mainder IS under-tared. II Is this use
Of unnecessary tare. says the report.
that injects uncertainty and possible
fraud into the cotton business.
This uncertainty" adds the report,
strikes at the basic factor of every
transaction, namely, the amount of the
commodity actually sold. II in effect
establishes a false standard Of weights
with the invariably unfortunate con-
sequences Of such a condition II thus
gives an advantage to a skilled clas s
Of specialists who best understand the
complicated details of the business
with a corresponding disadvantage to
the less expert. 1t is not sufficient to
say that the competition among these
skilled classes often forces them to
turn over the benefit OF this false
measure to the producer. II is not
seriously contended that this is always
30. and there is thus ever present the
open door to fraud. There is always
the invitation to cotton merchants to
adopt improper practices, and there
is thus enticed into the trade q class
OF men who bring discredit upon hon
est merchants. This is not only the
cretically so, but It is actually so. Buy
ers Of cotton, both in this country and
abroad, are constantly finding them
selves involved in transactions where
shippers have taken advantage Of
these opportunities to defraud."
Standardization Remedy.
The ideal remedy for all these evils,
Mr.. Conant concludes, is the standard
ization Of tare to be put on a bale Of
cotton by making 1t definite or read
lily ascertainable amount, so that the
net weight may be determined with
out controversy or test. The present
careless and irregular methods Of COW
ering cotton, If the evils are allowed to
go uncoTected, he declares, seem like
ly to invite legislation.
Pending the adoption of a thorough
remedy, the commissioner believes
substantial benefits viii accrue by
modifying the six per cent contract so
as to provide for a deduction Of five per
cent or some other percentage more &C
curately representing the amount of
covering actually necessary to protect
the cotton. The requirements Of the
contract he says, should certainly be
Identical with the allowance established
by the rules under an actual test.
There would be a great saving, the
report says, If the cotton could be COM
pressed at the gin. Under the present
practice, the staple is pressed at the gin
and later compressed to greater densi-
ty at numerous establishments scat
tered over the cotton belt. Compress
ing at the gin, he says, would encoun-
ter opposition from the owners Of COM
presses because it would destroy their
business. Furthermore, he adds, It
would be impractical at this time be-
cause it would require a capital outlay
OF at least $100000,0O0 to equip gins
with congresses. Nevertheless he be-
lieves. this is an ultimate ideal cond-
ton to which the cotton trade must
look forward,

Exporter Faces Problem.

faces a serious problem to avoid con-
Quoting business at a loss Some cot
ton merchants, Mr. Conant saws. argue
that these facts are thoroughly under
stood by the trade. and are adjusted
in the price which the exporter asks
for his cotton The commissioner does
not entirely agree with this view. ana
says that the practical result Of the
rules has been that the exporter adds
unnecessary tare to his cotton.
The exporter" he SAYS. naturally
adds tare up to the amount allowed nv
the rules roughly 261-e poundsl. He
does this by patching is. placing
strip bagging on the bale. 4 small part
Of such patching IS usually necessary
TO cover sample holes However since
the exporter, in making ont his invoice
must deduct six per cent, he frequently
goes further and adds tare up 10 at
least six per cent Of the total weight Of
'he bales; sometimes he ADDS even
more
obviously. n the exporter makes a
.
also adjusts by adding tare, he makes
a profit Of such added tare. II. how
ever, complete adjustment is not ma II
IN the price, this addition of tare be
comes simply a means Of protection
against loss, although in the trade It
IS usually spoken Of as a profit on
patching
Granting that the price Of cotton
IS in no way affected by the six per
cent rule, It IS nevertheless highly OBJ
tectionable. 1t results in changing the
gross weight Of the bale and thus in

smile and grateful much obliged,

Scarcely any of those who know
him under the name he has assumed
for more than fifteen years are aware
of the fact that he is listed in the
pages of Debrett as Sir Henry Kel-
lett, baronet of the United Kingdom.
To the reporter of Melbourne
newspaper, who dug out the story Of
his descent from high social posi-
tInn to the status of humble shop
keeper, Sir Henry thus explained his
position:
81 was left without shilling and
only the rudiments of an education;

dawn to midnight Don't you think
under these circumstances it was wise
for me to forget my title? Rather In

Atlanta, Ga. - "Lupo the Wolf"
leader of the most daring band of

discovery of two attempts of confed-
crates to communicate with him in

PET SNAKE CREATES PANIC
Scare Green Monster Gave to Children
at Bristol, Pa, Is Transferred
to Adults.

Bristol, Pa.-Bristol children do not
wander far from home these days
since a green pine snake six feet long
tried to join in their revels.
Joseph Gardener of Otter street.
while Oh a trip through Jersey caught
the snake in the pines few days ago.
He put 1t in box and brought 1t to
his home, where he made house for
1t in his cellar
A day or two ago Gardener was alb
sent from home and the snake took
advantage of his freedom, escaped
from the box and wound it's way into
the street, where not a few children
were playing.
It did not take long for the young
sters 10 discover the reptile creeping
toward them. or course, they all took
fright and screamed, and as they all
have sound lungs it did not take long
to bring their parents to their rescue.
Excitement prevailed for a little
while as the older folks came running
with brooms, clothes props and so on
to make battle with the monster.
Finally one of the family and about a
hundred of the residents cornered the
snake with their weapons and drove
It into the cellar of the Gardener
home.

In the rainy season, whee the narrow,
dark brown, shrunken Colorado RACES
beneath the great iron bridge of the
railway, steamers run to the gulf and
up river. Then one may take ono OF
the most interesting trips in the west.
Where Rain Is Unknown.
Over the bridge lies the Indian res
ervation, and on its borders is an in
horses. OF course no roof to the shed
is needed, for it practically never rains
in Yuma, and the stages themselves
consist Of three open wagonettes, the
covers of which have long since been
lost.
You get a new idea of Indian control
in the southwest as you step past the
corral. There is sign forbidding
whites to proceed, unless they have
legitimate business with the Indians,
and stating a heavy penalty for trading
with the redskins Furthermore, it Is
forbidden to enter the reservation
without a permit The whole arrange
ment seems well nigh despotic. The
Yumas live in sort of forbidden land.
Squaws, with the gay colored blank
cts, pass out Old men, with their hair
down their backs in innumerable
braids, saunter ia or stop to watch the
stages being harnessed, and perhaps
to lend an indolent hand to hitchtng
the four horses.
The homes of these Indians are pic
turesque, if nothing else. One finds
almost everywhere the primitive
adobes in little groups or else miles
from the nearest neighbor. Some are
on the open desert, where the sum-
mer sun beats in fury; others are hid
den away in the tall, narrow weed
prairie. Basically, each hut is square,
while from the front there extends a
roof of dry brush and mud to pole at
either corner.
Under this hut the gayly clad red
skins SQUAT. Dogs are everywhere,
noiseless as their owners.
Children likewise are numerous, and
their quiet demeanor makes them even
most conspicuous, strange as that may
seem. Two Indian boys will occasion
ally gallop past on a horse, otherwise
the reservation seems to repose in per-
petual quiet. Maybe it's the heat that
drives folk to silence; it's like the leth-
argy of a midsummer noon hour. At
any rate, it saps all the strength from
you and you've neither energy nor de-
sire to stir when among the redskinF
at Yuma.
