DEPARTMENTS WARMING
TO COTTON PRODUCERS
Should See That dinners Use
Box q 81 Inches

Washington, D. c. Sept. 1O.-The
Department of Agriculture, in response
to a number of letters and kilograms
from cotton producers to the effect
that they are penalized for shipping
bales larger than 27 X "a inches, has
notified these correspondents thai
their safest course is to insist that
ginners at once change their gin
boxes to the size 81 X "a inches. This
can be done by ginners at a cost of
not more than $500 to $1,000 per box.
This situation arises from the fact
that on March 4th, 1913, Traffic Rep
resentatives of the South Atlantic Il
Gulf Steamship Conference agreed
that on and after September list, 1919,
amy bale from gin boxes of greater
length or width than 81 by "a inches
shall pay an extra freightsof $100 per
bale"
Many ginners at once changed their
gin boxes to meet the shipping re-
quirements of the Steamship Com
panies, but other smaller ginners eth
er did not receive notice of the change,
or else neglected to change their
boxes. The result was that cotton
producers who had their cotton ginned
in gins that have boxes over the re-
quired size and have shipped this
cotton, have been penalized the extra
freight of $100 per bale.
The reason for the adoption of this
rule by the Steamship Companies and
other traffic Representatives is that i
is more difficult to pack and handle
bales of irregular size in cars or
steamship holds.

Tomorrow never comes, they say,
And yet year Is as a day.
AS We shall know tomorrow.
Tonight the Old year goes to rest
His thin hands folded on his breast.
His withered lips together pressed.
And with him goes his sorrow.
Tonight, ere gray the morning grows,
An infant, still in swadG!inS clothes.
Will come to earth to greet US.
The bells will clamor at the gate,
vii! shout aloud: you're late! You're

Within his hands he holds our fate,
Yet. laughing, comes to meet us.
An old year goes: a new year comes.

Is but a step across the heath.

Be dark or bright the weather.

After the usual greetings the presI-
dent referred to the Trent affair. and
the secretary of state explained what
he had been doing. Lincoln expressed
q desire to know the contents Of the
proposed reply, and young Webster
was directed to read it to him. The
president listened attentively and at
the conclusion of the reading said:
~'Read it again. please, pausing a mo-
ment at the end of every second or

AS the second reading progressed
the presidents face relaxed and plain
" indicated a feeling of relief. AS
the secretary neared the end Lincoln
drew a document from an inside pock-
ct, quietly sauntered to the fireplace
and threw it into the flames without
word Of comment or explanation. The
president then notified Seward Of a
cabinet meeting and asked him to
bring copy Of the dispatch just read.

had always been denied by the United

Therefore the commissioners would

barred from reasserting the right Of
search. This dispatch was discussed

Webster asked about the paper

destroyed on that memorable Sunday
in Washington. Hay explained that it
was q dispatch Lincoln had prepared
in answer to Great Britain's demand
and that it was directly opposed to the
propositions of Stewards dispatch.
An experimental draft Of this docu-
ment in his own handwriting was
found by Hay among Lincoln's papers
after his death. Its chief proposal was
to arbitrate the matters at issue or in
the alternative to carefully discuss the
questions involved and formulate a

After battling continually for three
hours with the tide and choppy waters
in the North river, Miss Rose Pitonoff,
champion woman swimmer, was forced
to give up her attempt to go from the
Battery at Sandy Hook, July 20.
The young woman started at the
Battery pier about 700 O'Clock. She
was accompanied by her father and
several friends in motor boat and
her brother, Otto, in a rowboat.
Miss Pitonofi attempted to take a
course outside Governor S Island. but
her powerful strokes made little head.
way against the strong tide. She then
decided to try the Buttermilk chan
mel, but after another hours steady
swimming. when she had only succeed
ed in getting ms far as the entrance OF
the channel, she was persuaded to Civ,
mp the attempt. She was taken out OF
the water in an exhausted state. Sh,

HAWAII RUBBER
HOLDING EVEN
w. A. Anderson Tells Of Industry
in Bulletin Of Hawaiian Ex-
detrimental Station.

"The rubber industry in Hawaii
finds itself under a disadvantage as
regards the cost Of labor az compared
with rubber plantations in other coun'
tries, says w. A. Anderson in the
latest press bulletin Of the Hawaiian
Agricultural Experiment Station. "The
price of labor may be reduced in Ha
wall, while wages in most of the rub.
Der plantation countries are increasing
How far this movement will go nc
one. can say. 1t is safe TO predict, how
ever, that the.price Of free labor in
Hawaii will not for many years reach
the level Of the wages paid to the con
tract labor Of the Far East. To be
sure, the cost of supervision; and gen
cral 'toverhead charges are rather
less in Hawaii. Thefe still remains
however, a considerable balance in
favor Of the Eastern plantations.
&"To minimize this, difference will re
quire constant effort toward better
methods and. closer economies, Fortu
nately, the rubber industry is in its
infancy the, world over, and holds pos
sibilities Of Important, discoveries il
methods Of tapping, and even, possibly
of cultivation. The aim OF. this Bull

Mr.. Anderson then goes extensively
into the local rubber questions undel
the SUBSCRIPTIONS of planting, cultiva
ton, interplanting fertilization, AGRA
ton, tapping, and curing and concludes
with the following summary:
"The. general conclusions with regart
to the plantations at Nahiku are:
