For the last couple of days I've
been busy snapshotting aviators
and fire ruins and politicians in
stead of topnotch society, and
thought no more of the Van
Svelte scarborough romance,
least of all that it would come
and hunt me UP.
All at once | found myself
yanked right back into the vortex
of it, If vortex is something
that makes you dazed and dizzy.
1t seems that the fair fiancee
has a mother, old Mrs. Graboff-
Van Svelte, who is Gladys man
ager, as it were. The wise talk
is that she engineered the capture
of Lancelot Scarborough and that
Gladys merely did the necessary
Be that as it may, old
Mrs. Graboff-Van Svelte is scared
green for fear that Lancelot will
take a bug notion to marry some
one else before the splice is eff
fected. She heard of the merry
session at the country club where
Lancelot put a white rat in my

the crowd. Furthermore, she

New Orleans. June 23.-Cotton flu
lures opened steady, / point up to
point off. The weather map was wet
and indicated good rains in Texas
while private reports stated that
much rain had fallen in Oklahoma. In
suite of this, the market had no sell
ing power. The holidays in the Liy-
trpool market served to restrict ope-
rations. Shorts bought covers on the
first call and the ring found it diff
cult to supply the demand. After the
call, the market had a rising tendency
and at the end of the first half hour Of
the list was unchanged to 5
points up compared with yesterday s
close.
The market was dull and narrow
the morning session. II
had no selling power in spite of the
forecast of more rain in East Texas
and private reports Of good showers
in various parts Of Texas during the
morning.

FIRST CAR is SHIPPED
AMERICUS TO WEST
CaRtaIOupGs Of Best Quality
This Year

Carrying mellowed, juicy sweetness
to the unfed of the West, the first car
load of Americas cantaloupes went
forward last night, and will be follow
ed by other shipments as rapidly as
the fruit natures. Probably twenty or
twenty-five carloads cantaloupes will
be shipped from Americas
Mr.. E. c. Parker has one hundred
acres in cantaloupes near Americas,
and as the seasons have been favor
able he expects good returns upon this
investment.
Just now cantaloupes are bringing
$3.50 to SO in the West, per crate, ana
there is good demand
Around Albany and Valdosta, where
cantaloupes are grown extensively,
conditions are most unfavorable and
the crop there this season is wellnigh
failure. Conditions down there are
summed up as follows:
A few showers in the past week
have visited the fields in spots, but
these have done more harm than good,
blistering the vines and fruit A gen
eral rain would have cooled the ground
and have saved a portion of the crop,
but the showers have done no good.
The loss to the growers can hardly
be estimated. Many thousands of dol
lars have been invested in seed, fer
tilizer and labor, and shipments had
just begun when the hot weather put
a blight on prospects that had pre-
vailed.
Until about week ago all con-
ditions had been ideal, and it looked
as though an unprecedented season
was assured Now there is little hope
held out. There may be some ship
ments but the curtailment will be
very great.
The growing of cantaloupes is one
of the most precarious of agricultural
industries, and the grower takes many
chances when he plants this crop
The cantaloupe vine is very fragile
plant. It is easily affected by heat,
cold, drought, excessive moisture and
many other influences. The grower,
if his crop comes through without
succumbing to one of these, may drop
a wad of money even then, if the mar
ket goes wrong.
But he takes the chance, and if the
crop comes out all right and the price
is high, makes enough money in one
season to pay for a bad season or 50.
If it were not so, there would be few
men to enter such precaious bust
ness.

AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS

The directors of the American Min
ing Congress, the permanent head
quarters of which are in Denver, have
selected Chicago as the meeting place
for the 1911 session, which will be the
fourteenth annual meeting of this
body. The exact date has not yet been
decided upon, but it will probably be
some time in October. The official call
for the convention will be issued short
ly, authorizing the appointment OF
delegates to the meeting by the presi-
dent of the United States, the COVER
nors of the various states and terri
tories, the mayors of cities and mining
organizations, etc. 1t is probable thas
his will be the last annual session u
the Mining Congress to which outside
delegates will be appointed, as the di-
rectors have for some time been work
ing out plans which have in view the
abolition of the delegate system and
permitting only members of the Ameri-
can Mining Congress to participate In
the proceedings of the annual conven
tion.

NEW BROOM SWEEPS CLEAN

In a party caucus, noteworthy FOR
its harmony and the smoothness of its
progress, tile Democratic members of
the new house of representatives Sat
urday adopted without change the com
mittee assignments, the economy pro-
gram and the new rules prepared for
the coming session by the commit
last month.
Important changes in procedure
and a general reorganization of the
house will result from the action of
the Democrats. The power of naming
committees was definitely taken from
the speaker by the rules, and lodged
in the house itself.
Committee members are 10 be elect
ed by the house. not only in the first
instance, but also in the filling Of va
~cancies.
A saving of $4,000 in the annual
cost of running congress is proposed
through the cutting out of superfluous
employees and inactive committees, and
through the adjustment of time
honored "extra months pay" APP
pointive places are put into the hands
of one committee, a special body to be
known as the committee on organiza-
ton, and the scramble for congress
sional positions will center about its
door.
A legislative program was submit
ted by Chairman Underwood of the
ways and means committee, and adopt
ed by the caucus. 1t is designated to
limit the activities of the extra session
to such questions as popular election
of senators, Canadian reciprocity tar
if revision, investigation of govern
mental departments, congressional re-
a-pportionment, statehood for Arizona
and New Mexico, general deficiency
appropriation, District of Columbia
legislation and publicity of campaign
contributions.
The important changes in the rules
under which the new congress will
operate are:
The selection of committees by the
house.
A provision to prevent flibustering
under the rule giving authority to dis
charge committees from consideration
of bills.
A provision permitting amendments
to appropriation bills whenever those
amendments will result in retrench-
ment of natural expenditures.
Authority for bills to come up twice
for passage under the unanimous con
sent privilege.
The rule to prevent flibustering on
a motion to discharge a committee
from custody of a bill is the result o,
the flibuster conducted in the last
session by Representative Mann, of
Illinois. He had the postoffice reor-
ganization bill placed on the calendar
under this rule, and demanded that it
be read completely, an operation that
consumed several days.
The new rule provides that a bill
shall be read only by its title and that
it's title shall not be more than one
hundred words long. 1t prohibits any
member from having before the house
at any one time more than two mo,
tions to discharge committees from
the custody of bills. Under this rule
the Democrats believe it can be made
to work as originally intended to pre-
vent the burying of bills in committee,
The new rule affecting appropriation
bills is a renewal of the so-called
"Holman rule first used by the
Democrats in 1875. 1t permits amend,
ments to appropriation bills of wide
character, when these amendments
will effect a reduction of federal ex.
penditures.
