a private bureau report on condition
of 40 per cent of a normal crop, in
dicating a yield of only 6,241, 900 bales.

close of yesterday, October dropped
off to 1916
A more careful examination Of the
private bureau condition figures and
further reports from many points in
the interior that picking was being
wound up quite rapidly in important
sections, helped the market toward the
middle of the day, but after recoveries

FORD WOULD BUY
MUSCLE SHOALS PLANT

Washington, July 16.-Secretary
of War Weeks today ordered thor
ough study of Henry Ford's offer to
buy the Muscle Shoals nitrate pro-
ject and power site.
Until Mr.. Weeks gets complete re-
suits of the study he will make no
recommendation to congress, and it
is not probable either house will act
before Mr.. Weeks is heard from.
At present officials are undecided
about Mr.. Ford's offer. They say
they would like to get rid of the
Muscle Shoals project without abso-
:lutely scrapping the expensive plant:
Neither do they want to spend more
money to complete it.
1t is possible that Mr.. Ford may
be asked to revise his offer.

that the average life of an autonno-
bile is five years, and that, therefore,
each of these cars loses in value each
year two, hundred dollars, we shall
add sixty thousand dollars more to
the annual expenditure for this kind
Of pleasure.
Yes, when we come to pay taxes
it does look like we are paying a
alea: deal. Dut the future welfare of
this country depends on the amount
of these: taxes, and especially on the
amount we levy for schools; -civaiza-
tion itself. depends on this. AS long
as we spend such large amounts for
other things which are not necessary,
and until these schools cost US more
than our annual chewing gum bill, or
as much as the salt which goes into
the bread which we eat daily, let US
be fair with ourselves and acknowl-
edge that it is not the amount of
taxes, but the expenditures we are
making for things that are unneces-
ssartyy in life and which after all are
selfish expenditures, which make up
our burdens.
