also were disclosed by the survey. Thus middling cotton of l 1-16-inch staple in certain market brought 13 cents pound, while middling of l 1s- inch staple at the same place and on the same day brought only 1905 cents. The latter cotton should have brought one-half cent more than that of the shorter staple bale. Therefore, if the l 1-16-inch bale brought it's true value, the other bale sold for at least $17.50 below it's real value. While all variations observed were not as great as this, wide differences were found in numerous instances in every state where investigations were con ducted.
 Geographical Price Variations
 Inconsistencies in the valuation of tinged and stained cotton also were observed, the differences made in some cases between two bales of cot ton of the same grade on the same market being greater than the amount paid for the cheaper bale.
 The survey showed that for the same grades the prices paid were on the whole considerably greater in the eastern cotton states than in those west of the Mississippi. These diff ferences, according to the specialists, were much greater than differences in freight rates to mills alone would ac- count for. The other factors in favor of the East are believed to have been the direct purchasen by mill buyers, the existence of good storage facili- ties, the availability of relatively cheap money, and the more general knowledge of grading among farmers due to longer establishment of cotton growing in the section.
 The investigators found that the producer received an appreciable ad- vantage in prices when he was able to make round lot' sales of ten or more bales of cotton at time. It is sug- gested that still greater advantages can be secured by selling where pos sible in lots of bales of the same grade.

Great Variations Found.

The surveys conducted by the spe- ciaIists showed great and inconsistent variations in prices paid for cotton of different grades. The average of prices on observed transactions in Alabama for one month for example, was 13 51 cents for strict good ordinary and 13.47 cents for strict good middling. the lat ter being six grades better than the former. The higher grade of cotton thus sold for 20 cents less per bale than that of the lower grade, when on the basis of New Orleans differences, it was actually worth $7.50 per bale more. The inconsistencies and differ ences were especially apparent among the higher grades above middling. This, the specialists feel, is most un- fortunate since it shows failure to recognize the value of improvement of cotton varieties by growers and in eff feet puts premium on careless and indifferent farming.

CALAMITY"
By HENRY HANSON.

She was tiny, bedraggled bundle of fur when Joe brought her to the linen room where Elizabeth Matteson was folding linen. She was the head nurse and Joe was the elevator boy. lie showed her the kittens injured paw and she stroked the moving object pityingly. Her brown eyes were very soft.
 What can we do with her, Joe? I'm sure the superintendent wouldn't allow a kitten in the ward"
 But. nurse the men would hide 1t when the superintendent comes. See, the poor little creature is trying to play"
 So it was that Miss Matteson's scruples were overcome. The broken paw was bandaged and Jim, the man in the diet kitchen, made the kitten a bed behind the range. Jim named her Calamity" and she grew and thrived- becoming much too lively, in fact, for it was necessary to keep her out of view when the superintendent or her assistant appeared in the corridor.
 
 Calamity at once entered upon a se- ries of disasters that proved her worthy of her name. The first was her fall into the soup can. Fortunately it was not scalding hot. The ward had been served, but the men in the diet kitchen had no soup that day.
 Calamity presented such fiattened- out appearance another time after patient accidentally lay on her that Pat, the garbage man, said on viewing her: 'Begorry it's bicycle pOomp she do be nadin' to fill her out agin." The bathroom man failed to see her the day she took a nap in pile of soiled linen and she went down the clothes chute. The laundryman, however re stored her to her anxious owners. Not long afterward she fell into the bath tub, which was half full of water. Arti- ficiat respiration was resorted to be- | fore she was finally resuscitated. i Some of the windows in the ward were not provided with screens and during a very warm spell they were opened, The flies became troublesome and when Miss Matteson applied for fly paper she received instead a scathing reprimand from the superintendent for allowing the patients 10 open those windows. Then the youngest interne suggested experimenting with rosin and castor oil. They finally produced a sticky fly-paper that answered every purpose. At any rate it took two days to remove all traces of it from Calam- ity after she rolled up in sheet of it. The man in the drugroom grumbled over the amount of alcohol required by the ward at that time. Whether it was while they were experimenting with the mucilaginous decoction or while Calamity was being treated to alcohol rubs" that Cupid took hand. It is certain that a love affair had it's be ginning about that time. Miss Matte sons brown eyes took on a dreamy ex- precision and the youngest interne found 1t necessary to visit his typhoid cases many times a day.
The Green Forest tribune., 1917-01-19

A patient was admitted one day whose case puzzled all the physicians He lay in a stupor with a perfectly normal temperature, but rapid pulse At times he could be aroused to an swer questions, but oftener he remain ed silent with closed eyes. There was no trace of any drug about him. He was alone in private room.
 Going in the morning of the third day to take nouriShment to him Miss Matteson discovered him with wide open eyes and as she approached the bed he called out Good morning, nurse." Then, noticing Calamity, who was following her, he asked: "Is that your kitten? Will you put her here beside me?''
 As the nurse turned to pick up Ca lamfty the man dealt her a blow that felIed her to the floor. Then springing from his bed he snatched up a wooden tray and raised 1t over her head
 At that moment Pats Irish terrier who followed him about the hospital appeared in the corridor and at sight of her enemy Calamity ran clawing and splitting straight up the madman's back. He was clad in q single thin garment and her claws brought the blood wherever they touched him. He was so startled that he dropped the tray.
 Just then the youngest interne ap- peared on one of his numerous visits to the ward. He oyerpowered the crazy patient and, calling for help, soon had him firmly tied.
 Miss Matteson lay like one dead up on the floor. When the other nurses arrived the youngest interne was try ing to revive her. For week her life was in danger.
 It was day of rejoicing in the ward when she was able to resume her duties. The superintendent's heart had melted sufficiently to allow the presence of Calamity in the ward and the latter greeted Miss Matteson with a huge red satin saSh which gave her the appearance of an animated piece of millinery, this decoration of hers having been supplied by Jim and Joe
 
 The home of a rising young physi- clan in Chicago is presided over by a sweet-faced young matron with brown eyes. And in the doctors reception room, on red cushion, reposes a large black and white cat. It is Calamity.

ARMY TO KEEP DIVISIONS
INTACT, PRESENT PLAN
Change in Size Of Large Units Not
Yet Contemplated in Tactical
Reorganization. !

Plans for tactical reorganization OF
the army are not advanced to the point
where any immediate change in the
size or formation of divisions now in
this country is contemplated II is
stated officially that the divisions OF
the regulars, National Guard and ma
tiona1 army would move to their camps
in the formation of the present "typi-
cal' infantry division prescribed by
law. but which the President is author
lied to vary as he sees fit.
Presumably reorganization of Gen.
Pershing's forces in harmony with the
smaller division plan now in vogue in
European armies has already been eff.
fected The exact nature of the change
has not been disclosed.
A typical infantry division of tho
American army makes a total force of
about $4,000 men. The French use
about $4,000 men to a division and the
Germans about the same, and in trench
fighting the unit of organization APP
pears to be the corps. rather than the
division. The typical division as 1t
exists can be shaped easily to meet any
emergency. however, and that is what
will be done on the basis Of actual ex-
perience in France.
