NEW MACHINE PICKS COTTON
Harvester Recently Demonstrated Which Sucks Lint Out of Boils
 by Use of Compressed Ar

While the South has been concen- trating its entire attention at present on the question of the marketing of this years cotton crop, cotton manu- facurer of Westbrook, Me, has been perfecting machine which, if what Is claimed for 1t is true. is of more vital concern to the production of this great staple than all the subsidies and bond issues that the federal government could be induced to grant, says Bos- ton Transcript This is a cotton har- vester. recently demonstrated at Fair wold. S. C., where it picked cotton sue cessfully by sucking the lint out of the bolls by compressed air, somewhat on the order, apparently, of the vacuum cleaner. It's economical value has not been proved and it Is also said to have the defect of picking dried leaves along with the cotton, but the inven- tor claims that this objection will be overcome by the employment of ex- pert operators.

There are some very funny things in big store besides the things the girls say about he foorwalker or the faneies the ribbon-counter boys have about the personalities of buy CTS and heads of departments.
 For instance: The other day a small lad, with an unmistakable stamp of the country, was trailing his moth CT along through big store. He was hanging back, and she was pulling. The boy never had been in big store, and the place was full of many wonders
 All of a sudden the pulling and lag ging became a stubborn, and pro nouneed utter stoppage

FARMER SHOULD KEEP BOOKS
Not Necessary to Keep Careful and Exhaustive Record, but Some Kind
 of Accounting Is Urgent.

Did you ever know business man who ran a business without keeping books? You probably never did, but 1t Is certain that you know several. yes, scores of farmers who keep ab- solutely no kind of records, writes Grady Thompson of Oklahoma in Farm Progress. Farming is business in the truest sense, and farmers should by all means keep records of their crops and expenses.
 Much has been written on the keep ing of farm accounts and how to keep farm accounts, but after reading the articles the average farmer will not take the time and trouble to follow the instructions. The methods advo- cated by many writers are entirely too complex and require too much time. The method which any man living on the farm will use is one that requires but little time and one that Is simple. No person after day of work cares to spend an hour or so in book work, and unless the method used Is such that only few minutes day is need ed to keep accounts the person Will put it off. and consequently part of the record is forgotten or never done.
 It is not necessary to keep such careful and exhaustive record, but It is necessary that some form Of ac- counting be used; the simpler the bet ter. Every farmer should make an inventory of his farm, including live stock, farm implements, and every thing of value on his farm. In short, the inventory is a statement Of the value of the farm in dollars and cents. Unless an inventory is kept no person engaged in the farming business could tell whether the farm has made money. Many people object to farm accounts on the basis that there are too many estimates taken. Estimates must be made in any line of business, and farming on the whole Is not different from any other business.
 After making an inventory, an eX- pense account should be kept showing only the money expended and re- ceived. This simple record will show at the end of the year how money has been expended and what things have brought in money. If a farmer wishes to keep any record of certain crops they should bs simple. Probably it would not be advisable to keep rec ord of each crop, but it might be good plan to keep a record of one of two crops each year, in addition to keeping an expense account and in ventory.
 Some people might ask: What good is all this work to bring me? Won't my bank book show me wheth- CT or not l am making money?" One of the greatest gains to be obtained from these records is in studying them, finding out what crops have paid, where mistakes have been made. and last, but not least, to profit by mis- takes and failures. Ask the success ful farmers of today and every one of them will say that records must be kept and studied

Gunmakers to the Kaiser,

FARMERS ARE NOW UNITING
Spread of Cooperation Seen in Middle @est-World's Greatest Business
 to Be Organized.

Cooperation is growing very rapid ly in the middle West just now. This is because the farmers are learning to work together. They are showing that they had overcome the greatest drag the business has had-the inability of the producers to unite. The worlds greatest business is at last to be or ganized, says Farmers Mail and Breeze.
 The main reason for this rapid de- velopment in the last two years Is that farmers are getting to the point with their organizations where they can offer rewards for leadership Take in Kansas, for example, which Is the center for this development of CO., operation in the middle West, there are 10000 members of the Farmers union, 200 chapters in the Farmers grange and large number of coop erative organizations that are not directly connected with these organ izations. The business of organized farming is getting to the point where rewards are in sight for leadership.

Hard-Up King Created Baronetcy

The title baronet was created, but not invented, by the British Solo mon" It was to King James I, ire quently in the financial morass of MT. Micawber, thA the earl of Salisbury suggested scheme whereby 200 gen. tlemen might be persuaded to pay G1,000 each for the honor of being styled baronets, or petty barons To the kings objection that such a step might give offense to the general body of the gentry" the cynical Sails bury replied Sire, you want the money, which will do you good, while the honor will do the gentry very little harm" This cogent argument con- vineed the king, and the old chivalrous order of knighthood was superseded by the new order of pseudo-barons.

httP OUT PINK BoLLWoRM
"eaSures Adopted to Prevent Inno. '''lon Of Cotton Pest-Fumlea-
 oon Probably Required.

ne rules and regulations in regard T.. ,o 'he Importation of foreign cotton mt which were discussed at a con
 si'ee m Washington. have now been promulgated by the secretary of agri. culture. The regulations are substan. 'tdliy those which were submitted for 'he consideration of representative 'o'ton merchants and manufacturers at the conference. The date when .hey become effective, however. has oeeh changed from June 1. 1915. to July l. I9l5, and the regulation requiring ,uHlgat1on at the port of entry has Oeeh omitted for the present.
 The purpose of these regulations is to prevent the entry into the United states of the pink bollworm. which. In those countries where 1t has gained d 1oothold, has proved to be one of the most destructive of cotton pests II IS frequently found in the cotton seed, and as some seed Is almost in Varlably mixed in the lint, it Is not considered safe to permit unrestricted importations of the latter. The new regulations provide for the entry of foreign cotton under permit. limit the sale and delivery of such imported cotton to mills which have obtained a license for its use. and require these mills to adopt certain measures in or der to obtain their licenses
 Fumigation of cotton at the port of entry will probably be required. The regulations on this subject, however. have been omitted until the results of the extensive experiments now under way 10 ascertain the effect of fumiga- tion are known
 h order to determine both the effi- c1ency of the treatment as a means of killing the pink bollworm larvae as well as the effect of the treatment up- on the lint itself, a committee of cot ton merchants and cotton manfactur- CTS have agreed to supply the depart ment of agriculture with some sixty bales of Egyptian and other foreign cottons- These will be fnmigated in Washington, and after fumigatfon the bales will be submitted to various mills for spinning and milling tests, in comparison with cotton of a similar grade which has not been fumigated. The bureau of plant industry, the bu- reau of chemistry. and the bureau of standards will also make careful ex- animation of the fumigated cotton. The fumigation is to be accomplished 5y means of hydrocyanic-acid gas in practically complete vacuum Appara- tus is now available for fumfgating 50 or more bales of cotton at one time by this method It is also practicable to construct an apparatus which can fumigate a carload of cotton.

REALLY NOT HIS LINE
TERROR" SATISFIED HE WAS IN
 WRONG BUSINESS.
or Course He Had Killed Eleven Men and Never Been Licked, but at That He Had Mistaken
 his Vocation.

When we opened the old Four x" In Nevada, it was no time at all be- fore lively town was founded and hundreds of people came pouring in. In those days every community had It's terror. He was supposed to be able to outdrink, outyell, outshoot and outright everything on legs in his ju- risdiction. Sometimes he was a free lance and again he was employed as sort of policeman. We wanted a man to protect company property and one day a giant of a chap weighing 205 pounds and six feet tall applied for the place.
 Are you fighter?" was the first question asked of him
 T am" replied he. eve had 29 fights in seven weeks"
 Afraid of anything mortal?"
 Nothing mortal or immortal"
 Shoot both handed?"
 q do."
 Use the bowie knife?"
 Perfectly at home with it, sir"
 How many men have you killed this last year?"
 Well, this has been an off year with me, as I was sick in bed for six weeks and so haven't got but 1even."
 Suppose, now, that terror from some other camp should come over here to clean you out? Have you ever met any other terror and downed him "a genuine terror, from the headwa- ters of Fighting creek?"
 T cant say that l ever have, sir not a regular terror, sir
 Then you can't tell how you would act?"
 Why. should probably fight him"
 But you cant say for sure. How ever. come back at four o'clock this afternoon
 We sent over to Cedar Flats, five miles away, for their terror. We knew him to be the genuine stuff, and when he arrived we posted him as to what was wanted. At four o'clock when our alleged terror returned to the shaft. the Cedar Flats terror suddenly waltzed out on him with hair-raising whoop and called out:
 @Whar's the bloody. bspomin' hyena who has been passing hisself off around here as fighter? Whoop! Maugh, Ughi Somebody pint him out to me and then tie my hands and legs while 1 bite his ears off"
 Our alleged terror turned pale and looked nervous and the Cedar Flats man pranced around cracking his heels together and shouting:
 'Whoop, Put him out! Let him stand before me, Tie me all up in knots, head me up in that bar', and then I'll lick him or go over the cliff! Great snakes. but won't somebody show me the fellow who says-'
 I pointed to our terror and the Ce- dar Flats man let out a scream and rushed for him. The chap who had only killed 'leven men just fell right down in a heap. and it was five min utes before we could bring him to-. He was winter than flour, and limpsy as a rag and it was all of half an hour before he could walk away.
 How do you account for it?" I asked him as he was ready to go.
 Il must have gone in the wrong busi- ness he gloomily replied.
 How do you mean?"

When Crown Was in Pawn.

In former centuries the crown used to be the favorite way of raising money, and the royal jewels used to be in pawn most of the time At the time of the coronation of George " the crown was in pawn, and was hired out for the occasion at a cost of $35.000. The king wanted to buy it, but Lord Liverpool thought 1t an unnecessary extravaganza. Fi- nally they browbeat the poor pawn broker down to $35,000, although the crown was then valued at $750,000, and in celebration George " had to march through the streets for miles wearing a 51apound weight on his head.
