AMERICAN LEADS WORLD

Washington, April 16.--American
cotton holds a dominant position in
the worlds cotton markets and will
continue 10 do so for some years at
least despite the efforts OF other
countries to become less dependent
upon the product of the United States
according TO a review Of the world
cotton situation issued by the bu-
reau OF markets of the department
of agriculture.
"There are three factors which con.
tribute to the pre-eminence: The
quantity produced in this country;
tho need for cotton with staple and
an Increasing world consumption"
the report said, "The annual increase
has been estimated at 100000 TO
100000 bales of 500 pounds. For some
years approximately sixty per cent
of the worlds cotton supply has been
produced In the United States; and
in pre-war times about CO per cent
was exported This means that for

upon the United States for some
what more than IS per cent Of their

From 1890 to 1904 the United

HIGH DISTRIBUTION
COST RESPONSIBLE
FOR BIC FOOD R|CE

Washington, April 16.-Declaring
that the costs Of food distribution are
too great the federal trade commits
sion today recommended improved
marketing facilities and processe. at
the great consuming centers as
long step towards lowering the high
cost of living.
The movement Of food should be
made most direct from field to fac
tory, the commission declared in
report on wholesale marketing or
food, one Of the food series in the
first investigation ordered.
Elimination OF unnecessary costs
and losses in food distribution, the
report added, would not only "act
as a counter agent in checking dis
parity in food prices and money in
comes but would strengthen the ma
tons position in its competition for
world trade"
The report asserts that the rapid
rise in food prices in recent years
is not so significant as that the
money incomes Of large number have
fallen far short of a proportional in
crease"
THE weekly payroll Of union or
ganized labor in 1916 bought but n
per cent (according to the department
Of labor as much food as in 1913
The large number of incomes do not
fan within this organized group and
are much slower TO respond to the
pressure of high cost of living.
Moreover those incomes are for the
same reason usually less in amount
1t follows that for very large num-
bers of people receiving relatively
small incomes, a weeks wage in
1915, was purchasing much less than
II per cent OF the food it bought in
1913.
Food absorbs 1872 per cent of the
average American households in
come 1t therefore constitutes no
inconsiderable part Of the wage and
salary cost in all production. OI
TWO communities whose products en-
ter the same markets otherwise
equally, that one which supplies its
working people with food at a lower
community cost either Will pay its
working people a high real wage or
will have n marked advantage in un-
derselling the other through low pro-
duction costs. Both results may in
some measure follow.

wards the food industries may lower

THRIFT" THAT DOESN'T PAY
Some Suggestions for the Housekeeper
and for Those Who Are
Too Saving.

There are some thrift suggestions
that do not always pay remarks a
writer in the New York Sun.
1t doesn't pay, for instance to wrap
the ice in your icebox up in newspaper
to save the ice when by so doing you
will keep the rest Of the lcebox from
being kept cool. You may save your
Ice, but you may lose more than the
worth Of the ice In meat and vegeta-
hles that have been spoiled.
It doesn't pay to make a cake with
out butter or eggs when you have to
throw half of the cake away because
no one will eat it.
1t doesn't pay to do your own house
cleaning TO save the expense of a wom-
nm by the day when this means that
you are not able TO have dinner at
home at an expense Of rather more
than new material would cost.
1t doesn't pay to deal with a grocer
who undersells the other groeers a lit
tie because he has no delivery service
when you spend an hour In getting
your supplies in order to save 10 cents
There are other ways that you can
make an hours time worth much more
than that.
It doesn't pay TO set so economical
a table that your children and your
husband will have a craving for candy
and between meals that will cost very
much more than would be needed to
set a really bountiful table,

famous blind botanist, on whom the

Instead of bemoaning his fate, he got
a friend to take him into the woods
and put him near an oak tree which

from the tree, and. placing ii on his
