, even the
clever over the Silly-thc forbcaring
or lnoncnsivc use Of all this power or
authority or total abstinence from
1t when the case admits it, will show
the gentleman in plain light.
Thc gentleman does not needless
~ and unnecessarily remind an Of
fender OF wrong he may have com
mittcd against him. He cannot only
forgive, he can forget; and he strives
for that noblcness Of self and mild
ness Of character which impart suffi-
cicnt strength to let the past be but
the past A true man Of honor feels
humblcd himself when he cannot help
humbling Others"

0,00s,172 BALES ARE GINNED.
Crop Apparently Maturing Much Ear.
lier Than Usual.

Washington, Nov. S.-With Il total
OF 9,96S,172 bales of cotton Of the
growth of 1911 ginned prior to No
vember l, as announced to-day by
the census bureau, the promised rec
ord-breaking crop Of this season is
facturer. AT no time In the history
Of the American cotton industry has
so great crop been ginned at this
time OF the yea~.
The amount ginned to November
1 exceeds by 1,777,000 bales the
amount ginned to this date in 1908,
the previous record. 1t also is
greater than the ginning to Novem-
ber IA of any other year, being about
200, 900 bales more than was ginned
to that date in 1904, the record year
This would indicate that tho crop
was at least two weeks earlier in ma
turing and reaching the gins than in
previous years.
About 100000 Bales.
Calculations Of the years total
crop, based on the ginning reports,
would, therefore, probably be more
accurate if figured on the November
Ia reports Of other years. In previ-
Gus record years, about 70 per cent
has been ginned to that date and a
rough estimate Of this years crop
might be placed at a minimum Of
100000 bales. Commercial ex-
perts' estimates. however range up
to more than 100000.
The census bureaus fourth cotton

number Of running bales, counting
round as half bales, Of cotton OF the
