tary. After returning from the Ber-

cidents about Disraeli. He said that
Bismarck was very fond OF Disraeli
and that he had three portraits in

Emperor William and Dsraeli--and
that when you came 10 see Bis

The Boy and the Revolver.
~ DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

A revolver is an instrument for pro-
ducing death. Do not forget that. Its
aim and purpose is to take life. The
only reason you have for carrying a re-
volver is that you expect to slaughter an
animal, murder human being, or exc
cute a criminal.
Consequently, unless you are BUTCH
er, murderer or an officer of the law,
you have no business with one.
The boy likes to own a revolver, to
handle and shoot it, because the fasci-
nation of killing is in his blood. Kill
ing is the oldest form of sport. Kill
ing animals was the original game OF
the commons. Killing men has always
been the favorite pastime Of kings and
mobiles.
The argument for national prepared
ness is that every nation should SO
armed because there are bad nations
who are liable to attack their peaceful
neighbors, but that argument breaks
down when it is applied to individuals,
certainly, for the unsafest man in civ
iliZed town is an armed man. To be
ready to shoot is to invite getting shot,
and to be ready for trouble is to adver-
tise for trouble
This is so true that there is a law in
every state prohibiting the carrying Of
firearms.
The best thing boy can do with a
revolver, therefore, is to let it alone. He
is better off without owning one without
borrowing one. without playing with one,
without understanding one, and without
having access to one.
If, in the course Of his career, he shall
be called on to become a soldier, a police
man, or hunter it will take him but
a few days to learn how to handle the
deathdealing instrument of his profess
sion
Don't keep revolver in your bureau
drawer, or under your pillow. to be pre-
pared for burglars. When burglar gets
in, he is ready to kill, and expert in kill
ing; you haven't chance in the world
against him. Most of those who get
killed by burglars are those who shoot
at them. And many an innocent men,
Der Of the family has been killed by the
handy revolver under the pillow, by one
who is excited, half awake, dreaming or
otherwise confused.
One is liable to make a mistake at any
time; we are all human, and accidents
will happen, but the mistake you make
with the revolver is the kind you make
but once. a mistake that means death, a
little slip Of one second that means re-
morse all the rest of your life.
Civilization means the constantly adj
vancing conviction of the preciousness of
human life. Life means more and more
as mankind progresses. And the instru.
ments Of taking life are not to be played
with There is nothing heroic or fine
about indifference to or carelessness with
life and death; it is symptom of saw
agery, madness or criminaity; it char
acterizes Hottentots, war men and BAN
dts.
There may come a time when life is
to be sacrificed, but then it is to be done
solemnly, with all intelligence and for
some high cause.
The ordinary man has little or no use
for a revolver, the boy has done at all.

The Old Gardener Says

That II Is a good plan to place
a handful OF wood ashes around
the roots OF the late asters when
the latter are set out In order
to keep the root aphis away. And
II Is important not to plant as
tiers in the same place twice In
succession. Blight, which turns
the plants yellow or makes them
wilt down can be prevented by
spraying with Bordeaux mixture
or one OF the patent preparations
sold at all seed stores. II Is too
late, though. after the trouble
shows itself. Prevention must
be the rule.

They have decided upon an earlier
date than originally suggested to notify
Charles +. Hughes that he was nominat-
ed in Chicago. At that, well wager he
has a sneaking suspicion right now as to
whom it was the convention named.
The aviator they refused to let go up
down east because he was under the in
fluence Of liquor, seems to have shown up
in condition that might be called in his
case, air tight
One thing in favor Of Mr.. Hughes is
the fact that he does not keep cat,
which we infer from the fact that he
does keep a canary.
The failure Of the Republican candi-

PLAN FOR STORAGE.

Right now is the time for progress Isive cotton farmers to consider what they are going to do with their cottos this fall. Are they going to dump 1t on the market as usual, or are they going to store it and thus steady the market and in all probability get a
 better price? It is not within the province of the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas and U. S. Department of Agriculture to advise farmers when to sell or even to hold but it is clearly within the province to advise farmers to be prepared to hold If they so desire. The simplest plan for storing his six or twenty or forty bales although that may not be the wisest plan. The wise plan is un- |doubtedly for a dozen to thirty or more farmers to unite and build a warehouse at the shipping station. It will pay business men to join m the construction or Such WafehouSe as it will, nine years in ten, leave more money in the community than does the present plan of dumping all the cotton on the market right from the gin. But plan for storage as a way of being independest. Storage prices in Arkansas are really eXhorbitant, although the cost would be less in cooperative warehouse. August is for the cotton farmer a month of some leisure and it is a good time for pre- pairing sheds and cribs and bins for hay, corn and grain and cotton. These are steps towards independence and October 1, 1915, will be the first In dependence Day" for a good many Arkansas farmers.

MARKET REGAINS
 PREVIOUS LOSSES
Some Months Reach New Levels Close 2l to 26 Points Up Weather Report Shows Only
 Light Showers Texas and Ok.

New York, Aug. 5.-There was a renewal of active general buying in the cotton market this morning as a result of which prices recovered yes terday's losses, with December con-
 tracts selling up to 14.24c, while
 March made new high ground, selling at l4.46c, or 25 points net higher. The close was at practically the best point, with the tone steady at ad- vances of 24 to 26 points for the day, with December contracts quoted at 14.24c.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of s to 12 points. Prices re- acted to about last nights closing fig
 ures right after the call, with De- cember selling off from 140Sc to
 14.O0c and January from 1419c to
 l4.O7 as result of continued realiz- ing.
 Offerings were light and the mar
 ket soon steadied The western belt
 forecast for fair weather in Okla homa and partly cloudy conditions in
 Texas except for probable showers along the Texas coast stimulated the buying movement toward the middle of the morning and the demand be- came more active and general as prices worked higher. The detailed weather reports for Texas and Okla homa confirming the early impression
 that there had been only a few light
 showers and continued high tempera- lures in Oklahoma caused a further acceleration of the buying movement and the market was excited in the late trading with October selling up to 14.04c, and January to 14.33c. As Saturdays during August are holidays in Liverpool, there were no cables to influence sentiment either way

ECONOMIES MAIL EQUIPMENT
Great Saving of Money to the Gov ernment-Bags Now Purchased
 at Half Former Cost.

The people who see mail bags load ed on postal cars from the mail wagons of the government, or see them thrown off at the station in the cities, can form no idea of the immen- sity of this branch of the public ser vice. Statistics and tables of figures may have little interest for the ordi- nary reader, but when it is stated that the total number of mail bags used for transporting the mails amount to about five millions, and if placed end to end would stretch from Boston to San Francisco and extend into the Pacific Ocean. some estimate may be formed of the tremendous mass of such equipment needed in the dispatch of public business.
 At the beginning of this adminis- tratlon an inventory was taken to learn what equipment for railway postal transportation the government lad on hand. It was discovered that the grand total of such property was 3,549,4S9 pieces, of which 46S,S46 were mail pouches, 2,592,479 were sacks, and 4SS,l64 were mail locks. Since this inventory was made the growth of the service required the purchase of over one million and d ha1 mail bags to meet the steadily increasing demand. This business of the government is so enormous that d taoulatlon made in the Railway Mail nerVlce two years ago showed that the eight mail bag Repositories of the Ohltea States received and sent out agam during the year just preceding, nearly i0,oOOO00 sacks and pouches. AS lhe real amount of stock then was aoout 4,o00,000 it will be seen that thiS equipment was handled ten times oy the system of distribution devised 'o relieve congestion at one point and meet pressing demands at another. without which arrangement the pecu- liar eNacuons of the service could not 'e met The amount thus handled is "o" very much larger, sacks and pOO'"eS passing to and fro through 'neSe Repositories and the mail bag %'O'enouse at Washington aggregat- ing o6,OOO000 pieces.
