COTTON CROP IS
 AGAIN 10 BE LARGE

WASHINGTON, June I1.-It is es, timated that the cotton crop of this year will be so per cent. of last years record breaking production, or ap- proxImately 1S,OO0,o0O bales.
 The record yield last season, the decreased foreign takings because Of the war and the low price of cotton early in the season, arc believed to have influenced planters to reduce their planting to some extent. No of ficial reports as to the extent Of the reduction have been made, but un- official estimates place the area now planted at from 10 to 20 per cent less than last year. The preliminary es. innate of the planted area last year made by the Department of Agricul- ture last July was S6,9s0,OOO acres

 A few days later Harry Home. q postoffce inspector. dropped off the stage at Laurel Run and called on Betsy He wanted to know why she had not answered the query about the missing money She told him she had not known the correct form of reply and that she had according sent 1t to Green at Hickory Ridge. Home was furious:
 You have given information to a man whom the government suspects Of peculatlon." he exclaimed.
 He went on to tell her that q de. coy package of money had just been sent through the mails from the office the other side of Hickory Ridge and was due to reach Laurel that night. If the money or any part Of 1t should be missing when 1t arrived at Laurel Run, the authorities would know that Green had stolen 1t. Home was go- ing to be on hand to open the mail bag.
 As soon as the inspectors back was turned Betsy stuffed Q bag of gold pieces into her pocket, mounted her horse, Blue Lightning and galloped through the forests at top speed to Ridge. She drew rein at the post office presided over by Green, a short time after the mall pouch had been halted there She ran into the office and confronted Green. who was still fumbling with the mail bag be- fore sending 1t on to Laurel Run.
 In the mans weak face as he told the story of the decoy package she read his guilt. She demanded to seeI the package of money. Green had al- ready taken $1OO from 1t and turned 1t over to a pressing creditor. From the money in her pocket she replaced the missing S1OO. Green thanked her and then in his confusion and gratitude he blurted out m avow- al of love. She rejected him in dis gust. Sung by her refusal he asked why she had bothered to save him If she did not love him.
 CT came here for John Bakers sake only" she flashed, "as John Bakers living wife to carry on John Bakers gorkn
 Then she sprang into the saddle and It the same brealmeck speed rode pack to Laurel Run. Hiding her tired | iorse. she strolled unconcernedly in- 70 her own postoffice just as the stage stopped at the door with the mail bag rom Hickory Ridge.

 The inspector himself opened the ,ag, snatched out the decoy package md counted the money It was all here. Betsy had the best reasons for ,nowing that, and she watched him ,nconcernedly At last he glanced up t her grimly-
 He's safe this time. Did he get uite away, Mrs. Baker?'
 "I don't. know what you're talking bout" she stammered.

 "The coins were marked. But Mrs. 'aker.' he added reassuringly, You re all right, whatever happens. The overnment stands by you"

Yet It seems almost unbelievable to
me that l have been a member of

count the time to myself.
This spirit is not so decided or
definite a thing that one can easily
tell of It for there are so many
little ways in which 1t is shown.
First of all the pupils show will
ingness to be friendly. They imme-
diately make the new pupil feel
that they wish him to be truly one
of them and to participate in all
the activities just as though he
knew all the customs of the insti-
tuition. 1t apparently is never trou-
blesome for the one who is at home
to explain in detail or relate any
incident Of the past.
Another condition which is re-
sponsible to a large degree for this
spirit is the unity Of the faculty and

A CHEAP GRADUATION WEEK
Senior Girls Vote 90 Limit Cost OF
Clothes

No more will the Abilene mother
Of the sweet girl graduate" have TO
spend sleepless nights planning how
to pay for her daughters fussy
graduation garb. Tuesday after
noon the Senior girls held a meet
ing and voted to lessen the cost Of
commencement by limiting the cost
OF their clothes.
II is generally known, to people
who have any interest whatever In
school life, that II is next to impos-
sible for some students to graduate
Just because OF the big expense It
takes to keep up with the rest" In,
past years, certain students have
dropped out before commencement.
and the graduates were q survival
Of the fittest"-financially, OF
course; and It Is o we'll known fact
that many people who are. gradual
ed pay their expenses with bor-
rowed money. The girls Of the class
Of '16 wish to do away with this
condition, and they hope to make
their cheap graduation week such q
success that 1t will be established
as a precedent for future classes.
Various plans for lessening the cost
we're suggested and 1t was finally
decided to limit the price OF the
usually expensive gowns to a very
moderate price. The question OF
wearing caps and gowns was con-
sidered, but there proved to be vio-
lent opposition since many of the
girls desire "to look fussy for once
in their lives"

Editorial

Since the football season has clos

interest has thus far been shown In
this field OF work. There are al

are Seniors, ten Juniors. five Soph-
ignores, and three Freshmen. A. H.
8. Is anticipating a good team from
such material as It already has. ABB
lene, Junction City and Salina form
the league for this winters debate.
Debate affords opportunity Of ac-
curing q greater knowledge of the
nations most important problems;
II gives intellectual strength and
makes one dependent upon himself.
1t is hoped that the students who do
this work, which is done in addi-
tion to their everyday lessons, may
derive some help which shall be
beneficial to their practical life
