OPEN SEASON FOR STRAW HATS
Now its the open season for straw hats, and on Fifth
Avenue and on Main Street they show which way the
trade winds blow. But during the closed season their
manufacturers have shown to the Census Bureau that
the annual sales reach a total of more than $32,000,000.
, Straw hats are made in ninety-six factories, with an in
vested capital of $30,000,000. The New England States,
New. York, California, Missouri, Illinois, Maryland, and '
iNew jersey are tne principal producers. i
The annual production has increased from a value of
$10,000,000 in 1904 to $25,000,000 in 1914, and to $32,
500,000 in 1923. From 1904 to 1923 the population in
creased 33 per cent, but the value of the hats rose more
1 than 200 per cent, indicating the buying of more or
better hats for every head. Straw for hats is imported,
chiefly from Japan, China, and Italy in the form of
"braids." ... ;
Our straw-hat factories are kept going by American
heads, inside and outside the works, for though men
may dodge a poll tax, few have the face to beat the
usual summer "overhead."

' ' WASHINGTON, July 23. Extra
territoriality!"'' -.' f
Try saying it. It can be done, of
course by most people. But mighty
few can say It "on high." A vast
majority have to throttl-3 down and
feel their way.,.
What I mean 'is:
Can you como 10 "extraterri
toriality" unexpectedly, in the mid
dle of a sentence, and take it un
interruptedly and go right on.
'without a pause or. s backward
glance or a passing thought that
you topped that enunciatory hur
dle in pretty good style?
I'll ta&e the -negative on all bets
offered, and win by a wide margin
in the long run.
. .'.'''
To illustrate. Here's the openlhg
sentence in a luttcr from President
Green of tho American Federation
of Labor to President Coolidge of
the United States. See if you can
read it rapidly and distinctly, clear
y pronouncing every word, from
start to finish.
"On behalf of tho American labor
movement I wish to urge for your
favorable consideration and speedy
action that the United States take
the initiative in calling an interna
tional conference to make plans to
abolish extraterritoriality in China."
Saying "extraterritoriality" is a
serious problem at the state depart
ment light now. Chinese troubles
have been uppermost there for sev
eral weeks and 'extraterritoriality's'
their keynote, in many experts'
opinion, so It lias to be talked about
half the time.
Some of the department folk, by
constant effort and application,
have got It down pretty pat. Some
have trouble with it every time. A
few can't say it at all. '
It's delayed business appreciably,
if the efficiency bureau, which Is
deeply concerned in such matters,
Is to be believed. Delay s inefficient.
So the bureau asks, "Why not
' abandon tho darn word? In' future
let's Bay 'extraterritorial rights.' "
You gotta hand it to that bitreau.
It does think up the brightest
. things.

Here we are again, which is no
more 'than right, for if you don't

and finishing is the best part of this
idea.
Happened to be sitting in one of
the prominent barber . shops the
other day, when in walked a beard
ed old codger. Bearded is right; he
gave the appearance of just stick
ing his head out of a fern pot. He
sat down in the chair next to mine.
and the, barber, who Is quite a local
wit, asked him bow he would have
his moustache trimmed. The old
fellow looked at him for a minute,,
then said, "In silence." I suppose
I'll have to plead guilty to Inane
laughter, but there seems to be a
superabundance of barbers who
have tho longest line of uninvited
conversation in tho world, that it
docs your heart good to have one
of them quieted.

prominent ranchers of the Merrill
country is shopping and transacting

Tho Elks are once more back in
town, leaving the convention of
some renown, in Portland nearly a
week ago, and from what they say,
things weren't so slow. Also noticed
along my way that the parking
space grows less each day, along
in front of tho Central school. But
why do they sit there? It isn't cool.
I suppose it's n pretty hard habit
to break, to sit there all day about
half awake. It looks like a rather
hard place to sit, but the loafers
don't seem to mind It a bit. And
it Isn't peculiar to tbnt one spot,
for look iii the court yard, mid liko

maybe more. I hope this don't make
those fellows sore. Because It seems
from my point of view;, that thnt is
