bolls developed to a considerable
size he opened some of them and
discovered the pods, as he
was wont to call them, to be
full of the white. soft staple.
Considering that the pods
were ripe, ne hitched a team to
q wagon and he and his family
soon filled the wagon bed with
the bolls. Imagine his chagrln
on going to the gin, to find that
the bolls were not only worth
less. but his landlord threatened
TO sue him for damage to the
crop. The matter was finally
settled without a law suit by the
Yankee paying what three OF
his heighbors considered an adj
equate price to the landlord, and
after the crop was gathered the
Yankee returned to his old home
in the North.
Yesterday F. W. Mcpherson,
who tills land on the old Nc
Ginnis farm. about five miles
west of Sherman, brought IN a
wagon load of bolls from which
he could not pick the cotton be-
cause of the continued rain, sold
enough of the staple at IL IL
cents per pound to bring him
$50 and took the seed home with
him.
The Yankees idea of several
years ago has been worked out.
There is gin machinery made for
separating the staple from the
bulls. and for several years
farmers of Texas have been
saved thousands of dollars
through this machinery. Every
year lot of bolls have been left
in the fields because the cotton
was not considered worth pick
ing. Since the invention of this
machinery the farmers have
been gathering these bolls and
the lint has been bringing good
money.
/ Mr.. McPhearson had a piece
of cotton on bottom land which
stayed wet longer than other
parts of his farm. and when hs
went to pick the cotton he found
that the bulls stuck to the staple
and he could not get half of it..
After trying TO pick it for sew
eral DAYS he took his wagon int
the field and gathered hulls anC
all. The result was a very happy
surprise to him, for the cotton
turned out as well in the number
of pounds as If he had picked it
and for the class of cotton made
the price was all that could b'

Divorce

PORT HURON. Mich, June 49,
Similar in many respects TO the now
famous Kracht divorce tangle in Mt.
Clemens, Is the case of Mrs Alex
andria Viro. OF Sarnia, Ont. Some
two years ago her husband moved his
goods and chattels across the river
and took up his residence in Port
Huron. His wife, 30 he says, refused
to accompany him, so after acquiring
legal rights In this country, he OBJ
tanned a divorce, which he received
on June g.
The following day Viro took out a
license TO we'd Miss Innie Collinge OF
this city. and the ceremony was duly
performed. Mrs. Viro No. ] read OF
the marriage In local paper, and i'm
mediately complained to the authori-
ties. She claimed TO have had no
knowledge OF the divorce proceedings.
Judge Tappan, who granted the de-
cree. says that the proceedings were
regular, so far as he Is aware. AS
Mrs. Viro lived In foreign country
service was made upon her by pub
fishing a notice OF the proceedings In
a ST. clair newspaper. as provided by
law. Moreover. Viro's attorney says
that he repeatedly called at the de-
PENDANTS house, but was unable TO
see her. Judge Tappan granted the
decree on the grounds OF desertion.

Mr.. Clay asked that Mrs. Blythe be
given protection against any further
attempt on the part of the father to

MAYORS FOES
"HOLLERING" OVER
HEAVY TAX RATE

on the general tax rolls, and entirely
independent OF the 100000 bond is
sue provided TOR in the municipal own
ership charter amendment. The COM
mon council and the board OF esu-
mates allowed the $25O,O00 item, but
the court enjoined the raising OF the
amount.
Those criticising the present admin
lstration take exception TO the mayors
excuse that he is in no way TO blame
for the high tax rate because his own
friends were not in office when the
budget was prepared. Under the pres
ent charter. ii is pointed out. the may
or has no veto power, and he is power
less TO remove a department head AZ
ter appointment. But before Mayor
Marx announced the new heads OF the
various departments and while those
IN Office were fighting for reappoint-
ment having been appointed by Philip
Breitmeyer. former Republican mayor
and friend of Marx, IL Is evident That
Marx could have used his Influence
with the different commissioners 10
keep their budgets as low as possible.
Marx then had practically the power
OF remoal, which he has not now. and
will not have next year under the ola
charter lie did use this club TO
bring about some things, but he did
nothing contemplating reduction or
the budget his critics say.
The mayor sent several communica-
lions To the board OF estimates advo-
eating extreme caution in handling
the budget and urging the estimators
20 be as economical as possible with
the city's money. The estimators
chopped off over 100000, but the
budget was not trimmed down to the
bone by any means. Two members OF
the board that handled the budget
were later given jobs by the Marx
administration.
The only time the mayor appeared
before the board in person. he asked
that the $250,00 for municipal trans
portation purposes be added 10 the
budget In his fight for municipal
ownership the mayor considered al
other matter of secondary importance.
