consider the cost of the products at
the time they were consumed, and it
seems improbable that there will be
any decline in these staples while
the coming crop is being grown.
It is well to remember that, should
the regulation of prices become effec-
tive, it is not likely to reduce the
Price Of labor and farm animals, botn

trary, indications point to each being
higher. 1t will probably take double
the prices that have been current TO
check the exodus of labor, and the
price of horses and mules will un-
doubtedly be greatly stimulated by
the preparations for war. So price
control and decline in food products,
should they come, would probably not
cause such a reduction in the cost OF
production this season as superficial
evidence might seem to Indicate.
When these reasonable expectations
are taken into consideration, it looks
as though the cost of growing the

MUST PAY
INSTALLMEN1 INDEMNITY
BY W. 7. EcrreSt

United Press Staff Correspondent
Paris. April Is (By maiD-By the
end of July, 1917, Germany will have
incurred liability to the Allies for al
after -the-war indemnity of one hum
cred and sixty thousand million dol
lals.
This figure comes today from the
zen OF Jean Finot, well known French
editor, author and statistician, writ
ing in the current nullber of La Re
vue, of which he is editor.
"A Pace of a Hudred Years is the
title OF the article This is only pos
zible the author argues by forcing
Germany to purge herself of future
nl;litarism. The remedy-the only
remedy-the points out. is an ''install-
rlent indemnity to rhe Allies from
Germany of about two billion four hun
cred million dollars a year.
On the theory that German mill
tarism was responsible for the world
catastrophe and that the German peo-
pc were responsible for militarisnl,
the author says that the German peo-
PIE should accept the lesson of fu-
ture peace by paying every cent OF
the damage. Germany's national
wealth before the war was placed
at eight hundred millions Of dollars
Tire "installment indemnity" is there
fore the way for the Allies to exact
their toll. The author adds:
"The German people are solidarizec
with the emperor and his soldiers
Faving committed unutterable crime
1t the emperor's instigation, the pao-
rle should participate in the repara-
ton for these crimes
While it appears that such Sc
res of indemnities would work ruiz
TO Germany, the contrary is the case,
the author says.
Germany would be forced to aban-
con her annual gigantic militar!
budget of several hundred millions o
dollars for her fleet and armies
This element alone would radically

Save Those Scraps.

An ounce of edible meat-lean meat,
fat and lean, suet or fat trimmed from
steak, chop, or roast-seems hardly
worth saving.
Many households take just this
view of the matter-do not trouble
to put such an insignificant scrap into
tte ice box or soup pot-do not bother
to save for cookery a spoonful or two
Of drippings or a tiny bit of suet or
fat.
Yet if every one of our 20,000,000
american families on the average
wastes each day only one ounce OF
edible meat or fat, it means a daily
waste of I.250,00O pounds Of animal
fcod-456,000, 900 pounds of valuable
animal food year.
At average dressed weights, il
would take the gross weight Of over
$4,000 steers, or over 100000 hogs
bones and ALTO provide thi:
weight of meat or fat for each gar
bage pail or kitchen sink. If the
bones and butchers waste are elimi-
rated, these figures would be in
creased to 1,150,00O cattle and 800,
600 hogs.
Or, again, if the waste were dis
tributed according to the per capita
consumption Of the various meats Tex.

/ Touching on Allied war losses which
Will figure in future indemnity, the
statistician says that at the end OF
1914 alone the Allies counted their
oebits at about thiry-five housand
millions. He compares this to the cost
of the American Civil war, which
was about $1,000, 100000. He declares
that France, England and Italy alone

lations. He mentions 20000,0OO Al

upkeep of "a a day; the prodiglous
expenditure for munitions with sin
eie shells costing $4,000. added to the
expense of the Allied fleets and mer-
camille shipping losses from German
submarines.
The writer even computes IN his
sum total of possible German in
demnitv the amount of losses to Al
lied families of breadwinners and the
cost in the future for orphans and
widows. He adds:
"Modern wars place hors du COM

It can be estimated that between SIX

useless for life by the war.

s.tion as being the safer basis for our
calculations.
Food crops have undoubtedly been
greatly increased in the South. Whila
the wisdom of this is obvious, it is
also just as obvious that it would be
unfortunate to neglect cotton too
much. Since almost any size crop can
te carried now until it can be sold
at a profit, growing sufficient cot

irg on full time and on profit-earn-
ing basis, is the soundest policy-a
policy, in fact, that the South cannot
well neglect.
Indeed, indications point now to a
supply the coming season hardly equa
to a demand restricted by war. Should
reace come within twelve months,
which is not improbable, the process
of adjusting a price to such dra-
matte shortage as would then exist
would create tremendously chaotic
! condition in cotton affairs. This woulo
ultimately be as harmful to the South
as it would be to any other part OF
the country. Current history certain
ly supports the view that the Soutl
can no more afford to neglect cotton
in war than it can in peace.

By w. W. Morrison

Should there be decline in the
price of staple food products, there
would be decline in the cost Of pro-
ducing cotton also. 1t is reasonable
that such decline would be reflect
&c in lower price for cotton. The
very fact that this looks reasonable
is. apt to make it misleading. For,
in recent years, the cost of production
has not been such an important fac
tor in making the price of cotton as
has been the profits in manufacturing
tke cotton into cloth. 1t is fairly safe
to assume, therefore, that unless a
decline in the price of staple foods
was followed by like decline IN The
profits on the finished product, there
~cq,a be no decline in the price CT
the raw material.
Should the government determine on
controlling prices, which seems PROB
able. and a decline in food products
should result, then a decline in both
cotton cloth and cotton can be expect
ed. For the spinner and the planter
would each have to comply with the
declared policy of the government OF
allowing only a reasonable profit ID
any business. A decline, however,
tased on government regulation OF
prices would hardly affect the cotton
now in existence and probably not the
cotton to be grown this year. for it
