Domestic manufacturers urge higher duties on imported carton cloth to curb sharp price drops, but warn wage gaps in Japan lessen any real protection for American cotton goods. The National Wool Manufacturers Association appeals to the Tariff Commission, arguing duties should reflect American selling prices rather than foreign costs, citing Japan’s much lower hourly wages. If tariffs fail, policy may restrict trade, risking raw cotton exports that boost domestic producers. Britain’s M. P. H. Proctor, visiting, weighs in on the issue.

By adding about 1,000,600 high school graduates and 130,000 to 140,000 college graduates to the current unemployed total, the agency says the labor market will absorb many graduates soon. It argues education remains essential and that employers are increasingly hiring trained youths.

Widespread termite discussion explains these insects as the largest wood destroyers, their mating surge in nuptial season, and their stealthy tunneling from ground to wood.

The piece ends by promoting a termite booklet available for five cents.
A garbled passage features quotes attributed to Thy Burgeon Jotaon of the Hugiah Department in Schenectady New Jersey and Clyde Beatty on training animals. The text reads like a stray OCR with misheard names and jumbled words, reflecting a quirky newspaper blurb.
The poem recalls Walt Mason aging, resenting endless birthday cheers as neighbors throng each year. Nine hundred candles and thumps on his back symbolize a burdensome, comical aging rite. Copyright 1898 by The George Matt singing Adams Barvor.
