Lower Coal Rates in S. d.

Pierre. S. D.. June 16.-Lower
coal rates from the west will go into
effect for South Dakota points be-
ginning the first of July, the reduc-
ton to Missouri river points being
more than a dollar and a half a ton
for freight charges. This action is
on an order by the interstate COM
merce commission, on complaint of
the South Dakota state commission.
The exact figures on the reductions
on the Milwaukee line as shown by
the railway department is $1.57,4 at
Chamberlain. Oacoma. 80 cents; Re-
lance. 65 cents; Kenebeck, 55 cents;
Presho, as cents, with corresponding
reductions at other stations on that
line on all coal shipments from Colo
RADIO and Wyoming mines. The rate
department has not figured out the
reductions on the Northwestern line
but 1t is said that they will be great
er than on the Milwaukee, as the
Northwestern has never given any
thing but a purely local rate on west
ern coal to stations in this state.

m the United States by bales:

Perhaps the most notable revelation
in this record is the fact that while
the United Kingdom is still the heav-
lest buyer its purchases have increaS-
ed in twenty years only little more
than 100000 bales, while Germany's in
crease has been more than 2QOO,OOO
bales. Another notable detail is the
expansion of the cotton manufacturing
industry in Italy and in Japan, eSpe-
cially in the latter. Other countries
have made appreciable and even strik-
ing gains, but the expansion of Ger
many, Of Italy and Of Japan has been
remarkable. In these twenty years
the domestic consumption Of this coun-
try has grown from 2,4lG,OOO bales to
5,367 900, Il gain eQualing that OF Ger
many and the United Kingdom com
bined.
The worlds total supply Of raw cot
ton for mill consumption is now lit
tie more than 20,00O,0O0 bales averae-
ing 800 pounds, quantity nearly
doubling the production of only ten
years ago. The increase in total out
put has been fairly divided between
the United States and the total of other
producing countries. ON the basis OF
the crop Of 1911, the latest year fOr
which full returns are available, sup
ply was divided thus: United States,
69.7 per cent Of the total; British IN
dia, lib; Egypt G.l; Russia, "a; China,
%; Brazil, Ia; all other, 30 per cent.
Times may be hard and prices high
the world over, but it is evident that
the producers of cotton have made two
shirts grow where one grew before.
The greater supply Of cotton has met
a larger demand, and there has been
increase in prices. The average price
for the last ten years equals the aver
age for the period 1S50-CO and exceeds
that Of any other ten years since 1870.

EARLY ST. PATRICK DAYS.
Ireland's Saint Was Honored Here In
the Colonial Days.


The earliest recorded meeting Of
Irishmen on American soil to do honor
to St Patrick was in 1877, when the
members of the Charitable Irish So
cety Of Boston sat down together to
honor the memory of Ireland'S patron
saint. Since then there has been a
continuous series Of meetings of vari-
Gus societies, growing in Importance
and in numbers and springing up in
various parts of the country, until to-
day there is scarcely an American
town of size without its organization
to honor the saint and his day.
Many of these gatherings have been
notable ones, acting as mileposts in the
story of the settlement of Erin's chill
dren in their adopted country, and have
mirrored the growth in numbers and
standing of Irishmen and descendants
of Irishmen in American life.
In 1857 ST Patrick's day was cele-
brated by the Irish soldiers stationed
at Fort William Henry, on Lake
George In 1888 similar festivities
were held in Pittsburgh. In 1878 the
Irishmen with Washington at Valley
Forge inaugurated a series Of meetings,
and three years later George Washing
ton dned with the Friendly Sons of
st. Patrick
