A general reduction In cotton

The cotton crop has entered the
critical period. The kind Of weather

crop.
At this writing the weather Is
generally favorable. though during
the past week there has been con-
siderable complaint from Mississippi
and certain parts Of Texas of dry
weather. In fact, fear OF deteriora-
ton as a result Of high temperature
and lack Of moisture was a sustain
ing factor in the market some Of the
time. When reports of showers
reached the markets selling was in
order. This tends to show that the
weather has become the dominant
influence in the making of prices.
Acreage Reduction Shown
The official report on acreage
came out during the past week.
This showed that there were $780,
90 acres less cotton in cultivation
on July l than a year ago. The
crop reporting board. in its first an
nouncement of acreage, placed the
area of cotton in cultivation at as
8i5, 1000. This Is a reduction Of 2.7

KAN INDIANS REVIVE TRIBAL DANCE
 AFTER MANY YEARS

Encouraged by the reception given the ceremonial performance held at Saxman, the Cape Fox In- dian tribe is to stage another cus- tom dance and pageant in the Red Mems hall, says the Ketchikan Chronicle. The presentation is to include several of the dances and songs given at the last perform ance but will embody many others that were not given.
 These ceremonial dances as trf- bal events were abandoned in 1917, and until that time it was a rare event for white man to view the performances. Now, however, the members of the tribe believe it wise to perpetuate ancient cus- toms. Those taking part will wear the original costumes, and most of the members of the cast are na- tives who Oh many occasions have taken part in just such songs and dances between tribes in accord ance with the Indian traditions N The performance will be made particularly interesting with inter- pretations of dances and songs in English. Various native legends bearing on the purpose of the dances also will be told
 It has been found that there is considerable interest among Ket- chikan residents in the ancient tribal customs, and those in charge believe that sufficient support will be obtained to make the perform ance worth while.
 It has been interesting to note that older members of the tribe were very reluctant to consent to giving these songs and dances be- fore white persons. Even now
 they refuse to have their pictures taken in the ceremonial costumes Dances planned are the Memor- ial, the Stick Indian, the B. C Tsimpsean, the Bow and Arrow the Peace and the Yake-ho-tee. I Charles w. Brown will be an lnouncer and interpreter. Charles Johnson, an Indian chief, will take part in many of the dances as song Header and dancer. tStroller Weekly
