UNCLE SAM CROWNING COTTON RING OF PRODUCTS.
No nation ever expressed victory in more forcible language
or heralded tidings of conquest in more convincing terms than
Uncle Sam when he announced to the world the supremacy of
Cotton as a money crop over all staple products. We quote the
following from his coronation speech: “Average farm value of
products per acre in Continental United States In 1910:
Cotton ___________u__________________$24.97
Com____________1___________________18.37
Wheat..........-___________________12.63
Oats 10.90“
The Texas Welfare Commission is investigating the produc-
tion of and the methods for marketing cotton. W. T. LoUder-
milk of DeLeon is chairman of the sub-committee having thi
subject under consideration.
Our Textile Fibres
OUR VEGETABLE AND ANIMAL COMPETITORS.
Cotton, from a worthless weed infesting the highways «f
agriculture, has become the world’s most useful product. The
splendor of its fibre attracted the attention of the Inventive
genius, aroused the courage of the manufacturer, plead for recog-
nition of the producer and appealed to the wisdom of the con-
sumer and with these powerful allies, it has fought its battles
an every merchant's counter on the globe and has conquered
43 per cent of the textile trade of the world. Wool has been its
strongest rival, but the result ef the century’s contest shows cotton
to have passed from SI to 48 per cent and wool moved downward
from $6 to 16jmr cent of the world’s consumption.
The Texas welfare Commission is investigating the production,
marketiuff and manufacturing of textile fibres.
The harvest season on a large cof-
fee One a in Guatemala Is the busieat
time of the year. At the first hint of
dawn a great bell calls the Indians to
work, and men, women and 'children,
laden with wide, fla( baskets, start
for the fields, where all day long they
pick the bright red berries. The re-
sult of a good day's work for each
picker Is about three bushels of ber-
ries. At sunset the great baskets,
plied high with the crimson fruit, are
brousht to the weighing house, where
the contents are weighed, each picker
receiving a check for the amount due
him. The Southern Workman says
the wages are 7 or 8 cents a day, paid
lh full every Saturday night There
Is no more beautiful or attractive
scene in the world than a vast coffee
field In this country when the harvest-
ing Is In full swing, for the costume
of the Guatemala Indian Is the most
effective and picturesque In all Cen-
tral America. The woman’s dress
usually consists of three pieces; a
long cloth (generally of many hues,
red and yellow predominating) wound
several times around the lower limbs;
the Juipll, or shirt, richly embroidered
with curious designs—birds, animals,
arrow patterns or geometrical figures
in many oolors; and a gaudy belt or
sash holding the two garments to-
gether. The hair is worn In two
heavy braids, often Intertwined with
gay ribbons. In the north the women
wear curiously woven head bands sev-
eral yards In length, wound around
and around the head and tied In a
double knot over the forehead. They
are made of silk, richly colored, ending
In heavy tassels of silver, and are
very effective.
They Come From Many Lands and
Are Used In Making Brushes
and Cloth.
By A. W. MACY.
One curious by-produot of the
great Revolution In England was
the organisation known aa
“Fifth Monarchy Men." Theee
people believed that only the
godly are fit to govern, and that
all civil authority should be
lodged In the church. They bo
lleved alto that a new reign was
near at hand, which should be
known as “The Fifth Monarchy,"
to auoceed the Assyrian, tha
Persian, the Greek and the Ro-
man, during which Christ and
his saints should reign on earth
a thousand /eara. They sought
to abolish all existing laws, and
substitute a simpler code baaed
on the law of Moses. At first
they supported Cromwell's gov-
ernment, believing It to be a
preparation for the new order
of things. But they aoon grew
tired of waiting for the fulfill-
ment of their hopes, and began
to agitate against the govern-
ment and vllllfy Cromwell. The
arrest and Imprisonment of sev-
eral of their leaders oool«d their
ardor, and they remained quiet
for eome time. After the re-
storation of Charles to the
throne they renewed the agita-
tion, and attempted to take pos-
session of London. Most of
them were either killed or cap-
tured, and eleven of the leaders
were executed for high treason.
Thus vanished their visions of
an impending millennium.

The Production, Milling and Mar-
keting of-Rice
An Item that seemed odd In the
manifest of a steamer lately arrived
from Japanese and Chinese porta waa
this In the list of her cargo from
Tientsin: Fifty-five cases of horse
tails.
Aa a matter of fact horse tails, or
the hair thereof, are a common ar-
ticle Importation Into this country
from China and from pretty much
every other country on earth. The
American market gets large quantities
of them from China, but more from
Russia; and horse tails are Imported
here from every other European
country and from South America, from
Australia, from all round the world.
On the other hand there are more
or less American horse tails exported.
From various causes the supply of
horse tails, like that of anything else,
may In one country and another vary
from year to year, and there may be
years when the world's supply Is short
and years when It Is plentiful, with
corresponding changes in the range of
prices. Horse tails have sold as low
as 20 cents a pound and they have
sold for as much as $2. If stocks are
scarce and high In London, and ample
at lower prices here, New York Im-
porters ship horse tails to London; In
the contrary circumstances London
Importers might ship horse tails here.
Horsetail hairs are sorted for length
and colors and they are used either
alone or mixed with other fibers in
tbs manufacture of various sorts of
brushes and mixed with other ma-
terials In the manufacture of hair-
cloth. h< *

ANNUAL VALUE OF TEXAS RICE CROP, $6,086,604.
Rice is the most nutritious food known in civilisation. It con-
tains more life-giving powers than any product of either the
animal or vegetable kingdom. As a food, it is the King of pro-
ducts and unaided, it has supported human life for ages. Rice
pays the highest toll to reach the consumer of any staple article
of trade. The producer sells it to the miller for four cents per
pound. The miller runs it through the mill and sells it for
five cents, but the consumer pays the grocjr as high as fifteen
cents for it.
The Texas Welfare Commission will consider the Production,
Milling and Marketing of Rice. W. P. H. McFaddin of
Beaumont is chairman of the sub-committee having this subject
in charge. t

Tuning Bells.
When bells in a chime produce dis-
cord they can be tuned. The tone of
a bell may be raised or lowered by
cutting off a little metal In the proper
placeB. To lower the tone the bell
tuner puts the bell in hts lathe and
reams It out from the point where the
swell begins, nearly down to the rim.
As the work proceeds he frequently
tests the note with a tuning fork, and
the moment the right tone la reached
he stops reaming. To raise the tone,
on the contrary, he ahavea off the
lower edge of the bell, gradually less-
ening or flattening the bevel. In order
to shorten the bell, for of two bells
of equal diameter and thickness the
shorter will give the higher note. A
noteworthy Instance of bell-tuning
was at Lausanne, where twelve bells,
la three neighboring steeples, pro-
duced only Sevan distinct notes, and
gave out a moat curious discord.
