A SMALL COTTON CROP

So far as production alone is con- cerned, the stage is set for world shortage of American cotton, the new crop being officially forecast at 10,- 696,000 bales. An enormous surplus of old cotton labor troubles, the for eign exchange situation, political and economic conditions in Europe are counted upon as offsets that will pre- vent cotton famine. Labor, political and financial conditions may have a great influence upon the worlds con- sumption of cotton, but it is certain that the supply will not equal nor nal demand.
 Should the official estimate be real lzed, this crop will make the total production 51,953, ,O0O bales in the past five years. In the preceding five years the production aggregated H. 299SS ,eGo bales, which approximated the worlds consumption of American cotton. It is not certain, however, that the forecast will be realized. The condition of the plant from May until now is against this hope. Stalk and foliage have been raised instead of bolls. It is in great danger of killing trosts at the normal date. The gin ming reports show but 1,854,170 bales glnned to September 25, at which date, 29 per cent of the crop is usually glnned. Unless killing frosts are three weeks later than usual, consid- erable cotton will be lost.
 The world surplus of American cot ton looks larger on paper than 1t really is. It was 6,125,O0O bales of lint and 699,000 of linters, or about oO per cent more than usual. Much of this must have been low grade. Since the war began the principal markets for low grade cotton were closed, while those that could trade With us were mostly users of the better kinds. Last winter Japanese interests made large purchases here

COTTON AND SILVER

Bar silver is factor in the price of cotton which is rarely ever taken into consideration. Yet, it exerts so strong an influence upon the cotton market, that no one wishing to ailtici- pate future developments can afford to ignore it.
 The Far East furnishes the princi- pal market for manufactured cotton goods and yarn. China, for example, before the war annually imported about $11O,OOO,OOO worth of cotton goods. This would be one-fourth the average total of all it's imports. The imports of India are much larger than those of China, and in some years the proportion of cotton goods runs as high as one-third the total This would bring the Indian cotton imports up to $175,000,000. These two countries show what the whole of the Far East means to the cotton trade.
 The amount of goods imported in all these eastern countries depends upon the ability of the people to pay. A crop failure in China would limit it's imports; favorable monsoon storm in India, insuring bountiful crops, in- creases the natives purchasing power and cotton is their principal article of

In four-minute speech on the value
Of War Savings Stamps, given at the
school recently, he said in closing:
"Hate is not characteristic of the
American people, but the Germans
taught us unwillingly how to hate
them. Now it iS a sin not to hate
the spirit they showed and not to
abolish it from the face of the earth.
OF the latter we are positively sure,
because the American passion for JUS
tice is hundred times stronger than
was the German passion for conquest!
81 never entertained the idea OF
becoming an orator and l am sure that
1 lack oratorical ability, but such
qualifications are unnecessary on an
occasion like this, because the only
and best inducement to a true Amer
lean are the calls of his duty and
government, and not even the best

times.
Whether we all realize it or not, we
are now in the midst of period which
will be known to all the oppressed peo-
pies of the world as the Americaniza.

one of US to prove whether he is a sham
American or a genuine American"

chase of War Savings Stamps are

The great railroad builder began to
save even before he had visions OF
the wonderful agricultural and indus
trial empire he was to create.
From the day he arrived In st. Paul
from Canada. after working his way
there, and received for his first days
pay S125, he began to save. He
taught that the dollar that Is worth
more than any other dollar In the
world to you is the first dollar you
save, and that the earlier that start
is made the sooner you will be-r1ble
to meet the great opportunity that
comes at some time to every man.

He let it be known that he did not
place a high vafue on the man who

The immortal Abraham Lincoln was
a. notable exemplar OF the value on
thrift of time. We can picture MIN

the pine fire at night after hard Gay
work log-cutting, reading and re-read-
ing the statutes Of Indiana, the only
book he owned, or learning to write
and figure with a piece Of charcoal on
the hack of a wooden shovel, as he had
no paper or ink.
Another example of what q boy can
do who does not waste time Is tnat
Of a Milwaukee man, Nels Anton Chris
Jensen, recently appointed by the
United States government, through
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, on the
inventors staff of the new United
States Naval Board, which includes
the greatest inventive minds in the
nation. Born in Denmark, Nels GIFTS
tensen's school days ended at IA years
After that he worked in macnlne
shop days and attended a tecnn1cai
school in the evenings. From his saw
ings he betrayed the expense Oh, a
course at tle Copenhagen Technique
Institute, from which he was graduated
at 81. Previous to that he attained ma
tional prominence as an engineer, nav
ing designed, when 10 years Old, tne
Danish lighthouse at Hanstholme' one
of the largest in the world. Dur1ne
the three years he spent on an Eng
fish steamer engaged in Mediterranean
trade he learned enough English to Sc
cure a position with an English manu-
facturing concern. Since coming 10
the United States he has invented
MANY compressed airbrake starters
for railroads, aeroplanes and fire en-
gines that have brought him world
wide fame.
Thomas Edison began to save before
he began to invent. The successful
magazine editor, Edward Box, started
saving on a salary of so cents week.
Grover Cleveland's wages for his nrst
wear of work totaled $50. Garnelc
could not have become president had
he not saved early in life. Horace
Greeley and Cooper founded their ca
reers on saving.
Ex-Governor Ferris of Michigan, now
a college president, lifelong adVo
cate Of thrift, tells Of his own thrifty
training: 'In my youth if had toy
I made it, and made 1t not to suit
myself alone but it had to suit my
father as we'll. His examination Of
nv work and his insistence that
should put the best there was in me
even into my toys put into my back
spine and sufficient lime to last life
time.
There is nothing more important
in the life of a boy today than to gel
the habit Of thrift. The waste Of
nickel is as important as the waste o.
$4,000. When 1 was boy, if wanted
a nickel 1 earned it. After 1 hat
earned the nickel was not allowed II
waste it. That was part of my bring
ing up"
Thrift was the keynote of success

forgotten, that is also the proper time

GERMAN HAD ARMS AND
AMMUNITION FOR MEXICANS

NOGALES, Ariz.-Customs officers
here yesterday arrested Henry
Schmidt, a German, in whose room
they report the finding of 25,000
rounds of ammunition, mostly 30-30
rifle cartridges.
Schmidt is being held on the charge
of having evaded President Wilson's
proclamation of last July, which re-
quires permission from the state de-
partment for the expectation of
munitions to Mexico.
The arrest was the result of a con-
fession said to have been made by a
Mexican boy who was caught while
crossing the border with his pockets
full of cartridges.
Customs officers are investigating
the alleged existence of ring OF
Germans in Sonora, formed for the
purpose of furnishing ammunition to
the Yaqui Indians to enable the lat
ter to harass and pillage American
mining companies.
