OLD CANAL BOATS GO.

Under a recent edict of the New
York legislature the horse and the
mule as motive power on the Erie
canal will give way to motor-driven
tugs. For 80 years the motive power
has been entirely by mules and
horses. With the country at war and
a desire to move freight rapidly and
relieve the railroads, it was decided
to make the change.

Fifteen on the Fifteenth.

Were I brought to believe that q
birthday celebration is ever an affair
of unmixed loneliness. should perhaps
be brought to say 1t concerning one
for fifteen on the fifteenth. Fourteen
on the fourteenth lacks flavor, is a lit
tie unripe, like fruit imported before
the real season is at hand. Sixteen on
the sixteenth is little oyer-mellow, a
little late; already childhood is gone,
and youth. however lovely 1t may be In
the receiving of homage and favors,
should already have its hands out
stretched rather to bestow them. But
fifteen on the fifteenth There is a
golden mean and time for all things,
as the Scriptures and the fairy tales
tell us. This was the time to dance.
that King Solomon talks about. Like
the ''Tuney Bears" soup In the old
tale, this party TO celebrate fifteen on
the fifteenth seems TO me as nearly
right as things can be conceived In a
world Of chance Ike our own.--Laura

KEEPING SPIRIT OF YOUTH
Upon Its Preservation Depends Large
ly All Achievements Of Man In His
Later Life.

Later life is largely the working
out of the visions and the enthusiasm
which comes to us in youth. For
youth is not only the beginning,
but the perennial spring of all our
faculties.
The real test Of the man is not !:
How much skill has he? But how
much youth abides in his soul?
Whether the long stretches of mid
die life, under the heat of the sun
and the burden of the day, shall be
a monotonous and barren plain, or
blossoms as a garden continually
freshened by crystal waters, depends
upon the depth and volume of the
springs of youth.
There are men of few years but
great age. We have all seen them
these old men of thirty or forty,
who have fingered the fringe of life
with the tips of their idle hands and
imagine they are stated, WORKOUT
men of the world. They have ex-
hausted, as they believe, all of life'a
resources, end for them the years
hold nothing but monotony and
WEAKNESS. Nonentities.-Christian

INDIAN HUNTERS OF WEST
Primitive Red Men Of California Killed
for Food Only and Never sIauah- =.
tered Game for Market.

The bows Of primitive California
indian hunters were made of noun
tain ash, willow and elder, and the
arrows Of carriso reeds which are
found in damp places on the desert,
says the Southern Workman. The
reed to be Strengthened is heated and
run through grooves in a stone. For
hunting small game a pointed piece
of chamise wood, hardened in fire, is
fastened into one end Of the reed
with glue which is drawn from the
pith OF che same wood. This glue is
also used to fasten the feather banks
at the opposite end. Stone arrow
heads were used for big game and in
war. They were roughly shaped out
first, then their points and edges
sharpened by striking them against
a piece of deer horn which was bound
tQ the fingers Of the left hand: To
make five or six arrowheads was a
good days work. .a-s,s.i saaa..
In those days each tribe had its
own game laws and game preserves.
The Indians forbade tresp as. ing i By
the membcrs Of other tribes, and
punished offenders severely whenever
they caught them. They killed for
food, sparing the buck in the breed
ing season and shooting the doe only
in case Of dire necessity. As a con-
sequence game was plentiful and the
white man is blamed for its deple-
ton. The Indian never slaughtered
for the market; the white man did
and exterminated many valuable
species of fauna.

HARDING INDICATES SOUTH CAN'T MAKE

in nftrates, others in carbohydrates and others in proteins. No family can keep itself healthy if it lives entire ly on meat or entirely on potatoes, or entirely on peas, or altogether on eggs and milk. A scientific mixture of these foods is essential for the best results. So likewise with farming No state can prosper if it's farmers devote their energies to the cultivation of single crop, be 1t cotton or be it grain or hay, and to obtain the best results dtversification is necessary.
 The farmers should be impressed with the necessity of rotation of crops In order that their soil may not be impoverished, and if they plant sew eral products they are not affected by the price of any one of them. It is not possible to advise farmer intel ligently as to the amount of cotton he should plant. In some cases five acres to the blow would seem best and there may be other instances where eight O. ten acres to the blow may be planted. But in no case, particularly in times like the present, should the farmer en- trust all of his eggs to one basket and risk his solvency upon a single crop.
 "In my opinion, the greatest
 service that the farmers of the
 south can render their section.
 their country and the world in
 general, is to coax from the soil
 during the year 1917 as great an
 abundance as possible of crops of
 all kinds.
 Please says to the members of the Chamber of Commerce sof Gastonia and to the bankers of your city that I highly appreciate their kind invitation and express to them again my deep regret at being obliged at the last mo- ment to forego the pleasure of meet ing them"

Double Funeral Held

Dothan, February 8.-(Special )-Funeral services for Ira J. Mansill and his 15- day -old son, Ira J. Mansill, Jr., were held from the residence of his brother, G. B. Mansill in this city this morning. Ira J. Mansill was shot and killed on street car in Mobile Saturday afternoon by Henry D. Green, Green claiming that Mansill had killed his brother at Sour Lake, Tex, last year. His body was sent to Dothan for burial. Before time for the funeral services his 15-day-old son died in Mobile, and message sent requesting that the fathers funeral be postponed until the remains of the son reached Dothan. This was done, and a large crowd of friends of the family att tended the double funeral here today
 Mansilrs family here know of no cause for Greens rash act, and think it a case of mistaken identity, as Ira J. Mansill is not known by them to have ever been in Sour Lake, Tex. Green. it is re- ported. has acknowledged the killing and expresses his readiness to accept the penalty of the law.

MARKET FOR COTTON FUTURES IS NARROW
Nervousness Over Interna- tional Affairs Reflected
 in Yesterdays Trading

New York, February S-Nervousness over intepnational affairs and the subma- rine campaign has been reflected in the continued irregularity of a comparatively narrow market for cotton futures here today. After selling at 15.7Oc on the call, May contracts broke to 1542c, but rallied. closing at 15.5Sc, with the gen eral list closing steady, net points lower to 9 points higher.
 Cables were better than due, but the fact was attributed to covering hedges against cotton lost at sea, and the strength abroad consequently failed to in spire much fresh buying. March opened at an advance of IS points, but other months were l point lower to points higher, and prices eased off after the call. Uneasiness with reference to the detention of Ambassador Gerard in Ger many was relieved to some extent by re- ports that it resulted from a misunder- standing of the American attitude to- ward German ships in the ports of this country. Washington adyices suggested that so far as yet learned the sinking of the California was not regarded an overt act tended in the same direction But buying was limited and offerings in- creased later following bearish Washing ton rumors. There was some Wall street selling as well as local liquidation on the decline, which carried active old crop position about IA to 20 points net lower, with March selling at 15.3oc and July at 15.51c. New crop months were relatively steady selling only to points net lower, and when the Washington rumors were denied the general list turned firmer on covering Closing prices showed rallies of 15 or 16 points from the lowest Com paratively little news seemed to be reach ing here from the south, with nothing to indicate any change in the spot situa- tion and the small volume of business suggested a more or less general tendency to wait for political or shipping develop ments. The census bureau reported that consumption of cotton fibre in the manu- facture of absorbents or medicated cot ton amounted to 3S,251 bales of 300 pounds for

ROBBERS GET AWAY
 WITH MUCH LIQUOR

Burglars who broke into the depot of the Southern railway at Woodlawn early yesterday morning escaped with over 55 packages of whisky, according to an an- nouncement made yesterday following an inventory by express company officials. The robbery was partly frustrated by policemen who recovered approximately 75 quarts of whisky.
 Bloodhounds were taken to the scene immediately following the robbery but the heavy rain which fell shorty after the robbers had fled handicapped the work of the dogs. The case was referred to the detective department.
 The 55 packages of whisky constitutes over 100 quarts. The same express office was broken open about two weeks ago, 54 quarts of whisky being stolen. The office is located at F'ifty-fourth street and Grant avenue.

New Orleans Cnttnn

New Orleans, February S.-In the early trading today cotton on this market bulged moderately on reports that con- siderable quantities of the staple had been lost on vessels sunk since the first of the month, but later there was a fall- ing off in values on the unfounded rumor that President Wilson would address Congress this afternoon.
 The trade jumped at the conclusion that important developments of an unfavor- able nature would follow the address, and selling ensued. Price changes were not wide at any time and the close was at a net rise of to IA points.
 Around the opening the market was s to IA points up. From this level the trading months fell 13 to + points under yesterdays close on the old crops and a point under on October. In the after noon the market was quiet and steady and prices did not get very far from the level of yesterdays close
 Cables were better than due, which helped prices for while around the first call, but the trade was not disposed to pay much attention to anything but re- ports bearing on the foreign relations of this country.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago. February s.-Increased appre- hension as to a stoppage of exports led to fresh declines today in the value of wheat. The market closed heavy at the same as yesterdays finish to 1Ac lower, with May at $6ss4Q1es and July $14e@ l46B. Corn wound up a shade to lac higher oats unchanged to Ac down, and provisions with gains of 21A94Oc
 Anxiety regarding export prospects for wheat was greatly sharpened by the sinking of the British passenger liner California. Aside from emphasizing the chances of a wider breach between Ger many and the United States, the loss of the vessel seemed to be taken by ma jority of traders as indicating that hopes of successful running of the submarine blockade had perhaps been over-esti- mated. Notice that all Dutch ports had been closed by orders of the Dutch min istry of marine gave reason for addi- tional uncertainty, and this was intensi- fled temporarily by false rumors that President Wilson had arranged again to address Congress. Railway difficulties both in regard to overtaxed facilities and concerning strike prospects were further handicaps for the bulls.
 Transient rallies which took place in the wheat market during the last half of the session were ascribed largely to the fact that representative of the British government were here today conferring with railroad officials in an effort to get grain and provisions forwarded more promptly to the seaboard. There were also advices that exporters were inquir- ing for wheat at St. Louis. No sales, though, of wheat to go to Europe were confirmed.
 Corn at times sagged with wheat, but only to limited extent Scarcity of rural offerings acted as offset and so, too, did the lightness of receipts. Oats had no independence. Trade was in the main of local character.
 Speculative buying strengthened pro- visions after an early downturn. The in- itial weakness was due to declines in the value of hogs and grain and to the promising outlook for business with Eu- rope.
