One year ago today the 1912 Christ
mas Stocking club had a membership
of 81. Today, the 1913 Christmas
Stocking club has a membership of
forty five.
On Christmas eve, 1912 the stocking
club had a membership Of $40, which
shows that $40 pairs Of stockings were
given to $40 Juniors.
This year we want the membership
to reach at least 700. Every extra
pair of stockings makes one more
child happy. So that the new Juniors
will know all about the Christmas
Stocking club we will give a little bit
of it's history.
The Courier Junior was the first
Christmas club in Iowa, or any OF
the nearby states and was planned
right here in this office. December,
1906. It's purpose is to help little chill
dren at Christmas time, whose par
ents fail to tell Santa Claus of their
existence. Then again If we wish to
give presents at Christmas time and
do not want our friends to know from
whom the gifts come, Santa Claus will
deliver them for us if we ask him. You

Cotton-A School Compost
ton by Floy Young

Cotton is the main product Of Amer
lea. Most of the cotton is raised in the
southern part Of the United States.
More cotton is raised in United States
than all the rest of the world com

Cotton is very useful. We use it to
make the most Of our clothing ex-
cept what is made of wool and then
the Peruvian cotton Is mixed with 1t
and it makes it wear longer. We don't
waste one bit of cotton. We take the
seeds and make cotton seed oil. They
press out the oil from the seed to make
this OIL They take the hulls and the
ground pulp Of seed to make oil cake.
The make cotolene, which is a substi-

cotton. We make celluloid, paper
fibre. prepare plates for cameras,
colodion which is used for the healing
of sores, and as court plaster, yarn
and mercerized cotton, which is just
common string.
First we pick the cotton. We go
over the field once and pick out the
ripe cotton and by the time we get
over the field once 1t Is time to go
over It again. We keep this process up
until the field IS cleared. Then run it
through the gin and the seeds are
taken out and the cotton is put in
bales which weigh 1900 pounds. When
cotton is first brought in from the
fields without the seeds taken out and
lit is weighed The seeds form two
thirds of its weight.
When the cotton is in the fields it

are from two to three feet tall

RESPECT FOR ELDERS.

This incident happened at Athens
in Greece during a play for the COM
monwealth.
That an old man came too late for
place suitable for his age. Many of
the young Athenians made signs for
him to come and they would accom-
modate him and give him a seat. The
old man hustled through the crowd
and when he came to the seats of the
Athenians they sat close together and
would not give him a seat.
Some Spartans who saw him arose
and gave him a seat. The old man
said, THE Athenians know what is
right and the Spartans practice it. We
should respect the older people.

The Lady With the Cloak
of Bro,O;t

The lady with the cloak OF brown
Ia walking on the hills.
She puts her baby seeds to bed
And locks the brooks and r1us.
The rustic of her silken skirt
Is mingled with the rain,
And everywhere she goes. she sings
And this the refrain:
GOOD night, and glad good morning
MY little children dear.
IN tuck you in and bless you;
'Tis bedtime of the year"
The lady with the cloak Of brown
Goes walking in the night,
And children listen for her feet
!. And whisper In delight.
T She comes across the stubble fields,
!: She taps upon the pane,
She shakes the leaves from all the
: trees,
And croons her low refrain:
"Good night, and glad good morning,
Oh. children in your beds,
NV blossom-babies are asleep
With leaf caps on their heads
The lady with the Coax of brown
Z On wind-swept meadow walks;
She sees the Withered blossom
swing,
And whispers to the stalks,
She bends above the empty nest
with words too low to hear,
Yet children know the song she
4 breathes,
: The love song Of the year:
."Good night, and glad tomorrow,
Oh, songster of delight,
The love that tuned thy melody
Will guard us through the night"

IRE WAITING TALK
WITH AMBASSADOR
Governments Attitude towards
Mexico Not to be Announced
Until After the Conference is
Held.

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-The ad-
ministration will make no move in
the Mexican situation and will reserve
announcement OF its future policy to-
ward the Huerta government until
after Pres. Wilson and Secy. Bryan
have had an opportunity TO confer
with Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson.
now en- route TO Washington from
Mexico City.
Upon the advice and report of con-
ditions which AMBASSADOR Wilson
himself presents will depend whether
he will return TO the Mexican CAPT
tai.
No answer will be made to the note
OF one OF the European powers about
conditions in Mexico until the Wash
ington government has had an oppor-
tunity TO learn the true state OF at
fairs In the southern republic.
Administration officials. in stating
these facts Thursday night, confessed
obtaining trustwo rthy information at
long range about Mexican politics and
its ephemeral changes. These same
officials let IL be known incidentally
that they believed the demonstrations
IN Mexico City recently against Amer
leans were fomented and manufac-
tured by a small group Of Mexicans
WHO were lIIlnB u lOIEG inc Oul
States TO recognize the Huerta gov
eminent. Equally artificial, they be-
lieve, were a number Of recent hap
peningS in the Mexican capital. and it
was suggested that some of the Euro
pean members Of the diplomatic corps
in Mexico City had been led through
the anti-AmeTican manifestations TO
believe that the chaotic conditions in
the republic are results of the WASH
ington governments failure TO extend
recognition TO the Huerta regime.
Only Impressions.
Supported by letters from unofficial
sources in Mexico, Washington Off
Gals are inclined to treat the infor-
nation transmitted by some of the
Mexico City diplomats to their govern
ments as in the nature OF impress
siOns," and not reports of the real
and underlying conditions of Mexican
affairs.
Official reports came to the state
department Thursday. confirming
earlier reports of outrages in Duran
go, following the occupation OF the
city by the revolutionary forces and
describing conditions there as de
plorable." The archbishop of Du-
range Is among those held prisoner
| for ransom, and the official report
I says, citizens without distinction of
nationality" are being arrested anC
/ held for money.
The consul general at Tampico re-
ported that he is in daily communica-
ton with Dario Sanchez and Otto
Winter, Americans, under arrest
there. and that everything is being
done to hasten their release. He said
nothing serious has been proved
against them, and that the delay in
their release is due to the slow pro-
! ceedings OF the military court.

ers, was put on cross examination
Thursday about the truth of his cor
respondence for the first time since
nearly a week ago he began to tell
the senate investigating committee
the story of his doings.
Sen. Reed questioned Mulhall about
his alleged relations with S. w. Nc
Clave in 1908 when McClave was a

Sen. Reed announced that McClave
had denied acquaintance with Mulhall
and jumped the witness from lex

senator said he wanted to prove who
was telling the truth, Mulhall or Nc

Mulhall identified many letters
from McClave to him written in 1908.
said he went to the sixth district to
help McClave fight Hughes and gave
details of his work there. He said
the National Association of Manu-
facturers furnished him with $4,000
for this fight and that a man named
Barber" put up $4,000 more. He
told about taking McClave TO lunch
and dinner, about riding with him in
| cabs on political tours and in other
ways helping out in the fight. One
item in an expense account Sen.
Reed put in the record spoke Of din
ner for two, and the witness was
asked who the other person was.
Il think it was McClave; he was
always on hand" said the witness.
Mulhall swore he took McClave
around TO shops in the district. He
said they went to one shop and the
superintendent said he would rather
give $500 than let them in. Nc

cause we didn't take the money and
