COTTON BELT, IN TWO YEARS.
Historical Contrasts Between Present
Attitude and That of 1861.

In 1860, just before the War Be-
tween the Sections, the United States
produced cotton crop of 100000
bales; the third largest then on rec
ord, and surpassed only in the two
preceding seasons. The price had
been 9 cents pound; it was only
10 cents at the end of 1860. With
the outbreak of the War Between the
Sections, in the spring Of 1861, South
ern ports were blockaded and the
planters went to the front. Nobody
knows how much cotton was pro-
duced in this country between then
and 1865; but the price at New York,
in the resultant scarcity, rose to %
cents in 1861 to 81 in 1862, to 88 in
1868, and to $1.90 before the war
was over. 1t was as late as 1883
before the price got down to 10 cents
a pound again.
How curiously the circumstances
of the cotton belt are reversed In
the present war, may be judged by
this weeks government estimate on
the cotton crop, and by the South's
reception of it. Between 1861 and
1865, the most urgent efforts were
made to raise cotton, run the block,
ade and get the enormous current
prices. Outbreak of last years Eu-
ropean war found our cotton crop at
the largest recorded figure, but with
outside markets, for both industrial
and military reasons, largely blocked.
The New York price, which nearly
trebled in 1861, broke in 1914 from
IA 1-2 cents a pound to 7 Ia. The
whole South joined in nexcited de-
mand to "reduce the acreage"
There was carried over unsold,
from last years crop, 100000 bales
much less than the 5,000,0 0,000-bale
surplus predicted last autumn. The
new crops acreage was actually re-
duced Is per cent though organized
efforts had been made for an acreage
25 per cent or even 0per cent less
than in 1914. On top of this came
bad weather in the cotton belt. Last
Mondays government forecast of the
cotton yield named 10,950,000 bales,
as against the 100000 of last year.
This would be reduction of 81 per
cent.
The somewhat paradoxical enthusi-
asm in the South, over this bad show
ing for the crop, is explained by the
fact that the price of cotton rose in
consequence to IL 1-2 cents a pound,
the highest since the war began, COM
pairing with 10 month ago, and 3-4
in January. But how about the cot
ton trade itself? In the last "cotton
year." which began, with the war, in
August, 1914, the worlds consump-
ton of American cotton was 14,950,-
600 bales, or more than the crop now
predicted by the department of agri-
cultru, plus the "carry-over" from
the last crop.-New York Evening
Post.

SEVEN RUNGS ON LADDER
TO FREEDOM FOR TENANTS.

The one big point to emphasize in
conclusion is that more property.
gradually acquired, is the way to
home-ownership. When a tenant has
saved until he has good tools. good
hogs, good cows, and work stock. he
has reached point where he is in
land than the tenant who lacks these
hundred-fold better position to get
things-and certainly ten-fold surer
to keep the lands after he does get
it. In fact, for the renter who has
nothing at all except common work
ing tools, the seven steps on the lad
der to independence would seem to be:
1. A garden.
2. Poultry.
8. Pigs.
4. Cows.
5. Horses.
6. Better machinery.
7. Land.
The first four are necessary for
self-support, for no matter how in.
dustrious a tenant may be, or how
economical in other ways, there is
absolutely no raw of hope for him il
he regularly tries to buy a LIVING
from a store. He will be nothing but
slave working for the supply mer.

l. Rudyard Kipling is something more
than merely the master poet: Of the
twentieth century-he is the inter-
prefer of its sentiment. Conventional
thought will not yet permit recogn1-
ton Of his genius, for he abhors and
hammers at every pet indeceney that
the human race has been taught
throughout the ages to hold, sacred;
but when the. future lifts the veil
Of today, when the realness of life
reveals itself in all its fullness, then
to the English poet will even the
herald angels sing.
No matter how far the student may
il he gets below at all, he must ap-
Hpreciate that: the Orient has affected
every phase of human life, since the
beginning of time. Our literature,
art and music, even our system OF
economics, have found the Orient
lavish in it's generosity, with the re-
suit that they are terribly clouded
with sensualism:

been endeavoring to get away from
that .sensuahsm.. Until Kipling came

MOTOR SUPPLY REPORTS
 MANY AUTO VISITORS

Automobile Day at the Arizona state ] fair brings to mind the importance of Phoenix as a wholesale and jobbing center in automobile supplies. The Motor Supply company, 315 and 317 North Central Ave, the heart of auto mobile TOW, gives reports that dealers from all over the state are now in town
 placing orders for fall goods.
 The Supply company IS the oldest automobile supply house in Arizona. It was founded in 1910, as a retail store with two emploHes. Almost immedi- ately they found it necessary to carry 9 much larger and more complete stock than they anticipated in order to sup ply the various dealers and garages in Phoenix and Maricopa county. Their growth has been steady and constant, requiring six employees to care for the trade at the Phoenix store. They also keep two men constantly on the road state. They operate a branch store at Tucson, which carries as large and varied a stock as the Phoenix store. Part of the success of this firm can be traced to the fact that they are Arizona distributors for a various line of na- ogram oils and greases Bosch magne- tos- Goodrich and Diamond tires.

 The Studebakers
 The Studebaker Corporation, through the local agent John Huff, have three models on display all of the 1916 series. Elegant cars they are and they have attracted a great deal of worthy at tention.
