Miss Azalea Shipley read THE Gift
of the Magi" in the recital given by
the music and eIocution pupils OF
Western Maryland College on Friday,
January 23. The selection, from O.
Henry, was most beautiful one, con
tanning all the humor, pathos and
quaint whimsicality which this author
uses 50 effectively. Miss Shipley sue
ceeded in making her audience feel
every change i'm the emotions OF the
two chief characters, d man and a
woman determined to give one an
other a Christmas present which
should be worthy. Miss Shipley's
work was very difficult from the fact
that all the beauty of the selection
lay below its surface and had to be-
made evident through the talent OF its
interpreter and her success entities
her to the entire amount OF praise
she is receiving.
Miss Eloise Miller appeared IA the
nrst recital OF the year given by the

WATCH FOR THAT
WEAK SPOT
A Cough or Cold Hits it
Every Time.
1t May Bring ON tuberculosis FOrtify
Yourself by Taking Bears Emulsion.

How are we to keep from getting
consumption If our lungs are weak?
By taking good care of yourself
Never let your system get i'm run
down, weak, nervous condition. Never
let a cough linger on from day to day
no matter how little it may bother you.
Try to get rid of getting cold and al
lowing it to attack enc spot every time
on little exposure. Get remedy
that will build up that spot, strength
Ell II and make it as strong as any
other part of the Lody. The tuber-
culosis germ only attacks the weak
places and if we have no weak spots
the germ is thrown out of the body
again. Bears Emulsion sold by
Charles W. Moore. 1t is recommended
to build up the system and lungs 80
as to fortify us against this germ.
And as I have read SO many testimon-
ia1s from different people Of Rocking

one of the best for run down system
and weak lungs.

RANsDELL FORCES FIGHT BILL
Proposed Amendment to Fontenot
Measure Meeting With Opposition.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Baton Rouge.-A political row broke
out in the House of Representative
following the adoption of an amend
ment to the Fontenot sensational cleo
tion bill that makes the successor of
United States Senator Joseph E.
Ransdell elective in 1916
Supporters of Senator Ransdell
started the row and are threatening
to carry the fight to the floor of the
House when the Fontenot bill comes
up for engrossment by attempting to
kill the committee amendment making
the next Senator elective in 1916.
When the Fontenot bill was taken
up in the committee on Registration
and Elections Mr.. Gilmore of st. Mary
offered an amendment providing that
the successor OF the Senator whose
term expires first shall be elected at
the congressional election in Noyem-
Der, 1916, and every six years there
after. Mr.. Gilmore explained his
amendment briefly, and it was adopt
ed without debate, no one speaking
against it.
AS the vote on the amendment was
announced by Chairman Powell, Repre-
sentative Hamley Of East Carroll, the
home of Senator Ransden, entered the
room and asked the purpose of it.
Mr.. Gilmore explained it to him, and
the incident was closed as far as the
committee was concerned. A favorable
report was ordered on the bill as
amended, and it was placed On the
calendar of the house for engross-
ment later in the day.

THE 1878 COTTON CROP SECOND LARGEST
The Production Was Worth $1,043,,
100000, Including Seed-Other Fig
ures Bearing on Crops.

Washington.-Fina figures on the
1913 cotton crop announced Thursday
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 estimate Of
the total value of the crop shows it
was the most valuable ever produced,
it being worth $1,O43,76O,OOO
The, quantity of cottosa 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 pounds gross weight,
Cotton seed produced was 6,305,000
tons, of which 4,579,50S tons were
crushed.
The value of the cotton Is estimated
at $685., 100000 and Of the seed 1885,
100000.
An interesting feature of the 1913
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 large increase, while the pro-
duction is variously estimated at from
$4,000 to 100000 bales. Last years
production was more than double that
of any previous year there, where
commercial growing of cotton has
been in progress only few years.
Another feature was the production
in Arizona, where 1929 bales were
ginned, the largest part of which pos
sessed sthe same characteristics as
that grown in Egypt.
The 1914 area shows a large In
crease, variously estimated at from
10000 to $4,000 acres.
