BIC AMERICAN RUBBER PLAN
 PATTON


 The fascination which the strange lands of the Far East have held for the average American is taking on a more tangible form, now that travel and business are bringing Asia and the United States into closer con- tact.
 No article of commerce is doing more to bring this country into close touch with the mystic East than rub ber The rapid rise to supremacy in the production of crude rubber of the islands of the Indian Ocean, combined with the fact that America consumes nearly three quarters of all the rub Der grown there, has given many Americans an opportunity to peep be- hind the scenes and become acquaint- ed with the lands and peoples of that distant quarter of the globe.
 Although the whole equatorial belt in that section is dotted with rubber plantations, representing a capital in- vestment of nearly half a billion doI- lars, the thoughts of Americans nat urally center on Sumatra where one i of Americas greatest corporations has established a plantation so vast in area and so highly developed that it stands out as the greatest single plantation in the world This is the plantation of the United States Rub Der Company, comprising seventy square miles of growing trees, an en- terprise marked throughout by mag nitude and an efficiency worthy of the best American traditions
 By producing it's own rubber the company is in a position to establish uniformity in it's manufactured pro duct. especially United States tires, such as rubber manufacturers have long craved

MAN WANTS A MERRY LIFE

Professor Widal's directions, in his recent address before the French Academy of Sciences, to guide those whose ambition is to attain longevity are too humdr-um to win him fame He offered mankind no serum guar anteed to work miracles, no pellets warranted to repair over night the injuries done by years of reckless liv- ing. "Sobriety. light diet, consider able muscular exercise" his sensible formula, expressed in one way or an- other, has been before mankind's eyes ever since the wish for years took it's place among human aspirations.
 A merry life and long one. that is what men want. Most of them will sacrifice length for merriment and think the bargain good one until the final mundane accounting is at hand When the price of brevity must be paid the debtor is filled with regret, not for loss of years but for loss of pleasure.
 Mankind does not want sane coun- sel, the wisdom of which has been proved by experience. It looks for magic potion which without incon- veniencing the patient will sustain him in his dissipations, mild or violent and keep him in shape to repeat his excesses- The man who tells his feI- lows to be sensible will not be ac- claimed as is the charlatan who en- courages their folly.

THOUSANDS NEVER SAW COT.
 TON BOIL

The average Arkansas cotton plant CT, battling with the weather and the boil weevil, may see little that is picturesque or romantic in making a crop of cotton, but many thousands of people in this country have never seen a boil of cotton and have no idea of how it is raised, ginned and finally made into cloth.
 These people, however, are soon to be given an opportunity to see a typical cotton planter at work h. terested by the results attained by the American Cotton Association, an enterprising movie director and his camera man are making a film, which is to be shown in all parts of the country. depicting the planting and cultivation of crop, the ginning and baling of the staple. it's storage, etc., all the way from the field to the spin ner.
 Since the picture will show meth ods in use in every section where cot ton is raised, in the supposedly arid states of Arizona and New Mexico, for example, as well as the various processes of spinning, weaving and printing, it will doubtless prove inter- esting to Arkansas people, accustom- ed though they may be to cotton from their earliest days. Hence MT. D. C. Welty of Little Rock, general mana ger of the Arkansas DivisionRof the American Cotton Association. is nego- tiating for the use of the picture in Arkansas, and hopes to show it in every section of the state. Mr. Welty says he expects to secure the picture soon after it is completed. He, with MT. J. R. Alexander of. Scott, who is president of the Arkansas Division, and MT. B. C. Powell of Little Rock. yice-president of the national Associa- tion and member of the Executive Committee, was among the many cot ton men who posed for one>scene of the picture taken during the recent

activities are proportionally greater
In the smaller towns than IN the
cities. This was apparent, also, in
the October figures.
The statement that November. 1870
shows so per cent loss over NO
vember, 1919, can be accepted as re-
fiecting conditions whether one refers
to the money valuation or the volume
OF construction because construction
costs in November, 1919, and in No
vember OF this year were on the same
level, approximately. In comparison
OF November, 1920, with pre-war
years allowance must be made, or
course. for the greater purchasing
power Of the prc-war dollar.
The year 1920 opened with a slump
recovering in March and reaching it's
highest point in April. The fall from
the April peak was precipitate and
the general tendency has been down
ward since that month until. on
money valuation, the 1920 line Is
down, practically. to the six-year-
