CHAPTER XVI.

While Ricardo watched beside the
unconscious Webster one Of his aides
galloped up the street, to return pres
emily with a detachment with stretch
ers, into which Webster and Don Juan
Cafetero were laid and carried up the
palace driveway into the huge golden
reception hall where only the night
before Sarros had greeted the bellies
and beaux of his capital In the mean
time Mother jerks had succeeded In
restoring Dolores to consciousness;
supported by the indomitable old
woman the girl slowly followed the
grim procession until, at the door of
the reception room, they found their
further progress barred by a sentry.
"The red-haired man is dead" he
Informed them in response to their
eager queries. "If you want his body"
he continued, hazarding a guess as to
their mission. II guess you can have

pointed to the stretcher which had
been set down along the wall OF the
reception hall.
"Ow about the other?" Mother
jerks demanded. Don Juan Cafetero
had, unfortunately, been so much Of
a nuisance to her in life that she was
not minded to be troubled greatly
over him In death, although the Spar
tanlike manner of his exit had thrilled
the British bulldog blood In her.
"The big fellow isn't quite dead yet,
but Pm afraid he's a goner. Tire
surgeons have him in this room now.
Friend of yours, Mlss2" he inquired
In tones freighted with neighborly
sympathy.
Dolores nodded.
"Sorry / can't let you In, Miss" he
continued, "but the General ordered
me to keep everybody out until the
doctors have finished locking him
over. If ! was you, I'd wait in that
room across the hall; then you can

Mother jerks accepted his advice
and steered her charge into the room
indicated. AS they waited, Ricardo
Ruey stood anxiously beside the table
on which John Stuart Webster's big,
limp body reposed, while Doctor Pach-
eco, assisted by a SObrantean con-

A Polk county town recently shipp- ed car load of eggs to market, and only last week a car load of poultry was shipped. Being mountain coun- ty Polk has only small area, com pared with her whole area suitable for agriculture, yet her farmers are among the most independent set of folks in the state. A visit to one of the widest sections of Polk county mountains last summer revealed to the writer how those particular moun- tainers lived with patches here and there no larger than a garden patch. The mountain Sides were covered with fine cattle, grade stuff in many in- stances, and chickens were numerous. These people live at home and pay cash for their incidental needs. What might not people be able to do with broad fertile acres should they form the dependent policy that these people must of necessity follow?

 REGULAR ARMY IN WORLD
But Counting Reserves Italy Is Now Leading the Military Power.

REVIEW OF COTTON TRADE
Long Decline Slackens Speed-Net
 Loss is B to 40 Points.

New Orleans, March 7.-The price changes in the cotton market last week were narrower than usual and the net results were losses of 35 to Al points in the contract department.
 May closing at 11.27. In the spot department middling lost 50 points in the net results, closing at HOO. The political situation in Europe was the main factor against values and it was the cause of small declines on the closing session. At the highest of the week prices were to p points over the close of the preceding week and at the lowest they were 61 to 89 points under. The range of prices was 76 to S9 points. May traded as high as 11.S9 and as low as 10,S7, the lat ter price being new low mark for the season.
 A feature of the week that attract ed great deal of attention was the statement on sales of fertilizers to the first of March, issued by Secre- tary Hester of the New. Orleans Cot ton Exchange. This was the first of ficial information to be had on the subject and it disclosed a more un- favorable state of affairs than gen. erallyA expected. Figures from seven states showed an average decrease of 65.3S pr cent in sales, compared with sales to the same date last year. There was disposition in some quarters to claim that the fertilizer returns might be accepted as a pointer to the acre. age to bs planted this spring.
 This week the market, according to all indications will be obliged to fol- low political naAeuvers abroad very closely. Any further delay in settling the grsak question connected with the ending ef the war could hardly fail te haze an un1axsrabls effect on the txa1aes. Aside from politics the trade will watch the weather over the belt more closely for considerable cotton is being planted in the earlier sections of Texas and preparations for plant ing are being pushed in more south ern portions of other states.

WE MUST CUT THE
 COTTON ACREAGE
Southern Farm Journal Gives Good Advice to the Cotton Growers
 of This Section.

Whatever the exact figures may be, there is undoubtedly an enormous carry-over of cotton. Whatever the exact percentage of acreage reduc- tion ought to be, 1t is undoubtedly going to be more than we are going to get.
 The Progressive Farmer has not en- unused overS talk of a 50 per cent cut in acreage for very simple reasons. In the first place, we are not going to get 50 per cent cut. No cut in cotton acreage greater than 16 per cent has ever been achieved in the past" While ws should exceed that figure now. ws can't expect 50 per cent. Consequently, talking of 50 per cent is likely to have two bad results. In the first place, many farmers will not sign up for . 50 per cent reduction program who would sign up for . more moderate rsdxstisn program. Second, the farmer who doesn't sign, since he hears talk of 50 per cent  cut, is likely to look for a big reduc- tion, and therefore will increase Cor fail to reduce) his own acreage, whereas talk of smaller cut would not so much encourage him in this folly.
 These are the reasons why the Pro- gressive Farmer has opposed talk of 50 per cent reduction. We believe talk of 25 per cent cut would ac- complish more real reduction. If everybody followed the Memphis acre. age reduction pledge, the cut in cot ton would be 50 per cent. But only a fraction will sign. Anyhow, we issue a warning to the selfish farmer who

FACTS ABOUT COTTON.

World production of cotton outside of the United States, for factory con- sumption, has averaged 7,13S,900 bales for the past ten years, according to U. s. census figures.
 Pink boil worm, the most deadly of all enemies of the cotton plant first made it's appearance at Hearne, Texas, in 1917. Like boil weevil it came from Mexico.
 Foreign grown cotton to the num- Der of 6S2,911 bales was imported into the United States last year. It con- sisted mostly of Egyptians, and was the largest quantity ever imported.
 The number of ginneries in the United States in 1919 was 22,41S, of which 1S,S15 were active, and ginned an average of SO2 bales each.
 Of the total of 18,815 active gins in the United States during 1919 all but 93 were saw-gins.
 Roller gins are used principally in ginning sea-island cotton, and the long staple cotton of Arizona and California.
 There is now enough cotton in the world, unspun, to last nearly two years.
 The total capacity of gins in the United States indicates that 12,OOO,OOO bale crop could be ginned in a single month. The total engine horse power employed in ginneries of the United States in 1919 was 973,717. Bolivar county. Miss, was the only county which ginned more than 1OO,- 900 bales in 1919; seven reported more than 75,OOO, 25 more than 5O,OOO and 12S more than 25,OO0 bales.
 The cotton crop of 1919 was ginned in SS7 counties, of which 30S ginned less than 5000 bales each.
 From the year 1900 to the outbreak of the great war in 1914 the number of cotton spindles has increased at the rate of about 100000 every year. Since 1914 the number of cotton spindles fit for use has been reduced from a total of 154,OOO,OOO to a total | of 13S,000,000, decrease of 16,00O,OO | during the six years. In the United States there are 6S counties which have more than 10,- 900 cotton spindles each. Briston county, Miss, with 7,632, 2,OO3 i spindles, leads all other counties in the total number.
 Rough Peruvian cotton is used to some extent for mixing with wool in the making of wool textiles, especially imitation woolens.
 Chinese and Indian cotton are used to a very limited extent for mixing with American cotton in the manufac- ture of the cheaper grades of goods.
 Nearly all of the cotton consumed in the United States is domestic up- land cotton.
 The term upland" is applied to all cotton produced in this country, ex- cept sea-island cotton, and includes the long staple upland varities.
