my life and have been cotton buyer
for many years past. am now ac-
lively engaged in buying cotton ana
farming. The loss to the cotton FAR
mer and the entire cotton belt on
account of manipulation OF the mar
ket is stupendous. The cotton market
several days during the latter part OF
1918 was so violently manipulated
that it was practically impossible TO
buy cotton. We, of course, are al
ways compelled to by at what the

price is. During the same day they

Since 1918 there has been a steady
increase in the price Of all commodl-
ties and the products of industry,
which has not been reflected in a
corresponding increase in telephone
rates. In order to meet the past and
present high cost of telephone opera
ton, revenue in just proportion to
the expense must be secured.
The reason is simple. The cost OF
telephone operation has steadily ad-
vanced both because of the increased
cost of material and the increased
living cost of employer. The consum-
er has realized the necessity of pay
ing more for rent. for food, for cloth
ing and for transportation. The tele-
phone industry has been affected bJ

carburetor Uses Kerosene.

An automatic carburetor has been
developed In England for which aston
ishing claims are made. The details
of its construction are withheld, but
its performance is said on good au-
thority to be remarkable. During a
demonstration test it was used on a
two-cylinder, six-horsepower motor
cycle. The start was made with the
engine cold and the float chamber half
filled with gasoline. The change to
kerosene, while under way, produced
no noticeable difference in the per-
formance of the engine. There was no
knocking on grades, no smoke, no
odor. The cylinders fired crisply. the
pickup was quick, the firing regular ut
all speeds, and the power all that could
be desired. 1t is even claimed that,
with the new carburetor, gallon of
kerosene will drive the motorcycle
and sidecar the unheard-of distance Of
9S miles, but there is no official con-
frmation of this statement.

Learning Deadly Aim.

The skill with which American gun
ners frustrated the attacks of U-boats
was due, In large measure, to the
use of an ingenious target for gun
practice during the voyages. The de-
vice consisted of a framework. about
thirty feet long and five feet wide,
built to be drawn through the water,
with an imitation coming tower and
periscope mounted on the upper side.
1t was drawn behind the ship by
means of two cables attached one above
the other. BY pulling on the upper one,
the upper side of the frame was made
to project forward, causing the target
to rise to the surface, while by pull
ing on the lower cable the device
would quickly submerge. officers out
of sight Of the gunners manipulated
the apparatus, frequently changing
the range by paying out or taking in
the cables.

Londoners Opposed Bridge.

When the population of London was
well ever million and Its houses lay
for miles on each side of the river Il
was apparently well content with one
London bridge. At length. in 1874,
Westminster was seized with the de-
sire to have a bridge of Its own. Ap-
plication was made to parliament for
powers, only tn encounter the fiercest
opposition from the city, the 10000
.watermen, the Inhabitants of South
wark, and the west country bargemen,
all of whom implored the commons to
protect them against this new enemy.
The result was that the bridge was not
built till 1850 Blnckfriars, at frst
called Pitts bridge, was finished in
1860, at a cost Of 100000, betrayed
by tolls. Waterloo was opened on the
second anniversary Of the great battle,
with great pomp by the prince regent
In person. accompanied by his royal
brother. the duke OF York, the duke Of
Wellington and many other distin-
guished persons.

Uneonauered Indian Tribe.

or great interest are the people now
living on small island Off the coast
of the peninsula of Lower California,
who have successfully repulsed all at
tempts of the white man to civilize
them. They are huge Indian race
which has not yet been precisely
placed by ethnologlsts. They wear
pelican skins, hunt with primitive
bows and arrows and stones, fight with
their teeth and nails, and eat human
flesh. The men are all said to be over
six feet tall, and to possess incredible
physical skill and endurance. Accord
ing to one authority. band Of four
can run down and capture mountain
deer, which they then kill with stones.
The Seris, as they are called, have re-
sisted over fifty attempts to conquer
them, and In all the centuries since
their discovery they have permitted
only one white man to land and hunt
on their island. He has somehow mau-
aged to win their friendship by pres
ents Of beads and clothing.

which was blrred with iron. Trav-
elers have had 10 emlnoy strong armed
guards in o''er to pass through In
safety, and archaeological treasures
of incalculab.e valIe have remained
buried because of the danger entailed
In their discovery.
In the Balkan war, Epirus again
was bone Of contention, and, with
the defeat of Turkey, part was re-
turned to Greece, while another Sec
tion formed the southern portion Of
the newly horn principality of AL
bania, on the Ionian sea. An attempt
was made to find a ruler for the lit.
tie monarchy, but after brief ex-
istenca unde- Prince William of Wied,
1t again lapsed into anarchy and since
then no member of European royalty
has sought the job of governing the
turbulent tribes.
Again, In ne world war, 1t came
into prominence, and 1t is considered
probable that the Greek claim to
northern Epirus will be allowed. OF
the same race anC the same tradi-
tions, there appears to be general
concession on the part of other ma
tions, that i.pirus Ggain should be a
part Of Greece. ~

MuItIpIIes Capacity Of Phone Wires.

An achievement more extraordinary
by far than making two blndes of
grass grow where one grew before, is
the sending for five telephone conver-
sations simultaneously over one pair
of wires where but one conversation
could travel before, says Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The new invention
also makes it possible to send 40 tele-
graph messages, simultaneously over
one pair of wires, or they can be used
In part for telephoning and In part
for telegraphing. Ten conversations
can be carried on over two pairs of
wires which formerly could be used
for a maximum Of three conversations
by means Of the so-called phantom
circuit" Tests covering several weeks
have been made Of the system on a
MISUNDERSTANDING line and have
been pronounced successful in every
way. b

Getting Rid Of Marble Waste.

The waste of a Vermont marble
quarry Is reduced by crushers and
rolls to fragments of one-haf inch or
less, and is then burned into quicklime.
The rotary kiln for this purpose is 8
feet In diameter and 20 feet long, In
clined per cent from the horizontal.
1t is driven by belt from a 30-horse
power motor, and has speed of O.5 to
Id revolutions per second. Producer
gas introduced at the lower end yields
temperature of, 200 degrees r..
This converts the rock fragments into
quicklime by driving Off the carbonic
acid gas, and the hot material drops
from the lower end of the kiln into n
rotating cooling cylinder. In this
cylinder the draft Of air passing to
the burning gas cooIs the product for
the storage bins.

QUAINT OLD CORNISH TOWN
Picturesque St. Ives Graphically De.
scribed by Writer in a Chi
caoo Newspaper.

Built close by the side Of its tiny
bay the little fishing town of Saint
Ives huddles over the water, blend.
ing into the rough gray Cornish land
scape. The tiny cottages jumbled
along the narrow, crooked streets are
built of rough stone hewn from ma.
tive rocks. The quaint old streets
themselves are paved with huge ir.
regular slabs of the same stone.
In the tiny, crescent-shaped harbor
the fishing boats rest at anchor dur
ing the day. their tall bare masts,
stripped of canvas, reaching upward
to the sky. Huge white gulls, Saint
Ives own birds, hover and flutter
among the boats and over the water.
the murmur of their hundreds of
wings like the voice of the sleepy old
town.
BY the side Of their cottage doors or
down by the piers the gruff, brown
fishermen sit and smoke, mending
their nets and telling tales of the old
days when the pirates Of Saint Ives
were the terror of the seas; old yarns
that their grandfathers told them, the
grandchildren will tell again. They
themselves are bits Of the scenery and
quaint Cornish atmosphere, gruff and
weather beaten, but kindly and gener-
Gus. At night their tiny boats put out
to sea like a flock of birds, and the
fsherman's working day begins.
The little town smells Of the salt
sea and of the fish drying In each
spotless kitchen. Above each door
hang wet oIlskins and huge sea boots
the fisherman uniform. The adr,
often heavy with mists and fog, Is nev.
ertheless sweet and clean.
Above the old town built on orderly
modern terraces, the new st. Ives
perches in arrogant disdain Of Its hum
Bile sister at its feet. Rnt the little
town itself, supremely unconscious of
disdain or interest, works on and COS
sips as It has done for centuries.--Nik-
sab, In Chicago Daily News.

ALL IN ONE CLASS
Classification Bourgeois" Fits
Every American.
In Reality II 10 Term Of the HIoheSl
Honor, Though Anarchlstic Emo
mics OF All Society
Will Deny II.

The average Americans understand
ing Of the word Bourgeois Is reflect
ed in common saying which has
passed from the country newspaper
Office into ordinary speech: "You can't
run nonpareil newspaper In bour-
geois town" The word, so far as It
Is used In Its typographical sense (and
pronounced "burjoice"), Is synony-
nous with rustlcity and lack of enter
prise. For the term In its European.
social sense, signifying trading mid
die class, the average American >has
never had any use at all, because he
had never been aware of any such d.
vision or classification of the popula-
ton. II he knows the word at all It
Is only through his reading of Euro
pean books or papers. In its con-
tinental European meaning 1t Is en-
tirely strange to our own usage.
But 1t is now made familiar through
the attacks of bolsheviki and Sparta

society except, their own. Another

the term meaAs the trading middle
class citizen. Anclently, 1t included
artisans as welldf they dwelt In cities
and lived In comfortable houses. The
word distinguishes certain people from
royalties. from the nobility, the gentry
or at least the upper gentry-on the
one hand, and from country people
and poor town laborers on the other.
1t Is the same as "burgher" or citizen,
and Shakespeare used "citizen" In ex-
actly the same sense, as when he
makes Jaques speak Of the deer
sweeping along "full of pasture" as
fat and greasy citizens" or when
Imogen, employing the word adjec-
lively, as we do bourgeois" declares
that she Is "not so citizen wanton
as to seem to die ere sick" In Moli-
ere's Bourgeois Gentilhomme," the
meaning Of the word is dramatized in
a comedy Of the attempted evolution
(often accomplished Of the "citizen"
into the gentleman" But all this
true and ancient meaning is swept
aside by the bolshevist, who makes
the word signify all people but him
self. For him, there are In the world
but the proletarlat worker. the money
less Industrial wage-receiyer, on the
one hand and the bourgeois" on the
other, and he makes the hated classi-
fication include czars and kings,
mobiles, merchants, artisans. even
peasants-all who have accumulated
a few rubles or marks, and who hope
by their industry to accumulate q few
more.
We are, then, In America, all bour-
geois-except few agitators on the
East side Of New York and other CEN
ters OF imported discomfort. From
Wilson down to the poorest farmer,
and including Morgan and Rockefeller
and the man who sells apples and
oranges from handcart, we are moth
Ing but bourgeois. 81 thank thee, Jew,
for teaching me that word" "Bour-
geois" has become term of the
highest honor. 1t represents Ameri-
cas- triumphant struggle with the
forces of nature.

ALWAYS TEEMING WITH LIFE
Noises Of Animals, Blrds, or Insects
Never Completely stiIIed In tho
JungIes Of Malay.

One may as well try to describe with
justice the crater. of an active volcano
as to describe the jungle of Malay.
From without one sees dense for
est Of very irregular height and of the
most vivid green imaginable. Here
and there towering above the others
one sees immense trees, 200 feet high
or more. From without the jungle
looks impenetrable, and so 1t is, except
by well-defined tracks, or by hacking
ones way through, as have done, for
$50 miles.
Within the jungle all Is gloom, ex-
cept overhead, where one can see Il
misty light that filters up through the
delicate foliage. All the trees shoot
straight up. there being practically no
horizontal branches from them. In
fact, there are no trees that resemble
the oak or other short-trunked trees.
The ground Is nearly always damp
or even slushy In places, and infested
with land leeches that crawl up ones
clothing and gorge themselves on your
blood. The atmosphere is steamy, but
far cooler than out In the open. / have
taken the temperature just within the
jungle, and found 1t to be about 80 de-
grees, but on placing the thermometer
out In the sun 1t has rapidly reached
the temperature Of 14S degrees.
Early In the morning the jungle re-
sounds with the cries of the monkeys
Just waking up. About 9:30 these
cease and the ordinary day noises Of
birds, and the steady hum of insects
prevail. The frequent tap of woodpeck-
ars, the croak Of huge treefrogs and
the call of the peacock and argus
pheasant re-echo through the jungle.
Every now and then one hears famil-
iar cock-O-doodle-doo and the clucking
near farm, until 1t Is realized that
it is only the jungle fowl, the ancestor
IF all domestic poultry. ~
Toward sunset, about six o'clock,
there suddenly bursts out a perfectly
ieafening din Of buzzing and shrieking
that the noise of the insect life at sum
set makes it practically impossible to
hear oneself speak. This continues un-
til about seven o'clock, when darkness
has set in and then 1t dies away con-
siderably. Throughout the night one
hears all kinds of queer noises that
were absent during the day.
With luck, you may hear the growl
and roar of tiger, hunting some poor
animal. Frequently one hears great
commotion among the birds and mon
keys that had been sleeping in some
tall tree, as their slumber is disturbed
by snake that has climbed up and
caught one of them. A common sound
Is the despairing shrek of jungle
fowl caught by some wildcat. Occa-
.sionally ones sleep is disturbed by q
loud crashing of trees and the trum-
peting of a herd Of elephants. In fact,
the jungle teens with life and death,
day and night.-G. Carveth Wells, in
Oregon Journal.

Rainbow Wonders.

The most familiar form of halo is
the rainbow. When the sunlight falls
on cloud Of water drops on the op-
posite side Of the sky, portion Of 1t
is bent completely back, and In being
bent Is reduced to Its primitive colors.
The arch Of the rainbow is due to the
roundness of the water drops. Rain
bows can occur only when the sun Is
near the horizon. When the sun is
high the refracted light passes over
head and is thereby rendered invisible.
On occasions when the sun shines un-
usually bright two rainbows may be
seen, one above the other.
