The rsutt hi that tuvch money Is kept al huuu: that formerly went Into the poukett of the gamblers,. ' ; Lt, Is nut wise for 'sev'era4- reasons for farmers to- sell their cotton be fore they make it.

After they had found out that lh?' cotton crop would be short- t4*i#-y?ar many 'speculators went through tht couitlrjr making contracts with farm era to sell their crop for future de livery at ten cents. Here is the way the advance sales turned out in I'nloii county as told by the .

STRAWS At 'the foot of The snow-capped i mountains of Himalaya there was oncea town called Kusalasaa. \ 1 1 It waa two score yojanaa from the , ! groat realm of Kapllavastu. A~~wlld rrtowa it was. with few occupations . i other than those of hunting -and agrl ' culture. A few there were who re j talned gome religion. >ut they were, * ' in a way. shunned.' | Gradually these people moved farther away from Kuaalaasa and the ? > wild people took possession of their ' | deserted* fields. Then there were i -j skirmishes between t&e two paruea, | - ' and once or twice a man was killed, j but they thought nothing of that. The , I raiders were called Sabbat, and at. , I first disliked their appellation, but as | time Vore on they came to rejoice In j It and. out of spite, termed their ene 1 mles KusalaeeaK. Now. ? the skirmishes became itiGre | frequent and bloody; Ull finally there [ occurred a real battle. In which arrow and ((word did such good seryice that one-fourth of the Sabbas and one-third of the Kusalasaas lost their lives, but the latter, though outnumbered, won. The smell of attar and savory dishee waa everywhere to bo noticed. Before the Image of Ganeeha, the chief deity of these people, stood a rod ram awaiting the butcher's knlfer The crowd of anxious spectators latently as the priest-butcher ap proached, a silver-handled knife in his hand. Then the incense arose more strongly, and there were . cries to O^nesha to accept the sacrifice. ? Suddenly from those about the image there came two people, a man and^a woman. The woman, in black -attire, her head covered with a Veil. rlnntr f'n fha mnn'q arm The man. carrying a short sword made of talas wood, stepped. up to the priest and said in a steady voice: "0, | priest! Before thou slayest Mesha, the ram, I wouhi say that I have come 1 hither to wed^?utangana. whom thou Beest by my slde^ promised three moons-ego to wed after l "should have slain a Sabba. The battle of to-day has brought our wishes taJfrultlaiLL' Then many more stopped forward, bearing sweet cakes and bags of grain and one had a bbr-i cf ml'.'t. " ? *? ? ? ' It seemed to have been premeditat-v. ed, for every one had something fo^J the bride and groom. A feast was soon spread, the guests' seated and the red ram's throat Slltr The priest cau{$lf"tbe blo'od and sprin kled It upon the surface of the milk. Then two rice straws were produced and dropped upon the reddened liquor. Sulangana. end he** future husband, named Devatang. watched the Btraws anxious, for if they met It signified love till death. A shower of rice was . thrown over the two and attar was Fprinkled over the Boar of the house' Oif f'.nnp^ha Now the fateful moment was at , band. ' 7 The strawB floated ever neif^r 10 | each other t>ut they floated slowlyv A breeze from the doorway, and Just -as .the two straws were about to touch they were blown wide apart. A stifled scream from Sulangana, a- groan from .Devatang, a murmur from the guests, a shake of the head from the priest; the blood-stained milk was still and the straws moved not Sulangana sank to her knees. Meanwhile, the dead bodies on the field wwe being gathered and placed 7>'n nWM mm in, .i.w wood and felled trees, while the all very moon looked calmly on. Soon the nauseating odor of burned flesh filled the air, was wafted Into the It overpowered the odor of attar. Many people left the place with heavy hearts, for the signs portended no good, i mi i j' i 1 1 nl I llli wiwwjnn Qena sha 'stared sullenly upon the two peo ple, watching Intently the motionless rice-straws. Two anxious hours passed-; the straws remained motionless. Then with a shriek Sulangana faint ed.
