TENHE profits in bale of cotton
lie in the difference between

TIC III INC adherence between
the cost Of production and the
price it brings. There is wide variation
in the numerous grades of cotton. The
very best grade brings handsome prcmi-
um while the lowest grades are often un-
marketable.
This is true in spite of the fact that
it costs practically as much to produce a
bale OF poor cotton as it does bale of
good cotton.
1t is, therefore, folly to plant more cot
ton than can be promptly gathered and it
is equally foolish to plant varieties of
mixed staple or poor yield when you can
buy pure pedigreed seed of long or short
varieties which will insure bigger money
return than ordinary seed. Forify against
a low cotton market by producing crop
that will bring the best market prices.
For twenty years we have been breed
ing and perfccting those which we have
found to be the South's best cotton varic-
ties. Our plant-to-row breeding method
has proven the value Of heritage in cotton
and, with our rigid termination tests,
guarantees that all our seed are pure, true

As soon as the Fowler bunch was

did not hesitate at yelling. The
Fowler teams proved little too
strong for us and defeated both
our teams. This eliminates us from

in our own eastern Colorado league
Fowler must be given credit for
good teams but our teams can play
about as good basketball. They
were simply outplayed by faster

A NOBLE ENGLISH VAMPIRE.

THREE of England's dukes are d.
l. rect descendants of Frances How
ard, born in 1893, and one Of the few
English women who may be truly
called vampires. Her father was the
earl of Suffolk, and at the age of thir-
teen he married her to the earl of
Essex, a year older. But she did not
live with him until 1911, though in
the meantime she had become mis-
treSs to the earl of Somerset, favorite
of King James l.
Frances dabbled with soothsayers
and one of these, Mrs. Turner, got
into trouble. She made it known that
Frances had considered poisoning her
husband, whom she hated. The matter
was hushed up and Frances procured
annulment of her wedding ties. Then
she promptly married the earl of Som
erset. Sir Thomas OVERLY, the earl's
friend, earned her undying hatred by
opposing the match. Frances schemed
to have him imprisoned in the tower
VI A@OiuOIls 1iltIl cllC oCI Jul W pOlSol
him. Sir Thomas was aware of the
plot against his life and took anti
dotes which offset the poisons given
TO him in food. So strong was his
constitution that it seemed he never
would die. But finally the end came.
Then new honors were shOwered upon
Frances and her husband. Despite
this, retributiOn was near. A new
favOrite arose at court, the ugly
stories of Overby's end were whispered
everywhere. Weston, the keeper who
had been responsible for the death Of
OVERLY, was arrested and confessed.
He was hanged, then Sir Gervase Hey
Wys, lieutenant of the tower met the
same fate. Mrs. Turner, who had a
hand in the plot, also went to the scat
fold, along with the apothecary who
mixed the pOisons.
The earl of Somerset and Frances
were tried and condemned. 1t seemed
that both were to pay the heaviest
price which the law could exact, but
the power of their families finally won
a pardon for them, and although their
estates were cOntiscated each received
a pension and the right to life, when
four of the lesser guilty ones had been
executed. They were forbidden to stay
in London and made to fix their resi-.
dence at a country place. Perhaps this
was the severest penalty that could
have been inflicted for Frances grew
to hate the man whom she had loved
with such infatuatiOn, and he saw in
her only the instrument Of hiss dis
grace and the tool of fate which had
led to the murder of his friend. The
last years of Frances were filled with
tragedy and remorse. She died at
thirty-nine, leaving an infamous
memory behind her.

Stories of
Great Scouts
BY ELMO SCOTT WATSON
20, 1921. Western Newspaper Union)
LEWIS WETZEL, death WIND
OF THE DELAWARES"

Many of the great scouts did not
become Indian fighters until they were
men, but Lewis Wetzel started early.
He killed his first Indian when he was
only thirteen years old. WetZel was
born in Virginia in 1852. His father
moved to the present site of Wheeling,
w. Va, and was killed there by the
Indians before the eyes of his sons.
Lewis swore eternal enmity against all
redskins.
One day while he and his brother
were roaming in the woods they were
attacked by Indians. Lewis killed one
of the savases and the next instant
was hit by a bullet which carried away
a piece of his breast bone. Both boys
were taken captive. That night while
the Indians slept Wetzel worked
loose the thongs which bound him and
then unfastened his brother.
After the boys had fled for about
mile they discovered that their moe
Casins were torn to Shreds. Leaving
his brother in hiding, Lewis returned
to the Indian camp and, undetected by
the sleeping savages, robbed them of
TWO pairs Of moccasins as well as
gun and some powder and lead.
The next morning the Indians were
hot on their trail and soon were close
upon them. AS the Indians ap-
preached, the boys stepped out of the
trail into clump Of bushes, allowing
their pursuers to speed past, and then
they followed. Soon they heard the
Indians coming back and again they
stepped into the bushes and hid. The
Wetzel boys played this dangerous
game Of hide-and-seek several tines
before they finally eluded the Savages
and returned In safety to their home.
When Lewis Wetzel grew older he
crossed over into Ohio and soon be-
came one of the best-known scouts In
the country.
Wetzel was called "The Death
Wind" by the Delawares whom he
hated particularly. More than once
Delaware warrior trembled with fear
as he heard a shrill, moaning cry echo
ing through the forest, for it usually
was followed soon afterward by shot
from the scouts deadly weapon which
ended the redskins life.
In his later years Wetzel lost the
respect of many people because he be-
gan killing all Indians he met, whether
hostile or friendly, and several times
he was imprisoned for shooting men,
bers Of peaceable tribes. In his last
days he became lonely, bitter old
man until death came to him in 1908.

JOHNNY APPLESEED," SCOUT
WHO PLANTED ORCHARDS

Not all of the great scouts were In
dian fighters. In contrast to the ca
reer of Lewis Wetzel, who was some
thing of professional Indian killer
is the life of John Chapman or
Johnny Appleseed." Chapman never
killed an Indian in his life, but he
probably saved as many white men
from death at their hands as Wetzel
did.
Chapman first appeared on the Ohio
frontier in 1906. He came floating
down the Ohio river in canoe, tow
ing another, and both boats were load
ed with apple seeds from the cider
mills Of Pennsylvania. His purpose
was to plant the seeds in the wilder.
ness so that orchards would be started
for the settlers when they arrived
there to make their homes.
For the next 80 years ne went every
where up and down the Ohio country,
planting seeds, going from one orchard
to another, pruning and caring for the
young trees. He was welcome WIS.,
itor in the log cabins of the settlers
for he always carried Bible and
some books from which he would read
and preach to them before the blazing
fireplaces in the evening.
Johnny practiced his teachings of
humility and kindness. He never killed
anything for food. He carried kit
Of cooking utensils, including q mush
pan, which he sometimes wore as a
hat. Usually he wore a broad-brimmed
black hat but coffee sack with arm
holes cut in it was his only coat.
White men called him queer" for
he often went barefoot In winter as
well as in summer, but the Indians
said, "He has been touched by the
Great Spirit" He went everywhere
among them unframed, for the fact
that Johnny never carried a gun con-
WINGED them that he was under the
special protection Of the Mantle.
During the War of 1912 when the
British were overrunning the Ohio
country, Johnny Appleseed performed
his greatest service for his people. In
his wanderings among the tribes he
often learned of their plans for at
lacks on the settlements. Where no
Other white man could have gone,
Johnny passed In safety and more
than once he carried warnings to the
settlers, giving them time to prepare
for defense before the red invaders
swept down upon them.
All this time Johnny Appleseed was
carrying out his cherished dream OF
making Ohio bloom with fruit trees
and many of the finest orchards in
that state today owe their beginnings
to this strange man. In his later years
Johnny left the country which he had
helped beautify and went to live with
a relative In Fort Wayne, Ind. He
died In 1847.

THE VAMPIRE WHO TRAINED A
TYRANT.

n NE of the most dangerous women
~ in the ancient world was Pop
paea Sabina, wife of Nero. Under her
tutelage he emerged from youth as a
protligate and tyrant. History shows
that before their meeting no other
Roman emperor ever had better
chance of making good on his imperial
job, and none ever failed so mSerably.
When Nero came into power at the
age Of seventeen Rome was just be-
coming acquainted with the luxury of
Greece and the Orient. But he had
been raised like Spartan by his
mother Agrippina who made him en-
peror almost single handed. The rig
OrOus discipline of his mother pre-
sumably should have made Nero a
brave, simple-iving man, like the Ro-
turned to luxurious ways of life. Then
he met and loved Acte, an Asiatic
woman. Agrippina forbade him to
carry on the affair. Nero baked He
was NlhDCIOl anu llOl llclC DOy any
more.
The love affair with Acte estranged
Nero and his wife, Octavia, whom he
had married as a matter of statecraft.
Then he fell under the sway of Pop
paea Sabina and quickly abandoned
Acte. Poppaea also was married, but
as mistress to Nero she chided him
for subsection to his mother. Nero
lost his head and set about doing
whatever Poppaea bid. She was older
than he, but beautiful and seductive
a vampire in very truth. And she meant
to make herself empress. Agrippina
stood In the way, and Poppaea lost no
chance to rub salt upon the wounds
In Nero's pride. Her promptings led
him to his first and perhaps his great
est crime, the murder of his own moth
er. When this deed had been done,
Octavia still remained. But not for
long. She was banished, then muir
dered. POppaea became empress.
Rome, which had seen in its boy
ruler bright promise for the future,
looked on and shuddered. Nero, a
prey to eXcesses of every kind, began
to verge upon madness. He had many
of the most prominent men in the
state executed, including even Seneca,
the philosopher and tutor Of his child
hood. Then Rome was burned and
the whole Of the ancient world whis-
pered that Nero had fired it. The en-
peror began reconstruction on a grand
scale and actually accomplished much
in that way But his race was run.
His last supporters fell away, and
one night the praetorian guard de-

THE VAMPIRE WHO WON MIL
LIONS.

CHE was a woman beloved by two
- kings. She sold the secrets of
each to the other, and made millions
in the process.
Louis NV first loved dainty Louise
de la QuerOuaille. But the historians
say that she proved unfaithful to her
royal admirer. Louis did not let this
prevent him from sending her to Eng
land in the train of a court lady bound
there on visit of state. And he told
Louise to captivate Charles II of Eng
land. Then she was to send him
news Of Englands statecraft and to
influence Charles so that he would
make concessions which the French
monarch wanted. For all Of which
Louis engaged to pay her handsomely.
Louise found the occupation such
an easy one that she decided it would
be just as simple to sell Charles news
Of Louis and his policies. SO she re-
ceived much gold from both kings, but
it is said that she never informed
matters, remaining loyal to her own
land.
This double traffic made Louise a
very rich woman. But her ambition
craved greater honOrs. She persuad.
ed the English king to make her
duchess Of Portsmouth, and as such
she was thoroughly desplsed by the
English people. In addition to
dealing In secrets Of state she
welded her influence at the two courts
to obtain many political appointments,
for which she was duly paid by the
appointees. But Louise was not suf-
ficiently wise to hold all Of this money,
for she became devOtee Of the gam.
Ing tables and lost large amounts with
superb Indifference. At home she
induced Louis to give her d high
position in the French court, telling
Charles that her visits to Paris were
for the purpose of obtaining informa.
ton about the plans of Louis. Then
Charles suddenly died, in 1885. His
successor James II, packed Louise off
to France, bag ana baggage. Much of
her wealth had been dissipated She
found herself without an occupation.
her English possessions lost, and only
a scanty welcome at home. And in
the course of a little while she dis.
appeared from court, her purse pen.
nlless. Louis paid heed to her mis-.
fortunes and granted small pension
which served to sustain the arch spy
and vampire for the remainder Of her
brief days.
