He had run out of gasoline and was 1 miles away from the nearest garage. 3 so great was his joy when in the early dawn he saw a heavy cart lumbering 1 toward him. r "If you'll tow me to the next vil- 1 Inge," he said to the drowsy vanman, * "I'll give you Ave dollars." ?

COTTON FACTS Exported and Uaed at Home to End of May, 12,562,000 Bales, Leaving a Stock of 4,947,000 Bales. Secretary of Agriculture Houston reports on the cotton situation as follows: "Ten months have passed since the war broke out. Much discussion is going on still concerning cotton exports and some of it taking place without a full knowledge of the facts. The leading facts are as follows : "The cotton crop for 1914, last year's crop, according to the last ginning report, was 15,873,000 bales, instead of approximately 14,000,000 bales as was expected. There was a carry-over from the 1913 crop of 1,328,600 bales. There have been imported during the ten months since the outbreak of the war, ending May 31, 1915, 307,400 bales. There was, therefore, a total visible supply for the current year to date of 17,509,000 bales. "There were exported and consumed domestically to May 31, 1915, 12,562,000 bales, leaving a visible supply on hand as of May 31, 1915, of 4,947,000 bales. The amount exported to all foreign countries for the period from August 1, 1914, to June 11, 1915, is approximately 868,000 bales less than for the corresponding period or the preceding year. "In this period the exports each month for the first five months of the current year?that is, from August through December?were less than the exports for each month of the same period for the preceding year, but since December and up to June of the current year?that is, for the five months January to May, inclusive, 1916?the exports have been greater than for each month of the same period of the preceding year. "It seems likely that the exports for the months immediately ensuing will be greater this year than last. "The number of bales consurxied in the United States for the ten months ending May 31, 1914, was 4,731,600. The number of bales consumed for the ten months ending May 31, 1915, was 4,585,522. The consumption the month for the first part of the period was less this year than last through January and in the month of April. The amount consumed this year in February, March and May exceeded the amounts consumed for each of those months last year. "The total visible supply of cotton as of June 11, 1914, was 4,400,500 bales, and as of June 11, 1915, 6,224,000 bales of spot cotton dropped from 13 cents on August 7, to 9.16, November 13. On November 21, 1914, the Liverpool 8pot price of middling uplands was 8.88. It rose steadily to January 22, when it was 10.20. In April it ranged from 11.12 to 11.56; in May from 19.28 to 10.72; on June 12, it was 10.74. In New York on November 20, It was 7.60. It rose until January 16, when 11 was 8.70.

"(b) Deliveries at Liverpool in excess of speculative contracts. "(c) Lack of full revival bf normal trade conditions. "(d) The good condition reported for the new cotton crop in the south. (The cotton acreage has not yet been reported.) "Minor factors which seem to have affected the Liverpool and other cotton markets are: were American, and for 1915, 4,497,454 bales. In 1914, the total stock in Great Britain was 1,050,000 bales, and in 1915, 1,930,000 bales. On the continent in 1914, the total stocks were1,044,000 bales, and in 1915, 1,538,000 bales. In 1914, the American cotton afloat was 267,000 bales, and in 1915, 447,000 bales.

"In Liverpool the spot price of middling up and for the season 191314, from October to June, did not in any week fall below 13.82, and did not exceed 15.74, and in New York the price did not fall below 14.50.

CAUSTIC COMMENT Pointed Paragraphs Concerning Various Things. When money is tight a man should keep sober. Shiftless people are never the ones who worry about it. The chap who suspects his neighbor, is not above suspicion. A man who patronizes saloons often finds himself in a tight place. A girl who has loved and lost boasts of her Indifference for the men. The world has but little use for the man who tells It a disagreeable truth. Poetry may bring returns?if a stamp is inclosed with it. When the officeholder loses his grip he does less handshaking. A small boy's ideal hero is a big boy who runs away from school. Happiness is always where we find it. but seldom where we go to seek it. Sometimes a man gets tired of being good and experiments in vice out of curiosity. If all women were mind readers every man on earth would take to the tall timber. The man who likes to hear himself talk is about the only one who cares to listen. Occasionally a man takes a day off to celebrate the anniversary of his birth, but a woman usually takes a year off.

After a Are in Nantucket a man was seen returning home with his trousers reversed. He explained that he had dressed In such a hurry as not to notice how he was putting them on, and had had no time to change them.

Friends have given them enough to keep them In food during the trip. William L. Porter, aged 58, who weighs 200 pounds, performed a fine acrobatic feat unwillingly when a | staging on which he was working in Worcester gave way, throwing him to the ground.

Following an annual custom, the Zion Lutheran church of Lancaster, 1 Pa., recently paid a ground rent of one red rose to the lineal descent of 1 Baron Henry Williams Stiegel, who in 1772 gave the church the land conditional upon this annual payment, "whenever demanded." The transaction has been incorporated into a festival known as the Feast of the Roses. Clyde Glfford, a contractor of Newton, N. J., told of an unusual incident ; that occurred at that place recently, when a hen pheasant, fearing an attack was about to be made on her 1 brood of six young ones, attacked a horse driven by GilTord and before he could drive the animal off the bird had picked out the eyes of the horse and inflicted other wounds. THE WHITE FLAG ?? Significance in War at Once Fixed by < International Law. ( To a great many people the mere * mention of a white flag in war at once * suggests some connection with one of > those unpleasant episodes which, in South Africa, says the London TitBits, came to be dignified with the title of "regrettable incidents." But it is important that it should be more generally known that a white (lag in international law possesses a significance quite different in character. For an officer or soldier to display a white flag or other token of surrender In the presence of the enemy Is a disgrace equivalent to showing the white feather; and the king's regulations make it unmistakably clear that the affender will be tried by general courtmartial. The surrender by an officer charged with its defense, of any garrison, post, ?uard or position, whether fortified or not, which even a detachment may be ardered to hold, can only be justified ay the utmost necessity. Unless this necessity be clearly shown, the surrender becomes an act af shame and disgrace, punishable by ieath; or if the evidence is insufficient to support such a charge the offender, if an officer, is liable to be cashiered, ar if a soldier to suffer imprisonment. What requires to be clearly understood is that the hoisting of a white flag', means, in itself, nothing else :han that one party is asking whether it will receive a communication from the other. In practice, however, the white flag. In consequence of being improperly lioisted in the course of an action by individual soldiers or small .parties, aas come to Indicate surrender. The white flag is the universally understood flag of truce, and no more. Since lime immemorial it has been jsed as a signal by an armed force :hat it Is anxious to communicate with ;he enemy, and this is the only signiIcance that it can be said to possess n international law. Great vigilance is always necessary, for the question in every case is whether the hoisting of the white flag was authorized by the senior officer. In consequence, when the flag is loisted the enemy need not necessarily cease fire, though it is absolutely incumbent on the party which hoists the lag to do so. For instance, during the siege of \rthur in 1904, when a particular 'ort hoisted a flag, the Japanese generil, tt&ron Nogi, did not Immediately cease tiring on that fort; he looked jpon it as merely the preliminary to i negotiation. Recent government figures show hat only one person in every 1,000 in Denmark is unable to read and write, compared with seven in each 1,000 in he United States. DARING ROBBERY IN NEW ORLEANS Lone Thief Secures $100,000 From Bayou State Security Bank. POLICE WITHOUT CLUE. Bold Bandit Force* President to Cash Personal Check at Point of Revolver, Then Makes Hie Disappearance. New Orleans.?One of the most daring daylight bank robberies ever recorded in this city was committed this morning when the Bayou State Security bank was looted of $100,000 in currency by a lone robber. There is absolutely no clue to the thief. As has been the custom for some time of the president of the bank. Mr. Andrew Galbraith, entered his private offices in the rear of the main banking apartment at ten o'clock. Shortly after a young man of prepossessing appearance quietly opened the door and entered the room. When the president looked up he found himself gazing into the muzzle of a revolver and heard the cool demand for $100,000 under penalty of death for refusal. Mr. Galbraith Immediately realized that the robber would carry out his threat should he make any outcry or disturbance. He was calmly told to write his personal check for the amount named and Indorse it He was then ordered to take it to the paying teller while the mysterious visitor followed him closely with the revolver leveled at him under his coat Wtian D*aal/lant Oolhmlth nrAIAIltml the check the young robber stepped to the window and requested $1,000 in small bills and the rest In paper of large denomination.

At I a ft) The Price-Watch For It. Rebuilt Typewriters? STANDARD TYPEWRITERS practically all sell at the uniform price of $100.00 Each?That's the "list price"? sometimes they can be bought for less?and when you have had it a week it is "second hand" and you could not get the price you paid if you wanted to sell. Of course the experienced Typewriter salesman can come along and tell you all about the little uevices that his machine has that no other machine has?point out its conveniences?its two color ribbon, back spacer, tabulating device, etc., and make you think that his machine is the only one to buy. That's his business ?that is exactly what he is paid to do?that's one of the ^ reasons why you pay $100 for a new Typewriter?You are fl asked to pay this price in order to help pay the cost of mar- ^ keting the machine?and of course that is all pertectly legitimate and part of the business. But where do you come in? Aside from the pride you may have in the "very newest model" typewriter with all the "newest kinks," you haven't any more REAL TYPEWRITER value than you would have had you bought a REBUILT MACHINE. The New Machine will not write any harder, any faster, any better, any easier or anv plainer than a REBUILT, and it's dollars to doughnuts that it won't look any better to your eye. This being TRUE do you think it good business to buy a New machine at $100.00, when you can buy a Factory Rebuilt Typewriter of exactly the same make and model at a saving of from $35.00 to $50.00 or more? Of course, if you are flush with the coin of the realm, and want to be real generous to the Typewriter Salesman and the Typewriter Builders and pay them the $100 anyway, why of course that is perfectly all right and furthermore it is none of our business. But if you are buying a Typewriter for business use, let us urge you to investigate the FACTORY REBUILT before you buy. Tell us what you want?We will be glad to make you a price and then you can decide for yourself.
