THRIFT AFTER THE WAR,
s. w. Thomas Looks for Long Era of Rebuilding.

After the war will come long era of rebuilding and readiustment The nations that are fighting today forth for further conqueats-not of shrapnel and bayonets, but of gold" This declaration is made by s. w. .Straus, president of the American So ciety for Thrift in the current issue of the Thrift Magazine.
 "It will be fight for business the world around and each nation will succeed in exact proportioh to tho in dividual efficiency of it's citizens. Therefore, it stands Us we'll in hand today to look to our future ito see if We are adequately equipped for this great era of business rivalry.
 "After the war, we shall have a great merchant marine and we shall be in a stronger financial position than any nation now at war. In many regards, we shall have tremendous advantage over all rivals.
 But when it comes to the matter of individual thrift, we shall be at a disadvantage.
 "America's record in all matters pertaining to individual thrift has been disgraccful. We have been known throughout the world as spend thrifts. In the great commercial struggle between the nations of the earth that is to follow the dawn of .peace the rigid practices of individual thrift wll be necessary # we hope to hold our own in this worldwide

NEEDED REFORMS IN
 MARKETING COTTON

Take it all in all and from start to finish. and we doubt whether any other crop grown by civilized men so blunderingly and unscientifitally mar keted as cotton. Let us see what are the outstanding features:
 1. Thousands of gins njure the lint seriously in the process of ginning. Competent authorities declare that considerable proportion of the gins ill the South are so shamefully antiquat- ed that they should not be allowed to operate at all.
 2. The bagging is too often ragged and inefficient for the purpose of holding in the cotton and keeping 1t elean. 3Farmersi Bul5atin No. 764 to which we have already called at tention discusses this point ill detail- the shamefully ragged covering now put on cotton and "the losses which occur from the time the cotton is ginned until it arrives at the mill. a large proportion of the expense of which is borne indirectly by him the farmer The writer has himself heard heard foreign manufactures de clare that they never used American cotton when it was possible 10 get cot ton of suitable staple from other coun- tries simply because of the waste re- sulting from our ragged bagging.
 3. Not content with rotten bagging along, we then make bad matters worse by leaving cotton out in the weather frequently for weeks and months. It is folly to think that man C., pay for water in cotton, or that they will pay as much for damaged cotton g.; for clean dry lint. The farmer who thinks that through rain and dew he has goined $1 in weight in a bale of cotton ought to realize that he is docked $2 to $20 in grade for every dollar he imagines he has gained in weight. For Texas alone authorities recently estimated loss of $3,000,000 a year through country damage. 4. While buyers are careful to cut prices to the farmer on grades below middling, they do not give the farmer snything like the extra price he should receive for grades above middling. In some sections buyers simply take all cotton as it comes early in the sea-
 son, accepting it as "middling" with 1 out examination, and then begin grad ing or chasing later in the season. l The explanation is that early in the l season very large part of the cotton | is better than middling, and the grow CT should have an extra premium for l it. This extra premium Mir. Buyer I pockets, and says never word about
 there being grades above middling. l But later in the season when poorer grades of cotton are coming in, the l buyer uses very rigid grading or class ing, and the farmer is, sure to find out that there are grades below mid l ding even if he never finds out that
 there are grades above middling.-The Progressive Farmer.

The triumph of the people over autocracy in Russia may easily prove the greatest single event of the last generation of men, and the triumph is the more interesting to us because Russia is largely rural country. Rural community life there is already well developed and the revolution will doubtless tremendously advance rural progress.-The Progressive Farmer
