dent of the Hollywood Chamber of
Commerce, revealed Sunday,

money will be used for charitable or-
ganisations working for the relief of

the hands of Galloway, who tele-
graphed the invitation and details to
Washington.

The announcement has been made
that Texas natural gas from the Bur-
nett ranch will be supplying Kansas
City within a year. A twenty-inch gas
line is to be laid from the ranch to
Kansas City. It is also said that Tex-
as Christian University will profit to
the extent of $75,000 a year from the
varying out of the contract for gas
development of the Burnett lands, ly-
ing in the Carson county section of
the Texas Panhandle. “And this is not

grades of grease are used in lubri-

becomes hot, it melts and gets on the

faulty brakes, for as soon as the oil

they will not function properly anc
as it dries it collects dirt and grit,
and causes them to grab badly.

is considered that about 65 per cent

erate their mills because of the high
price of cotton. Now the government
of Egypt, which is England’s chief special tools
reliance for cotton outside of Amer-
ica, is preparing a bill to limit the
growing^of that staple to one-third
the acreage of cultivatable land.
Egyptian growers complain, as have
American growers, that they are not
receiving an adequate price for their
cotton. Another reason for the con-
templated limitation in Egypt ig that
water and acreage are needed for
other crops, and that cotton exhausts
the soil.
The action in Egypt appears to re-
semble greatly the action with re-
spect to rubber whose production was
limited. But the difference is that
most of the consumption of Egyptian
cotton is in England, whereas the
rubber consumption is in America, en-
tirely outside the empire. The result
can be no other than to increase the
Price of Egyptian cotton, which ii
one of the admitted objects of the lim
itation, and thereby to increase the
Price which-English mills must pay
for Egyptian cotton.
This does not, in fact, mean a great
deal to England, as most of commer-
cial yams produced by Lancashire
mills are of American cotton, which
is of more usable grade. Bat it does
tend to destroy the hope of British
spinners that eventually they will' be
able to develop within the empire a
source of cheap cotton supply which
would liberate them from dependence
on America. It tends to suggest that
if the English mills, are to operate
profitably they will have to increase
their efficiency, aggi also to suggest
that American textiles may gain at
the expense of the English—Ex.
A GOVERNOR WHO
SERVES FOR NOTHING
There is one Governor in the United
States who receives no salary, ft is
the opinion of Massachusetts that it
is worth $10,000 a year to obtain the
services of a Governor, and Governor
Fuller is sent checks regularly at that
cedar tree by L. W. Mayes, who is 64
years old. The carring was done with
special tools made by Mr. Mayes . u„
from a file and a screwdriver. All the rate. But he never cashes them nr»

that an offer of $300 has been refused ~
for the instrument. This is the first
violin made by Mr. Mayes, who is not
a musician. He says he will make two
more instruments, another violin and
a guitar, both out of walnut timber.
He made the cedar violin in thirty
days.

A FUZZLESS PEACH DEVELOPED
During his lifetime Luther Bur-
bank did many wonderful things in
the control of plant life. But he did .......-
not develop a fuzzleas peach. It may i cumbent
never have occurred to him to try to
do so, although the fuzz on peaches
has long been deplored.
Nevertheless the fuzzless peach
now has been brought forth. It was
developed by E. L. Endicott of Villa
Ridge near Carbondale, 111. He did
it by tree grafting experiments. Bur-
bank may have been directly re-
sponsible for that, or he may have
had nothing to do with it—Miami
Herald. -r
There is no reason to assume that
Governor Fuller is grandstanding. If
he were doing that, he would draw
his salary with a flourish and indorse
it over to charity, taking care to see
that the newspapers got wind of it.
But he has, apparently, made a prac-
tice of serving the public without
charge because he is able to do so and
because he has some old-fashioned
ideas that the honors and opportune
ties of an office for usefulness are
the substance of its value to the in-
Exchange.
