Regarding the Belleclaire Golf
and Country Club at Baysde, Long
island. which already has reached
degree of popularity that was not
anticipated for at least a year, |
wish to say that members may send
as many guests as they wish to play
over the course and to enjoy the
privileges of the Club House on
days other than holidays, SATURDAYS
and Sundays, with the understand
ing that the fee for guests is $500
per person whether they use the golf
course whole or half day
On holidays. Saturdays and Sun
days the limit of the number of
guests a member may entertain is
three and then the member must ap-
pear in person with them. This re-
strictlon applies to golf and tennis
PLAYERS.
Motorist members may bring
along as many guests as they please
at any time, it being understood that
motorists have become members
merely for the purpose of having the
privileges of a country club where
they may be certain of getting good
meals for themselves and their
friends.
The dining room facilities are
such-owing to additions and I'M
provements-that 200 persons may
be promptly served at one sitting.
They will be served with the same
quality Of food that has made the
Hotel Belleclare SO popular. They
will have. also. the same fine cook
ing.
If organizations of business men
desire the privileges of the Belle
claire Golf and Country Club for
their one-day tournaments, | will
be very glad to accommodate them
on days other than holidays. Satur-
days and Sundays.
No golf course in the Mctropoli-
tan district is more accessible or
furnishes more convenienoes. Ger
tainly no country club anywhere has
better facilities for serving hrst-class
meals.
My hotel friends throughout the
country have requested to be al
lowed to become associate members
of the Belleclaire Golf and Country
Club and to have the privilege Of
introducing their hometown friends
to us. with the idea of letting them
play golf over our course while they
are visiting New York. | have de-
cided to comply with their request.
knowing full we'll that they will In
troduce to US guests only that mem
bers will be glad to meet.
he greatest number of players
that can be accommodated on an
l8-hole golf course-all Of them
playing in foursomes-is l92, and
even this number will have to be
handled on a time schedule rigidly
adhered to.
The Belleclaire Golf and Country
Cub is now ready to serve its mem.
bers and their friends with splendid
meals and other club house COM
forts and conveniences that am
sure will please all of them very
much.
The membership is growing with
men and women who qualify on the
platform of good-fellowship and
character - and since this is the
only platform upon which members
are selected. it goes without saying
that there is no prejudice or re-
striction as to an individuals race or
religion.
A club formed on ideals of De
mocracy cannot have unfair and
unreasonable prejudices.

Arrival of the Germans in. Paris
Fifteen German newspaper men ac-

Then, followed by the other delegates

OPPOSED TO FREE LOVE.
Women Of Hungary RebsIIsd Against
Communication Law. y

r r.. go
It was due to family quarrel. writes
an Associated Press correspondent
from Budapest that Hungary escaped
having its women "communized" afr
ter the fashion In the Russian "repub-
lie" of Sratoff, rather than to the abb
horrence of Bela Kun to the scheme,
as the latter afterwards stated. The
law to communize women. was ac-
tually framed and in the printers
hands, ready for publication when
Herr Weltner, one Of the cabinet OF
bright young men, who are now ruling
the fate Of the former kingdom, went
home for supper. During the meal he
told his wife and his mother -in-law In
glowing terms about the projected re-
forms.
What are you doing for womenT
they asked.
Weltner then explained that In fu-
ture women would be free too; that
they too would be permitted to choose
their own husbands and discard them
|if they liked by the simple process OF
paying a. few cents for q legal paper
declaring their "unfitness" for mar
ried life. Further conversation de-
Eeloped the TACT that the new law also
gave husbands the same right; that
children might be turned over to the
care of the state so that both husband
and wife would get rid of the duties
and responsibilities Of rearing their
own offspring.
"Do you mean to tell me that you
can get rid of me from one day TO an
other and marry the next day II you
like?" demanded young Frau Welt
ner.
"That's how the law stands" re-
piled the husband:
Then the storm broke. Both wife
and mother law began to scream
and a frenzied scene followed, the up
shot of which was that the women de-
manded that Weltner should get the
law stopped or they would leave MIN
at once and would, moreover, get all
the wives, mothers and mothers-in-
law of all the ministers to do the same.
Weltner in the interest Of his home
comfort and peace, eventually prom
iised to do his best to get the law res
cinded. He went to the telephone and
had a conversation with Bella Kun and
"a, ..hor ,,iniatora and then called
'up the printers, telling them that no
proof needed to be pulled" from the
forms where the law lay. He also or
dered that the type should be melted
up and the copy destroyed. 1t was
thus that the law died.

GOVERNMENT COST ESTIMATES
Interesting Figures as to the Expense
T. of Producing Cotton.

of Producing Cotton.
In a recent statement on the cot
ton situation. Col. Clarence Ousley, as
sistant secretary of agriculture, used
the following interesting comparative
data on the price Of cotton.
There has been much ignorance in
regard to cotton prices. 1t will sur
prise many people to read the follow-
ing figures. The price of cotton on
the farm on April 1, 1914, was lis
cents a pound, and on April l, 1913,
24.5 cents pound, or an increase OF
|l206 per cent The price of wheat ON
April 1, 1914, was S4.2 cents bushel'
and on April /, 1919--214.2 cents a
|,bushel, or an advance of 259 per cent
The price of hogs on the farm April l.
1914. was rs cents a pound, and on
April 1, 1919, 1913 cents pound, or
an average of 205 per cent. The whole
sale price of cotton goods, according to
on April 1, 1914, was 8 5-S
cents a yard for print cloths GAS Bos-
ton, and on April 1, 1919. Ia cents a
ward. an advance of 200 per cent, and
of staple ginghams April 1, 1914 %
cents a yard, and on April 1, 1919 l7s
cents, an advance of 2so per cent, or
an average advance for these TWO
classes of staple goods Of 240 per cent
"While the cost of producing cot
ton under present circumstances has
not been completely calculated Tor
each region of the cotton belt, depend
able estimates have been made In sew
eral regions, and at the present price
of 24.5 cents to the farmer cotton al
fords but little, if any, profit. II the
crop of 1919 should exceed consump-
tion by a million or two bales and ada
n the carry-over that much more the
probability is that cotton would decline
considerably below the cost OF produc-
ton. That is why cotton farmers are
solicitous and bankers and merchants
in the cotton belt who are carrying cot
ton on a credit basis quite above pres
emf quotations are taking thought Oh

in Paris. It is summed up in the lines
of Mr.. Nppling:
TITS Tommy this and Tommy that
And Tommy what you may;
But it's Howdy, Mr.. Atkins
When the band begins to play"
The band has quit playing and sol.
diering in peace times Is something
else again.
The matter Of soldiers and soldier.
ing Is quite an important feature OF
the peace conference just now. It IL
involved In almost every one Of the
national and international questions
which are being thrashed out from day
to day. It even creeps into the league
Of nations plan. If the league becomes
a fact, with some Of us In 1t and some
not-especially Germany. and Russia
those that are In must have enough
soldiers to keep the peace with and
between those that are not.
Then again there are all sorts Of ma.
lions in more or less trouble these days
and all Of them have got to have SOL
diers to get. them out. Either that OF
the Bolsheviki will use wooden clubs
and run things to suit themselves
Spain Is constantly on the edge OF
trouble. Italy and the Jugo-Slavs have
severed speaking relations. Germany
Is disturbed internally, the Poles are
disturbed on all sides. and goodness
knows what shape the Luthanians and
Ruthenians and Ukrainians may be In
tomorrow. These and other people
just naturally can't see their way clear
to get along without soldiers. And Il
one country has an army the nexi
must have one. So on ad infnitum
Even a peace conference has to have
lots of soldiers.
Pm afraid my efforts to get at Col
onel Houses waste basket didn't help
much in furnishing you with newi
about peace, but am still on the job
trying hard, and will hope not to gel
thrown off the track next time by any
unhappy incident like encountering the
victorious heroes on the back stairs.

except on a basis of profit which will
bring to the agricultural interests OF
the south prosperity equally as great
as the prosperity of the grain-growing
sections Of the west. The south should
not attempt to produce this increased
supply Of cotton. except on basis OF
price which will completely change Its
economic life, which will give to its
farm laborers and to its tenant farm
ers q living wage Of income without
the necessity Of eking out scanty
existence based on the work Of women
and children in the cotton fields. Phis
is the great economic and moral issue
before the south. It is economic be-
cause it means the question Of poverty
or prosperity for a very large proper
ton of. the people Of the south. 1t Is
a great moral and educational issue,
because it means the education or the
continued illiteracy of very large
proportion Of the poorer classes Of the
south.
The man who opposes the higher
range of prices for southern cotton,
which would completely change the
economic and educational life Of this
section, is deliberately working for hu-
man slavery, more CALLING, more de-
grading, to the poorer classes, white
and black, of the south than was the
slavery of ante-bellum days.
He who wants to place himself on
the side of poverty and against educa-
tional development should favor low
price for cotton. All others will favor
a profitably high price.
For many years the Manufacturers
Record has taken the ground that the
south would be infinitely better off If 1t
had never raised bale Of cotton. I'm
der that condition its agriculture
would have been diversified and 1t
would be far richer than 1t is today,
and slavery would never have been
tied SO tightly around the neck OF the
south. Today the south can discon-
tinue raising cotton and turn to diver
sified agriculture with far less loss to
itself than would be the loss to the
rest of the world. If the. world wants
the south to raise cotton, it must pay
a profitable living price.
