THE INDUSTRIAL MENACE.

America is not suffering alone
from industrial inactivity. In
France thousands of men are out
of work in consequence of slack
ening demand for products. In
the city of Lyons, $4,000 men are
out of employment. In the auto
mobile industry there is a so per
cent decrease of working force
in the leather industry 20 per
cent. are idle; metal workers 35
per cent; tailors 40 per cent. !;
shoemakers, 60 per cent, and in
all lines of business there is stag
nation. A great industrial crisis
menaces France in common with
)ther nations.
High prices, the world over
have lessened demand, and stocks
have accumulated and buyers are
waiting for the anticipated drop
in prices. They know that prices
of raw materials have dropped
and they can see no good reason
why the prices Of manufactured
articles should not drop as well

GET MORE BUTTER

Mrs. Hattie Niece of Glenn,
Missouri, says: "I was not MAX
ing enough butter from my cows
milk production for a family of
two. After using DR.. LeGear's
Stock Powders a short time, she
gave half gallon more milk a
day, and pound of butter a day."
DR.. LeGear's Stock Powders
give to milk cows just what is
needed to keep the digestive or
gans in proper condition, so that
they get the most possible good
from their feed. Give equally
wonderful results when used for
horses, hogs, and sheep, because
they are a tonic, appetizer and
worm expeller.

of South Carfolina and Texas de-
cline to back him up.
There is no doubht but what
the price of cotton is below the
cost of production, but there is
no need of legislation to restrict
acreage. That will adjust itself
automatically. There is the same
defect in laws regulating prices
that there is in combinations for
the purpose. If they are econom-
ically wrong they are to be evaded
or to prove unenforcible. If there
are conspiracies to reduce the
price of cotton they are as obnox-
ious and harmful as conspiracies
to raise the price of cotton by
compelling restrictions upon its
production.
The National Board Of Farm
organizations does not think that
the grain markets are free and
fair, and is preparing petition
to congress to abolish trading in
grain on the stock exchanges, be-
cause the spectators fix the
prices without producing the
grain. If the spectators are
right they may perform a public
service. If they are wrong they
are punished by their losses.
Months ago Representative Full
Ter introduced a bill proposing
that prices of commodities be
regulated by a commission. The
idea is too absurd for considera-
tion. Senator Smith announces
that he will introduce bill to
deprive the Federal Reserve Of
the power to initiate bank credits
for the benefit Of agriculturalists
and the injury Of consumers.
We heartily favor every pro-
lection to the producer.

FARMERS FIXING PRICES.

:
In the cotton producing states
planters are curtailing acreage in
order to keep up prices. The
president of the American Cotton
Exchange has telegraphed to the
governors Of fourteen cotton-pro-
ducing states proposing a special
session of the legislatures to fix
the price of cotton. The method
proposed is to penalize those who
plant more acres than the agreed
average and tax exemptions for
those who decrease their average.
Farmers are holding mass meet
ings in support Of the idea and
some governors are predisposed
q favor such action. The govern
or Of Louisiana has appealed to

The news of the conviction and
entence. of Alfredo Cocchi to 27
years Imprisonment for the mur-
der of 18-year old Ruth Cruger in
New York City in February, 1917,
calls to mind the revolving crime
-ommitted by the Italian, and
which aroused much interest
throughout America at that time.
Miss Cruger, school girl, went
to Cocchi's bicycle repair shop
to have her skates sharpened and
was never seen alive again, and
it was not until six months later
that her body was discovered in a
pit in the cellar of Cocchi's shop.
Cocchi had fed to Italy, where he
was arrested in the summer and
some weeks later confessed the
crime. The Italian law provides
a penalty of from twenty years to
life Imprisonment for murder, but
no death penalty, and in giving a
verdict of twenty-seven years it is
about all that could be expected;
yet the sentiment of the Ameri-
can people seems to point to life
Imprisonment as nothing short of
his just deserts.
