WASTE IN HANDLING COTTON.


 An enormous amount of useless dirt and foreign matter annual is pur- chased and handled with cotton seed, according to investigations conducted by the United States department Of agriculture. This trash wastes trans portation. causes loss by wear on cleaning machinery. and results often in damaged seed and a lower quality of cottonseed products.
 To save these wastes and losses producers, ginners, and oil mills are urged to take the following meas ures. which it is believed will be of mutual advantage and of benefit to the entire country.
 Cotton producers will help by bring ing the unginned cotton az dry ana clean as possible to the gin. The gin rer will aid by so equippina and ad iusting his machinery as to make the seed as clean as possible, and by keeping all foreign matter from get ting into the seed after it has been separated. The oil-mill interests can Encourage producer and ginner to market clean seed of good quality by paying a comparatively better price for good, clean, dry seed than is offered for poor, dirty, or damp l products

(Literary Digest.)

The growing tendency among wom- en to postpone the age of marriage is a bad one, for infant mortality in creases steadily as the mother grows older. The best children are those born of young mothers. This is di- rectly in opposition to the teachings of some feminists, who assert that the best children are those of mature mothers. It is, however, based on evidence, we'll known to eugenists, we are told by the author of an article on "The Young Mother" in the Journal of Heredity Washington, September). Every eugenist knows, he says, of the abundant proof that relatively early marriage is beneficial both to mother and to child. One of these proofs is furnished by studies of infant mor- tality in relation to the age of moth CTS. The latest of these is due to Alexander Graham Bell, who has re- gently completed an investigation of the longevity of members of the Hyde family in the United States. He finds that the death-rate for children of the oldest group of mothers is about 50 per cent greater than that of the children of young mothers, as shown in the following table:

WE MUST LEAD THE FIGHT.

A great opportunity offers for Am erica to add oneGmore to it's essential works of war. It is to introduce real, thorough going cooperation in to the work of the allies. Lack of CO., operation has been one of the curses of the allies throughout the war. When the Viviani-Joffre mission got back to Paris, there Immediately be- gan to be heard certain criticism of the work it had done. This criti- cism had been in being and quietly growing all the time the mission was in America. As soon as it returned to France the expression became open. It was that the French mission had received the enthusiasm, the cheers and the handshaking, but the Briush mission had obtained the money and material.
 The first evidence of this came to Paris while the mission was still in America Immediately after America entered the war the Paris newspapers carried cable dispatches rom Ameri- ca saying that this country intended to lend France at once $1,000, ,000 as an acknowledgment of the Gebt America had owed to France from Revolutionary days. The first talk was of a gift. then f vas to be a loan, but always France was 10 have the first assistance from America.
 After the mission arrived in this country there was great enthusiasm in France over the reception here. But only few days passed when the cables carried the announcement of a S200,000,000 loan 10 England.
 America is now in position to force this essential principle on the allied governments. All of them are coming to Washington and all are coming with requests for assistance in one form or another. It is now generally recognized in al! the war- ring countries that America is the stcrehouse to supply the allies with the means to continue the fight. In this position Of advance the adminis- tration can esta blish bureau of CO., operation at Washington that all the other governments will have to res- pect. For if America is big enough to take on the job, she is now the leader of the enemies of Germany Fred B. Pitney in Leslie's.

kERENSKY IN QUANDARY-
Discipline Requires Severity; Policy
 Kindness Toward kOrnilOff.

Petrograd, Sept. 15.-Russia's politi- cal crisis has been solved after an all-night conference, it was anilounc- cd today by the Russian official news agency. A new cabinet has been form ed and it's composition will be made public tomorrow.
 General Korniloff, leader of the recent rebellion against the provision al government, and General Lokom- sky, the commander of the northern front. who refused to take command of the Russian armies after KOrniloff was deposed, have been arrested.
 The question of the probable fate of General Korniloff is exciting pub lie opinion. Indications are that the government must face serious diffi- culties over the matter.
 A feature of the conflict is the credible absence of bitter feeling and clamor for vengeance. Having re- established capital punishment at the front, however, the government, if 1t spares the rebel commander, must face the reproach that 1t executed common soldiers for less serious of- lenses, and it would be virtually i'm possible to impose the death penaIty in the future. Against this are the facts of General Korniloff's brilliant services, his chivalrous and personal character and the happy c1rcumstan- ces that there has been no blOodshed so far.
 There are indications that the gov ernment is seeking way out. As ar instance. M Kislkin. the new minis ter of the interior, declares that the government has decided not to takt extreme measures against Korniloff as it does not wish to appear revenge

That appreciable drop taken by the mercury, or alcohol, Or whatever they put into the thermometer bulb to indl- cate the temperature, is in keeping with the spirit of the average child of educable age, for the public schools will open tomorrow, and the town boys and girls will have to mill through nine months of rushing to school III the morning, studying, recltlng ana doing the usual stunts that may be necessary to acquire wisdom.
 Practically all of the children have been vaccinated, and those who failed to make their mark in this direction, will be prohibited from enrolling. .
 It has been predicted that there will be about the usual increase in the enrolment, and that it would be greater were it not for the fact that some of the boys will be compelled to work this winter, taking the places of some of the young men who have ente- tered the service of the country.
 There will be few changes in the roster of teachers for both the white and negro schools, but these will not be announced until the city school board meets tomorrow.

Says the writer, commenting on these figunes:
 The mothers under 20 years of age apepar to form an exception. At first sight the higher death rate of their children seems to indicate clearly that too early maternity is disadvantage. Without denying this possibility, there are several considerations which make 1t seem probable that these youngest mothers form an exception more ap- parent than. real to the general biolog- ical rule: the younger the mother the better the child's chance.
