'TIs a Dinky Little World.
A oachier in a downtown bank.
With a knack for manipulation,
Began to manipulate the funds.
Hence his chase through all crea
tion;
They caught him going up the Nile
On a most palatial steamer,
And they brought him back to old U. S.
On a serious misdemeanor.
His pride was wilted, likewise his pile;
He’d not much left but gall,
And he thought, thought, thought,
As they brought him back,
’TIs a dinky little world, after all!
A man with a wife and family of kids.
Found his ’finity in another.
He left them all and went with her
To this place and the other;
They settled down in Mexico,
In a cot of white adobe.
And he fondly thought that in old
U. S.
He had left his domestic load;
A tourist, idly rambling about.
Espied them in their kraal,
And he thought, thought, thought,
As they brought him back,
’Tis a dinky little world, after all.
There s several parties m tne swim
That’ll catch It on the hip;
There’s going to be some tumbles
From the Presidential ship.
The Dem’s and Reb’s and Soc’s and
Prob’s
Have greatest expectations.
And soon there’ll be a looking up
Of various reputations;
The losing ones in old U. S.
When recovered from their fall,
Will think, think, think,
As their minds come hack,
'Tis a dinky little world, atfer all.
The Price of Cotton.
Even though weather conditions con
tinue favorable to the cotton crop
during the balance of the season, and
even though a bumper yield is assured,
there is no .certainty that actual
cotton will be available in any consid
erable quantities at 8c or less within
the next four months. Planters did
not secure as much for last year’s
crop as they hoped, yet the majority
are well satisfied with their profits, in
other words they regard the season’s
campaign for higher prices as having
been successful; anything above 10c
for cotton spells success in the eyes
for most growers. The Farmers’ Un
ion with its membership of more than
one million has been steadily increas
ing its warehouses for storing the
crop, and has improved and expanded
its plan for financing the season’s
yield in a proportionate manner. What
ever may have been the actual measure
of success of last year’s holding move
ment, it is generally admitted that it
was eminently successful in prevent
ing the flooding of the market with
cotton at low prices early in the? sea
son. Because of greater experience
and capacity it may be expected to
prove much more successful during
the next four to six months than it
was during the same period last sea
son. The manufacturer or spinner
who contracts to deliver yarn or goods
during the next six months at prices
on a basis of 8c cotton is accepting a
mighty big risk. Buyers of yarns
and goods who are not now eager to
purchase on such a basis will do well
to make a careful study of the future
of .he market from the standpoint
mentioned.—Textile Manufacturers’
Journal.
i no aDOve will prove mieresuing
rpaci'ng, coming as it does from a well
known trade journal published in the
interest of manufacturers of cotton and
woolen fabrics. The editor of the Jour
nal, it will be seen, is not expecting
cotton to reach a very low level unless
farmers become demoralized and throw
thei1- cotton on the market as soon as
gathered and ginned. Now that farm
ers are learning the lesson that it is
best to market their cotton slowly and
as needed by the manufacturer, there
is little likelihood that cotton will ever
again reach the 5c and 6c mark. The
manufacturer would rather buy his cot
ton from the producer—buying as he
needs it the year round—than from
the speculator. If farmers will hold
part of their cotton and sell it as
needed it stands to reason that one
year with another a better price can
be secured than if marketed as soon
as gathered.—Texas Stockman and
Parmer.
When you take the hen and chicks
from the nest grease the hen lghtly
under the wings and along the breast
with a little fresh lard (no salt). This
will assist in getting rid of any mites
or lice on the little ones. Use no
grease about the nests before they are
hatched.
Scatter the feed for the chickens un
der the plum trees if you have such.
In their feeding they will then gather
up many insect pests which work up
on the fruit and trees. Digging about
the trees will also cause them to hunt
for worms about the roots. Shaking
the tree at feeding time will dislodge
many an Insect and diseased plum
which the hens will destroy.

THE B SHARP CLUB. !
The B Sharp Club held its first

this year are: Miss Linnie Kyle 1
President, Mr. Maynard Wherry, 1

Sec. and Treas. and Mrs. Henry S. '
Taylor, Director. 1
The club opened with roll call *
each pupil responding with a
musical quotation. Next was a
Duette by Mrs. Shearer-i
which was rendered with much £
grace and expression. A short £
paper was read by Director, ex- t
horting each pupil to have higher £
musical ideals to be more intent (
on their daily practice and to re- 1
member always these three words, 1
pride, ambition and determination. £
A number of piano solos were £
given each pupil acquiting them- i
selves creditably. Mr. Maynard j \
Wherry was the fortunate winner i
of the reward card. The prospects 1
for a successful year in the music c
department were never brighter; t
the enrollment for the first month 1
was 26. An interesting pro- '
gramme will be had at the next i
meeting Dec. the 4th. Some fea- t
tures of which will be an original (
composition on the life of Lizt; (
the origin of the piano; a begin- \
ners contest and question match. £

of so mauy of our friends, and we ^

Every time the home of your
leighbor is opened a little do you
train your neck to peep, and then
fterward straiu your tongue in
alking about it? Do you ever
top to think that some day a trag
dy may take up its abode in your
iome? Can’t you get it into your
lead that some day the tongue of
lander may cut you like a sharp
word and the whispers of your
leighbors be as vinegar on your
rounds? Misfortune and disgrace
aay have overtaken your neighbor,
iut it does not become you to get
m the housetops and shout it out
o the world. You will not
>e called upon to pay for nor ans
wer for any of the sins of your
leighbor. You have all you can
end to to pay for your own indis
retions. Some day one near and
lear to you may fall, the prison
rails may open to a sou, or the
carlet letter of eternity blight a
laughter. When a home i s
u mourning over a tragedy the
test thing you can do is to keep
your mouth shut unless you can
say something that will come as a
rift iu the clouds. Then again,
you know you may be no better
than your neighbor. The only
difference is that your neighbor
j was caught and you, up-to-date
have kept the sunlight away. Be
; charitable, my friend, for you
know not the day nor the hour
! when the blight will appear in
your sacred circle.
