It is rather startiing to learn that 1t

counts for about 100000 bales of cot
ton, largely linters and waste.
Then there Is the enormous demand
for absorbent cotton and bandages.
This probably calls for about 50,00o,-
600 pounds Of cotton annually, or
about 100000 bales. In fact, 1t is quite
likely that figures could be deducted
to show that the war demand for cot
ton is largely counterbalancing the
loss Of regular demand due to the pros
tration Of the industry in Germany,
Austria, Belgium and France.

these railroads have been building many
additions and betterments, which they
were charging to operating expenses. In
other words, after paying return on
their investment, we have been build
ing their properties for them, and then
are required to pay a return not only
on their investment, but also on our
investment, on what we build for them.
This is fundamentally unsound and I'M
just.
President Delton, of the Great West
ern frankly admitted, on direct evidence,
that practically one half of the cost OF
additions and betterments could be
charged to operating expenses, and that
very large sums were SO charged during
the past four years. President Bush OF
the Missouri Pacific admitted that large
portions of the cost OF rebuilding his
road during recent years had been paid
out OF operating revenue, and charged to
expenses. Mr.. Weetling, a witness for
all OF the railroads, made a similar adj
mission, but was unable 10 state how
much OF that had been so charged. The
OF the sum involved may be
grasped, when it is noted that Mr.. Wet
things exhibit shows that over $5OO,-
100000 have been expended in additions
and betterments BY these western rail
roads during the past seven years. Ii
il safe to say that the cost OF additions
and betterments amounting TO several
hundred million dollars, has been charged
TO operating expenses by the western
railroads during recent years. So long

band. Mrs. Bump, wife of the plaintiff,
described as a witness in county court

AGED man, by Constable Charles o.
Wooster of Chittenden, who is the de-
fendant in civil suit for 5000 dam
ages now on trial by jury, The alleged
maltreatment took place when Wooster
went TO Bumps house ON May 10, 1914,
TO arrest the latter on warrant eharg-

How Fatigue Will Poison You.

In the April American Magazine Ida
VI. Tarbell writes another article in her
new business series, entitled "The Golden
Rule in Business" This months article
takes up the length of the working day.
Many interesting points and stories are
brought out showing the baneful effects
of too long working day. On the sub
ject of how fatigue wears out the human
body Miss Tarbell writes in part as fol.
lows:
"Men and women come in the morning
to their tasks with a spring of fresh
energy within them. Little by little
during the hours of labor they empty
that spring. When it is dry they must
draw from forces which should be uli-
touched. BY some strange chemistry
which no one understands too well, these
intrnsions. on the physical forces which
should be inviolate produce in the human
system a true toxic ondition-tatiglfe
poison, auto poison the scientists call II.
"If this fatigue poison passes a point
where the period of rest following Is
not equal to the task of throwing il of
and filling afresh the spring OF energy,
the man goes back 10 his toll little un
fit; the longer he goes on the more unit
he becomes. Slowly the poison invades
his system. The repairing forces food,
relaxation. pleasures and sleep-become
less and less equal to the task. The
man becomes more aud more open 20 the
attack Of disease; less and less able TO
do his work; unfit to improve upon IL
unable 20 grow. He is an unsafe man,
too, one not 10 he trusted among ma
chimes in dangerous places. The man
has been poisoned into unftness-by the
slow accumulation Of fatigue poison
which he could not throw of.
sIt was not work which did this. IL
was too much work. He needed the
work 10 keep him ft. Without Il or It's
equivalent, regular physical exercise,
his spring of energy would have a. sure

The spring Of energy standing idle would
have soured within him.
1t has taken years Of observation
and experiment 10 establish with any
thing like scientific accuracy the baneiul
effects on the laborer and his product Of
tie too long day. This has been done
finally with a completeness which even
the courts are recognizing. Moreover, IN

Good Advice About Investments.

Herbert Quick, editor of Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper pub
lished at Springfield, Ohio, publishes
some good advice about investments in
the current issue of that publication.
Following is part of what Mr.. Quick has
to say:
"The safest protection against losses
from bad investments lies in keeping in
mind the fact that there are two ele-
ments in every observation-disclosures and
safety. Where the investment is per-
fectly safe the interest is low; that is,
nothing is received by the investor ex-
eept pure interest.
where the returns promised are high
they consist in two things inter
est and compensation for risk.
"The risk may be OF many kinds;
among them are possible loss of princi-
pal or interest, possible failure of the
business TO live and pay profits.
Securities bought and sold regular
lv on the money markets of the world
bear prices which buyers think are fair
when these things are considered.
"'Schemes' are, of different sort.
They have no price fixed in the market,
and therefore the investor has no bene-
fit derived from the buying and selling
in the worlds markets.
"When he buys a government bond,
railway bond, municipal bond or a
bond, the market price Is
the Judgment OF the investors of the
world as to its value. This judgment of
experts, backed by the experts mon
ey. is worth a great deal to the in
weston.
'But the scheme contract or bond
which offers big profits quickly made
has no price fixed by anyone's judg-
ment. The buyers Judgment Is very
often overcome by the saIesman's talk.
"The man who feels inclined TO part
with his money on such a scheme ought
to remember that returns above aver
age interest represent risk. II the re-
turns promised run up into such figures
a. ten, twenty. forty. eighty. or a hun
dred per cent he should not forget that
the risk i very great. or The contracts
would be bought up BY moneyed men
capable Of seeing farther into the deal
than any OF us can see
