THE COTTON SITUATION.
Remaining Supply of C'utton Is Small
Says J. W. Jay & Co.
New York, May 12, 11)28.? Answer
ing inquiries from our Southern
friends, regarding -mill curtailment,
eight Fall River mills stopped work
for two days this week, reopening
Monday.
* The remaining supply, of cotton is
ho small that the mills of the world
using American ..cotton will have to
curtail their operations to ah aver
age <? f" about four days per week for
the next four months. Last year
about this time, Fall River mills were
closed </>n account of strikes and lock
outs. Kvery effort was being made
to rWiur expenses. Unemployment
existed. Foreign affairs were .as un
settled as now and yet consumption of
American cotton, according to Hester,
was 12,8.04,000 for the year.
This season for nine months , end
ing April 80th, consumption was on
a basis of 13,500,000 bales. September
15th is about the earliest that new
cotton can reach the mills. Assume
that consumption is cut to a yearly
basis of 12,000,000 bales for the next
four month** and mills will require
4,500,000 pluft stocks en route to
mills, 1,600,000 a tatal of 6,000,000
l^iles. To meet this need, on May
tirut, American and foreign mills had
about 2,450,000 plus the visible 1,816
000, plus uncounted towns and on
farms 800,000, a total of 5,065,000*
Thus by -curtailing from a 18,600,000
bale basis, mills will still need more
cotton than exists.
Nowhere do we hear the assertion
that consumption will be orv a year
ly basto below ? 10,000,000 bales, and
yet that is what must happen during
the- next four months make the
supply last. ,
The world urgently needs a mini
mum crop of 18,000,000 bales next
season. The ne\v crop averages about
two weeks late and is starting poor
ly. The best reports are from Texas.
We strongly advise our Southern
friends to refrain from pressing their
cotien for sale. Every bale will be
badly needed before new cotton will
be retftty for market. Our advices are
that the Cooperative Associations
have withdrawn their cotton from
sale.
Yours truly,
J. \V. JAY & CO.

Uannie Home, 388 Smythe street,
Greenwood, S. C."
Such was the wording of an ad
vertisement which got Ha nine Home,
a flirty day term in the Greenwood
county jail instead of a husband, be
cause the district attorney for the
western district of . South Carolina
United States Court had charged that
while Hannie might be pretty, and all
that, he could not make a good wife
because he was a man.
As a result of the advertisement,
wljich was published in certain news
papers, Captain J. Van, of Muskegon;
Mich., became interested and sent
money and a diamond ring to Hannie
Home.
Although the matter is understood
to have- -started as a joke, and part
of the money was returned to Captain
Vaii, Horne "pleaded guilty to techni
cal charges of using the mail to de
fraud and was sentenced by Judge
Watkins to seA'e thirty days in the
Greenwood jail. This is the lightest
ssntence which could be imposed.

8he*dldn't wai\t her nice, now safe
all mussed up by peaky robbers 1
Recently one of the contract poatal
stations In the District was robbed,
but owing to the habit of the woman
owner of the store In which the sta
tion waa lodged, the robbers got no
postal funds.
This woman was In the habit of
taking all' the money and poatage
stamps home with her each njght, aa
well as the receipts of her store, be
cause she had no safe or other place
t? leave them In the establishment.
It (Jerhapa should be explained that
a "contract station" Is merely a small,
post office branch located In a store,
which tl^? owner agrees to run on a
contract basis.
Well, when .he officials at the city
post office heard of the robbpry of the
store, but feafuty of postal fuhds and
Stumps, they Interviewed the woman.
"You must have a safe, by all
means," declared the officials. "You
not only need one for your own busi
ness, but you must have It to safe
guard Uncle Sam's money and
stamps,*'
So the lady agreed to buy herself
a safe. She got a nice, new one, really
a fine irtTalr, all enamel and gilt, with
a shiny dli?l and nil that sort of thing.
"Now," declared postal officials, with
a sigh of relief, when they glimpsed
that brand-new safe, "No burglar can
get In now, and you will be saved the
danger of taking till your own funds
as well as postal moneys and stamps
home each night."
Several nights later llght-flngered
gentry got Into the store again.
When postal Inspectors hot footed It
to tlie establishment they found the
new safe with Its doors wide opt'n and
not a single note, coin or stamp in the
safe.
"Cleaned !" gasped the Inspector,
looking Into the empty safe. "They
didn't leave a cent ? took It all."
Postal officials moaned.
"How much did you leave In the
safe?" they asked the woman proprie
tor.
The latter smiled sweetly.
"I didn't leave anything," she said.
"What I" yelled the postal inspec
tors.
"You see, I was afraid .the burglars
would get In again," explained the
woman, "And I had read how they
blow open safes. And my safe was so
nice and shiny, I didn't want them to
hurt It when they blew It up."
"So you-?"
"Yes, sir, I Just took my money and
stamps home with me each night, Just
as I have always done, and left the
door of the safe open a bit, so that If
the burglars got In they would sop It
and not have to blow It all up," ex
plained the woman. "It's such a pret
ty safe."
Woi^ld Save Flamingoes.
T. Gilbert Pearson, president of the
Notional Association of Audubon So-*
cietles, has started on a trlfl to the
Bahamas In the hope of paving the
last survivors of the flame-.colored
flamingoes which were once numerous
In the Bahamas and Florida.
The colonies In the United States
have been completely tvlped out, and
It Is estimated that only 1,200 of these
splendid and stately birds remain In
the Bahamas. They are all on the
Island of Andros, the'largest and most
densely wooded Island of the group.
The flamingo Is easy to see, easy to
kill and easy to eat. The /lainlngo
tongue was one of the most prized
delicacies of the table In Roman times,
but the whole bird Is esteemed In the
Bahamas as formerly In Florida, and
nothing but caVeful protection on a
bird refuge can save the few which
remain.
Mr. Pearson has established sanctu
aries for egrets and many other flne
American birds nod Expects to have
no difficulty in obtaining funds from
bird lovers for the upkeep of such a |
refuge on the Island of Andros, If thei
local government will co-operate* In I
protecting the bird.
