the enrolment for 1928 being
11,7O4. The high schools have been
thoroughly standardized and 81 new
high schools added.
Estate aid" said Mr. Torreyson,
'has caused most Of the growth in
our high schools. The state high
schools are required to give free tu-
ition to all pupils of the county pre-
pared to enter high school. This
provision has greatly strengthened
the rural schools and has fixed def
mite standard for common schol grad
yates. During the first two years
of state aid, 3,40O rural pupils have
taken advantage fthe free tuition.
Free tuition is also given teachers, of
whom 2,70O enrolled in state high
schools during the school years of
1911-12 and .1912-13. During this
same period agriculture was taught
to 400 high school pupils. The
third year of state aid is just begin
ming and the initial reports from the
state high schools show that the in
crease for this year will greatly ex-
coed that for the previous years.

WALLACE WILL
RENDER OPINION
LUMBERMEN IN ROW
RETAILERS CLAIM WHOLE
SALERS ADDED TO FREIGHT
WHEN RATES WENT UP.

Little Rock, Oct. 21.-Special Mas
ter J. G. Wallace has announced that
he will render an opinion in the dis
pute between wholesale and retail
lumbermen, who are contesting over
the rebates due from the railroads
on Wednesday morning. 1t is thought
that he will declare the wholesalers
who are in possession of the bills of
lading for the lumber shipments, en-
titled to the rebate and permit the
case to go on to the United States
Circuit Court on appeal. No matter
what the decision, the case is destined
for the higher court, and for this rea-
son Judge Wallace is not expected to
give the matter the consideration de-
manded if his decision was final.
The retailers, if anything, have the
preponderance of the evidence so far
taken. They claim the wholesalers
added to the freight when the rates
went up, not to the price of lumber,
and that all lumber was sold at the
mills. The wholesalers assert the
lumber was all sold delivered to the
retailer. In answering the retailers
undertake to show that the wholesal-
ers, all interested in tap-line roads,
testified in the Interstate Commerce
hearings that their interest in the
lumber ceased when delivered to the
railroad. The retailer further denies
the claim of the wholesaler that they
advanced their prices and forced the
consumer to pay in the increased
rate, by declaring the retailer does
not advance his selling price unles:
the change warrants an additional 81
per thousand feet. The advance IL
freight rates was only about so cent!
per thousand, so this came off TIT
profit of the retailer in most cases
The retailers also showed cases wher
the wholesaler had refused to stan'
for loss in transit, and the retalle
had to take the matter up with IN
railroad.
Only about 500 is represented Il
the litigation which is being made

How II Works.-It was a hot sum-
mer day. 1t was also dusty. One hum
dred and fifty men were riding from
town to town in central Kansas, in au-
tos, on a trade extension tour. They
were Kansas men-merchants, lawyers
doctors, editors, clerks, mechanics,
bankers, farmers. From time to time
they stopped at thirteen towns during
the days run.
No one in the crowd spoke Of beer.
No one had any beer. No one at the
thirteen towns offered anyone any
beer. At most of the towns there were
great. deep, stone jars Of iced lemon
ade on the sidewalks with bright tin
cups hanging from the jars, and sign
up, welcome, Emporians." There was
no whisky, beer or wine in the crowd.
No one missed it. No one spoke Of
it, For these men, ranging from 80 to
so, had lived in Kansas thirty years
under absolute prohibition. Most of
them had never been in a saloon in
their home town in their lives. Booze
was as remote from their conscious
ness as carbolic acid. Booze is not in
the Kansas scheme Of things. No one
thinks of 1t. It's presence or absence Is
not considered by the Kansas mind

COTTON
The Money in the Crop and Boston
Papers Idea of It. (

The Money in the Crop and Boston
Papers Idea Of It. /
In 1911 the United States raised a
cotton crop Of over 100000 bales as
against 11,500,000 bales in 1910 and
II, 100000 bales in 1909. This crop
broke all records and although 1t SEEM
ingly oversupplied the market, the
prices obtained were in the main
good. In 1912 the production was over
$4,000, 900 bales, but the smaller crop
brought a cash return Of something
like $1O0,000,00 in excess Of that re-
ceived for the larger. This Indicated,
among other things, that the market
was not actually overstocked by the
record crop, but that it lacked facili-
ties for absorbing 1t. At all events the
planters were not deferred from in
creasing the acreage this year and
government statistics show that the
1913 yield will in all probability exceed
Is, 900, 900 bales. Should July and Au-
gust prove favorable to the staple, the
crop Of this year will bring the cotton
production of the southern states for
the three years up to at least 45,00O,-
900 bales.
What does this mean in money
value? 1t is but a reasonable expecta-
ton that an average price Of II cents
pound for the producer will be OBJ
tanned this year. This would bring
the value Of the growing crop to the
farmer up to 1925 1000, 900, exclusive Of
the seed, or about $500, 100000 in all.
Taking 1913 as the average year OF the
period, the total value Of the raw cot
ton crop TO rthe three years would be
81, 700, 900, 900.
The southern states are enjoying
great prosperity. The south, from its
enlarged income, has been able to pro-
vide for development that must in
crease its productive capacity tremen-
dously. Among its conservative peo-
pie there Is still strong disposition to
warn the planters against continuous
cotton planting, but despite numerous
predictions Of failure, the land con-
tinues to yield abundantly Of the sta
pie, and, as has been seen, its selling
value Is we'll maintained. More skill
full farming will explain one phase of
this happy result, an ever-broadening
market the other. The south, in view
of its experience in recent years, Is,
and has a right to be, optimistic with
regard to the future It has learned
severe lessons its confidnce Is due in
very large part to it's belief that 1t has
learned them well.-Christian Science

SYNOPSIS OF THE MIpLANpERs.

SYNOPSIS OF THE MlDLANDERs.
Aurelie was stolen from the Holy
Family orphanage in New Orleans.
when a tiny child. by Uncle Michigan,
and taken to the swamps to Master
Captain to be brought up to lead the
people back to their own-for he was
a Confederate who had not surren-
dered. But he died, so Aurelie and
Uncle Mich started out to see the
world, eventually sailing up the Mis-
sissippi, and landing at Rome, Iowa, q
small town with large ideas of class,
caste, and family precedent.
Here Aurelie grows up, an elfi5h,
gypsy-like child, scorned and misun-
derstood by the townspeople; she and
Uncle Mich living in the Pocket Quar-
ry with the Lindstroms. John the
father was a fanatic, and after losing
his suit, filed for the loss OF his arm In
a stonecrusher, he became rabid
against the laws and the town.
Aurelie's only friends were Harlan
Van Hart, son Of the Judge, and her
lover, and Wiley Curran, editor of the
News, the weekly paper, a romantic
dreamer who shocks everyone with his
radical ideas.
Wiley Curran sends her pictures to
the beauty contest in a Chicago paper,
and to everybody's surprise, she wins
it. Such publicity and vulgarity
shocks the people of Rome. Harlan Is
incensed, and their love affair is brok-
en- off. ...

"Men Of Straw.r-Mr. Engelbach, an
English author, in new volume on
humors of the law, relates the follow
ing queer bit Of history:
Some years ago men used to walk
about openly in Westminster Hall with
a piece Of straw in their boot. BY this
sign attorneys knew that such persons
were in want of employment as false
witness, and wou!A give any evidence
required for money. For instance IL
an advocate wanted an obliging wit
ness he would go to one Of these men
and show him a fee, which, II not suf-
ficient, the witness would not take any
notice of. The fee was then increased
until its weight recalled the power OF
memory to sufficient extent. BY this
they derived their name, Men OF
Straw "-Harper's Weekly.
