'EARM IN COTTON ATEMP BLUFf No cotton grower should for a mo ment be frightened by the bluff that importations of cotton will be cur- e tailed by Great Britain on account of low exchange. That is the baldest piece of bluff which the cotton beats have ever tried to palm off upon the South. England's very industrial life would collapse if it could not get cot ton from America. It would buy cot ton if it had to pay 50 to 75 per cent more than the price which it is now paying, and its mills would still make a large prot bfiecause of the tremen- I dous sales which they have made ahead on a basis of profit justifying a very much higher price for the raw i cotton. If cotton were 60 cents a t pound English mills would not for a t moment curtail their output. They I would balk and halt and bluff, and very naturally so, because the game ef the buyer always has been the c. "'aught, naught," says the buy- i et io. ..on was wise enough to kr y the bluff game played by the bu, er and what he said on that sub- I ject admirably fits the cotton buying interests today. If English mills were running at a loss, or even at a small margin of I profit, there might be some founda tion for the thought that high priced cotton was a hardship on them. But English mills, as wel las American - mills, are abundantly able to pay for more than they are now paying for the raw material and stil make a profit as large as their conscience ought to permit them to make. They are not to blame for these large pro fits. The world is demanding. their output, so that their products are be ing sold mucl) faster than they can turn it ou,. / Al lthe world is short on cotton goods.

MACMILLAN GOES TO BAFFIN LAND Boston, Feb. 16.--Secrets of Baffin and, one of the portions of the Arctic till unexplored will be the objective if the MacMillan expedition which is n preparation now for departure in he summer of 1921. Although the re ;ion was visited several times befcia he Pilgrims crossed the Atlartc t' ape Cod, Baffin Land from the point if view of explorers and scientists is till one of the richest and most allur-' ng fields of research in the north. Its whole western shore, more than L,000 miles in length is but vaguely Oe lied on the charts. Eskimos have tdld vonderful tales of vast lakes and tow .ring mountains in the interior but' vhite men have never visited that sec ion. Its flora and fauna have never een studied; little is known of the novements of the tidal currents along ts shores; and facts of geology, min 3ralogy and meteorology await the oming of scientific observers. The party headed by Donald Mae-, %illan, Peary's lieutenant on the ex pedition that reached the North Pole, plans to leave Boston about July 1, 1921, and to reach Baffin Land in less than a month, with good luck. The following winter will be spent on the western shore in latitude 69. The amp will probably be just south of the entrance of the dangerous Fury and Hecla strait where the ships of, Ed Car in;/twe/eiaz )r1sts )itasa ell repaid for the stablisheid a ne :yiiinder power 1sUDI. terms~'.
