Enough Yam to Reach
81 Times around Earth
Is Produced At Boston

Boston, Mass. Dec 21.-Enough
yarn to reach 81 times around the
world at the equator has been manu-
featured in the ropewalk at the Bos-
ton navy yard since January 1. 1915.
II this yarn were manufactured into
ten inch rope, the largest at present
made at the ropewalk. it would reach
from Boston to Kansas City by way
OF Chicago and St Louis. II the bob
bins were piled end on end, they
would make a column 56s miles high.
There have been 1.564,653 pounds of
American hemp yarn spun at the rope
walk One of the principal products
into which American hemp yarn is
manufactured is tarred marlin. which
is used extensively in the navy. II
this entire output were made at one
time into marlin, there would be
enough to reach from the earth to the
moon and back to earth again, with
an end long enough to reach once
around the earth at the equator.
Each day from IS to 50 miles Of
rope have been produced and shipped
The ropewalk has been particularly
important to the government during
the war. owing to the fact that il is
the only yard in which various kinds
Of rope used in the navy have been
manufactured. No visitors have been
allowed and little has been known Of
this war service.

TWO MORE MEN
WOULD BE MAYOR
Claude Stewart and T. G..
Hayes In the Race AS
Candidates.

Candidates for the nomination for
mayor OF FL Paso on the Democratic
ticket were increased Monday with c.
I A. Stewart, insurance man and jisne
clerk during the administration Of
mayor Tom Lea. and T. C. Hayes. Il
brakeman on the Texas Pacific, enter
ing the race.
It is understood that the latter
wants the labor organizations to back
Kim for the nomination. Judging by
the way labor leaders are talking,
they. or a majority Of them. at least.
are opposed to anything like labor
ticket and such project has little
show for backing. These leaders ap-
pear TO think that such a ticket if
put out would have very little show
in the primary Mr.. Stewart announced
some time ago and Mr.. Hayes an
nOunced before the Equal Franchise
league recently.
Complete tickets have not yet been
announced by either Orndorff or Da-
Wis. While the Davis aldermanic tick
ct IS complete, il has not been def
nitely decided who will run for treas
urer, assessor and judge Of the cor
poration court
The Orndorff ticket has decided
upon Dave Sullivan for treasurer and
Joe Page for judge of the corporation
court, Dut mas only ueclueu upon Two
men for Aldermen. p. O'Connor and
Ed Anderson.
Nobody Against McSain.
Neither side has selected anybody
for Billy AfcSain's job as assessor and
Billy is running in the middle Of the
road.
It is reported that mayor Davis IS
not taking McSain onto his ticket be-
cause Billy lined up several months
ago for J. P. O'Connor for mayor. and
that O'Connor is not able to land Nc
Sain on the OrndOrff ticket because
Of opposition from Chas. DeGroff and
others.
George Theison. who was talked Of
for alderman on the OrndOrff ticket
and was also approached by some OF
the Davis men to know II he would
run on the Davis ticket. has decided
to keep out Of the race entirely and
will not run on either ticket

Chicago. Ill, Dec. IS.
I Editor Ell Paso Herald:
The Herald recently printed an ar
/ ticle entitled why Are Butter and
Eggs to Be Sky High? Supplies Are
Larger. The burden Of this article
is that since the stocks Of butter.
eggs and condensed milk are heavier
than year ago. there is no rea son
for the recent advance in prices. The
holding Of goods IN cold storage is
also spoken Of as though il were an
Legitimate proceeding.
since this article deals with mat
ter OF very great interest. we thought
that you might be glad TO have US
point out what we consider as some
OF the important economic facts that
have been overlooked
In the first place. the supply of
commodities is not the only thing to
be considered. The demand must al
ways be taken into consideration As
matter OF fact, the demand for but
ter and eggs is extre meiy heavy. not
only from the domestic popula ton
but from our allies. so that even II
the supply were larger than usual
the prices might be higher. especially
as the general price level OF all COM
modtties IS much higher than usual
The information we have. however.
indicates that the stocks OF butter
eggs. cheese and poultry are lower at
present than they were a year ago.
Our figures are those issued bv the
bureau Of markets OF the United
States department Of agriculture. We
believe that these are the best off,
cial figures available with regard to
storage stocks. and they hardly seem
to bear out the statement and fig
ures 10 the effect that the stocks Of
these commodities are larger than
usual.
II is true that there has been 4
heavy production OF these commodi-
ties. but the extremely heavy current
demand has kept them moving rap
