if his feet were larger; If it were smaller
ne would try and slip past and capture
Guantanamo anyhow. The mission of the
Blue commander Is to mobilize stronger
fleet than the Red, go out and wage bat
tie.
The Blue commander would issue or
ders mobilizing his fleet He would al
low a certain number Of hours for the
ships on the Pacific coast to coal at
Panama. pass through the canal and
meet the rest of the fleet, which would
be waiting for il. somewhere northeast
of Cuba
By the time this could be accomplished
the Red fleet would be but one days
sailing distant. Then the B.ue COM
mander would spread out twenty-five de-
stroyers. each many miles apart, to scour
the ocean in search of the Red feet.
When sighted the fact would be theo-
reticaliy reported to the flagship by wire
less.
1t would probably be found that the
Blue fleet could assemble a much strong
er fleet than the enemy; but even then
the Red commander would have a chance
to win if he were a greater strategist
than the commander of the Blues.
Each commander would attempt to
come into battle range either at sunrise
or sunset with the enemy toward the
sun. This would serve partly to conceal
the position of the feet not toward the
sun. The wind is a serious factor for
if it blows the smoke between the firing
ship and the enemy the firing ship loses
about per cent of its hits. This phase
of the game is even taken into consider
alton in the war scheme.

There is a movement on foot tt

would add considerably to the de

60 million yards of burlap imported
monthly. However, cotton cloth costs
just twice what burlap does and this

CHARLOTTE Il FIRMS AIDING
Many Companies Continue to Come
To Rescue of Farmers and Agree
to Purchase.

Charlotte.-Thes upward trend of
the price of cotton and the equally
noticeable deficit in receipts of the
local 1latform are taken to witness
heartily to the efficiency of the buy
and-hold movement which is in full
force in this community as it is all
through the South. Only one bale of
cotton was recorded on the days mar
ket and it. sold for nine cents, the
price that is now being offered here
for good middling. This, as a matter
of fact, is the price at which cotton is
selling throughout the South and the
general tendencies of the market are
decidedly upward. Mecklenburg far
mers are not selling their staple yet.
Whether they will later be forced
to, the market by the pressure of
Indebtedness remains to be seen, the
indications being, however, that by
the time they are compelled to face
their debts, the price of cotton will
be attractive enough to make them
sell. Until this price is reached it
does not look as if they intend to
bring their cotton in.
The canvass is being continued
among the merchants and business
men of the city and the farmers of
the county. The canvass in the city
goes along, but it is believed that for
the most part the, individual work here
has about been concluded and what
cotton is taken eff the hands of the
farmers by the people of the city will
come through accounts, merchants
agreeing to take cotton in exchange
for accounts or in lieu of cash for
commodities which they may want to
buy. This is likely to take a consid
cradle quantity of the staple off the
market in view of the fact that to.
ward the latter part of the year the
planters will begin to look around for
their supplies for the ensuing year

Some one with talent for mathe-
MATES has figured out that this year 5
wheat crop in the United States
amounts 10 nine bushels for every man,
woman and child; that it will make
200 600, 600 barrels of -four, or two bar
rels for everybody in the country, and
that it will make sixty billion loages
of bread
The American wheat crop is estsma-
ted at 5000, 600 bushels, which is
about half the entire worlds crop OF
cereal. 1t is a bumper production,
greater by l37,00O,0OO bushels than
was ever grown in any previous year.
Nature has supplied the faVorlng con-
ditions which have produced a
vast inland ocean of billowy grain and
the country this year has seen no more
inspiring sight than the waves of wheat
stirred by the summer breezes and
spreading over wide stretches Of terri
tory throughout all the wheat-growing
regions of the United States. Every
where the crop has been wonderful
both in quantity and quality.
The question price remains to be
settled by the buyers and sellers, it re-
curing two to make bargain in sell
ling wheat as in other acts of barter
and sale. What is Of present and fut-
ure interest to the consumer is the
price Of the 100000 600 barrels of flour
and the sixty billion loaves of bread
that are anticipated by the mathemat-
ician. II the buyers can get this mag
nihcent wheat crop for seventy-iive
cents will the consumer be able to buy
-four at proportonate reduction? II
wheat is TO be cheap, flour should be
cheap also.

The House, in yielding to the Sen.

The cost Of travel per mile has de.
creased as the country has grown in

prime necessities of modern times is
transportation. Its reasonableness in
cost is matter Of the greatest public
Importance, Congress has shown itself
awake to this fact and has forwarded
the popular movement TO bring down
the cost OF both freight and passenger
service.
1t costs no more to haul a Congress-
man than it does TO haul man in pri-
yate life who pays his own Transports
ton expenses. The mileage grab is,
therefore, nothing more or less than
petty graft upon the part Of every
member Of Congress. In the aggle-
gate 1t amounts TO a good deal but its
acceptance is more lamentable because
OF It's viciousness in principle than be-
cause Of the effect upon the treasury.
