 The cotton crop of 1919 was ginne7 in 178 counties. of which sos ginned less than 5000 bales each.
 From the year 1900 to the outbreak of the great war in 1911 the numhaf of cotton spindles has increased at the rate of about 3,000,0Q0 every year.
 Since 1911 the number of cotton snindles fit for use has been reduced from total of 54,ao0.000 to total of 9,00Q,00o, q decrease of 1G,ooQ.ooa during the six years.
 In the United States there are 6 counties which have more than 100000 cotton spiudIes each.
 Bristol County. Mass, with : .G32,0Q3 cotton spindIes. leads all othel coun- ties in the total number.
 Rough Peruvian cotton is used to some extent for mixing with wool m the making of wool textiles, especially imitation woolens.
 Chinese and Indian cotton are used to a very limited extent for mixing with American upland cotton in the manufacture of the cheaper grades of goods.
 Nearly all of the cotton consumed in the United States is domestic upland cotton.
 The term "upland' is applied to all cotton produced in this country except sea island cotton, and includes the long-staple upland varieties.

With difficulty he obtained 3 train for the refuces and had reached the border line where the hatred between Poles and Germans was particularly bitter.
 A mob collected as the train pulled in. Each ear bore an American flag. The crowd grew vicious. threatening to massacre the whole group of pris oners.
 Here is where the captain, the American flag, the nerve and the bluff come in.
 Taking a Polish interpreter with him, and carrying little American flag in one hand and his revolver Tn the other, he proceeded to tell the Polish leader something.

That means not only that America will shut off all the food supplies shes been sending you here in Poland, bu; it means that she'll send an army tC avenee this act.
