world cotton production will return
| 10 the pre-war level, or whether ii
| will continue on the basis of the last
| five years average OF lS.000000 Much
depends, the department declared, on
weather conditions and the extent to
which the boil wCevil proves to be 4
limiting factor. From It's survey, the
department stated, it appeared on
August /, 1921, the carryOver of cot
ton w1S l4,l35, 600 bales; world cot
ton production for the 1921 crop was
15,197.000 bales: and the total supply
for the l921-22 season was 29,332,999
bales. Consumption from August l.,
1921, to March 81, 1922, was estimated
at 1A,f29,000 bales. leaving an indi-
Gated supply on April l of 14,903000
bales. Probable consumption from
April /. 1921 to July 81, 1922, was
estimated at 100000 bales and the
ca. ryovcr of cotton on July 81,
1922 at 100000 bales. Cotton con-
sumption, which the department con-
tinued, reached the high point of 22,-
100000 bales in 1914, declined
steadily to 1900, 900 bales in 1920-21.
Production was also reduced during
this period, the department said,
though not to such an extent rs con-
sumption and hence an accumulation
of cotton stocks resulted in an enor-
nous carryover on August !, 1921, Of
100000 bales. MANY believed" the
department said, that a new world
consumption level had been found,
some two or three million bales lower
than the pre-war lever of approx
mately 2f,000,000 bales per annum
The low consumption of more than
100000 bales for 1920-21 confirmed
this view, matter of great concern
to cotton growers, in view of the en-
ormous carryover and the knowledge
that single good cotton year would
make what looked like n bad situa-
ton worse. During the past eight
months cotton consumption has shown
a strong upturn, reaching this time
14,400.000 bales and Il prospective con-
sumption Of 21,00G.000 bales by the
end of the cotton year. This would
leave a carry0v"r of less TINA 100000
bales, thus getting cotton consump-
ton and carryover back to a pre-war
normal basis"

HWas it Drins, Father?"-The late
Archbishop Ireland of st. Paul, Min
nesota, in the course Of round of
the rural arish. found it necessary
at one place to ride with a country
drayman.
AS they were passing through a
small village, the archbishop pointed
TO q tiny frame Catholic Church and
said to his companion.
81 was the pastor of that church
thirty-two years ago."
The drayman had no idea of the
identity Of his distinguished guest, for
it was q raw day and the archbiship
had his topcoat buttoned high; the
driver turned and gazed at him Gu
riously. Then he asked sympatheti-
cally:
"And what caused your downfall,
father? Was II drink"
The archbiship used to tell this
story on himself, and with no little
glee-Everybody's Magazine.

SOLD AS JUNK
Old dynamite" Ship Was Once Hero
= of Navy.

The old navy dynamite" cruiser
';Vesuv:us" in Spanish war days hailed
as the possible pioneer craft of new
naval era for the world, has been sold
as junk to ]. Lipsitz, of Chelsea,
Mass, for $4,000. Like many other
naval craft which were expected to
sweep all battleships from the seas as
the Merrimac and Monitor wrote the
doom of wooden hulls, the dynamite
ship" failed utterly and was discarded.
The naval records of all countries are
full of such experimental craft.
The Vesuvius did see real work
In 1898 when the American fleet con-
centlated before Santiago De Cuba to
bottle up the trapped battle craft of
Spain, she steamed down to join the
grim ring of steel with three slanting,
slender muzzles of her dynamite guns
thrusting upward from the sweep of
her forward deck. From these queer
looking weapons, operating by COM
pressed air, huge projectiles loaded
with nitro -glycerine charges suffi-
cient, it was thought, to tear apart
any ship or fortifcation on which they
landed, were to be hurled. The ship
itself must be aimed at the target at
short range, however. as the guns
were immovable in the decks.
Wild conjectures filed the news
papers as to the terrible damage these
new engines of war would do to the
ships of Spain and the forts that
guarded the land locked harbor where
they lurked at bay. The nation wait
ed breathlessly for the test.
II. time the slim cruiser with her
trio Of dynamite" shooters arrived
and joined the fleet. AS n trial, she
was finally ordered in to hurl death
and destruction into the walls Of
Moro Castle on the high bluffs.
When, at the close range necessary
because of the low power of the air
guns, the Vesuvius finally "let CO."
q terrible roar came back from the
bluff. 1t shook earth and sea with
sound and sent frightened residents
of the city scmTying in fear to caves
and cellars.
But it proved only to be sound.
When Santiago fell and examination
was possible, it was found that no
damage had been done to TIC old, old
fcrts and the ancient bronze guns that
filled their embrasurcs.
The Vesuvius remained with the
fleet throughout the war doing patrol
and despatch boat duty. But imme-
diately after the war. in September,
1898, she was "dccommissioncd" never
again to be rated as 4 fighting ship.

asked.

WAR m CHINA
American Naval Attache Witnesses
Bloody Battle.

Commander Charles T. Hutchins,
American naval attache at the legation
returned TO Peking, Sunday from the
battlefield. The automobile he used
flew the American flag.
He reported that firing had not
ceased during the last SO hours. From
a hillside overlooking the Hun river
he witnessed the operations Of both
armies, with Chang Tso-Lins troops
holding the village of Changes Tien
and the WI Pei Flu forces two miles
southwark fighting desperately to ad-
vance.
Smoke from the cannon cnvelopcd
the hillsideS; shells were bursting in
the trenches; camelS were to be seen
transporting guns to various points
and refugees were observed running
from their homes. A vivid picture Of
the seriousness of the contest was OBJ
tained.
About 1000 dead or wounded were
observed by Commander Hutchins.
Both sides appeared to be shelling wide
areas. The relative positions of the
conIcnding forces did not seem to
have changed materially since the bat
tie began.
The opinion EXPIRE sSed by Comman
der Hutchihs is that WI Pei Fu's OBJ
ject is to push forward and capture
Pcking, with q view to controlling af-
fairs from the capital. Chang Tso-Lin,
in a declara ton, asserted that WI Pei
i'u was ambitious to become a Chinese
Napoleon. He declared that peace
would no; be possible until WI Pei Flu
was captured and held prisoner on
some island, like Napoleon.
When WI Pei Flu was captured,
Chang Tso-Lin, was willing to re-
sign and assist in abolishirg the
Chinese system of military dictators.

ENGINEER PREVENTS
WRECKING HIS TRAIN
Stops When Headlight Shows Tam.
pering With The Rails

An attempt Monday to wreck train
No. 5 of the Santa Fc Railroad. a
flier carrying mail and several Pull
man cars bound for Texas and Ok
lahoma, was reported by the crew
when the train reached Joliet, its
first stop.
The engineer was slowing down for
the station when he noticed several
figures apparently working over the
rails in the glare of the headlight
and stopped SO suddenly that passen-
gers were thrown from their seats
He reported that an investigation
disclosed that fourteen spikes had
been drawn and the fishplates torn
aside. One complete section of the
rail had been looscncd.
Railroad detectives who investiga-
ted expressed the belief that the
wrecking of the train was planned by
a gang of robbers who desired to get
at the contests of the express car.

The labor cost of producing the
crops of 1922 was still further re-
ducrd. There were some subs tantial
reductions in freight rates. Much
helpful Legislation has been enacted
and more will be this winter. Inter
est rates are lower and the credit
strain has been casCd This has made
it possible for many farmers who
were rather heavily involved to re-
fund their obligations and get them
selves in condition 20 win through.
There are still some dark spots.
In some sections weather conditions
were unfavorablc and crops were
short and farmers in these sections
arc having a very hard time of it.
Freight rates are still too high. es-
pccially for those who mu-, pay for
long haul to market.
Taxes are high. bu; this is largely
due to the increase in local taxes,
over which farmers themselves must
exercise control.
There has been gratifying growth
in farmers cooperative marketing as
Sociations, and more of them are be-
ing organized on sound business
basis.
Aside from the help which has been
given by legislation and by admins
tration activities, strong economic
forces are at work to restore a more
normal relation between agriculture
and other industries.
The peril in the agricultural de-
preston is more keenly realized by
other groups than ever before, and
on every hand sincere desire is be-
ing evidenced to do what can be
done safely to help the farmer bet
ter his condition.
Everything considered, we have
good reason to expect still better
things for agriculture in the year
1923.
