Part Played by Speculation.

Although the final government report in
Dictated lie, 900 bales of cotton less than
the report issued in October, the price
sharply slumped, and this because the fig
ures were larger than the average guess
of 125 brokers. 1t was speculation pure
and simple that carried the price to II
cents. An unusual scarcity of the staple
would be necessary to hold the price at
hat figure. The producer of the staple
profited by the advance in price, and a
new price level has been set, and by price
level is meant midway between the old price
and the high price that recently obtained.
The new price level is likely to remain I'M
til lowered by IN enormous crop. The
of the cotton will do himself in
finite harm If he puts all of his eggs in
one basket.-Waco Times-Herald.

During all the years of the salmon in
dustry there have been millions of tons of
salmon roe thrown away. American pack
ers could find no use for the roe and like
other waste product it was dumped in
to the rivers to be carried out to sea. Now
a newly arrived Russian immigrant who
was familiar with the processing of stur-
geon roe in his own land has proved that
the salmon roe may be made most delicious.
According to the e~picures who have tried
the new product it far surpasses Russian
caviar, and next year it j. expected the
waste product will become one OF
the most important packs at the salmon
fisheries. There are few things under the
sun hat the BRAN and the band OF man
can not put to some valuable use. In Tex
as today numbers Of opportunities lie idle
that should be turned to the benefit of the
state and Of the people.-Houston Post.

BON VOYAGE. VIRGINIANS

IL was during a shower of rain, July
last year, that the First Virginia national
guard infantry, arrived at Brownsville.
The word shower is used as a ~euphonism
The sky of the Southernmost point of the
United States was pouring forth rain in
d~eluglng quantity. Amid all this down
pouring of water these volunteer soldiers
fror. the Old Dominion state tumbled out
of their befths in the Pullman coaches in
which they were moved TO the border and
began to pitch their tents.
The people of Brownsville remember the
occasion ~ wildly, perhaps, as the Vir-
sinla boys must. 1t was an impressive oc-
casion and the most impressive circum-
>tance connected with it was the fact that
the men seemed to relish their adventure.
1t was a reyelation-men willingly and en-
Enthusiastically giving up their comfortable
Pullman berihs to launch forth into a YER
liable sea.
These men are going back, today, 10 their
homes. During the six months in which
they have been on the border not one cir
crmstance has occurred and not one word,
ENi~Aff mas btth WttitN 1idl NOild ltti
10 the conclusion that the spirit evinced
on the first day of the arrival of these men
was not sincere.
They are good, stalwart boys. There j.
much in them to admire. They nave be-
havcd themselves well here. The name of
their home state has been honored by them.
The people of Brownsville regret to see
them 90 away and at the same time are
glad that these trIly splendid guardsmen
arc TO experience happiness by returning to
their homes after an experience that was
IN some senses ID most of them an ordeal.
Would that these visitors might take
home with them as pleasing and as mem
orable impression. in that respect, of
Brownsville az the people of Brownsville
will always retain of them.
May their experience on the border be of
lasting good to them and To the country.
May the ozone of the Texas prairie and
the outdoor exercises that rave touehened
their muscles and bronzed their skins he Il
lasting tonic 10 their physical constitu-
tons.
Brownsville wishes them bon voyage.
