A TRUE VALUATION OF COTTON

The following Is an extract from a
letter sent out by 8. Fl. r. Pell e Co,
cotton men OF New York:
II is a condition and not theory
that confronts us In the cotton trade.
Cotton comes nearer being medium
OF exchange between countries than
any other commodity. In time OF peace
or war; in time OF panic or prosperity.
the value OF cotton Is known and un.
deTstood In every country where
clothes are worn, and statements that
fits price should follow the price OF
other commodities or the market ten
denotes OF stocks or bonds are incor-
rect. II is one OF the prime neceS
sarles OF life. and drop in the prices
of all other commodities however nee
ossary leaves more money in the pock.
ets Of consumers and therefore pro
duces among the poor a greater ability
to buy cotton clothing.
Moreover. the price OF cotton is not
regulatcv Jnly by the demand within
the United States The market is the
world. and world conditions demand
always more cotton. This demand Is
70 steady in it's growth and so Dergis-
tent and eager under all circumstances
largely because the price OF raw cot

Congress is asked for another
$225,0O0 to maintain that tariff
board. There are at least two
rats gnawing at the public cheese
that we want to see killed off.
One is that tariff board and the
other is that court of commerce.
Neither has the confidence of five
per cent of the people, and both
are worthless as to any final eff
feet upon public policies.
The Democratic house can
have but one excuse-a rank one
for refusing to cut off such,
waste, and that is that Demo-
Gratis will probably soon have
their turn at the cheese.

lung power. Get as much sleep
as possible.
Different runners have differ
ent running styles, but the way l
have found most successful in
long races is to- use rubber heels,
landing on the ball of my foot and
letting the heel hit the ground
fraction of second afterward.
The contact gives you a spring
for the next step.
The one great thing is to con-
serve your energy. Never set the
pace-let the other fellow do it.
It's always easier to come up
from behind than it is to fight des-
perately to hold the lead, know
ing others are tearing along be-
hind you.
Never strain your muscles.
Run easy-let your body swing
with your stride and you wont
find any strain, and never, under
any circumstances, run on your
toes, it makes sore feet and uses
up the power.
Some trainers advise against
running with the mouth open. l

greatest runners of the day, is a
born athlete. He practically
SCOTS at the idea of keeping in
training. When the day for his
race comes he usually jumps in
without doing any training what
soever.
The developed athlete would
go stale and soft if he didn't train.
So those who want to learn to be
distance runners should ascertain
from an experienced trainer
whether they require much train
ing or not. And they should live
up to the rules laid down by a
trainer or coach.
AS a preliminary, the running
novice should take long walks,
then short runs, gradually in
creasing the distance from time
to time. But never overdo.
Remember always, when striv-
ing to be a runner, or striving for
victory, that all the laurels in the
world are not worth one hours

CITY HALL PLANS ARE ORDERED
Architect chubb Of Chicago Vas Here
Last Saturday and Will Make Drawing
and Estimate on Building.

The most interesting incident in local
municipal matters during the week
was the visi. here last Wednesday OF
Mr.. Flatiey, the contractor who did
the work on the sewers, and his attor
ney, Mr.. p. X. Martin. Of Green Bay.
The two gentlemen came here for
conference with Mayor BJork and some
of the council members in regard to
settlement of the suit which Mr.. Flat
ley has commenced against the city in
the u. $. Court for extras on the sewer
Job.
The gentlemen met in the clerk s
Office and went over the whole matter.
Much OF IL was foreign to Mr.. Bjork
as he was not connected with the city
administration at the time the contract
was made or the work done.
Mr.. Flatleys bill for extras amounts
to 81. 700 Some OF the items he can.
not make stand up but some OF them
he can and IL was to get at what is
fair TO both sides that the conference
was held.
The conference didn't go so far as TO
suggest figures but it is likely that ere
long proposition will be made for
compromise.
Last Saturday Architect Chubb of
Chicago. a gentleman who has planned
many upper peninsula buildings. was
in the city in conference with Mayor
Bjork and committee OF the council
in relation to new city hall.
The purpose OF the meeting WAS TO
