We specnlated on Gin2hams, We won. Now you save. The merchant who wins must be the merchant who is on the right side of the market.
 Today cotton is as big speculative commodity as wheat. copper or steel. We fig ured the cotton market six months ago. We bought fu- ture deliveries by the ton-all sorts of cotton materials espe- cially "Gingham.' We stood to make money or lose it. We make it--AND TODAY CAIN SELL OUR GINGHA'MS AT LESS THAN WHOLESALE IE COST and still make our regu- lar percentage of profit. If other dealers are similarly sit uated why do their Bingham prices show the market ad- vances?

Fish Equs.

The cod is estimated to yield 45,O0O.. GOO eggs each season. As many as 5000, ,OOO.' 9,OO0.OOO and even 9,5OO,OO eggs have been found in the roe of a single cod. An eel was caught in Scot land some years ago which contained upward of 1O,OOO.O00 eggs. This. how ever, would appear to have been an ex ceptlonal find, and it is generally ad mitted that the cod Is more prolific than any other fish. Though not equaling the cod, many kinds of fish are exceedingly prolific. More than 36,OOO eggs have been, counted in a herring. 38,O0O in a smelt, 100000 in sole, 1,12O,OOO in a roach, 3,o0O,OOO in a sturgeon, 342,O0O in q carp, 383,OOO in tench, 54e,OOO in a mackerel, 992,Oo0 in a perch, and 1,357,OOO in a founder. The oyster is also very prolific. It has been as. certained by recent observation that in 1.-the liquor of their shells small oysters can, be seen by aid. of the mi. croscope-120 in the space of an inch, covered with shells, and swimming ac- lively about. y+ A herring weighing six or seven ounces is provided with about, 3OO00 eggs. It has. been estl. mated that in three years single pair of herrihgs would produce 154,O00.O0O. Buffon calculated that if a pair of herrings could be left to breed and multiply undisturbed for a period of 20 years they would yield m amount of fish equal in bulk to the globe.-- London Tit Bits. <,

BRAZIL LOOKING TO FUTURE
Important industries of the Country Are to Be Encouraged by the
 Government.

The secretary of agriculture of Era. z'l recently presented lengthy me- morlal to the president of the republic eSpla1nins the necessity of encourag- Ing the coal and steel industries, which mas resulted in the publication of two fecrees of the federal government.
 The secretary's report states that untll there are at least ten coal mines Tn active operation in the country the erect Of this industry will not be felt ln the conservation of the wood SUD- ply, which is now being rapidly con- su1ned to meet the needs of the rail- ways and of domestic industries The steel Industry is so largely dependent upon suitable fuel that, in the secre- tarys opinion, 1t should also receive the attention of the Brazilian govern ment. The director of the geological survey of the Brazilian government states that by q process of washing metallursical coke may be obtained from Brazilian coal, and that this is already being accomplished in the state of Santa Cathnrina.
 The secretary points out that the present lack of sufficient domestic coal of suitable quality should not interfere with the establishment of steel in- dustry, which could temporarily use wood, and that for more than 300 years Sweden: was obliged to depend upon this kind of fuel. He also says thar in the United States some 100000 tons of pig iron are produced annually by the use of charcoal as fuel.-Commerce Reports.

To ee Pitched Only In the Morning,

lO oo Os1CUSO VNJ sU SSS UO'S'iS'
 Many years ago, when Connie Mack was the Milwaukee catcher and man. ager, the club opened the season with several sore-arm veteran pitchers. There was one youngster with the club who did not complain of this troubles 50 theysselt him. to the slab. Milwau. kee was beaten something like 16 to 4. The kid pitcher was 'dowRcast. "The umpire didn't give me any the best of it. he said by way of an alibi.
 "No," replied Joe Cantillon, who had overheard the remark; neither did the opposing batters give you any the best of it."
 The kid walked off in a huff. Con- nie Mack turned to ,Cantillon. "I'll say this for the boy" he said, i've worked out with him every morning for the last two weeks, and he looked mighty good"
 Cantillon pulled a schedule out of his pocket and glanced over 1t rapid- ly. "rhe next morning game is on Decoration day, Connie" he remark ed. "Save the kid pitcher for then"

CARRY FOOD TO TRENCHES
French Employ Canine couriers to Take Supplies to the Men in
 Most Exposed Positions.

Trench warfare certainly interferes with the fighters meals. After cap- turing the enemy's position in partic- ular, is the fighter at loss to know how he will get his regular rations i; for no sooner does the enemy find himself dispossessed of his original trenches than he opens up with an in- tense barrage fire designed to prevent ammunition and food from reaching the new occupants.
 The French army believes 1t has solved the problem of carrying food to men in isolated trenches, in it's lunch dogs, says the Scientific American. Carrying light lunches and coffee, and even cartridges for the men in the first line trenches when the combat is hot and protracted these splendid trained dogs. are more certain to get through barrages than men. Each dog is equipped with sort of double bag, strapped tight over its body, and pro- vided with numerous pockets for food, coffee cans, ammunition and other SUD- plies.
 It is at the military dog-training grounds at Paris that dogs are pre- pared for this service. Not only are these four-legged courlers taught to avoid the enemy and beware of tricks, but also to crawl on their stomachs in order to escape flying bullets. Special masks are provided for these dogs when they must pass through pois- on gas area.

 The secretary produced ball from a box, under the counter, the soldier seized 1t, left his hat in pawn and rushed away bareheaded toward the playing field.

LOBSTER NOW LUXURY
Food Has Passed Beyond the Reach of the Poorer People.
shoulo Catch Small Lobster and Leave Larger Ones to Breed, Is Opinion Expressed by Expert.

The lobster has passed beyond the reach of the poor aud has become luxury only to be enjoyed by the rich. Every year the price of Holsters ad. vances few points. and even at the highest price offered it is difficult to obtain them. From Massachusetts comes the information that were it not for the catches in Maine and Nova Scotia, lohsters could not be had in Massachusetts, for the waters of that state have been fished out. In 1888. so the Boston Transcript says. 1,740S50 Holsters of legal size were caught in Massachusetts. In 1914, only 1e13S were taken there. The opinion seens to be gaining ground in Massachusetts that a mistake has been made in deal. ing With the lobster industry. The small lobster has been protected while the large lobster, which is the one which produces an enormous quantity of young. has been taken. This. it is held by some, is wrong. We should catch the small lobster, so it is argued and leave the bigger ones to breed.
 There seems to be some virtue in this contention, because in spite of the lobster matching plants maintained by the federal government fewer Holsters are being taken. each year. while the demand for them is continually in- creasing. This, of course. accounts for the high prices. It is also claimed that in planting lobster fry the federal agents have made serious blunders The fry have been liberated in places where they have been subjected to the attacks of other fish, and few of. the lObsters matched in the government plants have ever attained a size where they could look after them. selves. The experienced fisherman of the Maine coast have frequently called attention to the mistakes which were being made in lobster propagation and preservation, but. as frequently hap pens in the making of laws, the opin- ions of men who know something about Holsters. and their habits have been ignored. and the theorists have been the only ones consulted.
 II tne IeuefaI government SnOulQ put a closed time. on Holsters for several years and arrange with the Canadian government to do the; same thing, 1t is reasonable to suppose that t';e lob sters would increase and this industry would regain something of the magnl. tude it has lost. But we have no idea that such q plan will be adopted. It would be strenuously opposed by the dealers, who now make large profits in the business, and probably by the fishermen also, who have considerable capital tied. up in their fishing gear. What has happened in Massachusetts, where few Holsters are now being taken, must eventually take place in Maine, and unless some radical step is adopted the time is not far away when even as luxury, the lobster will be- come so scarce as to be beyond the reach of everyone save the epicurean of the plutocratic class.-Port1and Press.
