ONCE UPON AUGUST 16

When Elias Haskell Derby was born
in Salem, Aug. 16, 1879, Quakers were
still being savagely prosecuted in
Massachusetts Bay colony. Women
protesting the faith of Fox were
whipped, naked, through the streets.
Men were put to death like Salem
witches for being Quakers. Ship cap
tains were punished for landing mem
bers of the Society of Friends within
the provinces confines.
Derby continued to be a Quaker, to
remain in Massachusetts, and to build
up there the biggest fortune on this
continent in the 18th century.
The fortune came from profits pour
ing in from the trade routes he open
ed to China and India. He was call
ed 1.-THE father of American COM
merce with the East" and it is said
he did more toward the improvement
of the shipping and the extending of
the commerce of this country than
has been done by any other man."
1t could be said, too, that he started
this nation off as being world pow
err Derby established shipyards, stu
died naval architecture, built vessels
superior in size and speed to those
of other nations, and enabled the U.
S. to have the naval vessels that gave
Britain its first and last notable de-
feats on the high seas. He loaned the
government a large proportion of the
supplies for the army, furnished trans
ports for the i, troopsl contributed
money for the equipment of the navy.
His impress upon American history
was enormous, yet you look in vain
for his name in school history texts.

Cotton Production
Reaches New High
In Coolidge Area

New land put into cotton produc-
ton in the San Carlos Valley in
1887 is reflected in the receipts of
cotton at the local gins SO far this
season, as compared with 1886 total
receipts at the local gins. Accord
ing to information gained from the
local gins, the total number of bales
ginned here from the 1886 crop was
0,400 bales. Up to December goth
the five gins in Coolidge turned out
a total of $4,000 bales, and it is
estimated that 5000 bales more viii
be ginned here before the crop is
all in. This would make a total pro-
duction in the Coolidge area for
1897, of $4,000 bales as against a
total 1886 production in the same
area of 20,400 bales. More than
half the cotton produced in Pinal
county is ginned in Coolidge. The
receipts at the local gins up to De-
cembar goth are as follows:

 New York, Oct. 7.-(uP)-Cliff (NGickey Mouse) Melton, the North Carolina hillbilly with the big ears and Q grudge against anyone wear ing the uniform of the New York Yankees, swings his long leftaarm today in an effort to put the New New York Giants back on an even footing with the American league champions in the 1887 World Series.
 Melton, who in his first year in the major leagues got 20 victories against 9 defeats, never saw Q series game until yesterday, when the Tanks trampled over his Giants, S-l.

 That was the friendly atmosphere ct Yankee Stadium today as the teams went back for the second game of Q series that started with o rout for Manager Bill Terry'a Na- tional league champions.

 Cliff Melton will be in for plenty of jockeying today from the Yankee bench in regard to his ears (. one of the best cracks about the ears was heard in the press section yesterday .. to wit: The Yankees are going to protest because Cliffs ears extend out so far they block out the batters' view of the Giant outfielders =.
