Loses Eyesight Thru
Effects of MOOnshine

Leon Learn, eighteen-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. M. Learn of ST.
James, was stricken blind as the re-
suit of taking three drinks of "moon-
shine" liquor while attending a dance
at Butterfield Monday night Little
hope is held out for the recovery of
his sight by attending physicians.
In company with other young PEG :
pie, Leon was attending dance at
Butterfield last Monday evening. Some
time during the evening he was in
vited to take drink with some young
man who was attending the dance,
and did so, taking in all three drinks
during the evening. The liquor. was
of the "moonshine" variety and was
carried in a dark colored bottle, ac-
cording to the young mans statement
to his father.
Between one and two o'clock, in
company with Miss Ingrid Sonnesyn,
Leon came home, driving his Ford
coupe. Arriving in St. James he sug-
gested little drive out on the hard
surface road running to Madelia and
proceeded over that road. At point
about two miles east of this city he
was suddenly stricken blind and as
the darkness engulfed him, he drove
the car off the road, along high
steep grade and into the ditch, COM
ing to stop at the bank on the south
side of the ditch when the front wheels
of the coupe were broken off. For
tunately, and as if by miracle, the
car remained upright as it was
driven along the steep grade.
Miss Sonnesyn hailed the first car
approaching which changed to be DR..

The Delicious

In Madison County, Iowa, stands a
monument which is said to be the only
one ever erected to a tree 1t tells
all who may read its inscription the
story of the. Delicious" apple, the
parent tree of which is still standing
and bearing after fifty years of fruit
fulness. The story is a romance of
pomology, dating back into the sos
of last century, when a new settler in
Iowa, Jesse Hiatt, planted an orchard
In the spring of 1872 Hiatt found,
however, that a Bellfower seeding in
the orchard had persisted, but that
from its root had sprung a shoot,
which showed an unusual ruggedness
and began to climb upward with sur
prising rapidity A few years later
the tree reached the producing point
and by early fall was covered with
fine apples of an aroma and flavor
such as the owner had never found
elsewhere. For some fifteen years
thereafter the new tree bore annually,
and, although the crop increased from
season TO season, its owner was unable
to find way to make its fruit known
beyond his Immediate neighborhood.
Then he sent samples of the apples to
an exhibition in Missouri, the mama
ger of which was practical nursery
man, who was attracted by them. The
tag had become mislaid, however, and
it was not until the next year, when
Hiatt sent another consignment, that
the nurseyman could identify their
owner and make arrangements for
taking some scions from the tree. To-
day the apple is known and grown in
every quarter of the globe where the

More Sleep in Winter

In winter we need an hours more
sleep than in summer, says the medical
editor of the London Times. He fig
ures it out this way:
The two agencies that restore our
exhausted bodies are sleep and sun
light. When the seasons change and
we have an hour less of daylight, we
need an extra hour of sleep to make
up for the loss.
No two bodies are exactly alike,
however, and the sleep that will re-
cuperate one may be too much or not
enough for another. The wise plan
is to let nature guide US. She tells us
when we need sleep-makes us drowsy.
When we get up in the morning "all
tagged out" we are cheating nature
and injuring our health.

Explanations!

Some wiseacres who have attended
Coue's demonstrations of the power
OF the subconscious mind over matter
and the wonderful cures effected
through his magic" words declare
that they believe it is 'just hypno-
tism." Exactly! Coue said, in
answer to one questioner, that he could
not explain how electricity worked
and caused light, yet there was the
light. Suppose it is "all hypnotism"
then what about it? 1t works, no
matter what is its nomenclature. Ii
we are to refuse to accept any truth
which we cannot explain, let's begin
with gravitation. 1t is well to start
at the ground and work up. After
we explain how the apple fell in
Newton's sight, then let us tell how
the universe keeps on swinging
through infinite space. This everlast-
ing explaining is what gets us now

CIRCULAR MODE is FAVORED

The circular mode which recently

However, restraint marks its use

or down at the wrist Is one OF the
simplest forms, and ever this is chang

be able to insert themselves into the
straight, tight frocks, and all others
must, perforce, wear some other kind.

REACTION FOLLOWS.
 WEEK IF ADVANCES )|N COTTON MARKET
Heavy Liquidation From Long Sides Responsible For
 ! Moderate Declines

NEW ORLEANS. April 29.-Unfa- ivorable weather in the belt caused Ia gradually higher trend to values {dtring the greater part of last week lin the cotton market, but just on he close a great deal of liquidation from the long side was responsible for moderate reactions.
 N Lowest prices were made on the opening session, when the trading months were s to 19 points unde" the close of the preceding week, and from this there was rise to levels 130 to 167 points over the preceding weeks final prices. The net results were gains of 35 to 63 points. July, after selling off to 26.06 cents a pound, rose to 2S.S7c and finally ment prices gained 75 points on mid- ding, which closed at 2Sc pound, against 17c on the close of this week last year.
 The main complaint from the n- terior was that too much rain was interfering with the planting of the crop. Texas sent in the most unfa- vorable account and the rainfall there was heavy enough to cause floods and overfiows and some little washing out of cotton already plant ed. Some southern counties of the state reported that planting had been done as many as three times without good stands being secured In some sections of the central belt more favorable accounts were heard and the eastern belt also reported favorable spots, but on the whole the crop was considered late. Much complaint of shortage of labor came from the Atlantics and also from the north central portion of the belt.
 The week brought good demand for spot cotton. much of it appar- ently being to fill commitments ma turing in May. Liverpool bought limited quantities of spots here and asked for further firm offers. Japan was found Buying in this market late in the week, but at all times bwsiness in the spot department was pestricted by the small offerings. Glarket letters on the weekend pre- ldicted that the scarcity of supplies would become more pronounced in the near future. The question of moisture in the belt will be of the highest importance this week and further rainfall would be considered very detrimental. Warm and dry weather would be considered highly favorable. Beginning Monday the contract market will open at S o'clock. New Orleans time, and close at 1 o'clock, except on Saturdays. when it will close at 10 o'clock, this being in conformity to the daylight saving program.

BILL WOULD LIMIT F0RE |GN LANGUAGE
 SCHOOLS SYSTEM
Proposed Law Is Aimed At Japanese Institutions In
 Hawaiian Islands

HONOLULU, April z9.-The teach ing of Oriental languages in the public schools of Hawaii and the Pa ciflc coast states, as means of bringing about better relations be- tween the United States and Japan, was advocated here by Dr. A. l.. Dean. president of the University of Hawaii, at public hearing held by the territorial house educational committee on alien language school measures which have been introduced into the legislature.
 One of the bills would carry into effect the recent order of the board of education providing that no child may attend an alien language school until after he completes successfully the first two grades in an American public school The other bill inn poses an annual tax of s1 upon all pupils of alien language schools, the proceeds to be used in defrayine the expenses of inspections of such schools by the territory.
 Dr. Deans statement came after the presentation of argument against both bills by Joseph Lightfoot. for mer deputy territorial attorney gen eral. and Judge S. c. Huber, former United States district attorney, who are acting IS counsel for the Japa nese language schools.
 Would Eliminate Schools.
 Ligh.fcot. in his argument. desig- mated as Jap baiters" the members of an inter-racial committee who had been appointed to outline courses of study and textbooks for alien schools. pr. Dean. chairman of the inter-racial committee an swered this by declaring that 13 members of the joint committee were Japanese.
 Lightfoot reviewed the history of Japanese schools In Hawaii, saying that there are now 14l of these in stitutions in the territory. attended by 23,O00 pupils. He said that the bills aimed at the elimination of the schools and not their regulation. He pleaded against what he charac terized as "class legislation" and said that enactment of the bills would deprive the Japanese of treaty and constitutional rights.
 Judge Huber urged a liberal atti- tude toward the language schools. pointing out that litigation is pend ing before the supreme courts of the United States and of the terri tory, testing the rights of such schools. He asked that legislative action be delayed until these eases were settled.
 pr. Dean said that the problem was not question of teaching Jap anese children to speak the language of their parents. but of teaching Americans to speak Japanese. since practically all the pupils at the alien schools are American citizens. He said that the inter-racial com mittee did not aim at the abolition of the schools, but it did desire tC- limit their activities, and that undfr the new program all of the work'of the schools could be done in six years instead of eight.
 He declared that one of the strongest arguments against- the alien schools was that fev'>T.,iiSrer could master two laup us gsss sl the same time, and thas slil4se the ehn- dren. born of alien parents were to be future citizens ofS the United States. it was desirsblr nal thev be able to use effectiv9fy the uedlpm Of expression of itlhe1 s9gAsry He by spirit of "JaYbaN ag
