squat down in sitting position, as far as you can go and then straighten up again. Twenty-Five times will tire the average lad, while fifty will be the limit of most high school gym men. Remember. to quit when you are tired. Do not wait until you are exhausted or you will have done yourself actual harm. Contrast the miserable fifty times that your legs will stand licking raise your clenched hands. The arms will win by about ten to one. You may say that the arms do not have to support anything, while the leg muscles hold up the body. This is partly the reason, but think of the calf muscles and the enormous work they perform in comparison. By all means get those thigh muscles linn bered up. Kicking practise is just the thing for grace and speed as we'll as strength.
 The device shown consists of a tin pot-cover suspended from the ceiling by chain that passes through pull ley. The ceiling pulley is marked 'X," the wall pulley "Y'' and the weight to keep the pan balanced "Z." By mailing yard stick to the wall right back of the chain you can keep track of your progress as kicker. If you have no rule, chalk lines drawn across the chain line will do. You will no doubt be able to gain steadily for a month or so. This is good exer- else for a sprinter, high jumper or basketball player. It will keep you limbered up in fine shape and make you realize that there is some truth in the saying that life is worth liv- ing."-American Boy.

 Long time ago, after the animals came down to this world from the world above the arch of the sky to ind more room for themselves, men came into the world, too. For a great many years, the animals and men ived together as friends; they talked with one another and held their coun- :ils together.
 But after they had lived on this earth very long time, there wasn't .oom enough for all of the animals o quarrel. Men learned how to make BOWS and arrows. knives, blowguns, ,pears and hooks, and then they be- gan to kill the. animals to get their lesh to eat and their skins to wrap themselves in.,
 We must do something about this, ' aid the Great Beaver, and he called council, but no men were allowed to one.
 One after another, the animals told ow they were hunted by man. The atfish said that he caught on a hook nee, but got away, and his brother ad been killed with spear. A mother quirrel had seen one of her children hooked out of a tree by a man with a lowgun. The knife had been used on he wild pigs, who were not wild then, nd the bears were afraid of the bows nd arrows.
 "The best thing to do is to make war, n man." said the Great Beaver. when e had heard all of the complaints.
 Who will lead the fight on man?" .sked the rabbit. T think it must be ome one who is very strong"
 Let the bears make war first" said he Great Beaver.
 What shall we use to fight with ?'' asked young bear, who had never been hunted.
 Bows and arrows. of course." said an old bear.

The 1913 Cotton Crop Was Most Val

The 1913 Cotton Crop Was Most Val
 uable Ever Produced.
 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, 1t being worth $1,O43,76O,0OO.
 The quantity of cotton ginned from the 1913 crop, counting round as half bales and excluding linters, was 13,- 9S2,S11 running bales, or 14,156,4s6 bales of 500 lbs. gross weight. Cotton seed produced was 6,305, 900 tons, of which 4,575,508 tens were crushed. The value of the cotton is estimated at $S87, 100000 and of the seed $150,- 600,OO0.
 An interesting feature of the 1913 production was the crop of the Im- perial valley, in southern California, where 22,838 bales were grown. It 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 50,000 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 a large increase, variously esti- mated at from 12,0O0 to 15,000 acres.

 Washington.-Production 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 1913 was 25,885, $40 barrels, against 26.33S,516 barrels in the preceding year. The value of the product, however, was $43,619.617, an increase of 1858 per cent over 1912. The average price per barrel increased from $1.63 in 1912 to $2.46 in 1913.
 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.

 Washington. = Dr. Joseph Tabor Johnson in a speech before the Keep wells" of fashionable St. Johns Epis- copal church, told the women mem bers that modern diaphanous drap- cries were much more conducive to health than the heavy clothing of the past. He said that airy X-ray waists and angel sleeves allow the air to ventilate the body. Many members of society and official Washington pre- sent listened to the lecture while their necks and shoulders gleamed through their gauzy summer dresses.

CHAPTER xvIIl-contInued.

CHAPTER XVlll.-Continued.
 "I am afraid,"' said the Count von Werdenstein, "that he is preparing surprise for us. I do not like his si- lence."
 "Or is he simply enjoying a long honeymoon was Rositta's sarcastic comment
 But the count shook his head doubt fully. =
 A year had almost passed when the first European aerodromone was fin ished and ready for its trial trip. It was as perfect as mechanical genius could make it.
 Count von Werdenstein had invited several reigning monarchs to attend the trial flight and Suemeg rivaled the ancient Roman pageants in splendor. Only a few besides the royal specta- tors were allowed on the plateau near the aerodromone plant. The police compelled the uniformed thousands who lived in the neighborhood to keep respectful distance.
 Santos DupreFs heart beat high when he and Rositta stepped1nto the waiting machine. Rositta had decorat- ed this first aerodromone with gor- geous princely crown, and it glittered bravely in the morning sum-
 Rositta was clever and studied the aerodromone under Santos direction until she was expert in it's control and manufacture. When they entered the aerodromone, Santos went to the wheel, moved the starting lever and the wings rose slowly, then swooped downward, causing the machine to rise swiftly and surely. Everything worked exactly as desired and the ma chine soon disappeared from the view of the watchers, behind bank of clouds
 They went up and swan in the feecy clouds that billowed in the gold en sunshine. They reached an enor- nous height, then Santos reversed the machine, turned off the power and they slid downward. Rositta stood by his side, embracing him with one arm. In her exuberance she reached up with her free hand and pulled the lever that emptied the brass recep- tacle; binding flash came, striking downward, zigzagging through the
  clouds, and mighty thunder echoed through space.
 She realized her might, and in that moment of intoxicating delight she dreamed a dream-she saw herself as the ruler of the world,
 Flow long will it take to have twen- ty machines like this, Santos ?" asked Rositta, eagerly.
 Five or six months, my queeni"
 Then, then we will see" Her eyes glittered strangely with fire that was not love.
 When they landed on the spot from where they ascended, the Emperor oi Germany handed Santos Duprel the parchment with the great imperial seal attached, and said: Count von Duprel, I want to be the first to con graduate you"
 An hour later the newly made Count von Duprel was receiving the matri monial blessing from the court vicar The crowned heads were happy to wit ness the marriage ceremony.

 RETURN TO CITY
Arkansas Prominent at National Con-
 ference ill Memphis.

Misses Julia Houston, Rosalie Phil pot and Henrietta Taylor returned yesterday from Memphis where they spent the week attending the national conventions of the Conference of Charities and Corrections, the Red Cross society and other organizations as the representatives of the local Associated Charities.
 Miss Houston says Arkansas made an excellent showing at the confer ence, there being twenty-nine pres ent from this state. Arkansas had a larger representative than any other Southern state, save Tennessee. and stood ninth in the list. M. A. Auer- back of Little Rock was prominent, delivering two addresses.
 The delegates from Pine Bluff say considerable attention was devoted to a discussion of the county iails and city prisons, and the needs for these being kept in sanitary condition. The concensus of opinion, emnhaslZed throughout the conference. was that youthful delinquents should under no circumstances be confined in county \ jails and city prisons.
