CALLED THEM INDIANS.

How the Red Men Of THE Country
Came to Get That Name.
But" said the little siri who has
now reached the dignity Of owning 4
geography, why did they call the pso-
pie they found In this country Tndi-
alsY The people whs live In India
ought to he called By that NAME"
Now, that was very appropriate
question for the little girl to ask. And
the answer to the little girl and to any
other little girls and boys who may be
pussled BY the same thing Il that Co
lumbus and his men didn't start out to
discover America. They didn't, Of
course, know there was any America
here. What they did believe was that
tho world was round and that by sail
ing far enough they would come up on
ths other side. You all know now that
what they believed is true, but in those
days most people believed that the
world was fat and that If ship sailed
far enough out into the ocean it would
fall OF the edge.
Columbus said that If he took q ship
and sailed and sailed he would at last
come to India. Now, India was q very
rich country, and for hundreds Of years
Europe had been trying to find an
easier way to get there. so what Co
lumbus said appealed to a good many
merchants and traders, and Spain final
ly fitted out some ships for Columbus.
Won oil kpou that Columbus finally
did reach America, but he believed he
had sailed clear around the world and
had come to India from the other side,
so he named the people he found on the
shore Indians" And after 1t was
found that this was not India, but a
new world, people went on calling the
people Indians because that was as
good name as any for them. they
thought.-Kansas City Star.

ENGLISH Is Bad ENOUGH.

"Why talk Of the difficulty of pro-
nouncing Polish, Austrian, Russian or
Roumanian Names" says writer In
the San Francisco Chronicle, when
ninety out of every hundred can
not pronounce scores and scores OF
English names? Just think of Berthe
pronounced as Barty, Dilwyn as Dillon,
Belvoir as Beever. Featherstonhaugh
as Festunhaw, Dakell as Dee-el, Ruth
ven as Rivven. And these are by no
means the worst cases "

these days, and so many people
know this that it may not be
long before this price will be
seen. The stuff's got sure enough
value.
There is no use of worrying
over the irregularities of the fu.
lure markets. Manipulation can
not be prevented. 1t could be
helped maybe, if there was a
State Commission to look into
and correct irregularities, and
especially to not allow futures to
lead the spot market, not aay
more than 5 or 10 points, and
suspicious spot sales should be
looked into. Combinations or
pools should not be allowed.
The "insiders' should not be al.
lowed to play against the ''out.
siders." The market should have
a free course.' Hence every
State that has Future Exchange
should provide regulation in the
interest Of fair dealing.
AS to the present situation: 1t
has not changed from that of last
fall. No one fairly we'll informed
then looked for much less than
twelve and a half million bales
for the 1916 crop, and 100000
were needed to keep matters
even about normal.
AS to Mr.. Price: He should
never be taken seriously, for he
mas often been wrong as to the
size Of the crop and as to the
price, Then, too he may be
creator of sentiment for one of
the big manipulation combines or
q sort of press agent for them.
We can not have the big future
advance unless there are plenty
sellers. Do not always worry
about Mr.. Price, for he may be
'nly looking after his own busi-
less affairs in splendid manner.
Very respectfully.

sibly the prime cause for cotto

the large cotton merchant an
certain spinners who were shor
of cotton lent their support to. tn
decline. But the situation as
whole favored great opportun,
ty to the bears, to-wit: The pric
of 21c for futures, a large an(
scattered long interest in the fu
ture market without organization
no combined understanding as tt
each others financial strength OF
weakness and with a few unfavor
able war incidents coming along
atopportune times make it easier
to upset and unnerve the would
be friends to the market. Then
too, 2lc coming so sudden, look
ed high especially for the early
spring months and was calculated
to mislead those who were follow
ers, but knew very little of cot
tons true statistical situation.
Cotton is certainly not high at
zoe, when compared to the prices
OF all other staple commodities,
which show 200 to 800 per cent
over normal prices in recent
years, to wit: Flour $11 per bar
rel; bacon, 22c pound; lard
18to 2Oc per pound; corn, $1.4O
per bushel. Then, too, look at
cotton piece goods, are on a basis
of zoe to 3Oc per pound for mid
ding short cotton, depending on
the class of goods the cotton is
made into. And prices could go
much higher and the consumer
would have no right to complain
any more so than against prices
OF many other items.
The actual facts with other
surrounding conditions and pos.
slbilities concerning cotton plain
ly indicate to the rational mind |
that 25c and even 30c a pound
IS not too high for cotton. At
least they should not be consid-
cred abnormal for the times and
zoe to Zoe cotton should not have
been considered too high, event
though the 1916 crop had been |
100000 bales. And when one
considers we'll the many sides
that cotton has to contend with,
such as boil weevil, high cost of !
labor, all food stuff, fertilizers
and the farmers energies already II
5urned to stockraising, grain and
forage crops, fruits and truck,
labor going to other sections for
better wages and better living .
conditions, etc.
There has been a sort of invisi.
Die demand that has gradually
increased until it would possibly
surprise even the better-informed
n case all the facts were told:
7or instance, auto tires and the
eholstering Of autos and airships,
aore shlps being built, rigging
nd rope of cotton has to be used,
rmy tents, more clothing for the
lany soldiers in aotive service.
Ill these facts would force us to
onclude that the demands for .
otton will not be lessened even
lougk the :'big fight" continues,
nd the demand will be increased
lould the fight stop. In either
'ent 100000 bales for 1917 n
ould only put cotton matters
'out normal, and on account of
st of production, and in keep. u
g with high prices for all other
ms, we can look with assurance 4
