J NEW TEXTIIiE MILLS.
According to the annual report of
mill construction for 1907 In the Tex
tile world-Record, there were 262
mill built in the United States In that
year as compared with 303 In the pre
ceding year. r
There was an Increase In the num
ber of new silk mills, but cotton,
woolen, and knitting each showed de
crease. The shortnge of skilled help
that prevailed up to almost the end of
the year Is given as the reason for the
slackening In new mill construction.
Hearly 70 per cent of the spindles In
the cotton mills are reported from the
south, where the record was practi
cally the same a in 1906. The south
and New England claim all but 10,000
of the 418,000 cotton spindles, and all
but 100 of the 13,524 cotton looms.
New England and the middle stated
have 21 of the new woolen and worst
ed mills. The middle states have 49 of
the S3 knitting mill. Three states,
Pennsylvania, New York and New
. Jersey, have 41 of the 67 silk mills,

"MY ITS FIUITS."
The army anti-canteen law became
effective In J901 and the following
record speaks for Itself:
Judge. Advocate Davis of Wushlng
ton, D. C, who has charge of all gen
eral courts martial in the army, re
ports that In 1900 there were 1845
courts martial fur drunkenness. In
1901 there 145R; 1902, 960; 1903, 811;
1904, 616; 1905, 608; 1906, 504; 1907,
47. These figures, which are offi
cial, speuk for themselves, and ex
pose the absurdity of the claim that
"the operation of the anti-canteen luw
has Increased dmikenness" and courts
. martial.

'The British commercial attache at
Yokohama has written a report on the
subject of the Japanese export trade
In human hnlr. which Is an Industry
of recent growth In Japan. The total
export In 1904 amounted to n little
over $1000,, but In ,1906 the total
reached 160,000. Although this rapU!
rate of progress whs nut maintained
during 1907, yet the Industry was-well
sustained. The hair exported is nil
black In color and rather course and
consists almost entirely of the comb
ings of women of the lower dnssc.

The liquor Interest of Illinois claim
that tbey won a great victory In the

saloon or no saloon was the Issue.
Possibly they did, but a few more such

four went dry. Of eo.t.-se, it could
have been unanimous.
