price of labor, which cannot do its
work without adequate food, must go
up. And when the price of labor
goes up everything used by the popu-

And so it is that, while the grain

cost them billions upon billions in

MEXICO ASKS RETURN OF
SANTA ANNA'S CORK LEG

Springfield, ILL.,, March 20.-Turn
back the pages of time eighty years.
Gen Santa Anna rides fiery steed
in the battle of Cerro Gordo as COM
mander of a Mexican unit against the
Americans. One leg hangs Imply on
the side of the horse. Why? 1t is
cork. Yes. the great generalissimo
has but one good support.
Comes a dash from the Americans.
Gen. Santa Claus-no, we mean San
to Anna-retreats in haste. In the
disorder off comes the cork leg. When
the smoke of battle is cleared away
two buck privates of Company B. 4th
Illinois Infantry, discover the leg and
bring it back to the American lines
in triumph. Later it is sent to Hi
nois and Springfield, where 1t re-
poses today in the state historical
library.
Now comes a request from the Mex
lean government for a return of the
leg. 1t would have the trophy as a
memorial, says communication to
the state government from the strife
torn republic to our south. Whether
it will be returned is matter still
to be decided, AS there Is no partic-
ular danger of a new Mexican crisis
over its disposition state officials are
taking their time in deciding the
matter.

THE TALLEST CHIMNEY

Hardly does one place boast of
the tallest stack in the world when
a taller one is built at another place
Japan boosted one $40 feet high and
then Tacoma, Wash, built one with
a height of SIS feet. But now the
record has gone to Anaconda, Mont,
where a stack rises 5S5 feet and has
an inside diameter of so feet at the
top.
One wonders as to the purpose OF
such enormous stacks. A draft must
be created and the smelter gases dis
posed of. But besides that, the stack
does reclamation work. From the
metallurgical smoke are reclaimed
gold, silver, copper and arsenic which
would otherwise be wasted. 1t has
been estimated that stack in Ari'
IONA throws away 1900 tons of cop
per a year.
A Montana smelter wastes enough
sulphur dioxide in day to make g.
400 tons of sulphuric acid. Not only
is it desirable to recover this ma
terial, but unless recovered the sur
rounding vegetation and population
suffer. For example, the present
biggest stack is expected to recover
S2 tons of arsenic day-enough to
poison all the potatobugs and other
pests in the world it would seem.

PEOPLE HUNGRY;
FLOUR R0TTING
Government Holds $50, 000,'
600 Worth OF Flour Yet
People Starve

In all the government laundering
with the country's food products no
other example approaches in mex
cusable stupidity the following story
from the New York Sun-Herald:
with or without Congress author
ity, Mr.. Julius II. Barnes, head of the
United States Grain Corporation,
wants to rush more than $4,000
900 of flour to save thousands of
human beings in Austria, Poland and
Armenia from starving to death. No
body blamed him for that. There
are more breadstuffs in this country
than can be consumed here. There
are more breadstuffs in this country
than can be disposed of in foreign
markets. The Grain Administration
has on its hands thousands of tons of
food which 1t can't get rid of any
where or anyhow. And Mr.. Barnes
is quite right to say that when five
million barrels of flour are spelling
on his hands because he can't sell any
of it 1t is a shame not to send 1t to
save famished people from death by
starvation.
But with all sympathy for those
starving peoples and with all sup
port of Mr.. Barnes plea for giving
them relief, one also may justly re-
mind the United States Grain Cor
poration and the United States Gov
eminent what a wrong has been done
the American people to make them
pay famine prices for their bread.
This is exactly what they had to do
when such prodigious SURPRISES of
breadstuffs were piling up that now
there is no way to get rid of the
supplies, and if they cannot be seIt
on an errand of mercy across the seas
they must rot.
Five million barrels of flour! In
the United States there is an esti-
mated number of some 20,000,00o
families. A whole barrel of flour
for one American family out of every
four! A quarter of a barrel of flour
for every American family! And all
of it going to waste!
Mr.. Barnes declares the American
people will not buy 1t because it is
flour made of soft winter wheat and
they want only the higher grades of
flours. This may be the fact, although
it also may be the fact that the
American people were not willing to
pay nearly $11 barrel for such
flour. II they could have bought the
inferior flour for something like what
they used to pay for the very best
grade of flour they might have been
glad to take 1t.
But suppose American consumers
would not have taken the flour now
left on the Grain Corporation hancs
at half of S11 barrel or at any price
and suppose the millions of bushels
of wheat which went into that flour
when there was no demand for it had
been offered as basic food, in the
grain, to others who could have used
, it. The millions of bushels of wheat
would have looked good to the
farmer who was short of supplies to
fatten his poultry and hogs.
When the Administration lacked
up and held up the prices of wheat
and flour, although there was a vast
surplus for American consumers and
although those American consumers

WORLD COTTON
CROP DECLINES
Britain's Textile Trade Said
To Be In Grave Dam
ger

London, March 2O.--The decline in
the worlds supply of cotton will
ieopardize Britain's great cotton in
dustry unless the quantity can be in
creased. says the American Chamber
of Commerce In London, directing at
tention to the report recently made
TO the Board of Trade by a commit
tee representing the British Empire
Cotton Growing Association. In the
cotton Industrial districts of Lam
cashire and Yorkshire, 100000 peo-
ple are directly dependent for their
living on cotton, while, indirectly g.
600. 900 are dependent on It,
The main dependence of Great
Britain's cotton industries Is admit
tedly on supplies of American cot
ton, and. as the chamber points out
within the last five years, for various
economic and climatic reasons the
American cotton acreage has consid-
erably decreased while her consump-
tion has increased British experts
have estimated that IL the yearly
American crop should drop below the
average, say of 100000 bales. OF
600 pounds each. of which Britain
normally absorbs $4,000 bales, the
Lancashire trade would have to re-
sort to short-time working. Given
a continuance of the same shortage
conditions, all manufacturing ma
chlnery would ultimately cease. In
view OF this opinion the estimated
drop this year in American cotton TO
100000 bales is giving rise to
much serious thought in Britain'E
trade circles.
Taking pre-war figures as a basis
the American Chamber places the
worlds total output of cotton at ap
proximately 25,5O0.O00 bales of 300
mounds each. OF the finest Sea Is
land cotton grown (and also the
smallest crops). the British empire
takes 1000 bales of total of H.
900; of the second grade, and the
best Egyptian cotton, totaling 6Z2'
600 bales, the empire takes 552,OO6;
of the remaining 100000 bales Of
Egyptian, African and Peruvian COT
ton. Great Britain's share is 10000
bales.
With a view OF making the en-
pire self-supporting. the committees
main suggestions are: That gov
eminent should make an ennual
grant of at least 10000 pounds to-
ward the work OF the committee; that
a bureau be established for inter-
} change of knowledge in connection
with the cotton growing; that funds
approximating 100000 pounds per
annum. for cotton growing within
the empire, should be raised by levy
on the cotton industry of the United
Kingdom; and, finally, that the gov
eminent should be prepared to assist
the colonies and protectorates by
guarantees to provide railroads.
waterways, harbors, etc.
Lancashire appears, says the Amer
her share toward adopting the re-
concentrations of the committee. Al
a meeting of the Manchester Chamber
of Commerce there was practically au
unanimous agreement that means
should be devised to augment sup
plies Of British grown cotton, and
there seems little doubt that the
suggested annual levy of 100000
pounds would be easily raised among
the Lancashire cotton interests.
