Last week three more feminine autobiographies were published. The silliest of the new crop was a muddled concoction called And I'd Do If Again, written with a lurid, Sunday-supplement archness, by a daughter of the wealthy and picturesque Crocker family of San Francisco, detailing her travels in the Far East, her love affairs with a Japanese baron, a Chinese tyrant, a Borneo chieftain and a four-yard boa constrictor named Kaa.

"The most significant development in cotton in the season just drawing to a close," said he, "is the fact that the Government is rapidly on the way out of the market. Less than a year ago the Government held approximately 6,000,000 bales of spot and future cotton...
...servants, "that the time has come to challenge the policies which, under the twelve years of Republican rule, fostered the growth of private monopolies and subsidized them by exclusive privileges of tariff protection. We challenge those policies which under three years of Democratic rule aimed to check, balance and supplement these private monopolies by State-created monopolies and to create new private monopolies based on more legal privileges and subsidies...
