W. are personally acquainted
with the officers of the Cotton
States Life Lnsurance Company
and take pleasure in stating that
they are men Of integrity and
business ability, and we believe
they are thoroughly capable of
building up a great Southern In
surance Company.
There is a large sum of money
now annually sent. out of the
State for insurance premiums
and we believe that every effort
should be made to keep this mon
ey at home. The Company will
operate on the legal reserve ba-
sis, and as there is no question
of it's success, we have subscribed
for a block of the capital stock.

A very interesting meeting was held
on Saturday afternoon in the Com
mercial Club rooms, by the Bull Fruit
Growers Association. The subject of
pruning was ably discussed by Geo.
Watt, graduate of the Washington
State College, who has made very
close study Of horticulture. His re-
marks were greatly appreciated by the
fruit growers present. Frank Russell,
one of the most scientific farmers of
the Bull country, read paper on
tomato growing, which was of great
value to those present. Those who
were unable to attend missed a great
deal of valuable information. Plans
have been made to have two more
of these meetings in the near future
The subjects to be discussed will be in
keeping with the season.

BOYS ADJUSTMENTS IN CUBA
spin Tops In Spring Just Like Their
American Cousins-Reason for
Custom Is Problem.

Boys certainly are boys the world
over. and the little Cuban youngster
as like Young America as two peas
pod, says Havana correspondent
the New York Sun. Just why the
Cuban hopeful should resort to the
sport of top spinning in the springtime
Ind no other Is inexplicable, but 1t is
rue here just as 1t is in the states.
It Is not remarkable that they should
spin tops. The strange thing about 1t
Is that they should only take up this
amusement In the spring In the
United States there is a reason for
this. The winter has kept the young
iters more or less bottled up and the
sports he has INDUCED in have had
their reason In cold weather. With
The coming of the warm spring days
md the disappearance of snow and
Ice, the top inevitably appears first
of all and has it's run until super
'eded by marbles, the playing Of which
Is better suited to the still warmer
lays following.
But In Cuba there Is no such reason
So far as the climate Is concerned the
youngsters can spin tops successfully
rom one end of the year to the other.
Why do they do 1t only in the spring?
That this Is a fact cannot be contro-
Verted. and It is done, too, by boys
who have never set foot on American
ioil. Nor has the practice come with
the American flag.
ls 1t then psychological? Is there
anything In the mental makeup OF the
species boy which irreslstibly compels
him to seek his top in the months of
March and April? Can It be heredi-
tary. handed down through all tho
lges from the days Of Noah's arkt
Now If this be not the explanation
Of the reason why Yankees in a colo
climate and Cubans in a hot one spin
tops In the same months of the spring
and at no other time. let some student
OF the race furnish another.
