American Opportunity.

, A bulletin from the bureau OF manu-
factures OF the department OF com.
merce and labor shows that, while the
United States has made extraordinary
progress in many directions, there
still are fields in which this country
ss greatly exce,,ed by others. The
manufacture Of laces, especially of the
inner varieties, appears not to have
been developed here as abroad. The
statistics are interesting The people
or the United States last year pur-
chased laces worth no less than SEQ.
100000, for American women are
among the most prodigal buyers OF
this form OF adornment. OF this total
more than 80 per cent was imported
This is fine thing for the European
lacemakers, who find their best mar.
ket In the United States, but econolni-
cally speaking the showing is most un.
satisfactory. Lace-making is one Of
the arts and crafts that should be
capable of development in this coun.
try, and thus highly important addi.
ion could be made TO our industries
The bulletin in question hints al
something OF this sort when pointing
out the fact that the various old-world
countries make very handsome profits
out OF lace, although the cotton and
cotton thread which are the raw ma,
terials" are bought abroad and i'm.
ported subject TO duty. The United
States 10 the great cotton-growing
country OF the world, and with an
abundant supply of such material at
home should be among the foremost
IN producing and selling fine cotton
products. Such information as that
IN the bulletin from the bureau OF
manufactures should set Americans
thinking.

nobody any concern. The conditions
which brought about this proposed

Lack of unity. said Rev. w. H.
Barnes of Dayton. in closing the ses-

at the Christian church last night, Is
the cause of the lack of results in
home missionary work III this part OF
the country. In this part of the coun-
try the garden spot of the earth, Rev.
Harris said there was much which
could and should be done. but all the
missionary societies are working at
cross purposes. Unity was the only
remedy. This was also emphasized in
1.-THE paper ~ cad by l.. p. Schooling of
Pullman yesterday afternoon.
Altogether, the rally was sue
|cessful one and those Who had the
movement in charge believe that much
good will result from the meeting.
Many helpful papers were read and
suggestions were, made along the line
of home missionary work which VIII
prove of inestmable value to those
who attended.
