COTTON SUPPLY OF WORLD THREATENED
 PROFESSOR WARNS

BLACKPOOL, Eng, Nov. 30 (By
 MaiD-Professor John A. Todd. one of the British delegates to the world cotton conference at New Orleans, in
 October last, told the testile institute
 the other day that the worlds sup ply of cotton for the next 10 years was seriously threatened. He saw indica- tions that the scarcity of cotton would increase as the world capacity to con sume it returned to normal.
 Professor Todd said the first step to be taken should be to assure the grower a reasonable price to cover the cost of production and to reward him adequately for growing improved cot ton. He pointed out that the present system of marketing did not encour- age the production of better cotton and insisted that the British govern ment might well do a great deal more than this to extend the cotton indus try. He pleaded for rigorous econ omy in consumption. The American cotton crop. said the professor, was the limiting factor in the worlds sup ply. This crop had developed an ex- treme undesirable see-saw movement of acreage, crops and prices. There had been five bad crops in succession with high prices accentuated by world imitation
 Before the war, said the speaker. a large part of the American growers were on a small margin of profit and when prices did not pay they reduced their acreage. This occurred during the war and the acreage then lost had not since been recovered American was reduced in 1919 and, ow- ing to bad weather, this years was "a disastrous failure ana as calamity 2 The result was that prices had been forced up to a very high level.
 Europe and Asia are without stocks of cotton goods, said the professor The amount of cotton which the mills could spin and weave is now restricted by destruction of ma in the devastated regions of Europe and restriction of the hours

CALL HIM SECOND TOM SHARKEY
BY FRED TuReYvILLE

When a rising young statesman seeks the presidency, senatorship or some thing as good they say he is second Abe Lincoln" When a young fighter starts knocking them l1iclsir.s, she sport writers and managers began call ing the young hopeTul a second Jim Corbett, John l.. Sullivan. etc.
 So they had to find a ring ancestor for Jack Burke of Chicago, Larney Lichtenstein's sturdy heavyweight. Jack got out of service last summer after whipping the heavyweights in the army camps on this side of the At lantic, and Larney put him to work entertaining the fans and whipping third and second drate heavies.
 Jack made good and attracted con- siderable attention to himself. And they looked him over and declared he was a second Tom Shsrkey."
 Well, maybe Jack isn't as good as old Tom and he may never be as good, for Tom was some battIer, but after seeing the pictures ot the two side by side you must admit they look little alike.
 Burke is 24 years old. two years older than Bob Martin, A. F.. F. and inter allied champ. who he will meet New Years day or early in January. He is slightly under six feet and weighs 1914 He's three inches shorter and six pounds lighter than Martin, who he aspires to whip.
 He may have been outpointed time or two, though he won't admit it. but he boasts a record of never having been floored
 Burke has fought many more fights than Martin. He claims 54 knockouts in 67 fights. He once was matched with Dempsey. but Jack canceled the engagement to take on nan who had more fame.
 He enlisted in the army in 1915 and  knife wound on the border, but fully recovered from the injury.
 His record of victims includes such fellows as Hugh Walker Ole Ander- son, Jack Thompson, Jack Downey, Terry Keller. Jock Moran. Sailor Ka- voskey, Tommy Burrel and Kid George. He and Bob Roper have fought two very even battles

HUSE GETTING IN
 SHAPE FOR RETURN
 GO WITH CHAMBERS

Eddie Huse. welterweight champion of the Pacific coast, has started train ing at Douglas for his return match with Russell Chambers, to be decided at Douglas, the latters home, New Years day.
 When Referee Mcdonald raised Huse'S hand in token of victory over Chambers in this city a few weeks ago. many local fans believed that the Douglas boy had been done an injus- tice. They felt that he was entitled to a draw at least, although it was gen. erally admitted that Huse was the az gressor throughout
 An injured right arm, however. forced Huse to fight one handed en- gagement after the third round. There are many who believe that had Huse retained the use of his right hand, he would have disposed of Chambers be- fore the end of the ten rounds.
 Considerable local interest is being manifested in the coming bout at Douglas. Huse has now regained full use of the right member and will be in tip-top shape when he enters the ring 10 days hence, according to a letter to The Republican Sporting editor from Ben White, Huse's manager.

Does anybody want a Santa Claus If anybody does, the chance to get one is at hand, for F. H.

 The bill would make the restrictions effective until July l, 1920. by deny ing the second-class mailing privilege to papers exceeding the specified mum Der of pages.
 For the weekly and bi-weekly news papers and periodicals, the Anthony bills sets a limit of seventy five pages while the monthly periodicals are re- stricted to hundred pages.
 The bill has been referred to the committee on postoffice and post roads. It is said that many of the larger publishers are endeavoring to hold up consideration of the measure, but the editors of the smaller publi- cations are urging upon their repre- sentatives in congress to support the ball.
 All of the publishers of the metro poIitan newspapers, however, are not opposing the bill.
 MT. Anthony has just received let ter from Jason Rogers of the New York Globe congratulating him upon having introduced the bill and pledg- ing his support.
 Capper To Introduce Senate Bill
 Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas. whose great variety of publications makes him one of the chief consumers of news print paper in the middle west. has advised MT.
