lished in Rhode Island the first cot
ton mill. and whitney invented while
living near Augusta. Ca, the cotton
gin, somewhat idealized- On the other
hand hay has been regarded in most
prosaic manner. There have been no
poems written in praise Of hay. and
yet for years the rivalry between hay
and cotton. so far as the money value
Of the harvest Of each IL concerned.
has considerable interest among farm
ers.
Sometimes tffe money value Of cot
ton has been slightly In excess of the
money value of hay harvested each
year. And then again hay has taken
the lead. OF course. in this COMPARE
son, the by-products Of the cotton
plant are excluded from the estimate.
This yehr cotton surpassed hay, partly
on account Of the high price, by a lit
tie over S250, 0,00o. 200, but each was a
81. 900. 10000 crop.
Undoubtedly corn will remain, for
many years at least, the leading
American agricultural product with
respect to the money value and the
quantity harvested. 1t will also be in
normal times one Of the most i'm
portant Of the commodities transported
by the railroads, and has therefore an
important relation to railroad reve-
nues. There are to be hereafter in
creases in the by-products of the corn
kernels and of cornstalks, although
these are not likely ever to reach the
value Of the by-products of cotton. In
each case however. it Is probable that
every constituent part Of the plant,
whether cotton or corn. will ultimately
be utilized to excellent commercial
purpose.
Farmers and War.
Official Washington announces
that the farmers of the United
States harvested crops which were
in 1917 of the money value of a lit
tie over SIS, 500, ,000, 900 while animals and
animal products chiefly secured
through the energy Of farmers of
stock raisers were of the value Of q
little under 5000. .00o, ,000
Therefore, the entire farm pro-
ducts OF the United States in 1917
were of a money value which equal
led IL they did not exceed the en-
tire normal expenses and those en-
tailed by the emergencies of the
war-which represented the gov
ernmental expenditures of the
American people in 1917. There is
no nation in the world, not in time
of war or in time of peace, which
can match this stupeDdous produc-
tion.
If the climate is favorable, II
financial. transportation and indus
trial conditions, including labor. are
in 1918 satisfactory, the money
value of the farm products of the
present calendar year will undoubt-
edly be in excess Of the money val
ue ,of like products in 1917.

Al Trades in l95 Years

New York, Jan. 2s.-George Wash
ington Spears, member of the Su-
per-Quakers-having also the dis
tinction of being the only MEM
ber-today appealed to the district
draft appeals board for deferred
classification.
In his petition to The board and
the QUESTIONABLE remarkable
past was revealed.
Spears claimed to be % years
old and at the same time affirmed
on oath that he had worked at Il
different occupations in the last
1876 years.
He claimed to be an inventor and
said he would be needed by the
government to design battleships.
but that he should be exempted
from military service because he
was a conscientious objector. Al
though he claimed to be techni-
cally trained for war. he added
that he was morally unfit for war.
that he had fat feet and stomach
trouble.
He also claimed to be married,
but an investigation revealed that
he lived with mother, and the
spirit had never, as far as could
be learned, moved him to pay
board

CHICAGO GRAIN.
By JOSEPH +. PRIrCHARD

Chicago. Jan 8.-James A. Patten received
a private cable from Lindley, Walker and Com
pany. Of Sydney Australia, asking his opinion
as to the worlds wheat price for the next
four years and whether he advised increased
production. Mr. Patterns answer was:
Expect maintenance Of present values Of
wheat until Russian conditions come normal
and she resumes exports. Think crops of 1913 10
insufficient to supply worlds demands. Advise
increasing wheat production everywhere
There was a further advance in the price Of
cats today, new high levels for an Of the
futures being established and these prices were
we'll sustained The bulk Of the trade was Of
a local character. There was no change in the
corn market today. the closing being in the
same spots Of those Of Saturday. The c4sn
market was 5al0 csnts lower and was spread
between cash and futures.
There was little doing in the market for
hog products Hogs were 5a10 cents higher.

OWNERSHIP UNCHANGED.

That the Chicago Pneumatic Tool
Company has sold its interests in the
Little Giant Truck Is the erroneous
impression that seems to have arisen
through the recent announcement of
the organization of the Little Giant
Truck Company.
The new company is merely a sales
organization owned and controlled by
the Chicago Pneumatic Tool Company.
with the same personnel of officers
and executives with headquarters in
the Fisher Building and salesrooms at

Boost the E,rCau,nsl,eFsf

Those who are acquainted with the
beauties of Patriarchal Odd Fellow
ship--and thousands of the brothers
are--know the beauties If its ritualistic
ceremonies. They know. also, that to
be an Odd Fellow in deed and in truth,
the brothers must tread the dreary and
rugged path to Horeb. and from its
summit obtain a view of the beautiful
hills and wales OF the promised land.
Then why not set about the work
OF inviting the brothers OF the sub
ordinate lodge TO join in the march OF
the shepherds to the tents of the faith
full 1t will be for their good TO have
them partake of the Inequalities of
the Patriarchal tent and enjoy the
refreshing libations and sustaining
food there bestowed. Let the work
of recruiting the ranks of the march
ing shepherds begin at once. and make
the folds OF the tent to bulge outward
with the crowds seeking to learn the
beauties of Patriarchal Odd Fellow
ship. Surely Odd Fellowship has done
much for the world. and its members
should not be content to let the world
say, one branch is dying. the other
viii soon be dead. Membership In the
encampment will not make you lesser.
but greater Odd Fellow.
