WHO GETS THE PROFITS?
THE FARMER? NO

Two very interesting items relat-
ing TO the cotton situation were re-
ported in yesterdays issue of the
Telegram through the Associated
Press. Neither of them tends to
brighten the outlook for the cotton
growers especially. but they NAV
shed some light upon the situation
that in time will lead to the working
out of a market system to make the
production of cotton profitable. Here
are the Associated Press dispatches
IN mind, one lifted from the news
column and the other from the market
page:
Lewiston, Maine. Dec. 80
a stock dividend of 100 per cent
was authorized by the stock
holders of the Androscoggin
Cotton Mills at a meeting here
today. The action increased
capitalization to $4,000, 600.
New Orleans, La, Dec. 30
While there were periods of ad-
vancing prices, the trend of
cotton today was toward lower
levels, in a very moderate way.

cotton grower, for because Of Just
such contrasts as presented above he
has not been able TO own his own
home or give his children the educa-

should have.

Per cent dividend on his land and

From The Remotest
Parts of The Globe
Elements Come From Many
Lands Far Away From
Here

The ingredients from which the
celebrated medicine Tanlac is made,
come from remote sections of the
earth, and are transported thousands
of miles over land and sea to the
great Tanlac Laboratories at Dayton,
Ohio. and Walkerville, Canada.
Russian-Asia, Brazil, West Indies,
Rocky Mountains. Asia Minor. Persia.
India, Mexico Columbia and Peru are
among the far away points from
which the principal properties of this
remarkable preparation are obtained.
What is said to be the largest
pharmaceutical laboratory in the
United States has been completed at
Dayton. Ohio, for the manufacture
of Tanlac which, according 20 recent
reports, is now having the largest
sale Of any medicine of IS kind in the
world; over 100000 600 bott es having
been sold in six years.
The new plant occupies $4,000
square feet of floor space and has a
daily capacity of $4,000 bottles. Uni
form quality is guaranteed by a ser
les of careful inspections by expert
chemists from the time the roots,
herbs. bark and flowers are received
in their rough state from all parts of
the globe until their medicinal prop
critics have been extracted by the
most approved processes. The finish
ed medicine is then bottled, labeled
and shipped out to tens of thousands
of druggists throughout the United
States and Canada to supply a de-
mand never before equalled by this,
any other medicine.

INSURE THEM TO MARRY.

As if the collection of damages
from Germany were not enough to
worry about poor France is much
fperturbd owe the question of prOmOt-
ing marriage and thus insuring
against a decline in the population.
Two problems relating TO this subject
are 10Y being considered by the gov
eminent. One has to do with insur-
'ance against spinSterhOOd, the other
with tightening the obligations of
matrOnS.
The first o. these questions has de-
lvelOped out Of the business being
done by a company which under
writes marriage risks On payment
of premiums which IN the case of
young girls do not amount to nor
than a few cents a day this concern
undertakes to insure maidens against
failure TO contract matrimony. If
they reach the age of 35 years with
out being married they are paid a
monthly income thereafter. which is
meant TO take the place Of the earning
power of a husband. The French gov
ernment fears there may be girls who
will prefer the insurance company's
money to a husband. and who on that
az / dCl4bCl blSJN tS(llI" Ild -
rage: and so il is rendering whether
it would not be we'll to suppress the
business
The other question has to do with a
proposal made n the Parliament to
strike from the civil code the law re-
curing wives to obey their husbands.
Whether this is planned as an added
lnducement to girls to marry is not
stated in the cable dispatch reporting
the news, out il Is said the married
senators are much agitated over the
proposal and are solidly opposing it,
while the bachelors Of the Chamber
favor it..
The tendency in the United States
undoubtedly is in the direction of re-
IEeving matrOns Of the Obligation to
obey. While it IS retained in the mar
rlage vow in most cases, out of re-
Spect for a time-hOnOred custom. it
is much to be questioned if any but
an almost negligible. minority of
American brides feel under any moral
cOmpulsiOn TO obey their husbands in
the n in which it was originally in
tended that they should. Requiring
a wife to obey implies that the hus-
band is the master and the wife an
inferior. But that is contrary to the
prevalent notion.
# the French girls are as high
spirited as their American sisters. the
French Parliament might Just as well
strike out of the rule of obedience for
wives will not be influenced by it,
but will consult their own wishes as
TO whether they shall obey or not

COLLEGE GRADUATES HAVE
A BETTER CHANCE

During the past few years, when
unskilled laborers were asking and
getting unheard-of wages, the col
lege graduate often asked himself
whether Or not it was really worth
while to spend several years in pre-
pairing for his life work when men
with no educational training and very
little practical apprenticeship were
in many cases making two dollars to
his one. However, the college man
really does have a better chance to
make good in life if the opinion of
business men is to be regarded as re-
liable. A series Of seven questions
was asked twenty-four representative
employers, to test their attitude to-
ward college trained men and women
and here are the questions with their
