NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 29.-Poor
cables caused declines of to
points on the opening of the cotton
market today, but after October
traded down to 23.47 a new demand
vas met, based on continued rains
irI the eastern belt, which were con-
s.dered detrimental to the crop, and
prices reacted. At the end of the
first hour Of trading October stood
at 1857 with the list showing net
gains of 9 to II points.
Further low private crop condition
figures caused moderate buying. One
report estimated condition at 56.3
per cent of normal, and another at
k5.3. The weekly crop reports had
10th favorable. and unfaVorahle Tea
lures and were considered something
Of a stand-off. In the trading up
10 IL O'Clock October rose to 23.77,
where the list showed net gains OF
IS. to 81 points.
Claims over private wires that
flore spot cotton was being sold to
lew England mills and that better
business was being done in the cloth
markets of the country maintained
he gradual upward movement OF
prices. In the trading up to 1890

EARLY DAYS.

Roland and his brother Robert, who
also lives in Boston today, went t.
school three or four months in a year,
between harvesting and planting time
in Curryville, Ga.
That was their birthplace. At Chat.
tanooga they alternated in studying
and working, one working a year and
earning money while the other studied
then turn about, as is the manner of
fair play.
Robert remembers that at school Ro
land. when called on to get up and
speak his piece. used to get so nervous
beforehand that he would put his head
down on his desk and cry.
And II was the same thing at Sun
day school," said his sister-i in law, Mar
garet Hayes. ITS funny to think OF
isn't it? Roland stands up now to any
audience without culver, but in those
days I guess you'd have said he could
never hope to stand up to an audience
anywhere"
AT the Chattanooga school a certain
number Of pupils were trained each
year to sing. The brother of one of the
tea chers was Arthur Calhoun of Ober.
lin Conservatory. Roland accepted his
offer to teach him singing with de.
gree Of indifference, but-he began to
sing.

HIGH SCHOOL Urls GET
LESSONS In ETIQUETTE

WATERFOWL, May T. Girls in
the homo economies department of the
high school evidently agree with Lord
Chesterfield, who wrote to his son
away at college and said: Manners
must adorn knowledge and smooth it's
way in the world. Like a great dia-
mond in the rough it may do very well
in the closet by way of curiousity, and
also for its intrinsic value; but it will
never be worn, nor shine, il it is not
polished.
All of which means that the high
school students today realizes that
modern society makes certain de-
mands regarding manner of living and
association with the rest of society.
The day is long past when the man
or women can do "as / please" and
still be welcome and their company
sought after.
To meet the growing demand for
some method of learning the forms of
etiquette, the home economics depart
ment of the high school has stepped
into the breach and introduced a nov
ell yet simple method of learning while
enjoying the best OF The
method consists in combining the
cooking lessons of the department
with the course in manners" which,
while having no official standing in
the curriculum, nevertheless proving
popular and doing good work.

SILVER FOX FARM AT HURON
Is PAYING INVESTMENT

Huron.-With the gates of the James
Valley Silver Fox farm closed abso-
lutely to the public until after June
/, and two husky German police dogs
on yigilent patrol day and night, II
baby foxes have been born at the farm
during the last month in three litters
and two more litters are expected to
be whelped within the coming week.
Last fall five pair of imported sill
yer foxes were brought in from Min
nesota by this new industry of Hur-
on's and the returns in increase thus
far have been most gratifying.
c. c. Fisher, who has management
of the work on the farm, has been
most busy the past few weeks getting
the farm i'm shape for the improve
ments contemplated this summer. The
increase in the foxes will necessitate
many new pens, and the entire farm
is being heavily fenced.
Between now and breeding time,
the farm will also add skunks to its
company will start with ten pair of
the White Star skunks, one of the
very highest grades of these little an
imals, and as they multiply very rap
idly and are very easily raised, the
farm expects to make quite a bust
ness Of them. The removal Of the
glands which have made the skunk
famous for its odor, is an easy task
when the young are but a few days
old, and the result is to make the
animals ideal pets, as they a neither
bite nor scratch to any extent. They
live on anything, and the pelts from
the white star variety are quite ex-
pens;ve.
Altogether the Silver Fox farm is
making rapid strides in it's progress.
and those who have been following it
most closely predict that there is a
great future ahead of it with con
siderable profit to the investors.
