AN UNUSUAL XMAs GIFT

When The Herald undertook
the publication OF The Honor Roll
OF klamath County, we expected
TO complete the work in a few
months. Unforeseen difficulties de-
layed the work for over a year.
During this time some OF the sub
scribers to the book moved away
and we have been unable to get
into touch with them. AS result
we have few copies OF The Hon
or Roll left, and these we will sell
for $3.50 a copy. This book makes
an unusual gift for Xmas. II will
never be republished. the number
Of copies is limited and within
short time It wiz pc priceless to
those fortunate enough to possess
a copy. II you had a friend in the
war, or relative, IL you want TO
give him something that he will
always prize, we can suggest moth

but a few copies left. II would be
advisable TO Immediately call or

BRITISH TRYING TO
ATTAIN INDEPENDENCE
OF AMERICAN COTTON

Crimson College, February 21.-
From a recent report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture on Foreian Mar
kets for Agricultural products comes
the following account, which is of in
terest to cotton producers.
It has been recognized that one OF
the weak points in the British cotton
industry is it's dependence upon for
eign supplies of raw material. Many
years ago it was realized that the
constantly growing demand of the
United States industry for American
grown cotton threatened the perma-
,nent stability of the British industry.
According to the cotton section OF
the London Times Imperial and For
.eign Trade Supplement, "the dominant
character Of the British trade is in
dicated by the fact that one-third Of
the total number of spindles in the
world are in British mills
That the British cotton industry
should be so dependent upon foreign
sources of supply is a thorn in the
side of the Lancanshire trade. In 1902
considerable attention was drawn to
this important subject owing to the
reduction of the American crop and
ii was decided organize a cotton
growing industry within the British
Empire In the following year the
British Cotton Association was form
ed.
Statistics issued by this Association
show that from 1890 to 1914 the
United States consumed only about
81 to 3S per cent of the cotton pro-
~duced in the United States. Since that
time the consumption in this country
has been steadily increasing. From
a home use of slightly more than one
third Of the crop, the United States is
now using considerably uoFe than
hall. For the 1856 season it was
So per cent; for 1861. 81 per cent,
and for 1917-1S, it had increased to
5S per cent.
The work of stimulating the cotton
supply within the British Empire was
interrupted by the World War. New
ertheless, .5,5oo.000 bales of 500 lbs.
Of cotton are now produced within the
limits Of the Empire. Most Of this is
gron in India. Hoover, that country
requires more than so per cent of
the crop for her own consumption,
and the class of cotton poduced is
not suitable for the Lancanshire trade
being Of the short-stapled variety.
Egypt, an old cotton producing region,

staple.
An extra fine staple is being pro-
duced experimentally in the West In
dies; long staple in Sudan; and medl-
UNI staple in Uganda, Nyasaland,
Rhodesia, and Nigeria. However, less
than 100000 bales are being produced
in these new regions, an amount
smaller than is produced in some
counties in the United States.
The British Cotton Growing Asso-
citation is concentrating IS efforts on
those regions which have offered the
best prospects for immediate success.

WHY BOILS
COME BACK
The Cause is in the System, Not on
the Surface-A Good Stimulant
Helps the Blood. ::

Boils, Ulcers, infected skin and
muscle swellings are all akin. Drive
away the boil and it comes again in
another place. Dry up the ulcers
and heal the infected laceps and they
promptly return. Reduce the swell
ing and it will reappear. The trouble
is in the blood, implanted IN the sys-
tenn.
External treatments are only tenn
porarily successful: Nothing short
of a good tonic will suffice.
SarDraS, an excellent compound
of medicinal herbs and roots, an eX-
cellent intestinal stimulant will at
tack the seat of the trouble. ;.
It cleanses the system and olood
and drives away impurities. 1t

Unemployment Centers.
Unemployment so far reported
here seems to center in Philadelphia,
where 10000 textile workers were
laid off; New England, Ohio, Illinois
and on the Pacific coast.
One government official who inves-
tigated the New England situation
from Boston described the situation
as ''very dark"
The shoe manufacturing industry
is working 35 per cent. full time, he
reported, and the textile industry
only so per cent. Employers claim
this is due to lack OF orders, &C.
cording to the report.
Ohio officials report the rubber IN
dustry as employing few workers IN
comparison with last year while SINH
lar conditions are reported from the
automobile industry at Detroit. One
automobile manufacturing concern
laid off $4,000 men yesterday, ac-
cording to one report to take an in
yentory.
A surplus Of labor was reported by
employment managers of California
and Washington.

Battle Foreseen.

Some leaders are preparing to
meet a challenge which they say ell
ployers are planning. According to
the labor men, the employers, noY
that election is over, are banding to-
gether to stage a national battle
against the closed shop. They want
to establish the open shop and re-
dueei wages according to labor Off
eials.
This is likely to preeipitate new
epidemic of labor troubles if under
taken, leaders say. President Com
pers of the A. F. Of L. recently de-
clared workers will not submit to
having their scales reduced.
According to Director Hugh Ker-
win Of the labor department concilia-
tien service, however, industrial re-
lations now are the best in months.
Men are striking less" said ker-
win. owe now have 100 cases pend,
ING but only few minor cases IN
4olve strikes. In most cases the EN-,
ployer and workers seem glad to
keep the factory going while we IN
vestigate and make recommendations
for a change in conditions. 1t is
true that we have been asked to
mediate in some cases where employ
ers tried to cut wages. These cases,
however, are few"
AS illustrative of the friendly
spirit in which both sides now are ad-
iusting, Kerwin called attention to a
disagreement between employers and
several thousand workers in the spell
