MIDDLING COTTON AT l5 CENTS Is
 FAIR ID FARMER
M. & P. Review, However, Advises Against Selling
 Seed at $35 a Ton.

Fifteen cents for strict middling is good price to accept. but $35 per ton for seed is not sufficient, is the advice contained in the September is- sue of the Merchants & Planters Re- view, issued by the Merchants X Planters bank of Pine Bluff. The Review finds that Trade in general continues good and the future pros- pect bright" and, in regard to con- ditions of the cotton crop and mar ket, says:
 changes have taken place in the cot ton situation. The magnificent July outlook for the Arkansas crop has gone to pieces. Many of those who denied having the boil weevl in July have lost fifty per cent of their crop. They had the weevil at the time but failed to recognize it. September first finds them better educated on the weevil ravages. They will be better equipped to handle it next time. Those who picked up the squares until August 1G. will make from one-half to thrccfourths of a crop. Those who did not will make very little cotton. A farmer in the Pine Bluff district cultivating 75 acres of river land divided by a bayou, kept the fallen squares on 60 acres picked up to August 10, the remaining fifteen acres on the oppo- site side of the bayou were not picked up and the outlook today, September 1, is for five bales on the fiji cen acres and sixty bales on the sixty acres. It pays to fight the weevil from ,he moment it makes an appearance.
 sixty to 90 days ago the hill farm CTS or growers of upland cotton, had settled na price of 12R cents net to them, today their ideas are settling around 15 cents and they are more in line than 90 days ago. This is very short crop as compared with the early July promise. No one knows it better than the cotton grower. Where the cotton plant has quit talk ing on squares to feed the Weevil, it has attacked the half grown bolls; this is. very disastrous. In many sec tions along the bayons in the south eastern part of the state, it will take twenty acres to make one bale; these same lands promised a bale to the acre June 15 to July 15; continued rains and the weevil did the work.
 While the above is true, the cot ton planter and supply merchant must not forget there is limit to be reached and no one hits the top notch every time. Fifteen cents for strict middling hill cotton pays debts and should be taken advantage of. Staples are bringing IS cents to P E2 cents. Cotton seed at $35.00 per ton is cheap and should not be sold. The government on condition today made it 61.2, the lowest in years. This points to 15S pounds of lint per acre or crop of 11,sO0,00O bales. This is small compared with the amount actually spun last year-14, ,SOOOOo bales.

~ oyrnpathixe."

In the evening at Mercy hospital you hear from all over the house the little bedtime voices, and the sound blends into something sweet and dear which hardly forms itself into words. To you who have not heard 1t, 1t would seem the strangest sort of music, coming from all the wards and rooms and balconies around you-on the lower floor, on the upper, and sounding up and down the stairs wherever you might be. It is just the quiet little chatter of many, many children ready for sleep, and the doctors and nurses have heard 1t every night for 20 yea(s. and they wonder why it is- with ctiiid love so ready to respond to a cali like that of little Helen Keller, the crowded wards at Mercy and yet so little known to those who say-"1 Sympathize." e."-Mercy's Messenger.

Bluff That Worked.

The whole world loves circus. The exceptions are so few that they need not count. To make a bid for atten- tion is the common method of forcing men and women to knowledge that one is worth knowing. It drives men to schemes and women to dress ex- travagance. A man who had been of some social consequence in his city accepted business position in larger one and made acquaintances by his assiduous attendance at the opening of new plays. Only to the few did he confess how insignificant were his sleeping quarters or where he took his meals. His excellent clothing and his presence at theaters were taken as an indication of prosperity that would provide a good home; he was content to be judged by his appear ance since it put an end to loneliness.

Couldn't Deceive Him.

At special performance in New York scene was being offered from a new play in which the principal male character had occasion to quote the "seven ages of man" speech from Shakespeare. He read the lines with such telling effect that the audience burst into prolonged applause, tempo rarily stopping the action of the piece. In the pause that succeeded the out burst sophisticated looking youth of typical Broadway aspect was ob. served by one who sat just behind him to lean sideways and remark in the attentive ear of young woman companion: "Say, the fellow that wrote this play IS a thief! Nearly all of that last stuff is very popular saying"

Removing Dent. From Furniture.

When wood is badly dented or scratched, 1t is often | problem to know how to get rid of the raarks. This is quite easy If the following plan Is adopted: First of all, fold piece of plotting paper ak least four times; then saturate with waker, finally allowing the superhuovs mois- ture to drip away. Now heat a fiat iron until 1t Is about the warmth re quired for laundry work. Place the damp plotting paper over the dent and press firmly with the iron. As soon as the paper dries examine the mark. It will then be found that the cavity has filled up to surprising extent. Where the dent is very deep a second, or even a third. application on the lines indicated might be tried. Sooner or later even serious depressions can be drawn up. and most people who have not tried this plan will be sur. prised at the result of the treatment.

Poverty a stImuIant.

The stings of poverty are often the incentives that sfir to action. A fellow will bestir himself mighty hard before he will starve. And if he has the right self-respect he will go the limit before he will resort to charity. All over the land there are men looking for fellows with the right metal for big enter prises. When they see fellow trying to make good they usually see that he gets the chance. In the hustle for bread and butter habits are formed that often lead to marked efficiency. Necessity often starts movements that result in untold good. What is con- pulsion at first often becomes privilege and pleasure later on.

ARE MEDICINES LIQUORS?

A certain class of pfeJudlce anu jealous doctors call patent medicines only alcoholic beverages. They will tell you that such and such a medi- cine contains as much alcohol as a glass of beer or a certain quantity of whiskey; but they do not mention that the beer or whiskey is swal- lowed at one draught, while only a small quantity of the medicine is talk en at one dose. At the same time they will use alcohol quite as freely and many in four or five times as great proportions in their own prescriptions.
 Such standard remedies as Lydia E.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound use barely enough alcohol to preserve the root and herb extractives, too little to have injurious effects; and the med icine can be had, if desired, in a onn- alcoholic form.-Advt.

 the Housewives league will be lnvlt- ed to name committees to assist in

 ly expected that a result of the prope which is to
 be conducted the cost of a num- Der farticles of staple and stand

 more reasonable price. Most of the
 speakers Sunday night pointed, par
 ticularly to the fact that Irish po-
 tatoes jumped from $1.50 to $3 per bushel within the past two or three days. with no apparent reason for the increase in price.

New Flying Target.

To take the place of clay pigeons, glass balls and similar flying targets |nsed by sportsmen in gun practice, |small. propeller shaped device has been Brought out in France, says the Popu- |lar Mechanics Magazine. It is made Inf steel and is shot into the air by |+he strong spring of an instrument (which revolves it rapidly as it is re- beased. The object can be made to |ascend to a considerable height, and |then planes for some distance before to SaH. As soon as it is tstruck by a shot, however, it's rotary motion stops and it falls to the ground.
 Aside from the matter of cost, an ad-
 vantage of tlAe device is that it may be carried in the pocket.

can SO easily prove.
