THIS WEEK WILL DRAW SHARP LINE Two Crops Will Be Entirely
 Independent STATISTICS DEVELOP The English Situation Will Be Looked After Very Closely as It Is Said
 to Be the Life of the
 Market
STATISTICS DEVELOP

New Orleans, April 2s.--If the signs at the end of this last week were anything to go by. this coming week in the cotton market will see sorie important trading and possibly wide fluctuations. The sta tistical position is now developing in all its strength. One thing that will prob ably happen this week will be the draw ing of sharp line between the two crops. Henceforth they will be more indepen- dent of each other than they have yet been. This is bound to be very appar- stronger, and the weather on the other hand becomes more favorable.
 The main happening in connection with the old crop that eau now be seen is the first notice day for May. It is not pos sible for any large amount of cotton to be rendered on contracts in this market for the simple reason that it is not here to tender but there is much uncertainty over tenders in the New York market. The first notice day for May in that mar ket will be Friday To threats of large tenders the bulls have replied that they will stop all notices issued.
 The English situation will be watched very closely for 1t is the life of the mar ket. Should reports from Manchester and Liverpool continue as bullish as they have been for some time past it is prob able that the spot demand on this side will be stimulated. Any falling off in business among the Lancashire mills will cause low prices on this side and stimu- late the bears into fresh activity.
 The new crop deliveries will be entirely weather proposition. The weather promised to be fair over Sunday and if fair weather continues into the new week it will hard for the new crop months to advance, no matter how strong the old crops may be. There is a large short in terest in the new crop, however, and anything that would produce a crop scare would cause heavy covering operations.

TAFT'S CHANGES
 ANXIOUS TOPIC

washington, April (Special.)-Th radical division in republican ranks shown in the split vote on the Canadian. reel procity bill when 1t passed the House, is today an anxious topic of discussion among the friends of President Taft. <
 What will be the effect ofsreeiprocity on Mir. Tafts chances for re-nomination?" is the question being asked by the Presi- dents political advisers They are con- fronted by the fact of record that 7s re- publicans voted against the bill and only 67 for it.. M
 The republican lineup on reciprocity, the more it is studied by. the administra- ton whips, the more it causes them to speculate as to the ultimate effect of the fight on the political fortunes of the President.
 survey. of the republican vote makes 1t clear that the great opposition to Canadian reciprocity comes from the az rcultural classes and especially from peo- ple in what Is known as the agriculture middle west the farmers, ranchers and poultry growers and the producers of butter. cheese and eggs. are opposed to reciprocity because they fear it will put Canada farmers Tn positon tO uhuetseiI American farmers. This would mean & lowering of prices for American farm products.
 As against this view is the positive be- lief of President Taft and his friends that reciprocity will help rather than hurt tho American farmer. It makes no practical difference. according to the Taft argu- ment. whether Canadian competition is met in Chicago and Boston or in London and Liverpool. If 1t. turns out that the President is right he will not suffer po- litically,4 his advisers say, by his demo- cratic" position on reciprocity

BERRY SCHOOL IS
 ID bE IMPROVED

New York. April 3.--(Special.) l.)-Miss Martha Berry, known throughout the mountain country of North Georgia as The Sunday Lady of Possum Trot," is in New York tonight to make ar engagements for next Tuesdays meeting of the Berry School association at the Hotel Astor.
 Miss Berry will meet and confer with Miss Anna Morgan. daughter of J. Pier pont Morgan. during her visit to New York, Miss Morgan being member of the board of trustees of the Berry school at Rome, Ga. She will also tell at the meeting of the work being done among the mountain youths at the school she founded a few years ago and which has had so remarkable growth. Other speakers at the meeting will be former President Theodore Roosevelt, former Gov. A. J. Montague of vir- ginia and George w. Perkins.
 I've are planning for the erection of chapel. new and larger dormitory and other buildings on the grounds, said Miss Berry in speaking of the work of the association When Berry school was opened as a little mountain mis- sion it was not known we would re- oeive the support that has come to us. The young boys and girls were eager to he taught and the school thrived. It attracted the attention of Governor Smith and he was induced to come and deliver an address at the close of the session. President Roosevelt was in- duced to stop on one of his southern trips and he spoke tosthe students from q platform erected on cotton bales. The school fiourished from the little com pany until the past year the larger buildings that had been erected with public donations were too small and we set about the work of building greater.
 It was nine years ago that Miss Bet- ry gathered together the 'one spender boys" into a log cabin on her estate near Rome, Ga, and told them a few things that made them want to hear more. The following Sunday she talked to a larger audience, and soon the little cabin wasn't big enough for a meeting place. ta
 Of her boy pupils one has become county superintendent of schools. one has covered his section of the noun talns with the telephone; one drove a team of steers 40 miles. from his home at the foot of Lookout mountain, to .he school, walkn ing all the way.
 There were no rural schools in that section at that time and the novel plan of Miss Berry who is a product of the same country, seemed to fill the bill
 "The moonshiners," said Miss Berry, will disappear when we offer the youths more inviting labors They need to be taught to work, till the soil and produce means of support by more req $ sonable methods. They are given in- structions in Ghristian education at Berry school. The students are poor children and the sch ool is maintained principally by gifts which have been generous where the work of the scho Is known

 I'm going to retire because I want to live Thinking in bed killed Hartman. He worked all day and thought out his problems at night.
 Men should retire from active business life at 6. not only for their own sake. but for the sake of any institute they aim to help.
 Age of retirement in the army is 64. am not sure but what 1t ought to be 60.'
 "A man is just beginning to live at 6o. I think twice as much and work twice as long as either Hartman did or Stubbs does,' said Edison. "I will live twice as long as Stubbs.
 If Hartman had lived right he wouldn't have found 1t necessary to lie awake with his troubles at night.
 If Stubbs retires he'll retire to a ceme- tery or he'll be back In harness before the end of two years.
 With my system of living I wouldn't be surprised if l should live to be 160 year sold.
 ! My system of living that enables me to work twice as hard as a Hartman and a Stubbs. and think twice as long is based on, first, proper eating; second, proper sleeping: third. proper clothing"
 A reporter found Edison in the work shop of his laboratory in Orange yester- day morning. The time slips in the of flee showed that he had already worked s7 hours and % minutes during the " ak ending yesterday.
 Think of that ye who beat the clock to tho coat closet" Seventeen hours a day. And 1t was a week typical of scores of others put in by this 64-year-old man.

That the committee is doing it's best
seems to be evident. Few people,
though, seem to have any idea of the
tremendous amount of work connect
ed with the investigation of a site,
which must take into consideration
the cost of land, availability of the
site to transportation, both as regards
land and water, climate attractive
ness, and the hundred and one small
things which help to make a worlds
fair successful.
The directors of one of the big East
ern fairs took nine months to decide
upon a site. The directors of another
big fair gave way to popular clamor
and selected a site without due con-
sideration-and moved it twice after
wards before the exposition was
finally built.
With such examples in mind, the To-
cal directors are moving slowly, but
carefully toward decision. Most Of
the subcommittee have reported, and
the committee as a whole have now
taken up the site question and will
