HUMOR WORSE THAN WASTED
Probably in the Future Madge Leasing
viii Be Wary Of Joking With Ger
man Newspaper Men.

Miss Madse Leasing. who is now
appearing in The Blue Mouse, has
been playing in Berlin for some time,
remarks Parsons Weekly.
She was telling us the other day
that soon after she went to Germany
she was interviewed by the representa-
tive of Berlin newspaper
The interview complimentcd her
on being able to speak her lines in
the piece without a trace Of a foreign
accent.
oh" replied Miss Leasing frivol-
ously, 81 play in five languages Ger
man, French, American. English and
Irish"
Poor Miss Leasing expected at least
a smile at her little joke, but the in
terviewer wrote it down quite seri-
ously, and in due course the statement
appeared In print.
Almost Immediately another news
paper chided her, solemnly informing
her that American, English and Irish
were practically one and the same Ian
guage Miss leasing" it pointed out,
should know better than to make a
mistake like this"

Western Newspaper Union News Service
hrevepOrt.-Because he failed TO

name of his campaign manager au-
thoriZed to receive and disburse cam
paign funds. Andrw Currie Of Shreve-
port was barred from making the race

ton, that the failure OF Mr.. Currie TO
comply with that provision of the cor
rupt practice act of. 1912, which re-

EnuIish Strawberries.

Strawberries have been known in
England from the earliest times. but
the luscious berries now grown there
are quite a modern variety. Until the
fifteenth century none but wild ber-
ries were obtainable, and even the
good Strawberries" which according
to Shakespeare, grew in the Bishop of
Ely's Holborn garden, can have been
only transplanted "wildings." In the
eighteenth century an improved va
riety was cultivated, known as the
"Hautboy," which greatly pleased the
taste of Doctor Johnson; but the mod
ern berry comes from a cross with a
Chilean variety introduced only a CEN
fury ago.

NAMES CAUSE OF CONFUSION
Incident That Was Embarrassing
Alike to Newspaper Man and Lady
He Was Sent to interview.

Names can produce sometimes a
great deal of confusion. As when Flor
once ID. White. now one of the head
men of the New York World. went To
a hotel in St. Louis when he was "a
reporter on the Post Dispatch to see
Z woman on business.
His card read, Florence D. White"
ard the woman naturally inferred
that Florence was of her own sex.
Therefore she asked the visitor TO
come up. And as she was not dressed
to receive one of the other sex, the
climax was embarrassing.
a visitor from Columbus was tell
ing story of Ireland, the clever car
toonist of the Columbus Dispatch. Ire
lands work is known to every man,
woman and child in Columbus. and to
a great many outside that city.
Last spring Ireland went on a va
cation trip to the South. A few days
later a teacher of geography in one
of the schools OF Columbus said to her
class: Can any little girl tell me
where Ireland is?"
A little hand went up and a little
voice replied: He's down in F1ori-
da."

QUICK THINKING SAVED DAY
Too Small Boy Was Allotted Necessity
for Preserving Family Reputa-
ton, and He Did II.

At a banquet Of tho ministers Of
New York, Doctor Johnston OF the
Morrisanla church, told this story:
"Oue of tina members of my church
has iustilled into his family the belief
that the collection is 4 vitality impOr-
tant part of tho service.
Consequently his little boy Thomas
never comes TO church without his
contribution.
"One Sunday. as the elders began 10
take up the collection at the morning
service, Thomas looked along the pew
to see If the various members Of the
family were provided with a contribu-
tiUn.
Noticing a guest OF his sisters emp
ty-handCd. he whispered.
Where is your money!
"'I have none, was the reply.
Time was short and the necessity
great. In a flash the little fellow met
he emergency by saying:
Here take mine. ThatU pay for
you. and I'll get under the seat
And, ninging his own coin into her
lap. he disappeared under the pew.
where he remained until the elder had
gone by-and the reputation of the
family was saved. Popular Maya

COTTON CONVENTION.
TO MEET AUG 27.
CONFERENCE TO BE HELD IN
NEW ORLEANS TO DISCUSS
MARKET PROBLEMS.
SALVATION OF INDUSTRY
Gathering Of the Cotton Interests Of
the South Expected to Make an
impression on Congress
wcstern Newsnarer Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New Orleans.-A cotton convention
is to assemble I'm New Orleans August
q and rs. at which every cotton pro
duciug county in the South Is expect
ed TO be represented with farmers.
merchants, bankers and manufactur-
ers in attendance. The convention mas
been called to consider the problems
confronting the marketing of the cot
ton crop of 1914, which is now matur-
ing. and which will begin to come to
market i'm volume soon after the date
fixed for the assembling of the con
vontion.
The call for the convention was is
sued about a week ago by Harvie Jor-
dan of Atlanta, Ga. The original idea
was that the conference should be
held in September, but owing TO the
necessity for arriving at ways and
means OF moving the crop at the carli-
est possible date, the time has been
advanced to August q.
The general idea is that n gather ne
OF all the cotton interests Of the South
will impress Congress with the ncces-
sity OF aiding I'm the prevention of dis
aster 20 the cotton industry as a re
suit OF the war I'm Europe. by assisting
the Southern banks i'm aiding the farm
ers TO carry the surplus OF their crops:
1t is recognized that should the war
continue, there would be only the do
mestic consumption to be depended
upon as an outlet for the supply, leav-
Ing a large amount OF cotton on the
farmers hands.
II this cotton surplus has to be sac
rificed IT will mean ruinously low pri-
ces. but If the farmers are helped fl
nancially they will be able to held
their cotton until European consum rs
are again in a position to enter the
market and even domestic mills will
not be able to acquire their raw ma
terial at panic prices.
Owing to the great Importance OF
reaching a solution of the cotton prob
lem. as affected by the war at the
earliest possible moment great inter
est is being taken in the coming con-
ference in local cotton circles.

City Of Mexico-When the inhabi

the republic, as well as his cabinet
had vanished. President Francisco
Carbajal left the city on special
train for Vera Cruz at 3:15 a. m He
left a manifesto to the nation saying
he had done his best to save his Coun-
try from further bloodshed, but his
peaceful Overtures had been met by
constitutionalists with uncompromis-

render. Two paths lay before him.
he said-to fight or to accede to the
constitutionalists. Under such COndi-

concluded:
Il leave the high post | have Oc-

filled my duty toward my country.
and | intrust the lives and interests
in the capital to the governor of the
federal district. The whole respon-
sibility for the future rests with the
revolution, and if we should behold

day by General Obregon, representing

The document forms the basis I'M
der which the constitutionaists will
enter the capital. It sets forth guar
antees of the life and property of citi-
zens of the capital and promises a
peaceful occupation.
The pact was drawn up at the re-
quest of the state department at
Washington, which informed the Bra
lillian legation at Mexico City that this
was necessary.

New Orleans proposed extra

called off for the present. The idea
Of securing Legislative action on tax
reforms and submitting the const,tu-
tional amendments at the November
election has been given up.
Two other plans are now up to Gov

ence of administration leaders here.
either session later i'm the fall, open
ing the latter part of September or
about February II OF next year.
1T is not certain" said Governor
Hall after the meeting. but the con-
sensus of opinion seems To favor early
next year. Practically everyone agreed
Ii would be imprac;iCable to call the
General Assembly to consider tax re-
forms and get the amendments sub
mitted at this congressional election"
Strong doubt was expressed in the
Governors conference whether the
present Legislature would pass any
tax reform legislation. Robert b. But

composed OF heads OF state inst'tu-
