GLAWSON HAS FINE
CROP OF CABBAGE
4,500 Heads Averaging 4 Pounds
and About s Inches in Diane
ter on Less Than Acre

James L. Glawson, Myrtle Springs
farmer and famous Sumter county
cue artist, is harvesting his cabbage
crop which is one of the finest ever
produced in this section of the state,
and promises excellent financial
yield, he says.
Less than an acre was devoted to
the production of cabbages this year
by Mr. Glawson, who set out total
of 5000 head. Of these he lost APP
proximately 500 head, due to unsea-
sonable weather conditions, but the
others have all matured we'll. He is
now cutting the older heads, which
find a ready market among Americas
merchants, he asserted today.
He does not plan to make any
shipments, he says, due to the fact
that existing cold storage facilities
here and the selling season approx
mately twenty days, will enable him
to dispose of the entire yield To-
cally.
Mr.. Glawson set out his cabbage
crop beginning January II, and US
ing number of negro women for
the work. The crop was planted
over two-thirds of an acre of sandy
soil, poorly adapted to the produc-
ton of a commercial crcp and the
plants were all we'll fortified. He
used the Succession variety for
planting and secured the plants from
a South Carolina dealer The cab

it. And she did.
Not until she had "shooed" him
out and sent him downstairs, did she
give way to those emotions she had
been fighting this long time; then
her face grew white an tragic. ooh

What have I done to you?"
Tom Parker had raised his girl
like a son, and like son she took
hold of things, but with a daughters
tact. Her intuition told her much
but she did not arrive at full APP
probation of the family affairs until
she had the house running and went
down to nut his office in order Then
indeed, she learned at what cost had
come those four expensive years IN
the East, and the truth left her limp.
Tom was mortgaged to the hilt,
his royalties were pledged; a crow
could not pick a living out of his in
surance business.
Something had to be done, and
quickly: new hand was needed to
mend the family fortunes. Barbara
determined to lend that hand.
After a fortnight of careful con-
sideration she decided to enter the
oil business and deal in leases.

SHORTAGE Of COTTON
CAUSES MILLS To STOP
Remaining Supply Now So Short
Mills Using American Cotton
Must Curtaii Operations

NEW YORK, May 22.-J W. Jay
& Co., cotton merchants in re-
view of the cotton market and cotton
consuming conditions in mill centers
today announced that eight Fall Riv-
er mills stopped work two days last
week, re-opening Monday Continu-
ing, the review declares that the re
manning supply Of cotton is SO small
that the mills of the world using
American Cotton will have to curtall
their operations to an average OF
about 1our days per week for the
next four months. Last year about
this time, Fall River mills were
closed on account Of strikes and
IoGkouts. Every effort was being
made to reduce expenses. Unem-
ployment existed. Foreign affairs
were as unsettled as now and yet
consumption Of American cotton, ac-
cording to Hester, was AZ, 1904, 900
Tor the year
This season for nine months, end
ing April goth, consumption was on
a basis Of 13,500,000 bales. Septem-
Der 18th is about the earliest that
new cotton can reach the mills. AS
sumo that consumption is cut to a
yearly basis Of 12,000,000 bales for
the next four months and mills will
require 100000 plus stock enroute
to mills, 100000 total of G,000,-
coo bales. To meet this need, on
NAV first, American and foreign
mills had about $4,000 plus the
visible 1,815,000, plus uncounted
towns and on farms 100000, a total
of 5,0G5,000. Thus by curtailing
from 1850, 600 bale to a 12,000,
600 bale basis, mills will still need
more cotton than exists
Nowhere do we hear the assertion
that consumption viii be on a yearly
basis below 100000 bales, ard

ing the next four month to make the
supply last.

eve strongly advise our Southern
friends to refrain from pressing
their cotton for sale. Every bale
will be badly needed before new
cotton will be ready for market. Our
advices are that the Cooperative AS
sociations have withdrawn their cot
ton from sale.

CHAPTER "
Ia Ranper Town

year before this story opens the
town of Ranger, Texas consisted of
a weatherbeaten rundown railroad
station, a blacksmith shop, and a
hitch4ng rail, town enough incident
ally, for the limited number of peo-
pie and the scanty amount of mer-
chandise that passed through. The
few farms and ranches round about
were scattered widely, and life there
on was grim struggle against
heartbreak, by reason of the gaunt,
gray, ever-present spectel Of the
drought
Biologists had claimed for some
time that there must be coal in these
north Texas counties, a contention
perhaps based upon a comfortable
belief in the law Of compensation.

Bod Parker Comes Home.


Old Tom Parker was a type.
He was one of a small class of
men at one time common to the
west, but now rapidly disappearing.
/ A turbulent lifetime spent in ad-
ministering the law in the lawless
region had stamped him with the
characteristics Of a frontier officer
! Among the late corners to Wichita
| Falls, where he lived, Tom was
known as quiet-spol.en, emoti IL
less old fellow with Al honorable
past. 1t was not generally known
that he was kind and indulgent
father and had a daughter whom lie
worshiped with blind adulation.
This ignorance was not strange, for
Miss Barbara Parker had been away
at college for four years now, and
during that tiCIc she had net once
returned home.
There was a perfectly good reason
for this protractad separation of
father and daughter: since Old Tom
was no longer on pay. i. took ail<he
could rake and scrdpe to meet her
bills, and railroad fares are high.
Tom carried ON a nominal fre-in-
surance business, but as a matter of
fact the tiny two-roomed frame
structure that bore his painted sign
was nothing more or less thar a loaf
ing place for him and his rheumatic
friends.
The time came, however, when he
was forced to shed his habit of sloth-
fulness as completely as snake
sheds its skin and that was during
the week before "Bob's" arrival.
Then, indeed, he swept and he dust
ed, ne mopped and he polished, he
rubbed and he scrubbed, trying his
best to put the house in order.
On the day set for Bob's arrival
Tom had his dishes washed and his
things in order long ere the town
was awake Then he went down to
the office and waited-with the
jumps. Repeatedly he consulted his
heavy gold watch, engraved: With

DIPLOMACY

mo, I would rather not employ her, a certain business
man remarked to his general manager. "She may be an excel
lent stenographer and as clever as you say, but I hear she is
hard to get along with. One of that kind of people who makes
enemies wherever she goes because she prides herself on speak
ing exactly what is on her mind. l don't want any man or
woman employed in this business who can use tact and d.
plomacy. We want people here who make friends, not
enemies"
That is what every employer wants-a diplomatic en-
ployee. Not alone employers but families, friends and ac-
quaintances, all prefer dealing with a diplomatic person.
To be diplomatic one does not need to be weak-minded,
morally spineless or a i%elly-fsh type. Not a bit of it. The
diplomatic person has just as decided opinions and convic-
tons as anyone else, but she knows when and how to express
them. There are times when it is wise to keep ones opinions
to ones self. The diplomatic person knows this, and acts ac-
cordingly. She doesn't thrust her ideas down ones throat,
take the opposite side of every argument, assert her opinions
as the centre Of the universe, or tell peopleal the disagree
able things she knows about them, ''for their own good
Granted they may all be true, but disagreeable truths express
ed unnecessarily and unsolicited seldom do any good and often
make for ones self many enemies. There is a proper time for
such things. Use common sense and good judgment IN your
dealings with others.
Diplomacy is hard to define. 1t is a combination OF mega
tive qualities rather than any one virtue. Better than that 1t
is the flavor of all the virtues. Acquire it If you would be
successful both in your home and business life.

"A hankoyer from a vacation isn't

too much. Porch sitters who don't

They have a feeling of lassitude half

vantages, but it Is making walking
almost obsolete.

equipment that is put to use.

A woman beautiful Of face and
figure and spirit. was Aimee du Per-
rem, mother of that great French
artist of the soil, Jean Francois
Millet. whose painting THE Angelus'
Is known the world over. Much of
his work was inspired by his mother
whom as a child he watched, when
she worked in the fields of his
fathers farm.
Aimee de Perron was several de-
'grees above her husband in the So
cial scale. Her family. which traced
back to the old yeomanry, was of
fairly high station, and had at one
time been very wealthy. She was
a girl of great charm, beautiful to
look at, simple, and devout. She
loved her husband deeply and aror-
ed her son Francois.
1t was from her that the boy in
herited his love of beauty. She was
always we'll dressed, the biographers
say. and loved bright colors and gay
things. She had no talent for draw
ing or painting but seemed to have
