RIPPING RHYMES
BY WALT MASON
THE WORLD MOVES

Nowadays we see tn" tractor doing duty, like a charm it's
the most important factor in the business of the farm. Oh, we
see the farmer sitting on a spring seat painted green, and a
Wondrous gait he's hitting, as he tools his weird machine.
Horses look to him like takers, and for mules he'd give no
mons for he plows a dozen acres where a team would fail at
one. AS l view the mighty tractor olden times return to me,
when l. was a tragic actor in the scenes of h~usbandry. One old
mule was my allotment, one old mule of brindled gray, and she
knew just what a swat meant, for l larruped her all day. All
g." ~N''v f"v whacEed her. soaked her ribs, and then again,
and I longed to have a tractor, which was not invented then.
or ribs [ polished, hoping thus some speed to gain;
but all schedules were abolished by that mule and clods We're
vain. All my better years were squandered in this slow and fu-
tile way; up and down the field l wandered, slow as goose
grease, through the day. And the mule-at last I sacked her,
and took up a fountain pen, sore because the useful tractor
had not been invented then.

Mr.. Waters answer?
These same trucks are still run

If Mr.. Waters does not care to

ITO BE A SECOND WIFE SEEMED LIKE
HAVING A WARMED OVER DINNER

nNLY it was affection instead of love that was
Owarmed over.
So reasoned Sandra Courtney, with all the inno-
cence of just-eighteen. Never, never, would she
marry man who had been married before!
And yet Everett Graham, rich and handsome
forty-one and widower, persuaded her to marry
him. SO she put aside the persistent little doubt
that would creep into her mind, even on her we'd
ding morning, and went trustingly away with
him.
Her chum said the ghost of his first wife would
haunt her. But Sandra laughed at that idea.
Didn't she love Everett in the overwhelm-
ing fashion the novels painted to be sure but that
sort Of love would come in time Did it come?
And did she have reason to be jealous Of that
earlier wifee Read "Sandra the Jealous, begin

COTTON BACK TO
81 CTS; VIOLENT
RISE IN FUTURES

Local spot cotton touches 80 cents
again today on the strength of vio-
lent rise of more than 100 points in
the future market. Very little cotton
was reported sold here during the day
the farmers still holding, expecting
at least 35 cents.
The greatest rise for the day was
October option on the New York ex-
change, which scared ISL points, at
the high point, touching 31.93 against
a previous close of 30.42. The same
month closed at a rise of 126 points
over Wednesdays close. December
closed at net increase of 1873 points
July was up for a net rise of 98
points. Local spots buyers were Of
fering July quotations for good mid
ding spot.
Cotton conditions have continued
adverse throughout the cotton belt
most of the season and the truth of
this fact is believed to be dawning
upon consumers and spectators
alike. The continued wet weather has
been a great handicap to proper cul-
tivation, and is said to have caus-
ed the boil weevil to flourish, Many
experienced cotton men are now talk
ing of a half crop, at double normal
prices.

RANDOLPH FOR
SENATE, IS hint
FROM CAPITAL

ATLANTA, June 19.-The many
friends over the state and the south
of Hollins N. Randolph, well known
lawyer of Atlanta and a partner of
Edward 7. Brown, relative and per-
sonal adviser of President Wilson,
will be interested in a current news
dispatch from Washington, where
Mr.. Randolph has been for some time
on business, suggesting his name in
connection with the United States
senatorship from Georgia next year.
The suggestion is said to have
originated with several of Mr.. Ran
dolph's Georgia friends in Washing
ton, for Mr.. Randolph himself has
said nothing about it, not even to his
closest friends in Atlanta His At
lanta friends received the first in
formation in the newspaper report
from the national capital.
Mr.. Randolph has always taken a
prominent part in Georgia politics,
but always on behalf of his friends,
and never for himself. He has never
asked for an office, nor even sug-
gested that he would like to have
one; but he has been of great assist
ance to his friends who were in the
running.
He is widely known over the state
and, regardless of what may or may
not develop as result of the sugges-
ton, it will be subject of much in
teresting speculation.
