The total exports to all countries in 1938 were 4,316,000 bales, which compared with 6,221,000 bales, the yearly average for the previous five years and an average of 7,641,000 bales for the five-year period 1927- 1932. Government agencies and leaders in the trade are working toward policies which, it is hoped, will bring about a reversal of this trend. In the meantime, the relative im portance of American industry, as the chief consumer of American cotton, has been increasing. In view of the unfavorable export situation, efforts are being re doubled to increase domestic con sumption, which in 1938, amounted to 6,783,465 bales. Chief among these are the promotions behind National Cotton Week, May 22 to May 27, and the extensive research work being done to develop new uses for the staple. In the latter connection, encour aging progress is reported, accord ing to a review in the current issue of The Arcadian Grower, farm magazine published by the distrib utors of Arcadian nitrate of soda. The Grower further points out that among ♦the recent develop ments, which today are increasing the domestic consumption of cotton One slightly used Kelvinator Refrigerator in good condition at a very reasonable price.

How Inflation L 5 Hits Your Savings By RAYMOND PITCAIRN 1 National Chairman r I—. ■ Sentinels of the Republic — “The very man who has the deepest interest in sound currency is the man who earns his daily bread by his daily I toil.” Daniel Webster said that nearly a century ago. His statement was true in his time, It was true years earlier, and It is true today. France proved its verity as early as 1796, when currency inflation forced y workers and wage-earners to pay the equivalent of $9 for a pound of bread and of S4O for a bushel of potatoes. Germany proved it shortly after the World War when inflation wiped out I utterly the average worker’s savings, and sky-rocketed the prices of every thing save the barest necessities of life far beyond Ills reach. 1 Russia proved it when her revolutlon , ary leaders used Inflation to help drag every worker down to a state of regi ” mented and dependent penury. In every instance currency inflation hurt the worker and helped the specu lator. Always It crushes the thrifty and exalts the gambler. How? 4 It achieves this effect not by reducing , the number of dollars in the earner's pay-envelope or savings account or f insurance estate, but by reducing the actual purchasing power of those dol lars. It means that out of the same income—or savings—he must pay far more for food and elothes and shelter and everything else he buys. s That’s fine for the well-heeled specu f lator who profits by buying in a low 1 market and selling at inflated prices. But It’s hard on the worker—or on his widow and children if he has entrusted their future to Insurance or savings 1 funds accounts, as most American wage-earners do. 5 How can the average worker and { citizen escape this menace? Well, as history has proved, the blight of inflation descends on a nation in one of two ways. It may be adopted deliberately as a method of raising prices. But more often It comes as a result of straining government re -1 sources through extravagance and debt. , Force the politicians to eliminato „ waste and the piling up of public debt— ' and you remove this threat at the earn ings, the savings and the security of every worker and his family. X i The Youth in Business By C. E. Johnston Dean, School of Business International Correspondence Schools 1 tjOUTINE workers whether in the IV office or the factory perform functions necessary to the com- E munity, but their numbers are so great that their remuneration is small and their social importance seldom recognized. The young man who wishes to be something more 1 than a routine worker must train ; himself for higher positions. There are many subjects dealing with ’ business which it may be advan tageous for him to study. One of the most important of these is Ac countancy. No one course of training gives so wide a knowledge of the major acti vities of business as Accountancy. In addition, Accountancy affords a training in rigid thinking and in habits of accuracy and thoroughness that are essential to business suc cess. Moreover, the operation of every department, however small, is based on facts and figures which are sup plied by the accounting department. Management judges the success of every department head by facts and figures supplied by accounting. The person who expects sometime to be In charge of other people must be come accountancy minded and the best way he can do this is through training in accounting. !■ Business Guides ; By C. E. Johnston j > Director, Business Training Schools, International Correspondence Schools IDEAS for Improvement of a prod uct or the operation of a busi ness often come front employes. The prudent employer always Is eager to learn of new ideas. He encourages his workers to make suggestions. There have been in stances where a company has re ceived and adopted suggestions without rewarding the originators In any manner. This leads to 111- feeltng and sometimes even to seri ous labor trouble. Credit should always be given to employes when it Is warranted. Employe loyalty will result. > Most forward-looking business owners and operators encourage employes to improve themselves by study. Thousands of firms recom mend certain courses of training and pay part or all of the cost. This interest in the employe shows prof its for the employer because it re sults In ambitious, industrious workers always being available to fill positions which require an un usual knowledge or exceptional skill. There is no substitute for a’ trained worker or office employe. In these days the employer cannot devote the time necessary to train employes for advanced positions, instead, he encourages them to train themselves by study. • * * > Higher positions are always In the reach of those qualified to fill them. The employe who acquires ability to fulfill more than his pres ent duties, already has started on the road to success. If there is any “secret” of success, it is to be pre pared when an opportunity comes. The wise business executive knows the persons in his organization who are capable of holding better Jobs. The wise employe makes sure he is capable of holding a better job by training himself while occupying his present position. ; Hints to Gardeners by Lyman White • Flower Expert Ferry Seed Institute Selecting Garden Flowers SOME of the easiest flowers to grow, those advised for the flower gardener without much ex perience, are the nasturtium, alys sum and California poppy. Jlf you are interested in getting brilliant color in your garden with a minimum of effort, try growing petunia and zinnia They require quite a bit of care early in the sea son, but once established they grow luxuriantly, and nothing provides more color. Portulaca is excellent for a colorful edging, and cosmos good for backgrounds. • For rock garden growth try some of the following: African daisy, alyssum, llnaria, lobelia, phlox, sta tice, verbena and Virginia stock, emong the annuals, and hardly alys sum, columbine, English daisy, forget-me-not and Iceland poppy, of the perennials. For a window box, petunia, nas turtium, lobelia, ageratum, pansy, annual phlox and verbena are effective. Quick blooming flowers are the nasturtium, Virginia stock, zinnia, sunflower, bachelor’s button and alyssum. Even though you may have ex perienced trouble with wilt or rust, you still may grow aster and snap dragon. There are rust-resis'tant strains of snapdragon and wilt resistant strains of aster. Seeds of certain flowers will ger minate more readily if the seed coat is cut or nicked. Care must be taken to cut only the coat, tor injury of the interior portion of the seed ■ may destroy it. Canna lily, all types of morning glory, perennial and an nual sweet peas, lupin and moon flower are some of the seeds that may be thus treated. Overnight soaking in warm water will also aid the germination of these seeds. • Hints For Motorists By Joseph R. Rollins The Atlantic Refining Company Scratches and chipped spots on the finish of a car provide an entry for rust and its damaging ef fects. Instead of trying to paint them over in the ordinary way, which usually gives a spotty effect, clean the surface with gasoline and then gently rub in a small amount of paint with a soft cloth. The paint will fill in the marred spots, but can be wiped off the surrounding surfaces. * ♦ ♦ Paint streaks on the fenders, due to rubbing against garage doors or other causes, can usually be re moved with tar remover. Wipe the tar remover over the marks and let it remain for a little while. Then rub off with a soft cloth, rubbing in the same direction as the streaks, not across them. Hello, Chicago!
