In the first nine months of the pres ent crop year, domestic mills used 5,337,820 bales, excluding linters, against 4,959,126 bales last year. Ex ports absorbed 9,473,874 bales, exclud ing linters, against 6,945,260 bales a year previous. Consumption and ex ports combined accounted for 14,811,- 694 bales, against 11,904,386 bales a year ago. If the same percentage of gain Is maintained to the end ofi the crop year, the total will reach 17,- 900,000 to 18,000,000 bales. The 1920 crop was 17,977,000 bales of lint cot ton. The increase In consumption and exports can be attributed to low prices, showing that the world ap preciates a bargain In raw cotton. Foreign consumption .of American .'cotton has not Increased as much as abroad. Foreign buyers took advan tage of the opportunity to fill their warehouses while cotton was selling below the cost of production. They realized that the chances were strong ly against three large crops to succes sion and that cotton was not likely to continue io sell as low as during the past fall and winter. This stored cotton will compete.'of course, with this year’s production. Besides the large domestic consump tion and exports lu recent months, the cotton situation has been strength ened by other events. Low prices pre vented enough of the 1926 crop from being picked, so tb*t only 11,911,000 bales were ginned, compared with the estimated production of 18,618,000 bales. Crops In other cotton-produc ing countries proved to be enough smaller than in 1925 to offset much of the gain In the domestic crop. The total world crop was not much greater than in 1925. Floods destroyed some stored cotton and forced a substantial cut In acreage. Drouth In Texas and heavy weevil emergence are other In dications that production is unlikely exports.

Napoleon and Lincoln Among the Henpecked The henpecked man can scarcely be classed as a product of modern times. Historians relate that many of the world's most famous men, including Napoleon, Lincoln and Socrates, were henpecked. One of the letters writ ten by Napoleon to his wife, Jose phine, ends with the postscript: “A thousand kisses—as burning as yours are frosty." Lincoln, It Is said, was henpecked because he was too shy. Count Mont- geles, the- German biographer of Lin coln. declares that Lincoln’s wife loved blm superficially, her own selfish am bitions predominating, adding that she constantly pecked at blm and almost drove him mad. The duke of Marlborough, oue of Wlnstou Churchill's ancestors, and ac claimed as one of the greatest warriors of his day, was madly In-love with his wife, who, however, nagged him all the time. In 1704 be wrote to his wife on the eve of a battle>^ "I'm not nearly as much afraid of my 00,000 foes as I am of you when you are mud at me." Next day, with Prince Eugene of Savoy, he won a big victory over the forces of Louis XIV of France.—New York Evening World.

Recently be took a "traveling man" home to dinner with him. When, after dinner, the two men were In the smok ing room together, the traveling mao felt moved to say: "Mr. Blank, as you know, I go about a great deal, aud I may confess to you I am an observer of the fair sex, and in the course of my travels I see many handsome women, but I must say Mrs. Blank is about the handsomest woman I’ve ever met I should think you’d be afraid to bring other men Into your home." . "Oh, I trust my wife to look after the honor and welfare of the family, but I do sometimes find myself taking the precaution to lavlte only such plain, commonplace men as no woman would care to see the second time.”— Boston Globe. Free Speech invaluable Without free speech no search for truth Is possible; without free speech no discovery of truth Is useful; with out free speech progress Is checked and the nations no longer march for ward toward the nobler life which th% future bolds for man. Better a thousandfold abuse of free speech than denial of free speech. The abuse dies in a day, but the denial slays the life irthe people and entombs the hope if the race.—Charles Bradlau&h.

Powerful Colloids if r you leave the dishes In which gelatin desserts have been served to lie unwashed, you may find them broken next morning, says Hygela Magazine. Gelatin is one of those substances, neither liqnld nor solid, known as colloid. When it dries it exerts a force strong enough to pull chips of glass out of a dish In which It has been placed. The, same force la exerted in re verse direction when dried colloids ab sorb moisture and expand. This was the principle used by the Egyptians when they drove a wooden wedge Into a crack and poured water on It This caiaed the expansion of the colloid In the wood and split the rock. • « ' Vacation Time TRY THE COOL PLACES IX THE Southern Appalachian Mountains or.
