"Let us sing the praises of cotton J,
to the strains of music pumped a
through the organ by cotton bel- (i
lows.'' j]
The challenge is that of a writer i,
in the New York Sun. The "cotton p
bellows" is to stress the uses to
which cotton is put. Follow this *
writer. He is interesting even to the''
man In the South most Intimate with 1 (
cotton. i 1

Cotton today is "hard hit" by the
European war. Yet without cotton ^
there could be no war. Without cot- 0
ton not a modern gun could be fired, r
Cotton is the basin of high explosives t
and of cmokele8s powder. The
armor clad warship carries relative-^
ly more cotton than was used by the j
frigate of a century ago with all Its t
sails.
Cotton clothes the armies of the ?
world, and all the people of the :
world, from the polar region to the
tropics. A film of cotton cloth. |
across two poles. Is the shelter of the '(1
Hottentot. Cotton pads and warms1
the duck suit of the urtlc explorer. J
The comb you use Is celluloid J
?cotton treated with acids. There '
would be no useful celluloid things J
except for cotton. Cotton is the chief :
ingredient of the automobile. Those |
soft cushions are cotton felt cover- J
ed with more cotton that looks iike "
leather and you go bounding along n
on Inflated cotton tires treated with
rubber.
Without cotton there could be no n
great office buildings, for fireproof- r
Ing would be Impracticable. Besides c
it would be tPO expensive to get the 1
cement to the spot without the bags
that consume 180,000,000 yards of '
cotton cloth every year. 1
Light your pipe and think it over T
but as the smoke rolls up to the en- f
amelled ceilings remember that the 8
foundation of that enamel Is cotton
and that one single company
requires a million yards of cotton 1
cloth to shade tobacco plants growIng
in Cuba and Florida and 4.000.
000 yards of the little bags in which ^
that same tobacco goes to the consumer
.Cotton fattens cattle. When !!
the great American hog falls down
on his job of shortening hot biscuits '
cotton 1b ready to do the work more
cheaply and more delicately.
The railroads and trolley lines of
the United States use more than 250- N
000 bales of cotton a year for enameled
ceilings, plush chairs, leather
seats and airbrake hose. The automobile
consumes about 4 00.000 J
hales a year. Most of it goes into the
cotton duck, which Is the essential
feature of the tires, and the rest goes J
largely for leather cushions and
' '?rts.
The largest individual contract i
for cotton goods In the world is the ?
one placed annually by the greatest
of the harvester machine campanles.
It calls for millions of yards of cotton
duck, the consumption for the
entire harvesting machine industry
being estimated at above 50,000,000
yards of duck yearly.
In normal times the New York
market alone consumes 400,000
pounds of yarn weekly for the electrical
industry. It is necessary for
Insulation.
Cotton bags have displaced barrels
to a great extent. It takes about
15,000,000 yards of cotton duck
annually for coal bags for deliverintf-K
the coal where.a chute ennnot be employed.
Cotton duck is used extensively
for ventilating chutes in coal
mines, tarpaulins have replaced
other covers for flat cars, vans and
wagons.
In South Africa the cotton blanket
has driven out the woolen one. Fully
20,000,000 yards of cotton duck
> is consumed in the Canadian Northwest
annually for overcoats, replacing
fur. With a padding of cotton
between layers of duck, these garments
are lighter and warmer than
fur.
Cotton cloth has taken the place
of wall paper in thousands of modern
houses. Buckram, made of cotton
not only covers books, but 1s replacing
burlap. Pottery establishments
use millions of yards of army duck
annually for squeezing water out
nay. me government uses 4,000.- 1
000 yards of cotton duck every year
for coin bags.
It takes 2.000,000 yards of cotton
duck annually to make feed baps to
hanp over the noses of horsei. Duck
Is used for fllteilnR oils?millions
of yards if it every year.
It takes more than 50,000.000
yards every year of cotton ducking
for rubber belting and rubber hose.
The same substance is used 'or stiffening
the gauntlets of gloves'lTYITf"
leggings, tennis and gymnasium
shoes, canopies for shower baths,
where rubber formerly was used, the
covering of trucks and telescopes.
About 4.000,000 yards annually are
used for draining mines.
Wood pulp paper mills und other
paper mills use cotton duck for
driers. Cotton drills and duck to the
" extent of millions of yards annually
are ^^->rproof coats, fled mattresses
c^^jtton felt have replaced hair 1
mattresses very generally. Most of
tho household linen is cotton and '
mere ia more cotton tnnn linen In '
collars and shirts. All wool cloth- J
Ing la practically athing of the past.
Mercerized cotton la as beautiful as*^
