Garden Spot of South Atlantic Ocean V *. ; t Gibraltar, Nov. 17.?Former Em - peror Charles, of Austria-Hungary, and former Empress Zita are near?r.o. fhoir ninpp of exile on the Island v"w" jr ? ? of Madeira. The British cruiser Cardiff, with the former royal pair on board arrived here today en route to Funchal, Madeira, in the Atlantic off the northeastern coast of Afica, a comparatively short sail from this port. Banishment of trouble-making former monarchs to islands of the sea far from their one-time deminions is an uncommon procedure but precedent for the plight of former Emperor Charles of Austria-Hungary "who has been exiled to Madeira, is found in the historic case of Napoleon I,\ who passed six years on St. Helena in the South Atlantic, 700 miles from the nearest land, a prisoner more than a century ago. I St. Helena is not only much smaller than Madeira but, compared to loffav ic oc "? devil's islsnH" to paradise. Five-sixths of its area is > devoid of vegetation and, aside from an army garrison, there are no big towns or osher evidences of life. .>'> * < Madeira, five times the size of St. Helena, is an ocean garden spot. Funchal, its chief city, has a population of more than 20,000 and the island, one of a group of four owned by Portugal, produces some of the most famous wine and laces in the world as well as'an abundance of fruits, grains and sugar. ^-Oxen are mainly used for agriculture, instead of draft%horses' and other farming methods are primitive. Less than two per cent -o of the people c6n read ^nd write. ine rorcugese military garnson is very small and Charles, Zita and their six small children, if the allied powers permit, may have every freedom " except an unchaperoned ocean voyage. Napoleon was guarded day and night by soldiers. Madeira, the Portugese word for ? "forest^" is directly in the Atlantic ocean trade routes. St. Helena, a British naval coaling station often, does not see a ship for days. Madeira is a port of call and thus is kept in daily touch with the outside world. The island, 400 miles west of Moroc\ ' co, has a temperate climate. It is 12 miles wide and 35 miles long, and elliptical in shape. Three other islands nearby complete the Madeira group. They are Porto Santos which with Madeira, have a population of 170,000 and the Desertas and Selvaarens. two smaller islands of volcanic origin. The latter are uninhabited .. , rocky formations jutting out of ' the sea* V. . " " SOUTH CAROLINA GETS $74,060 LOAN A .

' - CHANGES IN COTTON MARKETING SYSTEM Would Greatly Improve The Present Sampling Method#. i Dallas, Texas, Nov. 15.?Changes in the cotton marketing system are being effected by the Growers' Marketing Associations now ibeing fedi rated into the American Cotton Growers Exchange, according to C. O. Moser, Secretary of that organization. Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Arizona are the charter members of the organization and are all four marketing their cotton successfully through co-operative associations this year, according to Mr. Moser. "North Carolina has completed its ! state organization and is said to be ready to affiiliate," added Mr. Moser. Organization of growers' associations is being rapidly completed in South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Arkansas, while the preliminary 'work is being done in Alabama and Louisiana. The above named state | include practically all of the cotton area of the United States. Pinal [ completion'of the organization of the entire south is expected before March 1, 1922." Some- idea of the magnitude of the movement may be obtained from o c+atomont of Tpvfla Parm Bu reau in which he said that the Texas Farm Bureau Cotton Association, a member of the Exchange, had as much cotton to sell as any five cotton firms in the world. He further said that this cotton was all graded and classed and ready for immediate delivery. Oklahoma cotton growers have organizations similar to the one in Texas and almost'as great in size and importance. The Texas Association has received to date m the neighborhood of 100,000 bales of cotton, according to L. G. Hill, Jr., Secretary of the Association. In pursuance of its plan to market in an orderly fashion throughout the year only about 17,000 bales have been sold so far. Walter L. Troutt, sales manager, says that he has been able to obtain for members of the Texas Association from two to three cents a pound more than street buyers have been paying. This amounts to ffom ten to | fifteen dollars a bale or above a two' hundred thousand dollar increase on sales already made. Should the same ratio be held on the hundred thousand bales already received it will amount to more than a million and a quarter dollars. Cotton is still be in..? received^ however, ^t the rate of from 1,800 to 3,500 bales a day at the Dallas office and no one is able <to tell at ttie present time the total amount $f cotton which th? Association will finally handle this year. Mr. Moser says the Association has advanced to members more than a million dollars to date on more than 50,000 bales of cotton although it is said that less than half of the growers are asking for advances. Forty, dollars a bale' is now being ad vanced to growers upon delivery of their cotton to the association and prior to the final sale. While no accurate figures on the cost of selling the cotton can be givi ?? V...+41 a n:__ cu uuwu i#iic; ciiu vi uuc aciuag scaauii it is estimated that it will not exceed $1.00 per bale.

The commit tee of fifteen on educational preparation for foreign service appointed by the United States commissioner of education to investigate and report from time to time upon this important type of training called on higher institutions to show whether the nation can prepare for foreign service through established educational system. Dr. Glenn Levin Swiggett, the chairman reports that nearly 12 per crit of the colleges report courses in foreign service, foreign trade in particular. Of the 71 higher institutions in which this special training is now offered, the 10 highest report each more than 100, students taking foreign trade, a total enrollment for the 10 institutions of 2,255 students! about one-fifth the total number of students enrolled, for all ccyirs^s in collegiate schools of business reporting to the bureau of education only five years ago. The University of Washington, Seattle, heads the list with 407 students. New York University is second, with 401 students. 'PREFERS HOME TOWN TO HIS OWN LIBERTY Winston-Salem, N. CM Nov. 16.? After pleading; guilty to the charge of selling -whiskey and > asking the mercy of the city court, Ernest Dymott a "white man yesterday accepted Judge Hartman's judgment?a six months road sentence on the county roads provided the defendant was found in Winston^Salem after today within two years.

The Association classing rooms are said to be the laxgest in Texas and the graders are handling from 1,000 to 2,500 bales per day. Recognition of the business standing of the Texas Association was given by the War Finance Association when it loaned $15,000,000 to assist in the.movement of the cotton Texas banics, followed immediately after by announcing an acceptance credit of one and one-half million dollars and offering a cash loaji of 'one half million dollars which , has since increased to over a million dol1am ARAOi ?' ' The work of handling the incoming cotton has become so great that it has become necessary to have night and day shifts for the employes. One set "of clerks goes to work at seven in the evening and works until 6:30 in the morning. Many members of the day force work from 8:30 in the morning until 10 o'clock at | night.

COTTON SHORTAGE PREDICTED BY SMIT1 South* Carolina Senator Sees Ej haustion by August Next Year; Washington, Nov. 16.?Predictio of a world sh6rtage of cotton nes summer was made in the senate -tc da^ by Senator Smith of Sout Oarolina in a speech analyzing th statistics on cotton consumption fc October made public by the censv bureau. Should the rate,of consumj tion for the ensuing months equi or exceed that of October he sai< there would not be a bale of cotto in existence by next August *1. Exports and domestic use of co' ton, for October, aggregated 1,336 000 bales which according to the sei ator,' constitutes a record fc monthly disposition of the staple. "At that rate," said Mr. Smitl "the exports ahd consumption bi tween last August and next Augus will be over 16,000,000 and the be: estimates of the visible supply thi can be obtained show but 12,500,00 'bales." ^ A carry over .of about 5,000,00 bales was estimated by Mr. Smit While this' year's crop he believe would not exceed 7,000,000 bale He made his figures liberal he sai but fouml no way to bring the tw totals anyway near together.
