DON'T VISIT WITH BUSY MAN
Experience of Colonel Walters With
President Harrison Might Well
Act as Warning.
We once heard n busy man sny he
wouldn't care to sea his long-absent
beloved brother on a busy mbralng.
Thereby hangs a tale, Capper's week
ly observes. The regiment of Col. L,
II. Waters was breaded alongside of
Uen. Benjamin Harrison's brigade for
several months during the Civil war,
end tfie two men became great friends.
After the war General Harrison re
turned to Indiana and became Presi
dent of the United States. Colonel
Waters became one of the West's dis
tinguished lawyers. One time Waters
went to Washington on business and
while there decided that It would be
an act of discourtesy if he didn't go
up and call on his old army pal, Presi
dent Harrison, then in the White
House. So he made himself known to
the President's secretary. "Walk right
In," said the secretary, "the President
Is at his desk alone right now." Wa
ters walked In. President Harrison
had his nose down to his desk and
didn't look up. The colonel shuffled his
feet to attract the President's atten
tion. This didn't bring results. .Then
he coughed. Whereupon President
Harrison looked up and growled.
"Wfell, what do you want here?" "Not
a thing," retorted Waters as he turned
on his heels and walked out.
SPEED REDUCED TO FIGURES
Just What the Expression "Doing Six
ty Miles an Hour" Really Con
veys to Expert.
"Going at the rate of sixty miles an
hour" Is an expression dear to many
writers, both of fiction and of fact.
Just what does this mean from the
prosaic standpoint of science? What
if an automobile proceeding at the rate
of 60 miles an hour should come to a
sudden stop, such as. for instance, by
striking a heavy bridge abutment? A
fair Idea of the completeness of the
wreck may be had by Imagining the j
machine falling from a height of 120 ;
feet or from the top of a ten-story ;
office building. An object falling from
a height of 120 feet would have the
snme velocity at the Instant of strik
ing the ground as rhp motorcar would
have when traveling 00 miles an hotrr.
The energy possessed by a 2,400
pound automobile traveling at the rate
of 60 miles an hour Is 290,000 foot
pounds, which Is the same an that of
a body weighing 1.000 pounds at the
Instant of striking the ground from a
drop of 290 feet.
Were a resistance of fl.000 pounds
applied to the automobile It would j
come to rest in a distance of 44 feet
in one second of time, and In coming ?
to rest would be doing work at an av
erage rate of over 2?ri7 horse-power. ?

COTTON ON THKKS.
Plants Grafted and May Kevolutionize
Farming in the South.
A dispatrh by VieU>r 'if. Xchoffol*
meyer from Galveston, Tex., to the
Washington Star is as follows:
''Successfully grafting cotton
plant* to the loots of a mulberry tree
and blending in the offspring certain
ih -liable characteristics of Egyptian
Sua Island and other long staph*
American varieties, P. Dan Goorge, a
Roumanian- Hungarian plant breeder,
wh<> settled at l.amarsue, Galveston
county, 10 years ago, has developed
a new variety of cotfoni One grafted
plant this season has by actual
count 917 bolls and hundreds of
squaies. while the parent plant la ?t
oh had >r>i'- hulls which opened
July 28, some seven locks and none
less than five and six. The plant was
eight fuel tall and six feet in diamo
ter.
"From three grafted cotton plaot's
last season, Mr. Geofrge gathered r?:>
pounds of seed cotton or at the rate
Ol- live bales atl :>,c;e.
???ft is plant has ndoubtedly Egyp
tian 'characteristics with deeply in
dented leaves and long pointed bolls.
The progeny from this plant .will
again be crossed with other desirable
cotton varieties, which will combine
the high-yielding powers of the pa
rent Egyptian plant and the large
bolls, pf several other crosses now
growing. On the George place. .
. "The value of the new variety of
cotton will depend entirely upon its
performance under actual farming
conditions. This has not been possible
because \intil this year there has not
been enough seed to plant a largo
acreage. Xe\t season, however, ther?i
will be enough seed from this year's
crop to plant several -hundred- acres.
'Counts made in the Lamarqur
field show field plants grown in ordi
nary cotton rows with *72 almost ma
ture bolls' and 1 Gl? squares. They
have done this m spite of a nuoy, ad
verse and backward season, which
ha* caused much shedding.
"Examination of the staple from
the three parent plants last season
showed a length of one and a half
inches, with a fine texture and good
drag. A large open boll was almost
as bij; as a man's tjst. All were lar
ger than ordinary cotton bolls. This
year's bolls aVe of very large size,
many of more than an inch and a
quarter in diameter.
. "Mr. George's idea is to produce
a tree cotton which will reproduce it
self each year by growing a new
crown, although the upper portion of
the stalk or trunk may die down du
ring cold weather. There are such
tree cottons in Asia and South Amer
ica and one variety in Cuba which
possesses a fairly long staple.
' dust what part the grafting of
cotton to mulberry roots i* playing
in the development of Mr. George's
new varieties is not determined so
far. It undoubtedly has made for
large size of bolls, vigor of plants,
prolific fruiting and enormous size
of leaves. Some of the leaves from
his cotton plants this season have a
spread of IS inches. Some have five
lobes and others three. Some are
deeply cleft and others are rounded.
"Ninety-five per cent of George'*;
cotton plants at Lamarque are quite
uniform and have high-yielding
powers. In some the dominant traits
of no less than three or four varieties
are present.
"A remarkable thing about
George's new cotton is that the plants
are heavily fruited from the bottom
up, the bolls literally resting on the
ground with the middle branches al
most touching the ground.
"George has been offered $ 1 00 for
a boll and has refused $1 a seed. IL
obtained -10,000 seeds from last' year'.;
experiments. Seed breeders from
various part* of the United Stat**
Belgium, i:?st Africa, Australia H.?i
Great Hritaln have written to him to
obtain need of Ma new variety."
Kprcttlntipg in German Marks
. Many Americans have been spViu
lating in German marks?have been
buying them and pigeonholing them
on the gamble that, in the course of
time, they will greatly enhance j?
value? some even indulging the Wilj
hope tha^ they, in the distant future
maay be worth what they were l>,.f
the WorJd War.
These speculators, ax well as the
public generally,, may bo interested
in a statement in the Baltimore Manu
facturers Record on the matter. Th*
statement was in reply to an inquiry
by N. D. Graham, who wrote the Re.
cord as follows: Please let me know
what you think of buying German
marks at this time. Of course this is
purely a matter speculative--- but.
would like to have your opinion any/
way. To thin the Record retorted:
Our opinion of a man who buys a
German mark or of any n\nn, it mat.
tors not how high he may he, iyfift'
since the Armistico has .bought a
German mark, is that "a fool and his
money are soon parted." Any man
who. watched the career of Germany
should have known that that country
I had lost all sense of honor, and that
speculation in any of its securities
was argamble based on less honor? we
had almost said than hell itself hut
perhaps here and there may be some
| people in Germany to whom such a.
term should not be applied. We re
cognize the fact that there are some
good Germans, but they have been
powerless in shaping the destiny of
that nation; and the campaign of is
suing marks has been a definite one
for robbing the world. The man who
buys the German mark purely as a
speculation, even if he could get a
thousand million of them for a penny,
would show that he is willing to take
a chance in buying a security of a
country.. that is without honor and
whose devil-devised activities have
brought all of the chaos which exists
in the world. Even if a man knew
that by some superhuman power Ger
man marks would be made to advance,
and that he might reap a fortune by
investing in them, we would regard
his purchase of German marks as on
a par with the purchase of bootleg
whiskey and the cooperation in that
way with the most desperate gang of
criminals with which this country
has ever been cursed.
Pity ihe Lion. #
It was a rather small dircus and
carried but one lion, one tiger and
one elephant, and so on down the list
After the trainer had put the lion -
through his paces an elderly lady ap
peared at the cage door and remark
ed:
"Aren't you afraid that this fero
cious beast will attempt to make a
meal of you some day?"
"To tell you the truth, ma'm," con
fided the man in the dazzling uniform,
"if busines doesn't get any bette.',
I'm afraid I'll have to make a meal
of this ferocious beast." ? American
Legion Weekly. ? ;
Secretary of War Weeks, mindful
of the fate of President Harding,
has warned President Coolidge to drop
as much of the detail work of the
executive's office as possible on the
shoulders of competent assistants, and
save himself for the bigger things of
his administration.
