FINANCIAL CONDITIONS ARE VERY UNSET TLEDMSTATES

eetlon and il will be no sur prise if the next lower house Is opposed to President Will son and his policies. The at titudc of the old Stand-pat Republicans with regard to the man Roosevelt is rapidly changing and it is quite prob able that he will be the candi~ dateof the Republican party for president in 1916 and there is no doubt that if the two fac tions of the republican party can get together under his lead erShip, Wilson and the democ- racy will certainly be regulated to the rear. Of course. a great deal may happen within the two years, but politicians, the country over, are looking for a reconciliation and Roosevelts nomination as standard bearer. The objection of the old party men against the progressives Is not so much that~they would not tolerate Roosevelt as they object to PInchotism and the other fanatial ideas advocated by some of his followers. If these can be thrown overheard so that a thorough understand ing can be arrived at, the rest would be easy, for Roosevelt today probably looms larger in the public eye than any other man in the country.

rest IN the Democratic party.

THE COTTON QUESTION
1t is Easier to Increase Con.

crease Acreage.
To the Commercial Bodies Of th

To the Commercial Bodies Of tbl
SOUTH
This is concrete suggestion
for the relief of the Cotton section
Please bring it to the attention
of the officials of your city whC
are Interested.
The u. 5. consumes 40 per cent
of our Cotton crop, and we see 10
earthly reason why this should
not be increased SO much that it
will be unnecessag1 20 import
much, if any, jute from India.
Investigations should begin at
home', and we were surprised
at finding that our own firm could
increase its consumption Of cotton
goods over 100 per cent. TO illns
trate: We have discontinued the
use of jute bags for feed sacks,
for burlap covers and tor bakers
-four sacks, and have substituted
cotton sacks. Therefore, today
this mill is consuming every
twenty four hours the following:
(a)-$G00 90 worth of cotton -four bags.
(b)-$20000 " - feed -
(c)-$400 90 &" =" - covers for
small bags.
(d)--$ 25 90 worth Of cotton bakers
- bags.
Tot GIDoE m Mouth &c C1tt--
consumed each day.
Two weeks ago we were using
each day ONLY the article mark
ed "(a)". The result is startling.
Every jobber retailer and baker
in your town should demand that
his -four and feed come in Cotton,
and NOT in burlaps. The ex
peDse is little more for COT
TON, but broad minded Mill fig
ures that it gets its money back
and more because of the increased
prosperity enjoyed by the Cotton
section.
Furthermore, sugar, fertilizer,
grain, produce, etc, can just as
well be packed in Cotton as in
burlap. The producer will use
Cotton if the jobber demands it,
SO we say IL is STRICLY UP
TO YOU. Remember that this
would bring the U. s consump
ton from 40 per cent of the total
crop up to 60 per cent. Surely II
is worth striving for! Please have
your newspapers take it up.
Cotton mills are hardly operat
ny l2 hours-they should operate
"a hours! Bear in mind that in
iwO weeks time Ballard has made
! change in his packing methods
which means that instead of con
,uming $3.50, 900 90 worth Of Cot
,On goods in year we are copsum-
ng 1867, 10000 worth. What
Ballard has done, every other mill
IAN be forced to do.
Can we count on your CO opera
ion in this great movement
merlca raises not one pound OF
ute, and she DOES raise COT
TON!
Gins should use cotton cloth for
tagging.

The department of agriculture esti.
mates that there are 1.140,0O0.O00 acres
OF tillabe land in the United States
and that only % per cent OF this i'm
mense area is under cultivation. 1t
might add that OF the - per cent ac-
tually cultivated comparatively few
acres are handled in such way as to
show anything like their maximum pro-
duction.
Here is food for the pessimist The
mau. who fears that the country is
nearing actual exhaustion may find
cheer in the thought that little more
than quarter OF the available agricul-
tural land is being made productive
Supply inevitably meets demand. and
as the demand for agricultural products
increases the supply will be enlarged
by the development of regions which
have not been touched by the plow.-

One OF the most dangerous places for
navigation is the Salmadina bank.
which lies Just outside the harbor Of
Cartagena. Colombia. Many vessels
have come to grief on the treacherous
sands of Salmadina in the past, and
bePuse of the impossibllity Of keeping
buoys on il the shoal is constant
menace TO ships plying those waters.
This dangerous bank is about four
miles long and two miles wide. There
is scarcely more than twelve feet of
water over it ut any time The sea
Is usually smooth in that part of the
Caribbean. and unless there is ground
swell enough 10 cause waves to break
on the reef there is nothing TO warn
the navigator that he is approaching
this shallow spot He may have his
lead going and get plenty of water
one minute and be bang up on the
sboal the next
The lighthouse people will probably
never be able TO put buoys on Salma-
dina that will stay there. They are in
variably carried away in the terrific
hurricanes that periodically sweep
these waters. SO it seems as II Salma-
dina was bad spot put there for the
permanent worriment of shipmasters
