Texas Leads List of Southern States
With Gain of Half Million Bales
For the Season.

WASHINGTON, D. Cotton
ginned to October Is amounted to
6,83S,S41 bales, or S19,7S0 less than
ginned to that date last year, when a
record crop was grown, according to
the census bureaus report today.
East of the Mississippi the ginnings
fell below last years while west OF
the Mississippi last years figures
were exceeded in every state. Texas
ginned to that date greater quanti-
ty by more than a half million bales
than ever before.
In addition to the ginning figures
the census bureau announced statis-
tics estimating the worlds produc-
ton of cotton from the crop of 1911
at 22,297, 900 bales of 500 pounds
net; the consumption for the year
ending August 81. 1912, at 20,277,-

ELECTRIC CULTURE OF CHICKS.
Hatchery at MuscOgee, Okla, Forces
Growth by Aid of Electric Light.

Hatchery at MuscOgee, Okla, Forces
Growth by Aid of Electric Light.
One of the most interesting feat
ures of a 30,000-egg electrical hatch
cry at Muscogee, Okla, is the method
of forcing the growth of chicks by
the aid of electric light. A 60-watt
tungsten lamp, which, by means of
a special switch, is turned on and on
for alternate periods of eight hours
each, is suspended in the runway.
The chick fills its craw in the eight
hours of electric illumination, and
rest during the eight hours the light
is shut off. Thus the chicks live
three electric days in two ordinary
sunshine days In the customary
way of brooding chicks eight hours
of the twenty-four are wasted, or to
express it electrically the load factor
is Sc per cent. The electric outfit,
however, is run at nearly Hooper
cent load factor. and electric chicks
four weeks old far outweigh chicks
brooded in the old way. This up-to-
date method of raising chickens is
described in an illustrated article in
Popular Mechanics.

Dandruff and Itching Scalp Yield to
Zemo Treatment.

Why should you continue to ex-
pertinent with salves, greasy lotions
and fancy hair dressings trying to
rid your scalp of germ life? They
can't do it, because they can't pene-
trate to the seat of the trouble and
draw the germ life to the surface OF
the scalp and destroy it.
Why not try PROVEN RENE
DY? One that will do this. We have
a remedy that will rid the scalp OF
germ life and in this way will cure
DANDRUFF and ITCHING SCALP.
This remedy is ZEMO, a clean, re-
fined, penetrating scalp tonic that
goes right to the seat of the trouble
and drives the germ life to the sur
face and destroys it.
A shampoo with ZEMO (antisep-
tic) SOAP and one application of
ZEMO will entirely rid the scalp of

Then there's the saloon. What a
monster it is! But soft sentimental
ity or hysterical denunciatiOn will
never wipe it out. This is a problem
which must be attacked in a per-
fectly logical manner The biggest
factor in the proposition is the eco
nomic aspect. The workingman to-
day holds the key to the situation.
Whichever way he votes the saloon
will go. The brewers and distillers
are telling him that if the saloon is
closed it will create a labor panic,
because at least three million work
ers will be thrown upon the streets.
How shall we meet this argument,
which is so manifestly based upon a
false hypothesis? 1t can be done,
and it may be done through the
churches. But there is deep, under
lying moral principle in the matter
which cannot be avoided-the old,
old question of being our brothers
keeper. We must be concerned about
the saloon for our brothers sake,
therefore the church must have a
part in the solution of this home

Woman Traveller Says All DiabOlical

and Rampantly in Vogue.
The abominable practices that pre-
vail on the west coast of Africa have
caused a woman traveller, who has
written a book about that continent,
to call her literary effort Hell's Play
ground, averring that all the diabol-
ical acts of primitive man are openly
and rampantly in vogue in that coun-l
try of rich promise.
Nor is this all. The writer sx-
presses the opinion, which will
arouse violent discussion in some cir
cles, that there is absolutely no use
or hope of lettering the conditions of
the savages by any effort of mission
aries to christianize them and make
Df them anything better than what
the white trader found them-sim-
pie, wild children of nature with all
the superstitions and savage cruel
ties of their ancestors from time i'm
mem Orial.
Furthermore, the writer, Miss Ida
Vera Simonton, declares that from
contact with the whites the negro ma
tives learn only the vices of the trad
ers and copy none of their virtues
and that the whites themselves, freed
from the restraint of social conven-
tionalities and habits of their own
people and overcome by the climatic
and wild conditions of their new
abodes, gradually throw off all re-
straint and practice the iniquities OF
aboriginal man with an abandon that
can only be possible to men who have
once known the restraints of civill-
zation The two races, the blacks
and whites, run riot and if the de-
scription given by the author is cor
rect the title Hells Playground has
ample foundation in fact.
Miss Simonton, while mindful OF
the great sacrifices and efforts put
forth 0y the missionaries, is cOnvinc-
ed that the good done is transient
and falls far short of compromising
for the suffering, deprivation and
often loss of life to which they sub
iect themselves. The negro has been
made sensual and lazy by indulgent
nature, which provides him easily
with clothing and food His native
superstitions, beliefs, abominable
practices and nudity are as much a
part of him as are his peculiar odor,
his black skin and his kinky hair.

COST OF LIVING IN 1879.
Ham Cost Only Cents and Butter
s. Cents Pound.

Ham Cost Only Cents and Butter
s. Cents Pound.
Here are some of the common ar
ticles of consumption in New York in
1879, as shown by an old market list
of that day: Brown sugar, cents;
loaf sugar, 8 cents; butter s cents
ham, cents; tea, 80 cents to $3.50;
coffee, % cents; rum, 80 to so cents
a gallon. Sugar and tea were much
higher than now, coffee little less,
and ham, butter, etc, very much less.
Anyone who wanted to live on rum
in those days, as many did, had no
cause to complain at the price. What
would a farmer think now if he had
to trade a pound of butter for only
half a pound or a pound of sugar, or
10 to 20 pounds of butter for a
pound of tea?

SOLEMN SOLONS STUDY EGGS
HIGHEST TRIBUNAL OF LAND is
INTERESTED IN HEN FRUIT.
The Supreme Court Must Determine
Whether Eggs of the Vintage OF
1910 Are DecOmpOsed.

Whether Eggs of the Vintage of
1910 Are DecOmpOsed.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Four hun
dred and forty-three cans of frozen
eggs of the vintage of 1910 occu-
pied the attention today of the SUI
preme court of the United States
The members of that tribunal were
engaged in determining whether the
eggs were decomposed.
Ralph S. Rounds, attorney for the
claimant of the eggs, argued that
the eggs were not "decomposed"
within the meaning of he pure food
law, and told the court that the
case was the most important of all
five pure food cases which had come
before it for consideration, because
it would decide whether the pure
food law was to be interpreted ac-
cording to the view of the young
men in the department of agricult-
ure or according to common sense.
He said that the common sense
way of interpreting the law was to
give 10 the WOru QSCOmpOS6u the
meaning of "unwholesomely decom-
posed" and not make the decompo
sition depend on the number of ba-
ciIlus that could be counted in an
egg.
Confidence in Eggs.
Members of the court manifested
an interest in the rudimentary facts
about eggs, in addition to the ques-
tons of law.
Mr.. Rounds informed the court
that there were four grades of eggs,
current use" seconds" Chicks"
and spots"
do you mean to say that there
are four grades of strictly fresh
egsg?" inquired Justice Holmes. His
confidence in eggs was restored by
a negative answer.
The attorney explained that the
government had first charged that
the product was filthy, decomposed
or putrid," but now claimed it was
only "decomposed."
you say that is all that is charg
ed?" asked Justice Vandeventer,
with a decided emphasis on the
"all."
The court will continue it's study
of the egg tomorrow.
