There are teams and teams but ID.
II. Spaulding, commonly known as
'Dad," although he is over sixty
years old and still young at work, has
some horseflesh when it comes to pull
ing. A cement walk approach had
been broken at the Goodoien corner
and a new one installed. The job was
to haul the old n a couple of blocks
and it was generally conceded that
the weight of the large cement block
vas too much for one team. However
last Saturday Dad came along, threw
a chain around it, and hauled it away
without any fuss whatever. This is
the team with which he delivers Oil
for the Standard people and we ven
ture to state that if patrons of the
company don't get goods regularly it
isn't the fault of Dad or his team.

n. S. Landru shipped three car
loads of cattle to the Chicago market
Saturday. Mr.. Landru expected to
ship another car at the same time but
8 head were affected by the heat
while they were being driven to town
and it was necessary for him to hold
back others for later shipment.

The whole world has agreed. that the
American car has a body design su-
perior TO that OF any other car.
1t takes a hundred men a year to
produce q hundred cars, selling at
$4,000 or over. II is figured that on
low priced cars a factory annually can

The demand for automobile factory

900 cars annually. These cars are val
ued at $40, 900, 600. In many cOmmunf-
ties il has been found difficult to pre-
vent men from leaving other trades TO
engage in automobile manufacture A
few months ago & baby carriage fac
tory IN Indiana had to close down be-
cause IL could not meet the wages paid
by the automobile factories, and nearly
all OF its men left TO take up auto

The automobile industry absorbs
nearly so per cent of all OF the special
tools manufactured In the United

Taking the automobile industry as a

a million men. More than 20 different
trades are involved in the production
Of an automobile. There are nearly
10000 dealers In the United States, and
new firms are coming into existence
with each passing week. The POSSIBLE
tiles Of the automobile industry for
the future are revealed BY the fact
that there are now more than 10000
600 horses and mules in the country,
and upward Of 100000 horse-drawn
vehicles The total money invested In
these horses and vehicles is upward
OF SO, 0O0, 00o. 600. Should the hOrseless
age ever arrive, and the price Of the

had weakened her-and her mother
knew that Il would.
For the moment Helen had almost a
fierce contempt for her own wavering
indecision- She thought Of her many
determinations which she had never
carried out No wonder Warren scOffed
at her assertions Of independence.
Looking back on the last few months
she realized that she had made one plan
after another and had carried out none
OF them.
Then came over her a feeling almost
OF fatalism-that whenever she tried TO
assert any Testige OF independence. in
some way some influence always swept
her back to the acceptance Of condi-
tons as ahey were.
Was il always TO be like this? Was
she really the victim Of some curious
fatality or was It only because she
had so long been under Warren's domi-
mating. styrannizing will that il had
crushed out any real courage she had
ever had?

The provision of the viii Of Frank
B Cotton, the deceased owner Of Cot
ton addition and other holdings Of the
Cotton estate in FL PasO and Boston,
makes such an institution possible up
on the death of the beneficiaries Of the
Cotton Will who are all advanced In
age
Judge walter B. Grant, who is one
Of the trustees, has been here on legal
business connected with the removal
Of the squatters from the Cotton ad-
ditiOn. Before he left for Boston ne
made clear the special provision Of the
Cotton will by which FL Paso is to be
given q great educational institution
for the instruction Of girls and WOm-
en- Of the city. This provision Of the
Cotton viii reads:
Believing that many women and
girls who voluntarily desire industri-

The organization OF the school and
the working out of all details for the
application OF the funds from the Cot

the two trustees, judge Grant and
Frank P Cotton, OF BrOOkline, Mass.
The funds firm the entire Cotton es-
tate Will be available upon the death
Of the six beneficiaries, the youngest
Of whom IS so years old and three OF
whom are dead The preference for the
location Of such an institution IS given
as Boston. where such a school Is
needed But judge Grant believes that
the funds from the sale OF the Cotton
estate VIII be sufficient to allow two
such Institutions to be established. one
at FL Paso, where the greater part OF
the Cotton estate holdings are locat-
ed, and the other at Boston.
The provision OF the Cotton VIII
makes il necessary for the estate to
amount to 100000 or more before
the funds can be applied TO this pur-
pose. As the estate viii reach a higher
value than that amount at the present
time there viii be no trouble about
meeting this provision, judge Grant
says.

as ar Cotton, believe a school can be

successors as trustees OF the estate,
see no reason why Ell Paso should not

you to make It clear, however, that

to advise you. AS you know. have
never wanted to interfere in any way
between you and your husband or his

that every wife must work out Tor

About his mother I hesitate to speak.
I can understand your resentment at
the letter she wrote Warren, but I am
your attitude toward her the day she
called Whatever she might have said
was il quite polite for you to retaliate
as you didz
know she Eoaded you into it, and
1t does seems thar you should be free
to rent your spare room II you wish.
But it couldn't help matters for you
to say you didn't think 1t concerned
her, and that the only interest she
had ever shown had been to criticise.
OF course, she exaggerated when
she wrote to Warren that you were IN
solent to her, but, still, as she was
calling at your home. I hardly think
you should have said anything at that
time.
know you feel you have taken a
great deal and have said very little,
people have treated you with more or
less discourtesy But would 1t have
helped any for you TO be discourteous,

better If you could avoid any just now
After all, your life is not lived with
his people. You see them only occa-
sionally. And whatever your plans for
the future, it will not make them any
easier to antagonize his mother.
You write that you feel you cannot
go on as things are now. That your
dependence on Warren is becoming
more and more intOlerable and that
you must find some way of making at
least part of your own expenses Helen,
I don't know what to say about this. j

Did Mother Fail Herg
Helen read this letter with the feel
ing that somehow her mother had failed
her She realized now how much she
had wanted to hold TO her. But this
letter only showed that she could not.
Tt only made her feel that more than
ever she stood alone.
Again she read the passage where
her mother said she was growing old
that every thing now seemed an un-
dertaking IL almost terrified her.
Somehow she had never thought Of her
mother as ever being really old. she
had vaguely felt that she would never
change. that age with its weakening
Influences would never claim her.
And she had looked forward to this
letter as one that would give her
courage and would strengthen her in
her plans Instead il had Shaken what
courage she had-it had made her feel
all her helplessness and incapability.
And more than this her mother had
questioned the wisdom OF her attitude
towards Warren's mother and also her
determination to keep the rOOmer.
She took up her mothers letter and
read II again. "D0nt think I am try
