THE PASSING OF
 QUAKER SPEECH
fIndianapolls star.)

(Indianapolis Star. At a Friends meeting in Phi1ade1-s phia the other day several speakers expressed regret that the distinctive
 Quaker speech, known as the 'plain language was going so rapidly out of use. It was asserted that the gen. tIeness that distinguished it made it especially desirable and effective and that the influence of Friends was in
 a measure decreased by its abandon ment.
 Doubtless this view is correct The Quaker speech. now so rarely. heard, was always much liked by people not members of the sect because it was associated with calmness and serenity of manner. Probably this serenity was 8 quality not dependent on the Ian guage used, but WAS matter Of tenn perament and habit, but it seemed an
 essential accompaniment of the gentle "thee and thou" and other peculiar
 forms of address. As used, this Qua ker speech was not strictly gramrnat- icAI-s-thee is'' for example, being op- en to objection if any one ever thought of it in a critical way. Nevertheless
 "thee iss' had it's charm.
 The passing of the Quaker costume was also spoken of with some regret, yet those who lamented it's disappear ance were not insistent on it's readop- ton. Apparently they saw no especial connection between the plain garb andi the plain language, yet there undoubt- edly is one. The speech is expected from wearers of the distinctive cos- tuneEthe straight, severe gowns and the close fitting bonnets, and loses it's effectiveness when 1t comes from the lips of a woman arrayed in fashionable attire. The change in dress was urged by the young generation of Quakers on the plea that the old fashions set them apart from their neighbors and
 were hindrance. Perhaps they did
 not mean to give up the quaint speech also, but it's Sisuse was inevitable. It does not belong with worldly dress.

ARIZONA RAISING COTTON.
The 1918 Cotton Crop Was Most VAL
liable Ever Produced

uaDle ever frOOuCeo.
Washington.-Final figures on the
1913 cotton crop, announced by the
census bureau, place it as the largest
the United States has ever grown.
with the exception of that of 1911 At
the same time the estimate of the to-
tai value of the crop shows it was the
most valuable ever produced, it being
worth S1,043,760,0O0.
The quantity of cotton ginned from
the 1913 crop, counting round as half
bales and excluding linters, was 49,
9S2.S11 running bales, or 14,156,4s6
bales of 500 lbs. gross weight. Cotton
seed produced was 6,305,O tons. of
which 4,575,5OS IONS were crushed
The value of the cotton is estimated
at SSS7.160,000 and of the seed $780,
100000.
An interesting feature of the 1918
production was the crop of the I'm
perial valley, in southern California.
where 22,S3S bales were grown. 1t
has been reported the acreage planted
this year in the Imperial valley will
show a large increase. while the pro-
duction is estimated at from $4,000 to
100000 bales. Last years production
was more than double that of any pre-
vious year there, where commercial
growing of cotton has been in progress
only few years.
Another feature was the production
in Arizona, where 2.299 bales were
ginned. the largest part OF which
possessed the same characteristics as
that grown in Egypt. The 1914 area
shows large increase, variously esti-
mated at from 10000 to $4,000 acres.

LAST FOURTH OF JULY

Last Fourth of July was only six,
A regular little chump,
! got into a dreadful fix.
You see there was a stump
In our back yard, where l used to play
All sorts Of things alone;
On Sundays twas a pulpit
On week days twas throne.
! was preacher Sundays,
And the pickets on the fence
Were the people that I preached to,
But didn't preach no sense.
On other days ! was king.
The pickets were my people.
/ wore golden paper crown
All pointed like steeple.
Well Fourth of July my cousin Bob
Came from the great big town,
With crackers, punk and fireworks
To do the Fourth up brown.
I told him how I was king,
He is bigger some than me,
And he said we would have a siege,
The stump would be my fort.
And he would try to blow 1t up,
He said twas lots OF sport
So I got up upon the stump.
And the crackers in a row
He piled up thick around the foot,
You should have heard 1t blow!
The stump caught fire, lost my head.
My father carried me to bed.
I stayed in bed long. long time,
All bandaged-'twasn't fun.
I'm big this year-you needn't smile,
I'm not 30 big chump,
And II we have another siege
Bob can sit on the stump.

OIL OUTPUT is SMALLER.
Tho Price Advance in 1912 stImu-
lated DriIlinq.

Washington.-Prod of petro-
leum in the Appalachian oil field de-
clined 1.72 per cent or 452,S76 barrels
in 1913, compared with 1912. Figures
by the Geological Survey show that
the total output in 1918 was 25,SS5, GAO
barrels, against 26,33S,516 barrels in
the preceding year. The value of the
product, however. was $43,619,617, an
Increase of 4S.5S per cent over 1912.
The average price per barrel increased
from $1.63 in 1912 to $2.46 in 1918.
The increase in the price OF petro-
leum, which began at the end of 1912,
resulted in stimulating drilling activ-
ity in all Appalachian states, which
embrace New York, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky.

few passages were expunged which, 1t
feared. might give offense to Americas much
needed friends in the mother country.
On the Fourth of July all the delegates except
those of New York (whose representatives signed
few days later) had appended their names to
the document and had pledged their lives, their
fortunes and their sacred honor in the cause of
liberty. Then came the moment for the Song OF
the Bella song whose reverberations shall not
cease till the last page of American history has
been written
Truly prophetic was the biblical motto which
Isaac Norris is said to have chosen for the bell:
Proclaim liberty. throughout the land and to all
the Inhabitants thereof" And rapturousy did
the assembled multitude and the distant patriots
receive the announcement OF the bell, that at
last the 13 colonies had become the 13 United
States. and the days Of the dominion of the for.
eign oppressor were forever past.
