/ am iiave - been employed in writing
papers and reports for the instruction
of delegates. Of intense interesl
to the American cotton planters wil]
be a report by W. H. Himbury, gen.
eral manager of the British Cottor
Growing association, whose capital
is. $2,000,000, subscribed largely bj
^Lancashire cotton manufacturers.
The Himbury organization employed
American cotto"n planters and
escperts from American agricultural
J* x ' colleges to show how to grow cottor
*, on the American plantation principle
in various British' colonies.
Lancashire has already benefittec
by l6o,000 bales of colony cotton
And the exnectations are to increase
this by 50 per cent this year.
It is estimated that in time A fries
and Mesopotamia can raise three bnc
a half million bales.
Short Workday.
Albert Thomas, a Frenchman, whe
is director of the International Laboi
s?> office under the League of Nations
will present a report on hours ol

j?> V show that the 48-hour week is almosl
universal in Europe, with the excep.
tion of Holland, where it is ^45 hours

l may work only 44 hours. Britain va
ries from 44 to 49 hour*, the Unitec
States^from 50 to 57.
For Good or Evil.
- "The coming conference,"" says Sii
Charles Macara the biggest man ir
the Urit'sh cotton business, "includes
riot only growers and manufacturers.
| i -. but the cotton exchange men, majL\
chinery makers and other subsidiary
interests, whose prosperity all de.
gj . ' pends upon the cotton industry.
The power of the conference for
r gjood or evil depends upon the manf
^ ner in which it is handled.
SL- "My nolicy always has been to live
I and let live and to want all interests
in the cotton industry to have their
remuneration for labor and enter1
prise. Legitimate middlemen are a
vital necessity. They perform a tremendous
jiervice in financing opera'
tiona."

T TAX REDUCTION
GREATEST NEED
SAYS WM. H. TAFT
' Government Economy rs Alio Highj
ly Important?Approves Fiscal
Reform Budget, But That j
In Only A Step.
J New Haven, Conn., May 31?The
;> man who in all probability will be
I the next chief justice of the United
! States regards governmental econ.'
11 rimy and reduction of taxation as the
;: greatest necessities in the administrajtion
of national affairs.
1 1
i I laid before William H. Taft in
- j his office room at the Hotel Taft,!
I :
lj twelve questions dealing with na-i
i tional and international problems and j
, | asked him to discuss them. He de.!
' clined, saying "It would be improper
I i for me to talk upon these matters at
! this time. The president has gone inr
| to them very fully in his recent ad
.: dress in New York."
J "But," I inquired, "do you agree
'{fully with all that President Harding
said, with all that he suggested A
:should be done?"
i
i . 'I will answer that, and thereby .
" touch in a measure on these other
' questions you've presented," he re. *
' plied. He stepped across the room to
' his desk and wrote what follows: I
' "I shared the pleasure which the i
2,000 auditors of the president had
| in listening to the strong words he j
I used in favor 01 economy in puojic
j expenditures >nd the adoption of
j methods by which it could be and
j would be, promoted." (In this res(
pect President Hording said : "There
must be a continuing effort to keep
expenses down to insure full value
for every dollar of the taxpayers'
money the government spends.")
j "They were especially cheered as
[ he was by the frankness with which
he faced the tremendous difficulties
which the problem of ending national
I extravagance presents, especially in
the resistance of politicians and lo
calities, and by his evidently sincere]
and considered determination to
> overcome all such resistance in the
public interest.
' "Only one who has had personal
^ experience in such matters can value
' to the full the importance of such
" a speech.
Approve* Fiscal Reform aiid Budget.
| "Qf course I cordially and emphatically
approve the policy of the presiI
dent in his proposed fiscal reform
and budget. (Pres:dent Harding said
| in this connection; "Establishment of
| a budget system is the foundation on
which reorganization must be based.'
1 "But, as the president himself
1 pointed out, the adoption of a budget
} <s only one step. The main reform
must be in cutting down appropria.
' tions in .many fields of expenditure
with a ruthless hand. The ilumbing
weight of taxation shown in the halt
of business, in the spread of unemV
ployment, and in the general depression,
requires this."
While advices from Washington
> are that President Harding has de'
finitely decided to send Taft's nomi
nation for the chief justiceship to the1
senate at an early date, Taft gives j
the impression that he will consider.
the appointment most seriously be J
fore acceptance.
Taking this post has been a grave
question with him even if, as has
been said, it would be the crowning
achievement of a life honored in
: many ways, including four years in
the White House.

TO GET RID OF FLEAS.
Clemson' College.?The entomology
division was asked recently by a
correspondent how to rid a place of
fleas. The following answer may be
of interest to many others, suggests
Prof. A. F. Conradi, chief of the
division.
"We have been successful in treat,
ing fleas by the following method.
First, if any cats and dogs are
about the place they funrsh the
best breeding ground to start flea
infestation. We make up a 3 percent
solution of creolin or chloro
naptholium or creso or zenoleum, or
any one of the other standard coal
tar~ disinfectants. This is easily
prepared by adding four tablespoonfuls
of the material to a gallon of
water or four teaspoonfuls to a
quart; of water. Give the dogs and
cats a bath in this material, in a
wash tub, rubbing their fur well
_ with the hands. After washing the
^ animal use the material that remains
and fully drench their bedding.
Then make a stronger solution At the
? rate 6f about one to 16 parts of
d water, and spray thoroughly the
(places where fleas abound. This in
