THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

Granted tnaJ LnlS sum was the
result of an appeal to the SYM
pathies of the audience was not
the result of an impassioned ora
ton, rabbi Magnes himself says
as much-it was a remarkable
demonstration of liberality. More
significant is the fact that it has
been possible to secure pledges Of
an additional amount of $4,000
from those who did not hear the
details of suffering.
The most impressive figure of all
is that representing the total num-
Der of donors = approximately
1900. According to the files Of
the central office there are still
some $500 known Jews and Jew
esses to be called upon, not to men
ton the children who can and will
contribute their mites.
This week was week of rest for
our solicitors. Pursuant to in
structions from the national COM
mittee in New York there was a
complete cessation Of collecting
during the week of June 18th to
25th out Of patriotic interest in and
respect for the American Red
Cross. In this and in their Red
Cross contributions Minneapolis
Jews did themselves proud. Know
ing as they do that the work of
Jewish war relief compliments but
does not duplicate that of the Red
Cross, the latter was given the
right of way, and many liberal
sums were subscribed.
Minneapolis Jews, then, may be
said to have paid their debt to Red
Cross needs. Now let the work of
Jewish war relief go forward with
augmented impetus. There is no
limit to the need, and there should
be no limit to the interest.
One fact should be borne in
mind. No one carries the burden
of the Jew except the Jew. We
quote from Nathan Straus' speech
before war relief concert in New
York. "Get list of those who
give, but get also a list of those
who do not give. Make list that
you can put up, talk about, and tell
your friends about. Nothing
makes men loosen up their purse
strings so much as octracism. You
will shame every man into CIV
ing"
Let's make that unnecessary in

SPOT MARKET FIRM,
 FUTURES ADVANCE
Close Is Steady at a Net Advance 0f 37 to 60 POints-Continued Good Spot Demand Reported in Southwest.

New York, Sept. Continued re- ports of relatively firm spot situa- ton seemed to inspire more active covering by both local and foreipn shorts in the cotton market today. December contracts sold up to 20.60. making an advance of 42 points above last nights close and of 70 points from yesterdays low level. That de- livery closed at 2O.5S bid, with the general list closing very steady at a net advance of 37 to SO points.
 The market opened steady at an advance of 5 to 10 points on bullish overnight spot advices and sold about IA to 19 points net higher right after the call. There was realizing enough to cause some irregularity at this level, but slight reactions were fol- lowed by renewed strength on active buying by houses with Liverpool con- nection, local and scattered covering. There were rumors of buying for New England account on the advance which extended to POOP for October and 20.4S for January during the middle of the day.
 Reactions of 10 or 15 points fol- lowed under realizing promoted by the favorable view of weak conditions and expectations of increasing East ern belet receipts, but covering con- tinued with the market reaching the highest levels of the day in the late trading when October sold at 20.74 and January at 20.50. The close was within point or two of the best. A continued good spot demand was re- ported in the Southwest with buyers said to be paying very stiff basis to secure September shipments.
 Cotton closed very steady.

PAGES WEEKLY LETTER
That Wheat Crop-PreparatiOn and
 Planting

Little Rock, Sept. 18.-Now that farmers are going to SOW more wheat this year, careful attention must be given to the seeding in order to insure the maximum yield.
 A good clay, or loam soil will grow wheat well. A thin sandy soil will not give best results. Land of good fer tility should be used. Too often farm CTS pick out the poorest spot on the farm.
 The land should be broken deep if 1t can be done early. About five inches will be deep enough if late. After corn or peas discing or culti- vating will be sufficient if the soil is not packed too hard. The seed bed should be solid. This can be secured by proper narrowing, or dragging. All clods should be broken and the soil leveled before seeding is done. Sowing seed on rough land or break ing it in nearly always results in failure.
 Two hundred and fifty pounds of acid phosphate or about 200 pounds of high grade commercial fertilizer per acre will usually prove profitable. These fertilizers should be applied when the wheat is sown.
 Seed during the last two weeks of October in the southern half of the state, and about two weeks earlier in the northern part. Late seeding may winter-kill. With present high price of seed perhaps bushel and a peck per acre will be enough on a good seed bed, although bushel and g half will often give better results.
 Use drill if one con be secured Drilled wheat does not kill out b, winter freezing as badly as tha

 Banks, Wholesale, Commission, Real Estate, Retail, Insurance, etc. Each student IS engaged in real. active ouslness, learning to do by doing. Every entry made by the student dur Ing ms entire course is originated by an actual sale or purchase; it may be gram, It may be groceries, dry goods, real estate or stock in a corporation. but the transaction is really perform ca and every paper required in the transaction, whether check. note draft, receipt, mortgage, deed or what not, is filled out by the student. Part hershp contracts are drawn up and agreed upon between the parties forming the company. Articles of in- corporation are drawn up. Through these practical methods the student learns business as well as bookkeep- ing; they learn how to meet one an other face to face and transact busi- ness In business way, instead of copying theoretical transactions from text book as is done in every other commercial, school in the state. It takes more teaching force and better teachers to teach our systems and they must be well informed on busi- ness customs. When a student learns to do thing by actually doing it, he learns it thoroughly, and with our practical, face to face business meth ods we are able to give the student a thorough course of both bookkeeping and business training in less time than he could possibly get the theory, or so-called practical bookkeeping alone in other schools.
 We will give a free scholarship in the school of your choice to anyone finding another school teaching both bookkeeping and business through practical business transaction as we do. Similar practical methods are

orDIERS ASLEEP IN
 WOODEN BUILDINGS SAFE
n.rcer Minimized by Many Re- in s.rkabIe Measure at Camp Pike
 and Other Cantonments.

4.o citizen-soldiers housed in the VI wbat has Uncle Sam done to pro- .,,,sonds of wooden buildings of the .n"ntrv,s cantonments, from the ever uresent danger of fire?
 To make long story short-and it
 lono story-Uncle Sam has availed himself of the fre-prevention hro;rs of the country and has done monders of fre-prevention and fire ,rotection work and what he has done sbonld be an object lesson to the peo- nle of the United States.
 Camp Pike at Little Rock, with it's many hundreds of wooden buildings is striking example of what is being done in all the cantonments and if the npblc could be brought to realiza- i'm of true conditions Uncle Sam's ovample would be widely followed.
 The precautions began before ever q nail was driven. The very manner in which the buildings were laid out with wide open spaces or "fire-breaks and the way the buildings are con structed took into consideration the havoc that would be wrought by fire developing into a confagration.
 The camp has a fine fire depart ment with three motor trucks and three stations, an elaborate fire alarm system and watch tower, many hose houses, thousands of chemical fire extingushers and ladders to every roof. Every piece of wiring, every fue and stove is placed accord ing to the advice of fre-prevention experts, and on the same definite spe- cifcations available to the general public and to every architect and con- tractor in Arkansas.
 Through the National Board of Fire Underwriters experts have been sent to every cantOnment and their hre-prevention knowledge is officially recognized by Uncle Sam and they are constantly called into consulta- ton by the military authorities. The services of the engineering force of the Arkansas Actuarial Bureau and the personal work of J. S. Speed, manager of the Bureau and recog- mzed tire-preyention experet, were placed at the disposal of the govern ment and utilized
 And not a building is insured! Strange as it might appear all of the activity of the insurance interests to asst Uncle Sam in making his camps nre-resistive is based on something besides selfish motives. because Uncle Sam carries his own risk-not the Underwriters.
