Whiskey Costs Only
12c a Gallon
MARKET REPORTS
A Kansas City Man Has Published a
Book, Giving ‘'the- Formula By
Which the Whiskey Trust Makes
Their $5 Per Gallon Whiskey
For Only 12c Per Gallon.
Fights the Whiskey Trust by Mailing'
His Book Containing* Formula Free
To Every One.
Mr. Marcel, locatvd at 048 Broadway, Kansas
City, Mo., has published a book entitled “Secrets
of the Whiskey Trust Exposed;” and “Why Is
Marcel a Socialist;” in which'he shows how the
whiskey trust takes a bushel of corn, a pinch
of barley malt, a penny's worth of yeast, and
makes five gallons of whiskey at a total cost of
less than 50c: and then sells it at from four
to five dollars a gallon. He explains how the
whiskey barons make their millions and shows
who pays for their mansions and automobiles.
The book is a fascinating story of a great crime
against the consumers of whiskey.
Mr. Marcel is mailing out thousands of these
books exposing the secrets of the whiskey trust
on account of the Trust's fight against him. Any
one Interested should write for the book, as it
will be sent free.—<Advt.)

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 27.—Cotton futures
opened steady at an advance of 3 to 7 points
on cold and wet weather in the cotton region
and promise of continued low temperatures.
Buying was based more on the interference
with picking than on actual damage to the
ulaut by low temperatures. The market dis
played little life In the early trading; prices
went to a level 5 to 8 points over Saturday’s
close, but after that sagged off on lack of
support from the bull side. The fact that to
morrow is a legal holiday in this market served
to restrict business! At the end of the first
half hour of trading prices were 1 to 4 points
over Saturday’s last quotations.
The market developed little life at any tim©
during the morning session. Few buying or
ders came in and the bears claimed that the
market acted tired. Extremely unfavorable
crop accounts from many points In the belt
i failed to arouse fresh purchases. It was evi
dent at times that some long cotton was being
liquidated. Under this and moderate short
selling based on the theory that a reaction was
due the market fell of, standing at noon
six to seven points under Saturday’s final fig
ure*. * •

HAYWARD & CLARK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 27.—Weather develop
ments over Sunday were unfavorable. Precip
itation was general over the western and cen
tral states, followed by a severe cold wave in
the western states with freezing weather to
southwest Texas, and heavy frost to south
Texas. Indications are for heavy to kiling
frost to come on the central states tonight and’
rains followed by colder weather for the east
ern states.
Rain and warmer weather is indicated to
come on Texas by Wednesday, followed by a
still more severe cold wave towards the latter
port of the week which should cover the entire
belt.
Further production now seems altogether out
of the question ami, as those interchanging
rainy and cold spelis follow so rapidly, the
damage to crops not yet harvested is increased.
Liverpool was fully up with futures as much
as twelve points higher; spots five points
higher; sales, 7,000. Our market opened about
five points higher, buf eased on realizing and
on New York showing *a disposition towards

ENS have made an average
of-135 egg's each, with 46 .
days yet to lay. The aver
age and the highest pen record
will exceed those of last year. The
English Leghorns will doubtless
win. Lady Showyou heard from.
The hens In the ‘National Egg
Laying contest at the Missouri
State Poultry experiment station
have already made a higher aver
age than the hens did In the first
contest, and they have forty-six
days yet In which to lay before the
contest closes. The English S. 0.
White Leghorns from Tom Bar
ron, of Catforth, England, seem
certain to win. There has not been
a month during the year that this
pen has not been among the ten
highest pens for that month. The
highest Individual hen bo Jar is
No. 860, a Buff Wyandotte from
Vermont. This hen has laid 249
eggs and has forty-six days yet to
lay. It is not probable that the
individual record will be as high
as that of Lady Showyou of last
year.
♦ The friends and admirers of
Lady Showyou will be glad, I am sure, to hear what this hen has done
this year. In reply to an Inquiry as to how this remarkable hen
was doing this year, we received a letter from Mr. John G. Poorman,
of Tinley Park, Ill., who now owns this hen, and this Is what he
had to say:
“Regarding Lady Showyou, will state that she Is the most re
markable hen I ever saw. She never has been in good plumage, has
not gone broody, and has been laying right along. I hatched 101
chicks from 112 of her eggs. She Is laying now an egg every other
day. She has laid over 170, She has not been sick a day. It seems
as though she delights in being alone. She Is continually on the go
from morning until night. Yours truly,
(Signed) “JOHN G. POORMAN.”
This hen has never gone broody in two years. Broodiness is one
thing which it will pay anyone to try to breed out of his flock as
far as possible if he expects to breed up a good laying strain.
There has been a grand total of 94,188 eggs laid to date. The
record for September was 6,424 eggs. Pen No. 26, Buff Wyandottes,
from Eagleville, Mo., won the silver cup for the highest record for
September.
THE THIRD ANNUAL CONTEST.
The following countries will be represented In the next contest:
Six pens from New Zealand; three pens from England; three pens
from Australia; one pen from Germany; two pens from Vancouver
Island; one pen from South Africa; two pens from Canada and sixty-
six pens from Missouri and the United States.
The following varieties will he represented:
S: C. Buff Leghorns, S. C. White Leghorns,
Ancorias, Campines,
Rhinelanders, , S, C. Black Minorcas,
R. C. Black Minorcas, S. C. Reds,
R. C. Reds, Barred Plymouth Rocks,
White Plymouth Rocks, Buff Plymouth Rocks,
Silver Wyandottes, White Wyandottes,

Black Langshans.
There can be no question as to the value of egg laying competi
tions if they are properly and honestly conducted. With egg laying
contests and, experiment stations trying to Solve the question of egg
production, and with poultry shows encouraging the production of
pure bred poultry of good shape and color, we feel, with these forces
combined, that there are greater things in store in the. future for
those who keep poultry for profit. Just as time has proven honestly
conducted poultry shows to be of great value in improving the shape
and color of our fowls, Just so will honestly conducted egg laying
contests prove to be of great value in stimulating an Interest in
greater egg production. These two forces must go hand in hand.
Dr. Pearl, of the Maine experiment station, in his address before the
American Poultry association at Atlantic City, said i
It is safe to say that never nas there been so keen and widespread
an interest in the improvement of poultry in respect to egg production
as exists at the present time. All over the world poultry keepers are
waking to the fact that some hens lay more eggs than others; that It
costs no more' to hatch, rear and care for those which lay more, and
that they want this sort in their'flocks.
“There would seem to be little' doubt that this awakening is due
in considerable degree, at least, to the rapid development during the
last ten yearU of egg laying contests in different part's of the world.
We are indebted for the inauguration of such contests on a large scale
to the enterprise of the Australians. In recent years we have seen
their development In this country. It seems likely that we shall see a
much further growth of the laying contest Idea in the United States as
well as in European countries. To be sure some of our friends' of the
poultry press, who apparently see little or no value in laying tests of
any sort, have been predicting that the laying competition has about
run its course and that the end is now in sight; that we are, in point of
fact, witnessing its last decline before utter extinction. Unprejudiced
observation, however, would seem to indicate that these contests make
a strong appeal to the poultry public. It is difficult to conceive of any
single measure better calculated to arouse general interest in poultry
keeping; and to call attention to the results which follow good care
and breeding. In other words, the educational value of laying contests
would seem to he beyond question. That they can he so conducted as
to contribute to existing knowledge of the laws of egg production also
beyond doubt.”
