BOIL WEEYIL SPREADS.
Line Now Runs Through Calhoun
Falls, Columbia and sumter.


Clemson College, Oct. l5.-During
the last two weeks no boil wcevil
maps have been issued by the South
Carolina Crop Pest Commission owing
to the fact that the line would not
have been good after twcnty-four
hours. Requests for maps, therefore,
have been answered by sending to
those correspondents the various
points in the state through which the
wccvil line passes according to the
last tclcgraphic report from the in
Spector.
The line al this time runs through
Calhoun Falls, through a point about
ten miles above Columbia and Sumter,
and no one knows how much further
this line will have advanced by the
time this report reaches the readers.
The conditions for wcevil migration
have been the best possible, due prin-
| cipally to the fact that cotton stopped
fruitng, and since the squares formed
| the wccvil's preferred food. migration
| began in search Of squares. e
Permits for the shipment of seed
| and huls have been withheld over
wide latitude in the eastern part Of
| the state. The commission fears to
go as near the line as has been Gus
tOmary on account Of the great activi-
ty Of the pest and the necessity Of
using every prccaution to protect free
territory which would not be reached
by the wccvl this year. II is for this
reason that the commission has been
so conservative in issuing permits for
shipments to the mills in the north
crn part of the state.

is placed at 17,725 officers and 1898
men in an article recently published
by Captain Francisco LazcanO, who
is referred to by Mexican newspapers
as being in a position to speak with
accuracy. According to his figures,
which are based on reports for the
month of April, there are two gen

brigade, forty-eight brigadiers and
843 jefes (chiefs) whose ranks have
been recognized by the government
as permanent There are, however,

WHY SHOULD NOT SIGNAL CORPS
MEN VOTE?

One Of the objects Of James Wick
ersham's visit to Valdez at this time
is to gain evidence Of 'illegaT' voting
by soldiers, principally men of the
signal corps located there. Unlike
the ordinary enlisted men of the
army, these men are part and parcel
of the social and business life OF
Alaska, being employed in the oper-
alton of the land telegraph lines and
marine cables by which commun1ca-
ton is maintained in the territory
and between the territory and the
States. They have their families and
their homes here, and there would
appear to be no good reason why
they should be denied the franchise
merely because they wear the uni
form of Uncle Sam.
Someone signing himself Alaskan
has written the following apprecia-
ton of this worthy class of workers,
which is entitled to consideration in
connection with the efforts of the ex-
delegate to disfranchise these men:

HIGH PRICES UNWARRANTED

The federal trade commission has
found that the high price of shoes
can not be justified by underlying
economic conditions. The commits
sion, after exhaustive inquiry into
the price of hides, leather and shoes,
recently reported to congress that the
larger packers control the hide supply
and have taken excessive profits and
passed increased costs to subsequent
steps in manufacture and distribu-
ton; that the tanner has taken ex-
ceptiOnal profits; that the manufac-
tUrer of shoes has taken unusual
margins and that the prices charged
by the retailer are not justitiable,
each factor in the industry adding
to the burden he had to bear bear be-
fore he passed it on to the next.
The summary of the commissions
report is as follows:
This report treats of conditions
in the leather tanning industry, in
Guiding the hide trade and the boot
and shoe industry, including the mer-
chandising of shoes. The period
covered by the inquiry is from 1914
to 1918 inclusive, except in regard to
certain financial data The out
standing facts established by the in
CURRY are as follows:
'First-BetWeen 1914 and 1917 the
prices of hides, the principal factor
in the cost Of producing leather,
greatly advanced and the differen-
tial between country hides and
packer hides increased beyond the
usual proportion, due to the more
marked increase in the price of hides.
SecOnd-Though there was an in
crease in the cost of hides to the
tanner, the prices Of his product
leather-adyanced to a point that
could not be justified by the cost Of
producing it. This conclusion is sup
pO4 lCN w ILIC IllSll 1IC0 vi lCtuI IL O1l
investment received by tanners.
''Third-The cost Of manufacturing
shoes increased greatly between 1914
and 1917, but, as evidenced by the
high rates of return on investment,
not to an extent that warranted the
prices at which manufacturers sold
their product.
"Fourth-The absolute margins of
profit taken by retail shoe merchants
PEI pair Of shoes grew wider ans
their costs of shoes increased be-
cause their rate of profit remained
substantially without change.
"Fifth-As a result the public had
to pay prices for shoes that could not
be justified, not only because retail
shoe dealers took too much profit but
because the dealer had to pass on to
the consumer the excessive profits
received by butchers for hides and
also the excess profits of tanners and
shoe manufacturers"
