following Mter fro?u ? well known firm
of cotton hi mi in New York in ho out
of the ordinary that we reproduce it
in order to ahow what the Wall Htreet
men think of the preMnrt wituation :
"One year ngo the world'* heart, aoul.
mind, aud tiw? lx**t of her bodies were
in the Argoune aod ivtton was treated
as a kind of a 'red ^headed Ht??|>-ohil(1"
absolutely nagiocted. Today we are con
fronted with a altualrion entirely different
and our fighting front haw -been- switched
to a mvtor known an rofttni with (ien
erai Fanner in absolute co/umand.
That this crop is a di*awt?r there i?
very little doutx and with the (X'tober
survey, the condition cau?ed by weevil
inroads, ]?<iuiuootual k*Io.s, heavy . rains
and acreage abandonment. Very utranfe
developments that the trade "haa not wlt

doing of many who har*#*4e)U>W*d -the

that the Hpinner imist have on hi# for

I'lioriRouH profita?
It is not within our province to fore
??ant the attitude of the. (minority of
i he holder, but from .the information
gleahed by acual contact in our trip
over the belt, we do u<?t 'hewitate P> ???ay
that the majority of them are quite keen
to the Hit nation ? (both of crop diaiiater
and Hpinner, and in certainly net going
to saerltUv l*is holdings ut thin piiee.
Reactions from time to time are aure j

merely incidontuJ in a general upward j
trend of prions and nerve to portray the
feent imen t of the quick profit element

Why Can't Oysters Stay Down.
We were told that the price of beef
and pork went up because of the extra
expense in feeding the live stock, and
we believed it : but now, will somebody
kindly xive us a phausible reason for the

they are still Retting their food at the

Ho may be g see ted ?? he alight* from

in u more profitable trade and who ia

Tho fact that Baruch, the millionaire
financier who #a* reared in South Caro
lina and <who owus property near . George
town, wan one of tho do>llar-a<year men
working for the government during tho
war haw nothing to do with hia decision
not to buy now clothes this winter, but
to make hit# old ones do.
Mr. Barudh's wealth -is of the sort
tbat makes tho income tax man dlxay,
nevertheless, ho haa decided that the
beat way ho can help reduce the bur
den t?o me coot of living is to aet tho ex
wnple of existing out uaefesn luxuries.
Mr. Baruch it wan recently learned
to the amazement of hia friends, haa
not been in 'tflei habit of buying his
own cOothes. He haa been so busy
tbat h$ had a man attend to , this detail
for him. Recently thia man reported
to My.-iiinHitbat the shoes NWftch the
famoui N?jw York financier is ? accua
tom??d to wear now cotft $45 ? paid and
tbat the ordinary Baruch butdneBS suit
was quoted by the tailors at $160, while
all other articlw* of the- wardrobe have
increased accordingly. Of course, this
would not make even a dent in the
Baruch bank roll, but nevertheleas the
patriotic financier /decided 'to clamp down
the lid, and Mr. Barnoh thinks, it ifl
said that he will 'be able 'to .-get along
rather well on lawt year's clothes and
with half-noled shoes.
Jim Wbeeay, the one thue barber, is
now milking more every day he works
than h? used to make In a week. His
mot'to is "get and upend". ' His array
of Milk shirts is a veritable symphony
and each of his peacock neekties is a
whole jazz band. Indeed, Solomon in
nil bis glory whs not attired like Jim
\Vh?'ozv. But unlike Solomon and unlike
Banic.i Uarudh, Jim lias little thought
fur tomorrow. He believes lie having
ii good time and bis idea of a good time
i<i to vpend his 'money in the most lavish
and reckless way ; and it is possible that
.liin W'lx'tisy may soon wish that be .j
bad more money in the bunk and less
nbirt* lu the top bureau drawer.

are buying too many silk shirts and a

Harney Ha ruck baa said privately and
piiMicly that one of tbe mire waya to
bring down the high. coht of living?
and be knows ? is to work harder, pro
duce more, and aave as much as is rea
sonably ppwdble. This is the policy out
lined by the savings division of the
treasury department, wbk-h is now work
ing day sad uight to help piit the na
tion back on a pre-war basis and to
implant in tbe minds and hearts of the
people those sound economic principles
whk'h, it has ibeen proved, lie at the
baslH of success and happiness.

THE MU*J?slppl rtV*r lias been har
newaed! A genius named Cooper
(Hugh L., Iste of General Pershing's
(forces Ijl France) turned the trick.
* He bdllt a 'concrete dan, 42 fact
wida at the bottom, $9 feet wide fin
top and about 58 foot high, across'tffs
river; a powerhouse in which will
be housed thirl* horsepowa^
turbines, , .esch with Its generator
weighing 850 tons; a lock 400 feet long
and 110 feet wide (the width being
the name as the locks in the Panama
canal, but the lift is higher) ; the
largest dry dock (at the time) l? fro*fe
water and an Ice fender.
It wan necessary to acquire about
26,000 acres of land, build 50 miles of
fo?ds and streets and clear 5,000 acres
of brush and timber. More than V
300 property owners were dealt with.
Litigation was resorted to in only
about ten cases. , Two hundred and
eighty-nine tons of dynamite were used.
Construction work required about 800,
000 barrels of cement, 7,500 tons of
steel, 300,000 cubic yards of sand, 8,
500,000 pounds of structural steel and
20,000,000 feet of lumber.
- v Now, the "Father of Waters" turns
the machinery thaft lights cities, runs
street cars and operates factories.
Sixty thousand horsepower of elec
tricity Is used in St. Louis, 141 miles
away. Sufficient power is generated
to light a boulevard from Portland,
Me., to 'Los Angeles, Cal., using 48
candle-power lamps set 100 feet apuxt.
Construction ? started January 5,
1910. The first current reached St.
Louis July 1, 1918. The total cost of
the plant was $20,000,000.
