ming reports and in connection also
with the acreage and condition re-
ports Of the department of agrlcul-
ture, the latest available statistics Of
the exports, stocks and consumption
of cotton and the number of spindles
in operation in the manufacture OF
cotton.
Discussing the purpose of the res
oiucion, Mr.. Lever says:
Il have already introduced a bill
changing somewhat the system of the
department of agriculture in its work
of gathering statistics Of production
of cotton. Even under the present
system the cotton trade is given the
benefit of most comprehensive and
detailed statistics as to the amount
of cotton produced during the sea-
son. The manufacturer Of cotton is
furnished, through governmental
agencies, a complete view of the sit
uation from the producers stand
point. The trade is advised from time
to time the number Of acres planted
with cotton, the condition Of the
growing cotton. and finally is given
statisticians as to the yield. This is
big advantage to him in deciding
upon the probable supply of his raw
material, and therefore upon the
price which he must likely pay for it.
It is an advantage unfair to the far
mer, and to remedy this condition
at the suggestion of the Farmers un-
ion in my State-I had passed joint
resolution two years ago calling for
the publication of statistics quarterly
covering the exports, stocks, etc., of
cotton. These reports are summar-
lied as of November /, January l and
March 1, the house having decided not
to publish a report for Decembe, l.,
as provided for in my original reso-
luton.
"Complaint has come, and I am
sure it is justified, that the reports
are not issued with sufficient fire.
quency to keep the farmer informed
as to the condition of the manufac-
turer, who consumes the cotton pro-
duced by the farmer. This resolution
khich I am about to introduce pro-
poses to give to the farmer, through
governmental agencies, the same ad-
vantage as is given to the manufac-
turer. The farmer has as much right
to be informed as to the probable
consumption as has the manufacturer
to the probable yield, and when we
have given to him the most compre-
hensiye statistics of the exports, the
stocks on hand, and the consumption
of cotton for definite periods, together
with the number of spindles in active
operation, he is put in a much bet
ter position from which to judge as
to the price Of his product. Either
there should be no statistics publish
ed at all or all the facts should be
made known, and both consumer and
producer treated with equal fairness.
believe this resolution will bring
about this result as nearly as it is
possible to bring it about"

CURIOUS MIx-UP OF NAMES
MAKES YOUNG UNMARRIED
WOMAN LEGALLY A WIFE

speciaI Cable to rhs Washington Herald
Paris, Nov. l6.-Just when Mile. Marie
Louise Crebasso was about to be Joined
before the Mayor OF Bezlers in the secu-
lar bonds OF matrimony, she noticed that
the magistrate was attributing 10 her
date of birth and a parentage TO which
she had no right. A wrong set of par
ents she might have tolerated, but to be
written down as thirty when one has no
more than twenty summers on ones
straight back is uncomfortable. Mile. Marie
Louise protested. II was very unwise of
her. As the result of an immediate In
quiry, II was established that the bride
was already a wife OF some years stand
ing, and was. Or ought to be. living with
her husband In Algiers.
What had happened was this: Three
years before a young woman, born in
BeZiers, but living In Algeria. who shared
the attractive but no uncommon given
name and surname OF the would-be bride.
had written to the municipal authorities
OF her native commune demanding the
papers necessary for her marriage. She
received the papers Of her namesake. so
that. as things at present stand, the bride
OF Beziers has legally been married for
three years, ard the Algerian wife Is
still a spinster. II will take much time
and oceans OF ink TO clear up the affair.
Meanwhile the marriage has been ad-
journed sine die.
