THHIE RECORD or OUR TROOPS.

The United States close their occu- patton of the port of Vera Cruz with a fine record. Where a large body Of men are lying around idle, there must be a strong temptation to habits of vice. The easy going life of tropi- cal cities would make such soIicita.- tions available. The enervating c1i- mate would provoke an appetite for stimulants
 Furthermore, there must be much that is irritating in the Mexican tenn perament, a comp of swagger and insincerity. American soldiers would need much self-restraint to keep their hands off some of these insulting fei- lows.
 Yet no complaint of excess in these directions has reached this country. Instead, the troops seem to have been popular in Vera Cruz. They at once took hold to improve sanitary condi- tions, and that city must have had the healthiest summer it ever enjoy ed There may be a good deal of in efficiency in the way our army Is equipped, but in the spirit manifested by it's officers and men, it is superb. sA,.<. r...v-4

PARIS RESUMES SOMETHING OF
 FORMER ASPECT
Since the Retreat of the Germans from Vicinity of French Capital, City to Great Extent Recovers It's Natural Aspect

PARIS, Oct. 25.-Since the retreat of the city has to a great extent recovered its natural aspect, except for numerous closed shops. some of which are still boarded up and carry on their fronts a varied collection of official postefS emanating from the military govern ment announcing mobilization, details from the department of public instruc- ton relating to the reopening of the schools, from the prefect of the Seine advising housewives to see that their fruits and vegetables are washed in water previously boiled, and other hy- gienic and administrative measures.
 The reopening of the primary schools has brought out the usual number of pupils In accordance with instruc- tions from the department of public instruction the session was opened by the teachers with a patriotic address to the pupils reviewing in simple words the causes of the war and the necessity for fathers and brothers to be absent fighting for their country.
 The department of public instruction is arranging for the organization of eX- aminations so as to avoid, so far as possible the loss of year to students who are unable to present themselves this year on account of absence at the front. It is understood that medical students will be permitted next year to take two years examinations in one.

Unbiased judgment compels me to say the speeches of Young, Nelson and Alexander are the highest class being made by any of the speakers of any of the parties Young is breaking into the Hunt vote and breaking in fast and hard. No intelligent voter can deny his logic Nelson meets with immediate favor wherever he talks and there would be no doubt of his election had he just Smith in opposition.

Prominent English Trade Paper Says Cotton Will Shortly Be in Demand in Quantities Insuring Grow CTS Against Loss
WARRING COUNTRIES
 PRINCIPAL USERS
Spinners Indignant Because of Closing of Markets and Advise the Early Elimina- tion of the Liverpool Cot ton Dealers
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1


 LONDON, Oct. 25.-Discussing the plight of American cotton growers. the , Cotton Factory Times, a prominent English trade paper, says: Tt is to be hoped that, for their sakes as well as ours, the planters will get through without serious loss. The call for cot ton will come in due time, and it is essential in the general interest that it should then be forthcoming in suffi- cient quantities, which could hardly be the case if the growers were ruined or very severely hit at the present time" The World Record has prepared table, based on figures of the Interna- tional Cotton Federation, which show that about one-half of the cotton pro- duced in America for the year ended l September l, 1913, was used by the countries now at war. Great Britain Germany, France, Austria, Russia, Bel- gum and Japan are represented as | consuming 7,534.934 bales out of total | of 14,503,757 bales. Italy, Spain, Port lugal, Holland, Sweden, Denmark and | Norway, which took 1,193,SS7 bales of cotton in 1913, are also more or less
 seriously affected by the war.
 | Cotton spinners at Manchester were
 much disgruntled by the action of the Federation of Master Cotton Spinners' associations in running short time. For time serious labor troubles were threatened. But conditions in the cot ton market have now become so bad that complete suspension of cotton manufacturing plants seems imminent
 unless the government finds some way to offer relief.
 Spinners are indignant over the con- tinued closure of the Liverpool cotton
 market and have inspired efforts to effect direct business relations between the growers and consumers of cotton, thus eliminating the Liverpool cotton dealers. The Manchester Guardian and other prominent papers located in cot ton manufacturing centers, while ad- mitting that such plan might be de- sirable, say it would require long time to handle cotton direct because of the great amount of machinery re- quired to take care of it properly and
 the necessity for the careful grading WHICH LlNeTpOol uedleTS nave
 Speaking of the proposed elimination of Liverpool interests from the cotton
 trade, the Cotton Factory Times says: Cotton planters in America have al
 ready considered the necessity of pro tecting themselves against the Liver 1 pool interests, and it is reported that they have decided that no cotton shall be planted next year. This is of course
 meant as warning that if their stocks of materials are not taken off their
 hands now a greatly enhanced price
 will be charged for it later on.
 Opinions may differ as to whether some of the present dislocation of trade
 could not be avoided. but it is daily be-
 coming more clear that there are too
 many conflicting interests at work in
 the business, which makes it very diff
 ficult for trade to move, and those in
 terests seem bent on blaming each oth-

 "To the south and west of Lille spirited attacks by the enemy have been repulsed Between Cise and Argonne there is nothing to report except several small advances by our troops to the northwest of Soissons, in the region of Craonne.
 "On the heights of Mouse there was an artillery engagement. In Ire Woevre region our heavy artillery holds today under it's fire the road connecting Thiaucourt, Nonsard, BuXehelles and Joinville, which is one of the principal lines of communica- ton of the Germans near St. Mihiel. It was reported yesterday that in the Argonne region an entire regiment of German infantry was annihilated during the operations, which rX- tended to the woods to the north of Lachalade.

 "The battle of Mullen eventually resulted in a virtual annihilation of the gallant little body of Belgian fighters but it meant the salvation of the Belgian army and their al- lies.

EARNING A LIVING
ON A SINGLE ACRE

In the current issue OF Farm and
Fireside, Charles A. Byers writes an
interesting article In which he shows
how certain farmers in California are
making comfortable living from an
acre OF ground and in some instances
from fraction OF an acre. Following
Is an extract from the article:
Sometimes a lot will be planted ex.
clusiyely TO some one vegetable or to
marketable flowers, but In most cases
variety OF garden truck Is grown.
As an illustration, the tiller OF a half
acre lot at Monte Vista during the past
season tells me that he planted pota'
toes, sweet corn, peas. three kinds oil
beans, cucumbers, melons, squash
(seyeral varieties), tomatoes, sweet
potatoes, beets, carrots, onions, let
tuce and kale. Rotation OF crops IL
carefully planned. and in this way the
productiyeness OF the soil is utilized
to the greatest degree.
MANY OF the farmers devote con
siderable attention to raising crickens
and eggs for the market. and the milk
cream and butter produced by the
colonies are supplied by the Toggen
berg and Nubian goats"
