A comm CONSPIRACY?
S nce the new year European spin
ners and speculators have been buying
Amei lean spot cotton at a great rate.
Tho demand has been described a*
•‘ravenous.” The reasons for their
hading up areas plain as big print.
They contain a warning to and for the
planter* of the Month that there has
been 1 itsbf Helng in the past and tl ej
the people guilty of It mean greater
mischief next fall and xlways. A year
ago^beir cotton brought a price that
gaVe the makers of It a fair profit these
s^lnnvr sinners were pleading dull de
mam! for cotton goods all around tbe
world a* thelrexcujc for working short
time or shutting down omlielv. But
when the interior price became as low
as they dared let It go they began buy
Ing again, saying nothing worth while
about the world demand for cotton
good* or the r, cord breaking crop of
1« 000,000 bale*.
Thr.lr first reason for such liberal
hurltig is that the present price of hale
cotton assures them a splendid profit
on the goods manufactured from It.
The second reason I* that In getting
heavy surplus stocks in their hands or
tn .each they can keep down to present
prices the a* yet uncertain crop that
w ill he made this year. Next August
and September they will be 1.1 position
to lie some more, by saying that the
wholesale market Is overstocked wlrti
goods for which there Is little demand,
that they have enough old cotton to
supply their trade and the crop of 1012
will he at their mercy. Tne slxo « f the
next crop will not he the ftetor it
should hef In fixing the price it wl.J
bring, and It is sbout as sure as any
future farming event can be that the
yield will he millions below the bump

We were talking about money mak
ing as a talent. 1 mentioned tbe case
of Spangler.
Bpangler and I .Were nchoolmatea.
He tra* always wanting to trade some
thing and Invariably came out with
tbe beat of tbe bargain* He was a
miniature muithnlllionelrv of the prea-
ent day. a tort of whirlpool sucking In
all thing* that came within a certain
radlua. We boys at the school could
not figure out bow he did It. It was
not pleasant when we got a new knife
or aled or pair of skates to have Bpan
gler come around with something posi
tively dnetllog qnd offer to trade, for
we knew la the end bd would have
our goode and hla own too. But In
spite of oureelres our avarice would
get the bettqr of na. and we would
lose what we had In an attempt to get
something better. Tbe funny part of
It all wa* that we never could detect
the boy In the slightest dishonesty or
even ahilrp practice. When he had
anything to dispose of or was offering
n trade, be would *aj; “Now. feller*.
I’d rather you wouldn't. There are
certain things about this racket I’m
giving up I don't like, but you may
not object to them- As for me, I don't
know whether I shall be satisfied with
what you've got or not. Anyway, I
won't blame you If I'm not.** ^
By tbe time be left school he had
all the Jackknlves, tops, marbles, kite*
and other such boys’ belongings. He
went to the high school, and though he
didn't capture any prizes he took away
all the heat tennis rackets, footballs
and hockey abates. He got through
with his education when ho was nine
teen. and those of his class who didn't
go to college, but went Into business,
were boprped to hear that Spangler,
Instead of learning something alxint
mercantile affairs, was going In at
once to be a full fledged producer.
And when they heard what he waa
going to do every one smelled revenge.
He was going to raise chickens.
I told my father a Unit Spangler's
move, and he said: "It la Impoaalble
to re tee chickens and eggs at a profit,
because the farmer, with whom yeu
must compete, will not look upon
his chickens aa an asset. In other
words, ho Is ready to sell them for
wbst he can get and consider It ao
much celuod." I told this to tbe boys,
and they all agreed that, although
SiwngleVa way of getting things had
been all very well at school, uow that
he had got ont Into th* world he
would find k# was not ao sui*erior to
us after all.. We were told that If
there was any way of ma\lag money
out of chlckeua It must be right along
side of a good market, but when we
heard that Bpangfer had bought with
money of hi* own—the things he had
acquired of we turned Into caal»—a lit
tle farm away off In the country, with
no available rood to market, we bowl
ed with ddtrhL
One grudge I bore the trader. I bnd
a diamond ring that had been worn
by an aunt ef mine and wbhh she had
willed me. Bungler got If. If I re
member correctly. In place of It 1 had
a pair of skate", four kite*, a bag of
marbles nod a gold wateh and chain,
both the latter plated
Well, this la the way Spangler work
ed chicken farming: He bought up all
the chicken* In tbe wletnlty of bis
farm. When we heard that we con
rinded the formers must buy from
him all the chickens they needed for
their tables. Then some one ouggeat-
ed that farmers never eat chicken*;
when thej - have them they soli them;
when they don't have them they tnkc
no Interest In them. It was evident
that Spawg'er had got out of his dn>*h.
Tho effrontery of the man was msde
manifest when he sent me a circular
that he was distributing among his
neighbors. He had lost the diamond
ring that had been mine Fie didn't
know, but he believed that one of his
chickens tod swallowed It. Then fol
lowed the announcement that his
chickens were for sale nt reasonable
prices mid If any one should hnp|>ea
to buy the one that might hare swal
lowed (he ring be would be somo $49
to the good.
When I rend this circular all my
Mens of revenge diffused llko vapor
I saw hia scheme. But surely the bar
dy tons of toll In the country would
not be taken tn by this cheap device.
I ground my teeth together and wait
ed. rrwentlt- 1 got another circular
stating that 50 per cent of Spangler *
chickens had been add and the ring
had v not been imported found. Tbe re
maining half were still for sale, but
the prlta had been doubled.
What nonsense I Pay $2 for a chick
en that ndghl possibly have swallow
ed a diamond ring! I coaldn't believe
that nny mofe fanners would be pilled,
especially since fhls ridiculous price
hnd been put bn a chicken. Bdt thev
were. Rpnugler aokl 40 per cent of
the remnlnlng chickens at $2 each, tflen
raised ihe price on the remaining ten
chlcketo-sktn and bone—to $5 apiece,
taking lhrre old roosters himself. Tha
ring was fouhiJ la the crop of one of
the trader's birds.
When I had doiabrd my alory Tboraap-
•on naked wtot hid become of this Na
