thing over five hundred barrels-
of syrup and are still bringing
it in every day this week anti
very likely we will get a thousand
barrels next Saturday. The
price is very good, .it ranges frohn
81 to 33 cents. The cane crop is
extra good this year and the out
look now is that Cairo will get
something like fifteen thousand
barrels this season, and too., our

TIRED OF ‘‘TRIAL'’ MARRIAGE
—— '
Colored Man Fell Into the Trap and
Had Had Nothing But
Tribulation.
“T’anky, ash; t’anky!" gratefully
•aid a ramshackle-looking colored citi
zen who had percolated into the office
of a prominent attorney of Polkvllle,
Arkansas. "And die yuh am what yo’
kin do for muh, cuhnel, if yo* please; I
wants to git dls trial marriage dat I’s
Into busted up so’s I kin git out’n it

“Trial marriage ?’’ echoed the
legal luminary.

FATTENER OF SPRING POETS
Farmer Took Them Lean and Mourn
ful and Taught Them Life le
Worth Living.
“That feller, settin’ on the fence
yonder,” said the local historian of
rural life, “has plowed more spring
poets than any farmer in the settle
ment.”
“Plowed them?”
“Yes; learn’t ’em how to plow—how
to run a straight furrow and manage
a Georgia mule. Plowed ’em, an’ fat
tened ’em, and made ’em know that
life’s wuth livin’. They come loafin'
rpun\ lean as a razor-back shoat, ah’
hungry . an’ lonesome, tingin’ songs
l>out trees an’ flowers, an’ cowbells,
an* cool grass, an’ Lord knows what,
an* that feller takes ’em in’ an’ aston
ishes ’em with three meale a day—
lets ’em hang roun’ easy, un’ rest
up for a week, mebbe, then puts ’em
to plowin’, with hoein’ on the side
for recreation,' an’' before you know,
they’re too fat to sing!
"You see, these here poet-fellers
never do none o’ that melancholy
writin* or ’singin”, as they call It,
’cept when they’re short on vlttles,
an’ as holler as a dead tree; then
they feel that the world owes ’em
a living’, but they ain’t gittin’ it, an’
midnight owls can’t heat ’em at com-
plalnlh*. But you jest work ’em an*
fattenv’em, an* there’s change in their
dispositions an’ life looks, as bright as
a.UorfehMght 'procession to ’em. 'bid
der singin’ ’bout beautiful trees, they
git healthy exercise euttin* ’em down,
an' they soon find that a breakfast of
ham an' eggs is fur an' away ahead of
rose-leaves an’ dreama.
“Here come two new ones—them
leen-looking chaps, climbin’ the fence.
Watch that farmar git ’em!“—Atlan
ta Constitution.
Down Where Itfe Hot.
The deepest bobs in the world up
to date is the boring begun ten yean
ago at Csnchow. Silesia, with the ob
ject of attaining a- depth of 9,509 me
ters, and' which has now reached a
depth of 2,240 meter* (7,842 feat).
The bore is 44 centimeters in diam
eter at the top, and diminishes pro
gressively to five'centimeters. ' Meas
urements'of temperature have been
made regularly. At 2,220 meters the
temperature le 88.4 degrees C. (182
degrees F.). This gives a “geother
mic degree” (amount of descent cor
responding to a rise of temperature
of 1 degree C.) of 31.8 meters. The
change of temperature does not pro
ceed uniformly. In fact, an interest
ing “temperature inversion” occurs be
tween the depths of 840 and 730 me
ters, where the temperature actually
falls, with descent, about two degrees.

Advertising as Money Saver.
The greatest possible testimony that
advertising Is an economy to the con
sumer is the fact that the great ma
jority of woman purchasers of the
world favor advertised goods. Women
are acknowledged to be good buyers.
If ihey felt they did not receive full
value for their money, In advertised
goods, they would not buy them.
