STOVE APPRECIATED IN EARLY MORNING But Miss Fancy Still Likes to Munch Her Hay
 on Lawn

For the first time in many Sundays the wading pool at the Avondale zoo was absolutely deserted yesterday. The swings. see-saws and sand pits divided honors with Miss Fancy" in the attention of the little ones who called. Teddy" the bear. was tho object of many admring re- marks, but he seemed rather sleepy and it was stated ny older visitors to tho goo that hc was thinking of preparing for his winter sleep
 Miss Fancy is beginning to appre- ciate her stove during the early morning hours. but when the sun appears over the hill, upon the side of which her homo is situated she finds the weather warm enough without the aid of fire. and en- joys munching her hay upon the lawn surrounding the elephant house.
 The children now are visiting the lady elephant every afternoon, the Avondals playground being situated in the park. Many children find daily delight pay- ing homage to her elephantine ladyship and notwithstanding the fact that tho transient summer visitors no longer call upon her. the supply of popcorn. pea nuts, apples. bananas and other dainties Of which she Is fond is undiminished

One Blessing That's Come

As one result of the war the production of hooks and eyes has suddenly been stopped ,or largely curtailed, and 1t IS reported that the entire supply of these small but extremely significant commodi- ties has been bought up." Thus there IS an immediate famine in that line, with the accompanying certainty of prohibitive prices, says the Providence Journal.
 In some ways the outlook thus produced may seem somewhat appalling. Upon hooks and eyes. in present conditions, hangs the whole stability of feminine fashion, and the decorum of civilization is largely dependent upon them. And vet this news of the sudden corner in the hook-and-eye market will undoubtedly be received by thousands of men with sub dued chuckles of mirth and gratffica- ton.
 Among the masculine portion of society this is far from being matter to inspire gloom The process of "hooking up"- i. e.. effecting an accurate conjunction between 64-minute hooks and their cor responding eyes-has driven many thou sands of respectable and harassed citi- gems in the past few years to the verge of nervous prostration. The amount of profanity it has inspired in men of hither- to unblemished character and habit is nothing short of deplorable.
 Honest and peaceable men have been rendered desperate, and very likely the undermining influences of hooks and eyes have been one of the chief contributory causes for the increase of divorce and the disruption of happy homes. Here seems an apt illustration of the saying that good may come out of evil. The short- age of hooks and eyes may very well bring about at least a partial return of domestic tranquility.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Cheney on Cotton Plan

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 In your issue of Friday you editorially differ with me as to the efficacy of my plan to relieve the cotton producers and to give some value to the enormous crop of cotton that is now in process of gather ing
 would admit that your position was well taken if cotton that Is now being marketed had any set value. My plan, If properly indorsed by the bankers and merchants, would show to the spinners of the world that they must look largely to the crop already made for their supply during the next two years. I estimate that the per cent of farmers who arc able to finance their own crops next year VIII be very much smaller than would have been the case were cotton selling at a reasonable price. From my information only 10 per cent of the farmers are able to finance their present crop and also furnish funds for the growing of q crop next year. Infact. Mir. Editor. the moneyed men, who are also farmers. are the con servative men of our state. It is the farmer who has to mortgage his crop to get advances that Is the radical when it comes to planting large crops of cotton. It Is to restrain these farmers, through they may be .poor farmers that I am suggesting the plan of withholding credit to make a. crop of cotton the coming year
 The great war has practically stopped CTS will find trouble next season in float ing their mortgages. but this will not be known in time sufficient to give value to tn large crop now in the process of gatn- ering. This proposition of mine If adopt ed by the banks and merchants, would lend value at once to the cotton that is be- ing placed in their hands.
 I am aware that large crop has been made, but it would have been an easy proposition to properly. care for the ex- cess if it had not been for the deporable war in Europe that practically shuts off all demand from the countries engaged in that war. It Is these very countries which consume the bulk of our export cotton.
 had two objects in view when I wrote the communication outlining my plan. The first WAS by compuson, if neces- sary, to have the farmers to grow on their farms everything consumed by man and beast, and who will say aught against this proposition? The second was to re- lieve the bankers and merchants who had been advancing to the farmers. to en- able him to make this large crop of cot ton. At present the bankers and mer- chants are having this cotton delivered to them by their creditors and for the first time within the range of my recollection, this cotton cannot be sold.
 Do you know, MT. Editor. that the cost Of picking, baling, warehouse charges. ir- surance. etc., amounts to more than one third that bale of cotton Is now bring ing? These are facts. and they create a situation which the merchants and bank CTS have to look in the face. Without the immediate formulation and adoption of some effective. practical scheme to meet the condition we are facing. the inevitable result which awaits us will be disastrous In the extreme.

ATLANTA HAS NEW
 COTTON RELIEF PLAN
Includes Aid of Bankers and Reduction of
 Acreage

Atlanta, October 25.-Details of a plan for relief of the cotton situation, which includes the aid of southern bankers and business men in obtaining an effectual reduction of the 1915 plus in one year and the creation of a new era of diversified farming in the south, were announced here today by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. The plan is the outcome of a campaign con ducted by the local chamber during the last month and through which ma jority of the bank presidents in the cotton growing states--more than 5000 in number-have pledged financial aid to the farmers who reduce their 1915 crop one-half and substitute food crops for the other half.
 The bankers also promise to enlist the supply merchants in the plan.
 Leaders in the movement assert that 80 per cent of the cotton farmers are more or less dependent upon the bank CTS or supply merchants for credit each season, and in this, they point out, lies the significance of the bankers pledge
 ih movement was inaugurated by sending letters 10 all Dank pfesloehtS in the cotton section, explaining the plan and asking that a pledge of CO., operation be made. The pledge was as follows.
 My policy will be to extend finan- cial aid to those who cut down the 1915 cotton crop one-half and to dis courage in every proper way the plant ing of more than half this years acre age in cotton, the other half to be planted in grain and other food crops. will confer with the supply merchants of this community and urge them to adopt the same policy"
 Of the 3010 signed pledges sent in by bank presidents up to date. 725 were from Texas, 517 from Georgia, 443 from Oklahoma, 269 from Arkansas, 225 from Alabama. 19O from North Carolina, 177 from Mississippi. 16S from South Caro- lima, IA from Louisiana, 113 from Ten nessee. 69 scattering.

 Arriving at the woods just after dark the dogs soon had treed 'possum. or at least the hunters thought they had. They could see two eyeballs glowing like coals of fire on one of the branches, so Victor was called upon to climb the tree and shake the 'possum out. Dennis as sured him that the 'possum would keep or re.reating until he got to the end of the branch. then he could shake him of and the dogs would get him.
 Up the tree went Victor and soon he reached the branch whereon the two eyeballs glowered. He made a slap in the direction of the animal. but instead of retreating it made vicious snap with it's sharp teeth and came toward the hunter.
 Dennis the beast shows fight; what shall I do?H called Vic from aloft.
 Go after him. he won't hurt you" re- piled the hunt director.

 That's eoon.' yelled Dennis, "eome Gown quick
 Vic needed no second bidding for the coon evidently decided to get down from the tree also as he sprang toward his would-he captor and they both came down in hurry. It was difficult to de- tcrmine which got down first. As Vic brushed himself off he said very decid- eGly:
 "I have this much to say, Mir. Echols the next time you tell me to climb tree I don't go. 'possum or no possum.'
 The next possuna "treed" was in a hollow log that lay on the ground. The dogs parked and parked but could moi be induced to enter the log. so P. L. was instructed 10 split the log wide open. He wielded the ax right merrily while the others looked on. Soon he had an aper- ture cut near the end of the log. when suddenly out jumped the animal. About F o'clock that night three fig ures. clad in nothing but their union suits were seen dodging up the alleys of the city. and while passing electric light 1t was seer that the three union-suited figures were the three hunters that had started earlier in the evening to hunt possums. The reason for their scant at tire was, they had buried" their clothes ss the "'possum" they trapped in the hollow log turned out to be skunk.

WEEKLY COTTON
 GOODS REVIEW

New York, October 25.-Cotton goods markets have been generally dull and traders do not look for permanent i'm prcvement until cotton conditions are more settled. Offers to buy goods for delivery on contract are held up by tho inability of mills to hedge on cotton purchases, or to receive assurances of securing cotton at prices demanded by the low bids made for the goods
 Some business has been accepted on heavy goods for long future delivery at prices based on 7-cent cotton. but it has been of limited character. Duck has been selling more freely for home and foreign consumption. Brown sheetings and gray goods are at very loM prices but are not being purchased we'll. Prints and colored goods are being held at steady prices through the inability to secure ad- dittonal supplies of dyestuffs.
 Jobbers are not operating for future de- livery on many goods, partly because of financial conditions and aagin because of uncertainty concerning values A partial revision has been made on bleached cot tons. The irregularity of values con- tinues a marked feature of the cloth markets and there has been an increas- ing volume of cultailment reported in manufacturing centers.
 Prices are as follows: Print cloths. 2S- inch 64x64s. 3 cents; 64x60s, 2K cents: 3S1k-inch, 64x6fs, 3M cents; denims, g ounce, 12h cents; tickings, s ounce. 1S cents; standard prints. 62 cents; staple ginghams, G.4 cents; dress ginghams, sh cents.
