FOOTBALL COVER
 IS NOT OF PIGSKIN

Even the football writers are at sea CT we should not have the perennial misnomer ''pigskin." The leather covers of the cheaper footballs are of sheepsllin, while for the higher priced sphefoids cowskin is imported from England, where it is specially tanned for this purpose. The bladders are made of the. best Para rubber. When the game was in its infancy in Eng land. the bladder of a pig was blown up and used as a football, and this is probably how the term originated but pigsllin is entirely unsuited for making the modern football
 Philadelphia is the great center for the manufacture of footballs in the United States. At one establishment 42,000 oval footballs are made in q single season, from June to November About $500 round Association or Soccer" footballs are turned out, aid five thousand basket balls.
 The regulation football weighs from thirteen and quarter to fifteen | ounces Its life depends upon the kind Of ground on which it is used. The practice among some youths of kick ing the football around asphalt paved courts is not calculated to save money i for the athletic committee of that par | ticular institution of learning and Asport.

Cation 30 Per Cent Picked

The bulk of the cotton crop is in. Ranchers and buyers estimate that a scarce 20 per cent remains yet to be picked. Fortunately for those farming in the Mesa district, the disastrous ire that destroyed the Mesa gin, came late in the season, as those who have been compelled to haul to Tempe or Chand- Ter have found it exceedingly incon- venient Apart from the loss of time required in the hauling, the crowded condition of the gins at both places rendered it uncertain as to when a farmer could get his cotton. Rumor has it however. that Mesa will be plentifuSy supplied with gins next year. During the past season the Mesa plant ran straight through the A hours of each day, and with the every prob able increase in acreage during the coming season, there will be plenty of work for two gins.

Butler and n. D. Cortright, the lessees
Of the Switchback Railroad, have or
ganized the Mount Pisgah Coal Com
pany. The mine is on the top Of Mount
Pisgah along the Switchback Railroad,
only short distance from the place
where the first anthracite coal mine in
the world was opened shortly after the
discovery Of anthracite coal at Summit
Hill in 1894 by Philip Ginder, the
hunter, The coal from this mine was
then brought to Mauch Chunk over the
Switchback Railroad and run down to
the river by means of chutes and loaded
into boats until after the Panther Creek
Valley Railroad was built The mine
was then abandoned because of the
proximity to the latter railroad of al
most ineXhaustble beds of anthracite IN
the Panther Creek Valley. The coal
mined on Mount Pisgah is of the very
best quality. and the new firm is making
arrangements to carry on mining an
thracite on an extensive scale.
The Switchback Railroad, which for
many years has ceased to he a coal
carrying road and has become a pleas
ure road exclusively, will again be used
in transporting coal from the mine at
Mount Pigsah to Mauch Chunk. Because
1t will be a pleasure and coal-carrying
road combined when opened it will be
