All baled cotton marketed this!
.ear must be standard size, that!
is 27x55 inches, or else each bale
will be docked $1.00. This is
according to an agreement reach d
between the Amnrican Buver'
Association and the Steamsnip
Association. This deduction has
heretofore been made in the p ice
paid for cotton but now it com- s
directly off the bale itself. This
method will be strictlv adhered to
this year, as it is the intention to
secure uniform size of all baled
cotton in the United States. Gin
oers should see that their packing
boxes conform to this measure
ment.

Kinard Howard Garrison, Tom
Jones and John Hammond of El

may be that the number will be
increased several more before it
comes off.

Dawn.
A small house* had been erected
near the Crystal Lake. It had two
rooms and kitchen, that was all; hut
it had been pleasantly and well fur
nished with everything a lone woman
might want. When Napoleon assisted
Rositta from the aerodromone he led
her into the pleasant liwing room She
followed him olvdiontly, as if in a
trance, seating herself in the chair
indicated without a word.
“This is your future Imme, Rositta,"
he said, simply.
She did not reply, but. sat looking
out the window, at the clear lake and
the steep mountain sides that over
shadowed the little valley forbidding
!v. A strange fire shone in her eyes.
She stood up slowly and cautiously
and steitped to the window. She
looked out at the beautiful green fo
liage and the blooming flowers for a
tong time, and Napoleon did not dis
turb her. Her actions commanded re
spect.
A smile appeared on her face, a
smile that reminded Napoleon of his
own mother; it expressed mother
love, the most holy of all.
“See—see how green the grass is!
How blue the sky is! How mild the
air, and the water of the Lago di Mag
giore is as smooth as a mirror.’’ She
beckoned to Napoleon. "Just look at
that sweet little girl, see how she runs
on the shore—she is after a butter
fly. Don't you see her, man! Don’t
you see lier?" She gasped these last
words hoarsely and grasped Napole
on's arm. A nameless terror had his
noble soul in its grip.
“Answer me, do you see her?” She
began to sob. “Ah, don’t say no—say
you see her. She is my own little girl
She is good and not like her mother
She is good, I say! She must be good
to be happy.” She sobbed wildly
Turning to Napoleon she screamed;
"Speak! Oh, speak to me, or I ehal
go mad entirely.”
He took her hands In his and in i
mild voice said: "Rositta, be quiet;
you don't know what you are saying.’
She pushed him away. A wild look
came Into her eyes.
“You fiend! You have killed me
and I'll kill you now!” Her hand
slipped into her bosom and a short
gilt Venetian dagger glistened bright
ly. She darted forward blindly and
just missed Napoleon. Her dagger
rtrf-uek the wall fiercely. The blade
broke and fell with a sharp clink to
the floor. The next moment she faint
ed in Napoleon’s arms.
He carried her to the sofa and
brought fresh .water to revive her.
For two long hours her soul trav
eled through unknown regions where
there is neither time nor distance.
When she opened her eyes again she
was not the same youthful, vivacious
Rositta. She had become old.
She did not speak for a long time,
and Napoleon had the patience to
await her pleasure, notwithstanding
his neglected duties at Washington
At last she sat up and said weakly:
"My Son, Thou Shalt Be a Citizen of I
Happier and More Peaceful Age.’'
"Napoleon Edison, you have won. You
are strong; I am wak. The Queen
Rositta is dead. The only one I evei
truly loved, rny liitle daughter, if
dead, and now I can mourn I he reel

offered her hand. '‘Please go; therf

Should you need me, there is a spocia

but she found all .these eor.flicliuj

It was ten o'clock In the morning
'hen he sighted the capital, and C’on

The newspapers had already de

i 'ad reported to the proper authorities,

Loud shouts filled th° chamber when

dlent.

“The manufacturing of aerodro

pleasure in offering niv sixty aerodro
nicnes to the United Republics of

An enthusiastic "hurrah!” sounded

“The United Republics of America,
! is a monument to Kn ednm and Pence.
Tlmse two conditions create satisfac
tion. wealth and advancement of such
character that we are nearer the Al
mighty. who created man in his own
image.”
Napoleon was interrupted here by
an attendant, who t- pped a smell en
v lope into h's band. It was ad
dressed to him in bis mother's well
1 known bandwriting. He tore it open,
ran through the lines and ids tare b<
came radiant with happiness. lie
waved bis hand toward the waiting
audienae and without another word
quickly left the hall.
His erratic actions would have
caused uneasiness if his face had not
been so expressive of happiness. Hi
had hardly readied the exit when the
representatives cheered once again.
Ho waved his hand in acknowledg
ment and dash* d out.
He raced to the elevator that car
ried hint to his aerodromone and in
a few minutes ho was on the roof of 1
the Crystal Palace. He quickly de
scended to the apartment of Astra, his
wife.
His mother awaited him outside the
door; their embrace told much.
A minute later the great man, tin
hero, the patriot, the inventor, was
kneeling at the bedside of a smiling,
happy mother, murmuring broken
phrases of joy at her well-being.
At Hie mother’s request, with shak
ing hands in fear' of hurting him, he
raised the little, kicking boy and, as
he kissed his son, he said with wet
eyes;
"My son, thou shalt be a citizen of
a happ'er and more peaceful age.’’
* * * * •
Ttipre is little more to say.
That afternoon Napoleon looker]
through the mail that had accumulat
ed and found Count von Werdensi'dn's
message addressed to Astra. He car
ried it, together with other urgent let
tore, to her. She asked him to read it
to her.
"Your Ladyship; My secret service
agents have informed me that the
Princess Schomburg Lithow is plan
ning to overthrow the present peace

“I was reared a man of arms and I

"I am glad that a man like the

GAn/SE OF BORROWING
By EMILY JOHNSON.
When Platchett first moved into the
Pleasantville neighborhood tne men
all though him a remarkably 'likablo •
fellow. As many of the women sr
managed to get a look at the family's
furniture decided that the Plutohetts
did not possess any too much of this
world's goods These furnishings
were plain and somewhat scanty, ac
cord to Pleasantville standards. Blit
one and all voted the Platchetts desir
able neighbors.
Platchett made friends readily He
was usually smiling, was a great story
teller and never failed to laugh at any
story told In another tie was. in
deed. a good listener lie would sit
and listened as if his life depended
upon it. Mrs. Platrhett was in these
things a fair match for her husband,
and the little Platchetts seemed to
pattern their behavior similarly.
The first morning that Platchett
joined the other mal° members of the
suburban colony for the ride to town
in file smoker of the s, t6 lie searched
his pockets in full view of everybody
in the car Then, with a frank smile,
he accepted a match from Pendcby.
He held the match in his hand and
put thp other hand into his breast
pocket with full confidence only to
diaw It out again empty.
“I came away without a single
smoke!” lie declared. “What do you
think of that!”
Penderhv was sympathetic. He
pressed a cigar upon his new neigh
bor. a cigar of that variety known as
the Penderh.v choice, three costing ISO
cents. The borrower smiled again, lit
the cigar, and seemed well- pleased
And he did not bother to return the
smoke the next morning, nor on the
morning following.
Boon the Platchetts became ac
quainted with every family in Pleas
ant vllle, and then the game began in
earnest.
The front door Ivdl, or maybe the
side door boll, or even tlio Lack door
boll of some one of tlio houses In
the suburb would ring persistently.
A trip to the door would disclose one
of the little Hatchetts standing there
ready to deliver his or her message
as soon as the door was opened.
"Please, ma'am," was invariably fol
lowed by a request that the neighbor
lend mamma this or papa that or
both parents the other thing. It went
from bad to worse, and when the Plat
clietts bad been in the house a month
—lapsing just one day—the neighbors
decided to rebel.
The men were responsible for the
idea, even as they were responsible
for the meeting at which the plan
was formed.
Next day, after the male population
of Pleasantville had gone to ils vari
I ous offices, It was discovered that
Platchett had not caught ti S 15.
The women of the suburb knew later
iu the that he bad not gone to town
at all, but before they knew (bis the
plan had been pat In operation.
Farl.v In the morning an ancient,
woolly headed servitor of the Pen
derbvs arrived at the Platcheft resi
dence. tie carried a portable vacuum
cleaner, and he made pelitp explana
tion. "Marse Penderby done say yo’
is to use dis yah today," he said. ' an’
he sent it over fo's yo’ wouldn't have
to come after it."
Before 1’ncle Khan was out of sight
the half grown Turman boy came up
the steps wi‘h a talking machine in
his arms "Ma said she'd save you
a trip." he pouted, ' and P's time vou
was usin' it again." He turned and
was gone.
As the Turman boy went out of the
front gate little Hobby Jars m, from
tlio brick house down the street,
trudged up the front walk with a
basket filled with neatly tied and la
beled packages. These were marked
“cup of sugar,” “pinch of tea," “olive
oil for salad dressing,” “vinegar you
forgot to order" and "flour to do till
the grocer's bey gets here.” He set
the basket down, pointed to it with a
gesture evidently rehearsed and went
away.
