Shoddy in Much Less Demand

greater part of this increase took
place during the second half of the
decade; in fact, the increase of over
$100,000,000 in the five years since
1904 is far greater than that of any
decade prior to 1900 in the history
of the industry.
The quantity of wool consumed, in
condition purchased, increased from
330,179,000 pounds to 474,751, 900
pounds, or A per cent; reckoned on
secured wool basis, the increase was
so per cent. The quantity of raw cot
ton consumed decreased from 40,245,-
600 pounds to 2O,055,O0O pounds, or
so per cent, while the amount of
cotton yarn purchased increased
from 35,343,000 pounds to $4,000
pounds, or IL per cent. The net re-
suit is a decided decrease in the
amount of cotton used as a material
by wool manufacturers.
The figures also show a marked de.
crease in the use of shoddy. The
cent. and the amount manufactured
in wooden mills for use therein fell
of 10 per cent.
This is explained by the fact that
the manufacture of worsted fabrics,
into which shoddy does not enter as a
material to any appreciate extent,
has increased enormously, while the
quantity of wooden fabrics in which
shoddy is utilized was actually less
in 1909 than in 1899.

from the beginning, and soon all the
distressing symptoms passed away. No

VIZ ASHINGTON.-W it comes to

nc economy, there is no man living
who has anything on Representative
j. Hampton Moore of Philadelphia.
He has completed a list of Injuries
which shows that the candy con-
sumed in a single year represents
the cost of complete chain of canals
from Boston to Key West; that the
jewelry sold represents twice the cost
of building the Panama canal, and
that the nickels annually dropped on
soda water counters are sufficient to
establish a complete inland water
way system.
The statistics with which Represent
alive Moore backs his assertions are
colossal. They represent his investi-
cation into the reason for the high
cost Of living, and prove that the in
dividual himself is in a large meas
ure responsible for the decline of the
dollars value.

A BAD CHECK
MAN, GIVING NAME As N. n. HoL-
LAND, IS ALLEGED TO HAVE
suNcoED A. n. BAKER our or
SIS.

Pensacola seems to be a favored spot
for all kinds of confidence men, bogus
check operators, ct :. The latest stunt
pulled on along this line occurred We'd
nesday afternoon. according to the re-
ports at the police station, but by the
time the police station was notified Of
the occurrence the alleged swindler
had shaken the dust Of this city from
his feet.
A well dressed man, giving his name
as N. H. Holland, was in the city We'd
nesday, claiming to represent the Prime
Turpentine Co, of Vance, Ala, and is
alleged to have secured $25 from A. H.
Baker, president Of the Baker Turpen-
tine Cup and Gutter Manufacturing
Co.. on a worthless check. 1t is claimed
that Holland first placed an order for
about 81 900 worth of turpentine cups
with Mr.. Baker, makingsa payment Of
5000 on same with check. Later In
the day he is said to have asked Mr..
Baker to cash check for SIS. which
he readily did.
Holland was around town Wednes-
day night making acquaintance and
among the people he was introduced to
was a detective, but II was not known
at that time that he had cashed a
worthless check, or that he was wanted
in Alabama on similar charges,
although both reports were made TO
Holland spent Wednesday night at
the Florida hotel and is said to have
left an early call and to have been
walked up at an early hour and Is sup
posed to have left the city on the east
bound train yesterday morning. He is
said to have told the clerk at the hotel
yesterday morning that IL Mr.. Baker
called for him that he would be in at
II o'clock, which was. of course, sew
eral hours after the train for the east
left this city.
Holland is said to have approached
some OF the naval stores firms in the
city. but II seems that they knew him,
or his record, and he did not succeed
in securing anything from any OF them
Holland Is described as a man of
about thirty-fve, flve feet six inches
tall. weight about 140 pounds, dark
soft hair and very little, II any mus
tache. He wore a light suit OF clothes
and a black soft hat.

~ AesoeIated Press.

Ottawa, Ont, Sept. 21.-The compile
tion of Canada's fifth census begun in
June will show a total population con-
siderably under 100000 according. to
an official calculation.
The Official figures will be made pub
lilo In a few days, as soon as the re-
turns are in for the northwest districts.
Toronto and Montreal have made the
largest percentage OF gain and the lat
ter the largest gain In numbers.
The maritime provinces of New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia have not
grown as have Quebec and the other
provinces and Price Edward Island has
stood still.
In Ontario the population of the
rural districts has fallen of on account
Of large migration to the west. In
Nipissing, East and West, Algoma,

population has doubled. All the west

OFFICES TO Be
OPENED At THE
FAIR GROUNDS
GENERAL MANAGER OF INTER
STATE FAIR WILL MOVE HEAD
QUARTERS TO kUPFRIAN PARK
OCT. 1877, BUT OFFICE IN eLoUNT
BUILDING WILL REMAIN OPEN.

Business is becoming so lively in the
office Of the general manager Of the
Interstate Fair Association that Gen.
eral Manager Lillard has decided to
open an office at the fair grounds on
the first Of October and after that time
he VIII be found out at the Kupfrian
park, although the Office In the Blount
building will not be closed, but will be
In charge Of the assistant manager.
This arrangement VIII be much more
convenient for the public IS those who
have business at the fair grounds viii
always find someone there, while those
who may have some business in con-
nection with the fair which can be at
tended to without a trip to the fair
grounds will be able to transact II
without the necessity Of going out to
the park.
Great Demand for Concessions.
Even General Manager Lizard. who
is naturally an optimist, admits that
he is agreeably surprised at the great
demand for concessions at the fair
grounds. He said yesterday afternoon
that the mails every day are becoming
heavier with requests for reservations
and that within the past few days a
number of letters asking for conces-
sions have been received from foreign
leo and other countries to say nothing
of the hundreds that are being re-
ceived from various sections of the
United States from Maine to Califor-
MIA.
Woman's Department.
Under the capable direction of Miss
Kate Smith, things are moving along
very nicely in the woman's department
and the prospects for the most sue
cessful fair in the history Of the fair
association in this department are
growing brighter every day.
An unusual amount of interest Is
being manifested in the progress Of
this department. both in the city and
in the adjacent sections Of the country.
Miss Smith is experienced in the line
Of work necessary to make the won-
ans department a success and the
prospects are that the department will
come up to the fullest expectations Of
those interested and will be the sue
cess which it deserves to be.
Pecans on Exhibit.
The latest addition to the exhibit in
the ONCE Of General Manager Lillard
is a fine lot of paper shell pecans con-
tributed by Walter e. Acosta. These
pecans, which are very fine variety
and of an unusually fine flavor were
gathered on the 18th Of August Mr.
Acosta has a number of trees and they
are bearing very prolifically and are
exceptionally early.
Mr.. Acosta will probably have an ex-
hibit Of pecans at the FAIR this year.
