For the eaId.Headed Man.

The planting of hair on bald heads
is the latest victory of French medi-
cal science. There is therefore no
reason any more for wig makers, ac-
cOrding to Raymond de Passot, who
has just revealed the success Of his
scalp-grafting experiments to the
Paris faculty Of medicine.
M. de Passot notices that badness
never affects seriously the temporal or
Occipital regions. By cutting rectan-
gular strips of hairy skin from these
portions of the scalp, and grating
them on the under areas, he quickly
has series of fertile patches which
can be brushed in such way that the
rest of the bald spot is covered. By
using longer and narrower strips from
the front backwards bald man may
even be able to have permanent CEN
ter parting.

HIS BLUFF FINALLY CALLED
Union Pilots Shrewd Scheme Brought
to End by What Might Be Called
Hard Luck.

During the Civil war there was q
mysterious boat that used to travel
the Mississippi river. Her name was
the Red Cloud. Her Ohio owners had
turned her over TO the Northern army.
She was used to get supplies from the
southern ports. She few the Union
flag while in upper waters, and when
she reached the dividing line she hoist
ed the Confederate flag.
When challenged. her pilot, Hamp
Thornton. would shout back the name
Of some boat he knew had been given
permission by the COnfederates to run
that particular night. Always all lights
were out It was said the pilot knew
the river so well he could steer to New
Orleans bllndfOlded.
One night. however. near vicksburg,
Z ship lying In harbor raced ont to
challenge the Red Cloud. Her cap
tain called out the name Of the very
steamer challenging him. Information
was sent to the Confederate officers at
VIcksburg, and when the Red Cloud
passed the batteries she was fired up
on and set atire. All of the crew were
captured except Thornton, who dived
OF and swan ashore, later getting
back to Union lines and fighting as
q soldier.

Prices Govern Increased and
Reduced Production

Although much was said in
the spring of 1920 about labor
being so short that a full crop
could not be planted, the acre
age planted to cotton in 1920 in
the nine large cotton growing
states was 2,769,O0O acres more
than in 1919, and 2, 230, 600 acres
of this increase was in Texas
alone and $4,000 acres in
Arkansas.
1t may also surprise some who
Just knew we didn't have
labor enough to plant, cultivate
and pick a large crop of cotton, !"
that the 2,769, 900 acres or SO
per cent increase in the cotton
acreage in these nine cotton
states was not obtained by an
equal reduction in the corn acre
age; for in these same nine
states the corn acreage was only
reduced 264, 600 acres.
The acreages to the two crops,
cotton and corn, in these nine
states were as follows:
1919, cotton, 80, 900, OOO'acres-
corn, 80, 791, 900 acres.
1920, cotton "a, 1876, 600 acres :
corn, 80, SGT, 600 acres.
In other words, an increase of
SO per cent in the cotton acre
age of these nine states only re-
suited in a decrease of 0.8 per
cent in the corn acreage. Nor
did the 2,230,0OO acres increase
in the cotton acreage of Texas
come from a reduced corn acre
age, for while the cotton acreage
of Texas was increased $3.50, 600
acres or 213 per cent, the corn
acreage was only reduced 60, 900
acres or less than per cent.
Nor did Texas increase her
cotton acreage by reducing her
acreage to the grain sorghums
for she actually increased the
acreage to grain sorghums 1O9,
900 acres or more than she de-
creased her corn acreage. Oh
course. the acreage to wheat
and oats was reduced but these
combined failed by over l, 900, DOC
acres to equal the increase in the
cotton in Texas in 1920.
All of which goes to show
that when prices are good there
is always land available and
labor enough to plant, cultivate
and pick a large cotton crop.

Of dragon flies, bees and other in
