This cold weather holds on like some kinds of troubles we have The $135, 900, 900 to float the dis tressed cotton crisis came too late to help the laboring man, and then the terms are too stringent to al low us reaching it anyway. Sc we will have to try to figure out what will be our best money crop.
 To be sure there will be enough cotton raised, for so many don't know what else to raise. Then go with me to the River Bottoms anl see the large farms with the swarms of negroes You may travel for miles and see hardly a pig. Occasionally, you see a pot ato patch, and but little corn or sorghum, and no otas worth ment- ioning.
 These poor slaves will have to r lise cotton again in order to get supplies to make another crop.
 In my opinion. if we raise all the food family, feed for the stock (which every farmer should have sufficiency), it will make him independent of so much pur. chasing and credit. Just think for a moment how many kinds of produce one can raise for family supply. You cannot name them on your fingers. Then the feed for your stock (of course you have to consider the adaptability of your soiD.

since he vas only a student and had

When he approached the matter,
however, the gruff old man spoke out
brusquely: Don't you know the Ell.

the curtain ut the farther end.
l was just behind Goldberger and
Simmons, and ] heard their gasp of
amazement, as they saw what lay be-
yond.
The scene had not changed in the
slightest detail. The crystal sphere still
softly glowed, with intangible shadows
fitting across it's surface; the adept
still sat cross legged staring into it's
depths; opposite him, the cobra, it's
hood ~distended, SWayed slowly to and
fro.
But as we stood there staring, q
single delicate ray of sunlight coming
through a pin hole in the curtained
window, struck the sphere and seemed
to %extinguish it. The glow within it
flickered and fluttered and finally YAM
ished, n it hung there dull and grey.
An instant later, the motionless figure
! raised it's arms high in air, with Il mo-
J ton somehow familiar; then it got
slowly to it's feet, crossed to the win
dow, drew back the curtain and flung
wide the shutter.
The sun was just peeping over the
trees to the east, and for a second it's
light blinded me. Then I saw the
adept bowling low before it, his arms
still extended. Once. twice. thrice no

slowly toward us.

RUSSIANS MAY KEEP WARSAW.
Polish Capital Safe II II Holds Out
This Week, Says London.

London. Aug. 4.-The stubborn re-
sistence which the Russians are offer
ing to the Austro-Germans and the
slowness with which the forces OF the
invaders have been able to move dur
ing the last few days leads to the be-
lief in some quarters that the German
supply OF ammunition Is beginning to
feel the effect OF the protracted strug-
gle and that Russia may vet save the
Polish capital. Dispatches from War
saw dated Aug. l say the governor
general of Warsaw is still at his post
and Russian authority there is intact.
There is talk in military circles to the
effect that II the Russian lines hold a
week longer the city will never be
abandoned.
Approximately 100000 people have
left the capital for the interior; other
wise normal conditions prevail.
A dispatch from Zurich says the
Russian defensive has proved much
more effective than was expected by
the Austro-Germans. and has necessi,
tated complete change in their orig.

rates decreased the freight on lump
coal from $3.50 to $1.60, and on slack
from 1925 to $1.40, from the South
Canon fields to Denver and to all COM

to increase the new rates it made May
10 for the haul of all coal from the
Palisades district to Denver and to
common points east of Denver. In the
Palisades case, the original rates had
been as high as $3.50. The order of
