GERMANY PLAYING
 TO THE GALLERIES
IFrom Manufacturers Record,
 Baltimore.)

tFrom Manufacturers Record, Baltimore.)
 The German press agent announces through American papers that a won derful thing has been accomplished in making paper out of cotton stalks, and promptly L. E. Palmer, manager of the American Newspaper Publish ers' Association. says: If the Ger mans have solved the problem, they will have rendered the United States valuable service, and it ought to bring millions to the inventor of the process"
 The American inventor of the pro- cess or rather the American invent ors of the processes, for making paper out of cotton stalks have for years yainly sought to enlist American cap ital in the utilization of cotton stalks for paper production. The Manufac- turers Record has repeatedly referred t) successful tests and mentioned the fact that a good quality of paper made from cotton stalks had been sent to this office. As yet no commercial sue cess has been made, but whether this IS due to the lack of capital to make a commercial success out of experi- mental successes, or whether it is due to the fact that under former condi- tons paper made from cotton stalks could not compete in price with paper made from wood pulp, remains to be seen None of these inventors had such good press agent as the report ed German discovery.
 There are serious disadvantages agalnSt the gathering of cotton stalks Tn sufficient quantity and at a price to justify the profitable operation of a mill using them as raw material TOT paper. Under the exorbitant prices Of today conditions may have managed, and those who for years nave sought to enlist capital in mak- ing paper from cotton stalks may "O", perchance, find capital more sea0y to investigate, but processes ,OF making paper from cotton stalks nave been before the public for years.

DEATHS l,497,
 TOTAL CASES 6,635

New York, Aug. 16.-While Sep tember 25 was set today as the ten tative day for opening public schools of this city, postponed from Septem- Der II, because of the epidemic of infantile paralysis, Health Commis- sioner Emerson said it was by no means certain New York's one mil lion school children under sixteen years of age should resume their studies that early.
 Definite plans can not be made. Dr. Emerson, informed William c. Will cox, president of the board of educa- ton, because it is impossible to fore see whether the disease can be checked or whether the epidemic will assume still greater proportions.
 Another decrease in deaths and new cases today encouraged the health authorities. There were 34 deaths today and 113 new cases, making the total fatalities 1,497 and the total cases 6,635.

CUT UP CORN.

Arkansas farmers should break away from that queer old habit of fodder pulling" and cut up the corn and feed the whole stalk. Cut the corn and shock it in the field or if in small field, haul to the fence or to the shed and thus leave the field clear for seeding wheat or rye or oats for winter pasture. or for a grain crop. Cattle will eat the blades and at least 40 per cent of the stalk. Of course, if a man does not need any of the stalk for feed it can be left and plowed under. Then if the corn is to be shipped to market it must be husked, the husks removed from the ears as is the custom in Missouri and Illinois where corn is prepared for market.

reply to direct questions, and in the
presence of Mr.. Mayberry and Mr.. Lit
tie, who has been assistant to Mr..
Powell in Texas and who had been
with Mr.. Powell earlier in the even

was in a more laxative mood than

"You did not say, then, that you

Mr.. Powell asserted there had been

that he supposed che had said too

too much.'

Mr.. Powell, 81 esteemed him when
