Repudiating Debts

The Cynic had been telling us in- dignantly the other day about some little southern republic which had re- pudiated it's debts. ,.@ '-@
 The Authorman sat looking into the fire, blowing beautiful smoke rings and smiling to himself.
 Well what's the matter with you?' said the Cynic, catching sight of the smile You don't mean to tell me you think tn hey're justified"
 Don't mean to tell you anything, you old hothead," said the Author man. Cant man smile when his pipe is drawing we'll and he's sitting comfortably in front of the fire after a hard days work?"
 He Thinks the Authorman Has a Snap
 Hard days work!' scoffed the Cynic. Sitting down and Adding with a paper and pen for few hours!"
 'I trust you never have a harder one, my son. said the Authorman. T hate this idea that a writer's life is a snap because he makes his own hours and some of his days are short. Being your own master has it's advan- taSeS, put IL HleahS tlldI you nave u be both slave and slave driver. Be- sides you aren't your own master, you're working for a fckle, hydra headed employer the public. And then there's the heart-breaking dis couragement when you can't get the thing right. Ever read what Steven son says?" The Auth orman sprang to the bookcase and read to us:
 "'The practice of letters is miscr-. ably harrassing to the mind; after an hour or twos work all the more human portion of the author is eX- tinct; he will bully, backbite and speak daggers. Painting on the con- trary, is often highly sedative, be- cause so much of the labor after your picture is once begun is entirely nothing of this sort. You may write

ANOTHER FULLER
 FILM FOR KEENEYS

Mary Fuller in "Thrown to the Lions," a big Red Feather feature, will be prominent among the photo plays at Keeney's tonight and tomor- row This big film will mark the first New. Britain appearance of Miss Fuller in many months and it will no doubt serve to attract the large num- Der of admirers which the dainty little screen actress has in this city. The popular star always drew large crowds when screen attra ctionst in which she figured were on the pro- grams of local playhouses. This week is not expected to prove an exception to the rule. The company for which she is now playing provided here with splendid dramatic vehicle in '"Thrown to the Lions" and she has vast opportunities to- display her pe- culiar talents as an exponent of the silent drama.
 The Keeney management has se cured some other good film features for these two days. Both the Vita graph and Biograph companies con- tribute to the program which is probably one of the best from all an- gles that the theater has offered dur ing the week.
 Besides the screen attractions there are three vaudeville numbers of ex- ceptional merit The Lorenz trio does a number of clever acrobatic stunts in their sketch, Fun In a Restaurant" the Doria troupe pleases with a. novel rendition of the songs of all nations and Mccarthy and Stirk get a big hand every day for their fascinating song and conversation speciality.

One of the most widely read novels in a generation in America ITO Have and to Hold," by Mary Johnston, is related in photoplay form bv the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Co.,, with Mae Murray, the famous stage beauty and star, in the leading role. This pro- duction marks Miss Murray's debut under the Paramount banner. Wal lace Reid, favorite of the screen appears opposite Miss Murray.
 The other multiple reel attra ction is Hello Hinges," in which William S. Hart is featured. The story of this masterful production, and one that will be voted as one of the greatest features ever seen in this city deals With how strong man wreaked vengeance on a lawless community, restoring peace and order by his own methods.
 There are some great moments packed With action and suspense in this feature. Among other scenes, two stand out particularly. One is the fight between the tough and good element of the town, which results in the temporary victory of the evil forces. They signalize their triumph by burning down the church. But the evil doers had not reckoned on Blaze Tracy Civilian $. Hart.) When he comes riding in and finds that the church has been destroyed, the mis- guided minister killed and the woman he loves in danger of insult his wrath exceeds bounds. He kills Silk Miller. the crafty and treacherous saloon and gambling house keeper and stands off a whole room full of desperate men while he shoots the wires in two by which the lamps are suspended.

 "Oh yes," said the Authorman; but what was I smiling at? That's all you care about. Well, I was think ing how many people there are like that republic that repudiate their debts when they get a chance"
 He checked an interruption with a wave of his pipe. "No, I don't mean money. I mean debts of gratitude. Someone does a lot of kind things for you-money things or other kinds. You know you owe him debt of gratitude. It irks you. So you dig up some pretence and repudiate that debt. Maybe you say, oh, we'll, he's got plenty of money. It didn't cost him any self-sacrifice.' Or perhaps he does some little unzind act, and you seize the opportunity to say, Well, after all, he's mean and snobbish. won't have anything to do with him. Where Authors Find Their Material

GOVERNMENTS FIRST REPORT
On 1910 Cotton CrOI--Avcragc Con-
ditiOn Is T7.5.

Washington, June 1.-THE cotton
crop OF the United States showed a
condition OF 77.5 per cent OF il nor
NAL on May 25, the Department of
Agriculture announced to-day in its
first condition report OF the season,
awaited with interest by cotton, tex
tile and other interests. That condi-
ton compares with 500 on May %
last year, TAB in l914, 79.l in 1913
and 1913, the average OF the last ten
years on May %.
Until the governments rcport es-
timating the area planted to cotton
this year is issued on July | no cal
culation will be made by the dcpart-
mentS experts as to the probable
size Of the crop. Unofficial estimates
place the area planted at from 6 to
10 per cent more than last year.
when the preliminary estimate made
by the department in July was 3l,-
$4,000 acres. An increase Of from
& to 10 per cent in the area this year
would place the acreage at from 3d.
$4,000 to 34,6SS, 500 acres.
Cotton planting was begun in the
central and southern portions OF the
belt late in March and early in April,
but some planted failed to germinate
in Texas because OF dry weather.
Planting In tb' "a ,o.no southern por-
tons was com. leied early in April,
and was progres sing satisfactorily in
central uistricts. Heavy frost in
Texas on April 9th killed considerable
cotton. In the low bottoms of Missis-
sipDi the ground was too wet for
planting early in April.
Planting begun in the most north
crn portions Of the belt toward the
middle Of April and was growing fav-
orably in the central districts, while
in the southern parts it was reported
to be coming to a good stand. Some
rcplanting was necessary on account
Of frost damage through nearly all
the central part Of the belt. In Texas
replanting was delayed by dry wea-
ther, and there was a lack Of rainfall
in the eastern parts Of the belt.
Weather was generally favorable
for cotton work in the Southeastern
states late in April. but it was mn ch
too cool for proper termination and
plant growth, and in some sections it
was also too dry. Cutworms were
doing some damage in the lower Mis-
sissippi Valley.
Early in May it was found that
much cotton seed had failed to ger
inmate we'll. and a generally poor
stand was reported, because of cold
and dry weather. Conditions we're
somewhat improved during the first
week in May, but replanting was de-
layed in the southeast because Of lack
OF rainfall. Chopping was going on
in most Of the southern sections. Cut
worm damage continued in parts Of
the lower Mississippi Valley.
Toward he middle Of May warmer
weather pre- ,iled in most OF the cot
ton States, a.'i there was decided
improvement except where dry wea-
ther continued. Planting in the
northern parts OF the belt was finish
cd toward the end OF the month, but
much rcplanting was necessary. Cul-
tivation OF the crop was going on Wig
0rOuSly in most sections.
