ard efficient machinery enable these
mills to produce the cheapest known
fabric of the world.
The United States produces 20
per cent Of the cotton Of the world
and manufactures only 20 per cent
Of the fabric. 1t is the opinion Of
the wisest thinkers in the United
States today that this condition will
be reversed as to manufacture, in
the great reconstruction period to
come and will manufacture 70 to so
per cent of the fabric of the world.
This condition whom brought about
will force the producers into the

the community that still persists in
the growing of this half and half
cotton will have no market for their
product"

Bearing out the statement that
an American soldier in France has
opportunities to see at this time
what only the well known and much
advertised idle rich could see in pre-
war days, Clay Wellborn, son of Mr.

describes in a letter addressed to
his sister, a trip he has just complot-
ed in which he gave the famous re-
sorts of France the once over. The
letter follows:
