To the other favorable crop pros
poets must be added the prediction
that cotton is likely to show the
largest yield on record. There is gen
eral agreement by experts as to the
outlook for big supply, the estimates
placing the figures between 100000
and 100000 bales Should the latter
total be touched a new high water
mark" will be reached. The great cot
ton crops heretofore were 13,556,000
bales in 1905, 13,55O,OOO bales in 1907
and 1925, 846 bales in 1909. Notwith-
standing reports of ravages by the
boil weevil and of attempts at re-
gtricting the output cotton appears to
be on the gain-and America furnishes
the chief supply for the world.

known, perhaps, to the general pub
lie as a writer for the magazines,
has an article in a recent issue of his
paper that contains hunks" of solid
truth, and should be read and ponder
ed over by people who p~atronize mail
order houses. He takes a turn at
those who buy hats, neckties, cook
stoves, drygoods, clothing, agricultu-
raj implements and various kinds of
supplies in Chicago or st. Louis, who
send their women to these cities by
train to buy tailor made suits, ETC.,
or send their orders to mail order
houses and thus escape contributing
their share to the prosperity Of their
home city.
The man who buys goods Of a
mail order house and expects his
neighbor in Emporia to buy goods of
him, or to buy labor Of him, is eco
nomically a leech. He is sucking in
dustrIai blood out of the town and
gives none back. He sends his prof
its out of town like a Chinaman, and
he has no more right to 3 standing
in the community than a foreigner.
We are all neighbors industrially in
this town, and the man who sends
away for his goods is not one of US.
He is Of another industrial system
and deserves no mans support in En-
poria.
The fact that this is economically
wrong is recognized by the mail or
der houses themselves. They pro-
|tect their customers as thieves by
offering to keep people from know
ing where the mail order goods come
from. The mail order houses have
no tags on their goods. They say
in their catalogues that rome of
their goods are marked where bought.
If it is proper to hide the place of
purchase Of an article i. is wrong to
buy the article at that place. Only
the man who steals is ashamed to
say where he got anything he has.

He joined the church a week ago;
twas with q repentant face;
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1910-01-08

He fell from grace while trying hard
to put the stovepipe up!
