WATERWAY BUDGET,
TO Be "PORKLESS"
Appropriation for Rivers and
Harb0rs This Year Is
Cut to Bone.

The rivers and harbors bill for the
fiscal year beginning July ]. must
be absolutely "porkless" and carry
an appropriation smaller by many
millions than any waterways devel-
opment measure in recent years.
Members of the Republican steer
ing Committee admitted that they
had ordered the rivers and harbors
sstimates "cut TO the bone" and that
no. new projects be provided for. A
limit has been placed on the appro-
rriation To be recommended by the
committee. but no information was
obtainablG MS to what this figure is.
other than that IL is between 10000
900 and Sl5,OOO.OOO.
The probability is. IL was learned.
that the amount will be nearer the
halfway point OF $1260O.O00. This is
approximately 90 per cent less than
the smallest rivers and harbors ap-
preparation during the years OF the
war.
For the past several years, II is
said by the Republicans leaders, the
average aggregate sum expended in
rivers and harborse work has been
s15,OOO.000 a year. There Is now
unused and unobligated, they add,
upwards OF S40, 900. 900 of previous ap-
propristions made for this work.
Therefore, with the available balance
and the new appropriation the army
engineers, who have charge of all
waterway development undertaken
nv the Federal Government, will
have all the money they can uSe
and more" according TO the Repub-
licans.
The surplus has accumulated, 1t Is
explained. as n result of the engineers
inability TO place contracts within
the limits fixed by Congress.
The plan of the Republican leaders
and the Rivers and Harbors Commit
tee is to provide a lump sum and
place the responsibility upon the
army engineers for its expenditure
for maintenance of projects already
completed and continuation of work
on improvements now under way.
Col. Harris Taylor. of the office OF
the Chief of Engineers. has been be-
fore the committee in executive ses-
sion for several days. The original
estimates submitted by the engineers
aggregated S43,000,0O but this sum
has been reduced to $4,000 900. The
committee now is going over the va
rious projects with Colonel Taylor for
the purpose of ascertainlng how
further reductions can be made 70
conform with the economy program.
: Congressman Frear, Republican,
OF Wisconsin, the chief opponent of
rivers and harbors bills in years past,
states that he will not fight the forth
coming measure If it reaches the floor

DEMAND GROWING
FOR COTTON GOODS
Unprecedented Calls Follow
Four Years Shortage Due
to World War.

. MANCHESTER, Jan. 1S.-The world
is crying out for cotton goods-it
wants to be clothed-and all Lanca-
shire is trying to stop the cry-at
very comfortable profit.
Not only the worlds chest OF
drawers but it's back is bare. In
Africa, China, India, Australia, South
America and Central Europe especiai-
ly. there is a great dearth of cotton
goods. After Ave years of short
supplies they are demanding goods
with unexampled urgency. They are
willing to pay from three to four
times as much as they did five years
ago, and the. quantity they are pre-
pared to take at such prices has no
limit manufacturers here say.
Never in England's industrial his
tory has there been such a cotton
boom as Lancashire il experiencing
today. To be blunt, Lancashire is in
a position to squeeze humanity and
the opportunity is not being neglected.
Statistics show that Lancashire
owns and operates more than one
third of the whole of the cotton yarn
producing machinery in the world.
Shortly before the war she actually
had too many spindles, having in a
fit of optimism added 100000 to
her equipment in the previous ten
years. But today every spindle of her
57,0000 900 is working at high pres
sure.
Raw Cotton High.
Although the cost of raw cotton is
high, and there is a prospect of the
best grades running short, no anNi-
ETY. as to general supplies is felt in
Manchester. Nor is there any seri-
Gus thought of foreign competition.
especially by America and Japan, for
these two competitors have almost

steadily are demanding more pay.

workers are now employed under an
agreement which expires in April
1920. and operators are prepared 10
be shocked by a demand for loo per
cent wage increase.
In Fear of Workers.
Others fear the workers may throw
over the present agreement at any
time. The workers are dissatished
because when they signed their pres
ent contract the present boom had
not gotten under way. The operators
may attempt to forestall trouble by
voluntarily boosting wages all around.
The hours of work were reduced
last July to forty-eight per week,
and since production is determined
mainly by the machine-hours worked
output fell OFF one-seventh. The OPP
orators want to prevent any further
decrease in hours of work. for they
saw they can only increase production
by adding more spindles. ana equip

Garden City, Kan, Aug. fac
cording to estimates made by officials
of the Garden City company, the sugar
beet yield here this year will surpass
that of last season by more than
10000 tons. Such an increase would
place the 1920 beet crop in Kansas
well above the 10000 ton mark. The
irrigated sector adjacent to Garden
City is the only producing area in the
state.
tons per acre is expected, said officials
of the company today when they an
nounced that last week was the first
time they had been compelled to de-
pend on irrigation, so plentiful has
been natural watering this year. Lake
Mckinney now contains sufficient wa
ter for three or four irrigations. 1t IS
mot expected this many will be neces-
sary. so a bumper beet crop is as
sured.
I In addition to this lake, the largest
body of water in Kansas, this area
both on the uplands and in the Arkan-
sas valley is well supplied with water
from pumping stations, operated by
electricity More than 200 miles OF
transmission lines feed this power.
Forty large pumping plants are
operated in this manner. From the
large 2S-inch casing wells more than
, 900 gallons of water are lifted every
minute, night and day.

Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store. and a few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroly, and rinses out easily.
The hair dries quickly and evenly,
