a contestant total of 1000 votes.
Not more than this number can be
cast any single day by any contest
ant; hence the delay in starting
means the loss Of 1000 votes on
ten-vote ballots which might other
wise have been secured.
In the second place, the time of
the contest has been divided into
periods, and more votes are given
for subscriptions under the first
period schedule than will be given
under the second and third. The
difference between first period and
secand period amounts to about ten
per cent, which might make the diff
ference between success and defeat
at the finish. Moreover, the field is
now cleanest for the canvass, ana
subscriptions can now be- secured in
greatest number, for longest time
and with the least effort. 1t is a
golden harvest which will insure the
victory at the end.
1t is the easiest thing in the world
to secure subscriptions for the Tel

community. preferred by all for the
superiority of its local and Associ-
ated Press news service, and its spe-
cial facilities for reaching the peo-

NUMBER OF PEOPLE
WHO BENEFIT BY WAR
Horse Dealers Reap Vast Harvest,
While otmakers Would Profit by
Conflict-Others Interested

London, August 23.-(Special.) )-There
| is an ugly rumor abroad in Germany
that agents employed by a great firm
of gun manufacturers have been de-
| lliberately stirring up trouble between
| Germany and France
| The story goes that one of these
agents bribed a newspaper editor to
declare that the French army was
enormously Increasing It's artillery. II
this be true, 1t is plain taht the OBJ
| ject was to induce the German gov
ernment also to order more guns.
Ask the average man in the street
| If he wants to see his country at war.
| Nine out of 10 can find no terms strong
enough to express their horror at such
a suggestion. Even for the winning
nation war means more taxes, in
creased prices for almost everything OF
| life, and long drawn out anxiety for
the fate OF relatives and friends who
are fighting their country's battles.
But the tenth man, IL he tells the
truth, which he probably Will not do,
would confess that he wouldn't mind a
good war Yes, he admits all you say
| about taxes and high prices, but he
can very easily put up with those
when war is going to double his in
come.
The fact is that very dew of us have
any idea Of the number of people who
would benefit by war. or these the
| makers of guns and the manufactu-
rers OF armour plate are by no means
the only ones.
Take horse dealers for instance
During the Boer war we sent zoo 900
horses to the Cape. Their prices va

of wheat to 30s a quarter and British
and Austrian horses. Put them at $40
a head, here was fS,000,000 sterling
divided among horse breeders and deal
ers.
And as for the forage BILL well, that
was more than twice as much, and the
money all went into the pockets of
farmers here and elsewhere.
Farming in England was in a shock
ing state at the end OF the last CEN
tury- The Boer war sent up the price
of wheat to 30s kuarter. and British
farmers have never since looked back
So it is small wonder that the farmer
thinks that war is no bad thing, es-
pecially as at such times the demand
for fresh meat Is at least equal to
that for horses and grain.
Another business that boonis in war
time is that of the bootmaker II you

PRICE OF COTTON
TAKES ON STIFF RISE
August Goes Over 12c
Mark With New Crop
Months Near lie

New Orleans. August 2s.-The price
of cotton took on stiff rise on the
weekend session of the market, going
to new high levels for the week and
the present upward swing. August
went over the 12-cent mark and the
new crop months climbed up around
IL u cents. The reason for the advance
was the continued hot and dry weather
in Texas and Oklahoma and the reports
of crops deterioration that accompanied
it,
On the opening the tone was steady
and prices were to 10 points up In
the face of poor cables. The weather
map noted a few scattered rains I'm

consideration shorts covered freely
around the call and widened the nd
vance to IL to 12 points. At this level
longs were heavy sellers to realize
profits and the market fell Off abo,ft
points. These setbacks happened
several times during the morning. but
did not destroy the good tone.
The market was flooded with te,a-
grams from the west around the mid
ole OF the morning and the gist of the
information they contained was that
the damage already sustained by the
crops OF the west could NOT be re-
paired, no matter what kind of weather
should be experienced from now on
EXPERTS advanced the opinion that DolIs

London. August 2f.--We all have
heard of the Wild Man of Borneo and his
dog and his child and his wife, and
the rest of his belongings as ehumera-
ted in the ditty of our childhood. and
now comes description of his char
acteristics, which prove to be queer
enough, fgrom an English clergyman,
who knows the wild man better than
the late Phineas T. Barnum who first
exhibited one of him in the United
States, ever did, This clergyman is
the Rev. Edgin II. Comes, who has
spent II years among the Sea Dyaks
or wild men of Borneo, and whose ac-
count of them is highly entertaining.
According to Mr.. Comes, George
Washington would be canonized by the
wild men of Borneo, did they happen
to know that such a person ever ex-
listed, for they are almost If not quite,
the most truthful race on earth. So
disgraceful, in fact. do they consider
the deceiving of others by an untruth
that such conduct is handed down to
posterity by curious custom.
''They heap up vast pile of branches
of trees In memory of the man who has
uttered a great lie," says Mr., Comes
$50 that future generations may know
of his wickedness and take WARNING
by ii. The persons deceived start the
tugong bula--the liars mound-by y
heaping up large number of branches
from one village to another. Every
passerby contributes to 1t, and at this
same time curses the man in memory
of whom 1t is.
The Dyaks. who used of course to be

sure that If anything happens to their
craft they viii be we'll recompensed,
and their prosperity extends to sea-
men, stokers. marine engineers, as well
as stevedores and dock laborers. There
will be no ships laid up in war time
unless, indeed, our navy is defeated and
hostile cruisers swarm around our
shores to prey upon our commerce.
Another huge industry which benefits
by war is that OF the coal getter. War
ships and transports alike are abso-
lutely dependent on coal. and the big
colliery owners can raise their prices
all round, and be certain of fat gov
ernment contracts.
War hurts some things, such. for
instance, as the sale of champagne and
pate de foIe gras. and 1t reduces the
profits OF theatres and football clubs.
Yet, as we have shown, there is a
very large minority who actually look
forward to European scrap on
large scale.
