NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

NEW ORLEANS, June 19.-Expec-
tations of weekly crop accounts from
the government caused moderately
heavy selling of cotton around the
opening today and the market develop
ed at easy tone. At the end of the
first half hour of business, prices were
off 26 to As points.
At the lowest of the morning, prices
were 26 to SO points down. While the
weekly reports were about as favora-
BILE as expected, they were offset by
complaints of heat and drouth in Tex
as, on which prices bulged strongly,
standing at noon % to 81 points over
yesterdays close.

CONVERSATION AND THEN WHAT
(From the Fl Paso Herald. }

If the workers were to take posses sion of the industries-let us say of the mines of the southwest-and ex- ploit them for the common benefit of all, who would replace these mines when they are exhausted? Who would find prospects and develop these prospects into paying prospects?
 The, thought comes up in connection with the reports that the numerous agents of the Industrial Workers of the World are again carrying on a re- cruiting campaign in the mining camp, signing up miners into member ship through use of the persuasive ar gument of short hours, inordinately high wages and eventual confiscation of the mines.
 The enrolling agents of the I. W. w. make their argument more convincing by drawing comparison between the wages the miners receive and the pro- fits accruing to the operating compan- ies. For purposes of discussion they do not mind exaggerating the latter figures if the true figures are not deemed sufficiently alluring.
 We are all prone to look at the pro- fits made in mining and forget that it has cost in time, money and nerve to make such profits, or any profits, pos sible, ..---,..... a,
 Consider the case of the Denn-Ari- zona, which is now beginning to take its place among the big producers of the southwest. It ought ito go on a dividend paying basis in the future and therefore is property which the I. w. w. and the socialists would like to confiscate "for the common good.''
 But how about the earlier history of this property? More than $2,000,000 was sunk into the prospect without one dollar of return. The sum, in fact, was nearly double, when one con siders the interest on it and the fact that it was invested about ten years without any revenue whatever in re- turn. The money was wisely invested by competent engineers but the fact remains that for years it represented profitless expenditure and total loss of the men who risked it.
 The history of the Denn-Arizona is precisely that of the United Verde and the United Verde Extension, except for difference in time. There were the same big expenditures, the same losses by stockholders, delays and dis appointments before the tide turned and the flood of money going out be- gan coming in.
 Moreover, there was no assurance that it would ever come in. Many prospects swallow fortunes and never disgorgea a cent. Would the socialists and the I. w. w. chance the invest rnent of millions in prospect which might prove a flat failure-provided they had the millions in the first

SACRAMENTO, Sept 13.-He was out for a good time, but his celebra- tion threatened to get the best of him so he telephoned for the police.
 "Send a patrol wagon to the Colusa bar," was what Sergeant Higgins heard over the phone, "there's a big fellow here that's going to get into trouble. He, thinks he's the hardest egg that ever came from Petaluma. You'd better lock him up." n.
 ."Who's talking?" asked the Ser geant.
 "Jack Davis," came the answer.
 "And who's the man you want ar rested?"

place t,! would they nave the gov .ernment set aside few millions for the investigation of every prospect en- .countered?
 Or would they have private capital take all the risks of developing doubt ful prospects into paying properties only to have them confiscated "for the common good",as soon as they began to pay? Such proposition,is so rid iculous as not to require comment.
 But not more ridiculous than the whole program. of the I. w. w. Itris plain enough that no one. would take the trouble to find prospect or invest a dollar in it afterwards if assured it would be taken away from him when on a paying basis. .'a.t
 Most people realize the absurdity of the I. w. w. plan and it would not require this discussion except for the renewed activity of the traitorous or ganization, many of whose leaders have just been convicted on charges of conspiracy to interfere with and ob- struct the war program of the United States. Not worker ought to be misled by the spacious appeals of these charlatans, but some of them are be- ing misled. The I. w. w. in Arizona and elsewhere is now trying to make workers believe that it's program is not traitorous, but that it is waging a campaign to change industrial condi- tions merely. Let every laboring man
 look beneath the surface of the confis- cation plan, as above indicated, then look back over the record of the I. w. w. since the United States declared 9 state of war with Germany, and then give every l. w. w. recruiter the an- swer he deserves. .

BUTTONS IN GREAT DEMAND
Wartime Necessities May Force Gov.
eminent to Take Over All Suit
able Stocks In Country.

Buttons are one of the many
things that the government has to
concern itself about in times of war.
1t is reported that the stock Of but
tons in this country, that is to say,
the stock suitable for military pur-
poses is to be taken over by the gov
ernment.
Manufacturers of buttons to all
appearances fall far short in their
production, and the shortage is in
tensifed by the fact that England
also seems short of buttons and has
been in the past importing from the
United States.
Buttons are needed in enormous
quantities for the clothing of the
fighting men and the government, it
is reported, is taking an inventory of
the country's stock of buttons of
metal, horn and vegetable ivory and
may save the manufacturers the
trouble of looking for customers.
Good prices will be paid by the gov
eminent.

RIsKED DEATH FOR sHIPMArEs.

At the risk of almost certain
death Philip J. Berger, a seaman,
second class, United States navy, by
his heroic action when the Jacob
Jones was torpedoed has won not
only the highest praise Of his COM
handing officer, but the commenda-
ton of the navy department. Eight
minutes after being struck the de-
stroyer sank, stern first. Most of
the men not killed by the explosion
got clear of the ship and reached
RATS or wreckage. Instead Of swim
ming to safety, Berger remained in
the motor sailer, endeavoring to get
it clear for floating from the ship.
Although he did not accomplish this
task, which would have saved score
of lives, he stuck to his work to the
last, doing all in human power to
rescue more of his shipmates. Final
ly he was forced to let go and was
drawn under the water with the boat.
Later he came to the surface and was
rescued.

FAILURES UsEFUL.

Irving Bachelor, the author Of

article for the American Magazine in
which he says:
81 pity the man who has no fail
ures to his credit whose way has
been smooth and prosperous from be-
ginning to end, because such man
is likely to be riding to the only
tragic failure there is-that Of life
itself. The thing that most often
tends to poverty is the thing we call
success. If ones failures have been
honestly achieved by hard and long
continued effort they become highly
useful and convincing"

GARDENS AROUND BIG GUNS
tIvate Land When Not Busy Bonn
harding the Enemy.

| For upward of 1000 years, an
hereditary fraternity Of gardeners
has cultivated islets in a marshy dis.
trict near Amiens, France, drained
by tiny rivulets which converge in
branches of the now world-famous
River Somme, according to an article
by c. j. B. Brandeth, fellow of the
Royal Geographical society, in the
Wide World Magazine.
This ancient guild, he writes, is
mentioned in records Of the first
steps for the construction of the ia
nous Gothic cathedral at Amiens in
1920. The Hortillons as its men,
bers are called, till the rich land
reclaimed from the marshes in much
the same way that they did then.
The islets raise leeks, carrots, sweet
peas or onions, and the gardeners
reach them in picturesque canoes.
The produce is foated down the
Somme river to the Amiens market.
Since the war nearly all the able
bodied men have been called to the
colors and the work is carried on by
the women. So inherent is the love
of gardening in these island culti-
vators, that some of them who are
attached to a battery of heavy ar
tillery, find time to grow vegetables
in the intervals of bombardment.
They sell their produce at good
prices to the officers messes.
