This hot weather seems deter
mined to last all winter, and it
is very bad for the clothing men,
as it is too late to sell summer
goods and too warm to sell win
ter and fall goods. But per-
haps when it does shut down for
cold weather it will be cold right.
Just as we go to press we
learn that the remains of Mrs.
Mary Noble will arrive in this
city this Thursday, and the
funeral will be conducted at the
Methodist church at 3 o'clock in
the afternoon. Mrs. Noble has
been with a sister in Durango,
Colo, for several months, but
died several days ago, and the
remains were shipped here to be
inferred beside the remains of
her husband, E. o. Noble.
L. d. Brewster returned Satur.
day night from a visit to his
mother and brothers at Montrose,
Col. Mr.. Brewster brought back
with him some samples of fruit
raised out in the Gunnison valley
in Colorado. He says irrigated
farm and fruit lands out there
bring from a thousand to twelve
hundred dollars per acre, and can
hardly be bought at all. Worms
in the fruit in that section are
never heard of at all. But Mr..
Brewster says Kansas is good
enough for him.

GREAT BRITAIN'S
COTTON PROBLEM

London, December IA. K Balfour
has written another letter for publication
dealing with the cotton problem. After
reference to the difficulties which are
looming up for Lancashire in obtaining
supplies of cotton and the more remote
but more formidable danger arising from
the fact that the time is approaching
when the United States will require all
home grown cotton for its own industries,
he lays down the principle that private
enterprise in extending the area OF supply
within the British empire should be sup
plemented by public aid. Among tariff
reformers the letter Is accepted as a
pledge that II the unionsts are victorious
in the general election Mr.. Balfour will
be willing to subsidize British grown cot
ton.

Initial Game of Season
viii BE Played TONIGHT

The regular season of basketball for the
club team starts tonight with a game be-
tween the Bessemer and Birmingham
Athletic clubs. Last year the local team
had little difficulty In defeating Besse-
mer, but the game this year promises to
be a hard battle from whistle to whistle.
Bessemer has been working hard for
the game, and so has the club, and
neither team can be called a weak team
this year.
While the club team has lost one or two
of its last year stars. there are plenty of
men from which to select material, and
the five men who will represent the club
are by no means tho i've who will hold
the same positions all thu year. Changes
are being made constantly, and while the
team work in the early games may suffer,
the benefit derived from the different
combinations will make the club team a
hummer.
Bessemer will be good opener. as they

ing men here received private advices to-

that James Coffroth is the man actually
behind the offer made by TEX" Richard
of Ely, New. and John j. Gleason of
this city. Instead of being depressed by
the news from New York, the close as
sociates Of Coffroth were elated when they
heard how the matter had been decided
1t Is well known that since his connec-
ton with the so-called flight trust" dur
ing the Schmitz-Ruef regime, Coffroth
duct fight within the city limits of San
Francisco. and for the reason constructed
his sunshine areana over the une in San
Mateo county. Until lately Coffroth was
on good terms with the supervisors of
that county, but some friction developed
when he made his last application for a
permit and 1t Is not believed his troubles
in that direction have been patched up.
For these reasons sporting men here
say that while Coffroth will remain the

fight, his name has not been directly

The period of waiting between the
sowing of advertising seed and the
reaping OF the sales harvest is often
an anxious time for the merchant
whose capital is limited.
To the small dealer, therefore, quick
returns are OF even greater impor-
tance than to the big one. He must
use rapid-fire mediums. The same
money that he invests in publicity to-
day must be available for reinvest
ment with the shortest possible de.
lay.

meeting his requirements. Attractive
