AT NEW YORK CITY
IN MILK SUPPLY

New York. Oct. LESS than so per
cent. of the usual 100000 quarts Of
milk required by the residents of New
York and vicinity for daily consump-
ton, was reported available today. as
a result of a deadlock between dairy
men and distributors over the price of
the product. From the heads of the
principal distributing concerns it was
learned that the supply for customers
was about so per cent. of normal, but
with a promise of better conditions to-
morrow. Hospitals and families with
children are receiving first attention,
the distributors said, and what is left
over is given to the regular trade but
in decreased quantities in proportion
TO the amount of milk on hand.
Efforts were being made today. it
was said, to obtain milk from distant
states. and train service to transport
it is being arranged for. No settle
ment of the dispute appeared to be in
sight today,

COTTON CROP TO
SUFFER SHORTAGE

Washington. Oct. 2.-Storms and in

cotton crop this year and caused a loss

growing season. The crop will be APP

pound bales, according to the depart
ment of agriculture's forecasts made
today, basing its estimate on the con-
dition of the crop on Sept. 25.
In the first forecast of production
made from conditions existing June 25.
the quantity was estimated at IA, 266, 900
bales.
cent. of a normal which is the lowest
condition on record for that time of
the year.
Cotton this year was planted on the
fourth largest acreage ever recorded
S. 1874 600 acres.
Indications are that this years crop
will yield only 1863 pounds per acre
compared with 207.7 pounds in 1911, 1872
pounds in 1913 and 2092 pounds in 1914

cotton again this month in the central

larger extent than ever before known.
This insect has, in addition, seriously
damaged the crop in portions of Okla
homa, Georgia and Tennessee. Cater
pillars have injured the late cotton in
Southern Texas and eastern Florida.
Cool nights caused a cessation of
fruiting and the plant shed it's fruit
considerably in the northern portion
of the cotton belt.
There is considerable late cotton in
the Carolinas and some in northern
Georgia which will need a late killing
frost to reach anything like full ma
turity.
The weather during the month was
very favorable for gathering the crop
and the high prices prevailing for both
cotton and the seed caused the farm
ers in all parts of the south to rush
gathering and ginning.
over the entire cotton belt the crop
this season has been rapidly picked
and there is less cotton remaining in
the fields than usual at this time Of
the year. The picking season will aver

How to Absorb an
Unlovely Complexion

The face which is admired for it's beau
" must have a satin-smooth skin, pink
and white and youthful looking. The only
/ thing known that can make such a COM
plexion out of an aged, faded, or discol-
ored one-that is. natural, not a painted
complexion--is ordinary mercolized wax.
This remarkable substance literally alb
serbs the unsightly cuticle. a little each
day. the clear, healthy. girish skin be-
meath gradually peeping out until within
week or 80 it is wholly in evidence. OF
course such blemishes as freckles, moth
patches, liver spots, blotches and pimples
are discarded with the old skin. If you
will procure an ounce of mercolized wax
at the drug store, use like cold cream
every night. washing this off mornings,
you'll find 1t a veritable wonder-worker.
Another valuable natural treatment is a
wash lotion to remove wrinkles which
can be easily prepared. Dissolve an ounce
of powdered saxolite in a half pint OF
witch hazel Battle the face in this and
you'll find it works like magic. ADV.

silver shaving set, the gift of the crew

The honors attendant upon the presen-

the steamers purser, and while the cere-
mony was very simple the sentiment
which clustered about the three pieces
of silver composing the gift was deeply
appreciated by Mr.. Berry. His express
sion of thanks brief but full of
feeling, and it is hardly necessary to add
that the gift is one that he will always
cherish The set is graceful in design

Weird Music from a Mine

I recall an interesting experience AZ
the Neuva Luz shaft, the deepest shaft
on the Neta Madre, in the Guanajuato
district, Mexico 1t Is 2,031 feet deep,
cut out of solid rock. Iron buckets,
guided by wire ropes, are used FOR
hosting men, rock and supplies, and
even an experienced engineer is ex-
cuscd a feeling Of fear and trepidation
when straddling the bale over this
yaWning hole.
The almost nude natives, oblivious OK
danger, jumped aboard, holding their
torch of candles in the free hand, and
as they were lowered began to sing. A
flood of melody filed the shaft, full
crnscendo reverborated from wall to
wall. followed by softer cadences, and
as | peered down into the hole the
bucket continued its slow descentA the
lights OF the torches became more and
more indistinct, the darkness deepened.
the prayerful song came up with de-
crcaSing volume until il seemed like
distant echo from the unknown. There
was no light visible, no anthem aud
ible. and l involuntariiy said Amen.
