SCARCITY OF LONG
STAPLE COTTON SEED

Washington, Dec. 25.-The bureau
of plant industry, U. S. department
of agriculture, has issued the follow
ing statement advising cotton grow
ers to make certain of their supply
of seed for planting:
All kinds of cotton seed are likely
to be scarce at planting time next
spring. The unprecedented prices
now being paid at the oil mills may
tempt many farmers to cut down
their reserves of planting seed or to
sell all of it, perhaps with the idea of
being able to buy seed of better
variety for only a little more than
the mills are now paying for ordinary
gin-run seed. While it is always de-
sirable to replace an inferior stock
with better one, it would be well to
make sure of the good planting seed
as soon as possible.
Special Demand for Long Staple Seed
Another danger to the seed supply
lies in the possibility that growers
who have good seed of superior var
ieties may think it easier to sell it at
once to the oil mill instead of holding
it to sell for planting. This is spe-
cial danger in connection with the
new early maturing long staple varie-
ties. AS only limited supplies of good
seed of these varieties are in exis-
tence, it may be urged that all of this
should be saved for planting purposes.
There is an active and rapidly increas-
ing demand for the longer staples,
with no immediate prospect Of over
production. The present demand is
likely to increase as fast as the sup
ply, if the production of such cotton
can be established on an adequate
SO that manufacturers can have the
same confidence is being able to Sc
cure stocks of long staple cotton that
they have with short staples.
At the present time the supply of
long staple cotton, especially that
from 1916 to IL inch in length, is
much below the demand This fact is
reflected in the large premiums being
paid for these extra staples. Prices
are now higher than at any time IN
the history of cotton production.

ARE IMPROVING
EVERY HOUR
Men of the Punitive Expedition in
Mexico Constantly Exercised i'm
Workmanship
ASSOCIATED Press)

Field Headquarters American Ex-
pedition in Mexico, Dec. 22.-Extra-
ordinary improvement in marksman-
ship is being noted in reports receiv-
ed at field headquarters. The regu-
lar life of the soldiers has steadied
their nerves, and the clear air of the
Mexican plateau region makes sight
ing easy. Another factor in the good
showing is the steady drill the men
have received in fire control, new
methods of which are being tried by
the cavalry with remarkable success.
Machine gun troops also are beng
drilled to use their arms to the best
advantage. Recently several COM
panies of the 18th Infantry were
brought north from Ell Vale and
demonstrations of fire control were
given for the benefit of the officers
stationed there. The machine gun
work was under the direction of Cap
tain F. S. Bowen, assisted by Capt.
w. c. Short.
Among the most interesting expert
ments now being conducted is that in
pistol firing by a detachment of cav
airy, chosen at random. A pistol
board, which is conducting the work,
has evolved unique line of targets
worked by ropes and pulleys, which
fall fiat when the cavalry charge
over them. The attempt is being
made to evolve system of pistol
firing while charging. At present the
men are firing directly ahead while
leaning forward in their saddles and
holding their arms just ahead to the
right of their mounts ears. Excel
lent results, it is said, have already
been obtained.
When ammunition arrives, another
interesting test will be made, that of
determining how effectually the pres
ent three-ineh field gun will demolish
barbed wire entanglements, trenches
and bomb proofs. A line of fortifca-
tions has been constructed as nearly
like those in Europe as possible. The

HOBLEMAN KILLS
TWO; CONF!ESSES
Member OF One of Oldest Families in
Sweden Admits Numbering Banker
and Woman Clerk.

Stockholm, Correspond
ence of the Associated Press Leon
ard Rudolph Alexander Gyllenpalm, a
member of one of the Oldest families in
Sweden-a family knighted in the nth
century and registered in the "Riddar-
hus," or Swedish House of Mobiles
confessed to the double murder which
recently occurred in one of the branch
banks of Stockholm, and which stirred
all Sweden because Of the brutality and
mystery of the crime The manager of
the bank was found with a Ratchet in
his skull and woman clerk was shot
dead.
The chance capture of Gyllenpalm
and his own cold-blooded story of the
crime have made thrilling reading for
the Swedish people His nemesis
worked in the person of a young Swe-
dish woman with a good memory for
faces. She had seen the nobleman
emerge from the bank. and though she
did not then know of any murder hav-
ing been committed, she noticed there
was something strange about his man
ner. When she herself had entered the
bank she found the bodies of the man
ager and the woman clerk, and then
realized that the man she had seen
hurrying from the place must have
been the murderer. She described the
man to the police as best she could,
but the detectives made absolutely no
headway until. more than a fortnight
afterward, the same young lady passed
the murderer on the street. She
thought she recognized him but was
not sure. With girl companion she
followed the man several blocks until
they fell in with a policeman to whom
the girl told her suspicious, and the Of
ficer decided to arrest him.
The nobeman at first denied all
knowledge of the crime, but after he
had been held for two days, an analysis
of some spots on his clothes and shoes
established that they were stains Of
human blood and when confronted
with this evidence. Gyllenpalm con-
fessed. He said he was in desperate
need OF money and had planned the
crime weeks ahead. He only intended,
however. to kill the branch manager,
thinking no one else would be at the
hank at the time. He carried the
Ratchet in a leather portfolio, or law
yer's brief case. He was surprised TO
see the woman clerk and followed his
first impulse to shoot. Having commit
ted the double murder, he became
alarmed and fed without securing any
money whatever.
Direct from the scene he went to a
restaurant a few blocks away and
Joined party Of friends at mid Say
breakfast, eating a hearty meal and
drinking several glasses OF wine. That
afternoon the newspapers were full of
the accounts Of the mysterious murder.

Gyllenpalm asked the policeman if he
thought the murderer would be caught
Yes" replied the officer. If he is
fool enough to try to leave the city.
We have everything watched. If he
stays in town though, it will be more
difficult"
Il decided to stop in town" said
Gyllenpalm in his confession.
Always fond OF cafe and restaurant
life, the murderer did not alter his
course OF living in any way. But evil
IDENTIFY he began to worry, for after d
week had elapsed he cabled TO his
father in Russia for funds to carry
him to that country. This money
which might have enabled him to es-
cape to complete safety for the rest Of
his days arrived in Stockholm the
morning after his arrest.
BY reason Of his nobility of birth,
Gyllenpalm can choose that he be put
to death with the sword instead Of the

ENTITLED TO A SECOND TERM

The gubernatorial outlook is well
set forth in the following editorial
from the Dillon Herald:
The question uppermost in the
minds of the voters just at this time
is What effect will Cooper's an
nouncement have on Manning's
chances Off reelection" We have
been asked this question dozens of
times and the best reply we can give
is. I'VE don't know" Our opinion
is, however. that Cooper's chances of
beating Manning are not as good as
they were two years ago. Two years
ago Cooper was strong with the
masses of the people. The strength
he developed at the close of the cam
paign was one OF the most surprising
features of the 1914 primary. All
at once he seemed to become the pop
ular idol of the people. but his pop
ularity seems to have been transient.
When the result OF the primary be-
came known one could hear on every
hand the expression, "Well. Cooper
will be the logical man for governor
four years from now" No one-not
even Cooper's warmest supporters
seemed to entertain the idea that he
would oppose Manning in 1916. This
idea seems to have become so firm
ly fixed in the minds Of the people
that now when one asks a former
Cooper supporter the question.
"What do you think Of Cooper's
,hauces?" the reply nine times out
Df ten is We'll. I would have sup
ported Cooper two years hence, but
think he made a mistake in COM
ing out this year. This is a Senti-
ment that will be hard to down. We
