COTTON CONDITION
 IS 75.8 PER CENT
MEMPHISPAPF APFR'SREPOR1
Heavy Rains in East Responsible fol Big Loss, But Dry Weather in
 West has Caused Reduction.

Memphis, July 31.-Average cond- ton of the cotton crop on July 25 was 75.8 per cent of normal, according to reports of correspondents of the com
 mercial Appeal. This compares with the government figures of 81.1 on June 25 of this year, 75 on July 25, last year, and the 10-year average of 7S.5.
 The big loss in condition from last
 month is largely due to recent exces- sive rains east of the Mississippi
 River, where heavy damage has re- suited from almost daily rains for
 about three weeks. Fields are grassy as result of inability to cultivate, and the plant is weedy, full of sap and frulting poorly. In many low
 lands the crop was almost if not en-
 tirely destroyed. Boil weevil activity
 has been encouraged by the wet
 weather and the ravages of this pest have been added to other damages. West of the river the crop has done well, but some small loss from last | months high condition is noted as a result of lack of sufficient rainfall in some localities, notably the heavy pro- ducing section of north-central Texas. | However, conditions in the western
 half of the belt are still good, with no | damage to date that favorable wealth
 CT conditions would not rectify. There
 is also some complaint of weevils in I 1 Texas, but activity of this pest has I been retarded in this district by hot, dry weather.
 Condition by states, with compari- son with last month, follows:

In addition to traction strike here

$4,000 for a Dog Kennel,

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-while sensa.
tional disclosures are being made re-
garding treatment of children in insti-
buttons New York is buying 800 dolls
and $500 bird cages.
But $500 to house a bird in a gilded
cage when poor orphans are suffering
was outdone when F. P. Avery, of New
York, paid 50, 500 for kennel for dog.
The kennel, auctioned at the American
art galleries with the dolls, bird cages
and other items in the Yamanaka collec-
ton, is a brass structure on four wheels,
all ornamented with cloisonne enamel
picturing dragons among the clouds, In
turquoise-blue, white, vermilion and yel-
low on a deep lapis-blue ground.
The roof is of gilded rods, arcning
to a bell-shaped dome in champleve
enamel
The kennel is of the Ch'ien-lung dy-
nasty, according to an inscription.
The dog can drink from a. Ch'ien-lune
water or milk dish inscribed with the
seal of the reign, and can eat from q
feed-tub of the same period.
For the dog and his kennel there is
a night covering of blue silk embroider-
ed in gold thread with peonies, pome-
granates and peaches.

lum in New York; City sleep on spring
less beds with a covering of dirty linen.
Two other kennels in the Yamanaka
collection also brought fancy prices.
One, an antique red lacquer affair, was
provided with Chinese silk brocade
quilted mat
Japanese dolls auctioned were costum-
ed in the richest silks and brocades.
Orphan children in the homes wear
cheap muslins and ginghams. And few
have even rag dolls.
