THE NAVY'S TYPEWRITER
RIBBONS
Gin the interests of economy
Secretary Of the Navy Adams has
issued orders that no new type
writer ribbons be issued to Navy
Department personnel. Old ribbons
must be reinked. II is hoped a saw
ing Of $500 a year will result
News iten.)
Mr.. Charles Francis Adams,
Secretary OF the Navy.
washington. d. G.
Dear Nj. Adams:
The heart Of every rigid econom-
ist beats a little stronger, ! am sure,
after reading Of your decision to
adopt for the United States Navy
the slogan Longer lives for type
writer ribbonsl"
I understand that the way the
Navy Department has been squan-
dering typewriter ribbons IS scan
dalous. Reports that naval workers
think nothing OF putting In a new
ribbon the minute the in on the
old one gets dim have long been
current in Washington. This may
have been excuSable in boom times,
but ii has remained for you to put
a stop TO this wild extravaganza
and bring to the public mind a
realization OF what could be saved
each fiscal year II every man, wo-
man and child would have his or
her typewriter ribbons recondition-
ed and r~eserviced instead Of spend
ing fifty cents for a new one every
year o. so.
A lot OF people will say that $500
a year isn't much for the Navy
20 save IN typewriter ribbons. bu.
that much money put away at
compound interest for two or three
hundred years would build a battle
ship. In time the United States
could have q fleet representing the
money saved by reinking type
writer ribbons. 1t could be called
the Old Ribbon Flotilla.
I hope the War Department and
all the other washington bureaus
viii follow your lead. particularly
the State Department. If the Navy
Department can save $500 a year
by re-inking ribbons surely the
state Department. which consumes
several hundred miles Of ribbons a
day. could save many times that
sum. I suppose that after a steno-
grapher has typed some az those
hot state Department ultimarums
the ribbon is pretty well tattered
and torn. but there is nc reason why
ii should not be patched. mended
and made to serve in another crisis.
Writing notes on both sides Of
the paper Is a good thing i'm times
like these, too. and have You ever
thought OF sending short lead
pencils out TO be spliccd? A lot Of
money can be saved also BY having
rubber erasers retipped. biotters
! resurfaced and cracked glue pots
vulcanized. There is a company,
too. that will now take old and
battered drinking cups out Of waste
baskets. reshape them and make
them as good as new.
Well. anyhow II gives me new
faith In the United States Navy
when | realize its attitude toward
| typewriter ribbons and / feel that
the republic Is safe. Sincerely,
Elmer Twitchell.

John Shary's Cotton Control Plan

We imagine that the farmer of the south would be
the last person in the south to whom arguments would
have to be directed in favor of the cotton acreage control
plan advanced by John H.. Shary, president of the Texas
Citrus Fruit Growers Exchange.
Briefly, Mr.. Shary's scheme would have the banks of
the south loan the cotton farmer Tee per pound on one
third of his 1881 crop, said loans to be made not payable
for three years, unless action reached the price of 12l2c
per pound before the note became due. Interest to be
charged the farmer for the 8 year loan is named by Shary
al 8 per cent per year.
1t is a good plan for the farmer. He would be fool
ish not to take advantage of such a proposal. were there
any way of putting it into effect Immediately. Such q
plan would afford the farmer the opportunity he seldom
gets, that of holding his cotton for a higher price, with
somebody else footing the bill.
That the plan would result in a reduction in cotton
acreage for the next three years, we are convinced. The
farmer would not produce cotton to go on the market in
competition with the cotton he was holding for a higher
price.
has to be sold on the plan, no. indeed not.
1t is the banker of the south who must be sold on the
plan, and we are afraid he is going to prove awfully hard
selling.
To be sure, bankers. by the very nature of their call
ing, and due to the fact that there are relatively few banks
as compared to the number of farmers, have an opportun-
ity for organization and cooperation which is denied
farmers.
But to ask a banker to loan money at 8 per cent
presumes several things, none of which may be taken for
granted.
1t would be impossibly unfair to ask banks to loan
money on long term notes at 3 per cent. a percentage
which would barely cover the cost Of making the loan.
Possibly the federal reserve system could come to the
rescue Of southern banks and make it possible for them
to make such loans. Such a course would seem to be the
one way in which the plan advanced by the Valley man
could be put into action.
Nh. Shary controls one Of the leading banks Of the
upper Valley, and is undoubtedly familiar with the bank
ing frame of mind. Very evidently he would not have
advanced such a plan, the carrying out Of which is 50 en-
tirely dependent on banks, did he not believe that the
plan would receive at least a careful consideration from
his fellow bankers.
1t is up to the bankers. this plan Of Mr.. shary's, sell
them on the idea, and the plan is a success.

The seven of hearts is returned from dummy and trumped by declarer with the nine of diamonds.
 Declarer leads the six of diamonds, East discarding the four of hearts, dummy winning the trick with the eight of diamonds. The last heart from dummy is led and trumped by declarer with the ten of diamonds. A small spade is led to dummy's ace and the six of spades returned, which declarer wins with the king. Declarer's next lead is the eight of clubs East plays the deuce and dummy plays the three of clubs which West wins with the nine. All West can do is to cash his ace of clubs If he leads a heart or spade the declarer will dis card a club and ruff in dummy with the ace, granting his opponents the last club trick.
 By stripping the hand and leaving one trump in dummy, then throwing the lead. the de- cIarer has successfully made his contract of five diamonds scoring game and 100 for honors.

The Bidding


 South, the dealer, opened the contracting with one no trump. West passed. North went to four diamonds, showing his partner no desire to play the hand at no trump and purely pre-emtive bid with hopes of going gaem in dia- monds. This shuts out East's heart bid and South carries the contract to five diamonds.
 The Play
 Holding a suit headed by ace, king, the king is led to show the ace, therefore East opens with the king of hearts, which the declarer trumps with the four of diamonds. It looks to the declarer as though he must lose three club tricks, but with the proper split in diamonds. the. de- clarer will attempt to strip the hand land force club lead. One round of diamonds is taken, the declarer lead- ing the king. The next lead by de- clarer is a small spade which IS won in the dummy with the queen.
