now almost 800 cotton mills, with 100000
spindles. The capital invested is quarter
OF billion dollars
The size of cotton mill is measured BY
the number of spndles The spindle is the
slender rod on which the thread is twisted
and wound by machinery. There are hun
dreds and thousands of them in a great
modern mill. In all the world there are
now, in round numbers, 13oO0QO0O such
splndles, and they spin about all the cotton

the United States has easily more than one
fifth of the whole That means that of every
five yards of cotton worn by men, women
and children anywhere on this big, round
earth, one yard is made in the United
States. We have altogether over 33,OOO,-
600 spindles. OF the remainder more than
half OF the cotton mills are to be found in

The wide extent of cotton manufacture
throughout the world and the attempts OF
nearly every great nation to set ND cot

its own demand that our cotton factories
should be brought to the highest state Of
efficiency, and that the cotton be made at
the least possible cost. Prior to the war all
OF the great powers had started movements
to create cotton supply OF their own
England was pushing the industry in Easr
India, and was making experiments in its
seh1-troplcal and tropical colonies in Al
RIGA. During my stay in Uganda | visited
cotton mill not far from Lake Victoria,
and about as far inland from the Indian
ocean as the distance between New York
and Chicago. The mill was equipped with
English and American machinery and it
was ginning cotton which had been raised
by the natives. ] found the Germans ex-
perimenting with raising cotton opposite

might be used for that crop The wages OF
the orient will always be great handicap
against the importation OF American cot
ton goods, and England has certain eli
matte advantages which enable it to make
certain kinds OF cotton manufactures BET
ter than we can. The district OF Lanca-
shire. OF which | have written, is said to
have the best climate and water supply fof
cotton making known to the world The
best OF the territory is only 40 miles long
and about 10 miles in width 1t is a little
basin with hills at the east which furnish a
copious water supply Under the basin is /
bed of stiff clay that holds the water and
the evaporation is just enough TO keep the
air in a moist condition needed to fit the
cotton fibers for weaving, To make the
best cotton goods the atmosphere must be
neither too warm nor too dry. If it is the
fbers become brittle and will not twist we'll
II it is too moist they collapse and stick In
Lancashire county the atmosphere and
other conditions seem to be just right, and
this is perhaps the reason that that little
section more than 5000 miles from the cot
ton fields is able to pay the freight and
build up an industry which pays the work
ers of England hundreds of millions OF dol
lars every year in wages and supplies a
great part OF the cotton goods OF the world.
1t is for reasons somewhat similar to
those which have built up the Lancashire
county industry that we find SO many OF orr
