Cotton Comes Back A Ten Page Ad. Wasting Ten Billions. (Copyright by Kinc Feature Syndicate, Ino.) Mexico's revolutionists com bine business with patriotism. One Mexican, one Spaniard, two Americans, arrested in New York, were going to Eu rope, with $730,000 taken from bjuks raided in Mexico. An American court will de cide oil the nature of the loot. If it's war, the men' arrested will keep it, as the allies keep ' all the gold they can get in Germany. If it's rebellion the men will go to jail, and the money back to Mexico. As the men were ' beaten, they will probably be classed as rebels. . : Cotton growers will be glad to hear that department stores arc speciaizing in cotton goods; 'ICotton arrives," is the an nouncement of one store, big gest in New York, doing about $90,000,000 a year. .

This country flid eight to teu billions in foreign trade last year, but Dr- Klein, assistant secretary of comhicrcc, says American business methods lose eight to ten billions each year. Lax promotion, imperfect mer chaudise, disorderly marketing of unsystematic housing, cause of unsystcniati housing, cause part of the loss. , Two hundred million to $300, 000,000 a year could be saved bv improved handling methods. Look into the "skid platform" device. Honry Ford suggested the five-day work week, "that workers might have time to spend and enjoy their -earn nigs." ' Prosperity, according to Mr. Ford, must depend on wise spending of the ninety billions per year collected by the wage earners. New York's building trade takes the suggestion seriously and 100,000 men by threatening a strike have won the five-day week, with five and a half days' pay. "lfo workers, well rc"'-."l. can.
