AN ODD CALENDAR
is NOW PROPOSED
THE SCHEME INCLUDES FRI
DAY FAILING ON THE 18TH
OF EACH MONTH.

Every month will have its Friday
the thirteenth" if the new calendar
evolved by scientists and heavily back.
ed bv Prof. Charles f. Marvin chief
of the United States weather bureau,
ever becomes a reality.
According to this scheme, which IS
designed to make all months OF equal
length and make the same day OF ev-
ery month come on the same day OF
the week. there will be Is months in
stead of II, each just four weeks long.
Every month will begin on Sunday,
and it is easy to see that IN that case
each 18th Of the month will come on
Friday. Instead OF there being only
about two such fateful dates in year,
as under the present way Of counting
time, there will be l3. Thirteen Fri
day the thirteenths."
Retain Leap Year.
There would be one day year lett
over in the new calendar. This would
be set aside, without any weekday
name, as a general New Year holiday.
Leap years there would be another
such excess day, which would be SIM
ilarly used as a midsummer holiday.
Aside from these changes the years
would wag along as usual and no one
would have to figure out on what day
Of the week any date would fall, nor
would folk paid by the month feel
rich in February and poor in July and
August 1t would help the statisticians
a lot
And yet, for all the scientific per
lection Of the scheme, the prospect OF
IS hoodoo days in year is enough
to daunt the average superstltious IN
divdual. If the new calendar can with
stand that handicap it should with
stand anything.
There are only rs eggs OF the great

COTTON CROP WORTH
BILLION AND A HALF
RETURN TO GROWERS MUCH
MORE EVEN AND BROADER
THAN LAST YEAR.

In an interesting review OF the cot
Ton market J. w. Jay & Co, OF New
York say:
while it is true the monetary re
turn to the cotton grower Of 10000
600 bale crop such as occurred last
wear at an average market price OF say
32c. represents a gross sum OF $1,000
100000. while 100000 bale yield
al an average price OF &c returns on
" 81. 500.GOO00O, the larger crop comes
as = result OF weather conditions ia
yorablc to a greater number OF plan
tiers and the return is therefore more
widely and more evenly distributed
to the advantage OF the greatest num-
Der.
From the merely selfish point OF
view OF the producer, therefore, the
excellent crop grown this season spells
prosperity in virtually all sections to a
degree not experienced for some time,
while from the standpoint OF the well
fare and prosperity OF the cotton con-
sumner it would be difficult to eXag-
perate the benefits flowing from an
ample supply OF raw material at rea-
sonable prices. Instead of the newt
able curtailment, such as faced do
mestic and foreign mills year ago at
this time, with idle machinery and
mill hands on part time, the outlook
for the coming season is for increased
production OF manufactured goods in
volume dependent only on the ability
of the public to consume.
ESTIMATING seasons probable
consumption OF cotton is at best a
guess. 1t is, however, automatic that
as the price falls or rises consumption
will increase or decrease and when
prices rise to undue heights many uses
for cotton cease. 1t is automatic that
the spinning value OF raw cotton va
ries from year to year, VIZ, lZ,oOO,OOu
bales of one years growth Will pro
duce as many yards OF cloth as l5,l5O,-
coo bales OF another years growth,
having g per cent less spinning values.
1t seems quite clear that this year
Weld, on account OF very favorable har-
vesting. season, is a high grade crop,
thereby increasing its spinning value,
which we believe to be about ) per
cent over that OF last years.
For this reason and because for
eign crops will exceed those OF last
year we place the consumption OF the
different countries about as follows:
America, 100000, Great Britain p
100000, France 100000, Germany 700
COO Russia 100000, Poland 10000,
Finland $4,000, Italy $4,000, Czecho-
Slovakia 100000, Austria 10000, Spain
275O00, Belgium 10000, Switzerland
10000, other countries 100000, Orient
100000"
