The reason so many of these modern sfforts are a “flop’' U because they are based on "bunk." —* & * A couple of pilots Ret in a fight daring an airplane flight in Kansas— thd machine crashes. Evidently this is the ultra in everything to lose— nothing to gain.

Young Men In a bank vault in Tokio lies $600,- 000 worth of solid gold, nobody knows who owns it, nobody claims it. Many a younp man, will say,. “I would y do anythh g to get that $500,000 in gold, that nobody claims.” Young gentlemen should remembe that, in thffc ^wpjjraiw^in ihair •ouroes of patience, common sense and energy, $500,000 in real money and more may be fourjd i( they want t work. They needn’t do ‘ANYTHING’ to get it, just work and be steady. Traveling This country, as everybody knows, has more miles of railroad track than any other country in the world. Some thing that ought to make railroad man agera and their stockholders think is the fact that “common carrier mo tor o«nnrbu§ lines" have mom miles of boa routes than railroads have of rail lines. Two hundred and seventy thousand miles for the buses,, 257000 milea for the railroads. When airplanes begin competing with the railroads and buses the sit uation will be more complicated. Children in tho schools now will tell THEIR children: I remember when my father used to travel long dis tances in the railroad train.

The above question has been asked many times in the past a nd will con- tine to be asked jurt as long as such Tire v Issued by- The" gbvenv and more or lera interested in dhridtsHv. Last year, wherT a big yield whs being forecast, ‘.he-people of thei Sou£h said, “We don’t believe it,” but the cotton speculators seized upon each succeeding ntatenfent and hammered O' the price of cotton down. Thae year, the first of the “guesses” by the government places the prob able yield at approximately thirteen and a half million bales. The cotton •peculators immediately say, “We do nut believe it,” and after an initial advance of about 3*4 cents a pound Monday and Tuesday of last week, the gamblers succeeded in depress ing the price jin the face of adverse weather and weevil reports. These reports just don’t seem to wgk in the interest of the producers. Those who control the cotton markets believe them only when it suits them to.do so and manipulate the price accordingly. The South may disbe lieve them—but it can’t manipulate the price. The market worked up above the IS cents level in the face of pre dictions of a 14% to 15 million bale camp, only to be hammered down more Hum two cents a pound just before the government report, and after the price had reacted to around the pre- high marie, we are told that prices, “discount present con- mom.” We can only hopi that the bears wifi get caught in a rising market gad lose their hides. secy-early i Gr#flrf Onupi forth Not Alway* Imperial, I have' met royalties, Informally sad formally, and Always ay a simple citizen sociably Inclined.

She came at nightfall with beating drams and a bodyguard of powerfol war riors armed with shields and speara. Behind her walked two handmaids, and slaves carrying pots of wild honey and ground nuts as gifts for my aska- rli. This lady was a genuine queen and respected and obeyed as such. But the was rather fat, and waddled ae she walked, and her only garment was a single string of ^ blue beads hanging about her creased hips. She was as coy In our Interview as a play ful spinster. ’ I have In my possession a beautiful little gold watch presented to me by an authentic princess of distinguished royalty.

Pharaoh arrayed Joseph In vestures of fine linen In 1776 B. C., and that was nearly 4,000 years ago. The gar ments of the priests of the Egyptians, as well as those of ancient Hebrews, wire of the same fabric. Many varie ties of flax are known and more than 25 have been cultivated, hut the plant Is sold to rapidly exhaust the soli, and so Its cultivation suffered severe ly except In Egypt. There the fibers of this product were manufactured in Hates and the secret was carried to Tyre In 588 B.

As one of the products of Egypt flax is referred to In the Book of'Exodus. To this day Egypt Cultivates large quantities of this product.—Detroit News. Medicine*$ Early Pays It takes little to make history. Un til the time of Bressot, a French phy sician of the latter part of the Fif teenth century, It was the practice for surgeons to bleed their patients on the opposite side of the body on which the soreness was felt Bressot, however, expounded a theory of bleed ing dose to the seat of the hurt, and ■o rabid became the discussion among the learned men of the period that Bressot was banished from the em pire by Charles V. But not for long, though, for upon the death of one of the emperor’s relatives who had been treated according to the old theory, he recalled Bressot and his theory for some time carried weight. scmtljrn line of Harrison's lit and on tfe* vast by a Mse six fcqjies (6”) from the essterfl line of a, brick building owns! by estate of L.- C.
