For Discordant Couples to Think About

A young girl OF II has attained a
lot OF newspaper notoriety within the
last few days. She disappeared from
the place OF residence chosen for her
by her millionaire father. and he was
having the country ransacked In
search OF her. All OF which was, nee
essarily and inevitably. news un-
pleasant as such notoriety must be. or
at least should be, TO her friends.
For there were, OF course, the usual
conjectures and rumors OF a possible
"man In the case" as there always
must be when a young woman or re-
puted beauty and certain wealth disap'
pears from the environment allotted
by the social conventions.
1t proved, however, that there was
no imam in the case" and that the
conjectured "elopement" was. with
some girl school friends. apparently
assisted by an older woman who had.
perhaps, manifested somewhat injudi'
ciously some rather natural sympa-
thies with the lot of the girl.
For that the situation OF the girl
was one which appeals to the natural
sympathies sufficiently appears now
that We have heard from the girl her
self and know what from her view

three-fourths OF the American wool
consumption so years ago and are now

It is shown to be a swindle against

the woollen trust.

lection to American labor at Ameri-

that no other skilled labor is paid so

that high wage rates mean high cost

found to the contrary.
Mr.. Stone directs attention to an

which are gathered by an army OF
enumerators working over every sec
ton OF the country Beginning in 1918,
in accordance with the new law. the
government will make an agricultural
census every five years, instead OF at
the end OF l0year periods, putting
the crop-reporting work on better
basis than IL has ever been before in
this country.
Spectators on both sides OF the
market have often claimed that the
department of agriculture has made o
practice OF overestimating or under
estimating the size of the cotton
crops. The correctness OF cotton
crop reports offers an excellent test
OF the reliability of the agricultural
departments estimates. Mr. Holmes
compares his bureaus figures with
those OF the bureau OF the census of
the department OF commerce. which
annually collects and tabulates re-
turns from all cotton ginners as to
the number Of bales ginned He
shows that evidences OF imitation
would appear In comparison be-
tween the census report Of cotton
ginning returns made In the spring
OF the year and the department OF
agriculture,s preceding December esti
mate OF the cotton crop. He makes
comparison TO cover a period Of l3
years, and shows that during that
time the department underestimated
the crop seven years, with an aver
age OF SO per cent under the
census figures, and that his bureaus
statistics were overstatements dur
ing six years, with an aver
age OF only 1.9 per cent. above the
census reports. The comparison or
the bureaus estimates of statistics OF
the cotton crop with the actual re-
turn from the ginners made TO the
bureau Of the census seems To dis
prove the charge that in cases or
variance the department OF agricul
ture attempts TO exaggerate census

At last Philip got him persuaded to
summon his neighbor. Judd did so with
an air of mystery that caused the bald

A GOOD LAUGH
Philip could AFFORD to laugh at the
unfavorab1e epithets. Up to the age
of Is he had been trained in a first
rate lycee, and his work was super
vised by his mother, woman of very
great culture. He spoke French as
well as English, and spoke both ad-
mirably. He knew some Greek and
Latin, was well advanced in arith-
metic. and had special penchant for
history and geography
1t was in the glowing articles
which appeared during his imprison-
ment that he took the keenest inter-
est Oddly enough, one ingenious COR

Gifted with an analytical mind, he
had reasoned that the diamond laden
meteor fell during the extraordinary

hospital
This writer had actually inter-

concerning Mr.. Anson, were giving
prompt attention TO his instructions.

Philip.

He did not compose this letter with
out considerable trouble. The tphil
anthropic purpose he had alread
decided upon. but he thought it wa
rather clever to refer to the posi-
bilities OF future business.
AS for the double transfer. he dis

He was early to bed, and his res
