American Successes
on the Western Front
Impress the Chinese

Picking, Oct. 3.-China has been
impressed by the success of General
Foch's counter offensive, and by the
American successes on the western
front. Hitherto the Chinese have
been very much overawed by Ger
many, which most of them consid-
cred invincible.
Now change has taken place
which is reflected in the Picking
press. The. Minhsinpao urges the
central powers to make peace with
the allies and says the defeats of
the Austrian and German armies in
Italy and France show clearly that
a complete military victory over
the entente is impossible, especially
now that the young American army
has proved itself capable of attack
ing the experienced German troops
with victory.
Previous to this Franco-American
victory in France, the majority of
tie, Chinese people. especially
Chinese military officers, most OF
w,om had been trained in Germany
andA Japan or educated in China un-
der German and Japanese military
instructors, expressed great doubt
about the ability Of the "pre-exper-
fenced Americans" to combat sue
cessfully the Germans on the west
ern front.
Now the Franco-American VIC
tory has shown the intelligent class
of Chinese what the American army
can do. This raises the prestige of
the Americans in the far east as a
military people.

BEST FRIEND OF
AIRMAN IS HIS
TRUS1Y COMPASS
Height Indicator One Of NeCes'
sary instruments to Have
When Riding Through
the Air.

! An American Aerodrome in En-
gland, SEPT. 2S.-(Correspondence OF
the Associated Press.)--One of the
safest places in the airplane cock
pit is given to the compass, for
without its aid the airman who is
flying over land or sea is hopelessly
lost. Great attention is paid by
American pilots training in En-
gland to the problem presented by
drift" If an airplane starts to fly
from one point to another due east
and there is wind blowing lsmiles
an hour northeast, he must take that
element into consideration by alter
ing his compass course. before as
cendins, according to the total dis
lance Of the journey.
Many difficulties had to be over
come in the production Of a salts
factory compass for aerial work.
Chief among these was the problem
Of neutralizing the magnetism of the
engine and particularly the mag
metz, and of preventing the effect Of
centrifugal force which tends to
cause the dial Of the compass to
swing in a direction quite independ
ent of north when the airplane is
banking on a turn. These Difficult
ties, however, have all been sur
mounted and the compass in use on
present-day airplanes is a fairly
satisfactory instrument. 1t is said
to be far superior to anything which
the Germans have yet been able to
evolve.
The airman's next most impor-
tant instrument is his aneroid, or
height indicator. This is fitted
with an adjustable dial which can
be moved round so that on leaving
any given aerodrome the reading is
zero, whatever the height Of that
aerodrome above sea level may be.
An American pilot left his aero
drome for a cross country flight re-
Gently on 4 very misty day, care

After flying for two hours by COM

his destination. He could see

ing document dealing with the eosI
of cotton production that has vel
been issued" In ascertaining thu
cost Of raising cotton II takes Into
account the rent OF land, cost o.
fertilizer and seed, breaking and
preparing the land, planting, cultS
walton, picking, ginning. marketing
labor, mules and horses, machinery
bagging and other supplies and
even cost OF bacon and corn meal
two articles of food which many
cotton planters furnish their negrt
labor. All of these items are figured
on the basis of their cost in the seal
son of 1918.
l4s Per Cent Net Profit In Cotton
But even on this basis the report
shows the cotton planter made I
net profit of over l45 per cent OF
his crop of 1918. 1t shows thai
the average cost of producing !
point of 1918 cotton as ll.A
cents. The average price obtained
by the planter for his 1918 croF
was us cents. His net profit was
1912 cents per pound. or . little
over las per cent. If Governoi
Hobby's demand for a minimum
price Of IS cents were granted il
would guarantee the cotton plantef
over 200 per cent net profit.
The price which the southern
cotton interests want fixed Is thu
price which is prevailing now--s
price which, for the exception OF 1
brief period in 1866, Is the highest
price ever paid for cotton. The cot,
ton market today 10 = runaway
market" which corresponds to the
wheat market OF the summer Of
1917. when wheat went above $500
a bushel.
As a result the government
stepped in, closed the market. and
fixed a maximum price for wheat
much lower than the open market
price.
The cotton powers and the cotton
congressman who control the demo-
cratic party and dominate all conI
gressional committees, are demand.
ing not that the cotton market be
closed, but that it be left alone
They are demanding, however, IL the
market is closed, that the price
guaranteed by the government shall
be the same as the runaway market
price. Unless they can obtain this
promise they announce their pur-
pose Of fighting the whole program
Of price fixing for cotton.

nounces the appointment Of cotton

A storm of protest has gone up in
the south over the action of the ad-
ninistraton.. The members of a
South Carolina organization met and
sdemnly declared they would plant
no more cotton next year than
enough to furnish seed for later
crop. If a southern senator or con-
gresham is not vocal with profan.

church or there are ladies pres

That mutton and wool production in
this country can be increased greatly
admits of no doubt. This can be ac-
cOmplished by developing sheep hus-
bandry on farms, especially in the
Eastern and Southern states. Steps
should be taken in the East and South
to do away with the sheep-killing dog
menace by state or local action. Large
results can be secured by improving
methods of breeding and management
on the range; by securing the restOck'
ing Of improved farm lands with
sheep; by the larger use Of forage
crops and pastures; by encouraging
sheep and lamb clubs; by the elimina.
ton of parasites; by protection
against losses from predatory ami
mails; and by having lambs ready for
market at from 20 to so pounds
weight, thereby requiring a minimum
of grain to finish them and making
possible the maintenance of larger
breeding flocks.

There is no more delicious meat than
frog legs. Yet with the exception Of
few hotels widely scattered along
the lakes and a few of the streams,
frog legs are rarely served. Around
practically every pond Of any cOnsid-
cradle size there are enough frogs if
properly utilized to furnish an Occa-
sional meal and to furnish very fine
sport in shooting or otherwise taking.
More attention to fish and frogs
would result in the saving of much
food and would be of personal benefit
