financial and economic knowledge
nearly all Of the European countries
are centuries ahead of us. This is
particularly true as to Great Britain.
which is easily the farthest advanced
country in the world from an indus
trial and financial standpoint. 1t is
easy for the average individual in this
country to figure out how at the close
Of this great war, there will follow a
period of industrial activity the like
of which the world has never seen
and how the United States. provided
it does not become involved in the
widespread destruction now going on,
will be placed in position Of peculiar
advantage with reference to all other
civilized countries; but in this connec-
ton it is worth while to consider in
connection with what has been said.
this observation of a few days ago
from Lloyd George, the chancellor of
the British eXchequer:
Immediately after war there must
be a period of reconstruction-not
merely here, but in Europe, where
enormous demands will be made on
the manufacturing resources of the
country. During the war and during
the period of reconstruction there will
be practically no competition in the
neutral markets Of the world, except
from America, and / think we can
look forward to four or five years in
which our industries will have an ar
tificial stimulus which comes from
these abnormal conditions. But when
that period is over we shall be face to
face with one Of the most serious In
dustrial situations with which we nave
ever been confronted. We shall have
exhausted an enormous amount of the
capital Of the world and our purchas-
ers at home and abroad will be Grip
pied"
The wisdom born Of centuries Of
experience Is behind what the great
British statesman has said. He Is
speaking especially with reference to
his own country, Of course. He sees
that it will be several years after the
great war, provided England wins,
that his people will be up against It,.
The danger to America will be too
much prosperity. If 1t were possible
for our own statesmen to study out
intelligently the situation that might
naturally be expected to develop in
this country during the period referred
to. socially. industrially. financially
and otherwise, they might be able to
so shape matters that our prosperity
would continue indefinitely.

The Progressive Farmer calculates
that if all the horses and mules in the
south were fed on cotton seed meal at
the rate of two pounds day each, 1t
would consume all the meal that is
made from a 100000 bale cotton
crop and the saving to the south would
be S45,O00,000. The Progressive
Farmer claims that cotton seed meal
is better than either corn or oats for
feeding horses and mules, and argues
also that the manure Is of much
greater value than that obtained from
other feedstuffs.

JUDGE ASHFORD
HAS SYMPATHY
FOR HOP HEADS

In assessing a $50 fine on All Sin, a
Chinese convicted of having opium in
his possession, Circuit Judge Ashford
delivered little honily on the effect
of evil habits, such as opium smoking,
drunkenness, nicotine and use of like
drugs. Expressing great sympathy
for the unfortunate victims of the hab-
its he recommended that the prison
authorities and medical attendants
lend their help in endeavoring to re-
lieve the sufferers by weaving them
from the drugs baleful influence.
II have great sympathy" the court
stated, "for those Chinese of mature
age who in former years contracted
the habit of smoking opium and who
now are deprived of it suddenly by
law.
: THE court realizes the extreme diff
fculty with which these men are con-
fronted in breaking away from old
habits. such as the use of opium, whis-
ky and tobacco, and feels that the un-
fortunates should be cared for by the
warden and medical authorities of the
prison in such way as to wean them
from the habit If this defendant is
unable to pay his fine he will have to
go to Jail for some so or 20 days, to
pay the fine and costs at the rate of
about 81 per day. 1t is the hope Of
the court that he may be aided while
in prison, to get into position where
he will be able to resist the desire"
He added that such persons cannot
expect similar leniency when they are
convicted second time for the same
offense The fine assessed All Sin is
the minimum provided by law. The
judge stated the opinion that it is the
utmost Importance that the rising gen.
Grafton of both Japanese and Chinese
be protected from such pernicious hab-
its. ........ -.
Akana, another Chinese who had en-.
tered a plea of guilty to an opium
charge, and had saved the territory
the expense of trial, was given sus.
pension of sentence for thirteen
months.
