OUSLEY REPLIES TO WILSON'S
 AND DURAND'S CRITICISM

Fort Worth, T Tex., November 2.-clar- ence Ousley. editor of the Fort Worth Record, replying to the comments of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and Cen sus Director DJrand Of MT. Ousley's ad- dress before the cotton conference at New Orleans, declared in a statement is- sued tonight tat either the secretary of agriculture anl the director were misin- formed as to khat he said or they are not frank on the subject or reporting cotton lconsunption and cotton trade in- formation."
 MT. Ousley declares that he does not complain of btton crop reporting by the government, hat he approves of it us a means of cotrecting errors and misrep- resentations If ESQ called experts whu magnify it in the interest of spinners."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-11-03

Reports of ithe spindle demand in No- vember Is of no value to the farmers who have sold before that time, he points out, and urges periodical reporting of con- sumption and trade conditions.
 The farmers want earlier reports of demand" he continued; they want ad- ditional reports of trade conditions From month to month just as spinners have re- ports of averages followed by reports of condition every month. Mir. Durand last November reported a demand of E, 3,000, ,0tv bales. Now the demand is shown to be 13,737,000 bales, meanwhile the farmers have sold most of the crop.
 ''The present system in effect is a gamblers trick whereby the farmers hand Is mirrored by crop reporting to the spinners' view, while the spinners' hand is concealed until the crop is sold"

SOME CHAMPIONSHIP NOTES.

Well, some game, but that timely hit
Of Sans was there when needed.
Maybe Nuttle German was not
there. He surely cut of Parkside's
squeeze play.
Knopf was strong in pinches, his
pitching with men on bases was good.
The Mosquitoes must have had De-
venny's goat. He certainly got ex-
cited.
The umpire was a Philadelphia boy
and his work was good.
No, he is not related TO Manager
Moore, even If his name is Moore.
Everybody out tomorrow at 3
o'clock at South Side Park.
Highlands stealing was a feature.
Highland gives Lewis all the credit
in the world. He pitched some game,
Seaford, sit up and take notice!
Best game seen in the city this
summer
Highland rooters were in abaund-
ance.
Wilmington rooters died hard.

BOY BROWNS AT
FORT MADISON
Eleven Year Old Robert Marsh Loses
Life While in Swim

FORT MADISON. June 24.-The
waters of the Mississippi at Fort
Madison claimed their first victim
about o'clock Friday afternoon. Rob-
ert Marsh, the eleven year-old step
son of John Morris of 1914 Beck street
drowned while swimming in the Mis-
sissippi in front Of the Brown paper
mill. In company with Herbert Be-
craft and Ivan Gilbert he was in bath
ing at well-known swimming spot
They were in deep water about $50
feet from shore and turned to swim
in to land, the other two boys in the
lead. They had proceeded but short
distance when the Marsh lad cried
out that he was drowning and called
for help. In the excitment of the mo-
ment and in desire to rescue the
sinking boy, young Gilbert gave out
and began to sink. Thomas Gilbert,
father of young Gilbert. was at work
on the levee short distance below.
heard the shouts and at first thought
they were only in fun. Then he heard
his own son say he was drowning
and he rushed into the water rescuing
his son just as he was sinking.
Having no success in dragging, a
lime jug was dropped at about 10 a.
m. Saturday and after the explosion the
place was constantly watched. At 1880
in the afternoon the body rose to the
surface near the place which had been

Not Salts, Oil or
Pills But 'CaScarets
No Odds How Sick Your Stomach;
How Hard Your Head Aches or
How Bilious-cascarets Make You
Feel Great.

Cascarets act as bowel tonic, not
as an irritant. They are vegetable.
Their action is natural. Their effect
is the same as the effect of some
foods. They are gentle; no gripping.
They are pleasant; no dreading. They
are convenient; no waiting
One old way was castor oil, The
effect was to grease the bowels, and
for single day. Oil never causes
the bowel muscles to act. Other ways
were pills, salts and cathartics. The
effect was the same as pepper in the
nostrils. They flooded the bowels
with fluid. Those fluids were digestive
juices. And the waste today means
lack tomorrow.
We knew that the method was
wrong. That the after-effects only
weakened the bowels. sut we had no
gentle laxative in the old days. So we
waited as long as we could, then took
a big dose of physic. The method
today is to take one Cascaret at a
time-just as soon as you need it.
Then the bowels are always clean
They cost only 10 cents per box at
any drug store.
