Ten EeIs Drag Angler
To Battle in Current

Newton. N. J.-Martin Cutler
announced to his fellow work
men that he was "going out to
get ten eels." He got the ten
cells all right, but his life was
endangered in the exploit.
After catching the cells he at
tached them to a string, one end
of which he tied to his rubber
boots. He then waded In the
stream. The cells, rushed along
by the current, entangled his
legs and the angler was thrown
under water. Mr.. Cutler. after
hard struggle, managed to
reach the bank.
And then, as he was removing
his rubbev pOots, the ten cells
wriggled away into the water
and We're gone.

phaszed the lack OF demand Tor lower
grades and the probability tnat some of
that sort of cotton will be shipped mere
for delivery, though it is thought tnat
the selling against it was largely done
earlier in the month and is for the most
part out of the way.
Exports we're 10000 today, and IT IS
