SILVER LINING BEHIND CLOUDS

Hayden. Stone & Co. sum up the
business situation in this attractive
form:
THE present moment is the most
discouraging in the process OF read
justment because all the difficulties
and obstacles that are bound to occur
during such a period are now very
much in evidence, while as yet none
of the benefits of reconstruction that
will appear later have materialized.
Dismissal of labor from war plants
throws many thousands out of work,
and creates an impression of unem-
pleyment. Incidentally, this has
greatly increased the efficiency Of
those retained. All these things. how
ever. tend to create apprehension and
cause people to hold off buying. On
the other hand, the very positive ben
efits of reconstruction have yet to
make themselves felt
1--WE believe the 'prostration theory
is quite as valueless as that popular,
ly entertained before the war that no
war COulQ occur, OF dl TIC luOSl,
could last only few months, because
| there would not be enough money to
finance it. After all wars there has
been an Intensely active period of re
! construction. We are familiar witt
the theory that this war has been SO
much greater than any other that pre-
vious experiences do not hold, but as
against this, it is probably safe to say
that the financial condition of any Of
the Entente countries is better than
that of the United States at the close
of he Civil War.
Wars loss is chiefly in the cessa.
tion of the accumulation of capital
goods produced during this time go
ing for destructive purposes, instead
of reproductive. Wealth is increased
only by the growth of crops, the min
ing of ores, etc, and the production
of commodities. This theorfzina

COTTON SEED MEAL USED AS
FUEL,


The high price of coal and the
shortage of ocean freight space have
produced a condition In Egypt under
which cottonseed oil cake is being
used as a substitute for coal as fuel
The crushing industry in Egypt pro-
duces a maximum of ABOUT 1000 tons
of cottonseed oil cake annually for
which there is no 1ocaI consumption.
As the result of lack of shipping
facilities, large stocks of cake accum-
ulated in Egypt The high price Of
coal coupled with a desire for econo-
my in it's use induced experiments with
local products as a substitute. The
relation of the colorific value of cake
to coal was found to be 1 ga tons of
cake to 1 ton of north country large
coal
The present price of coal in Egypt
is about $50 per ton. The price of
oil cake has been fixed by the Gov
eminent at various times during the
past two years at a figure ranging be-
tween $3.50 per ton and the present
price of SIS. Cake is now being large
ly used in place of coal in boiler
plants, in hotels, restaurants, and pri-
ate houses. Boilers and stoves, it ap-
pears, are not detrimentally affected
through the burning of cake. One
larger concern saves two men per
boiler in burning cake instead of coal
Cake ash has a value as fertilizer of
about $25 per ton.-Consular Report.

I'm this connection, we believe ii
is important to note a tendency TO

abroad. Before the war there is No
doubt that, in most lines, the foreign
cost of production was much under
that of this country. There has been.
during the war perioc. a great in

added to respective costs would re

Pickens Bros. Co. have enlisted the
services of the famous Kelly Sales Co..

greatest bargain sale ever attempted by
this enterprising firm. This event be-
gins tomorrow morning at nine o'clock and

bound to move at a rapid rate. Immense
circulars have been scattered in every
nook and Granny advertising the sale,
which has also been given publicity in
The Advertiser which enters nearly every
home in Holmes county. The reaction
from the very high prices prevalent dur
ing the war has set in; the pendulum Is
swinging far towards the other extreme,
as evidenced by the very low cost marks
placed on every article on sale during
this unparalleled bargain sale. A large
and highly competent force of clerks has
been engaged, and every one coming to
the sale will be accorded prompt and
courteous attention and service. To OBJ
tain the greatest opportunity of favorable
selection it is advisable to attend the sale
as early as possible.

exclusive of the time spent at colleges
and the university, in Holmes county, Mr..
Shepherd enjoys wide acquaintanceship
throughout the length and breadth Of the
county, and his popularity is co-extensive
with his acquaintanceship, as attested by
the fact that people from all parts of
the county have strongly urged him to
become a candidate and have assured him
of their support. Should he be elected
to the Office he seeks, the people of
Holmes county may rest assured that
there will arise no possible criticism on
the manner in which the circuit clerks
