Equipped with a pipe, a deck of
cards, and a boys hatchet, three young
lads, aged l., Il and 16. who live a
few miles north of Colorado Springs,
started out via "side-door Pullman
to be bandits and see the world"
they told police who apprehendod them
in tho railroad yards here Sunday
They were turned over TO Bob Nor
man. superintendent of the Sunshine
Rescue Mission. Norman put them in
his car, and started for the Springs
with them. The nearer they came to
home, Norman stated. the happier the
boys became to think that their ad-
venture was ending with so little trou-
bic.
We gotta so to school tomorrow"
said one
Bet we set lickin' though" put
in another.
Norman put them afoot at the city
limits OF Colorado Springs, and told

WILL COST 28 CENTS
TO PRODUCE COTTON
FIGURES BASED ON INVESTI-
CATION MADE BY GEORGIA
BOARD OF ENTOMOLOGY.

In letter addressed to the farmers
of Georgia Commissioner OF Agricul-
ture ]. J. Brown announces that a
careful investigation made by the
state board of entomology together
with its staff OF cotton specialists
shows that on a conservative basis
the cost of producing the 1921 cotton
crop will be % cents per pound.
In this estimate Commissioner
Brown states, the present prices OF
fertilizers, calcium arSenate and other
essential materials were taken into
consideration, and the farmer was al
lowed wage only about hall that
over the country.
How can our farmers afford to
plant cotton crop under these con-
ditions, and when the sales now beng
made by the exchanges for fall del1v-
cry are at a price just one-halt OF the
known cost OF production Of this sea-
sons crop?'
That's the way Commissioner
Brown puts it up to the producer, and
he continues:
conditions every day more clear
ly demonstrate the folly and useless
ness OF planting a normal crop we
have tried to be conservative in recon-
mending half crop OF cotton in the
hope that the cotton consuming world
would realize the fairness OF our pO-
sition and be willing to pay cost OF
production, with reasonable profit.
Under present conditions with the
high prices of materials it is practical
ly impossible for the south to produce
more than IS per cent OF normal
crop, even if the present price were
satisfactory, and it is more than reas-
enable to assume that since present
prices are only about half the cost OF
production this year there will be a
voluntary curtailment of at least Is
per cent. In the face of these facts
it is difficult to see how the short sell
ers can continue to sell for fall deliv-
cry at around IA cents a pound
I'VE are in the midst of tie greatest
struggle that has ever been waged for
the survival OF the cotton producer.
In recent trips through Georgia, COW
ering some sixty counties, | found
thousands of farmers who will not
plant single cotton seed this year,
and many others who will plant only
one third of their tillable lands. This
policy throughout the cotton belt, and
Ia cooperative system OF marketing
like the California plan, would win the
fight Tor the south and she could hold
the pricing of cotton in her own hands.
Il again appeal to Georgia farmers
not to plant any cotton unless they
can see where they can sell it at the
cost OF production plus reasonable
profit 1t would be far better to buy
the cotton from those who are selling
it for less than cost and let them pro
duce tiff they can

BAKED IN HOT OVEN
FOR FULL HOUR; ALIVE
CHICKEN AND BREAD, ENDUR-
ING THE SAME HEAT, WERE
ROASTED BROWN.

PARIS, France.-For wager OF
$500 a man named Martinez suffered
himself to be practically baked alive
in the presence OF a number OF scien-
fists. He entered a huge oven, spe-
cially built. after it had been heated to
a temperature OF 312 degrees Fahren-
heit, or about 100 degrees hotter than
boiling water. Then the door was clos
ed and he was left alone for an hour
in company with an uncooked chicken
and an unbaked loaf of bread. Candles
were also provided that he might have
light during his incarceration-or in
cineration, as many people thought 1t
would turn out.
When he was released. however, he
was found alive and well, with the
chicken and loaf cooked to a turn. The
candles had become boiling tallow.
Martinez afterward repeated his per-
Torrance in Brussels, Milan and other
cities, but there must have been some
thing subnormal in his constitution,
since of several would-be emulators OF
his feat none succeeded in staying out
the full hour while two, at least, per
ished miserably. Probably his success
was due in part to the care he took
to have every particle of moisture eX-
tracted from the oven before he en-
tered it, since it is a well-known fact
that hot, dry air does not so adverse
ly affect person as hot moist air.
