ENGLAND TO GUY ALL
HER COTTON IN EGYPT

Washington, Oct. 12.-Sir Cecil Ar
thur Spring-Rice, Great Britains am
bassador, informed Secretary Bryan
today that England would purchase
all her cotton in Egypt this year ow-
ing to the crop of that country being
distressed by the war. The secre-
tary was further informed that Eng
land would deal similarly with all its
colonies in the matter of both cotton
and copper. Just how much this will
reduce the expectations from the
United States can not be determined,
but it Is assumed that the Great Brit
ain policy will be to take all the cot
ton her colonies have available.
The United States exports to Eng
land about three and half million
bales under ordinary times. This
years crop OF Egypt is 100000 bales
being slightly above the normal Weld.
there remaining from last year about
Two hundred thousand bales.

WAS NOT ExAcfLY AJoY RIDE
Presence of Mind Saved Kickapoo
Man From Heavy Fall

The Readstown Tribune tells that
John j. Midthun suffered very serious
and painful injuries to bis hands by get
ting caught in q hey rope and pulley
while unloading hay on his fam in
Black Bottom, Mr.. Midthun taking
charge of the fork and the boy driving
the team. When the team started Mr..
Midthun discovered that the rope was
twisted and in attempting to straighten
it out his hands were drawn into the
pulley, and he was carried along with
the forkful Of hay to the top of the
barn and from there along the peak at
a height of thirty feet. with the rope
burning and tearing his hands all the
way. With all the excruciating pain
torturing him on his unwilling trip to
this height he had mental presence
enough to plan and execute his escape
from the fall that would seem emmi-
nent at the end of his journey when his
hands should be released. Accordingly
he caught the rope with his leg and
gave it turn around it as a sailor in
ships rigging, and as his hands were
released he caught the rope in the
crooks of his arm and thus assembled to
the floor in safety. DR. Galloway found
it necessary to amputate one index
finger at the first joint On some of
the other fingers the flesh was torn
away to the bones, the cords severed
and badly burned
