THE SOUTH'S DOMINANCE
OF COTTON PRODUCTION

It would be a blessing to the whole
world if cotton growing could be sue
cessfully developed in other countries
on a much larger scale than at pres
ent, because the worlds demand for
cotton is fast outgrowing the worlds
production, and we are facing the dan
ger for the entire world of cotton
crisis which may prove most serious.
Shortly before his death, Mr.. Ed
ward Atkinson of Boston, who for
many years had given much attention
to the study of cotton growing and
cotton manufacturing in all parts of
the world and who himself had been
a cotton manufacturer, wrote the
Manufacturers Record that having
tested the fiber of cotton from all
parts of the world, having studied cli-
matte, soil and labor conditions in all
countries, he could see no possible
nope or any serious competition WIN
the South's monopoly in cotton for
at least the next so year, Mr.. At
kinson expressed his regret at this
because he felt that vigorous compe-
tition from some other country would
bring about better system in cotton
growing and cotton handling in the
South. He felt that the lack of COM
petition was a disadvantage to the
South, and yet he saw no hope of any
serious competition for half a century
from the time he wrote to the cotton
of the South. Every re-
port made to governments or cotton
manufacturers in Europe merely
serves to emphasize the correctness of
these statements by Mr.. Atkinson.

Manufacturers Record)


The Manchester Guardian is quot
ed in Financial America as having
published a report by a committee
which had been appointed to secure
better and larger supply of cotton
from England. OF this report the
Guardian says:
Lancashire was represented on
this committee by F. Hodgkinson of
Blackburn. The member concurred
in the view that the only parts of In
dia from which assistance to Lanca-
shire can be expected in the near fu-
ture, in which cotton of an inch or
slightly more in staple can be grown
in large quantities, are those parts
OF the Madras Presidency in which
Cambodia and Karungani cotton are
grown, and the Punjaub, where
American cotton is making rapid head
way. Egyptian cotton has been sue
cessfully grown in Sind in spite or
many difficulties, and Mr.. Hodgkinson
considers that American cotton of
quality even better than that grown
in the Punjaub. and up to l IA inch
es in staple, could be grown there with
ease, provided that perennial irrri-
cation were established by the con-
struction of barrage on the River In
dus at Sukkar. In no other part of
India is it possible to bring about so
great an extension of cotton cultiva-
ton as in Sind. All that is required
is water The barage scheme, which
has been talked about for the last so
years, would bring a perennial supply
of water to a tract of land nearly 5000
square miles between Rohri and Hy-
derabad, and convert what is now
desert into one of the richest tracts
of agricultural land in the world.
'"The committee has made a num-
per or practlcal RECOMMENDATIONS.
and it. may reasonably be hoped that
we shall see good results il the near
future"
1t is we'll that this committee calls
attention to the fact that some Of
the plans now proposed were talked of
so years ago. 1t will be remember
ed by readers of the Manufacturers
Record that IS years ago 10 Ameri
can cotton growers were engaged by
English cotton manufacturers to go
to India, with view of developing
on a larger scale cotton growing in
that country, based on their expert
ence in the South. After a few years
they returned to the South, having
been unable to accomplish anything
in the larger development of cotton
growing in India. The world must
still look to the South for cotton.

COLONEL HOUSE
ARRIVES HOME
Suffers From Attack of Grip,
But Is Said to Be
Improving

New York, Oct. 13.-Colonel Ed
ward M. House. personal advisor to
President Wilson at the Paris Peace
Conference, arrived here yesterday
on the transport Northern Pacific,
suffering from slight attack of
grip" Colonel House spent nearly
year in the French capital, where
he has been representing President
Wilson in the Supreme Council since
the latter's return home. With Col
onel House were his wife; Com
mander William Mclean, his per-
who have been members of the Col
onel's party at Hotel Crillon.
The Colonel himself would make
no statement regarding his health
except to say that he was much bet
ter" but it was noticed that friends
helped him down the gangplank
when he came ashore. Passengers
said that he rarely left his. state room
during the trip from Brest, and that
several times while at sea his per-
sonal physician called in Captain
E. j. Lee, the ships surgeon, for
consultation. Information given out
following these consultations stated
that Colonel House was suffering
from slight attack of grip"
While newspaper men who were
admitted to the ships saloon for a
short interview with the Colonel
agreed that he seemed to be "a very
sick man." several close friends of
the diplomat expressed delight at
finding him looking so WELL"

EMIGRATION IS
GERMAN PUZZLE
Huge Taxation Now Planned
Is Reason For Division
of Opinion

Berlin, Oct. 13.-The moot ques-
ton of emigration forms a puzzling
problem in Germany. all the more
so because of the huge taxation that
is planned.
The empire is divided into two
unequal campS-those who favor
the emigration of between fifteen
and twenty million Germans because
they feel that Germany can only re-
cuperate If it has q smaller popu-
lation to nourish and support, and
the vastly larger group that feels
emigration must not be allowed be-
cause the forces are needed here to
take part in rebuilding and in pay
ing taxes.
Financial experts estimate that a
man represents to Germany capi-
tai of twenty times his annual earn
ing. AS the average German work
man now earns 1000 marks, his
capital would be 10000 marks. If
10000 emigrate each year as has
been suggested, then the Fatherland
is eight millions poorer each year,
say the experts, and that much in
trinsic capital is permanently lost.
AS the workman is the highest eco
nomic property Germany still pos
SeSSeS, emigration is IL lie anu uedlH
question for Germany.
Judge Bamberger of Aschersle-
ben,, one of the many who have been
discussing the emigration problem
recently, declared that the new emf
grafton bureau of the government
must restrain each would-be emf
grant at least six months, not only
so that his case may be investigated
but that he may have chance to
change his mind.

Boys Need More Room
at the Central Y.M.C.A.

Due to the expansion of boys
work at the Central. Y. M. c. A. ex-
tensive alterations will be made in
the portion of the building used for
boys rooms. Arch II. Dinsmore,
secretary for boys work, said to-
day that work would begin shortly.
The two rooms which are at pres
ent connected by door will be
opened into one large room. and the
arrangement of billiard tables. Vic
trola, chairs and couches changed
to afford greater space. Mr.. Dins-
more will have a private office,
somewhat smaller than the one oc-
cupied at present, and the counter
will be moved out so that a man
standing behind it may have an un-
obstructive view of the room. Candy,
"Y" pins and pennants will be sold
at this stand.
Mr.. Dinsmore said that this ar
rangement will be temporary at
best, as the increase in every form
of "Y" activity is sure to demand a
new building shortly.
The Kodak Clubs will meet Ed
ward Manser on Monday evening
at 7 o'clock and all boys who wish
to join need only be "Y' member
and have kodak to be eligible. All
| who wish to join should see Arch
| Dinsmore before next Monday.

PRESBYTERIANS
SET FOUR GOALS
Ask Increase in Gold, Service,
Life and Prayer; Make
Progress

New York, Oct. 13.-Four great
goals for increases in gifts OF prayer.
service, gold and life are set before
the women of the Presbyterian
church in the United States in the
two-year jubilee enlistment cam
paign of the Presbyterian Women's
Board of Foreign Missions, the first
year of which has Just ended.
The goals are the obtaining of L.
100000 intercessors in offering pray
er to further the work. the increase
in numbers in existing organizations
and the forming of societies for
every age in every church with the
promotion of mission study and the
training of leaders, the raising of
100000 for the enlarging of mission
work, especially in the medical field;
the enlstm ent of many more to give
their lives to the work in foreign
fields.
The jubilee commem crates the
fiftieth anniversary of the establish
ment of the Presbyterian Women's
Board of Foreign Missions, which
comes in the spring of 1920. The
workings are along ihe general
Presbyterian new era line of increase
! in all church activities.
The "Seven Ps."
In addition to being known as the
Jubilee Campaign the campaign is
also known as that of the Seven
P's" because, for the fulfillment of
the important plans the work must
be prayerful, purposeful, practical,
persistent, prudent, patient and pow
erful.
The plan for the enlistment cam
paign is simple and consists mainly
in the appointment of a jubilee mem
Der in every organization of the
church, beginning with the synod
ical societies and extending to the
auxiliary societies and the children's
bands. This member is known as
key woman and is carefully chosen.
All the jubilee planning is done by
her and by committees appointed TO
assist, with helps from various leaf
let's and plans offered by the board.
Each Organization has its key wo-
man. The success or failure of the
! work depends primarily upon the
care with which this important per-
sonage is selected.

Policewomen in London
Made Good, Say Authorities

London, Oct. 13. - After ten
months of trial the higher authori-
ties of the Metropolitan police have
decided that women police officers
have made good, and the 100 now
on duty will be retained. They
must be of good education, possess
ing, tact, kindliness and a sympa-
thetic nature, willing to work seven
hours a day for $40 week and be
ready at all times for duty.
The force was recruited from the
patrol workers of the National I'm
ion of Women Workers employed by
the commissioner in 1916 to aid in
the protection of the city. They did
excellent work, but last November 1t
was felt. that the pressing need for
them had passed, and they were dis
banded.
The cessation of hostilities, how
ever, brought thousands of young
officers from the fighting front to
London, and the fear that an orgie
of dissipation might follow the
rigors of life in the trenches induced
the police to retain 100 picked wom-
en- for duty in the night life sec
tions.

Musk Ok Meat Now
Seems Assured

Calgary, Alberta, Oct. 1S.-Vil-

his reindeer and muskox plans as
enunciated in interviews and ad-
dresses here last week that before
he left for the East certain local
capitalists waited on him and Of
fered financial support to any prop
osition he might submit.
1t is understood that Stefansson
encouraged them to embark in this
venture, but added that he could not
take a personal oversight, as his
plans called for further eXplora-
tions and researches in the northern
regions.
However, he put the investors in
the way of getting into the rein
deer and muskoX business on sub
stantial basis.
Stefansson says that reindeer and
muskox meat will be quite common
foods in the United States and Cana
da inside the next fifteen years.
