his eldest son along about 1901 or some
equally ancient date. That son was
known as Edward the BLACK Prince"
There never has been a Prince Of
Wales quite as popular as the present
one, although his grandfather, after
wards Edward VII, set him a pretty
fast pace along that line.
Often a Prince Of Wales achieves un-
consciously a great diplomatic triumph.
The prince who became Edward VII
had more to do with bringing France
and Great Britain into close accord
than any other person or thing.
The present prince, by his charming
personality and boyish frankness, is
doing more to have Americans think
we'll Of England than all of his long
line OF predecessors put together.
When he becomes king, America will
feel almost a kinship for the new
monarch.

From The foutn'S 5 companion.
The city of TelAviv, which in 1909
was founded by group of Russian
Jews on a sandy waste near Jaffa, in
Palestine, is now a thriving place of
more than $4,000 inhabitants. OF its
1900 buildings nearly a third were
built last year. Most of the resi-
dences are two-family concrete
houses of the kind common in Amer
lea. The city has a modern water
supply, an electric light plant and a
sewer system. Its population is en-
tirely Jewish.

WALES SETS PACE

BY ROBERT T. SMALL.

NEW YORK, September 5.-For
real unadulterated strenuosity this
job OF being Prince of Wales and heir
to the British throne has about every
thing else backed completely off the
map. AS an exponent of the strenu-
Gus life, young Edward Albert makes
the late Col. Roosevelt look like a
member of a Saturday afternoon sew
ing circle. OF course, the prince is a
much younger man than was Col.
Roosevelt when the latter launched
upon the strenuous part of his career.

AUGUST BUSINESS
 N STEEL GAINS
Pig Iron Demand Active With
 Good Ordesr Pending

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Reports on the steel situation, including an in- crease of 1o2,5O5 tons in thrilled orders by the steel corporation and an in- crease of 36 per cent in the ingot pro- duction over July, have revealed a larger business in August than the trade in general realized. There has been no further expansion this week, however, and 1t is evident that the easier tone lately has served to under mine confidence and check forward busvness. Demand for pig iron was more active and with some good busi- ness the market was considered to be in a very sound condition.
 Copper has shown a somewhat stead fer tone owing to reports of a better demand abroad and some increase of inquiry for domestic consumption. Only a moderate volume of business has been reported, however, and while most producers are holding electrolytic for 132sc at the end of the week buy CTS were said to be showing compara- lively little interest.

 Questions And Answers 0. In Michigan we grew lot of Canada field peas for hay and fertiliz- | ing. Could we succeed with this plant in Alabama? U. T., Thorsby, Ala.
 A. You certainly could. Canada peas are not grown to any extent in the south but when planted in the fall either alone or in combination with success and serve the same purpose as cowpeas do in summer.
 I want to plant several varieties of narcissus but only those that pro- duce more than one bloom to the stem. What sorts do l ask for? M. D. F., Hamilton, Ala.
 A. Buy the varieties listed as poly anthus narcissus or bunch lowered, such, for example, as paper white. There are a number of varieties of diff | ferent colors in this species.
 Q. .Iy chrysanthemums are bothered with little black insect that seems to suck the life out of the plants and the buds become hard and don't open. What can be done for them? Mrs. s., Vina, Ala.
 A. The insect is a black aphis or louse, a common enemy to chrysan- themums. The bast remedy is to wash or spray the plants with a strong tobacco water and soap. Dusting with tobacco dust is splendid. Teaspoonful nicotine sulphate to q gallon of soap seeds and sprayed on the plant is still better.
 c. Can we plant stock beets this month or as soon as it rains and ex- pect winter crop? s. C., Fayette, Ala.
 A. think they would be safe from ordinary winters. The plant, however, is a slow grower and hard to get started in hot dry weather and general ly does best in this section when planted in spring. could not recom- mend its planting this late. Q. want the old lashioned butter cups but when buy them, they turn out to be something else. What is the trouble and could you help us out in the matter? Mrs. B., Athens, Ala. A. The common name buttercup, like many others, often refers to entirely | different plants depending on the sec tion of country. The true yellow but tercup that generally flowers in early spring will be found listed in cata- logs under the name of Ranunculus. Would suggest that you try these. Q. Do you recommend the English blue grass as desirable for lawns in this section? We cannot succeed with the Kentucky? H. S., Meridian, Miss.
 A. English blue grass, although a little coarse, does make a good lawn but other more quick growing grasses such as red top and the rye grasses should be sown with it because it re- quires a year or more to thoroughly establish English blue grass but it is everlasting when once started. Q. Could we use COW manure where sheep manure is recommended and secure just as good results? A. o., Albany, Ala.
 A. While COW manure is not so con- centrated in plant food as sheep man ure and requires more liberal applica- tiOn, it is just as good and very often better. Only well rotten and old nation al should be used to avoid weeds and grass seed generally present in most animal manures.

A. It might be better but certain ly not necessary. It is reasonably safe to SOW grass seed in very dry soil be- cause they will often lie dormant for long periods and then come up to a good stand when weather conditions become favorable. Because grass seed often fail to come up promptly does not always mean that the seed were no good.
 O. I notice beardless barly highly recommended for early spring hay. Are you acquainted with it and is it actually free from boards? T. E., Albertville, Ala.
 A. It is very desirable for the pur- pose and q success in this section when planted in the fall months. Most beard less barely will often contain plants that produce some beard but the per cent is so small as not to be detrimen- tai.
 Q. In making a new lawn that is to

results are possible by cutting the seed into two or three pieces. You may plant any time.
 Q. Is it time to plant the Chinese cabbage and does this plant have the same odor in cooking as common cab bage? Mrs. F., Montevallo, Ala.
 A. Fall is perhaps the best time to plant Chinese cabbage. It is one of the most delicious of all vegetables served either raw like lettuce or boiled. It has no odor of the cabbage.
 Q. How can I get lettuce seed to come up at this time of the year? Mrs. T. L., Columbus, Miss
 A. Lettuce is very difficult when the weather is hot. If sown on beds that can be kept cool and moist by shading results are satisfactory. If you roll the seed up in damp cloth and place in refrigerator they soon sprout and may then be planted in moist soil.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 1S.-Cotton valsue averaged a few points higher today than the previous finals and closed a shade better. Fluctuations covered a range of only 32 points but volume of trading was pretty good for half day. Opinions were mixed as to the probable effect of recent rains on the Texas crop but reports of steady rains from 10 to 36 hours at many points and of 8 to S inches at other Texas report shows a higher basis and good authorities say some increase in demand and smaller offerings as a re- suit of the weather. Rumors are cur rent that some of the large operators have covered their shorts and there are signs that sentiment is shifting to the buying side on theory that decline has gone further than present crop out look justifies.-Fenner Beane to Kahn & Virgin.

COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Although the sentiment here continues bearish, there Is no question that the market has dis played a decidedly better tone in the last day or so than heretofore. Even in face of the selling that took place recently, the market showed a certain | amount of rallying power that was lacking heretofore. The reason for this l was because the trade have a good number of orders in the market at linn its and the contracts are taken on each decline which puts the market in a very healthy technical position. This morn ing the market rallied in view of the 1 heavy rains in Texas as some parts showed over an inch. These rains at first were taken as beneficial and in all probability they are in a great many localities but we unquestionably believe that heavy rains will damage the grade of cotton and also the continuation of the rains will check the early movement that was looked forward to. There was scattered buying throughout the morning on weekend evening up with also a moderate amount of trade buy ing. Although the speculative element is extremely bearish, the majority of the trade also, we believe that factors are at work which will lay a founda- tion for higher prices later on. Liver pool futures are due Monday, October, 1Z.ozOI OeCeHUeT1 4S.tOu.-11uUUdTu Bros. & Co.
 NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 13.-The con- tinuance of rains over the west belt, es- pecially Texas, heavy in most locaH ties, served to sustain market today in the fact of easier cables than due and bearish estimate as to August con- sumption in the United States, 316,000, bales of lint cotton against 492,000 for August of last year, on which the cen sus bureau will likely make a report next week, perhaps on Monday. More rains is indicated for Texas and rains will probably move on the Mississippi valley and south Atlantic states over Sunday but better weather is likely for next week, especially for west belt. The depression in the domestic textile situation and the civil war in China will probably delay revival in domestic and oriental business, but Manchester and European trade reports are encourag- ing. Meanwhile, the trade has under consideration of the probability of the next government crop forecast report maintaining the recent promise fro a yield of about 12,7S7,000 bales. exclu-
