The Reckless Driver.
There three husky cops were
standing, coppers they, from the
Fifth precinct. Saw they that
the truck was Iightless; noticed
that it's course was zigZag. Called
; they loudly to the driver that he
stop his car instanter. To the
roadway jumped the trio, waved
their arms in warlike gestures.
But the boob steered for the trio,
scattered them in all directions.
Just as John D. scatters nicl1els,
so the driver scattered coppers.
All! The nickels went for kick
corn that we find in great profu-
sion in the forests and the sWanp-
lands--in the pastures OF me

Dropped he then his gun and

upon the pavement; and upon the

Opened then the boob the throt-
tie, gave her all the gas shed

him from the sieve that Sits the

furnace in the gray and chilly
morning Of the bleak and weary
winter.
.sYour driving was reckless" the

TEXAS COTTON POOR
Crop DeteriOrates From Lack Of Rain.
Government Report SAYS.

Washington. ID. C.. Aug. 15.-The
weekly weather and crop review issued
today by the Department of AgricuI-
ture contains the following:
As rule temperatures were near
normal IN the cotton belt during the
first two weeks of August. except for
intensely hot and dry weather in the
western portion. particularly in Okla
bona. Very little rain fell in the
western portion of the belt. but show
ers were rather frequent from the Mis-
sissipi valley eastward. The period
was generally unfavorable for cotton.
although the crop made fairly good
progress in some central and eastern
portions of the belt.
Showers were scattered and entirely
insufficient in Texas. where cotton
deteriorated and its condition was
mainly poor to only fair; drought and
heat caused shedding and premature
opening. but weevil and other insects
were doing little damage. Picking and
ginning progressed rapidly, with bolls
opening fast.
