TRY JOKES ON INSANE
IS MINSTREL CLUB PLAN

WASHINGTON, Dee 21.-With its
amateur minstrel show already booked
in Washington and several surrounding
towns. the Mems club of the Esther
Memorial Protestant Episcopal church
of Congress Heights has no intention
of compelling the public to listen to its
jokes unless the jokes first have the
approval of an impartial audience. Ac-
cordingly the club has arranged to give
its dress rehearsal at the government
hospital for the insane. If the pa
tients don't like the show the engage
ments will be cancelled.

strobe in and pressed bronzed face
close to the stamp window.
sHowdy! Any mail for the Lone

Simeon Carter reached down pack
ct of letters and thumbed them over
deliberately. Occasionally he paused
to expectorate over his shoulder, i'm
proving each opportunity by INDUCING

window. Presently his curiosity found
utterance. Seems like I've seen you

S. B. Eskew made a business trip
to Greenville, Friday.
Our corn club boys are busy gath
ering their corn. One of the boys
made 40 bushels, another 33, and an
other 4S. There are several more boys
yet to be heard from.
One Of our farmers, S. B. Eskew,
is making considerable extra money"
in products, other than cotton. This
year he cultivated a small patch of
sweet potatoes-just about 2 acres.
From this patch he has already reap
ed several score Of dollars, besides he
isn't near done gathering the crop. Mr..
Eskew also has small turnip patch,
and has already sold $40 worth off it,
and he says he can't even miss them.
Mr.. Eskew also raises fine hogs. He
is an ideal truck farmer. His every
days work helps to push Hillside to
the front and helps to make it one
of the best, if not the best, farming
section in South Carolina.
Jerome Hiatt has bought farm of
&c acres near Fork Shoals, and will
move onto it in the near future. His

said.

the price were 15c instead of 1Oc,
there would remain some chance for
the man with one suspender over his
shoulder, but with the price so low,
and continually dropping what in the
deuce is going to become of those farm
ers whose absolute confidence was put
in cotton in 1912. Living costs more
this year than last. Fertilizer, .ast
spring, sold at high figure. Food
stuffs, all the year, have been soaring
skyward in price. This calamity is
a disaster that seems hard to over
come, but it must, and will be, over
come. This disaster will make us
wise, and help us to avoid the next
one, by raising some extra pork, and
producing more corn. Don't let the
seemingly hard times loom up as un-
surmountable, just grin and keep on,
and keep on. You'll find flowers some
day, where there are thorns now.

LAST YEARS LESSON.

Cotton, selling last fall for eight or
nine cents a pound-before it was
known just what a "whopper" the
crop was-is now selling for eleven
cents (nearly twelve) And this, de-
spite the fact that the official statis-
tics now show that the crop was over
16000,000 bales-bigger than anybody
dared predict in the beginning
The advance has come after the
great bulk of the crop has passed out
Of the hands of the men whose sweat
and labor brought it into being. Mil
lions and tens of millions of dollars
that should have gone to enrich the
plain farmers of the South have gone
into the hands of spectators, mer-
ihants and cutton buyers.
But for last falls stampede to sell
the wholesale flooding of an already
satisfied market-the farmers might
have gotten eleven cents last fall as
easily as the speculator gets it now.
1t was risk to take, because as
Henry Grady said, Cotton is a darn
fool, but The Progressive Farmer did
take the risk of continually urging
farmers to hold for better prices. We
predicted that cotton would be twelve
cents by spring, and If the crop had
been no bigger than conditions then
indicated, 1t would have gone to twelve
before now, Even with a 10000, ,000-
bale crop, it Is nearly twelve. And our
readers who followed The Progressive
Farmers counsel, refusing to be
frightened by the declining market or
by eight and innocent offers have
profted notably.
The big lesson that seems to stand
out Is the need OF warehousing and
gradual marketing-putting the crop
on the market throu i a period OF
twelve months instead. of period Of
three "The laborer is worthy of his
hire" and this springs advance should
have gone to those who earned the
wealth, not to those who merely traf-
ficked in 1.-THE Progressive Farmer

LYDIA WADKINS.

. .
She was lonely old lady, who de-
voted her time to her COWS, pigs, and
chickens. She was accompanied in
her strolls over the settlement by her
bodyguard, Rod, big black cur dog,
who guarded his mistress day and
night. You have often heard this ex-
preston: Not worth shucks in Au-
gust" Shucks were so plentiful that
there was not much market for the. m
The neighbors would give Lydia all
she could pack home. She would take
bed sheet and tie it full Of shucks
and put it on her head, and lug 1t
home to feed her COWS.
We rented the Lanford farm one
year and put the whole place in
wheat. Mrs. Watkins was put in the
Monroe house to keep tn stock off
the grain. Father went up to look
after the crop and called at the house
to see how things were getting along.
We heard something trotting over the
floor in the adjoining room and he
asked the old lady what was making
so much noise. She replied it was
nothing but big rats. Well, they walk
mighty heavy! On looking into the
room found two pigs capering over
the room.
On another occasion we were 60
ing down to Friendship to preaching.
Passing by Mrs. Watkins cabin Moth
er heard a spinning wheel singing a
perfect tune. She ordered the driv-
er to stop and She went to the house
and asked Mrs. Watkins what in the
world she meant by working on sun
day? why honey! | have lost the
day Of the week / thought it was
Saturday | will put up my wheel and
cards and keep enough of Monday to
make up the time / have worked on
Sunday"
No doubt these lonely old people
would often lose the days of the week.

New York, Oct. 18.-Prices have
recently entered new low ground
owing to favorable weather over
much Of the belt, continued large re-
ceipts, the war in southeastern Eu-
rope. the fear that larger powers
may become involved in the struggle
and finally heavy selling partly
against actual cotton by the South.
Also spot houses have in some case
resumed selling. Wall Street houses
and the west have also sold. To the
great majority Of people here the
drift OF prices has seemed TO be in
evitable downward owing to the en-
ormous receipts at Texas points, the
Mississippi river, the tendency to in
crease crop estimates and the no.
ticeable falling off in exports and
spinners taking as compared with
those OF last year. If there should
be spread Of the war in Europe the
effect 1t Is believed would be to cause
very material decrease in the con-
sumption Of American cotton in Eu-
rope, especially as the cotton crops
Of Egypt, India and Russia are larger
this year than they were in 1911.
The disturbed condition Of the Eu-
ropean bourses at times has added
to the general depression. Southern
farmers have been reported as Of
fering cotton freely. Spot markets
as rule have lacked snap. But for
all that there are those who believe
that the decline has gone too far
and that sooner or later there will be
big rebound. They believe that the
nous proportions. They believe
short interest has assumed enor-
that the market is sold out and over
sold and at the first sign of wide
spread killing frost prices will move
upward, stimulated not only by a big
demand by overcrowded shorts on
both sides of the Atlantic, but also by
the excellent condition of the cotton
goods trade both at home and abroad.
These observers declare their inabil-
ity to understand why cotton should
continue to be depressed with gen
eral trade in this country increasing
by leaps and bounds
Toward the close of the week the
fear of frost in Texas, the calmer
feeling regarding the war in south
eastern Europe, the big spot sales in
Liverpool 14,000 bales on Friday
and covering Of shorts caused an ad-
vance in market believed to be
heavily short.
