THE COTTON CROP IS
SMALLEST IN 20 YEARS
NOTWITHSTANDING 1T is THE
FOURTH MOST VALUABLE.
ESTIMATE o,o64,OOO BALES.

This years cotton production is the
smallest in twenty years, excepting
last seasons small crop, but, based
on December 1st farm prices, it is the
fourth most valuable ever grown with
an aggregate of $1,1346O8,356, not in
GLIDING the value OF Inter cotton and
cotton seed, which will total many mil
lions OF dollars more.
The crop this year is placed by the
department of agriculture III its final
estimate at 4,767 10000 pounds of
lint, which is equivalent to 9,964,000
bales of 500 pounds gross weight
(4784 pounds of lint and 21.6 pounds
of bagging and ties estimated per
bale.) This final estimate is smaller
by III 900 bales thar any of the gov

Acreage Was Large.
While there was large acreage i'll
cotton this year the boil weevil got in
its work with extremely heavy dam
age, and drought in many sections
materially assisted in keeping down
the production. South Carolina and
Georgia were hardest hit of any of the
cotton-g growing states, their produc-
ton being about 40 per cent of tee
average of the five years, 1916 to 1920.

MURDERS IN u. S.

% CITIES is o.3 PER 100000,
SAYS REPORT.

There were more murders i'll 1921
in the United States than ever before
and the rate is steadily increasing, &C
cording to statistics gathered by DR..
Frederick L, Hoffman, consulting sta
tistician of the Prudential Insurance
Company of America, and published in
the Spectator. DR.. Hoffman shows
that the rate for twenty-eight of the
largest cities of the country was 9.3
per 100000, as compared with 8.5 in
1920. New York city had record of
o., an increase of IL over the preced-
1.-THE murder record of 1921 is the
most appalling in the history OF the
twenty-eight cities for which the data
at the present time was available, "
states DIR. Hoffman. "The record
makes a glazing contrast to the pre-
dictions OF those who, in pre-prohibi-
ton times, assured the country OF the
salutary effects of the suppression OF
the liquor traffic upon the rate OF
homicidal frequency.
Death Penalty Has Little Effect.
Likewise, the infection of the death
penalty seems at best to have but a
slight effect as a deterrent to the hom-
cidal manias, which remain as the
greatest blot upon the civilization OF
the United States.
During 1921 in twenty-eight cities
with a total population OF 20,558,77O
there were 1910 cases of murder,
equivalent to a rate of 9.3 per 100000
of population. In 1920 the record stood
at 8.5 while during the five year period
ending with 1920 the average rate
stood at the same figures"
DR.. Hoffman showed that the muir
der rate in 1900 was 81 and that 1t
has been steadily increasing since. The
actual figures are much larger, he be
lieves, because statistics are poorly
kept.

100000 FUND
FROM GOTHAM BANKS
GREAT plum" is BEING CUT
UP FOR CHRISTMAS. FIVE
MILLION SHARE IN 1T

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The distribu-
ton of $19O,O00,O00, saved by Christ
mas club depositors under plan
which assures them of spending mon
ey for Christmas, has begun by
Christmas clubs operated in 5000
banking institutions throughout the
United States. This huge Christmas
fund is to be turned over to 100000
depositors, who joined the clubs with
the idea Of saving for spending.
The theory that thrift could be
taught by including the masses to save
for spending purposes was advanced
by Herbert F. Rawl in 1910, when he
founded the Christmas Club, Inc, and
immediately encountered almost solid
opposition on the part Of bankers to
whom the Rawl plan looked foolish
on its face.
Mr.. Rawl, president and treasurer of
the Christmas Club, Inc, says the
number OF depositors who have joined
the Christmas club and the amount
they have saved furnishes ample evil
dence of the truth of the old proverb,
"a penny saved is a penny earned. "
Mr.. Rawl thinks the all important
thing is to get people to save and the
ends towards which they are saving
will take care of themselves:
The size of this years Christmas
club distribution greatly exceeds the
most extravagant hopes.
The Staten Island Savings, bank,
Stapleton, S. l., is one of the first
banks in this district with Christ
mas club to announce the distribution
OF Christmas savings to depositors in
the club. Its announcement disclosed
that the club would play Santa Claus
to 5000 depositors. Among them will wi
be distributed checks averaging 500.
Tabulation by districts OF the pen
nv savings" to be distributed shows
that Pennsylvania Christmas club de-
positors saved the largest amount, ST.
856,74O, as compared with Massachu-,
setts, $17,S45,300, ranking second, and
New York $17,672,210.

GUM CHEWER ACQUITTED
OF NOISE MAKING CHARGE

CHICAGO, In-Phillip Brod-

so vehemently that people sitting

music, was today acquitted.
Miss Irene Kramer, who was sit

her protests.
The attorney for Brodsky, in
summing up for the defense, said
that plain or beer garden gum
chewing is considered a social grace
in Chicago, for it built Chicago's
most beautiful skyscraper. He de-
MED that Brodsky was an expert
in the art of cracking, stringing
and parking his gum, and also de-
MED that his client had socked Miss
Kramer in the beezer when she OBJ

ing.
