II DEAD. BEAT
Is the Great Part Of the High Cost Of
livinq.

Is the Great Part of the High Cost Of
Living.
You can figure the tariff and you
can figure the trust and you can fig
ure the combination-but you don't
get the right thing on the cost Of high
living unless you take in the dead beat
and the delivery system.
You go to your grocer and look
over his books and you will see that
from ten to twenty per cent Is loss
on the dead beat who v pays a
pill. He gets away with the goods some
how. The Merchants Association has
him marked; the ROGER knows he
never pays-but somehow he finally
gets on the books and before he is re-
fused further credit he owes anywhere
from ten to a hundred dollars. He Is
going to pay next week. He has all
the deluxe hard luck stories ever
dreamed of by mortal mar. He HI
had sickness. He is just going to get
a job; he is going to pay the first of
the month and wants a little further
accommodation and the merchant
gives up-and it means the man who
pays cash also pays for the dead beat
or, the merchant goes out Of bust
ness. The dead beat means ten per
cent or more on your grocer's bill. 1t
means sometimes more than that.
And then comes the delivery bust
ness. The grocer must keep two or
three delivery wagons. 1t Is either
horse feed or gasoline and a driver.
And Mrs. Whatsername PUSHES to the
phone and wants a box Of matches
sent right out-and the five cent box
Of matches is delivered and it costs
twenty-five cents to deliver it-but
Wkatsername Is a good customer and
1t wouldn't do to turn her down.. Then
there is n grand rush about ten in the
morning and extra delivery clerks are
called in-and then there is a grand
rush the rest Of the day-but the eX-
pense goes on. The merchant must
charge this to some account. He must
make profit enough on the goods to
pay this terrible toll, and you can
safely figure that the dead beat and
the delivery system costs you $25 on
every 800 worth Of goods you con-
sume--and If hat isn't a pretty toll
what is? But these figures can be veri-
fed Often the merchant doesn't know
it. Hardly v er makes more than a
wing and sometimes he doesn't make
that in the grocery business. He has
another ten per cent loss on green
goods and fruits and things like that
and by the time the ultimate con-
sumner gets his food he has paid the
high prices which modern civilization
and modern deadbeatism demand.

There has been a great increase in


recent years in the production of
linters and hull fiber. Linters are OBJ
tanned at the oil mills by reginning the
cottonseed, the object being to remove
the short fbers SO that the fine parti-
cles Of the kernel will not be carried
off with the hulls, making possible a
greater yield of oil and meal. The total
quantity Of linters obtained from the
crop of 1899 vas 1854 bales Of 500
pounds each, but fifteen years later
the output of this by product of the
cottonseed oil industry had increased
by more than 600 per cent, the number
Of bales turned out from the crop of
1914 being $4,000.
Obtaining Hull Fiber.
Hull fiber is obtained by a treatment
of the hulls which breaks up their
structure and makes available the
short fbers which have not been re-
moved in the d%elinting process. Sew
in the production of hull fiber for a
number of years, and additional ones
are taking up this line Of manufacture.
The publication of statistics of cot
ton production and consumption has
called public attention to the desir-
ability of similar data concerning nu-
merous other and totally different
commodities. The census bureau Is
receiving numerous requests for such
data concerning various articles, the
production Of which has been stimu-
lated by the European war or by
economic conditions due in a measure
to the war.
There seems to be a general impress
sion that the census bureau is en-
gagged in the collection of such statis-
tics. Director Rogers wishes to en-
phasize the fact that the work Of his
bureau is defined and limited by law.
He appreciates the Importance Of sta
tistics concerning the annual produc-
ton Of clothing and food products, of
chemicals, of metal and wood pro-
ducts, etc, but congress has not au-
thorized the collection of such stats"
tics, and until 1t does so his bureau
cannot undertake the work.

COTTON FOR Err

Census Department Gives Out Infor-
nation on Subject.
The European var has created an
Unsuitable demand for ammunition.
New establishments are being erected
for the manufacture Of explosives, n
the possibility of increased profits is
inducing firms engaged in other indus
tries to enter the field. This state Of
affairs, Of course, has an important
effect ON the price of cotton, which
is largely used as a material in the
manufacture of explosives.
Director Rogers. Of the bureau of
the census, says a Washington dis
patch is carrying on an extensive cor
respondence in his endeavor to obtain
statistics Of all establishments using
cotton as a material. Consumers Of
cotton naturally desire to know the
total quantity used in all lines of in
dustry, and they can aid In the COM
pilation of accurate statistics by fur
nishing the census bureau, at Wash
ington, with the names and addresses
Of establishments which have begun
the use Of cotton as a raw material
since the commencement Of the Euro
pean war. Mr.. Rogers says that a
great many letters are being received
requesting information IS to the
quantity of cotton and linters used in
the manufacture of explosives. Some
express the fear that the bureau is
not aware of the extent to which these
materials are now being used for this
purpose. The director desires to state
that the census bureau is aware of the
greatly increased demand for cotton
and linters, and has been endeavoring
to collect complete statistics concern
ing the total quantity used by all con-
sumers Of cotton, in compliance with
the law which requires monthly re-
ports on this subject.
Explosives Take Much Cotton.
Unfortunately it is impossible to
supply statistics as to the amount of
cotton used i'm the manufacture OF ex-
plosivcs alone. The act Of congress
authorizing the collection of cotton
| statistics directs the census bureau
ito collect and publish statistics con
corning = = the quantity of raw
cotton consumed in manufacturing es-
Establishments of every character = ="
While some manufacturers of explo-
| siveS purchase the raw cotton and
subject il to the necessary processes of
publication in their own establish
ments, many of them buy it from other
establishments which purify and treat
the fiber so rs to render 1t suitable for
use in the manufacture Of explosives.
Many Of the establishments prepare
cotton not only for manufacturers Of
explosives, but also for manufacturers
Of wholly different products, and it is
not feasible for the census bureau to
obtain separate statistics of the
amount Of purified cotton turned out
by such establishments for use in the
manufacture of explosives.

Just the Job for Him.-"He was the
slowest boy on earth and had been
sacked at three places in two weeks,
so his parents had ~apprenticed him to
a naturalist, says the Kansas City Star.
But even he found him slow. 1t
took him two hours to give the n
ries their seed, three to stick a pin
through a dead butterfly and four to
pick a convolvulus. The only point
about him was that he was willing.
And what" he asked. having spent
a whole afternoon changing the gold
fishes water, shall I do now, sir?'
The naturalist ran his fingers

Gooseberry Cheese.
Wash and pick, say. six pounds Of
gooseberries, put them in a large pan
with about a teacupful Of water. just
enough to keep them from sticking,
stir occasionally. and cook till quite
soft; rub through a sieve, measure
and weigh the pulp and replace In a
clean pan with one pound Of preserv-
ing sugar to each pound of pulp; boil
for about forty minutes until a little
tried in a saucer will set quite firmly;
put into small pots and cover. Damson
cheese can be made just the same, and
these conserves, in which skin and
seeds are rejected, are certainly more
wholesome for little children.
Some Good Suggestions.
Cubes of loaf sugar rubbed over the
surface Of an orange will retain the
orange flavor by absorbing the oil.
These used in tea are delicious, sug-
costing orange pekoe.
When making pie crust in hot wealth
er, fill a bottle with ice water or
cracked ice and use as a rolling pin.
The pastry will be delicate and laky.
No matter how fast or how rough
the pace Of a train, you can write
smoothly and comfortably if you hold
a cushion on your lap. Rest your
tablet and arm on the cushion.
When ironing, have a number Of
coat hangers upon which to put shirt
waists or children's dresses. 1t keeps
them in better shape.
If the knives Of your food chopper
become black and dull, run a piece Of
sand soap through the chopper as you
would a potato. 1t brightens and
sharpens the knives and they cut like
new. Use the pulverized sand soap to
scour with.

the reasons for the gloom that is
widespread throughout the south.
Cotton men seem to be ~reconciled
to an approaching period of depres-

sufficient storage facilities for this
surplus. so that perfectly good cotton
may not go to waste.
IF these two matters are attended
to, the generality of cotton men are
inclined to believe that no matter how
orders may fall off and prices slump,
the cotton growing states will pull

War Is to Blame

War is a lapse into barbarism, into savagery. Intelligence and reason fail in the settlement of in- ternational problems, and brute force is resorted to. The old sav- age instincts are appealed to and the warning armies become armies of savages. We had thot that in the present century, though turn ing savages to fight, the soldiers of civilized nations would yet remain civilized savages. The facts do not bear out this hope.
 First we heard of the savage out rages committed by the Russians in German Poland. Women were brutally assaulted by the soldiers and young girls were born away to be enslaved to the lusts of the men.
 Now come the reports from the German army in Belgium and northern France. Children are stolen from their parents, wives are assaulted and the fair girls as young as fourteen are seized and born away by the soldiers to satis- fly their passions.
 What could be worse? The Yel- low Peril loses it's horror when compared with this. These sav- ages civilized? We'll hardly!
 If the English or the French or even our own soldiers were the in- vaders, would conditions be better? We would hope so but the true story of former invasions by any of these does not make good reading. It is war that is the root of the evil. Neither crushing Germany nor crushing the Allies will put an end to these outrages. It is war that we must stop. We must settle our difficulties by appealing to the higher man and not to the lower.
 When cur resentment rises at reading of horrors of this struggle, let us not be misled, as to the real cause, war. Let our protests rise against it until justice and not brute force shall decide interna- tional questions.

Worthless International Laws

One author has said that Inter- national law in no more, and that if we are to have international law in the future it will have 10 be written after this war is over. The old international rulings seem to have been ruthlessly broken in the present struggle. Farther than that many new problems have arisen due to the new method of warfare, that have no precedents by which to be judged. Among these are the Submarine Blocade, the torpedoing of ships without warning, and many problems aris- ing from the use of aircraft in war fare. One is inclined to ask what is the use of writing international law if it is to receive no more con- sideration in times of war than at present. The lesson to be learned from the present struggle is that international law will be nothing but worthless words until it has a strong police force back of it to en- force it.
