Had Lots of Pluck.

George Thibault, proprietor Of the
summer hotel at Outlet. village a
few miles from Picton, Ont, was driv-
ing his car towards home recently
when he CHANGED to meet herd Of
cattle. The owner of the auto slowed
down to allow the animals to pass
without undue excitement. All went
well till he met the leader of this large
bovine family, splendid young roam
bull. The latter resented the pres
ence of the mechanical ccntrivance
bearing down through the herd on low
gear. Lowering his massive head, he
charged, resulting in only few
bruises to himself but twisted axle.

Industrial Fatigue.

An investigation of the subject OF
Industrial fatigue conducted in the

"1'm a sad sea crab" said the sea
crab. mot because I've anything to
be sad about, but just because I'm
sad.
IF you asked me what 1t meant to
be sad, wouldn't know, for don't
know the difference between being sad
and being glad.
81 don't know what words mean,
and don't care. So I suppose
would be speaking the truth just as
much If I said was glad.
But it would sound very confusing
If said one moment that l was sad
and the next that I was glad. 1t is
better for me to say l am sad, and be
done with 1t. And besides look sad.
l have very mournful face-a face
that looks so mournful that it almost
makes you laugh.
Usually no one laughs when a
mournful face is seen, but there is
something rather ridiculous about my
expression.

"And if they all wept they would
all begin to wade in tears and then
swim in tears and then dive in tears,
and then be drowned by tears.

"Of course they might laugh at my
face, for, as | say, it is a funny look

Movement Launched at
Conference.

Efforts to make the coming cotton
held in Memphis Dec. 7-S, the biggest
gathering of representative Southern
cotton growers and business men
ever gathered in the South are meet
ing such hearty responses from over
the entire cotton belt as to lead the
committee having charge of the con-

connection Mr. King ANNOUNCES that
ample hotel reservations have been
made. for all who care to come to
Memphis to attend the conference.

n The committee Is impressed with
the Importance Of the work before IT.
1t is felt that the financial salvation
of the South lies in reduction OF
the cotton acreage SO as to reduce
the present oversupply of cotton
down to normal basis and then
produce cotton only In such amounts
as the world will readily consume
This, it is urged is only in line with
the tenets of good business, and in
addition will insure the independence
of Southern farmers by the growth
at home of those things which are
required to keep the farm family
going and produce cotton crop.
Bankers are quite generally inter-
ested in the plan and in most cases
thew have promised their co-opera-
ton in the movement by arranging
credits only for that part or the
farming community which VIII
agree to plant certain proportion
of acres to food and feed crops to
the amount seeded to cotton For
merly. the requirement has been FOR
so many acres planted to cotton pc
fore credit would be advanced. "A
strong policy along these reversed
credit lines should do more toward
reducing the cotton acreage IMAM

Snow Melting Rapidly

The snow is melting very rapidly
this week, following the storm Of last
week and within few days it will
have entirely disappeared in the
Mouse River valley. There is still
plenty of snow on the prairies but
it is settling and will disappear at a
surprising rate. In the valley, the
frost is going out Of the ground and
much of the water is finding its way
into the soil. The low places will
be filled with an abundance of water
a hay crop thus being assured. While
the storm was severe, the farmers
welcome the additional moisture, be-
lieving that this will most certainly
be favorable year for crops. 1t

work can be done in the fields.

impossible for several days but autos
are again running. The street de-
partment has a large force Of men
busy keeping the catch basins open,
thus reducing the damage from water.
