The artist glanced at Lonny's wiry
figure and nut brown skin. Something
stirred him to a passing irritation.

tiously, don't spend any more money
for paint. It isn't picture at all. It's
Il gun. You hold up the state with it
if you like and get your $1,000, but

TO celebrate the passage of the bill by

Lonny led his cohorts straight for the

Professional Men.
NIinneapOlis.-Wh ''feller' shakes
hands about $4,000 times a year he
ought to develop into cOnnOiSSeur, in
the opinion Of Hector L. Bourgerie,
'greeter extraordinary of the Nfcollet

last year at the 'greeterS' " convention
in California.
Hotel men. who have to place much
trust in thousands of persons, consider
the handshake reliable index to char

eve can make q fair guess as to
mans occupation when we clasp his
hand" he continued. "The farmer or
laborer has callouses on his hand. We
cannot mistake him. A fellow with
soft hands who says he's a farmer
arOuSes our suspicious.
I'VE have to distinguish professional
men by subtle characteristics in their
grips. For example, pastor is likely
to hold your hand as long as you let
him. A travelling man usually gives
you hard. quick grip. | should say
that this clasp is one of the most pleas
urable and satisfactory. 1t paves the
way for business. A doctor is inclined
to advance his fingers to your wrists.
You get the idea that he wants to feel
your pulse
1.-THE lawyer is a frequent gripper.
He has tendency to try you as to all
the fraternal orders of which he may
be a member. He developed the grip
ping habit at college and has found it
q valuable asset in his business, eSpe
cially if he's a politician. The teacher
shakes hands less than other profess
sional men He does not have to cult
vate popular good will. His clasp is a
cross between that of preacher and
a salesman"
Bourgerie extended his hand for in
spection. You will notice that the
muscles are exceptionally developed
for one who doesn't labor hard"
Bourgerie has a grip like a wise.

teriZation of him. No one has been

"a firm grip may be taken as mark
of sincerity. With your friends 1t be-
tokens more than pleasure at seeing
you. 1t indicates honesty and a few
other qualifications that society has
found Indispensable"
Bourgerie expects to shake hands at
least a million times in the next dec
ade. He already has shaken 100000
hands and predicted future annual
average of 10000.

THE THRlCE-A-WEEK EDITION OF
The NEW YORK WORLD
Practically Daily at the Price Of -
Weekly. No other Newspaper in
the World Gives So Much at
So Low a Price.

The year 1914 has been the most extraordinary
in the history of modern times. It has wit
messed the outbreak of the great European war,
a struggle 50 titanic that it makes all others
look small.
You live in momentous times, and you should
not miss any of the tremendous events that are
occurring No other newspaper will inform you
with the promptness and cheapness of the
Thrice "a Week edition of the New York World
Moreover, a years subscription to it will take
you far into our next Presidential campaign.
THE THRICE-A-WEEK WORLDS regular
subscription price is only s1.OO per year, and
this pays for 156 papers. We offer this uu-
equalled newspaper and The Iowa County Dem
ocrat together for one year for $500.
The regular subscription price of the two
papers is S2.25.

ers. Into the resounding hallway they
passing Oh foot. Lonny, in the lead,
showed Hot TamaleS direct for the
great picture. At that hour down
pouring, soft light from the second
story windows bathed the big canvas.
Against the darker background of the
hall the painting stood out with valu-
able effect. In spite of the defects OF
the art you could almost fancy that
you gaZed out upon landscape. You
might we'll finch a step from the con-
vincing figure Of the life sized steer
stampeding across the grass. Perhaps
scene was in his line. Perhaps he only
obeyed the will Of his rider. His ears
pricked up; he snorted. LOnny leaned
forward in the saddle and elevated his
elbows, Wing-like. Thus signals the
coWpuncher to his steed to launch him
self full speed ahead. Did Hot Ia
males fancy he saw q steer, red and
cavorting, that should be headed off
and driven back to herd? There was
a fierce clatter Of hoofs, a rush, gath
ering of steely flank muscles, leap
to the jerk of the bride rein, and Hot
Tamales, with Lonny bending low in
the saddle to dodge the top of the
frame, ripped through the great can
vas like a shell from q mortar, leaving
the cloth hanging in ragged shreds
about q mOnstrOus hole.
Quickly Lonny pulled up his pony,
and rounded the pillars. Spectators
came running, too astounded to add
speech to the commotion The ser
geant at arms Of the house came forth,
frowned. looked ominous and then
grinned. Many Of the legislators
crowded out to observe the tumult.
Lonny's cowpunchers were stricken to
silent horror by his mad deed.
Senator Kinney, happened to be
among the earliest to emerge. Before
he could speak Lonny leaned in his
saddle as Hot Tamales pranced, point
ed his quirt at the senator and said
calmly:
"That was a fine speech you made
today, mister but you might as well
let up on that preparation business. I
amt askin' the state to give me moth

to it, but it wasn't one. You said
heap of things about Grandfather Bris-
coe that makes me kind Of proud I'm
his grandson. Well. the Briscoes amt
takin' presents from the state yet.
Anybody can have the frame that
wants it. Hit her up, boys"
Away scuttled the San Saba delega-
ton out of the hall, down the steps,
along the dusty street.
Halfway to the San Saba country
they camped that night At bedtime
Lonny stole away from the campfire
and sought Hot Tamales, placidly eat
ing grass at the end of his stake rope
Lonny hung upon his neck, and his art
aspirations went forth forever in one
long. regretful sigh. But as he thus
made remuneration his breath formed
word or two.

being eaten.
One large and very we'll patronized
cafe, for instance, offers, each Tues
day and Friday, under the heading o.:
Meat Dishes" the following four
items: "Fricasee of funny with rice,
funny Schitzel with peas, carrots and
fried potatoes, German beefsteak of
funny fish with spinach and fried po-
tatoes, Tunny goulash."
The meat of the funny is coarse and
somewhat strong, or gamy, and too
much Of it pals. But it is neverthe-
less an excellent substitute for meat,
and likewise relief from the finer
fish that grows very tiresome If eaten
week in and week out. The supply OF
tunnys is said to come principally
from the Adriatic.

Farmer Loses Money to Sell
His Seed Cotton These Days

cotton and seed, farmers selling cot
to the seed and their communities lose
from the mixture of seed in the gins,
many of the farmers having to depend
on this seed for planting. The mixture
of varieties and different lengths of
staple results in less valuable crop
of cotton the next season and, if con-
tinued, will bring about progressive
deterioration.
No Seed Cotton Standards.
Seed cotton does not lend itself to
Standardization and, therefore, the
grower selling the product in this
form can not receive the protection of
the cotton grade Standardization work
o. the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
and can not compare his cotton with
the published prices for the various
lint grades quoted in outside markets
as can the seller of ginned cotton.
Even the quotations for cotton seed
are not widely published, so that the
seller of such cotton is, to a large ex-
tent, entirely dependent upon purely
local price quotations.
Extent of Seed Cotton Sales.
The sale of cotton in the seed in
the communities where the practice is
prevalent has usually originated when
the cotton growing industry was new
and gins were not accessible. The
practice has been permitted to con-
tinue in many cases, however, even af-
ter custom gins have been built in
accessible localities, on the theory
largely that the saving in time devot
ed to ginning, ginning costs, ETC., COM
pensated for differences in prices. This
theory the market specialists of the
Department believe, should be disprov-
ed by the results of the recent study.
Missouri, with 80 per cent, leads the
states in the proportion of the local
cotton crop sold in the seed, and
is followed by Virginia, with 60 per
cent, Florida with As per cent, Ten
nessee with 40 per cent, and Oklahoma
with 81 per cent. The greatest number
of bales sold in seed in any one state
In 1915 was in Oklahoma.
