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.)
Chicago.?John Fletcher, vice president
of the Fort Dearborn Bank
handed a few figures on panics to Chicago's
big business ment at the meetin
of the Association of Commerce
Wednesday:
"There are people foolish enough
to talk about the possibilities of
panic. With but 5per cent of the
earth's population we have 24 per
cent of its agricultural production 40
per cent of the mineral production,

and we manufacture 35 per cent of i
goods. Our natural wealth is aboi
$225,000,000,000, while that of oi
nearest competitor England, is bi
$80,000,000,000. With this, it is in
possible for things to go wrong.
"The real trouble in this counti
today is that there is a premium c
idleness.
"Our trade balance today is fi\
billion dollars. We have repurchase
our foreign placed securities to tl
value of about eight billion dollar
We have loaned our allies nine billio
dollars, or ten billions. Half of th
gold in the world is in the Unite

BREWING PARTIES LATEST
FAD IN WASHINGTON HOMES
Events Take Place at 11 A. 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.
