KING HOWARD of Lotting tor., says up to ten days ago they had the brightest prospect for cotton crop, but since the ral set in a new crop of weevils has appeared nnd threaten Its destrir tion. If tho rains hold up and the farmers can continue the us- poison cotton will yet be saved. In discussing their cheese factory, In Hays they are now getting about 225 gallons of milk a day but wher the school opens and children cai bring in milk, the supply win prob ably increase. They make about nine cakes of cheese a day. It only takes about three hours to turn the milk into cheese but the cheese must be given about three wqks to cure for use. It Is thought that when the milk supply increases the factory will begin to make money. The Lcxjngton cheese factory, in- lading lot, building and entire plant cost about $2,000. The banks ndvanced fanners money to start it. About 85 per cent of the milk Is returned to the farmers in the shape of whey and this makes fl very fine chicken nnd hog feed. MR. BILL ASH, one of our old- est nnd oest posted cotton men, says if farmers can get 25 cent* for their new crop of cotton they will do well. The chnotic situation In Europe, with Its depreciated currency; has its effect on price of the staple. England Is using Egyptian cotton for coarse fabrics, and we must largely de pend on American mills for buy ers. But of course no one car foretell what the price will be. MR.

Robinson Crusoe Is In Ill Repute in Saxony; Speech, Cause (By Associated Press) BERLIN—Old Robinson Crusoe is In ill depute in Saxony. In a lecture to his clafit In the Leipzig public Urcf. R!eh?.rd Crusoo ns an example of what per sistency would accomplish, point ing out that he was not afraid to work little overtime now and. then when occasion, demanded. ••Germany today,” said the pro fessor, “cut off from the wofld as we are, might be compared with Crusoe nnd his islund. But we must not despair. We muot keep hopes and our faith In the future. Crusoe accomplished things. Ho didn’t cense work one monute when the shadow of the sundial came around to the hour of noon or six o’clock. We Germane should not be afraid tc Work over time now that fcnd times nre upor us. Remember Crusoe, and bear In mind also our mothers at home In the kitchens, who in the summer often labor from sun rise unti' long after dark. If we follow these lends we shall he able In the end to hold together.” Tho day after the lecture th< professor received a letter from n socialist member of ithe school board taking him to task for hie .talk, which the socialist considered nn attack npon te eight-hour priiv clple. The board member took oc casicn to remark that if Crusoe worked more than eight hours dally it was because there was noth Jng else to do during those dayt and nights he was on the island, or probably because Crusoe did no! know any better.
