AZORES AT A STANDSTILL L Pepuntion Has Shown Little Change H In Cast Century?Lost Trade In HA Sugar and Tobacco. Tlte population of the Azores Is M about 245.000. the number of inhabiMR tadts baring changed but little in the laat century, and. if anything, having ^^H^Kbrntnished. This fact is probably due ^^BHKnore to various political and social ^^^^^mondltious than to climatic, agriculj^JH^wtral. or other conditions of the ^^HHmlands. In the early days the PortuH^H^Hnese literally "raised cane" on the I^H^Halands. and established a large sugar H^^^trade with England and other countries. Tobacco and fruits were also r produced In great quantities, our. wr.n tbo discovery and settlement of Brazil and other South American countries, Portugal rather discouraged produey tlOQ in the Aaores in order to aid her colonies In South America. With the sugar and tobacco trade snatched from m them, the Asoreans began the cultlvaV tien of the vine, and the making of * wine and other liquors became one of the chief industries of the Islands. The population consists mainly of Portuguese, Moorish, and Flemish settlers, with e few negroes and a fair sprinkling of English settlers. Novel Apartment Building. A San Francisco woman realty operator has planned a novel building. Her idea la to -ltlllie a steep blnff 350 feet high. On it she proposes to erect a series of apartments running in stairstep fashion from the street down to the water or San Francisco bay. It is proposed to have each apartment equipped with its own elevator entrance, pergola and roof garden. ?"v - -u" inclined elevator W1U1 a ~ connecting all with the private wharf tor Ashing and boating. Other features projected are a specially wanned sea-water bathing tank and glass Inclosed and a heated playground tor children on the beach. Steam heat, I hot water, laundry, garage, billiard, dab and bail rooms are to be provided as matters of course. The site commands a line view of the Golden Gate and the sea outside, according to the prospectus, and It Is said the apartasents. which will rent at a prohibitive (for most of ns) price, are already uder lease, even before the bnlldlng has been started.?Kansas City Star.

Why Cotton Seed Brine Lower Pricej Early in The Season There are several reasons why cot ton seed do and should sell for less in the early part of the season. The) are apt to contain more water 01 moisture than later in the season and are consequently worth less t< the oil miller. This is not usually i large item in so far as the loss froir the yield of oil and meal is concern ed, but it is important because it i: likely to cause the seed to damag( by heating, unless properly handled This not only makes it general 1} necessary that the farmer markei them promptly, but it forces them 01 the market and offers an opportuni ty to the buyer to hammer down th< price, as he can and does do, on ah} product the marketing of which it forced by any cause. There is also another reason wh} the first seed marketed may sell foi less than they are actually worth If the market for cotton seed pro ducts, oil and meal, is.low or de pressed, or if there is any unusua uncertainty as to the future demanc and prices of these products. th< buyers of seed must buy at a suffi ciently low price to protect them selves from probable loss. In fact there is always a tendency to pa} even less than sufficient to make i fair profit, in order to make them selves perfectly safe. In the early part of the season therefore, the prices of cotton see< products?oil, meal, hulls, and lin ters?are notthe only factors oper ating to determine the price recefve< by the producer for his cotton seed ! o in..
