BARGAIN IN COTTON.

There Is one port in this country in
which exports have doubled, as COM
pared with figures turned in a year
ago. This is San Francisco. In Octo-
Der of last year exports from that port
were just a shade in excess of $4,000
900: in October of this year they were
close to 81, zoo, 900.
And still there is not much war on
the western side, in the Pacific. When
you get on the eastern coast of Asia
you find that few people realize there
is much doing in the war line. Jap
anese are in the fight and a fringe of
China has furnished battle-ground; but
perhaps not more than one out OF a
hundred in those two countries are
actively participating.
But Japanese and Chinese are busy
at something else, and this accounts
for increased exports from San Fran
cisco, says the Decatur Review. Jap
anese especially are quick to see an
opportunity. and IT seems that some
Of this trait has got over into China.
And so we read manufacturers in
those two countries are mighty active
buyers of American raw cotton. Dis
patches tell US they are buying this
staple as never before, and the guam
tity they are willing TO take is linn
tied only by transportation facilities.
IL those fellows could get ships per-
haps they would buy all surplus cotton
now in this country. that is if they
could get it at present bargain prices.
Exports of cotton are what make the
San Francisco market show big. ia
pan and China are getting cotton at
about eight cents a pound. and at this
price they want all that can possibly
be got to them. They are smart enough
to realize this is a real bargain, that
It is getting something at less money
than il will sell few months hence.
Isn't IL a fact that IN this matter
cotton manufacturers of Japan and
China are showing a better quality of
foresight and enterprise than are those
IN this country?

inconvenience OF quarantine and dis
infection. This Is. OF course, q very
simple form OF extortion. Another
motive may be the sale of some quack
remedy for the disease.
Stock owners can protect themselves
very easily against this fraud, for
there is no specific remedy for the
foot and mouth disease. Since the
germ has never been isolated. it has
never been possible as yet to find any
serum that would act either as a cure
or preventive, and the public may be
quite certain that any one who says
that he is an employe OF the depart
ment of agriculture. and at the same
time attempts to sell, or even recon-
mend anything of the sort, is simply
an imposter. For this reason, stock
owners are warned by the department
not to allow strangers to visit their
stock or attempt any demonstrations
of so-called cures by injections or 9TH
erwise.

The National Geographic society
gives out the following description OF
the Dardanelles and Austrian Galicia.
which are figuring prominently In the
war in Europe:
Keen political interest has centered
around the Dardanelles since the time
when Persian strength was tested up
on the soldiers of free Greece. Xerxes
came this way with his vast army for
the invasion of Europe. and crossed
the Dardanelles, then known as the
Hellespont, over a pontoon bridTo
constructed near Abydos. on the Asi-
attic side, and touching Grecian shores
near. Sestos. where the waterway is
about $500 feet wide. 1t was on this
occasion that the capricious currents
of the strait called forth the most
historic spanking ever given. They
carried away the pontoons. whereupon
Xerxes ordered the Hellespont to be
soundly fiogged.
When the eastern invasion had
spent itself after Marathon and Sala-
mis-, the Dardanelles became a point
of departure for the hardy conqueror
who turned the tables. Alexander,
in 934 B. c., 146 years after Xerxes,
crossed in the path of the Persian,
and began his successful subjugation
OF the outworn east. The tide shifted
once more; and throughout the long
struggle of Byzantium against the
east, the Dardanelles were ever and
again frontier waters. At last, in 1856
the Turks forced themselves over the
much-contested territory, spread over
its European banks, and settled down
to stay.
No longer a frontier of easter-west-
ern struggle, the Dardanelles, never
theless, preserved their political inn
portance, an importance derived, first
from Turkish control of Mediterra-
nean-Black sea commerce, and, later,
from the complex diplomatic game in
which the great powers of Europe
sought to balance themselves one
against the other, and each to make
that balance contribute to its own
advantage. Mighty Russia's only
ports upon warm waters were in her
Black sea territory. Conventions of
the powers, however, have held her
shut up fast within the inland sea.
For a century these conventions have
stood between Russia and her ambi-
tions to have an outlet on the Medit-
erranean.
BY a five-power treaty in 1S41, it
was arranged that no ship of war of
any nation other than the Ottoman
should pass the Dardanelles without
express permission of the forts. The
closing of the strait was reaf1rmed
af in 1871 af pnrlin in
1873. Even merchant vessels must
have have passes, which they are re-
quired to show to the authorities al

REGION OF THE DARDANELLEs

I the narrows. Boats may pass through
only during the daytime. yet they are
required to pay a small lighthouse fee.
The strait is a narrow. Irregular
channel, connecting the Aegean sea
with the sea OF Marmora. 1t cuts Eu-
rope from Asia on course from
southwest to northeast. 1t is only
about 40 miles long, while 1t varies
in width from one to five miles. Its
average depth Is 1S0 feet. Upon the
European side the shores are steep
and barren, and their inhospitaole
line of battery-crowned rocks makes
the Dardanelles place for unusually
strong defense. The shores on the
Asiatic side are long-sloped and very
fertile; for the most part belng
clothed with beautiful forests.
The Dardanelles guard the approach
to Constantinople from the Mediter-
ranean, as the Bosphorus guards the
approach from the Black sea. They
were first fortified by two castles, one
on either shore, in the path OF Herxes
and Alexander, built by Mohammed
III in 1862. These have been often re-
modelled. During the last century,
with Turkish power on the wane, and
the Turk himself. apparently acquies-
cent, the remodeling and extending oil
the old Notifications was brought
about by French, English and German
prodding, as temporary interests
pointed toward the Golden Horn.
Most of old Poland which survives,
in race and in political consciousness,
in typical culture and in folk-charac-
ter. survives in the Austrian crown
land of Galicia. Under the more
sternly repressive rule of Russian
and German overlordship. the Poles
in Russia and Germany have been
driven little by little from their strong
hold of national feeling. They are
becoming half-hearted Russians and
Germans, for Russia and Germany
have done all in their power to assim-
ulate the well nigh unassimulabie
Pole. In Galicia, however, with con-
stitution of their own, under a per
picked and lenient central govern
ment, a consciousness of old Poland
remains, and has grown in intensity
in recent times.
Hemmed in by Russia on the north
and east by the suspicious border pa
troll. naturally cut off from Hungary
on the south and southwest by the
Carpathians, barely touching it's SOW
ereign Austria, on the west, the Gal
ician Pole has been left to himself, to
the single-handed solution of his own
difficulties, political, economic and ad-
ministrative. With little to prod him
into violent industrial exertion, he.
has continued the past into the pres
ent, with it's quaint customs, its devo-
tion to agriculture, and its poverty
stricken idealism.

CLOTHING FOR POOR Chill
DREN.

Steward Frank b. Wylie of the Rock
Island county farm has fathered a
movement in which The Argus will be
glad to Join, together with the other
daily newspapers of the county. 1t is
for the collection of a fund for the
clothing of poor children during the
coming winter. If the clothing is pro-
vided before Christmas so much the
better Mr.. Wylie himself heads the
subscription list with $50 The money
which is expended in Rock Island will
be handled through the Associated
Charities.
Mr.. Wylie. as a matter of course, is
brought into contact with great
many of the poor people from all parts
of the county and their wants this
winter have impressed him most forcf-
bly,. He knows first hand of many
cases of destitution among grownups
and he feels that in such times of
stress the suffering of the unfortun-
ate children who are not in any man.
ner responsible for their condition is
particularly to be regretted. So he has
asked the three daily newspapers OF
the county TO lay the matter before
the pubic anu arrange " ItItlNt SuNh
funds as the people care to give and
turn them over to those who are ap-
pointed to disburse them and see that
the clothing purchased gets into the
hands of those who most need it.
The Argus is glad to cooperate in
this work and although 1t has but re-
Gently completed its campaign for the
Christmas ship and is now raising its
annual Santa Claus and Good Fellows
fund to buy Christmas presents for
poor children it welcomes the chance
to aid Mr.. Wylie's undertaking. 1t
will receive funds and keep them sep
arate. for the purchase of clothing.
1t is not Mr.. Wylie's idea that this
is to be made an occasion for the dis
tribution of second hand and wornout
apparel which the owners have no fur
ther use for. II is the intention to
buy only new apparel, as warm and
serviceable as can be procured. Even
small contributions for this fund will
be thankfully received.

The Turning.

Like that non-eXistent ailment, the
seven years itch" most illnesses are
properly supposed to fall into con-
venient periods according to some mys
terious law Thus, fractures are sup
posed TO knit or begin knitting on
the ninth day. I believe. Mothers fix
on the ninth or tenth day as the pro-
per time to arise from childbed. Ty-
phoid fever is due to turn" some
where in the neighborhood of the
twenty-first day. And the protective
effect of vaccination is generally said
to last precisely seven years.
All of these fancies SAVIOR of as
trology or black magic. Disease doesn't
follow any fixed rule of behavior.
Pneumonia reaches the "crisis"-that
point at which the high fever drops to
normal in the course of IL hours, more
or less-in seven days as often as in
10 days. Each case is law unto it
self in the matter.
Fractures are Knitting" or uniting
from the instant of the accident to the
very end of disability. The process is
no more active one day than another.
Mothers are ready and able to leave
their bed in 10 days no more common
" than in eight days or 16 days. And
vaccination protection, so far as any
body knows. may be lost in a few
months or 1t may continue for life
time in a given case.
But the turning of typhoid is
less easily disposed of, because our
revered medical fathers, We fear, en-
couraged the fancy. so anxious were
they to reassure worried relatives of
the languishing patient.
II the Patient Wins, the Fever Turns.
We doubt whether any physician
ever attends a case of typhoid fever
in private practice without being
called upon sooner or later by some
one to answer this question:
Doctor, how soon do you think
the fever will turn? This is the
seventeenth day-it turns on the
twenty-lrst, doesn't it?"
Being tired, possibly even busy,
the doctor is sorely tempted to give
an evasive reply or to tacitly sup
port the hope, in order to escape a
laborious explanation.
The average duration of typhoid
fever is about four weeks-that is.
the duration of the high tempera-
ture. In an average case the tenn
perature does begin to show a slight
daily decline toward the end of the
third week or the beginning of the
fourth-but not especially on the
twenty-first day. Yet even after
that slight decline there is always
the possibility of a rise again and
a continuation of the fever for many
days after the turning"
Some OF these fine days, If indeed
typhoid Is not absolutely stamped
out by universal typhoid-vaccination,
we shall have q vaccine or serum
which will abort the disease at any
stage, as antitoxin aborts diphtheria
Then IL will be a long siege that
has no turning.
