Mr. Graham, who nlsn is viee jwesident of the National Associa tion of Commissioners of Agricul ture. had called on the United States Department of Agriculture ip make a survey of the machines already invented with :\ view of determining what practical merit they possessed. He announced receipt today of n letter to the effect that one of the machines had been examined by government engin-cs ’ found that it worked satisfactorily. mention teas made of tlm ).. etotion of the ntachjm'. n»r <>f ns InftTitoi, ns the ifl*Wstkr’\t ion in in a pur< lv preliminary state at this time. He made public these ex tracts, however. from a letter sign ad by C. F. Marvtn, of tlm Unit- . Sta*"® Department of Agriculture'. ! .‘‘The machine worked quite sat Wily under conditions t'-o' Jfnot ideal. The cotton picked ■The machine was as free of w j<h as that picked by hand. The machine was said to be nick me from 85 to 95 per cent of the cot ton the first time over and from 06 to 98 per cent of the cotton by going over the row twice with the machine in opposite directions. “The picker In rni nr present m Commercial production, It, however appears to have been developed to a point where it w'll pick cotton satisfactorily. "At the time the operation of tho machine was observed, the leaves on the cotton had been kdl #d by frost and fhe stalks were quite brittle. Despite this fact, the picker d’d not iniure the Gaiks very much and where a few leaves had not been killed by frost, these were not torn by the machine, which has a speed when oickine of about two and a half or three miles an hour.” Mr. Marvin, in his letter to Com missioner Graham, cor tinned: "As this cotton picker has not been placed in commercial produc tion, no information as to its prob able selling price is available. The Inventors, however, state that it Will be placed on the market next year. "The machine as now manufac tured would be well adapted for Use on plantations where there is an acreage of from 150 acreas cot ton upward, or it could he opernt , ad on a basis of so much per Ciund for picking cotton on a num r of small farms. For some months, Mr. Graham has been interested in the idea of developing a cotton picking ma chine that would save the farmers money. He has pointed out that neither ho nor his department is in n po sition to finance such an undertak ing, so he has asked the federal department to make a survey, which it has already begun, as shown by the letter above quoted.

You may or may not read much or wisely* but you read and you enjoy it. You desire a wider horizon. Now and then you find time to dip into a standard work which improves with the flight of lime and does not die with the passing hour. Here is a suggestion for you in your reading of the masters of | literature. You may have seen it before, but you will be glad to see it again: For clearness, read Macaulay. For logic, read Burke and BaecSn. For action, read Homer and Scott. I For conciseness, read Bacon and Pope. For sublimity of conception, read Milton. For vivacity, read Steveson and Kipling. For elegance, read Virgil, Mil ton and Arnold. For simplicity, read Burns, , Whittier and Bunyan. For smoothness, read Addison 1 and Hawthorne. | For interest in common things, read Jane Austen. For wisdom, read Emerson, Epictetue and Marcus Aurelius. For lofty, ennobling sentiment, for sympathing. candor and hon esty, for comfort and sonsolida tion in affection, and for the promise of the life thAt now is and of the life which is to come, read the Bible, “Ma” Pardoned More Than Were In Prison 2 Years Ago Austin, Tex.—More clemency acts were granted by Governor Miriam A. Ferguson during her two-year term, which expired j last Tuesday, than the total of the Texas prison population at s the time she assumed office. I However, the state prisons were well filled when Mrs. Ferguson stepped out of office, despite her generosity in extending clemency to convicts.

Prison officials reported to Governor Dan Moody that there were 3,053 persons still in prison, or about 250 less than ihe total when Mrs. Ferguson become gov ernor. CO EDS IN KANSAS BAN BOBBED HA I It Lawrence, Kans. Jan. 25.—The paradoxical popularity of bobbed hair has received a significant blow This latest thrust comes from coeds of the University of Kansas. These daughters of the Sunflow er state who assailed short hair as “crazy” "giddy” and even “wicked' only a few years ago, are now re i jeeting bobs—shingle,, boyish an 1 j all others—as “passe,” and are fo1 j lowing the latest Paris edicts i:i i their coiffures. Despite the fact that Miss Agnes Husband, dean of women at the uni versity, has just had hers bobbed— thereby becoming the first bobbed haired dean in the institution’s his tory—a questionnaire sent to the sorority houses reveals that more than half of the co-eds are in favor of letting their hair grow back to its original length Many already have done so.

Nashville, Tenn.—The Supreme Court of Tennessee proclaimed the fundamental soundness of the state’s famous law against teach ing the theory of evolution in state ! supported schools, and, at the same time, it reversed the verdict ; of guilty against Jno.

World’s First Bank Lived for Centuries Tile Bank of Venice, tlie first nl Its kind established in Europe, was founded in 1171. It owed Its exist ence to the long wars between llie Guelphs and I he (ihltielllnes, and the government's need of money for conducting them. Having exhaust ed every other resource, the state was obliged to resort to forced loans front Its wealthy citizens. Then was organized the Chamber of Loans, which by degrees as sumed the form of a hunk, it la said of this institution that “it was for many ages tlie admiration of Europe, the chief instrument of Venetian finance, and the chief fa cility of a commerce not surpassed be tiiat of any European nation." Funds once deposited in the bank could not be withdrawn, but were transferable at the pleasure of tlie owners upon its books. So thoroughly did Hie bank credits be come tlie means thr ugh and by which tlie financial opera tions of the people were con ducted, that Ith scarcely an exception In its entire exist ence these credits were at a pre mium over coin, the latter being often clipped and \yorn, as well us being of various countries and un certain values. The Bunk of Venice continued without any interruption until the Venetian republic was overthrown by the Uevol'U'^NUiry army of France in 1"«T Gold Varies in Color; Is Not Really Yellou) Strictly speaking, sold is not yel low In color. It merely appears so, but, being a metal and gen erally with a bright surface, It acts as u reflector and throws back quite a lot of the white light that falls on it, according to the Phil adelphia Iteeord. This reflected white light, which Is not part of the color of gold, di lutes the metal's real color, making it appear yellow. Tim real color of the gold, metallurgists say, Is a deep orange, entirely .different from tlm familiar yellow. iiut this precious metal has other colors as well as yellow and orange. ! <1 round into a line powder pure gold becomes a ruby red. ^ \ Everybody bus seen this ruby color at one time or another, though they may not have been aware that It was the color of gold they were looking at. it Is seen In tlie ruby glass used for photographic dark-room lamps, the minute-particles of gold added to the glass imparting their deep color. Think This Over When you feci unkindly toward the man you work fm—when your i heart is full of resentment and your head full of revenge, stop and take i u personal Inventory. There are always two sides to u I situation. 1 You are not all wrong; and if this be true. Is it not reasonable to assume that the man you work for is not all wrong? No person on earth can do good work with a single head full of malice and two hands that are closed like fists. After you have considered care fully that your hostility is justi fied— after you conscientiously weigh .yourself and you are satis fied that you are all right In every particular—after you feel that the man you work for is wrong in every particular, the only thing left to do Is to resign.—New Zea land Traveler. Jews Protested Stamp Act Although no list of signers lias been found of the New York agree ment of merchants to make all past arid future orders for Ilritlsh merchandise contingent on the re peal of the stamp act, it Is be lieved that the .Jewish merchants of the city of that day Joined with their follow business men. The original agreement entered Into by Philadelphia merchants, however, shows that -the leading Jews of that city were among the signers. They were Mathias Hush, David Frunk:i, Hernurd tirntz, Michael tirati, Joseph Jacobs, Pcnjamlu Levy, Hyman Levy, ,Tr„ Sana*® Levy and Moses Mordeeal. Singing Insects The ancient Greeks kept olcndne ! In cages for the sake of their songs. They were favorites with most Greek poets. A cicada sitting on a hnrp was a usual emblem of mus ic. In explanation of which there was a story of two rival musicians, Kunomus ami Arlston, the former of whom broke a string of his harp one day when competing with the latter. A cicada, however, flew to j his rescue and sitting upon the I harp supplied the place of the hro ! ken string and so won him the vie* I tory. fa lire thinks the Greek cl I endue would be crickets.
