100000 BALES OF COTTON
Ocean freights are so high that there is
a difference of cents a pound between
the price OF raw cotton i'm New York as
compared with Liverpool.
The Governments final estimate on this
years cotton crop is II, 100000 bales. Ow-
Ing to the labor shortage. the production
normal The Canadian and American
mills are using more cotton than usual,
but not enough to counterbalance the
reduction In European exports The cot
ton stocks in Europe, both in England
and on the Continent. are very low. and
sudden termination of the war would
send cotton prices soaring.
woDLEN YARNS.
ftTTba ,l,yo gtg t.
ton" said David T. Fleisher of S. B. &
b. w. Fleisher, Inc. Prices of wooden
yarns are going up from n number of
causes, principally on account of the in
crease in the prices OF wool. In the man
ufacturing business, he explained, such as
ours, the nearer you get to the raw ma
terial the greater will be the fluctuations
of prices, because the raw material is
the principal item of cost.
AS the manufacturing process goes on
and you convert the yarn into cloth the
labor cost is the dominant one: the cost
of the raw material has become subor-
dinate." For that reason, he said. the
prices of woolen and worsted yarns are
subject to greater and more frequent
fluctuations, the result of the ,requent
changes In the prices of wool, than the
manufactured cloth.
BUSINESS WITH SOUTH AMERICA.
Referring to the development of South
American business by the merchants and
manufacturers OF the United States. the
Philadelphia representative of the City
Bank of New York says that we must
bear in mind that the countries of South
America must be large producers in Or
der to be large purchasers and that
everything possible should be done to en-
courage investments by the United States
to develop these countries. so that their
productive power can re inc ased, and
thus make them better markets for
American products.
Germany and Great Britain established
their enormous trade with South America
in this way, and now that the opportu-
nifty has come to this country without
the seeking we should grasp 1t before
] conditions change again.

TELLS OF COUNTY WORK

Tor Rural Life in Hcnrico-PubIic
Schools CO-Opcrntc.

school Superintendent j. n. Harris.
OF Hcnrico County. told Yesterday of
the industrial work in that county as
follows:
Henrico County occupies n rather
peculiar position in regard TO demon
stration work on account of It's
proximity to the city of Richmond
This county has no farm demonstration.
but has a live. active county agent In
the person of Miss Sylvia FL Slocum
Miss Slocum reports that she has sixty
girls in the canning club all of whom
have splendid gardens, and are already
doing good deal of canning In adj
dition TO these, there are ten CO.
operators or girls who are too old to
JOIN the canning clubs. together with
thirty demonstrators. Miss Slocum
has held several house parties i'm the
county where the members of the can
ming clubs, along with their mothers
and fathers. have come to hear lectures
ana see demonstrations in canning.
Il want to speak especially ahout
the poultry club work which is now
under the supervision of a county
agent In this county there is one Of
the Invest. most active poultry clubs
III the State, over 100 boys and GIRLS
have poultry. and ] am very cnthu-
siastic in regard TO the exhibit at the
state Fair this fall know of no
work in connection with our schools
that | deem of more Importance than
this work, as Henrico County is csne
cially suited to canning club and poul
Try club work, and il is my purpose
TO see that this work is pushed.
UNIQUE RESULTS
IN COLORED SCHOOLS
IL want also to speak Of the colored
work in the county. Hcnrico has one
of the ablcst colored supervisors in the
person of Virginia T. Randolnh
There are about fifty members of the
canning club and seven,y-five i'm the
poultry club. These negro BOYS and
girls arc raising pure bred Plymouth
Rocks only. Reports coming into this
office show that they have over 700
chickens, and [ am sure they will
make a creditabIe exhibit at the State
Fair.
Virginia Randolph has established
what is known as a Colored Industrial
Exchange OH Broad Street, where the
products of the canning club and the
poultry club will be marketed. This
Colored Industrial Exchange is meet
ing longfelt want in the life Of the
colored people of Henrico, and IL is
the intention Of Virginia Randolph to
so develop this marketing feature that
instead Of fifty gardens. there will be
5000 among the old and the young
whose products will go through this
exchange.
The progress of this work in Hen
rico is only measured by the amount
OF money available to take care Of it.
We hope by another year to be in
position to extend the work along other
lines"

one of the scenic wonders of the world
and in the town of Burke, lives Isaac
Aldrich, 102 years old, one Of the old
est if not the Oldest man to be present
at the polls and to cast his vote at the
last election.
The unusual age to which this man
has attained would not be suspected
by looking at him, for he has few or
the infirmities usually incidental to
many years. His hearing and eyesight
are but little impaired, while his gen
eral appearance is that OF activity and
yigor The combined age of this man
and his wife is 1873 years.
If any conclusions are to be drawn,
it may be said that this couple have
reached this far milestone in life by
being temperate in all things. Mr. Al
drich has used tobacco in moderation
and is quoted as saying that in con
formity to the social customs of the
present and past times he has not felt
that an occasional use of stimulants in
a reasonable and decent manner is
degrading or criminal.
For many years he was a resident

His first vote was cast for Andrew
Jackson. Since that time he has with
