The assort ment of sizes in the Ladles’ Suits and Coats and in the Chil dren’s Suits is somewhat incomplete, but many or the smartest styles are represented, and perhaps the very size yon want Is here.

Large Additions to Our Navy This Year--*‘lda- ho” Nearest Approach to “Electrical War Ship.” • «* *• Washington, Jan. 6.— 1 This year the lUflted States navy not .only makes its greatest gain in ships—it also adds to our fighting strength the most effi cient, the fastest, nnd the best equip ped warships ever floated. Before the yen* is out seven big battleships, four armored cruisers and two.protected cruisers will be added to the United Stat«p navy, if the pres ent rate of construction is maintained. This will be the greatest increase in any one year of the history o* the American navy, and it will advance materially the rank of the United States as a naval power. All the new vessels represent the highest type nnd vll that is modern in naval architecture. The battleships to bo added within the year afre the Virginia. Nebraska. Georgia, New Jer sey, Rhode Tslan*. Connecticut and battleship afloat, but as ;ast as any ship of her class in any navy. When the Louisiana tV other day easily exceeded her lequired speed, making 18.924 knots, the performance was hailed as a remarkable achievement, hut the Virginia’s record was never in s.erious danger, and is not likely 1o be exceeded by the Idaho, the lav* bat- Unship to be launched, whose speed requirement Is only 17 Jcnots. , In other respects, however, the Idaho, though smaller, will be a more up-to-date 3hlp than some of her con- sorts. She is even better equipperthan the Mississippi, which was launched In September. Electricity <Js used aboard the Idaho to a greater extent than ever before attempted on a war ship. Her watertight bulkhead doors of the “Long Arm” system are closed by electricity from the pilot Jiouse, thus giving assurance that the will be rendered unsinkable In case o* emergency at sea. In this respect the latest American warship, over 30 in all, have an immense advnatage over any other nation’s navy. For the machinery to be operated , by electricity, the wires pasa through | indestructible steel tubes, with sep- ( a rate connections at every gab.. The purpose of this equipment is to make it impossible for a foe to disable the nmr*1iInoi*v tfew Orleans, Jan. G.—The first an- rual, convention of the do-idnni Cot ton Growers’ Association, wh’.ch will be held here January 11, 12 and 1*3,' will probably break all records in the annals’of agricultural meeting?;, bolh in attendance and in promi nence. Thus far a surprisingly large number o hotel »*esorvations have been made, indicating that many prominent and wealthy planters will participate in the proceedings. Care ful selection has' been made in the mattetf of platform timber and none but those men best qualified through experience and training have been requested to addr«-«s the delegates on timely and interesting topics. During the pant v ear or two the cotton growing industry has under gone some radical changes through which the balance of power has fal len to the farmer. This is the result, primarily, of the improved financial status of the cotton /producer; sec ondly, o 9 the immensely augmented spinners' requirements for raw cot ton. With these conditions as a work ing basis, the Southern farmers have through education, practical demon stration and. a newly developed bust n'688 sagacity, swept away the arbi trary domination of the spinner and the speculator, completely upset the time-honored market methods which favored the spinner and the specula tor, ancVbrought the export buyer of actual cotton to the interior, thus eliminating a large class of middle men who for nearly a year have not shared in any of the profits the business. There are many farmers In the South who realize that they are now marketing their cotton under chang ed and very much improved condi tions, but very few of them under stand fully just what has happened nor how these alte^d conditions may be made permanent and further im proved upon. These subjects jvill be discussed • fully at the convention next week, and a^conservative cam paign for the future will fce mapped out. Another subject that will receive sneclal attention is that of diversifi cation, or rather the'.growing and raising on each farm of a larger per centage of the food stuffs, feed, cat tle and other requirements of tho 'armer, thus, even in off years, ren dering him more independent of the cotton market than he is now with money in the hank. Money in the hank represents actual cash earning power which may be turned to full account when slow marketing of cot ton is necessary. Only when the far mer through his own home enterprise and good management has a well fill ed barn,' smoke-house and pantry, when his home-brrd horses, mules and cattle cover his pastures, and when he Is called upon to pay only minimum profits to some other man for the things he needs on his farm. The farmers of the North and West have long ago learned the personal value o 9 such thrift, and have profit ed immensely thereby. At the convention the delegates will be given the benefit of personal experience along these lines, as they will also be shown the effect of large and small cotton crops on the spin ner and the world’s trade in manu factured goods, the,rapldly inc. basing importance of Japan as a consumer THE CHURCHES.
