TELLS THE WHY OF ADVERTISING TO
 HIS FELLOW COUNTY BUSINESS MEN

throughout the community where the little shop has been established
 If your goods are built with con- science; if your ambition is to rem der a worthy service to the people at large; if you are willing to sacri- flee a percentage of your profit in order that the quality of your mer- chandise and your efficient store service shall create standard, the same candle-pOwer of advertising will create rays of publicity ten times as powerful and far-reaching as those generated by the advertis- ing of unworthy things.
 Only the good In merchandise-as in men-can withstand the searching. unrelenting white light of continued publicity Advertising eternal klnd-is the reflected light of worthi- ness set in motion by the intelligence of honest men and merchants
 Mir Cannon lost his seat because his methods were advertised in a publication that was an intimate fac tor in the home, and old and well es- tablshed mercantile houses have been dashed to pieces against the rocks of bankruptcy. because they sought 10 control the business in their line and pursued a policy that would not withstand the searchlight of publicity, their methods were art ful unjust and deceitful and when the public gained a full knowledge of the purpose behind the method | they stampeded to the other mer- chants who had builded upon a foun- dation of honesty. integrity, econo- | my and efficient service.
 Advertising in itself is the surest

MOST OF MONDAYS
LOSS IS RECOVERED
Better Demand for Low
Grades in South-6 to II
Points Advance

New York. January 1s.-The cotton mar
ket recovered most OF Yesterdays loss
during today's trading. and closed very
steady at a net advance Of TO u points
The spot house selling of March and May,
which was one of yesterdays most prom
inent features, did not appear to be in
evidence on today's advance. while scat
tered buying was encouraged by reports
OF a better demand for low grades in the
south and talk of increased activity in the
domestic goods market. The market
opened steady at a decline of to Z
points under overnight selling orders
and in sympathy with the relatively
sti onger Liverpool cables.
Private cables attributed the decline in
the English market TO further hedge
selling, but said prices had been steadied
at the lower level by buying on account
of continental spinners fixing prices.
Eaily reports of hedge selling have
doubtless been discouraging factor from
the standpoint of recent buyers since the
publication of the ginning figures on Fri
day. They were apparently offset to
scme extent this morning. however. by
the reports of more interest on the part
OF the continent, ana the market soon
steadied up on covering or buying for n
reaction. Several reports were received
from the south claiming n better demand
for low grades and rumors that English
importers were finding the low grades a
better spinning value than they antict-
peted may also have contributed TO the
advance.
Demand did become active enough to
suggest any material broadening of trade
support, or outside buying, but offers
were very well taken on comparatively
slight reactions. and prices reached the
best point of the day in the later trading,
VIXEN present deliveries sold TO 13 points
net higher Closing prices were within
a point or two of the best.
IL is reported that New England mills
using high grade cotton ere well supplied,
and have been shifting their hedges from
March to July, while some of the south
ern mills are reported TO be buying more
freely.

BUYING DIVIDED
BETWEEN ACCOUNTS
SpotDemand at Many Points
in South a Main Bull
ish Influence

New Orleans, January 13.-Cotton did
better today on buying, which appeared
to be about equally divided between the
two accounts, although, at times, short
covering was more prominent than fresh
long buying. A better spot demand at
many points in the south was one of the
main bullish influences of the session, but
shorts covered more on the fear of bullish
consumption figures from the census bu-
reau tomorrow morning than on anything
else. Reports that idle steel plants were
resuming operations were another bul-
lish influence of the day.
On the opening the tone was steady and
prices were 4 points down in sympathy
with lower Liverpool cables than due, al
though the sales of 10000 bales on the
spot in the market offset to some extent
the effect of poor futures In the early
trading the decline was widened to 4 to
points but this was quickly recovered
and replaced by net advance.
Reports from spot centers in the south
stated that not only was the demand i'm
proved but that holders were not show
ing their usual willingness to meet the
market. Considerable long buying was
based on this and late in the morning
short covering was heavy, following the
announcement that the census figures on
December consumption of cotton in this
country would be issued the first thing
tomorrow morning. At the highest of the
morning the trading months were to
points up. In the afternoon the advance
amounted to 12 to IA points, the market
closing steady at rise of to IL points.

Some foreign buying of futures here
acted as a help to the bulls.
a big increase insthe worlds available
supply tended to Make the wheat mar
ket rather soft during the arst half of the
day. The temporary weakness was em-
phasized by favorable European crop adj
vices. Absence of complaint that there
had been crop injury by the cold wave
formed an offset, however; and prepared
the way for the subsequent increase and
demand. Resumption of selling led to a
development of bear sentiment regarding
corn. Heavier shipments were said to be
moving toward Chicago, but eastern call
appeared to be little if any enlarged Fur

EUFAULA MAY HAVE
COMMISSION FORM
Rum0red Citizens May Seek
Election to Give 1t
a Trial

Eufaula, January 13-(SpecaL lit is rli-
H.ored that an election on the commission
form of government for the city of Eu-
faula may be sought by number of citi-
zens before the time comes to elect a
new city administration. 1t is said that il
sufficient signatures are secured to a petit
ton for the election, primary for the
commissioners will be held at the same
time. The names of those who are sue
cessful in the primary in the event that
the election carries will be presented to
the governor for appointment.
An effort was made last spriag to se-
cure the commission form OF government
for Eufaula, but the petition failed of
enough signatures to have the
judge of probate TO order the election to
be held. If this second effort is made,
it will be successful, according to those
who favor the commission form as against
the present councilmanic city government.
The Glonola cotton mills have closed for
a short time in order that some repairs
can be made as well as a number of i'm
proven ents which will permit the mills
manufacturing an improved kind of cloth.
Local cotton men are paying little or
no attention to the New York and Liv-
rerpool future markets IN their buying,
but are paying much higher prices than
would be paid were the quotations based
OIL the future market. Despite the good
prices offered by the buyers, the grow
ers continue to hold their staple and the
stock at the two local warehouses is
gradually growing. 1t is not thought much
cotton will be turned loose here until
the farmers are offered 13 cents. the MAXI
mum price of the season that was Of
fered in October.
The farmers of Barbour county are pre-
pairing to take full advantage Of the soil
survey soon to be made by representa-
tives of the United States department Of

Further Loss in New York
Central a Feature of
Trading

New York. January 13-When it had
overcome an early tendency toward a
lower level stocks today held firm.
The market at times felt the effect of
free selling in places but offerings were
absorbed In spite of the underlying
strength no attempt was made to bring
about a continuation of yesterdays up
ward movement. Professional operators
were inclined to refrain from further
heavy compliments ON the long side a,
this time. preferring to await Washing
ton news of the. attitdee of the admin
istration toward antitrust legis alton.
It was thought the Presidents forth
coming message on this topic mlgE'
have important influence.
While the standard shares moved nai
rowiy some ordinary inactive stocks were
strong. Securities of independent steel
companies again made good showing
and there were further advances in the
fertilizer, petroleum and loca. tractteu
issues.
Texas company had a heavy relapse
from its high level on denial of the
report that the Standard oil interests WEI e

One feature of the trading was the
further loss in New York Central, which
brought down the price of that stock
temporarily to SS9s. This was its lowest
point since 1895.
