There is. moreover, another diSad
vantage inherent in the practice. Not
only does the farmer usually lose in
the marketing of any one crop, but he
is seriously hindered in improving his
cotton from year To year because
there is no incentive TO do SO. As the
buyer of seed cotton pays little or no
attention to grade and staple, the pro-
ducer is forced to think chiefly of the

You can spend money foolishly so
long that your conscience will not

a bad habit so long that you cease to
think it wrong. Even the best OF us,
with the most careful management,
are bound to waste a certain amount
Of money. Somehow it gets away
from us, try as we will to prevent it.
But the man who deliberately throws
his money at something he can't hit,
whether it be a negro's head or a
business proposition, must not com
plain if the ball goes wide of the
mark
II you can't resist this tendency
to throw things, either stay away
from such places, or don't carry much
money with you.
You can have a day at the beach
for a dollar Fifty cents for your
swim, ten cents for car fare and forty
cents for lunch. And that will put
red blood in your veins and key up
your appetite wholosomely. Three
balls for nickel never does that.
The crowd would rather look on
while you throw your money away
than TO throw their own: but what
compensation have you? When your
money is gone they will buy no shoes
for your babies, nor pay your rent
when you're sick, nor subscribe to
your pension when you're down and
out. Many a catastrophe in life is

GOOD RECOMMENDATION

CECRETARY of State j. A. Schmahl
- last Friday made very good recon-
~ mendation to the state efficiency and
economy commission, at the state capt.
toll, and in the interest of economy, it
would seem that the recommendation
should meet with favor. Mr.. Schmahl's
proposition is the formation of an execu-
tive council of elective state officials,
whose duty it would be to consider and
pass upon all matters relating to equip
appliances actually needed for carrying
on the public service. Mr.. Schmahl also
advised the abolishing of the state board
of audit, on the ground that its work is
done by the state examiner. A large
financial saving to the state would be the
result of adopting these suggestions and
making them effective. Springfield Ad-

GOV. BURNQUIST ON HIS OWN
RECORD

1T is quite certain that Gov. Burnquist
will be candidate to succeed himself
1 and in doing so it is quite likely that
he will merely stand on his own record as
a public official, not only as governor but
as lieutenant governor, and during his
service as member of the House of Rep
resentatives. He can we'll afford to do
this, for his record is clean and progress
sive, yet sane and reasonable. He has not
been a dodger and trimmer, neither has
he always been shouting from the house
tops. Since becoming governor there have
been rumors that he had formed political
combinations, some of them of doubtful
character, in an effort to build up his poll
teal fences. While the governor will no
doubt treat all factions Of the party fair
w.. we think we know the governor well
enough to be convinced that he will take
no backward step and make no sacrifice OF
principle under the hallucination that he
might better his political fortunes. Gov.
Burnquist can well afford to stand on his
own record for the best interests of the
people of the state as a whole, and we
dare say he will do that very thing. He
is not going to attempt to make this or
that man Lieutenant governor, or secretary
of state, or anything else, leaving those
questions for the voters of the party to

READING NOTICES
A WEE BIT SPRIG O. HEATHER
By Alex. Russell

A wee bit sprig O heather,
Frae COR hame across the main;
Sent by freen to Burns Club
In the City on the Plain.
We prize this wee bit token,
With it's never-failing charms,
Enhancing celebration
O. the natal day o Burns.
A wee bit sprig O. heather
Frae nearby that cottage door,
Where in childish glee we danced
In the golden days of yore.
It minds us O. fathers love,
And mither's watchfu' care
Before we thought to wander
Frae the bonny banks of Ayr.
A wee bit sprig o. heather,
Frae the martyrs lonely grave,
Where for truth and conscience sake
His life's blood he freely gave.
There the sky-lark sang sac sweet,
Floks and herds the hills did dot;
Bees were humming everywhere
And the com was in the grot.
The ripening fruit was bonnie
On the heavy-laden trees
And the reapers' CHEEKY song
Sweetly floated on the breeze.
The finnie tribe was sporting
In the sparkling Sunny Brook
A. nature seemed rejoicing
When the last farewell we took.
A wee bit sprig O heather
Frae the rugged mountains steep,
Abin the bonnie valley,
Where in peace COR kinsfolk sleep.
And noe we often wander
What strange spell could DER us steal
To while us frae that Valley
And the freens we lo'ed sac weel.
Fain we'd retrace COR footsteps,
To Ayers bonnie banks and braes
And rest life's weary burden,
In the gloamin' of COR days.
In dreams we aften fancy
On moor and dale or mountain steep
We feel the springy heather
AS of yore, beneath cor feet.
An joy We Gamma tell We
Cor whole being ever thrills,
To dream we roam mang Scotia's glens
And her bonnie, bonnie heather hills.
