Cotton Scars Sensationally

The financial section of the New
Orleans 1imes-Picayune of Monday
contained the following on the sub
ject:-
The past week has been a sensa-
tfenal period in the history Of the
cotton trade as on September l the
government issued the lowest con-
dition .8-for August 25
on record and indicated a crop of on
ly about 7,037, 900 bales, the small
est yield if ultimately realized in
more than twenty-five years. 1t is
not surprising that under the cir
cumstances prices for both spots and
contracts soal ed, both. showing gains
for the week of about S11 a bale,
while the demand for actual cotton
increased heavily.
With crop of practically 7,000,-
600 bales exclusive of linters indi-
Gated, the carryover from the old
crop, which was for long time an
intoierable weight on the market,
mas suddenly become an absolute me-
cessity as with consumption at home
restored to normal proportions the
entire cEop would be needed for home
use, leaving the amount OF the carry
over to be largely absorbed by ex-
ports. Even If the worlds consump-
tipn should be no larged than 12,-
5000 bales, the carryover at the
end Of the present season would be
on a famine basis.
People who haven't much money
cannot afford to take chances on the
price of cotton. The decline may sud
denly be as rapid as the advance
was.

Fhe art of training animals is the
art of inspiring them with fear. Au-
diences like to believe that the ami
mails enjoy doing their tricks, and
that they are treated like pampered
darlings, and that they just love
their masters to death. But God help
all trainers and their meal tickets If
the audiences would see behind the
scenes. Every trained-animal turn
would be taken off the stage instant
-er, and they'd be all hunting for a
Job.

"If I owned Texas and was run
ming the government for my private
benefit" Governor Neff says, "the
first thing I would do would be to
weed out every employe except just
enough to do the work of the state

Amen brother! A good plan for all
kinds of government.

THE total expenditures of the
cities, townships, counties, and states
exceed those of the federal govern
ment, except only the payment on

says Postmaster General Will Hays.
The opportunities for economy are
just as great among municipalities as
with the federal government.

In Prentiss county four men from
one family were sent to the pen for
a year each for manufacturing Ii
quor. Uncle Sam is now sending the
illicit liquor makers and sellers to
the federal pens when the states get

stern application Of the law will turn
the tide in the interest of those
things embodied in it that make for a
better nation.

In West Virginia men wrote in
a woman's name on the ballot be-
cause they claimed her opponent was
a machine politician. She was elect
ed on her city's school board. That
action by the men prophesies a bet
ter citizenship-not because wo-
man was elected but because they
want sincere service without any
strings tied to it." Women are free
to be righteous citizens and office
holders as men are not. Women are
uncontaninated and God grant that
they remain SO.

The teacher in rural communities
is often given little consideration in
regard to living place people
seeming to think If she has place to
sleep and something to eat these
are the only things necessary. The
U. S. bureau of education is there
fore considering the advisability of
establishing "teacherages' in such
communities to- provide real home
for the teachers, and thus check the
shortage of self-respecting and quail
fed teachers. In some other coun-
tries a home for the teacher goes

Prize Winning Team Of Alaskan
Dogs in "Buckins the Tiger" Tenn

died BY Conway Tearle
| Conway Tearle. who is starring in
''Bucking the Tiger" the Selznick
Picture which comes to the Strand
theatre today, is a great dog lover,
and it is very rarely that he appears
in picture which has not at least
one dog in it.
In the coming production Mr..
Tearle drives one of the finest teams
of malamutes to be found in Alaska,
and worth several thousand dollars.
These dogs are very temperamental
and, while they will mush over an
incredible number of miles per day.
and will draw considerable load
without complaint, they insist on kind
treatment. Nagging will spoil the
best dog in the team, and as soon as
one dog shows signs of temper his
team mates follow, suit promptly,
and the result is that upon the slight
est provocation the whole is snarl-
ing mass.
The diet of these dogs consists of
bacon, rice, dried salmon, corn meal
and oatmeal with bacon. They are
fed once a day, in the evening.
The dogs, which have a consid-
cradle strain of wolf in them do not
always take kindly to new master
and if they are not won over are
! very dangerous to handle. Mr.
4 Tearle, however. experienced no diff
Y ficulty with them and after complet-
ing the scenessin which they ap-
peared was very emphatic i'm his

GYPS|ES NOW HIT
 TRAIL IN MOTORS

Gypsies of a. new kind are becom- ing usual all over the United States But, unlike the gypsies cf a former day, they do not tell fortunes nor talk Romany but are real Americans in every sense of tho word Yet. they are gypsies just the same because they live in a home on wheels. eat oy the wayside, sleep where night over takes them and they ale as independ- ent of hotels as an 1sigane.
 The new gypsies navel by motor in a miniature hotel fitted with be Is, cooking outfit, books, heating de- vices, regular plumbing, pantry and sometimes shower bath. ln lhlS equipage a man, his family and guests may start out on their wan derings and as long as funds hold out the whole civilized world is theirs
 Towns are setting aside camping
 grounds for these nomads. Thousands
 of them annually traverse the south-
 west. Their trade is valuable. Each member of a party on an average leaves one dollar a day behind hifn at stores en route. At many places motor tourists are given the freedom of the municipal parks as well as wood chopped ready for use, running water and other camping needs.
 The movement is in full blast i abroad. In England 1t is called car avanning. The tendency there is to have a living car in the form of a l trailer attached to the owners reg

MOTORING FTS T0 BE GIVEN ON
 THIS CHRISTMAS

So widespread has been the h. terest developed in motoring that the coming Christmas is becoming known among members of the automobile in dustry, the otoring public and access sorry dealers in particular, as the mo- tCrlng Christmas" says L. Fl. Sorey, manager of the Western Auto Supply company.
 For many years the value and ap- propriateness of automobile supplies had been overlooked in the prepara- ton of lists for the distribution of Christmas presents.
 This year, however, Christmas has different meaning for automobile owners, we believe. For there are thousands of new automobile owners proud of their cars, and old owners slll take pride in their machines They all want to improve the ap- pearance of their cars and as result both friends and relations are find- ing the most useful and appreciated presents are those which have to do with the motor car.
 So friends are buying for other motoring friends such gifts as ton- neau robes. radiator ornaments. spot lights, luncheon kits, windshield wings, tires, chains, thermos bottles, locks for both car and robes, rear view mirrors and. hundreds of other accessories which will be gratefully received by any car owner.
 One thing more. Better do your Christmas shopping earlier than ever this year. It will give you a greater variety and more complete stock to select from and you will receive more attention from the salesmen, who will not be as rushed for the next few weeks as they will be during the last few days prior to Christmas"
