Emil Thirty Says Mcfarland Is

When II was learned that McAllister

and that Mike stopped the coast crack

and muttering that Mcfarland at last
had made a bad match and was in
for certain licking
Naturally. We wanted to know what
Emil Thirty, manager, and Packey
himself thought about it. A report
was circulated that Mcfarland would
crawl out of the match. His trainer,
Ike Bernstein, was said to have re-
marked that Thirty had made a mis-
take in signing the articles. SO when
we got hold of Thirty last night we
we're mildly surprised as he unbur-
dened himself of the following con-
versatOn,

not. We are more determined than

That does not mean that he is posi-
tive that he will win He knew be-
fore the McAllister fight just how
good Mike was. He knows now, as he
knew then. that he has the fight of
his life on his hands. He will get
ready, too for a desperate conflict,

Why?

"Gentleman," began an innocent

couple Of men waiting on a corner
for a car. Il was kicked by a cow
few weeks ago, and l find that my
memory is not what it was. Perhaps
you will answer a question

ing to the Pittsburg Dispatch.
"If hadn't been kicked by cow,
1 shouldn't have to trouble YOU"
"Oh, no trouble at all"
"She kicked me IN the back of the

once"
"Yes?"
and it was two days later before

"Yes, but the question you wanted
to ask?"
Eyes, the question. Sure it won't
bother you to answer?'
"Certainly it won't"
"The gentlemen. for what reason
do we celebrate Hallowe'en?'
The men looked down, and then
looked up, and then looked at each
other. Thus for a long minute and
then they turned away and left the
man who had been kicked by COW.
They couldn't answer his question.

TRAVELLING IN PIANO BOX.
Boys Had made 1t Into Cozy Flat for
Far Journey.

Three Binghamton lads started for
the Pacific coast on November 13
with a piano box for their convey
ance and the Erie railroad furnish
ing the motive power, but got only
as far as Chicago. They are How'll
lizard Edward Montague, chauffeur;
Carl Epsy, machinist, and William
Fox, druggists clerk.
Montague, who had been featured
in local newspapers as the inventor
of a new type Of submarine, offers
for which had been made by Great
Britain and Japan, told his friends
that he had been left $4,000 by the
will of an uncle who had died re-
Gently in Alemeda, CAL, and that he
was going to make the trip there in
style. Two days later he and his
two companions were pulled out of
the piano box in the Erie railroad
freight house in Chicago.
The box was marked This Side
Up," and addressed ID. NJ. Spencer,
Whittier, Los Angeles, CAL" On ar
rival in Chicago safely it was put in
the freight house for transfer. Just
as William Schimmell, night watch
man, was making his rounds head
popped out Of piano box not more
than ten feet away.
Have you got any water around
here?" inquired the head.
Schimmell didn't stop to hear
more, but notified his chief.
The head tried to explain that he
had three vicious snakes in the box,
but it didn't work.
Examination showed that the box
had been carefully padded and COM
partments for food installed. Under
the false floor were water tanks and
breakfast food, condensed milk, ba-
con and coffee. A small alcohol stove
and a frying pan with an equipment
of tin plates and forks completed the
layout. A small storage battery
furnished current for an incandes-
cent light.-Binghamton On. YD

TO STUDY COTTON DEMAND.
Secretary McAdoo Seeking to Learn
Actual Demands.

The worlds need for cotton at the
present time and the estimated de-
mand for next year is to be the sub
ject of an investigation by state de-
partment officials, says Washington
dispatch of yesterday. The treasury
partment tonight announced that
Secretary McAdoo had requested Sec
retary Bryan to secure all possible in
formation on this subject.
United States consuls have been in
structed to make careful investiga-
ton.
The report from the consuls will be
compiled here each month and prob
ably will be made public for the use
of cotton producers. The treasury
statement says:
Secretary McAdoo has requested
Secretary Bryan to make an inquiry,
through American consuls in all parts
of the world, regarding the actual de-
mand for cotton at this time and the
calculated demand for 1915.
Accurate information regarding
cotton consumption will be valuable
as it will give an intelligent idea as to
the demand and will permit the for
nation of correct judgment as to the
economic value of cotton. The Sec
retary Of state and the secretary Of
commerce are cooperating with the
secretary Of the treasury to get re!ia-
Bile information of this character and
the figures when received will be
published. Reports by the consuls
will be made beginning the first of
December and on the first Of
each month following.
I'm prosecuting this inquiry, Sec
retary Bryan has instructed all con-
suls by cable to make a careful in
vestigation and report, beginning the
first of December, and monthly there
after, of statistics relating to the
stocks of raw cotton and cotton
goods in mills and warehouses COM
pared with the same period last
year: the present rate of cotton
manufacture a month, together with
the number of spindles engaged and
the number of persons employed; !;
and information showing the COM
parative stocks of cotton goods and
comparative estimate of the pur-
chases of cotton goods for delivery
during 1915. The consuls in Egypt,
India, China and Russia have been
instructed to report the most reliable
estimates Of the cotton yield for
1914.

LOSE LATEST MOVE.
Atlanta Man is Denied Writ of Ha-
betS Corpus.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 19.-Leo NJ.
Frank, condemned to be hanged Jan
uary % next for the murder in April,
1913, of Mary Phagan, was refused a
writ of habeas corpus by Federal
Judge w. T. Newman here today. A
motion was Immediately made by
Franks attorneys, requesting an ap-
peal from today's decision to the
United States supreme court. Judge
Newman withheld action on the mo-
tion until Monday.
There was some confusion with re-
gard to the appeal and it was at first
announced that Judge Newman had
granted it. The judge stated tonight,
however, that he announced at the
close of the hearing late today that
he was inclined to grant the ap-
peal" Later, it was said, the federal
law enacted in 1908 requiring fed
eral Judge granting an appeal in
habeas corpus proceedings to issue
a certificate stating his opinion that
there was probable cause for an ap-
peal, was brought to the courts at
tention in chambers, and he Informed
the attorneys that he would hold his
decision on the matter in obeyance
until Monday.
Constitutional Rights.
The writ was sought on the ground
that Franks, constitutional rights
were violated in that he was "invol-
unfairly absent" from the court room
when the verdict was announced. At
torneys Henry C. Peoples and Harry
Alexander, on Franks behalf, argued
tha the Georgia State courts lost
Jurisdiction of the case when he was
denied the right to face the jury at
the elimination of his trial. They
contended that Frank is being de-
prived of his liberty under q convic-
ton and Judgment which was render
ed void by reason of the trial court S
action. They argued that the ques-
ton was not one involving State
courts procedure. but one, for the
Jurisdiction of the federal courts.

The Result of One-Crop System.

The present agricultural troubles
of the South are not due to our crops,
soils or climate, but to a faulty sys-
tenn. Such a system has always fall
ed; not so much, however, because
of over-production, or that all the
eggs have been in one basket, as
that a onie-crop system always means
poor soil and low crop yields.
If we had a reasonable assurance
that every acre planted in oats would
produce fifty to sixty bushels, every
acre in corn forty to fifty bushels,
and every acre in cotton bale OF
500 pounds, we could snap our fn-
gers at six-cent cotton, feeling con-
fident of prosperity in times Of war
as we'll as in times Of peace.
If our present troubles, whatever
hardships they may have in store for
US, lead to a system Of agriculture
which will build up soil fertility, the
sacrifices may not be too great. For
one year, or for even short term Of
years, cotton must sell for a very
low price, indeed, to make it less at
tractive from a purely ready-cash
standpoint than any other crop avail
able; but no system which does not
produce a rich and productive soil
can ever protect us against times like
these.
Any cotton farmer can show be-
yond any argument that cotton is
the best money crop for the South.
In fact, he can show with unanswera-
BILE figures wherein it will pay to
plant cotton and buy feed and food
supplies, so long as cotton brings
eight or ten cents pound; but Sc
rious fact stands squarely against
his theory. We have planted cotton
and bought supplies and the records
show that during the fifty years we
nave IOllOWSQ IldI oySISlu OOl SiSioS
have averaged about ITS pounds of
cotton, less than twenty bushels of
corn, and not over twenty bushels
Of oats per acre.
And now, when cotton prices make
such a yield, even of so good crop
as cotton, improbable, we are left
stranded, because in following the
one-crop system we are reaping its
inevitable consequences in an i'm
poverished soil, ignorance of how to
make other crops, and the absence
of established markets and market
ing systems for these crops. If we
had rich soil we could overcome
all other difficulties. No country
with rich soil, if owned by the men
who till it, is ever in danger of Sc
rious financial or business calamity.

BUYING MEAT ON FOOT.
AS Compared With Buying From the
Grocer.

A reader asks the following ques-
tions: What is the cheaper way
to get meat and lard, buy hogs at
eight and one-half cents a pound on
foot and cure the meat at home, or
buy meat and lard from the grocer
as they are needed throughout the
year,"
There will probably be a difference
of opinion among our readers regard
ing the correct answer to this ques-
ton. There can be no doubt, how
ever, if the curing of the meat and
the making and saving of the lard is
we'll done, the actual outlay of cash
will be less if the hogs are bought on
foot and the meat cured at home.
The man who slaughters the hogs
and cures the meat and the grocer
who sells it must have pay for their
labor and a profit on the money,
equipment and knowledge used in
handling the products.
If the curing could be done as well
on the farm and facilities for doing
the work were available we would
not. hesitate to advise that the curing
be done there, whether the hogs were
raised or purchased on foot. 1t would
mean a saving of the profits of the
middlemen and good pay for the la
bor expended, but in the South, es-
pecially, weather conditions are not
favorable to the home curing Of pork
and facilities for doing it are not al
ways available. Much meat is lost
and there is no denying the fact that
a large part of the meat cured on the
farm is not of good quality. 1t is
hard and tasteless, or over salted or
tainted and is not, on the average, OF
as good quality as that put up by the
packers who have cold storage and
other facilities for doing the work
and, having made a business of it.,
know better how to do it. One ad-
vantage in buying meat during the
summer, in case fresh meat market
is available, is that more fresh meat
may be used. On the other hand, if
no fresh meat can be bought as need
ed then more will be available by
slaughtering on the farm, especially
during winter.
Moreover, we do not think that the
Southern housewife should use so
much lard. We have cheaper and,
all things considered, better pro-
duct in cottonseed oil, which should
largely take the place of lard. All
things considered, therefore, we are
inclined to advise our reader to buy
her meat and lard-or cottonseed
oil substitute for lard needed for
summer use-from the merchant in
stead of curing it at home, unless
she has special facilities for doing
the work and possesses a thorough
knowledge of the curing and saving
of meat under Southern farm condi-
tions. For winter use or in cold
weather there is better reason for
killing the meat used at home.-Pro-
gressive Farmer.
