KING COTTON DETHRONED

The farming districts Of America
that run to one crop frequently ex-
perience disaster. Drought or some
fpest may destroy the prospects of the
season, but sometimes a tragedy of
this kind may be a blessing in dis
guise. In an Alabama town the
farmers of the neighborhood have
erected bronze fountain in honor
of the cotton boil weevil. This bitter
and implaeable enemy of what was
once Americas foremost crop adm

cotton. If the crop was good and the
price high they made money, but this
combination almost never happened.
When the weevil got in, the crop was
spoiled and the planters starved-or
nearly so. Two or three successive
seasons of the weevil brought them
nigh to bankruptcy and finally few
Of them of revolutionary tendencies
began to give some thought to other
crops. They found that the soil, worn
out by successive years of cotton
planting, responded excellently to
certain grain and forage crops and
that there was money in vegetables.
They found, in fact, that diversified
farming was a real money-maker
while cotton planting smelt of tragedy
and loss. Therefore they have reared
this bronze memorial to the weevil-
this devastating pest that had driven
them into other aisles of agricultural
adventure. They can go back to cot

the weevil is absent; but they have

what it may, is one of the primary in.
stincts Of mankind. The Chinese
laborer with money in his pocket will
no longer go barefooted. He will see
and long for the things his neighbor
wears. He will have the money tC
satisfy his longing and therefore com
merce will result.
Now let US suppose that only one
half Of the people of China are bene
fitted by the new era that is dawning
What will that mean commercially ?
If the buying power of say 300,000,0 0(
Chinese is increased in the course OF
five years $40 per capita, that will
mean an increase in sales of goods to
China amounting to $4,000. 100000
Now while the United States will not
sell all Of these goods, it stands to
reason that a fair percentage of this
trade will come to this country. In
our strategic position, with we'll
developed transportation on the Paci-
fc, we should secure at least one
third Of any material increase, which
would mean that in China alone there
would be market for 81 coo 100000
worth of American goods.
That such an increase, or n goodly
fraction thereof, can be brought about
within the period stated, is entirely
within reason. The population is
there, the peaceful development of
the country is assured under the
Treaty of Washington and those who
have studied the commerciA and in
dustrial possibilities of China feel
that the figures quoted above are con-
servative.
Is it any wonder then that Captain
Robert Dollar, master ship owner and
world merchant, should, when address
sing the foreign trade convention at
San Francisco in 1920, say that in his
opinion the center of the worlds COM
merce would soon be on the Pacific
coast. Capt. Dollar is a student of
affairs on the west ocean. His ships
ply the great commerce lanes on all
the seas, but the Pacific is his special
field of study and effort.
And yet with all the great possibili-
ties that a great compact like the
treaty Of Washington promises, with

TRIUMPH OF ME DOYE

After a contest dragging through
1873 years the dove has supplanted
the eagle on the American dollar.
Benjamin Franklin opposed the adop-
ton of the eagle as a national EN-
blem when the first dollar were coin
ed. He argued that it was a bird Of
war and of grey and that the United
States were a confederation formed
in the interests of peace. He said
the eagle was neither a sociable bird
nor peacefully inclined, and that the
hen, typifying production, or the dove,
the bird of peace, should be used in
stead.
His position then received neither
sympathy nor support. The colonists
were eocky over the successful result
of their fight for freedom and were
inclined to strut about with chips on
their shoulders. Franklin was lam
pooned and ridiculed and the eagle re-
ceived place not only on the silver
dollar, but on the gold coinage as
well. They were ready to tell the
world that the new republic was in
the field to fight for it's rights.
When the Disarmament Conference
met, however, the old idea Of Fran
kiln was revived, with the result that
the Philadelphia mint coined in Dec
ember 856473 peace dollars from a
new die on which the eagle with
spread wings is replaced by dove
on d mountain top holding an olive
branch which is struck by the rays
of the sun. Under the dove appears
the word "Peace" 1t is the present
plan to coin 1OO,OOO,OOO of the new
peace dollars. The dove has trimphed
over the eagle and the old order
passes.

in revival or any other meeting a
mistake has been made, but "a pro-

GOWNING THE GIRLS

An international authority declares
that of all earth's races the American
woman wears her clothes best. She
may not necessarily have the best
clothes but wears them well and
smartly. She keeps herself clean and
neat and knows how to put the chic
in chicken. This is bit of a surprise
as most Americans themselves
thought the French girls had clever
and modish way about them that
could make a bingham gown look like
georgette. But the American woman
no longer looks to Paris for her de-
signs. She is able to dress with taste
on her own account.

Within the boundries Of what Il
known as China there are living toda!
some 600,000,000 people. In fact, on,
British statician has ventured to as
sert that the population Of China
probably nears 900,000000 souls.
Let us, however, accept the first
named figure as basis for our cal
culations. Sappose, and it altogether
possible, that the four-power treaty
which win be known in history as the
Treaty of Washington, is ratified by
the senate. What will be the results2
The first result will be a stabiliza-
ton of not only political, but com.
mercial relations. What will this
mean? 1t will mean that China will
enter upon an era Of development
such as no other nation ever before
witnessed. Capital from the four cor
ners of the globe will flow to their
virgin fields. Mines will be develop
ed, factories built, great areas of ag-
ricultural lands now lying dormant
will be put under cultivation, rail
roads will be built, canals and rivers
dl edged, and good roads will reach
from the centers of population in the
cities to the teeming outlands.
Can any prophet foresee what the
end of all this activity will be? First,
it will mean an immediate increase
in the per capita wealth Of every sec
ton of the country affected. Labor
in the cities will be put to work in
the mills and factories the labor not
thus employed will go to the mines;
The millions in the agricultural areas
for the first time will find that they
IAN raise larger crops and readily
market them because of the trans
facilities afforded. This
IRA of activity will shortly be felt
the entire country and as
he wealth of the individual increases

n the purchasing power Of the nation
Is a whole,
How, some cynic will ask, is this
yoing to affect the rest of the world
n general and America in particular?
This same cynic might go even far
her and ask how is this going to
ouch the Pacific coast? The answer
5 simple. The moment the wealth |
f the people of China increases, will |
he markets of the rest of the world |
e expanded.
A man, whether he be a Chinese or
n Icelander, is still a man. To trade

HAIRPIN TRAGEDY

1t is a pity that man cannot de-
wise some warrant for using or car
rying hairpins. If a wife finds a
strange hairpin in the husbands car
or discovers a nest of alien pins in her
home on returning from an extended
visit she Immediately becomes hys-
terically suspicious. If husbands
could wear hairpins to keep their
hats on or used the blamed things
to open ink bottles with it might save
lot of trouble and injustice. The
tailor who will have the courage to
design a vest trimmed with fancy
hairpins might head off lot of scam
dal AS it is a man, even though he
be as innocent as lamb, stands help
less and abashed in the presence of a
hairpin that doesn't patch wifie's set.
