There is another visual advantage which
the sentinel Neptune enjoys over the
planets that circle nearer TO the sun.
Since he Is thirty times farther from the

our planet gets. That Is the same as

DEAR SIR: Leo Franks effort to account for

Phagan being outraged and murdered, by
stating that he might have unconsciously gone
to the toilet, is absurd in the extreme
No man went into toilet without shock
caused by the great difference in the air as be-
tween the toilet and the hallway, and venture
the assertion that even though one were walking
in his sleep, the shock to his sense of smell would
arouse him Immediately to consciousness At the
hotel dinner table recently several drummers and
a country newspaper editor all expressed their
belief in Franks innocence, because the paid
hirelings of big magazines and prostituted news

drummers said that out of $40 letters to the Post

What Tell You About Having Uncle sam in a Hole?

! F you meandered through last weeks JEFF
fersonian, you saw where it was stated that
your Uncle t. E. w. was after Uncle Sam,
with sharp stick, endeavoring to learn at
qohat price the Government was insuring that
cotton, which it forced you to sell at $50 per
bale
Why do I say the Government forced you
to sell at $50 per bale?
[ say it because the Government refused to
lend yoW the money to hold 1t, BUT LOAN
ED THE SPECTATORS THE MONEY
TO BUY IT.
That hastily made new money, which was
doped out to the National banks by the hun
dred Millions was used to buy your cotton.
The banks paid the Government per cent
interest for it, and if the banks themselves
did not use it to buy the Scent cotton, they
loaned it at per cent to the men who did.
Consequently the undeniable fact is, that
you couldn't hold the cotton, for lack of
money, while the spectators could buy it,
with new paper money hurriedly created by
the Government.
Naturally | wanted to know at what price
the Government insured this same Scent cot
ton, after the spectators had got ii.
Bless your eyes! Uncle Sam tried to side
step the question But [ persisted, and at
length the following letter comes:

Washington, March IS, 1915.
Mr.. Thomas E. Watson,
Editor, Jeffersonian Publishing Company,
Thomson, Georgia.
Sir: 1 have your letter of March 18th and in
reply will say that we have insured cotton at
many different prices, and it is quite impossible
to give you any averages or make any estimate
of what our average price per pound has been.
We insured the "Carib" and the Evelyn"
hulls and cargoes for total of $659103. On
the Evelyn the amount per bale $40, and
on the "Carib' the amount averages about
1921 per bale. The hull Of the Evelyn
insured for $500, 900, and the hull of the "Carb"
for $22,253.
By direction of the Secretary
Respectfully,
A. j. PETERS,
Assistant Secretary.
Now, brethren, arhat do you thinh Of that?
Brother Peters lodges me still on all the
insured cotton, erceptaeg that e0Iich ao0s on
board the ta0o ships that aOere lost at sea.
But the Government had insured at $40 a
bale the cotton on the Evezyn, and at an aver
age of about 1921 the bales on board the
Cdqib.
To make an average of 1921, it is neces-
sary to assume that some Of the Carib's cot
ton was also insured at $40 bale.
In all your life, did you ever see anything
like this?

CHAIR FACTORY
IS PROGRESSING
FIXTURES ARE BEGINNING TO Ar
RIVE FOR WORK At THE
PENITENTIARY.

Ft. Madison, Dec. Is - The work at
the new chair company at the peniten-
tiary is now progressing faster than IT
has for several weeks. There was de.
lay for time over the reception OF
many of the parts needed. Some OF
them began to arrive and the prison
is in receipt OF car load OF pulleys,
hangers, collars and several other
chair machines. Shop number two,
which will bear the heavy burden OF
the work, Is now taking shape. All the
overhead fixtures have been received
and will be in position in few days.
The starting of preliminary work VIII
then be altogether dependent upon the
receipt of motors and cable. Most OF
the motors have been received, but
none of the cable. The delay will now
be entirely for that reason.
The dry kiln room is in good shape
1t is being connected with the pipes
and the pipes will be tested out some
time the first part Of the week. In the
shops above. shafting is being put in
position, and machinery is being in
stalled in the cabinet room. The de-
lay occasioned by lack of one motor
and the cable has given rise to the
prophecy that the works will not be
started in any event before the first
of February.

Council Bluffs, Dec. Is. Another
silk train - those trains about which

raw silk and was bound for the east

to New York. The value OF the con.
signment is estimated at $500, O0O
as it Is said that generally about $500.
900 worth Of raw silk is contained in
one car.
Railroad men are always skeptical
about silk trains, as gold and silk are
one and the same thing in the mind OF
a trainman. Gold in carload lots is

road men are inclined to believe that

than of silk. The train was well

L. r. Clausen in discussing, Co

brought out some strong points for the
benefit of every listener. He said that
the subject of cooperation should be
of interest to every man who lives in
a town, no matter how large. For the
feeling that exists in many places be-
tween the farmer and the town man,
Mr.. Clausen believes both are
to blame. He says that the country
man has lived too much to himself,
has considered the city strange land
and the city man exclusive, SO he has
kept himself and family TO them
selves. The town man is responsible
for his part in this feeling by. allow
ing his egotism to put him IN that
mental condition which causes him to
consider himself better than his neigh

merchant have many things In COM
