SUPPLY OF RAW

ENGLAND WORRY
Big Manufacturers Want Gov

Manchester. Eng, Feb. G.--14anca-
disturbed regarding the future supply
of raw cotton, that Il special meeting
of the chamber Of commerce was call
cd recently to consider "the serious
menace to the staple trade Of Ian
cashire which may arise in the event
of Americas inability to supply this
country's future demand for raw cot
ton"
The meeting also adopted resolu'
ton calling Oh the government to take
immediate steps to promote the grow.
ing of cotton within the British EN-.
pire.
Edwin Stockton. presiding, referred
to the pessimistic reports brought
back by delegates who had attended
the conference at. New Orleans, ant
said 1t, must, .be remembered, 1t any
thing occurred to interrupt materially
the supply Of raw cotton to Lanca-
shire. the business here would be
faced with possible ruin and the
whole country would suffer. The
speaker cited authoritative reports re-
Sarding Increased consumption IN
America and decreased production OF
cotton and said:
1T would seem that the growing
Of cotton within the Empire would
remain one of the most desirable OBJ
iects which our statesmen could fOs'
ter'
Sir William Barton. member of par
lament, proposed a resolution record.
ing a sense Of danger Of a future
shortage Of cotton and urging the
government to take steps without de-
lay to advance by every means i'll It's
power the growing Of cotton within
the empire. He thought Mesopotamia
the most hopeful spot to- meet the
needs of Lancashire. Egypt, he said
had increase its acreage by 80 per-
cent in the last 25 years but the total
crop had scarcely increased and he
expected very little help from India
T. Crook thought the money spent
in trying to grow British cotton had
been TO a large extent wasted and
that America was the most likely
place to increase the Lancashire cot
ton supply. Sir William Barton's
resolution was adopted
Since the meeting referred to in tho
foregoing. the British empire cotton
growing committee has recommended
that the British board of trade grant
| 10000 pounds for five years to tha
committee to promote the growth OF
cotton within the empire. The com
mittce stated that the British cottor
industry drew four-tifths Of its supple:
from the United States and said there
was evidence of a world shortage o.
cotton. Confidence was expressed by
the committee that if proper measures
we're taken it would be possible t.
grow within the empire "a very larg'
proportion of the cotton it requires.

CARS NECESSARY
ON VACATIONS


That automobile owners have been
using their cars to a greater extent
than ever before on vacations this
summer, is the observation Of Philip
G. Murphy. local distributor for the
Studebaker.
tThe old idea of leaving the car at
home when going on vacations and
depending upon railroads is passing
outg says Mr.. Murphy
"The change in attitude among
automobile owners is due to the fact
that they have a much larger appre-
citation of the convenience and relia-
bility of their cars, as well as the
greater number of uses to which they
can be devoted.
To-day, instead of hopping on a
railroad train, travelling to a summer
resort and lying around for the per-
iod of vacation, the motor car own
er uses his car every day while on his
vacation, making side trips of many
miles out of the place where he is
spending his vacation days.
During the summer, in this day
and age, the automobile Is used by
families to an unprecedented etxent
for weekend jaunts out into the
country, trips to the golf clubs and
on fishing and hunting expeditions

Raymond Z. Baker. director of the
United States mint gave out the

The increase last year was about
25 per cent over 1919. In 1916 lit
tie over million coins were produced.
Mr.. Baker recently returned from
the San Francisco mind where he is
preparing to install improved machin-
cry similar to that in the Philadel-

Mr.. Baker. 'the Philadelphia mint is
now not only the largest mint IN this
country but manufactures a larger
number of coins than any other mint
in the world"

the Federal Farm Loan System came
to be halted. For the past three years
interest rates of farm mortgages
were more nearly uniform at 5 1s and
4: per cent than they haver ever been
before in the history of our country.
But already, since this suit was
brought, interest rates have been rais-
ed by private money lenders and.
bankers from one to four per cent on
loans to farmers. 1t is becoming IN
creasingIy harder for farmers to pro-
vide themselves with capital in order
to raise food and other raw materials
for our people Many of them are
begging Congress and the farm loan
board to relieve the situation. Here
is part of a typical letter written by
farmer in Oregon under date Of
May 10, 1920:
"I understand there is sort of un-
easy feeling about the doings in court
about trying to discontinue the loan-
ing to farmers that need the assist
ance of loan such as the Federal
Loan System. / would ike to get a
loan on my farm to pay off the mort
gage that is on it now, and there are
several of my neighbors that also
would like to get a loan. 1t viii be
d real hardship on the already over
burdened farmer if Congress should
discontinue the farm loan system.
But Congress il far from that at
titude of mind Recognizing the ap-
peal of the farmers and the pressing
need OF our country for agricultural
products, Congress has just passed q
joint resolution. and the president
signed it on May 26th, authorizing
the secretary of the treasury to buy
federal farm loan bonds to provide
the funds for making loans approved
| by the banks up to March /. 1890
This act win probably provide be-
tween thirty and forty million dol.
lars. After that sum has been ex.
pended by the banks in meeting theil
own debt obligations and making
loans to the farmers whose needs arr
most urgent. the system viii simply
have to halt again until the decision
of the supreme court, unless some
other means of raising funds fol
lending to the farmers shall be pro
vided.
/ The ultimate effect of this lawsuit
then, cannot now be estimated. I

should be permanently halted. th'
credit conditions of farmers viii b,
what they were before Congress
/ passed the farm loan act. Witt
farmers having to pay higher inter
/ est rates, the cost Of raising farm

told the congregation that $50 me-

of Washington on the welfare and de-
velopment of his country that his
name shall never be forgotten"
In my opinion" Mr.. Clark con
tinued, che was the greatest mortal
that ever lived. The habits which
united to mould his character well
deserved analysis and emulation. Fru-
gality and thrift were his watch
words.
after all. Washington was only
a human being. He was known to
dance the Virginia reel. took an oc-
