Production Cost of Cotton
Very Nearly Doubled Lately

dependable basis for such calculations
as the. present instance requires.
Mules at the time named brought
%?25 to $3.50. They bring now from
$500 to 1915. The advance in farm
Implements has been from so to 100
per cent. The cost of picking cotton
is about double, and fertilizers more
than double. Land values vary, but t
is probably safe to say that the ad-
vance has been. about so per cent.
While labor is higher, it has not ad-
vanced in proportion to other things,
and certainly not in proportion to the
advance in sections outside of the cot
ton fields. This has been the cause
Of the heavy exodus. 1t is perfectly
evident that the price OF labor must
be radically advanced before this ex-
odus can be checked.
a careful analysis Of these figures
indicates that the cost of the com
Imodities which enter into the produc-
tion of cotton are today near double
what they were when prices ranged
around 10 to y cents and were con-
sldered fair. Reasoning, therefore
from the normal relations of things.
20 to 25 cents would not be now an
abnormal price Cor cotton. The great
CT ability of the producer to enforce
this normal relation, as compared with
the period referred to, can also very
properly be considered as a factor in
the issue. This has already been
shown to a considerable extent in the
attitude of spot cotton.
The most important influence that
this increase in cost win exercise.
however, will no doubt be the i'm
preston it will make upon the minds
CT the farmers. 1t is reasonable to
assume that it will very greatly slim
ulate the output Of food crops and
will also have a very definite ten
dency to keep cotton in the position
OF surplus product. So long as cot
ton is surplus, the record indicates
that it will be sold at a profit regard
less of the size of the crop or of any
condition Of war or of peace. &,
1t is not our purpose to make any
predictions about cotton going to 20,
25 cents or any other price, but rath-
er to en1nhasize the imnortanca Of
recognizing this normal relations of
things to which we have referred We
do predict, however, that the logical
effect of these relations will be re-
fsected in a steady trend of cotton
toward as high a price as the manu-
facturer can pay, and that This trend
will be more marked next season than
1T has been this.

BIG EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts at First Sign of Bladder
Irrigation or Back
ache.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE, because we eat too muGh an all
our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid, which the kidneys
strive to filter out, they weaken from
overworl, become sluggish; the elm
nation tissues clog and the result is
kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel liks Jumps
of lead; you back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full :. of sediment or you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have
rheumatism when the weather is bad,
get from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This ia
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys; to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer is
a source of irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes a delightful 'effervescent
fiohia-water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having good kidney
lushing any time.

Spare Ribs.

Spare ribs is a very considerable
meat. 1t grows its own handles.
1t comes to the table grouped around
convenient bones. And it. sits up on
the plate and behaves itself while it S
being eaten.
Would to heaven we could say as
much for chicken wings.
We have always suspected that the
chicken heard about the arrangement
the hog had made with his ribs, start
ed out to grow its bones accordingly
and made botch of it.
But the chicken did better with its
bones than some food, at that. Look
at fish. And even the hog fell down
IN some points. AS instance pig

Don't put all your eggs in one
basket, seems a superfluous adage
IN these eggs-orbitant and eggasper-

putting our egg any place but in the

superfluity, for who would ever dream

ofttimes a garland of carved and en-

satin bows fussing up it's handles. In
triangular shape, so they can fit cas-

preferable in convenience and sani-

Under normal conditions the cost Of
production is always vital in its re-
lation to the price of the product.
Hence, as it relates to the commodi-
ties which enter into the cost of pro-
ducing cotton, comparison betwee en-
the prices which prevail today and
the prices which prevailed some years
ago is of obvious Importance. Such
d comparison will have a tendency to
promote a better balanced view of
existing conditions and to prevent our
falling into some serious errors to-
ward which the very unusualness of
current prices is apt to lead us. So
the present seems an opportune time
to review ssme of the more import
ant items which have @ hearing on the
matter it is proposed to discuss.

To the friends who came to us in
our hour of trouble, and contributed
all that human kindness could sug-
gest, to help and comfort, we return
most heartfelt thanks, and although
such devoted friendship cannot re-
move the sad memories that linger
around our vacant chair, it brings into
view the brightest side Of humanity,
and throws the pure light Of an un-
selfish friendship into darkened
home. May the day be far distant
when those friends who gathered
around US will need similar attention,
but when the time comes may they
receive the same full measure of gen.
erous aid and tender sympathy they
brought to our home when death was
an inmate there.

KEEPING HEARST PAPERS
 OUT OF THE YUKON

The authorities of Dawson and other parts of the Yukon territory are taking particular care to see that the Hearst publications are excluded from circulation in this territory. 1t is not likely, however, that anyone knowingly will circulate or have in their possession any of the publica- tions. The penalty provided for hav- ing one of the Hearst papers in ones possession is $5,OOO fine or five years in jail or both.
 Postmaster McCarter says that any of those papers coming through are seized in the postoflice, if noticed. Persons who had subscribed for the papers prior to the ban being placed on them will escape trouble, says the postmaster, if they refuse to take the papers from the postofiice. Should one of the outlawed papers be sent to anyone here by someone outside, any one detecting the identity of the pa per should not take it from the post office. but turn it in to the post master, to be destroyed at once.-- Dawson News.
