Whiskers tickle the back Of her neck.

his newly ironed handkerchief with
his tall silk hat sticking out OF his

Manufacture Cotton Here.

IRON the Toyah Texas Oil News comes the suggestion
that the bollworm quarantine west Texas cotton
entirely unjusted IN FL Paso countys easel may be
blessing disguise For If It is persisted in it may force
the southwest (west Texas New Mexico and ATizona) to
establish factories at home and manufacture for home
sumption and export the cotton that the Washington gov
eminent VIII not permit to be shipped
The problem Of the Laguna cotton from Mexico may be
solved by fumgaton Perhaps that may be required
Of cotton. But factories be established
IN FL Psso and elsewhere the southwest there would be
nothing TO prevent shipping in cotton from non-ouaranne
regions Of the United States to supplement the nate
rial supply produced home until such time the home
grown crop becomes heavy enough to supply extensive
mills.
There is no more promising field for cotton anufac
ture IN the United States than this The home market is
extensive and all Of Mexico is open to Us. We have an
abundant labor supply, Of type especially adaptable to
this branch Of industry for the Mezcans Of both are
particularly clever in work with fabrics, and easily
trained IN mechanical operations. We have the markets
while transportation facilities are excellent in all dec
tons.
There many things be made Of cotton yam be-
fabrics clothing all the bvproduct OF cot
ton growing and manufacture would find ready market IN
trade territory Such industry would have the
merit Of permanence, and It would have great possibilities
Of expansion The project worth looking into carefully
If the quarantine be abolished, much the better
But # not there IS no reason to despair.

SOME SHREWD JAP
MANEUVRES.

In a treaty regarding Japanese
Immigration, made some years ago,
1T was agreed that immigration
should be handled in such way
that families would not be separated
or. broken up in any way that could
be avoided. japanese diplomats in
sisted that son or daughter in
america might have the privilege
of sending for the Parents and having
them come to this country.
Strange to say, there was a queer
marriage law and custom in Japan
that gave the Japanese an unexpect-
ed advantage. In that country a mar
ried couple having no children can
adopt a son or daughter regardless
of the age of that person adopted.
And, under the Japanese law their
relations are the same as If they were
blood relatives in that sense. Japan
ese couples desiring to get into Amer
lea could send son or daughter
or not having any son or daughter
could adopt one, already in America
and come right on over. In either
case anybody tnat wanted to, could
get into America. Wives could come
over in the same way, If the hus-
bands were here; an unmarried jap
anese in America could adopt
wife in the old country and under
the agreement, she can come over
and join ner husband. Not much
more is needed to give them the
open door at our custom houses.
We claim that the Japs are clever.

SIMPLICITY AND
GREATNESS.

When ex-President Roosevelt was
planning his trip to Africa some eight
or nine years ago, he went by way
of London because transportation
lines led that way. He planned every
thing in advance for his trip, both
in generalities and down to the
smallest details. One of his arrange
ments was to have his supply Of pro-
visions packed in London. The people
lin that city to whom he assigned the
task OF provisioning the party were
accumst0med to fitting out expedi-
lions and, In arranging the menu
for an eminent gentleman like the
president of the United States, they
supposed Of course he would want an
abundant wine list, including much
champagne. When the list Of provis-
ions was sent to Mr.. Roosevelt, he
cancelled all the liquors and in their
places he wrote in just two items:

baked beans, canned tomatoes, real
foods and not stimulants or irritants.
And now as the holidays approach
and people are looking forward to
a good time and the means of pro-
noting good times. those who regret
the absence of fluids with kick and
drinks with punch, It might be
well to consider how delicious and
nourishing are baked beans and how
clear ones mind and how agile ones

amount Of canned tomatoes. Beans
are very fine nourishment and there
is nothing that beats canned toma-
toes for quenching * thirst. Put

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in the
League of Nations assembly over the
question Of isarmament-one OF
the fundamentals on which the
League was expected to be built
was intensified when Great Britain
and Belgium filed reservations to the
assemblys report on disarmament.
Both powers declared through
their delegates that they could not
see their way clear to bind their res
pectfve governments to limit arma-
ments.
Spain, in a reservation submitted
by her delegates fatty refused to
limit ornaments.
World disarmament has struck
more snags. Leon Bourgeois, repres-
enting France, notified the League Of
Nations that France could not COM
ply with the disarmament commit
tees recommendation that nations
should not exceed their present ar
mament budgets.
1T would be impractlcable for
France to do so until Germany full
fills the terms of the Versailles
treaty" said M. Bourgeois.
The disarmament report pointed
out further difficulties. 1t said that
as the United States lacks laws to
prevent private concerns from export
ing arms, other countries will be re-
fused to an agreement because it
would result in all such business 60
ing to the United States.
,Viscount Ishii head Of the Japan
ese delegation had previously warn
ed the League that Japan would not
reduce her ornaments SO long as the
United States continued to increase
her land and sea forces.

Governors Ask Con-
gress for Relief for
American Farmers

WASHINGTON.-The governor.
conference adopted the following
committee report, in the interest Of
the American farmer in his presen,
crisis, due to falling prices:
"All lines of business are realiz.
ing heavy losses, but the swift de.
cline Of prices of farm commodities
to far below the cost of production
threatens national disaster. The
situation demands infinite patience,
and forebearance and supreme wis
dom and courage. Nothing but evil
can result from anger and fear.
"Let every individual do all he can
to help and encourage his neighbor.
Let there be complete mobilization
of the financial and spiritual assets
of every community. There ought
to be united effort in every com
munity to keep any good man from
being destroyed, because he cannot
Immediately meet his obligations.
Business failures do more than
wreck business; they oft-times de-
stroy man. This is not the time for
a creditor to seize his debtor by the
throat and savagely say pay me
what thou owest.'
"Let the federal government
create a finance corporation Of some
sort that will enable the people of
other lands to obtain from us the
commodities they so greatly need,
but for which they are not able to
make immediate payment.
"The federal reserve board should
be urged and authorized to advise
all banks to adopt a liberal policy of
renewals. The real wealth of the
country is unimpaired. It would be
, suicide policy to destroy this
wealth by premptory call Of loans.
I'VE believe that the general adop-
ton by individuals and by the gov
srnment Of the policies herein sug-
sested would not only afford material
lid, but would lat once supplement
he gloom and fear of the present
With the confidence SO vital to whole
'ome and successful business"

PROSPERITY IS
PREDICTED BY
BUSINESS MEN
New York Authorities
Predict Beginning
of Better
Times

NEW YORK.-Now that New York
precedes London as barometer of
the business world, thorough sur
vey was made during the last week to
ascertain whether the trade barome-
ter is still falling or whether it is
rising. The conclusion of the inves-
tigators is that 1t is going up.
Business is rapidly working its
way back toward a stable basis and
with the completion of the inventor
les now being taken by wholesale,
manufacturing and jobbing concerns
during December and by retailers
during aJnuary, reliable authorities
predict that within the next eight
weeks a business boom will start and
that it will equal in proportions the
era of prosperity which began for
this country in 1915.
Placing Large Orders
Inquiries made in many lines of
business during the last week re-
vealed that the buyers Of large manu-
featuring concerns believe the raw
material market is now dragging the
bottom. These men are placing large
orders, and many reported that next
spring will see the reconstruction
period" ended.
Large manufacturers, the first to
feel the effects of credit defiation,
who subsequently made large cuts in
the prices Of their products, have
long been blaming the retail dealer
for his hesitancy to take quick loss
by closing out the remainder Of the
high priced goods on his shelves, but
with the fiocking of the public to
stores for their Christmas purchases
1t is expected that this holiday season
will see these goods sold and that
the producing market will again be
stimulated to supply the needs of the
country.
Moving Stock At Loss
Business experts also say the pre-
vailing low prices of manufactured
goods, foodstuffs and even raw ma
terials have caused much criticism
against retailers recently, but sur
vey of the stores revealed that
great deal Of merchandise is now
being sold at loss and that a real
epidemic of Christmas
buying has begun here.
They also claim the present credit
def1ation by the banks was necessi-
lated to great extent by the falling
exchange rates, which deprecated
