SATURDAY. JUNK 24, 1922. The tlrutljfiTv human lift' is pass in*r away under the dominion of seience nod invention. This is a very hapj v ( ne'usion of the whole matter, l'mdgery that is the word?drudgtry has heen an ever present factor in the life of the farmer and of the housewife in general ami the poor everywhere. Labor has been largely urudgery, at least the crude methods employed, have been. Think of the farmer going to the well and drawing water by means of a rope and crude windlass from a well 'JO feet deep! Often thy farmer's wife has had to pel. rm this task. Drawing water from . ' >t well wit'.i a chain and bucket and by means of a rickety, creaking windlass is slow word and hard. Now a gasoline engine or an electric pump is used to pump the water for the house, kitchen and barn lot?quite a revolution upward, it seems to its. The tractor has taken quite a bit of drudgery from the plowman. The automobile has wrought a miracle in taking away the tediousi ess of the necessary journey to town, church, school and to the neighbor's house. Nor is the farmer the only worker who has been relieved of much oi tne uruugery ot work. Thirty yearsj ago a worker in one of our cotton, mills found himself submerged in the' worst sort of drudgery. Dust, dirt and lint enveloped him. Danger from, machinery menaced him and his job was a burdensome one. All this hasj been changed. Light, ventilation, free.j dont from dust and pleasant surround-, ings, to say nothing of improved machinery, have made the mill operator's life much pleasanter. In store, factory, on the farm, in the school room ?everywhere?the hand of invention has come in to take away much of the drudgery. Only yesterday the writer witnessed the operation of a ditching machine operated by a locomotive on the Southern Railway. Men stood on a platform and operated levers. The engine did the rest. Great scoops were lowered, filled automatically. lifted by steam and carried to a distant point and dumped. Digging n ililih v.ith b ..n.l n.,?.i lo <ne tiling. Digging a ditvh with a great steam shovel is quite another t hing. It was quite a task for the house-1 wif(. to keep the old kerosene lamp trimmed and burning. It. is quite a jump from the kerosene lamp to tlueiectric light. But in making the jump <;uito a hit of drudgery has been icmovwi from the shoulder of th housewife. Ilenry Ford is not the first one to predict that we are only in the beginning of the development of electricity and that mankind is to he largely liberated from drudgery through such development. 1 I r c; it ??iy ci fruit of sin. * * Our cat says keep your eyes skinnerl J when you are attempting to drive ove-* ' u grade crossing. f * * Our cat says considerable cotton changed hands yesterday. 4 I Our cat say ; nobody cares when tln-i ? selfish man takes his final departure from the earth. * it Our cat says mercy is a crown of j glory to the brow of justice. ^ r Our iat says more head wor^amlf less hand work is needed in the world, i * * Our cat says business without i morals is "bum" business. * * Our cat says speak one kind word to somebody today. Japanese Cotton Spinning Industry Facing Crisis Tokio, June 22.?Cotton spinning, which is the most important industry in Japan, is threatened with a serious crisis, according to the "Diamond," a Tokio commercial newspaper. "The industry enjoyed an unprecedented prosperity during the war boom and all the spinning companies reaped enormous profits and some of them paid dividends as high as 70 to 100 per cent." says this newspaper. "This not unnaturally drew the attention of capitalists with the result that old concerns enlarged their manufacturing capacity and a number of new fnethories were started. When the panic occurred in 1020 the market suffered from an over supply of cotton yarn and the spinners were obliged to curtail the output by mutual agreement so as to prevent a furthei slump of the market. Owing to artificial means applied to relieve the depression of business what is know") as an interim boom occurred last summer and it lasted for several months. This had the effect of further encouraging the establishment of new spinning concerns. On account of the interim boom the spinners abolished the restriction agreement from December last with the result that the output since that month has been steadily increasing. In February, last, however, a reaction set in and the dej ression began in real earnest. The stock, rice, cotton yarn and other merchandise markets began to slump it: quick succession, while the amount of specie kept in Japan abroad rapidly decreased owing to the large volume of imports ordered during the interim boom last year. The domestic consumption of cotton yarn has greatly decreased as may be inferred from the partial or total stoppage of work in rlmost all the weaving districts. In me ijjjiiuuii oi mose wno are well in formed with the condition the prevailing depression will last at least for a year or two and the demand for piece foods consequently will be less. "During March and April last the export of yarn to China was comparatively active?about 40,000 bales were exported each month but since the outbreak of hostilities the export to China has declined to a negligible quantity. Even should the export to China remain on the 40,000 bale level that would not be a very influential factor in the face of the fact that the monthly output of cotton yarn is returned at something like 200,000 bales. It is true that part of the yarn produced is consumed by the spinning companies themselves for the manufacture of cotton cloths for export but as the export of cotton cloths is as inactive as that of cotton yarn they will not be prepared to go on with the j liiunuiuvvuif W1 IWIWMI UlUMIS null (.'<111not be sold. According to statistics 00 per cent of yarn produced is consumed in the country and the remain 40 per cent is exported but owing to the falling-off in the domestic demand it is feared that thi market will inevitably suffer from over supply. "Moreover, the rapid development of the spinning industry in China in Recent years, coupled with the keen it 1 mprican unt) if solar variation for weatnei the wi Is, the great interest which soin t 'flies of solar variability have "This jl here and abroad seems clear- pnnog ^ warrant the continued main- fleetes > of its two stations until a sat- "Usua basis for a test of the solar been lity as a weather-forecast nig destin. t has been laid. jMACH TROUBLES ^ I Chic I: ?? busine 1 ft Lady Had Something Lik? w,1? ai 1 it -i cl T u pelves igeition Until She look jng ?

Ji I Scotland Wants Home Rule London, Juno 22.?Sonne Scotsmen in the house of commons want home rule for Scotland and intimate that there may be "trouble" in Scotland soon if Scotland doesn't get it. They got an opportunity to suy what they thought about it the ether day when the "Government of Scotland bill'' was unexpectedly introduced. So also did some of its opponents who were very strongly of the opinion that it was not wanted. Alexander Shaw, a Scols member, protested that there was no desire for rnything like separation in Scotland. ft 1 4-1 LMl 4% /-? unuer mc dim me Scottish representation in the Imperial parliament would remain unchanged, but one legislative body would be set up in Scotland to deal with its local afTnks. Sir Donald McLeuii, the staunch anti-coalition Scots Liberal, gave the bill his blessing. He alluded to the land hunger in Scotland ard told how it had led to the seizure of land there since the war. If they had had 11 Scotch legislature the land question he declared, would have boon settled long ago. At the next el-.ctj.on every candidate for a Scottish constituency would have to support tin* principle of home rule for Scotland. It would give England a better > h inge to attend to her own legislative business properly. Colonel John Ward, who entered parliament as a navvy and was promptly acclaimed the handsomest man in the house, humorously put the British case. He said he would support the bill if it would keep Scotsmen out of the best posts in England and induce them to stick to their own business at home. Dr. Murray, a representative of the Western Isles, darkly suggested that the house should pass the bill while Scotland was yet calm, and not wait to be coerced into doing so by the burning of sundry ancient castles of Scotland. Tho bill was finnllv "talk ed out" while there were still a lot of members anxious to air their views about it. The hope was expressed that an opportunity might be soon afforder for really testing the feeling of the house concerning the matter. Veterans Planning to Attend Convention San Francisco, June 22.?With every railroad in the country granting a special rate of one-way fare for the round trip excursion to San Francisco, thousands of America's wounded and disabled heroes of the great war are making plans to attend the second annual national convention of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War, to be held in this city. June 20 to 30. The Pullman company has also agreed to a special rate for delegates and members of the organization, of $25.00 for a Pullman accommodation from any part of the United States, for the round trip to San Francisco. From western points, where the rate would naturally be less, an extra cut has been granted. Indications point to five or six special trains to the big convention, which is to be an important gathering of the nation's disabled and wounded world war veterans, and will be productive of hundreds of legislative recommendations and vita! actions on numerous projects for the welfare of the disabled men. The entertainment program, which is to be an elaborate one,1 will commence Saturday, June 24, two days before the opening of the convention and will continue until July 1.
