first section of it is named “Night
and Dawn,” by its author, Miss
Conger. It is as follows.
Night and Dawn
My soul a sea gull
Flashing on foam-flecked pinions;
Rising on mountain waves;
Leaping out of the valleys,
Knowing the cold, wet winds
That rise from the sea;
Watching the phosphorous
Shaken from the silken shoulders
of seals.
Throwing a thread of song into the
night air.
As fishermei®cast their baited books
No walls save those of starlit sky—
Below, the darkened mysteries of the
sea-fingers for the moon
And I alone,
To taste the salt ambrosia from
blue cups.
My soul a sea gull.

CH THE WEEKLIES
It will interest some local mer-
chants to know that the large mall
order houses have a force of girls
whose sole duty is to examine coun-
try newspapers and report on the
local advertising they carry.
In towns where the local merch-
ants are poor advertisers thex mail
order man concentrates his fire. He
avoids the town in which the local
merchants are sufficiently astute to
keep the trade at home.
Mail order competition need never
be serious if the local merchant is
alive to his opportunities.
Not long ago in the middle west,
one enterprising merchant facing the
mail order difficulty bought certain
articles from a mail order concern
and displayed them in his store
alongside similar articles he him-
self handled, and he soon proved to
the public that they saved money by
county every month hereafter a de-
tailed report of births occurring in
the various counties.

College Station, Texas, May 23.—
The new cotton standards which have
been issued by the United States
government as official for use in in-
terestate and foreign commerce after
August 1, 1923, will be taught in the
summer cotton classing school of the
A. & M. College of Texas. Copies
of the law defining the new stand-
ards have been received by Professor
J. B. Bagley, head of the Department
of Textile Engineering, who will con-
duct the summer school and they are
now ready for distribution to all who
are interested. Much complaint has
been made by cotton men of the south
because of the early date at which the
new standards will be required. It
will mean a readjustment of buying
methods, and for this reason it is
expected that there will be an un-
usual number of cotton buyerg who
will desire to study the new stand-
ard at the A. & M. Cotton School
this summer. For this reason plans
are being made to secure a number
of additional instructors who are
familiar with the new standards.
These will be experienced cotton men.
The summer school is the official
cotton school of the state, since it is
recommended by the State Depart-
ment of Warehouses and Markets as
the proper means of preparing for
the state examination for licence to
buy cotton. Classing, handling of,
all cotton papers, bookkeeping and!
cotton mill running are taught by
experts in each diviaien of the busi-
ness.
