cutting off of the supply from that

900 per ton. Is it any wonder that

LOSS IN PROPERTY
EXPECTED TO RUN
UP INTO MILLIONS

Chicago, March 30.-The death
toll of Sundays tornadoes which
ripped paths Of destruction through
sections of eight states stood early
today at lat, with fears expressed
that reports from isolated regions
and deaths among the injured might
increase the total.
Stricken communities were emerg-
ing today from the wreckage
wrought by the storm and relief
measures for the thousands of in

Wire communication in this affect
ed areas was being restored and this
was expected to aid in clearing up
the extent of the destruction and the
total number of those who lost their
lives.

conditions. In those days the bulk of
the South's cotton crop was shipped
Ntrth, spun into yarns and manufac-
tured into goods, and shipped back
South and sold at the retail stores.
The South, which was producing all
OF the raw material instead of prof
iting by the fact, was paying double
freight bill, and putting the profits in
another section. 1t was paying the
in gthe freight of the goods back
South, and allowing the profits of
manufacture to remain in the North.
Then some bolder spirits began to
try that which the chemists said could
not be done. They began to manufac-
ture fine yarns with Southern labor
and in Southern climate. The results
have been successful from the very
start, and today there are more spin
dies making coarse and fine yarns in
the South than there are in the North.
Everything is made from the coars-
est yarns to the finest counts, and i'm
very recent years a number of manu-
facturcrs arc finishing the goods South
rather than shipping them North to
be finished. In fact, there are sew
cral highly successful merccrizing and
finishing plants in this State, and
there will be many more. There is
also tendency among Southern manu-
facturcrs to sci their own output di-
rect rather than to handle through
Northern agencies, and numbers Of
groups Of mills in the South are to-
day selling their own goods. All of
this wonderful change means immense
saving to the South, and it means also
that millions Of dollars which for
mcrly went North are being kept in
the South, to aid in Southern dcvcl-
opmcnt. All of these thoughts are
