LARGER EXPORTS OF COTTON
Had Wholesome Influence In Correct
mo Collapse Of Prices-Trade Bal
ance OF 5000, 900.

The increase in exports OF cotton
manufactures has had a wholesome
influence In correcting the collapse
Of cotton prices in the South, but al
though the total exports for the last
ten months exceed by several million
dollars the cotton exports for similar
periods in the past, the real test can
be made only In the domestic mar
ket.
OfHcial figures made public by the
department of commerce show an
indicated export total Of approx
mately $75,OOO.0O0 for the fiscal year,
whine imports will fall below $50.000.-
900, making a favorable balance OF
trade amounting to $25.000,0OO. This
net business done by American manu-
facturers cannot fail to be gratifying.
Il means that there will be $4,000. 900
to be spent in the United States,
which otherwise would have been held
In Europe.
Administration officials, however
should pay greater attention to the
Improvement of domestic conditions
says Washington Post. These condi
lions have been improving, but the
department of commerce would dc
we'll to consider all possible methods
OF increasing domestic trade.

Radium in Air and Soil.

JR. Wright and o. F. Smith at Ma
Mia have spent more than year in
investigating the amount OF radium
in the air and in the soil under diner
ing conditions. The effect OF weather
conditions upon the rate at which ra-
dunn emanation is exhaled from the
ground and the relation of the rate OF
exhalation to the radioactivity OF soil
gas at different depths were also In
vestigated. Rainfall and wind move
ment seem to be the principal meteor
illogical controls, the amount OF en-
anation in the air being greatest
when these factors are at mini
mum, and vice versa. A decided al
urnal variation is found to ex
list, the emanation content beine
considerably greater by night than b,
day. The rate at which radiun
emanation is exhaled from the surfac'
of the ground shows a decided de
crease after periods Of heavy rain.

SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken in Se'ec-
ton Of the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

II YOU were without preparation or
plan. rudely placed in a wilderness,
your first thought would be OF food
supply and your next Of shelter, for
these are the two most vital necessi-
ties of mankind. 1t Is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen
tails.
More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry IN the
past fifteen years, as regards comfort,
service and architectural beauty than
in the fifty years previous.
Only in recent years has the hand
ling of cement in building work been
understood properly, and progress Is
still constantly being made with 1t.
Modern hotels and Office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal
mouldings and steel veenered doors.
Nearly every important change IN
building construction is away from
the fire hazard Of wood.
One of the most significant develop
ments Of recent years is the crushed
slate surfaced asphalt single which
is. on new construction and old, rapid
" supplanting the wooden article
There are many reasons for this. The
slate surfaced shingles add beauty tt
any building-in fact, there fs reall,
no comparison from an architecture
standpoint. Crushed slate Of pleasing
tints of red or green, is employed as
surfacing. The shingles are uniform
" eight inches wide and are exposed
four inches to the weather. No paint
ing is necessary as the red or greer
crushed slate is natural and therefor
, cannot fade.
The purchaser, however, shoul'
guard himself against buying a Stat
surfaced single that is not guarar
teed by a reliable and responsible
manufacturer. There are so man
,, kinds of roofing and shingles on tn
market today each claiming to be tn
best that it becomes necessary for tn
E buyer to get some satisfactory assn
e ance that the roofing or shingles ar
d represented honestly.

RATHER GAVE HIMSELF AWAY

Uncle Eph, an old colored man, was

The man, he declared. had tried to kill

During the cross-examination the
attorney, Lawyer Bennett. demanded,
Dare you say that my client attacked

Uncle Eph," with a nervous gulp.

COOPERATION IN AUSTRALIA
Societies Organized for Purchase and
Sale-own Valuable Warehouses
Handle Farm Machinery.

Australian agriculture has peculiari-
ties Of its own. In the early days
farms were usually eighty acres in
extent, but various conditions, among
which no doubt the dryness of the
climate was predominant, made farms
Of this size economically Improbable,
and the range in size now is from one
to five thousand acres, stocked with
modern machinery, and so equipped
generally that each is Independent OF
all others. Naturally cooperation,
such as we have among small farmers
and fruit growers, would not and could
not develop. Instead of this, coop

These societies have their thousands

handle machinery and farm supplies,
and conduct a huge volume Of bust
ness.
There are two societies in particu-
lar that call for attention. One has
been in existence about twenty-five
years, and now has 5000 members. Be-
sides its machinery and produce ware
houses in various parts of the country,
it conducts a large banking business
and publishes a monthly magazine.
The society handles practically every
thing going from and coming to the
farm. All profits, outside of an ample
reserve fund, are distributed among
the members who hold about seventy
thousand shares; not less than ten
shares may be held by any member
and the largest actual number held Is
about two hundred and fifty. The vot
ing power is, therefore, well distrib
uted, and is so limited that 1t Is i'm
possible for any small group Of mer
to obtain control. Shares are trans
ferred under certain limitations. Sever
directors manage the society, the bus
mess of which is divided into depart
ments.
The other organization was startet
, about eighteen years ago. This grew
out of the dissatisfaction which Gel
tain farmers felt with prices obtaine'
In the town. They appointed thei
own agent in the city market; tn
agent was charged with the sale o
the wood and the purchase Of needle
