Free Footed Verse ]
By Margaret Johns.

z ATELY in America the production of
poetry has grown TO such proportions
- that it has come to be common say
ing that everybody writes poetry. One does
not know who to suspect. For toward their
intimates poets are apt to be secretve in the
carly stages of the disease. The dreaming
schoolgirl the society woman and the mid
dle-agcd mother of a large family have all
been guilty as well as the professional poet
and the familiar youthful male asprant for
literary honors. Publishers are besieged by
large bundles Of verse; not a little of which
has been fortunate enough to get before the
public.
1t may be in rebellion against this unseen
lv surfeit of the stuff that dreams are made
on" that many of the younger poets have
banded together in an uprising the purpose Of
which is to decry the usage Of rhyme and
metre. Some Of the work of this group is
fantastic and outrageous to the mind Of the
conservative reader Of Shelley and Byron as
were the pictures of the extreme modernists
at the international show a few years ago
TO the faithful admirers Of the academic in
art. At that time number of well known
artists Of the country went on strike and in
sisted that the public should accept Futurist
and Cubist pictures, instead of the ones they
had been used to, such as Cow by the
Stream" and Sunset" The poor, harassed
public has scarcely adjusted itself to seeing
lines and coors, instead of the old story
pictures, and portraits that actually looked
like the sitter, when it is called upon by the
young poets to assist at revolution Of all
its old ideas about verse. Before long ii will
be considered rank bad taste to pick up a
magazine and take any pleasure in reading
the familiar sweet lines with dove rhymins
with love, and dear with tear.
No; in the new poetry there is a riddle,
something to be solved. It is like a Lloyd
puzzle or a Gertrude Stein rhapsody or
Shoenberg Symphony. Here, for instance, is
fair sample in the very latest manner, by
Miss Nina 10y, an English girl living in
Paris. The reader Will note the profound
significance of the blank spaces:
must live in my lantern,
Trimming sublimna flicker

Of experience
Colored glass
Verify. the good old poets like Longfellow
will soon be laid upon the shelf beside the
family album and the Cow by the Stream
and will never be heard of a0n'n.

poetry. which recently Haunted its yellow
covers on the bookstands before the outraged
readers Of poetry, and from which the poem
by Nina 10y is quoted, is edited and published

everybody back to his earliest prejudices
That's always the effect of fear and danger.
During the panic of 1907 there was a tremen-

the war broke out there was torrent of abuse

rushed-retreated- safety. Their safety
was in being more German than they'd ever
been before. AS soon as they got into that po-
sition, they had to defend Germany all along
the line. Now anybody knows that if you
argue case long enough you believe it. They
got deeper and deeper into it until the very
Germans who rushed away from Germany to
escape the whole imperial idea really pre-

MORE MONEY
 FROM COTTON
Advice to Farmers by a Man Who Has Extensive Experience in the Hand- ling of the Long-Staple Cotton

In a discussion with w. $. Stevens. regarding the outlook for a large cotton acreage in the valley this Wear, he was very optimistic and felt tEat the yield in number of bales would at least equal the yield Of last year. MT Stevens handled a large portion of the local crop last ear both of the Egyptian and short staple varieties. His years of eX perience in the cotton market cause him to have great faith in the future of the crop in this valley and with as good prices as are indicated at the present time he feels that the ranchers will receive great encourage ment from this years returns.
 The districts devoted to the Egyp tian cotton have about completed their planting and the attention now is being turned towards the district tributory to the Glendale gin, ard the short staple varieties. as they can be planted much later. In com menting further MT. Stevens said: All prices are based in this country on the midd!ing basis, the better or poorer grades maintaing about a standard ration above and below this basis. A middling basis of 10 cents is now in close prospect and this coveted price will likely be reached within the next ten days. It is now s9.60. Tine price has been steadily advancing and the gain during the past forty days has been $7.5O. per bale. The present indications are that the reduction of acreage throughout the cotton belt will be cf1f ta nj pf hnt ter than ten cents this fall.
 "The price of cotton seed of course is advancing and the farmer should realize more actual ready cash from his cotton this fall than from most any other crop. Now that a reason able advance can be had on the growing crop just when the farmer needs it most. should encourage him to plant a liberal acreage of cotton.
 Last season it was not possible to get water when needed and this was very disastrous. both to the amount produced and to the grade. We are now sure of sufficient water when needed and this trouble will no longer apply.
 The short staple cotton of the Salt River Valley has been more success fully marketed this past season, than in most other cotton sections, and this can be continued and also when desired the spot cash can be had for it when ginned. The cotton growing is here to stay and when considered in a business way. it is the surest crop for an actual money raiser
 Plant some cotton, if only a few acres and give it a close attention. Get good seed. preferably the pure durango, work for the higher grades. With the present water supply. it will be safe to plant the early grain land to cotton. if gotten in by June 10th.
