New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, May 3.-Wide declines were forced in the cotton market here today by selling wave which started on prospects of better weather conditions over Texas and was swelled by offerings for both accounts, stimulated by the gloomy utterances overnight concerning the submarine situation. Additional sell ing orders came in from traders who were sympathetically affected by the hos tility shown in some quarters to the grain markets, At the lowest levels prices showed a decline of 42 to 4S points
 The opening was at higher levels, prices gaining to P points on buying encour- aged better cables than due. Imme- diately after the opening call there was flood of offerings and pressure steadily increased until about the middle of the morning when early short sellers started to take profits. Much long cotton was thrown overheard on the decline which carried July down s points from the high level scored around the opening
 The steadiness of the spot market and its refusal to follow the decline in con- tracts. and reports that some statements concerning the work of German subma- rines were not we'll considered, gave the market a somewhat better tone in the afternoon but it did not show any great recuperative powers. Closing prices were at a net loss of 24 to 5 points.

their business OF laying eggs, and were

AS q matter of self defense, the
American people must make it not only
socially but in all respects of grea ter

to live in the country than ever before
We have passed the time of the shoddy
school house, the scnoolhouse of one
room, half of whose windows are out
the school that has no shaded play
ground, no deep sunk we'll that is pre-
sided over by the second or third rate
school teacher, The time is past when
this is good enough for the country
side. The time is past, too when our
country churches are to be operated
under the old time organization. One
of the most pathetic things, that strikes
one as he travels to and fro in the
older states of the east and middle
west, is the large number of country
churches with roofs broken, and
steeples off. They did a good service
in their day and generation, but not
nearly the service that is required in
this day. Just as surely as the old
type of machinery on the farm has
passed out of existence forever, so have
the institutions of the olden days
passed out to make way for those of
the higher and the broader life, which
have come into the countryside; and
the country today demands, just as
fine, just as thorough and just as en-
joyable Institutions as are to be found
in the city,
Some of the best social work that is
being done in this day is being done in
the country with the encouragement

an institution as this, organized in ey-

sional training of the farmer, is an in

TALK To FARMERS

of considerable interest to the farm
ers Of Salt River valley is the address
Of President X. 3. Won Kle.nSmid of the
University of Arizona, which was de
livered before an assemblage of farm
ers attending the short course DIT.
Won KleinSmid's address is as follows:
Some time ago the Independent Ma
gazine reminded us of a saying which,
in my early bOyhOOd days, was rather
common among the farmers of the
community in which | lived. In order
to ward off an expression of apprecia =
ton or thanks, it was very common to
hear "a farmer say, oh that's all right,
my time isn't worth any more than a
setting hens" This remark became
a suggestion to a keen minded farmer
who set to work to find out just how
much his friends time was worth. In
ether words. he set himself to discover
how much the time of a setting hen is
worth in dollars and cents.
First, the setting hen devotes a week
or two to cluCking in order that the
short sighted farmer might understand
that she wants to set. Then she de-
votes three weeks to setting and bring
ing forth a brood devotes six weeks
TO teaching the chickens the manners
and morals of feathered tribes. So thai
she probably is on the job about nine
ten or eleven weeks. SO the farmer
tried to overcome the setting propen-
stiles of some of his hens, and shu
them away from the rest, with not ever
door knob TO encourage setting
Within a week or ten days the her
went back to laying. Now it was dis
! covered that in the time saved from
setting and raising a brood the hei
| actually laid about four and one-hal
| dozen eggs.
More recently sOmeone-probably no
a farmer-discovered that electrict
would mediate 5000 eggs at once, an,
I that d great many hens could go GU
! of the setting business. Six thousan
eggs Matched by an incubator woul
mean that a very large number of hen
would. with that week or ten days o
Interruption. go back to laying egg:
In the time in which they would be lay
ing eggs, with the incubator takin
| care of them, they would be furnishin
200 eggs. and the farmer would b
about $1,000 in his pocket
Curious in the whole matter is tn
fact that when the hens were put ou
of the laying business they did not i'm
mediately go gadding about trying I
lake the place of ROSTERS, but the
found out that although their layin
business had been taken away fror
them, they We're still valuable to tn
farmer, and the farmer immediatel
multiplied his number of hens.

ARIZONA EASTERN
AND ESPEE SEEK
To GAIN DIVORCE

H. c. Hallmark, assistant general
freight agent of the Southern Pacific,
and general freight agent of the Ari-
IONA Eastern, and j. c. Forest, attorney
for the Arizona Eastern, appeared be-
fore the corporation commission yes
terday in an attempt to prove to that
bOdy's satisfaction that the Arizona
Eastern and Southern Pacific are two
separate roads and that they are in no
way connected.
The Arizona Eastern is claiming that
it should be allowed to charge an arbi-
trary rate from Maricopa to Phoenix
that it is a two line haul, and a two
line rate should be charged. The com
mission has held all along that the lines
are one and the same.
Mr.. Hallmark testified for the Ar-
IONA Eastern, and r. ID. Cassel, rate
expert for the commission, testified
for that body Mr. Hallmark explained
that the two roads, insofar as he knew
were entirely separate, and operated
under different heads. Mr.. Cassel was
of the opinion that the Southern Pa
cific and the Arizona Eastern were in
much the same position, as a number
Of Texas roads operated under distinct
names but owned by the same people,
and considered by rate authorities as
one and the same line.
At the conclusion of the hearing, the
commission gave Mr.. Forest 80 days in
which to file brief Tor the Arizona
Eastern. r. William Kramer assist
ant attorney general, represented the
commission at the hearing Mr.. kra-
mer, who has been Attorney General
Jones assistant for but a comparatively
short time, is handling practically all
of the complicated rate cases for the
commission, and is fast developing into
one of the>few authorities on the sub
ject in the state.
