Plans for DismantIing Naval Stations

Rapidly.

b b
Queenstown, Ireland.-Plans for the
dismantling of the American naval sta
lions In and around Queenstown are
going forward rapidly. Time will be
required to remove the base hospital
at White Point and much work will be
involved in removing the many big
warehouses which were brought here
from America and set up in record
time. Other important parts OF the
American plant include wireless sta
tons at Queenstown and Aglada and
many hutments.
American officers and men have
made deep impression on the people
Of Queenstown and in other parts OF
South Ireland, and relations generally
have been of the most cordial nature.
This is proved by the fact that num-
Der of weddings already have taken
place. and more than one American
sailor has promised to return for the
girl he must leave behind.
Queenstown has prospered greatly
since the station was established here,
but the people declare their regret In
seeing the Americans depart is be.
cause they have become accustomed to
their presence and like them for the
fine young fellows they are.

WHOSE WAR WAS IT?


Was it Smith, the bankers war or
Jones, the truckman's war? Was it
Labor's war or was it Capitals ware
Was it Autocracy's war or was it Lib

Figure it out. Then sacrifice every
thing and subscribe to the Victory Lib.
erty Loan. For it was The Peoples
War.
1t isn't paid for. 1t must be pail
for. The Victory Liberty Loan will
pay for it. The people must buy
because it was their war. The people
are Smith and Jones. Labor and Capt.

THOSE LIBERTY BONDS

There is lot of money being spent
every day in advertising with the OBJ
ject of separating plain Mr.. American
from his Liberty Bonds either by offers
to buy them outright or trading in
wildcat stock for them. Many plain
Mr.. Americans are rushing in where
wise men fear to tread and are fall
ing" for the advertisements without
thought of why the other fellow wants
the bonds.
Advertising. especially the kind Lib
erty Bond brokers are using, costs a
lot of money. Where does the buyer
get of? Well, be sure he is getting of
else he wouldn't advertise. He isn't In
business for his health. He is after
the money. It's cinch you are help
ing him to a big rake-off when you
trade. or sell your Liberty Bonds.
That's sense, isn't it?
If Liberty Bond is worth, say, sos
to the broker after he has paid for all
of his expensive advertising. it GER
tainly is worth par or more than par to
the holder. For on top of his adver-
Using expenses the broker maintains
costly offices and mach help. That's
sense, isn't it?
The reason the broker wants the
bonds is that he or his clients want to
hold them. It's the brokers' business
to know bond values He knows that
these Liberty Bonds are going to be
valuable things-that they are going
way above par-within year or two.

We are called upon in the coming
Victory Loan to pay the price Of peace.
1t is cheaper than the price of war.
England and France have already
raised their Victory Loans, and their
previous sacrifices in blood and treas
ure have been much greater than our
contributions to the cause OF Liberty.
When the Government first called
upon us the women of Washington
took up their untried task in the field
of war finance with dauntless cour-
age. The Minute Women Service OF
the State Council of Defense was
formed.
To your credit stands more than
$11,oO0,000 worth of Liberty Bonds in
the Fourth Loan. Every woman and
every woman's organization has 9
place in which to work either as in
vestors or promoters in the Victory
Loan.

a sustained enthusiasm in your pa

country

POOR FINANCE
TO LET BANKS
TAKE Y. LOAN
BY M. S. WIldman, Head of the
Department OF Economics and
Political Science at Stanford
University, California.

Just about two years ago. we began
to make war and stopped making
lot of other things or made these
other things only in limited supply.
Railway construction came to a dead
stop. Equipment was worn out faster
than it was replaced. All over the
country building operations were sus
pended In the North Atlantic states
alone the deficiency in building Is
estimated by the Department of Labor
to exceed $500, 100000. If the situation
all over the country is comparable to
this, the accumulated need for con-
struction now exceeds two billion dol
lars. Through wide range of manu-
features from automobiles to chewing
gum curtailment was the order of the
day until now we face a deficiency
in numberless commodities of custom
airy use.
The emergency which led to curtail-
ment is happily past. The interest
of all classes of people requires the
quickest possible resumption of normal
| activity. Consumers want the goods
returning soldiers need the employ
| ment. The heavy war taxes call
for correspondingly large production
while European reconstruction will
| open the way for exports.
This resumption of enterprise, II we
embark upon 1t as we should. vii
require bank loans on tremendous
scale. The high wages and high cost
| of materials will necessitate advances
proportionately greater than in the
/ past. To be available for this purpose
/ the funds of the banks must not bt
4 absorbed by government requirements
/ The necessity for wide public partici
patton in the Victory Liberty loan il
even greater than it was in the case
of earlier loans when curtailment o
industry diminished the needs of pr
vate business.
4 II the banks are compelled to carr.
the government, they cannot at thu
same time carry their customers. Fo
every billion dollars worth of bond
left on the hands of the banks Their
will be just billion less for the re
vival of industry and the employment
of labor.
1t is to the personal interest of ever
man and woman in America to sui
scribe to the Victory Liberty loan on
of his or her savings.

KICKING OVER THE TRACES.

Ex-senator "Joe' Bailey of Texas has "left
the Democratic party" according to report, be-
cause it constantly reduces our liberties and un-
necessarily increases our taxes" Where have
you been, Senator, since April 6, 1917? Don't
you know that there has been a war, that it is not
yet officially over, that it cost something, that
it was up to a Democratic administration to see
it through, and that seeing it through with any
chance of real success required some muzzling
OF food tongues in addition to much cunning for
share of the skinflint's accumulations as we'll as
the appropriation of a mail percentage of the av-
erage citizens savings? AS for going into an
other party, Senator, you still have the liberty
to do that, and you ought to do it if you will be
better suited, but there will be no great excite
ment in any quarter. The people are not worked
up on the subject of parties just now, many of
them suspecting that, after all, the country is the
thing, and that parties are to a great extent mere
.aptase the offices.
1IaviIlg sa..=~~Tnuch, we may add that some
OF Senator Bailey's dlss artad remarks are rath-
er pointed. Take, for example, his declaration
that in this day they tell us it is better to be
good than it is to be free" Some of us other
old-fashioned folk may not be quite ready to 90
the length of asserting that the Constitution has
become a mere scrap of paper, but we are forced
to agree that the rage for overseeing and re9u-
lating other people has reached an unparalleled
and that unless there is a halt we are like
ly to be shackled to the limit.

A COTTON-PICKING MACHINE.

Ever and anon we hear of the successful
demonstration" of a cotton picking machine. De-
the successfully demonstrated machines don't
seem to supplant hand labor. s@z4G
Doubtless, one of these days the practical ma
chine will arrive. There should seem little great
er obstacles to urmount than that faced by Eli
Whitney when he perfected the gin. @2>@ $ -
In this connection the following article from
the Tensas Paris, La, Gazette this week will prove
OF interest: :r
"On Friday of last week, Mr.. L. C. Stukenborg,
the inventor, accompanied by his assistant and
MIR. David Evans of Chicago, President Chicago
Steel + oundry Company, arrived in st. Joseph
bringing with them the Stukenborg Cotton Pick
ing Machine and gave demonstration showing the
practical working OF the machine.
"Ihe machine, which weighs only three hun
dred pounds, is built on a slide and can be easily
hauled through the field by one mule; it is OPP
Grated by gasoline engine, the cotton being picked
from the boil by two sets OF revolving brushes at
tached to the end of a rubber hose about two and
one-half inches in diameter. After the cotton is
picked, an attachment behind the brushes removes
the cotton from the brushes, when it IS caught
by the suction of a fan and blown into a wire bas-
ket. The machine, as demonstrated here is de-
signed to be operated by one man, and will pick
4OO to 600 pounds of cotton per day, according to
which the cotton is blown, being made of IA
small trash is blown through the basket, leaving
small thrash is blown through the basket, leaving
the cotton very much cleaner than when picked
by hand.
"Gute a large number of practical cotton PLAN
ters witnessed the demonstration, and while same
was maze unuer the worst possible conditions the
the concensus of opinion was that the inventloni
was a success as a one man macnlne and fills the

I E OF HIS RACE.

Robert NJ. Motion, principal of Tuskegee In
stltute, has returned from a trip to France, where
he went to advise negro soldiers on their duties
IN the matter of after-war reconstruction. He
told those from the southland that their future
lay in cooperating with the white people of the
south. He brings back the message that the col
ored soldiers are anxious to return to their old
homes and that they are imbued with a spirit of
loyalty to the south and the firm intention of be-
coming useful, law-abiding citizens.
Because he dared to speak plain truths and to,
dsabuse the minds of the negroes of any false
ideas, Motion has been attacked by such of the me-
gro papers of the north and east as exist by the
of racial hatred. The negroes of the
south must realize that Motion is their real friend,
and that the racial and inflammatory publications
are their worst enemies. They must see that they
will be the losers through any course of antagon-
ism to the white element of this section. -s5
The best white people in the south want to see
the negro assured of his economic and Industrial
They desire to see him prosper and de-
velop as a good and useful citizen. The loyal ne
gro in the south will be protected in his just
rights. If there be any, however, who have abb
sorbed anywhere abroad ideas of social mixture,
their place is nowhere in the south
The negroes will do well to follow the advice

WHY COTTON SEED DOES NOT SELL.

WHY COTTON SEEO5DOES NOT SELL. q
The Commercial Appeal calls attention to I
most extraordinary condition in regard to cotton
seed, cottonseed oil and other oils.
When we became involved in the war the, gov
fernn1ent fixed the price of cotton seed, then the
oil sold at . price which gave to the crusher . de.
cent profit. In the meantime, the JapaIIese and
lothers began to dump into America peanut -ol.
soy bean oil and fish oil at a price far below the
price of oil crushed from cotton seed at $40 !
ton. During the interval it had been SO arranged
that the vegetable lard producers could sell their
products at a fair margin of profit, even when
paying for oil crushed from high-priced seed.
Now, some of the lard compound manufact-
urers are buying cotton seed oil and also buying
the cheap Asiatic oil. The two are compounded.
The product is sold at a certain price, but the
profit on the Asiatic oil is so great chat the lard
compound man now makes more than he ever did.
He buys the cottonseed oil in a limited quantity.
He supplies the deficiency from the Asiatic oil.
The mills cannot afford to buy the cotton seed
and run the risk of not having any market for
the oil at the fixed price on cotton seed.
=, Some OF the giant crushers are laying off.
They hope after a bit to buy in the seed at a low
price, then they will crush it and make a profit.
The whole transaction is characteristic of a
species of greed that ran through big business
during the war. Big business is a fool. If the big
does not stop exploiting small business
and the people there is going to be trouble for
big business. Big business already in many activ-
tiles has sinned it's day away.
