COTTON ECONOMICS
By w. w. MORRISON

While the cost of growing cotton this year was perhaps the highest of rec ord, it is practically certain now that the cost will be still higher next year. Since existing conditions make this forecast of unusual importance, it seems well to review the outlook in this connection with some detail at this time.
 From the beginning to the close of this season there was a gradual ad- vance in the price of the principal products which enter into the cost of production. A careful investigation points to the prices which prevailed in March as fairly representating the average cost for the crop. The fixing of prices by the government and the general trend of values indicates that these commodities will, at least, be no lower and still probably higher next year than they are today. Hence a comparison between the prices which prevailed in March and which have been current in December will, in a way, serve as safeguard in our call culations regarding prices next year. While the prices given below may vary somewhat in different communi- ties, our investigation shows them to OO d QGptliudDle average.

 The advance in acid phosphate, the | principal ingredient in fertilizer, has been around B 1-3 per cent, cotton goods around 40 per cent and farm implements more than 50 per cent There has been a decided advantage in live stock, but it varies so that ii IS difficult to give an average that would be trustworthy As to labor one cannot, even remotely, approxi mate what the additional cost will be Its scarcity is real menace.
 The indicated cost of these staple products for next year, it will be noted, is much above what has beer the cost in the production of this years crop. It will be noted also, thai this cost is well above three times more than these products cost wher the average price of cotton was around 10 cents pound. We refel our friends to our circular of Marcl l7th last. These records are import ant not only on account of what they forecast as to prices next season, bu on account of the physiological eff feet they are certain to have on tn, prices for the balance of this season For the producer, it must be remem bered, is alert and will hardly be dis posed to sell his cotton for less thai it will cost 50 replace it.

him; there will be few to equal him, but none to surpass him. Perhaps not all of us can realize his import ance as a pianistic interpreter, and but few of us understand his mes sage; however, most of us can com pensate with appreciation.
 Come again, friend Bauer, and bring us the joy that only music master fully rendered can bring, and cause us to forget the sordid world, in it's upheaval, if only for an hours time, for the musical lovers of Phoenix know a moster when they meet him, out here on the enchanted desert.

CBy Charles Frederick Carlson)
 The pianistic art of Harold Bauer will long be remembered by music lovers of Phoenix, mostly because or his highly temperamental and master ly interpretation, so wonderfully sea- soned by a sane musical judgment, and because of his refinement of touch and tone.
 His recital Monday evening was another musical triumph, added to his already world wide fame. and not a being present was indifferent to his tone glories, unless they could not be moved by the concord of sweet sound, for the house was most enthusiastic with an abundance CT applause for each number, so won derfully played.
 The Sonata, Beethoven's fifty-thirc musical work for the piano, was played and interpreted with that deep reverential musical feeling so char acteristic of this master of the key board, and held the audience in pro- found meditation until the last note. The Adagio-pronounc "sh-dah- jio,'-the slow movement of the com position, was enchanted tone dream ing, and the artist seemed to be lost from the world in. it's unhea val

ment will fix the price of raw cotton, although quite a large section of the trade construed the speech of the president to mean as much. It is evil dent that he referred to the producers of those food products which have al- ready been regulated. The speech made it plain, however that should a price for cotton be established, it would be based upon the cost of pro- duction and a reasonable profit added In view of the records, this points rather definitely to price that would be higher than any yet realized in the market. In this connection, the presi- dents speech is to be regarded as sig nificant and certainly not in any sense as conveying reactionary attitude of the government towards the price of cotton.
 The cotton crop it should be re- membered, is vastly important, not only in prosecuting the war, but in maintaining the commercial and fi- nancial supremacy of the nation both during and after the war comes to a ! close. Protecting the cotton produc- ing industry is, therefore, in keeping with the highest statesmanship, and it can be expected. Indeed, the history of production through recent years indicates that the time is much nearer than many of us suspect, when the l government will find it just as vital 1 to stimulate the production of cotton as it has been to stimulate the pro-
 duction of food. What would happen
 if there should be a succession oi crop disaster.
 Should the official estimate on tho l 11th be followed by decline, it would
 not likely materially affect spot cot
 ton. It would probably only mean 6
 further increase of discounts. Would buy on such a break.

MAUDE MARIE COSTELLO
Explains How to Prepare Best Bak.
 ings at Lowest Expense

Women's organizations all over America have paid-and gladly-good round sums for lectures on domestic science delivered .by Maude Marie Costello. And invariably obtained big value for their money, as Miss Cos tello tells women just how they may conduct their affairs of cookery in the best possible manner-at the low est prices.
 It is however, unnecessary for the women of this city to travel many miles or to spend a sim of money to obtain the benefit of Miss Costello's teachings. As we are now running in this paper a series of articles writ ten by Miss Costello. When so many women are eager to secure Miss Cos tello's suggestions at a price, certainly every reader of our paper should watch for and profit by this splendid series of articles.
 It is doubtful whether another woman ever contributed as much to- ward the conservation" of food costs and selection of purest baking in- gradients. as has Miss Costello. Miss Costello is a graduate of the

University of Chicago and the Lewis institute. She is a lecturer of world wide reputation-and a teacher of do- nestle science in the public schools.
 The results of her vast experience the fruits of her many scientific ex- periments with baking ingredients are .ayed before you in her series of arti- cles.
 They show women the error of mis- management-the folly of paying ex- orbitant prices and the risk of pur- chasing merchandise of questionable quality. They raise cookery to the high plane of certain success-and point out means of reduction in bak- ing costs.
 Don't miss a one of them.

Will Receive Medals Although only grammar school, the Alma school has included military drill in it's daily work for some time. This work is taken up in connection with the physiology and hygiene l classes, and about 50 boys are in cluded in the six squads. At a recent try-out, ten Winchester marksmanship medals were won by members of the school. The medals will be received at an early date. After the Christmas recess the girls will take up physical wands and dumbbells. The school closed Friday for the holiday vacation and Will reopen on January 2. Christmas Tree Fire | A fire of unknown origin partially destroyed the Christmas tree and dis play of holiday goods in the front window of E,verybodys drug store last evening.

Forty Churches Around
Here to Hold Anti-Saloon
League Field Day Services

The Anti-Saloon League field day
services will be held in forty churches
of Harrisburg and vicinity January 2S.
The league to-day issued a resume of
the work that has been done along
temperance lines in the United States.
According to a statement isued by
the Rev. f. f. Holsopple, there are
2,543 counties in the United States;
all but 305 are dry. Twenty-three
states have adopted prohibition. -Four
of these states went dry in 1914. Four
teen states will vote on the question
within two years. Florida and Utah
elected prohibition governors in No
vember. The United States Supreme
Court has pronounced the Kenyon
Webb Sheppard bill constitutional
the greatest victory of temperance to
date. The Senate voted the District of
Columbia dry by vote of SO to 32. 1t
is generally believed by the temper
ance people that the House will con-
cur. The submission of a resolution
for national constitutional prohibition
has been reported favorably by the
judiciary committee.
This said Superintendent Hol-
sopple. ''is the splendid record that
gives us the courage to continue the
fight"
