Sean1en's Act and
Similar Laws Elsewhere.

A bulletin issued by the bureau Of
foreign and domestic commerce of
the department of commerce, makes
&c possible to find out just how the
nnudh discussed searnenas act COM
parssswfth similar laws IN other mar
itfne countries. No attempts at con-
troversy Is made In the bureaus re-
port, and no conclusions are drawn.
The principal provisions of the DIFF
ferent maritime laws are set forth
In surhaa manner that the reader may
make his own comparisons and form
his own opinions. Special Agent Gros-
venor NJ Jones, the author of the re-
port, confined his attention 10 Great
Britain, France, Germany, Norway,
Japan and the United States.
Considerable attention is given to
strictness and detail of vessel inspec-
ton In the selected countries. The
testing of boilers is of particular in
terest because the American test has
been called unduly severe. A hydro
static or hydraulic test is applied at
regular intervals to boilers on Brit
ish, German, Norwegian, French and
Japanese ships as well as those I'M
der the United States flag. In this
country the test pressure is one and
one-half times the maximum allow
able working pressure of the boilers.
In Great Britain the test pressure Is
twice the working pressure for new
boilers and from one and one-half to
one and three-fourths times the work.
ing pressure for old boilers. In Ger
many and France the general rule is
to make the test pressure one and
one-haf times the working pressure.
One of the features Of the German
regulations is the requirement of
rigid physical examination Of all sail
orslon German vessels. This rule has
long been in force, and the examina-
tion seems to be even more severe
than that required by the new Sea-
mems act. Norwegian sailors are
also required to pass a searching
physical examination, but seemingly
nothing of this sort is asked of sailors
ON British, French and Japanese
ships.
A much taTked-of feature Of the
Seamen's act has been the language
test requirement. The British have
similar test In their British merchant
shipping act of 1906, which provides
that no seamen shall be employed
upon any British ship at any port in
the United Kingdom or on the CONT
nent between the River E1be and
Brest unless he possesses ga sufficient
knowledge of the English language to
understand the necessary orders"
This law, however, does not apply
'sto any British subject, inhabitant of
a British protectorate, or to any Las
ear"
The measurement rules of the
United States have often been crit
icized as giving our vessels a higher
tonnage than the rules of other coun-
tries impose upon their vessels. Since
the tonnage of ship is the basis of
various port and other charges, COM
plants against an excessive tonnage
rating are natural. Upon comparing
the measurement rules of the several
countries, as given in the bureaus re-
port, it would seem, however, that
the American rules are now fully as
liberal as those Of The other coun-
tries.

-Four Definite Suggestions.

Right now, we wish to make
four definite suggestions looking
to wise investment of this years
funds. They are:
l. Put your money in a bank
So long as it is in your pocket or
in the housethe temptation tospend
is much greater. Besides it is
more businesslike to pay all bills
by check, and the returned check
serves as a receipt. Your neigh
borhood ought to have credit
union, and you should start one il
possible, but if you can't, then put
your money in bank.
2. Guard against Time Prices"
next year. An investigation made
by The Progressive Farmer in 1915
showed that time prices average %
Upper cent.in excess Of cash prices.
Assuming that the average per-
iod between purchase and pay
ment is four monts, this is equiva-
lent to borrowing at 70 per cent.
per year-or ten times a fair rate
of interest. This is the year of all
years for the farmer to put some
thing aside so that he will not be a
time.price slave next year. IN
less you can borrow money other.
wise at about the legal rate of
interest and SO pay cash for what
YOU buv-unless you can and will
do this, we say, be sure to put
aside enough to save you from
paying 70 per cent. time prices"
next season.
3. Put money.making invest
ments ahead Of money-eating in
vestments. Education and things
to make the good wife's work easier
should be considered without

yond these let's figure which pur-
chases will merely eat money and
which will make money. Let's buy
the things that will make money

better livestock, ETC., -and then we
shall be in better fix next year to
buy the things that are desirable

4. Have a family council on

get catalogs and price lists of these

a little time for this, but it will be
time well spent. Ask advice also

from town business men, and

CABLES STEADY
 COTTON MARKET
Weather Conditions in Tex as Effect Continued Moist
 Weather in East Belt

New Orleans, July 21.-The main influ- ences working in the cotton market today about balanced with the result that price movements were within a narrow range. The most active months at their highest were to points over yesterdays close and at their lowest they were to points under The close was at a net decline of to 2 points.
 Good cables caused momentary steadi- ness on the opening, after which selling increased on the rains and lower temper atures in the western belt. Texas rains were considered strong bearsh feature and at first were regarded by many traders as fully offsetting the continued moist weather in the eastern belt. The detailed reports from the weather bu- reau, however, showed almost general rains over large part of the cotton re- zion east of the Mississippi river, and as the season progressed apprehension in- creased regarding the effect of the down. pour. After the decline of half dozen points the market recovered and at noon was about at yesterdays closing level.
 Bearish traders made much of tele- grams from Texas telling of the begin hing of picking at several points, but no selling power developed.
