A WORD TO FARMERS ON SMITH
LEVER BILL.

The cotton situation at this mo-
ment is very delicate one and it
will require the best judgment of
the south and the most intimate CO.
operation between business men and
farmers. The proponents and sup
porters of the Smith-Leyer bill, in
its original form. undoubtedly had
good grounds, out of a spirit of fair
ness to the American cotton indus
try, TO expect the cooperation OF
foreign exchanges. The American
government, particularly through
the department of agriculture. in
conjunction with all of the impor-
tant interests connected with the
cotton trade, has brought great pres
sure to bear upon European ex-
changes to so regulate their stand
ards and form of contract as to
make it conform with the United
States cotton futures act, These eff
forts were unsuccessful

|INvlLIo CELEBRATES HER
GOTH Anniversary IN DED

NEW YORK, Feb. fifty years
ago today little 16-year old GIRL
was put to bed in a room at loo
Gates street, Brooklyn. She stiil is
in bed. She never has been out OF
it, not once in fifty years. She new
or will be out again, except on one
occasion; and that occasion Molly
Fancher laughs at, when she takes
the trouble to consider it at all.
Mollie has three children" three
fine boys Loretta, the eldest Is
20 and slowly dying in the glum ST.
lence of a Grabbed old age. His
plumage, once brilliantly green;
and his eyes once sparkling and
sly, are as dull as his conversation.
Loretta is sage soul. He has ruled
countless families of short-lived eats
and dogs to Mollie Fancher's salts
faction. Altogether Loretta has
served Mollie well as son for TWEEN
ty years; and he loves her and she
loves him; poor, mishamed old man
that he is.
Joe, a mere stripping of IL years,
is cock o. the walk these days; and
he rules in high feather. with
gutteral chuckle and raucous clack
that wins smile from Mollie and
baleful glare 'from his brother
Dickie Boy is a mere infant; sort
OF adopted on probation, you know;
but though small and somewhat
frowned upon at first, he has sung
his way into the hearts of Mollie,
Loretta and Joe in the eight years
he has been at it.
And they don't have bad time
of 1t at all, that quartet. They talk
about everything, Mollie taking the
lead and choosing the subject, Joe
cackling along empty-headedly, Lo-
retta grumbling and blinking, while
modest little Dickie Boy just pipes
up once and while.
The late ST. Clair McElway, found
er and editor of the Brooklyn Eagle,
was one of Mollie Fancher's best
friends. Most of her childhood
friends, like McElway, have died in
the last few years and Mollie says
sometimes now she almost feels
like a forgotten old woman"
"At first, right after the acct
dent" said Mollie Fancher today,
81 wanted to die but | soon got over
that. Many queer things have been
said and written about me, but
nothing is true except that l am
crippled old woman who has been
in bed fifty years. One man here in
Brooklyn years and years ago wrote
book about me telling that | was
a clairvoyant and lot of other
stuff If | am a clairyoyant or any
of the queer things he said about
me, I don't know it. About the
most wonderful thing about me,
(and it isn't wonderful at all be-
cause anybody. can prove it,, is that
my life has proved that the human
soul is greater than the body"
Mollie Fancher is an ardent suf-
fragist, reads a great deal, has some
very decided opinions about the war
that are far from anything even re-
motely resembling neutrality; and
is a much alive and extraordinarily
active woman, considering that she
hasn't been out of bed for half
hundred years.
