PREDICTS COTTON
WILL BE SCARCE
British Expert Says Supply
Next Ten Years Will Be
Threatened

Blacxpool. Eng, Dec. 12.-Pro-
fessor John A. Todd, one of the
British delegates to the World Cot
ton Conference at New Orleans, in
october last, told the Textile Insti-
tute the other day that the world
supply of cotton for the next 10
years was seriously threatened. He
saw indications that the scarcity OF
cotton would increase as the worio
capacity to consume 1t returned 10
normal.
Professor Todd said the first step
to be taken should be to assure the
grower of a reasonable price to cover
the cost of production and to re-
ward him adequately for growing
improved cotton. He pointed out
that the present system of market
ing did not encourage the productlon
of better cotton and insisted that the
British government might well do
great deal more than this to extend
the cotton industry. He pleaded for
rigorous economy in consumption.
The American cotton crop, said the
Professor, was the limiting factor IN
the worlds supply. This crop had
developed an extreme undesirable
see-saw movement of acreage, crops
and prices. There had been five
bad crops in succession with high
prices accentuated by world intia-
ton.
Before the war, said the speaker,
a large part of the American grow
ers were on a small margin of pro-
fit and when prices did not gay they
reduced their acreage. This oe-
Cured during the war and the acre
age then lost had not since been re-
covered. American acreage was re-
duced in 1919 and. owing to bad
weather, this years was "a disas-
trous failure and a calamity" The

Kills Himself Seeking
"More Action" in His Story

Freeport, L. l., Dec. 12.-Stanley
Simon, aged 10, accidentally killed
himself while trying to solve a prob
lem in the use of revolver which
arose in a short story he was writing,
according to Coroner Wilbur South
ard, who conducted an inquest.
Simon was found dead beneath a
mirror. H. S. Simon, his uncle. tes-
titled that a magazine had returned
a short story written by his nephew
with the request for more action in
it. This brought up question con-
cerning the method of using a re-
volver. The uncle told him of sit
uation described in a magazine, got
his own revolver, unloaded it, allow
ed Simon to handle it. Later he re-
loaded it and put it away.
After the body was found, the
magazine was discovered on a table
open at the story mentioned by the
uncle.
1t is presumed that the young man,
after his uncle and aunt had left
the house, got the revolver and, not
knowing that the cartridges had
been replaced, pulled the trigger.

result was that prices had been
forced up to a very high level.
Europe and Asia are without
stocks of cotton goods, said the Pro-
fessor. The amount of cotton which
the worlds mills could spin and
weave is now restricted by destruc-
tion of machinery in the devastated
regions of Europe and restriction OF
the hours of labor but these con-
ditions would not be permanent.
One thing which alarmed him was
the enormous development of the
use of motor cars in America with
a consequent demand for 100000
bales of staple cotton for fabrics in
tires. This demand existed at q
time when the whole world supply of
staple cotton. he said, had been re-
duced to 100000 bales.

Legend Of the Christmas Rose

the shout of an embatted host, now murmur-
ing soft like mothers lullaby" Then they all
disappeared us suddenly as they had come and
everything was as it had been. The first thing
that they all wanted TO do of course, was TO
run up to Bethlehem and see the child and see
if what the angel had told them was true. And
in talking it over, they decided that they should
take some gifts along with them. SO they
gathered together what YOU would suppose
shepherd would, soft skin, pair OF pigeons, Il
white lambskn and made ready TO depart. Now
Nladoon, as the little girl was called had never
wanted to do anything in her life as much as
she wanted to go along and see that baby that
the angel said would be in a manger in stable
She asked her father if she might go, but he
was too excited with all he had seen to hear her.
so she crept along by his side unnoticed.
When they got to the little town it wasn't
hard to find the baby, for it was so unusual for
a child to be born in stable that every one
had heard about it and was able to tell them
where to 90 without any delay. But when they
got there and crowded about the manger Of
fering their gifts, poor little Madolon was so
embarrassed that she hid over in dark corner
by herself, and didn't even look at the baby she
had come so far to see For wasn't she the only
one in all that crowd who hadn't brought HIM
anything, and there were all the beautiful gifts
around the place that the wise men had
brought, too? And she was probably more
anxious to see the baby than any OF them.
Tears began to flow down her cheeks, and
when she had wiped them away, there before
her stood the very angel that she had seen back
on the hillside He asked her why she didn't
go up and see the baby and she began to cry
afresh, and told him she was ashamed because
she had no present to give him. The angel
smiled the most heavenly smile, and struck the
ground at the little girls feet and there before
her very eyes sprang up the most wonderful
rosebush covered with white roses Madolon
filled her arms with them, the more she picked
the faster they grew, and then with her little
head in the air, pushed her way thru the
crowd of men and laid her offering at the young
mothers feet The air was filled with fragrance
and the baby stirred on his mothers arm and
opened his eyes and to her dying day, Madolon
insisted that he smiled straight at her.
The shepherds went back home and told the
news broadcast, but people never could per-
suade Madolon to talk much about what she
had seem She grew up into a quiet little wom-
an. and was thought by some to be queer" but
she always seemed to be living her life with the
memory of the Christ Chid's smile.
