GEORGIA SMISTERS"

The Times Recorder has already
paid its respects to the Georgia col
oael" who does not earn his title by
military rank. The Greensboro Her
seems to think that as
long as we call railway conductors,
"Cap'n.," and cops by the affectionate
title of Boss then we might be
able to continue the epithet of col
oael" for other classes of civilians.
There is a sentiment being worked
up against the application of col
onel" to so many gentlemen of the
state, and it is expected that the
Georgia Bar Association will take
some action along this line at their
annual meeting at Tybee.
The Savannah Morning News keeps
up the question and looks at the ques-
ton similar to this paper, They had
the following editorial:
This question of what to do with
the Georgia colonel who did not earn
his title in uniform will not down.
Lots of folks may not have walked up,
until recently, to a realization of how
amusing and absurd the military han
die looks when attached to a nom
military person or parsonage, but
most folks seem to be awake now. A
good many men who have well earned
the title have tired Of it merely be-
cause it is worn unblushingly by so
many men who have as much right to
be called Your Majesty as Colonel
Why does not somebody who is very
fond of title and who apparently
does not object to seeing his name in
print as Col John Doe,' have some
cards printed with the legend, King
John Doe?' The King would be
hardly more absurd than the Col.
There would be a difference of degree,
perhaps, but not of kind.
"All of which gives occasion for re-
peating the suggestion made some
time ago that the Georgia Bar Asso-
citation, at its meeting at Tybee the
first three days of June, take up this
matter of Georgia colonies and sit
down hard upon the association men,
Der who delights in the title without
having earned it. If the Bar Associa-
ton leads the way it may not be so
difficult to cause a wholesale shocking
of titles by non-lawyers who have not
earned them. Let there be soon a
wholesome return to the good old
fashioned title of Mister which is the
only title to which a male Georgian
should fall heir, and the only one
which he should have merely by grow
ing up. Mister is a pretty good title
after all, even if it is seldom seen in
the crowd of colonies and majors, and
the like that flourish in Georgia"

politics of the national situation is
that thousands of Republicans who

Roosevelt or remain away from the

THE COOT SEASON.

The coot season is now in full swing
along the Maine coast. Out at the tip
end of Cape Elizabeth the members of
the life saving crew and their families
are having their fill of the gamey sea-
fowl. Incidentally. the chef at the sta
ton knows how to cook coot. And that
is the whole story. The flesh is natural
ly rather strong and fshy, but, properly
prepared. coot stew with dumplings, is
not to be turned aside lightly. So, too,
is roast, stuffed coot dish for the
gods if the trick is turned rightly. The
cook who tries to prepare any of the sea-
fowl now scurrying along our shores in
such numbers in the same manner as do
nestle fowl might be prepared is in for a
disappointment. Nothing tastes much
worse than a coot that has not been sep
arated from its strong. gamey taste.
Some experts parboil the birds, wash
them in many waters, removing the OBJ
jectionable flavor in different manners,
and then bake in an oven, first scoring
the breast and binding on strips of bacon
or fat salt pork, the juices from which
work all through the birds. Cooked in
this manner the humble coot is fit to
grace the table of any epicure. The coot
season closes December 1st and no more
may be shot until August 31st.-Portland

At the commencement Of another Chau-
tauqua year the C. L. S. C's of Belfast

course of reading and study pursued by
the beginning of the thirty-frst year of
Chautauqua work by Seaside C. L. S.

greater interest and helptulness. This
reading comprises four cloth bound Chau-
tauqua books, all relating to one gen.

tween Two Wars" Belgium the Land
of Art, Things Men Fight For" and,
in addition The Round Table, monthly
Chautauqua Bulletin, teaching and Illus
trative material, and one year S subscrip-
ton to The Independent, weekly maya
zine covering the topics of the day. The
present conditions lend quite peculiar in
terest to this course of reading.
While the Chautauqua reading course
is always helpful to either the individual
or the group, yet never in our history has
there been equal need for just such a
course of study. This C. L. S. C. read
ing does not deal with the war, but gives
US knowledge of conditions before the
great conflict broke out and an insight
into the National ideals and ambitions
and the historical trend which swept the
nations into vortex. This year, as a
matter of public service, we seek to en-
roll as many readers as possible. No one
wishes to leave off being educated, for
when education ends, life ends. Then
take course of reading and study. All
persons read, but too many read without
any plan and to no purpose. The C. l..
S. C. is useful alike to the person of
limited training, who may labor many
nights over each book and the active
vigorous man of affairs, who can sweep
through them in a few hours. This Chau-
tauqua reading was the first, and is still
the best, and has worldwide fame.

those who sought health by drinking
the mineral water were heroes indeed,
for no physician ever mixed worse dose
than these springs contain.
And now it was time to turn toward
the east again. Great indeed was the
change from fields of gorgeous Califor-
MIA peoples to the evergreen and snowy
heights of the Sierras.
The great event of this journey was
the crossing of the Great Salt Lake,
where for about thirty miles the train
goes by means of the Lucin Cutoff,
across the calm, glistening water.
Ogden was the next stopping place
and proved to be city of marked con-
trast, for it lies warm, green and flower
covered beneath hills covered with snow.
A few hours ride brought the travellers
to Salt Lake City, just at the time of
Mormon Conference. They found a
beautifully clean and prosperous city,
and ride gave them glimpse of The
Beehive Official home of the Mormon
Presidency and so named not because it
was Brigham Young's home but from a
huge gilded hive upon the top; the
Amelia Palace, Ia beautiful house built
for the seventeenth Mrs. Young), the
new State House, Maude Adams home
and the Tabernacle, with it's fine organ
and wonderful acoustic properties. The
three listened in amazement to the sound
of falling pin, dropped some 250 feet
away.
The journey continued through pict-
uresque mountain regions and then prai-
RE to Omaha. From here to Chicago,
with it's noise and hustle and beautiful
parks, and on to Columbus and then a
longer stay at the little town Of Uhrichs-

spent very happy time there in renew
ing old acquaintance.
Next came Pittsburg, but sickness
and bad weather prevented the family
from going about the smoky city. The
journey now continued through the hills
of the coal and oil regions to Philadel-
phia, where fortune played false ly and
the sickness of the mother of the family
made the stay anything but pleasant
one. A few visits were made, however,
by father Simmons and Alice to the
places of interest, and at last the sick
one was able to come home and the three
were once more safe at their 'ain fire.

WEEKLY REVIEW
 OF COTTON MARKET
Apprehension of UnfavOr- able International Affairs
 Cause of Decline

New York, February 1.-The cotton market has showed continued nervous ness during the past week. with prices making new low ground for the move ment under further liquidation and scat tered selling. Weakness in the Liverpool market promoted the decline here during the earlier part of the week, and May contracts sold as low as il .90c on Wednes- day or within 15 points of the lowest price reached on the break of last No vember and about 8 90 per bale under the high record of the season. Rallies of some p to 27 points followed on an i'm proved tone in Liverpool, covering and trade buying, but the market showed more or less nervousness again during today's trading, with sentiment unsettled by apprehension of unfavorable interna- tional developments. A recount of tho Liverpool stock resulting in a net in crease of 52,854 bales was considered part ly responsible for the declines abroad while the selling here was also encour- aged by reports of lower southern spot markets, or expectations of increased of ferings with the nearer approach of the planting season On the decline of nearly lc pound from the high level of January 10 there was considerable covering, how eyer accompanied by rumors that some Ol tue iuOIt dSSTeSSlNe recent sellers were rebuyfng and considerable reactionary sentiment was in evidence on the rally Local bulls have attributed the declines in southern spot markets to sales of hedged cotton. rather than to any general weakness on the part of holders, and buying may have been encouraged by rumors of a slightly easier freight situ- ation, the continued activity of domestic splnners and the larger export clearances. Reports reaching here from the south have been more or less conflicting both with reference to spot conditions and acreage prospects. Advices from Ala bama indicate that sales of fertilizer tags have been far short of normal and there have been reiterated reports that much cotton is held in the interior by English German and Austrian interests. The third cotton crop forecast of 1915-16 for India indicates an area of 17,390,0O0 acres against 23,977,o00 at the same date last year, and suggested a crop of 3,6S7OGo bales of 400 pounds each compared with last years indication of 4,993,000, or & decrease of 26 per cent.
