Seldom does a volcano become an asset, but volcanic eruptions have contributed largely to the fertility of Barbados. When the sun was obscured throughout one day in May 1912, the Barbados were panic stricken, but when the gentle rain of black dust subsided the deposit was found to be ashes from an eruption of St. Vincent Soufriere, nearly a hundred miles to the west, which enriched the soil. Long before that time, though, Barbados was productive. Oldest of British colonial possessions except Newfoundland, it also was the first place in the British, empire where sugar cane was planted. Its average crop of this now high priced commodity is 50,000 tons. It also has 2,000 acres planted in sea island or long staple cotton: raises 40.000. bunches yearly of the Chinese banana, and exports molasses. There are no volcanoes on Barbadoes; nor are there any streams of appreciable sixe. Water seeps through the porous soil and reaches the sea by underground channels. Bathers at Freshwater Bay are apt to experience a rocking sensation on the surf sands like that at s me of the trick amusement devices of Coney Island of Uuna Park. The undulations underfoot mark the outlets below the sea level, of these subterranean streams. U. S. TOO RICH FOR PANIC (From the New York World.)

M., When "Hops" Have Place of Honor in Drawing Rooips (From the Pittsburg Gazette-Times.) The brewing party is the latest fad to lift the gloom from Washington The parties are held at 11 o'clock in the morning, are strictly formal and held in the homes ef the best. The ladies don long aprons and the iadgredents of near?no ssi, real?beer, are brought into the drawing room. The chief ingredient a package of hops on which is printed in warning letters of black: "Don't put a cake of yee&t in the mixture, for it will make 0 per cent beer." At a party recently the hostess had forgotten nothing but the six-gallon demijohn in which the brew was to be poured. The oversight was speedily remedied by a telephone message to a store, but when the boy brought the demijohn they were minus the glass stopper which she had ordered. "Where are the glass stoppers," she demanded. "You don't need none," replied the boy. "Put some carboard around the necks. You want to give the stuff the air." ! * "H'm!" sniffed the hostess, "you seem to know all about it." "Guess I orter," the boy came back. "We sold 3,000 of these here demijohns this week." The members of both houses of congress are being besieged with letters from the folks back home to intercede with the agricultural department for packages of malt and hops instead of the old-time bags of seeds and sacks of bug destroying stuff. Humble citizens in private life* are taking their tips from the poor but honest farmer. Which may account in a measure for the increased appropriation demanded for the department of agriculture. FARMERS GET ONLY $5.85 FOR WOOL IN $75 SUIT College Sheep Specialist Shows Best Grade Sella for $7.37 In the Market. (From the Indianapolis News.) Sheep raisers in Indiana are not responsible for the high cost of clothing, according to Claude Harper, PurSue, University sheep specialist, and ' also secretary of the Indinan Sheep Breeders' and Feeders association, _ who has just issued a statement to ~~ the effect that the farmer receives onlv S5.85 for onniich wool fo mnlro ,e a suit for man weighing 175 pounds. ^ "A man who weighs 175 pounds re-ik quires three and one-half yards of 1_ cloth for a suit the weight of the clothing being from ten to eighteen *y ounces a yard," Mr. Harper says. >n "The average medium weight wool suit is made of goodB weighing foure Aeen ounces a yard. At three and one-half yards a suit, the cloth in ie the entire suit weighs forty-nine 3> ounces, or a little more than three in pounds. In the manufacture of allie wool cloth it requires one and three!(* fourths pounds of scoured wool to :s produce a pound of cloth. a "Therefore, considering waste in ie manufacturing, it requires about sixty-two ounces of scoured wool for an average suit of clothes. Most of the Indiana scoured wool is selling in Boston from $1.25 to $1.44 a pound. This wool scours around 50 k per cent, of grease and dirt. At $1.44 13 a scoured pound, this makes wool in worth 9 cents an ounce. As sixty-two 'n ounces are required for - the entire ie suit, then the cost of wool in the :s suit is $5.85. in Mr. Harper says that if a suit made of the very best grade of wool, which is selling at about $1.90. a a scQured pound, then the wool in the ^ suit will cost $7.37. The cost of ship1,1 ping, commission, etc., he says, is at c* least 5 cents a pound, which is de *" ducted frbm the producer's receipts. These suits, Tie pointed out sell at s~ retil all the way from $40 to $75 10 and higher.
