 "3. The above measures were all de- signed to alleviate the burdens inn posed upon neutral sea- borne commerce in general Various special concessions. over and above those enumerated, have moreover been made in favor of United States citizens
 "A. That his majesty's government have acted, as regards shipments of American cotton, in accordance with representa- tions of American interests. In accept ing this scheme, the principal represen- tative of those interests described it as conceding all that American interests could properly ask. The provisions of the arrangements were, as the United States ambassador is aware, as follows:
 a. All cotton for which contracts of sale and freight engagements have all ready been made before the 2d of March is to be allowed tor bought at contract price if stopped), provided the ship sails not later than the 31st March
 D. Similar treatment is to be accorded to all cotton insured before the 2d March, provided it is put on board not later than the 18th March.
 "c. All shipments of cotton claiming the above protection are to be declared be- fore sailing and documents produced to, and certificates obtained from consular officers or other authority fixed by the government.
 '5. Considerable shipments of cotton have already been dealt with under this arrangement and in certain cases the dates specified have been extended in favor of American shippers. The board of trade have already paid a sum ex- ceeding s450.000 to various American claimants, and all claims are being and will continue to be paid as rapidly as they are presented and the proofs of title can be checked. If in some cases progress has been delayed this has been due to the fact which has seriously em- barrassed his majesty's government-that number of consignments, for which the American shippers had specifically in- voked the protection of the arrangement are now claimed by Swedish and Dutch

 1T With the above exceptions his majesty's government regret they can- not continue to deal through the dip lomatie channel with individual cases, but they would again point out that special provision Is made for the con slderation of such cases in the prize court.
 "1S. Complaints have not infrequent- ly been made that undue delay occurs in dealing with American cargoes in the prize court. An interesting com rient on this subject was made by tlc president of the prize court In the case of the cargo ex-steamship Oroe- chee on the 14th instant. His lordship, according to. the transcript from the official shorthand writer's notes. made the following observations.

He is hefty left-handed hitter and now cherishes mark over 300 for the season.
 While Michigan is forwarding Sisler to the majors Cornell is giving Steve Reagan. a star left-hander. While he has several bids from the majors, the Boston Red Sox are supposed to have first call.

successful in removing freckles and
giving a clear, beautiful complexion
that it is sold by Bassett Drug Co.,
under guarantee to refund the

Don't hide your freckles under a

plications should show wonderful
improvement, some of the lighter
freckles vanishing entirely.

trouble or expense than the work Of
stating what he desires, and the
expense of a postage stamp if he
finds it inconvenient to call at the
Distribution Office in person. Meth
err is any fee accepted by the Gov
eminent from those seeking employ
ment. 1t goes even further; every
postmaster in the United States is
representative of this Employ
ment Bureau. At every post Office
in the United States will be found,
on application to the postmaster,
blanks for use of employers in need
of help and for the use Of persons
seeking employment. These blanks,
upon being handed to the postmaster
are transmitted by him, free Of
charge, to the proper zone office,
where both blanks are properly reg
istered, and proper help selected for
the employer in need of help, either
from applicants residing in the city
in which the Office is located, or from
the applications on file. On the day
the employers application is receiv-
ed by the Distribution Office, copy
is sent to the Division of Informa-
ton, at Washington, d. C. At fire.
quent intervals these applications
are assembled and published in the
form Of bulletins and distributed to
all Distribution OFFICES, thereby
making it possible for each Office to
know where help of any description
is in demand.

OF INTEREST TO EN-
PIOYERS AND OTHERS

Few of our readers are, perhaps
aware that the United States Gov
eminent, through the Department OF
Labor, has inaugurated as part
of the Division Of Information a
country wide employment bureau.
It is the belief Of those connected
with the work that it will go far
toward improving business condi-
tions in the United States. The
underlying principle of the work is,
perhaps, best expressed by the Sec
rotary Of Labor in the following
words:
"The Department of Labor has
established Distribution branches
throughout the country for the
purpose on the one hand of devel-
oping the welfare of the wage earn
ers of the United States and improv-
ing their opportunities for profitable
employment, and on the other hand
of affording to employers a method
whereby they may make application
for such help as they need, either
male or female, citizens or alien res
idents, and have their wants sup
piled through said Distribution
Branches"
Comparative statistics show that
there has been in some portions of
the United States surplus Of Ia
Dor, while in other portions defic-
iency. 1t is believed that this con-
dition will be almost, if not entire
ly, eliminated by this work. This
will appear from the following brief
explanation of the system under
which the work is conducted:
The United States has been di-
vided into eighteen sections, OF
distribution Zones" as they are
called, and in each of these zones
an employment office has been open
ed. These zones in nearly every
case have been sub divided and
branch Offices opened under the
jurisdiction of the controlling zone
Office. This means that a large
number Of employment offices have
been opened by the United States
Government. At these Offices the
employer who needs help of any

MUST THINK PEOPLE ARE FOOLS

Stanley spoke at Horse Cave with
his heart all aglow for the County
Unit like all the wholesale liquor
houses and all the distilleries in the
State.
Why is he for the County Unit ?
Why are the liquor forces Of the
State preaching the County Unit
doctrine that is excluding their
liquor from scores of counties in
the Statei 1t is because this great
wave of reform has declared it as
law and they dread the impending
doom Of a bigger unit than a county
unit. The idea of Stanley the rec
ognized tongue of the liquor forces
being for the County Unit when he
sweated blood four years ago in
fighting it in the convention at
LOUISVILLE, and we understand thai
there are sworn affidavits to the
effect that he sought to get tn,

The liquor interests Of Kentucky
claim to be in favor Of the county
unit laws Of Kentucky because they
know the State is overwhelmingly
dry and that the people are itching
for a change to vote it that way,
Also, because the present laws
permit them to ship liquor into the
dry counties. No temperance man
should allow himself to be fooled in
to voting for the candidates of the
iqour interests because they claim
to be for the county unit. Before
