1E MILLION BALES
LATEST COTTON ESTIMATE.

The cotton crop OF 1914, growth
exclusive of lintes, is estimated
by the Commercial Appeal at
14,9ss,790 running bales.
These figures are based ON a
careful canvass of the belt and
represent the ideas of a large
body of correspondents. Assum-
ing that the figures are approx
mately correct this years crop is
but little short of the record made
in 1911. Activity of boil weeyIl
and other insect pests, extreme
drouth in the central valley and
the low price at which cotton is
selling, which may result in more
than the usual amount being left
in the fields, are factors which
have initiated against a record
yield.
Generally speaking farmers ate
holding their cotton for higher
prices, where they are financial
ly able to do so. There are
many, however, who will be ready
TO part with their holdings
should the price go TO figure
that would cover the cost Of
production.
Although it is, of course, ilu-
possible TO get definite data on
the probable reduction of acreage
another year, correspondents are
Practically unanimous in stating
hat the 1915 acreage will b.
raically reduced unless something
happens TO greatly enhance pres
ent values of cotton.

AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY

We know "A man IN our neigh
borhood that We call a good cIti.
zen lie has never set the world
on fire and has travelled about
hut little, and is hardly known
outside the confines Of Hickman
His name does not often appear
in print and he has never stood
forth and bowed 10 the applause
If crowd OF admirers Bat
when a neighbor is sick this man
drops around to ask If there Is
anything be- can do. II a public
enterprise is on he always con.
tributes literally and in keeping
with his position and income.
When friend is laid away to
the dremmleSs sleep. he always
goes Ia drop "A final tear on the
bier, and ~ he walks slowly home
after the last rites he always
manages to say q good word a.
bout the departed. He is fair
and decent and honest IN his
business relations He knows
that he is simply a private and
he does not try 10 wear the gold
buttons of colonel and shout
himself hoarse giving orders We
say such citizen is worth a
thousand of the fourflushsrS who
wear a red sash and howl while
the crowd is about and then stink
away when the shadows begin TO
lengthen and the people have
dispersed.

BEWARE OF THE RABBIT.

1t will be the part of wisdom
for people to forego the pleasur'
OF eating rabbits this winter, or
at least until it is definitely de
cided whether they convey diph-
liberia to the human family. In
two Kentucky counties, where
diphtheria is an epidemic, il is
declared that bunny caused the
disease. The matter is being in.
vestigated and it seems that there
is foundation for the truthful
ness of the statement. SO the
best and safest thing TO do is to
forego the pleasure of eating
rabbits.

Governor Of Minnesota Is Defeated For

ST. Paul, June Ex-Governor Eber-
hart was defeated in his race for the
republican denomination for governor,
and w E. Lee his opponent was vic

judging from returns last night from
Tuesdays state wide primary election.
-Altho returns from less than half the
total voting precincts were available
late figures from the country districts

for the democratic gunernatorial nom

Stoeksrs and Feeders.

Chicago, June 1S.-A very moderate
fresh run Of stocker and feeder steers
contrasted with heavy supplies Whlch
were dumped on tn emarket last Neo-
nesday. ard by reason of this there was
fairly good general action in the trade.
Steady prices got bulk of medium and
plain grades compared with MONDAY
and Tuesday levels, but there was
stronger undertone to the trade for
right good to choice grades. than noted
Monday and last week Yard dealers
had quite moderate supply which
they carried from earlier days this week
and found fair country demand for all
their stuff.
A better condition of pastures in
many sections following rains of last
week is chief stimulus to demand at
this time. but still there is minus any
of the rush to get hold of thin cattle,
such as characterized the trade month
ago, even tho the general market is
down 60@f5c. and in some cases even
more, compared with the high point
this season. Buyers are looking at con-
ditions from a different angle now.
Failure of beef steer trade to establish
high prices which many had expected
would InateriaiiZe in June has had eff
feet in curbnig the demand. and, too,
the continued strong competition from
imported beef likely to be 4 factor for
months ahead has taken some of the
bullish sentiment out of the situation
as regards future prices.
Conservatism is the general rule now.
and altho there are many pastures short
Of cattle in the east. as we'll as near by
western trade, and also west of the
Missouri river, prospect of prices being
worked materially higher than current
levels now seems remote. A dry spell
would again force lot of stuff off pas
lures. There are still many sections
which have not had the benefit of rains
and owners of cattle are thus worrying
over their grass crop and shortage of
old corn is causing lot of uneasiness.
Eight cents is practical top of the
trade now, that price being paid for
choice yearling stockers. and on Tues
day drove of high-bred 9o5-pound
steers also made the money. Some right
good i1o0- pound feeders sold at s7.s5
and fair to good feeder class sold at
$f.35 47.10, while bulk of medium to
good stockers went within a range of
$f.35GI.lo and decent light stocker
class around 81. with commonly bred
100pound kind at $40 and the failing
stock heifers and cows was still short
and recent strong price declines pre-
vailed ali along the line.

Late Returns Increase Lees Lead.

st. Paul, June ls.-Belated returns
from Minnesota's statewide primary
election swelled Daniel LAWYERS lead
over Congressman W. S. Hammond, to
nearly 300 votes in the contest for the
democratic gubernatorial nomination.
w. E. Lees majority over w. S.
Eberhart was increased by late returns
and most of the governors supporters
conceded his defeat.
Three republican congressional con-
tests were taken from the doubtful
column by returns last night and today.
The nominations in these districts are:
Sixth-C. A. Lindbergh, Little Falls:
Second. Frank Ellsworth, Mankato;
