Let US consider the two items OF
cotton and wheat, The cotton con-
sists of 1852, 295,675 pounds oil g.
124,591 bales. The cotton alone
would require at the rate of 10000
bales to the ship more than 900 ship
cargoes. As there are only So weeks
in the year, it will be seen how long
it would take a ship a week to move
the cotton alone. The wheat consist
ed of 81, 6O2,974 bushels. 1t will be
an interesting calculation for the
children to figure out how many car
goes of $500 tons each would be re-
quircd to move this wheat to Europe
and. how long it would take at the
rate Of one cargo a week.
As to these two main products and
as to other farm products. not to
speak of manufactured products,
their commercial value depends upon
the foreign market. Without a for
eign market for cotton, for instance
even this year with the proDaDie croE
Of only IL million bales we have fol-
export something like five million
bales above the American consump'
ton of approximately even million
bales. Ir we could not export cot
ton, therefore, we would have a sur'
plus of five million bales and tha'
surplus would cause cotton to decline
from the present high price of 26 o
q cents a pound to a price far be
low the cost Of production. AS IL
Illustrative of this point it is neces
sary only to recall the conditions
in 1914 when at the beginning o.
the war shipping was uncertain ant
as a consequence cotton sold at 81

that there is nothing in the American
cause except the privilege Of pleas ,
ure seekers to travel OF passenger
ships to Europe must have forgotten
the specific condition upon which Ger
many offered to permit American
shipping. Without reviewing the
tragic events which caused the death
of 226 American citizens including
women and children, without discuss
inc the sinking of any particular ship,
and without even considering the four
separate and distinct promises of Ger
many in effect not to sink ships with
out safeguarding the lives of passes
gers and crews, yet it be recalled that
in her declaration of purpose of Jan
uary 81, 1917, to extend the subma-
rine zone. to Great Britain. France
and Italy and therein sink all ships
regardless of flag or cargo, she offer
ed to this country as a special favor
the privilege of sending one steamer
a week each way to the port of Fall
mouth, England, upon condition that
it should be striped with three stripes
each a meter wide, white and red al
ternating, and upon the further con
dition that a. guaranty be given that
such ships should not carry contra
band.
Perhaps one ship a week each way
would accommodate the pleasure
seekers but how much of our export
and import business would it accom-
modate?
In the fiscal year ending June 80.

products to the value of $1,123,651,-

News Snapshots
Of the Week
IN JELLY SEASON.

II Is Just about as easy TO make
jelly from apples. ounces. peaches, or
pears as from any other kind OF fruit.
II you know how. according TO Miss
Adsiie u. Root OF the Missouri College
OF Agriculture. All that is necessary
Is to add enough tartaric or citrie acid
10 the Juice TO make IL taste about as
sour as a good sour apple. This usu-
ally means about a level teaspoonful
to a quart OF juice. IL destroys the
delicate flavor of peach and pear juice
somewhat but improves the flavor OF
sweet apple and ounce juice
Blackberries, blueberries. raspber-
ries. partially ripe grapes, crab ap-
pies. sour apples, and plums usually
make good jelly because they have
enough acid already and also contain
a substance called pectin which must
be present and must be brought out
with the juice by heating IL jelly Is
to be made. That Is why jelly-makers
do not simply press out the juice from
cold fruit. All apples ana similar
fruits have enough pectin for jelly
making purposes.

Health Hints for Hot Weather.

Be sure the leftover food Is not con-
taminated by flies. Be sure the icebox
is immaculate. Remember that germs
cannot resist boiling. and IL there is
any sick child or person In the house
hold the safest way is to use enameled
ware In the sick room and boil il thor
oughly before il Is used again or by
another member of the family. Fly
screens are useful in keeping out flies,
but do not save one from the neces-
sity of killing the flies that are already
inside the house. All fruit and vege
tables should be very carefully washed.
and, better still, peeled IL they have
had much handling. Take reasonable
precautions of this kind and then
don't worry. Many a child has been
worried INTO an Illness by an overanx
ious mother.

MOORE MAY RUN
FOR REPRESENTATIVE

Judge +. S. Moore is giving
heed to the buzz of the political
Dee and Will, no doubt, become
an active candidate for the Of
lice of Representative of Hick-
man and Fulton counties before
many days. Up to this time, the
race for that office has been
between two gentlemen in Hick-
man county-Messrs. w. l.. Hill
man and Ote Piper. Both gem
tlemen are "bone dry" advo-
GATES and Judge Moore Is on
the same platform. 1t Is true
that Fulton county furnished the
last Representative, Hon. w. j.
hcMunry, but Mr.. Moore con
tends that this county is due still
another term to even up things
On account of the continuous ser
wee rendered his country by
Joe jackson, a Hickman county
man. Judge Moore will be re-
membered as having served one
term In the lower HOUSE sever
al years ago, and viii likely be
come a formidable factor in the
race if he enters it.

Probably never in the history
of the world have great events
transpired with the rapidity of
today. There is a cOnglomeration,
confusion, unexpected, kaleidos-
copic effect in national and in
ternational affairs that even the
great daily papers, with their
many editions, cannot keep up
with; while weeklies may make ON
~ feeble attempt at review. The
whole face of the earth seems In
a turmol-a seething, changing
mass, surcharged with uncertain
ty. The fates are playing queer
FRANKS and the destiny of all
nations are as a throw of the
dice. Only a few small nations
now figure among the neutrals as
regards the great European
struggle; and it may yet be
spread to the four corners of the
earth, as the belligerents are max.
ing 1t their business to draw in
TO the holocaust the nations which
nave earnestly endeavored to
remain at peace. What the fu-
ture holds, no man dare predict.
But it is certain that never in the
history of our country have we
faced graver problems. The in
dustrial and economic balance has
been lost; millionaires and paup-
ers are the grist of the daily
grind. The one operation is be-
getting the paradoxal results of
both prosperity and hard times
the rich are made richer; the
poor, poorer. And behind il all
turks a threatening war cloud of
vast and unknown proportions.
As European empires tumble in a
day, rulers are dethroned, inter
national laws abolished, and the
horrible sacrifice of blood and
treasure goes on, even so is the
affairs of this coutry fraught
with grave uncertainties, and the
history in its making comes too
fast for truthful portrayal and
dissemination by the press. In a
way, your newspaper can only
touch the thigh places.
Get your Easter togs-and q
void the rush.
