JAPAN BUYING
COTTON MILLS
Two Large Concerns In
Philadelphia Sell Out.
T. Third Is Considering.
SALES DUE TO LABOR

Hired Won't Work,
Is Claim.
SALES DUE TO LABOR

Philadelphia, March 2S.-Japa-
nese interests for some time have
been purchasing the machinery of
Philadelphia cotton spinning mills
for shipment to the Mikado's en-
pire. One firm last week suspended
operations and shipped the last of
its machinery to Kobe, Japan; an
other sold all its equipment, a third
Is considering several offers, and
others have been approached. Fur
thermore, it Is reported, the Japa-
pese are carrying on similar nego-
tiations in other parts Of the Unit
ed States.
The explanation Of the japanese
activity in the market here was
given today by the first of the
above mentioned firms. One of its
officials said Japanese financial men
had considerable sums of wartime
profits to invest and were planning
to build up their Industrial life, con-
centrating for the present on cot
ton spinning.
Sale Due to Labor Trouble.
One reason for the sale by this
particular firm, the Ontario Spin
ming Company, was its trouble with
organized labor.
I'VE have closed our plant and
have quit the business" said an Of
ficial. This week we completed
the shipment of our equipment to
Japan. Organized labor has made
1t impossible for us to continue to
operate. We have great difficulty
In getting men and when we do get
them they wont work. In Japan
labor costs about 80 cents a day.
Il see no particular reason why
japan should make such extensive
preparations to build up it's cotton
spinning industry. Labor there is
very cheap. but all OF the raw ma
terial will have to come either from
America or India. The machinery
they have bought in Philadelphia
and other cities in this country
VIII enable them to go right ahead
as soon as it reaches their country.
II the making of it were to start
now the machinery would not be
completed for several years"
The Ontario Spinning Company
operated about 5000 spindIes.
The other firm which has sold all
OF its equipment to Japanese inter-
ests Is the Argo Mills Company,
Gloucester City.
Others Won't Tell Plans.
Several other spinners. asked IL
they had considered the sale of
their equipment to japanese capi-
tai, gave varying replies. Some of
them said they looked with favor
on the offers made them, while 9TH
ers refuse to give any inkling Of
their intentions. None of them said
they had been overlooked by the
foreign investors in their extensive
survey Of the mills In the city,.

ington Herald.
London. March 2S.-Visiting Amer
lean business men are much struck
with England's present trade effort.
They compare to the great disad-
vantage of the United States, the
business conditions of the two coun-
tries. While America, they declare,
is sitting back in a sort of self-sat-
isfied manner over the relative posi-
tion of the pound sterling and the
dollar. England is getting the bLgi-
ness. Especially, they say, does this
apply to foreign trade.
George J. Whelan, of New York,
president of the United Cigar Stores
Company, who recently arrived here
TO investigate the question Of 90
bacco monopolics, feels very strong
ly that the United States is being
left behind in the race for foreign
trade. Other important American
business share his fears. 1t my re-
quest Whelan gave his views:
England Building Up.
England is building up her eX-
port trade on sound, permanent
lines, whereas the United States Is
not" he warned. London is again
becoming the headquarters and nat
ural market for export business.
Here they encourage you in every
way possible to develop exports
which at home short-sighted
policy hampers.
so strongly do I feel about this
that / am considering changing all
of our companies doing a foreign
business into English concerns. II
necessary, we must lose temporar-
lily, in order TO build up a perma-
nent and growing foreign trade.
Washington claims to have q
fund to help build our foreign
trade. So far as l can discover. il
is doled out only to finance food
and other necessities, and then only
on terms that can be got anywhere.
Here they finance you quickly
for foreign business. and are ready
to lose money at the start in the
prospect of the future. Unless
something drastic is done quickly,
the expert business of the United
States never will be successful.
There is little doubt that busi-
ness here is going ahead in the
most encouraging manner. and
should it be possible for England to
get through 1920 without serious
strikes, the results of her trading
will surprise the world"

Farm Bureau Notes
By Sam Jordan
Big Day SATURDAY

Saturday is Farm Bureau Day.
1t has been thought well to make
it an all.day meeting as we can
not get through with the busi-
ness we have in half a day. I
have a matter that | desire to
present to the membership that
| think of very great interest to
the county as a whole, and we
have the meeting begin at l0:30
for this purpose. If the memb-
ership think we'll Of the matter
committees will be appointed to
work out details.
1t is to be hoped that farmers
from all over the county will be
present for this session whether
they are bureau members or not.
A fried chicken dinner is prom
ised by our new hotel man and
this should be an inducement to
you to come.
The organization will take
place in the afternoon. No
states" for officers have been
made up and will not be. We
want each one to have a voice
that is all his own and we want
the best man we can secure for
all the places.
Ladies should come also as they
should be just as vitalIy inter-
ested as are the men.
Membership in the bureau will
beyond much doubt include the
family" and no doubt there
are matters that should come up
that should require a committee
of ladies.
Our corn should all be in by
that time, or we hope at least
that the weather will let US get
that job out of the way. As it
now looks there will be no better
time for the meeting and it is
sincerely hoped that we will
take the time to get this work
in action.
Also at the forenoon meeting
we should be able to announce
definite arrangements with ref
erence to the wool pool. Every
man who has consigned wool
should attend if possible.
We hope that nothing may
interfere with a big attendance.
am expecting two speakers
from Columbia and the day
should be of great Importance.

FINE CORN CROP
Wheat Crop Headed Also Oats
Alfalfa Being Harvested
Still Flowing

The corn stand over the coun-
ty was never better and there is
a much larger acreage than has
been supposed. Quite a lot has
been cultivated and some ploWed
the second time. Many farmers
are still breaking ground for
corn and will plant for some days
yet.
Wheat and oats are nearly all
headed out and the heads are
fine tho somewhat short. Har.
vesting will be on in ten days
at most and since the rate for
harvest hands will be about
what is offered in Kansas, many
will prefer to work at home and
save the expense Of the trip.
Much more alfalfa has been cut
than many supposed was in the
county and not half of the first
cutting is thru with yet. Clover
was never finer and will soon be
ready for the mower and timo-
thy, tho not so heavy nor a very
great acreage, will be a big crop.
Small fruits are abundant and
since sugar is so high, preserv-
ing is not so extensive but little
appears to be going to waste.
