THE FRANKLIN TIMES A. F JOHNSON. Editor apd Munjger ?Cotton uold In Louisburg yester day for 38 3-4 cents a pound. KINKY HAIRED MULE. Mr. R. F.NFuller, Franklin County's veteran horse dealer, has won the dis tinction of being the first person to bring to the County a Kinky haired mule. The mule is attracting much attention at Mr. Fuller's stables on Main Street, and really presents a neat appearance, being so much ou\ of the ordinary. It is young and full of life* leading one to believe that when It de cides to give its "left hind feet" a lit tle exercise it is like uncoiling of so riany springs.

FARMERS WILL SPEND *>0,000,000.00 | Enormous Sum for Farm Electric Lltflit and Power. I T'" 1 """ article In one of the largest farm Jour nals." said Mr. R. I. Mitchell, the lo cal Lalley Light dealer, "In which the statement was made that more than $50,000,000.00 will be ap^nt this year by the farmers of this Country for home electric light and power plants, installation, wiring, ami accessory ap paratus. " "When I first read this article. I am frank to suy that 1 wa8^om(->what stalled. $50.000.000.00 is certainly a large suni, but, on more Tnature reflec tion, I v.i inclined to believe that the statement abov? made is correct. *'lt if hnrd^to suggest a better wa> In wh'xh this money could be spent than in bringing to Rome half million dwellers in farm h >mes the coinlort and convenience of electric light and ?power. Farm homes.' ?atif Mr. R Mitchell, "are everywhere to be found th.it ar(? daily proving the value of propei ly constructed and properly *.n Bt.plied clcc*rlc light and poorer plertj. That is r*irticularly true of the far:?> ers in t'lis community. Tens of th sands ot progressive farm owners h 1 over the country are considering their purchase. These men want informa tion that will help in a wise choice of a plant, both as to character'and size. "The prospective buyer whom I pre fer selling is the one who is truly wise This sort of a man is guided in his pur chase of an electric light and power plant b?^ exactly the same considera tion^ thai would influence him in a se lection of an automobile or any piece of high grade farm machinery."?Adv.

Have you ever noticed a gull drop ping on the sea?how It spreads its wings high so that, the 'withers'shall not be wetted? If a gull's wlug feath ers get wet it cannot rise until they dry, say? a writer In Lpndon Tit-Bits. . Throw a mouse Into the water. It can swim a little, hut as soon as Its fur Is soaked down It goes, and drowns. So, too, In the case of a rab- | bit. As soon as Its fur Is wet It Is done for. A mole can swim like anything, but | a monkey is very h elpless in the water. Almost all land birds drown very raj*- , Idly if unlucky enough to fall into the | water. They strike oyt with their leg*, (nove round and round in a circle, but cannot get oflf the water. JLlons and tigers are very good swim mers, and do not share the common cftts' hatred for the water. But of all the cat tribe, the South American Jaguar isthe finest performer In the water, ifseems often to plunge in for 1 mere Joy of a swim. 4 rabbit, as we have said, drowns as soon as-itB fur Is soaked through, yet curiously enough its near relative, the hare, swims quit? well, and will often cross a river when hunted. . Bears are good Rwlmmert even those I that usually live far from large sheets of waterr and the common rat if no mean performer. ' One of the beet of animal swimmer? Is the horse. Horses have been known to swim a river nearly a mile wkle simply to get back to their old stables. Deer, too, can all swim well. There are cases of caribou having swum across lakee ten miles wide wbsn escaping from forest fires. ALCOHOL GROWS ON TREES Liquid Declared to Be Plentiful In ^ - Blooms Which Flourish In Pro fusion In India. I Alcohol In these days has attentat from governments in diver*- ways. Bngland has had a committee study ing the possibilities of increasing the production of alcohol to be used In generating power. The opportunities discussed by the committee are interesting. Of courps> potatoes, artichokes and cereals came in for attention. But it seems there are less known sources of alcohol. For example, there is the flower of the mahua tree, which flourishes in Hy derabad and the central part of India. This flower, when sun dried, contains 6* per tent of its weight in ferment able sugar, and apparently Is to be gathered by the ton. Then there are the fertile gases of the coke ovens. They are so rich in surprises to the everyday man that It is not very start ling to learn they contain ethylene, which by synthetic processes some what developed under the stress of war may be converted into ethyl al cohol. With the coal beds about to pro duce alcohol, and the trees of India fairly blossoming with it, the m^n witn a motor car~mny^rntet the feaffi aroused by the scientist** figures which show that we are in sight of the end of petroleum and gasoline. There is nothing like being easy in one's mind.?The Nation's Bulletin. American Buys Franklin Portrait. A portrait of Benjamin Franklin, painted in Parts ln0177S by Joseph SI frede Puplessls, and showing him as| ftiin li Parisians of that period knew, has ar rived in this country, the property of' Michael Frledsam, the New York Eve-' ning Pofct states. Franklin presented j the portrait to the Freres Perler. en-1 glneers and owners of the Chai^ot fire engine, when he left France, and it was from the J?erier family that Mr. I Frl?*'.sani purchased' It_xhis year. The portrait, whose gorgeous frame I of the period is carved in the form of a I terpen L is said to be typical of the best work ofVjMiplessls. who was made a member f the academy in 1774, and was later appointed conservator of the museum of Versailles.

The sides of the animal's head are light /awn color and the general color ation of the body Is a daFlT'purple. The most striking characteristic is that the rump, and the upper part of the legs are transversely striped with black and white.
