NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 25.-With the
exception of hte northeastern part OF

with no rainfall west of the river, and
only lighter precipitation in Alabama

favorable. 1t looks like another spell Of
bad weather, with a very severe cold
wave following over Sunday. General
Killing frost is likely and there is Sc

bales in 1911. The amount ginned dur

The New Orleans Times Democrat
says: Beyond the shadow of a doubt

prices, reflects full ginnings In the
week Just closed 714,000 bales were
brought to light, against $4,000 bales a
year ago. and $4,000 bales in 1911
making the totals so far 900 in
1913, 3,613.000 in 1912 and 3,749,O00 in
1911. For this reason, if for no other,
students of the market and crop ex-
pect the Census Bureau to report large
ginning returns to October 49, and
many operators have been acting on
the belief that the showing will exceed
rather than fall below 1000 600 bales.
However, it by no means follows
that to-days census returns will repre-
sent an arbitrary 80 per cent of the
crop, exclusive of linters. There is an
ancient belief among tho trade that
ginning figures as Of October Is should
approximate half the yield, but this be-
lief had its Inception some years ago.

was predicated upon conditions. which
have since undergone radical change.
Facilities for rapid ginning have been
enormously improved The early sea-
son price in its relation to the sea-
sons average price Is higher now than
It formerly was. Shipping facilities are
better And, what is more important
still. increasing need has caused spin
ners to buy more heavily for early

General Huerta had assured American
Ambassador Wilson of the safety OF

The one danger to be apprehended.
which almost certainly would result
In the launching OF an army OF inva.

some act or acts in Mexico that would
endanger the lives OF foreign citizens
and Americans, for, having assured
the diplomatic representatives In
Washington Of the disposition and
ability OF this government to protect
their fellow citizens In Mexico In the

any attack upon the Americans or

WHAT YOUR NAILS REVEAL

1t is always amusing to speculate on
the character of ones neighbor. A
very simple aid In so doing Is to watch
the nails. II man or woman's nails
are long and slender you may be quite
certain the person is not~ SO robust
physically as the possessoS of short
broad nails.
Whereas men and women with the
long. or narrow type OF nail are In.
veterate Missionaries. those having
short nails are almost always consp!c.
uous by the strength Of their logical
powers. 1t is the latter who make the
best and most reliable critics.
A further and almost certain charac.
teristic Of long.nailed people is their
intense depreciation Of themselves
and their own efforts in any branch Of
work. The feeling almost amounts
to pessimism with them. Such point
of view. however. seldom worries those
possessing short nails-in fact, more
often than not rather the reverse is
the case; they are inclined to be over.
sure Of themselves.
