FREIGHT RIDERS

Officers on Alert to Catch
Thieves Who Rob
Cars
MANY ROBBERIES
RECENTLY REPORTED

The frequent robberies Of freight
cars recently has caused extra vigi-
lance on the part of the special off,
GERS both on the Pennsylvania and
Baltimore Railroads. These thieves
jump on moving trains when slow
ing up at crossings, or before starting
ride until the train stops, hastily
break the seals on cars and throw
out a quantity of freight of such
character as may be easily disposed
Of. They frequently make substan-
tial hauls and escape with the loot
before the loss is discovered.
Saturday night Special officer
Neville, of the B. & o. Railroad ar
rested at Elsmere. John Fassilo, aged
21 years. and John White. aged 20
years. both of Baltimore. Last night
he arrested Benjamin Marcolis, aged
"a years, of Philadelphia. In each
d,ase the seals on the cars had been
broken but until the trains reach
their destination it will not be
known whether any freight is miss
ing.
The three men were arraigned be-
fore Magistrate Stradley this morn
ing and given thirty days each in the
New Castle County Workhouse, on
charges of trespassing.

rhe worlds COTTON SUNNY

There are those who imagine that
the correction of our present troubles
lies in the Immediate re-establish-
ment of our export trade by sub
corporate or governmental character.
The worlds supply of cotton for the
year 1920-1921, is presumed to be
25,624,O00 bales. The worlds con-
sumption as of July 81, 1921, is es-
t1mated to be 15,757,292 bales. The
Will therefore approximate 9,S66,70S
blaes. Our normal exports of cot
ton are 9,250,000 bales. In 1920 we
shipped abroad 6,350,000 bales. In
pre-war times Germany took 1900,
600 bales a year; in 1920, $4,000
United States government figure that
Germany can probably use 100000
blaes in 1921. Does that alluring
market for cotton aborad really eX-
list? Could we, with the facilities at
our command properly co-ordinated,
find market in Europe for all the
surplus cotton in this country?
doubt it very seriously, and 1 think
those who are building their hopes
on the solution of the problem in
the manner indicated are like the
man who built his house upon the
sands.
Then we must not lose sight of the
exchange situation. This has i'm
proved a good deal recently and there
are prospects of further improve
ment, but we should face the facts
as they are and realize just what a
dollar wilt buy. The English pound,
at par worth $4.S6 1-2, is now worth
about $3.50 of our money. One dollar
of United States money will buy
$1.25 worth of English money. We
discount the Englishman's money 21.7
per cent when he endeavors to trade
with US; the Frenchman's money 62.7
per Cal: the Belgian's money Gil
per o. the Germans money 93.3
per cent; the Italians money S1.4
per cent. How enthusiastic would
the average American be in trading
with his fellow countryman or the
average foreigner if his dollar would
only buy so cents worth of goods?
What must be the position naturally
of those whose money is discounted
from 81 to SO per cent? They will
minimize their trade with US as COM
pletely as circumstances will permit.
I do not presume to know how to
overcome the handicap which the
present exchange situation is exert
ing upon our exports and upon the
dumping of goods produced by ma
lions and peoples whose standards Of
living and monetary values are far

Vt was night when Tony arrived

conscious of the desire that his moth

and without stopping to get dinner,
he jumped into a taxi, gave the adj

stopping before a three-story brown
stone house in the West Seventies.
He bounded up the steps, greeted
cheerily the elderly man who opened
the door to his ring, and the next
minute was shaking hands with A

Mrs Hartman lifted her delicately
penciled brows inquiringly. She was
extremely we'll ordered in all her

sion. Anything he did was perfect. A
little smile of understanding lifted
the corners of her straight, rather
thin lips now, as stopping only to
give the order for Tony's tray. she
followed the two men upstairs TO the
library. which was OH the next floor.

think that potash can often be used
to advantage on our Georgia lands,
but in this case I believe 1 would
prefer to have the additional nitrogen
to the potash when prices are con-
sldered. Of course, potash is still
relatively expensive as compared
with MANY other materials
The German potash is not likely
to contain any material which is del

Spacing or Distance of Cotton
l.. w. G., Fort Valley, Ga,
writes: At what distance apart
do you advise planting cotton?
What do you think of leaving
cotton as planted by the planter
with no thinning?
We have made a good many tests
to determine in so far as practica BILE
the best distance at which to plant
cotton. These tests indicate that the
rows should be from 4 to feet apart,
depending on the richness of the
land. Our best yields have come
from leaving two plants, spaced at
distances of from 10 to "a inches
apart in the drills. The distance of
spacing WILL of course, be influenced
by the richness of the land. The
richer the land the wider the rows
should be and the greater the dis
lance between the plants. We have
obtained larger yields from leaving
two plants in the hill than from one
We are not certain that the boil
weevil will not change our conclusion
relative to this matter, but the in
festation in this section of the state
has been so light up to the present
time as to render our observation
along this line of very little value as
yet.
We do not believe that you will
find it profitable or desirable to plant
cotton in say or 5 foot rows and
then let the plants stand without
thinning. Under boil weevil condi-
tions we are sure that the best prac-
tice is to force the cotton along as
