Make the World Brighter.

Put the hammer in the locker,
Hide the sounding board
likewise;
Anyone can be knocker,
Anyone can criticise.
Cultivate manner winning,
Though it hurts your face to
smile
And seems awkward in beginning,
Be booster for awhile.
Let the blacksmith do the pound
ing,
That's the one that draws the
pay,
You don't get cent for bounding
Saint and sinner night and
day.
Just for solid satisfaction
Drop kind word in the slot,
And III warrant you'll get action
For your effort on the spot.
Kindness every time beats knock
ing.
Mirth is better than frown;
Do not waste your time in picking
Flaws with brothers who are
down.
And it isn't so distressing
If you give little boost
To the man the fates are pressing,
When the chicks come home
to rooSt.
Yes, the old world would be
brighter,
If you kindle friendships
flames,
And this makes the trouble lighter
Of the man against the game.
Send your crouch on a vacation
Give your grumbling tones
the shake
And with grim determination
Threw your hammer in the
lake.

A Wonder Of the Age.

Everyone who has had the priv
ilege of beholding cotton in bloom,
with its bursting pods whitening
the fields like summer snow, can
picture how the beauty of the spec
tacle would be enhanced if the
bolls were suddenly dyed with all
the hues of the rainbow, and glow
ed in the sunlight with crimson
and purple and gold and azure.
The production Of cotton tinted
by nature with any color desired
is the newest and most revolution
airy departure attempted in the
cotton growing industry, and one
which may have far reaching ef-
fects in the United States. 1t
must be remembered that cotton
is by far the most important plant
fiber on earth, and that in the
South is produced two-thirds OF
the worlds cotton crop.
Commercially, the achievement
of natural colors in cotton woulc
obviate the use of chemical dyes,
which, besides their expense, are
said to damage the fabric of the
cheaper varieties of cotton stuffs
With the perfection of the new
| process it would be possible t
feed 20 the looms to suit any de
sign, cotton threads colored b,
nature with tints which could no

| The leading apostle Of colorec
cotton is A w Brabham. of Olar,
S, c. He points oat what i.
scarcely known to the American
public, acquainted only with white
cotton-that already there exists
species of cotton of many various
hues.
Besides the white cotton of the
United States, Peru produces a
cotton with reddish lint; brown
cotton is grown in Egypt, Peru
and Hawaii, yellow cotton is pro-
duced in China; and India has a
gray cotton. In addition, green
cotton has been evolved in South
Carolina, and evena jet black cot
ton is said to have been developed
in Mexico. C H Clarke. of Bos-
ton, has written to Brabham that
it has proved feasible in laboratory
experiments to produce blue cot
ton.
Brabham's chief contribution to
the introduction of colored eottons
is his proof that the different spe-
cies, whether from Peru, Egypt
or China, will breed true to color
in whatever soil they are planted.
1t was at first thought that the
hues of the lint were due to pecu-
liarities of the earth III which the
cotton grew. But by experiments
in South Carolina, he has estab-
lished that the seed from gray cot
ton in India produces gray cotton
wherever planted and that the
same is true of red cotton from
Peru, yellow cotton from China
and brown cotton from Egypt. 1t
lis we'll established that white.c cot
ton from North Carolina or Texas
also remains white cotton in the
tropics.
The American eaperimenter
may thus have at his disposal
eight different hues of cotton
white, red, brown, yellow, gray,
green, blue and black According
to Brabham, by inter-breeding it
will be possible to blend these
colors into all the Intermediate
tints. For instance, b. breeding
white and red cotton together, we
should arrive at fixed type Of
pink cotton: by blending red and
blue cotton we should achieve
purple cotton; and the intermix
ture of black cotton should give
us darker hues of all the other
colors. st. Louis Post-Dispatch.

There are some remnants still held in

seasons work, as we'll as many of the

about as lifeless everywhere as could
well be imagined.

the growth of the plant beds and the
growers begin to fear there will be
much late tobacco planted this year,
though couple weeks Of warm wealth

The closing of various warehouses in
the Valley is being celebrated in var
ious ways. One firm tenders it's en-
ployes a luncheon, with music. A
warehouse manager, whose birthday
fortunately falls upon the very same
day he expects to close the structure
under his care, entertains his friends
in and out of the trade with refresh
ments and dancing. All of this is indi-
cative of the frame of mind Connecti-
cut tobacco men are in now. An auto
mobile paper said the other day that
more sales Of motor cars, per capita of
population, are being made in Connec-
ticut than in any other state in the
Union at present. While the ware
house season is drawing to close, ac-
tivity among the growers is concen-
trated about their new seed beds.
These appear to be in exceptionally fine
condition The outlook for tobacco in
the Valley has never been better than
it is now, and the growers are not 60
ing to cross any bridges until they
come to them.

In spite of the complaints registered
by our correspondents in different
trade centers on behalf of the cigar
manufacturers against the prevailing
high price of Sumatra, this week re-
cords banner sales of that type. Over
thousand bales of Sumatra were dis
posed of in our market this week and
the fanciest and higher priced lots had
the first call. 1t wasn't the price but
the quality and availability of the leaf
which attracted and quickened pur-
chases. 1t is reported that higher
prices were paid than ever before for
certain lots. Such an extraordinary
rush for the Sumatra would appear the
more surprising, when the state of our
cigar industry is taken into considera-
ton, which shows, as commented upon
on another page of this issue, an
alarming decrease in the output of
large cigars. When then in the face
of such discouraging condition manu-
facturers rush for supply of Sumatra
regardless Of price, then there can be
but one conclusion, namely, that it
must be the general belief insthe trade
that later inscriptions will yield but
little more of available leaf and that
manufacturers are more than anxious
to cover their necessary supply. 1t
would seem to prove also that the stock
of Sumatra is not too abundant to be
counted upon for price reduction. In
other types of leaf the market was not
up to it's normal average of transac-
tons journal

The continued cold weather last week
gave the Lancaster county tobacco
growers bad jolt, as it rather damp
ened their hopes for early planting,
which would mean an early crop. The
warm weather of early spring gave
promise of long growing period, when
the plants could be left out until the
last horn blew, with safety, thor
oughly ripe stalk being the result.
Backward as weather conditions have
made the seed beds, many growers will
have their plants ready for setting out
in the field in another week. But if
the weather is too cold by that time
they might as we'll not have the plants
for all the good it will do them, as the
tender plants could not survive if trans
pl-nted to the field
