cribed It wholly to food and feed, say,
the August Chronicle.
Now the situation has changed and
an eminent authority in The New
York Commercial says that we will
soon be paying $50 for the kind Of
clothes that We have been buying for
$25. In relating the cause of this the
authorities say that England has con.
tracted for every pound of wool that
Australia can produce in the next two
or three years. and New Zealand, too
has been called upon for the full pro-
duction Of that great sheep raising
country. All Of this supply is nedes-
sary for the masses Of people in Eng
land and for the billion OF soldiers tn,
are fighting under tho British flag.
This international situation as re-.
CARDS the vol supply is reflected in
our own country with reference to
hides and beef. We are the great
feeding nation and incidentally while
we are feeding the millions of people,
we are also providing some hides for
making shoes and other leather pro-
ducts. But unfortunately a cow has
but one hide and therefore we can
count on a commensurate increase in
the price of shoes along with wool
and food.
Until the last week or ten days the
price of cotton itself has been up in
the pictures-not to say it's so low
and, OF course, the manufacturers
have been forced to base their prices
on future deliveries by the conditions
which have been prevailing during the
past few months. AS mater of fact,
the outlook t,r continued Il o'l nfloes
in cotton is not at all discouraging for
IL is believed that the decline of the
past few days is only temporary af-
lair and may not continue for any
length Of time.
Ordinarily We might be constrained
TO believe that the situation in cotton
is pretty much just the same as it has
been during the past score of years,
that is to say, nobody but the creator
can have any idea as to what we may |
expect in prices, but the general
economic conditions are such of nat |
ure now as to insure maximum prices,
but for what we may raise for the next
few years, barring, of course, a record
breaking crop, which is virtually an

high prices and the economic au-
thorities think that with this there
will be abundant prosperity. While
we are writing about it We may as
well reiterate, that the prosperity OF
the nation depends largely upon the
production of large crops. We can
produce larger crops of grain and
other food. including cattle and hogs,
and 1t is our duty to do our utmost in
this respect, for it means genuine
when we grow anything
out of the soil, whether it be TO make
two blades of grass or two ears OF
corn grow where only one grew ne-
fore, or something else of a similar
nature. 1t we cannot grow immense
crops OF cotton We can turn our at
tention to other things equally as
needful and in this way do our part
to insure progress and prosperity of
the country on the whole.

Remarkable case Of HeredIty.

A remarkable case of Inheritance of
the abnormal fingers possessed by the
first earl of Shrewsbury, related by
DIR. III. Drinkwater to the Royal So
ciety Of Medicine, is reported In the
London Lancet. In direct male de-
scendant of the earl the ring finger
and little fingers of both hands had
only one joint, the first two bones be-
ing united, and all the toes, except
one. were similarly affected. This.
mans father and paternal grandfather
showed the same abnormality. and
when the body of the first Lord
Shrewsbury was exhumed in 1874 it
was found that his fingers We're in Il.

popularity has come down nearly 500

Keep Your Fish DRY.

Strange as 1t may seem there is
nothing in the world that will spoil al
dead fish so quickly as water. If your
fishing conditions are such as to pre-
vent your keeping your catch alive
by all means kill each one as quickly.
as caught, and having done so dry it,
and keep 1t dry. Remember that al
fish strung through the gills and
thrown oversize Is doomed to al
speedy death by suffocation. If you
must string them use one of the
patent stringers that holds through
the jaw and gives the fish fighting
chance for life. If, however, YOU can
neither treat your catch in this way
nor turn them loose in tank, kill
them instantly, wipe them quite dry
and keep them sheltered from the sun.
Fish should not be packed SO that
they come in direct contact with ice;
place a sheet of nonabsorbent paper
between. Avoid damp moss or sea-
weed in your creel.

True Friendship

We are all inclined to lean too much
on friendship; to depend not on our
own souls for strength, but on the
strength that comes from other souls.
So the building in process Of erection
has many props to support it; but as
it nears completion prep after prop is
knocked away, and it is secure only
as it rises firmly in its own founda-
ton. No friend can bear our burden
for us; the most he can do is to help
us to bear it wen, prompting us to en-
deavor by his sympathy and wisdom.
If We have so used friendship that we
have lost the power to stand alone, we
have misused 1t.

Ihat the entente was prepared to

OF the French senator, Jonnart who
bore plenary powers to act for the en-
fente, came the occupation by the
Italians in northwestern Greece, near
the Albanian frontier, of the strategic

The reign of Constantine | as king

from March Is, 1919, when his father,
George ], was assassinated in Salon

Brief as the reign was, Constantine
had enjoyed prior to the beginning of |
the great war in 1914, a period of re- |
markable popularity and had in |
creased the territory of the Greek |
monarchy by over 20 per cent. His |
attitude of opposition toward the en- |
tente powers when their troops occu-
pied part of Greek territory in the |
Macedonian campaign against the |
Teutonic allies, however, brought him |
into conflict with the statesmen of |
Greece and resulted in the establish !
ment Of provisional government
headed by Eliphtherios venizelos, |
whom the king had driven from the
post of premier. /
Throughout long series of negotia- i
lions and conflict with the entente
Constantine was often
accused of being pro-German in sym
pathies, largely. It was charged. as d
result of the influence of Queen
Sophia, sister of the German emperor,

tine declared throughout that he de-
sired only to maintain neutrality and
that he was actuated not by pro-Ger-
man sympathies but by considerations
