Mr. Daniel J. Sully, the leading

of 1903 at bales, and
offers to bet that crop
does not reach 10,000.000 bales.
Up to Jan. 8th, 1904, there had
been, according to New York
exchange receipts from all j
mill takings and all

bales, against j

bales more this year than j

not in the country and cannot be

Farmer Jenkins had a handsome

She gave more milk than any other

old farmer declared he would not
take a bucketful of money for her.
Well, they had a big cow show, a
Country fair, and Former Jenkins
decided to take his cow there and
win the prize. Now, what do you
suppose that cow did Why, she
simply made up her mind not to
take the prize for fear she would be

The record was not unusual.-
Less than one penny in a thousand
finds its way back to the treasury
to be exchanged for a newer coin.
Dimes, quarters, halves and
even nickels come back In large
quantities, but the copper cents

that the pennies are simply lost.

people that they have not time to
keep track of the pennies,
they find their way into the ash-
into sewers, and
to the great rivers and even
the sea.
