Newspaper Business.
(New Bern Su NJ

(Jew Bern SUM-
Considered as manufacturing en-
terprise, newspaper making is enor-
mously hazardous and absurdly un-
remunerative. With the very many
other manufacturing concerns all
over the country, the rule is that If
they don't make profits they are shut
down, but that is not SO with news
papers. They always have moral
and political reasons for clinging to
life, long after there has ceased to be
any pecuniary warrant for it. A
newspaper in these days is about as
likely to clear dividend as church
is. Competition between papers is
intense and the prices of nearly all OF
them is too low, the cost OF paper
manufacture is too high, and they
give a great deal too much for the
meagre one cent or two cents which
seems to be the standard prices now
charged for the daily issue of news

King Cotton.

(R H. Edmonds. in The Youths Companion)
The South is producing an average
of about twelve million bales Of cot
ton a year. The time is rapidly
coming when this must be increased
to twenty million bales or more to
meet the worlds requirements.
The gain in consumption will re-
ouire an average of half million
bales a year. At this gain it would
require but ten years to make it
necessary for the South to raise
seventeen million or eighteen million
bales annually.
There is no reason why the world
will not eventually need forty million
or fifty million bales or more OF
Southern-grown cotton; and with
good prices and an increase in the
labor supply, even this would not be
the limit of the South's ability.
The practical monopoly of cottor
production is potential power fo1
the South as great as would be al
equally strong domination of The
worlds iron-ore supply.
! Sooner or later, when this sectlor
fully comprehends this great power
it will make the world pay tribute
to it's Golfers, just as would England
or any other country which owned
the worlds iron ores.
By reason OF this condition cotton
g1owers ought to be the most pros
perous farmers in the world, and il
time they doubtless will be.

MAMMOTH MAPS.
Two Specially Prepared for The
Forest Service.
The GREAT WORK OF FIFTEEN MEN.
Only One Ro0m In Forest Quarters
Large Enough for Them.
(Cor. to The Commonwealth }

Washington D. c., May i, 1908.
Two unique maps Of the United
States will be used at the coming
White House conference on natural
resources. They are perhaps the
largest detailed maps of this coun-
try made by mechanical process.
Each map without its frame meas
ures twelve feet in height and six
teen feet in length, and is to all
practical intent, a mammoth photo
graph.
The only room in the quarters of
the Forest Service large enough to
accommodate the maps was the of
flee of Clifford Pinchot, the Forester,
who was accordingly driven out by
the workmen to make a place for
mounting the monster maps. The
maps will be framed and set up in
the East Room at the White House,
on either side of the platform to be
used by the presiding officer and the
speakers. The platform will be set
against the east wall midway be-
tween the north and south walls, and
both it and the maps will be in plain
view of all who attend the confer
ence.
These maps, which are now being
completed by the Forest Service,
represent the labor of fifteen men.
The time required in the manufac-
ture of each was six days and four
nights, the draughsmen working
three shifts in order to complete the
work in time for the big White House
meeting Each is counterpart of
the very complete map made and
used by the Forest Service.
The method of manufacture was
very unusual. The reproduction was
done by photography. The regular
Forest Service map, which measures
five feet by seven, was divided into
sixteen sections, and a photograph
was made of each of these sections
Each negative measured eleven by
| fourteen inches, and from each was
made by the bromide process an en-
larged print measuring about three
by four feet, of these prints there
were sixteen, which were assembled
and mounted upon strong linen.
Three men were required to handle
each sheet, and it proved a difficult
task to accurately match the sec
tions.
After the photographers had COM
pleted their work, the map was turn
ed over to the draughsmen, for
whom special draughting table had
to be made. On either side Of this
table was heavy roller, by the use
OF which the map was moved across
| the table at the convenience Of the
draughtsmen. On the maps all the
natural resources are graphically
shown and the features of special in
terest to the Conference have been
brought out boldly.

Putting Life IntO Work.
(By Irine Gardner.)


| have talked with lately.
One is something over so and
looks every year her age, because,
having passed the half century mark
she has made up her mind that her
life work is about accomplished and
all she need do now is to take q back
seat and watch the procession move
by.
The result is, this woman is unin-
teresting and unhappy. She has no
strong hold on anything, feels that
the world does not need her, and, to
uphold her pessimistic view, ,often re-
>fers to the Osler theory than which
nothing could be more absurd.
The other woman is well along in
the Cos, and when | met her one day
last week it was in her own studio.
which is one of the most famous of
it's kind in the world From it every
week are sent out photographs that
astonish even the most critical, SO ar
tistic are they, so plainly the work
of a skilled and inspired hand and
brain.
And it is this woman who poses
every subject, finishes every picture.
| saw one of the great Rodin that
made me catch my breath, so strong
and true it was, showing the mans
marvellous genius as we'll as his fea-
lures.
The gray-haired woman who had
taken that photograph and finished
it held it from her with look on her
face that fascinated me. "No won
der | feel young" she said, "for |
find my life in my work the vitality
of work is inexhaustible. Grow old?
| never think of it. / would that |
might live forever, to forever catch
the beauty / see in human beings and
reproduce it in my pictures"
Yes" in reply to a question l
had asked, 81 am married and have
quite family. Some way they have
always been woven into my work as
a part of it, although, apparently,
my home and my studio are separ-
ate. But they and l know that this
is not SO.
"There, how do you like that?"
She handed me picture of a mother
standing looking out Of a window,
her face half turned away. A boy
was standing by her side while lit
tie curly-haired girl of three, or
thereabouts, stood on the window
seat, her back turned to the room,
also looking down into the street.
The sun came flooding through the
window and bathed them all in a
glorious light.
"Oh," exclaimed, "It is wonder
full. the most beautiful photograph |
ever saw. When did you take it,"
"Only day or two ago, and |
must say l enjoyed finishing it.
Aren't the children little dears? |
love to take the picture of the little
ones"
| And so she went on, this woman of
near 10, and as she talked | thought
of that other woman, who, having
passed the half-century mark, feels
that there is little need for her in this
world.
There is no calendar except that
marked by achievement for this ar
tist l have told you about. But for
the other woman, life seems nothing
but wears, made up of months days
hours, minutes and seconds.
