The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1916-08-31

FOR more than year, The Jefersonian has
earnestly endeavored to explain how the
gamblers obtained insurance Of $40, on bale
of cotton which they bought for 500.
Apparently, have not succeeded in MAX
ing myself understood.
The facts seem so incredible that folks are
slow to believe them.
For instance, consider the following letter:
Il
Lowland, N c., August 49, 1915.
The Jeffersonan Publishing Co.
Dear Sir: In your paper of August 18th you
speak Of the Government insuring 80 dollar bales
of cotton at 70 dollars EAle. Was the cotton the
Government insured compressed bales of cotton,
two bales i'll one or it not compressed bales,
two bales in one. l ask for information.
Please answer in The Jeffersonian
i Yours truly,
S. J. CLARK.
1:
Let me try my hand one more time:
In September, 1914 the price of cotton
dropped to 6 cents, and the cost of ocean in
surance jumped to 90 per cent Of the value Of
the ships and cargoes insured.
The cotton gamblers were hungry for bales
at $50 each, but they did not want to pay one
Ftth Of the VGLue to insure it.

indication of the fact. He had been wait
ing year for something of this sort.
"Anyhow, Don went on, "he took
notion to tie up most of the estate Ex-
cept for the house-well, he left me pretty
nearly strapped. Before that, he'd been
letting me draw on him for anything l
wanted. When asked you for Frances l
expected things would go on as they were.
"When the change came, 1 had talk
with Frances, and we agreed that the
thing to do was for me to go out and earn
about the same sum dad had been hand
ing to me. Ten thousand year seemed
at the time what we needed She said
that was what her allowance had been.
Again Don paused, in the hope that
Stuyvesant might wish to contribute
something to the conversation. But
Stuyvesant waited for him to continue.
$50 went out to earn it. Barton found
position for me with Carter, Rand &
Seagraves, and 1 started in. It's fact
l expected to get that ten thousand inside
of year.
Don lighted a cigarette. The further
he went, the less interest he was taking
in this explanation. Stuyvesant's appar-
ent indifference irritated him.
'@That was a year ago." Don resumed.
To-day I'm drawing the same salary I
started with-twelve hundred. l expect
a raise soon-perhaps to twenty-five hun

dred. But the point is this: l figure that
it's going to take me some five years to
get that ten thousand. l don't want to
wait that long before marrying Frances.
Another point is this: don't think any
longer that it's necessary. | figure that
we can live on what I'm earning now. So
I've put it up to her"
ION had hurried his argument little,
but, as far as he was concerned, he was
through. The whole situation was dis
tasteful to him. The longer he stayed
here, the less it seemed to be any of Stuy-
vesant's business.
3You mean you've asked my daughter
to marry you on that salary" inquired
Stuyvesant.
81 asked her this afternoon" nodded
Don. II suggested that we get married
tomorrow or next day. You see, I'm on
my vacation, and have only two weeks.
Stuyvesant flicked the ashes from his
cigar. "And what was her reply?"
3She wanted me to put the proposition
before you. That's why I'm here.
II see. And just what do you expect
of me?"
IL suppose she wants your consent"
answered Don. anyhow, it seemed only
decent to let you know"

Don was remarkably COOL So was
Stuyvesant; but there was nothing re-
markable about that. When his daughter
told him that Don was waiting to see
him, his eyes narrowed the least bit and
he glanced at his watch. He had a
bridge engagement at the club in half an
hour. Then he placed both hands on his
daughters shoulders and studied her eyes.
"What's the matter girlie?" he asked.
Nothing, dad she answered. "Only
I'm very happy
3Good, he nodded. "And that is what I
want you to be every minute of your life"
Entering his study, Stuyvesant sat
down in big chair to the right of the
open fire and waved his hand to another
opposite him.
Frances said you wished to talk over
something with me-" he said.
ayes, SIR answered Don. He did not
sit down. He could think better on his
feet. @It's about our marriage"
Stuyvesant did not answer. He never
answered until the other man was through.
Then he knew where he stood. ~

Water in Farm Homes,

Running water in the kitchen Is u
hope that many farm women will see
realized this year. This Is one of the
ways by which the silent partners
nre removing drudgery from farm life.
Efficiency is the keynote Of the day,
and the women have found that pack
ing" water by hand is inefficient, when
for small cost, the water can be
piped to faucets in their kitchens. A
simple system consisting Of pump
attached to the kitchen sink, with
pipes and connections, can be installed
for $18. The next system, costing
about $50, consists of force pump
kitchen sink with waste pipe, and n
tank to which the water is pumped
and Is ready for use ut all times. An
other system supplying both hot and
cold water can be put in for about $40.
Other more elaborate systems with
bathroom outfits have been designed
for those who want greater comforts.

Strange is the march Of time. The
billy and nanny goat were once dom.
mating feature in every civilized
American community. Zim writes In
Cartoons Magazine. A snapshot could
not have been taken without goat
somewhere in the picture. but the goat
was not deemed fit insect to hobnoh
in swell society. Its product might
be admitted across the threshold OF
the RICH but not its savory self. The
highest standard the goat has ever
attained is the mascotship Of volun
teer fire company, or a similar Office
in the United States navy, which was
practically the lowest rank of any
living thing aboard. In his palmy days
vivid posters were often seen Of him
