high seas are thus free" to ali nations

Corporations accused by the Federal Trade
Commission OF prohteering have fatty denied
the charge. They may he telling the truth
but while the prices OF products they control
remain high that the ultimate consumer
can reach them only by means OF Jacobs

there is going TO be mighty strong suspicion
that the commission knew about what it was
talking. Pling up OF the excess profit taxes
on these corporations is something else for
the people not to worry about.

The Department OF Agriculture on the
basis of reports as to acreage and condition
OF the plant, forecasts a cotton crop OF
15,325,000 bales this year. This means an
increase over last years production in excess
of 100000 bales, and the condition of the
crop in the six largest producing States
would seem fully TO justify the estimate.
Likewise, the action of the market in sls-
tanning decline OF approximately IS bale

this view. A gratifying feature of the rcpor:
is that while the cotton acreage is increased

EMPEY TELLS CROWD HE GOT

Sergeant Arthur Guy Empey, sol
der, author and lecturer, has the re-
spect for valor that comes of first
hand knowledge, and for this reason
he dealt rebuke to crowd of young
men recently when they saw fit to
"josh" about Scotch soldier. The
incident occurred in the Grand Cen
tral Terminal, New York, where En-
pey was waiting to take train.
A killed Highlander came through
the waiting room and group of boys
gathered there to poke fun at his
bare knees, asking if he wasn't afraid
of catching cold, etc.
The Highlander went on his way
and made no reply, but Empey did.
"You kids ought to be ashamed of
yourselves" he said, "to try and kid
real man. You see that little piece
of tin on his tunic? If you had gone
through what that man did to get
that, you'd be able to say you was a

The youths were Modified by this,
and Empey continued:
"That's the Victoria Cross that
'Scottie' rs wearing and he went right
to the gates of He'll to get it."
One of the youngsters then noticed
a deep scar on Empey's left cheek,
the result of she'll fragment tearing
open his face after he had been
wounded in shell crater in No Mans
Land.
"How did you get that?" asked the
youth.
"Aw, l got it sliding to second" +"
said Empey as he went through the
gates to his train.
Empey himself will be seen at The
Strand Theatre here for two days be-
ginning Monday, when he appears as
the star of the Vitagraph production
