The Uhtted States railroad labor 'beard on Saturday in effect, forbade railroad union labor from striking without the board's permission and declared that all strikers who had violated the order would be classed as "outlaws" who had voluntarily removed themselves from the protection of the transportation act." ? Tli? American Cotton association in annual convention at liirmingham, Abu, unanimously adopted a resolution urging- th^t the farmers of the south "do not in 1922 increase the Acreage planted in cotton in 1921."

This means that the south will be asked to do in 1922 as it did in 1921 and. if this be done, acreage of next year will be the some as 1 that of this, which was a decrease of 28.4 per cent, under that of 1020. ?The.nverage individual income in this country, which was $340 in 1910 ?and $354 in 1S13, rose to $586 in >1918, but by reason of depreciation in the purchasing power of the dollar t'was actually worth only $372 as compared with the income of 1913." Thus jjfwhilet- incomes increased two-thirds, the purchasing power of the dollar decreased more than one-third. A. great jincre^UjKV;ifydollnrs occurred in 191S c*iut not' a" corresponding incense in production, with resulting rise in ^prices. These are conclusions reach.ed by the National Bureau of Economic Research, an abstract of whose 'Ifindin,?* was made public last Thursday in advance of the allied report to die published in November. -The bureau was organized after the war to help to solve national problems. The directors include T. S. Adams of the treasury department: John R. Commons, University gof Wisconsin: John Frey. editor of the International Moulders' Journal, and Edwin F. Gay, .presidfiOt of the New York Evening ' Post. ? i? Marshal Foch, who is known as an invetriable pipe smoker, before boarding tSe Steamship Paris for his trip to Anjprica made sure that a sufficient amount of his favorite French tobacco was on board.

Soon after ho was taken off tho Paris at New York and had exchanged official courtesies with the 'members of the reception committee on the tug Vigilant he went inside the pilot .housp, lighted his small briar pipe and seemed perfectly at home. He emptied R as he approached Mattery Park and put it back in his pocket. Two hours later when comfortably established in his special train for the run to Washington the pipe was out again. -After dinner he followed the example of his guests and smoked a cigar but this finished, ihe pipe again came into view, only to disappear when: tfiu train pulled into t'nion station. Again at his hotel, the lest thing he did before going to bed was to ttake , ar\ fejv rtiore puffs. Dr. Paul Andre, his personal physician was right, ^hen he said: 'The Marshal loves "his pipe." ? No additional legal tender notes should be placed in circulation by the government at this time, according to an opinion expressed by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon in a letter to George M, Traylor, Atlanta capitalist, Sunday. Tp the communication which tftvas rolCnSed for publication tonight, the secretary declared that if the treasury were to issue flat money or 'place: money in circulation in excess of business requirements, unfortunate conditions would result. In a letter to President "Harding which was referred to Secretary Mellon. Mr. Traylor suggested among other things that additional legal tender notes be issued by |he government and that these notes pe offered to holders of government bonds at par. He made several recommendations for expansion of currency and assorted that be believed a maximum discount rate of 3 per cent, should apply to all federal reserve banks. Secretary Mellon staled that he opposed reduction of discount ;fates for federal reserve banks to 3 per cent, on the ground that activities "of the 'situations would be restiicted t? gofo.it the unl oose for which ihoy were organized. ? Payment of the soldiers bonus by the war profiteers was demanded in the -fftimte last Saturday night by Senator "Reed. of Missouri. Mr. Heed's speech brought to a dramatic close a day of'little accomplishment in the consideration of the pending compromise t;uc bill, to which fie had offered the bonus bill as an amendment. His amendment provided for the restoration of the excess profits tax. estimated to raise $450,000,000, to create a fund for the payment of the bonus. Threats of Republican, leaders to table Ihe proposal and thus cut. off debate were not carried out. Action on the amendment was deferred. "Restore the exeess profits." Mr. Reed demanded, "and take enough from the profiteers who grew fat on profits while the boys were dying on the battlefield and give the soldiers this adjusted compensation. That will not take one penny from the ordinary man nor bankrupt the government, as 1'resident Harding :.n I those who follow him seem to fear." Reed charged that in Harding's letter to Senator Fre linghuysen, of New Jersey, urging delay in th" passage of tin* bonus bill, the president took the position of the gentlemen who not only wish to postpone indefinitely its passage but to j kill the bonus." ? Florence, Ala.. October. L'S: Disposition of the nitrate plants and dam at Mfo&cle Shoals will be made from | a strictly business standpoint and no other Secretary Weeks told a large crowd that came here early today to greet him. "I came to Muscle Shoals." i said M> . \V< eks, "to get the facts in this great government project. I expect to spend the entire day with the cngi- J tteers. When I have asked all the ! question* 1 desire and have assembled all the data available I shall consider the , merits of the entire proposition from a business viewpoint and make my recommendation to congress speedily." Mr. Weeks told the people 1 that money is tighter than in the years just passed, and must be spent 1 with due regard to the exigences of the economic situation. lie left no. doubt in the minds of his hearers that some decision in regard to a I recommendation would be fortlicom- j ing shortly after his return to Washington. Secretary Weeks said lie would discuss with the engineers the feasibility of providing power for (icorgiu and the Carolinas in the emergency Mail exists in those states, <ine to low water. Request has been made for an auxiliary power I'niinir. lion with the government plant. Mr. Weeks indicated that such power might tie provided immediately if the plan proved feasible. ?

(She \|orhiltc (Inquirer. j Entered at the Postofflce at York, as Mall Matter of tin Seconi Class. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1921. Dispatches from Russi& are to the effect that the soviet government has 1 announced that it will recognize the : foreign indebtedness of the old Russian regime if the nations holding the ' claims for that indebtedness will give full and unqualified recognition to the Soviet government. The probability is : that this proposition will be accepted. ^ There is no question of the indecency of that 'affidavit that Congressman Blanton caused to be printed in the | Congressional Record recently. There ! is very little question either that Con1 gressman Blanton is a very disagree' able proposition, politically, especially j to the Republicans. But the facts are that Congressman Blanton is not responsible for the objectionable affidavit. He was only responsible for the publication of it. That the publication 1 made a stench is not surprising. After all. however, how could Blanton have shown up the things he sought to show 1 up without publishing the facts? It 1 took an affidavit like that to let the country know what kind of procedure and what kind of language were being used in the government printing office. That congressmen should become very wrathy was natural, but why they should turn their wrath [against B'anton instead of the things to which lie brought'their at- j | tent ion seems unreasonable. To be j sure the whole thing was a nasty afI fair; but somehow we are inclined to j think that congress ?cannot bo veVy .11.it well saiisueu Willi IIIU ui.-|iun%iv.. .V has sought to make of it. Tiie outstanding policy of the directors of American finance is to take care of all investments in shares, securities, etc., as they stood before the world war. There is undoubted disposition to not only sec to it that tlie 1 Income from past investments retains ' its former purchasing power; but that the purchasing power 1k> increased out | of the proceeds of the tremendous profits made during the war period. ! Deflation, for instance, operated, to ! benefit of previously invested capital, largely at the expense of commodities i that had not yet been liquidated. Agricultural products bore the largest proportion of the burden. There was too great an abundance of currency during the war, it is true, with the result that j the purchasing power of money was J lessened more than it should have ! been. J tut as between previously in; vested capital and present and future i production of commodities, present and | future production is entitled to more consideration than are pre-war investments. The policy of the Federal Re- j I serve system, which seeks to dis- ! criminate in favor of the/investments j of the past instead of the productive j labor of the future cannot fail to bring j j trouble. , Out'ook for Cotton. Although The Yorkville Enquirer has j very little hesitation about predicting higher prices for cotton goods during I the next year, probably the highest prices that have yet been known, it is! reluctant about making the same pre-, diction as to raw cotton, notwith- j standing the fact that it Ifrdicvcs that , if there ever was a time when raw cot- j ton was really worth forty cents a j pound, that time is now. We are persuaded that there is not enough raw rot ton in existence at the, present time to employ the spindles | during the next twelve months, and we i are inclined to believe that because of this shortage th< re must be a stoppage of many spindles, some for a part of j the time, some for all the time, and altogether this will probably equal a j stoppage of all the spindles of the country tor a mouth or two months. In times past, such n condition?tin >1 ivions shortauc ot inr supply m r.nr cotton has ;iIw.'iys led to a scramble, j which has necessarily resulted in hiKh- : er prices. Logically such a scramble is now due; hid it is not altogether sal'o to presume on it. Ity past experience spinners have ieirned that such scramliles don't pay. They have learned that since a shortage is inevitable and that ] otherwise somebody will have to be. hurl it is better to cooperate in such manner as to allow each spinner to share as nearly as possible alike. At the present time the spinners arc not showing any special anxiety about | cotton They are willinc to lniv till 1 they can pet at the prevailing: prices; but so long as they have on hand sufficient for a few weeks, they are making a show of indifference. It is anything to keep from disturbing the market, and in some cases the spinners who have a surplus are even willing to share with those who are short. And of course the gambling exchanges are being used for all they are worth. This is obviously the right policy for the spinner so long .as there is so much cotton in the hands of weak hold ers; But wnat is going io nuppen mici on cannot be predicted with ceVtainty. Since it is practically certain that th? spinners are going to lit.ve to curtail their output at some time during the year, if necessary .it will be better to do that now while there i? so much cotton in weaker hands than later when what remains of the crop will be in stronger lftnds. But of course, so long as cotton can be had at anything like the present prices, there is no probability of an actual shut down, because curtailment will be sufficient for the present. If it were not for the gambling exchanges, so-called "trading" in millions of hales of imaginary cotton, it would be impossible for the spinners to bold prices down in the present sitution; but these gambling exchanges are here and likely to remain, to the incalculable cost of the cotton producers. There are those who say that the policy of the spinners is nothing but just and right under the ^circumstances ?that of course they ire expected to buy cotton as cheaply as they can. Whether this is right or not it is the situation as it stands, and about the only way for the farmer to meet the situation to his own advantage is through the cooperative marketing associations, because it i$ quite obvious that if the raw product were under an intellcgient and firm control as is the manufactured -product, there would be a fairer adjustment of prices. % ? Following the successful robbery of an unprotected mail truck of cash ;in<i securities estimated to be worth $1,500,000 in New York the other day, the post office department has provided fifteen motor cycles to accompany mail, trucks. The motorcycles are equipped with side cars which will carry armed guards. The identity of the green automobile used by the robbers who made the big haul last week has been established and the secret service men claim to be on a hot trail of the men who committed the robbery. No definite information, however, has been given out. ? In aj recent suit in the Federal court in Charlotte, Hon. John Li. McLaurin was awarded a verdict of $53.000 against the Automatic Steam Carburetor company of Chicago. Mr. McLaurin had bought the rights of certain southeastern states from the company under the. representation that the automatic steam carburetor would increase the efficiency of an automobile at a saving of from 20 to 30 per cent in gas. In his complaint he set up that he had been grossly deceived and that the contrivance was a detriment rather than an aid to an .automobile engine. He claimed damages in the amount of $150,000. A motion for a new trial was denied and the case will go to the Federal court of appeals. MERE-MENTION.

Tho rain that began falling Sunday Tnorning is generally considered quite acceptable, for one thing because It will put the earth In better shape for fall plowing, and because for another thing, it will settle the thick coating of dust on recently worked yoads and permit the development of better surfacing. Schools of the nation are asked to co-operate In the memorial services for the "unknown dead" at Arlington, on Armistice day by a Washington committee of educators, headed by Milton Fairchild. The War Department, it was announced Saturday, has sent to this committee material from which a-report of the services can be prepared for distribution throughout the country for use in assembly halls of elementary and high schools. That is a very Important advertisement of the Peoples Bank and Trust Company today. It gives sensible and reliable information as to how to handle the boll weevil problem, from the standpoint of level-headed, business people, who back their judgment with their cash. This advertisement should be read carefully by every farmer over and over again, then elippfed and posted in a conspicuous place in the home. Supply people will also do well to read it. Information like this is worth something to everybody. Supervisor Brown Had everything set last Wednesday for the removal of the chaingang from near Rock Hill, to a point uear Black's mill, west of Yorkville; but with the wires bringing warnings of an approaching tropical storm, and a pretty stiff wind rising as though it were sure evidence of what was coming, the plans for Wednesday were canceled. Different farmers who had been engaged to assist in the removal work, concurred in the belief that it would he unwise to make the attempt at that time, with the strong probability of the chaingang establishment being subjected without protection to what might be an Indefinite 1 siege of bad weather, and the removal I m-oo tint- ,,ff tn n hetter** time. It is | hoped that the transfer will be comI pleted during the present week. By way of illustrating, in ore of his ! sermons the other day, what he meant 1 by men continuing to live in the ! spirit. Rev. \V. H. Stevenson speci! fit ally mentioned two formerly well ] known characters of the Xeely's Creek neighborhood. Mr. Stevenson was once pastor of Xeely's Creek. I Roth tlie men referred to had died before lie came into the neighborhood. The in"n were David Lesslie and , John Royd. "I never saw -either of I these men," said Mr. Stevenson. "They were dead many years before 1 ; went into that neighborhood; but I saw their influence among tho peoj pie, their spiritual characters, and so familiar did 1 become with them, that T sincerely believe that if I should lie thrown in association with either of them in the flesh I would recognize him." Mr. Stevenson's remarkable declaration probably meant very little to people who were not acquainted j with the men referred to; but it will be wonderfully real to Xeely's Creek ! people and to Rock Hill people over I fifty years of age who knew these I men in life. . ? -- THfc. lYIAKHIAUt ncuvnu?

Five other diseases have heavier death tolls. The reason medical men consider cancer the deadliest disease Is because science knows next to nothing about it. Progress is slow, though Dr. Franz Kopsck, German scientist, recently has made startling discoveries whtchr~he claims, prove that cancer is transmitted from larvae of the earth, carried by angle worms. This may prove to be a red-letter discovery, but development toward a cure or preventive is bouncl to be slow. Meantime, we must increase 6ur vigilance. Cancer is with i:s all the time, eating steadily into the human race, as it eats steadily into the individual. Dr. William T. Mayo calls, it "the arch enemy of middle life ar.d beyoud.' The week beginning October 30 is National Cancer Week. During that week, medical srienc^says the public should write these four facts down in their l^ains with ipdelible pencil One: Cancer, if discovered in its very early stages, is curable. Two: Cancer is not contagious. Three: Cancer is i?ot hereditary. Four: Cancpr is nearly always due to chronic irritation. Thirty per cent, of cancers are in the stomach, the result of irritation. Ke?p your general health good. Have a competent doctor examine ypu periodically. Danger of cancer then will be remote.
