Chicago, Aug. 13.—Africa’s famous Ivory Cost, lure of the adventurer and the missionary, is fast giving way be fore the needs of western commerce. From trade in elephant’s tusks to cocoa beans is a far cry, yet that is what has happened in the 129,000 square mile stretch of the Ivory Coast colony, according to Walter C. Hughes, secretary of the National Confection ers’ Association, in an address here. “Civilization has come to the Ivory Coast as a result of the world demand for sweets,” declared Mr. Hughes. “Opening up of this vast cocoa pro ducing region will unquestionably change the aspect of the cocoa busi ness in the next few years. Candy manufacturers are dependent on the labor of people in many lands for the sugar, nuts, cocoanut, fruits, cocoa, milk, butter, and other nutritious foods that go into the making of con fectionery. Increased consumption of candy, especially in the United States, which has been brought about by a wider appreciation of its value as a food, has made it necessary to seek new fields for raw products. “The Ivory Coast has benefitted wonderfully already as a consequence of this need. Modern agricultural methods and tools have been installed on the cocoa plantations, a railroad has just been completed from Abidjan on the c’oast of Mankaro, a great mod ern wharf and breakwater for the loading of steamers is being construct ed and many square miles of jungles have already been transformed into arable acres.” COTTON DRESS CONTEST.
