Former Secretary Of Newark
Body Urges A
Campaign
WANTS MT. VERNON TO
TAKE PART In DRIVE
Lauds Credit But Says Beats
Strike AT Foundation OF
Business

"Plugging Community Leaks" as
outlined by George H. Mosser of New
ark state manager of the Commercial
Protective Association of Ohio, before
the membership council of the Cham
Der OF Commerce at Wednesdays
luncheon, was one of the most force
full talks given in Mt Vernon in
years.
1t was the second time Mr.. Mosser
has spoken to the local trade body
on community work. Recently he re-
signed the managership of the New
ark Chamber of Commerce to give all
his time to a system devoted to col
lections and credits, which is in op.
Grafton in ten states of the Union.
Among the Ohio states using it sue.
cessfully are Newark, Chillicothe, Cir
clcville, Jackson, Washington G. Fl.
and others. 1t has been Investigated
by Secretary l.. G. Mayer of the local
chamber.
After paying his respects to the
community crouch, the tightwad and
the knockcr, Mr. Mosser declared that
the greatest drain to any town is
the community parasite-the dead
beat. He said:
Credit is the foundation of civili-
zation We trust each other or we
could not do business. Without it
we would return to the stone age,
when our primitive ancestors held
articles for barter in one hand and
! their weapons of defense in the 9th.
/ cr. Whoever helps break down cred
/ 1t, the mutual bond Of trust and con
| lidcnce, is helping destroy that which
makes modern life possible, and must
be corrected for the common good.
More business and professional
men go into bankruptcy because they
do not collect their bills than from
any other source. This is IL great
community waste and in this day OF
conservation, when our country is
fighting for its existence, must be
/ eliminated II we are to win.
"Only by an organized drive can
/ Mt. Vernon bring the dcad-beats and
moral derelicts to realization OF
their responsibility to their fellowmen
and it must be done in an economical
way to be effective"
Mr., Mosser briefly explained the
workings OF the Commercial Protect
i've association system and predicted
it would turn thousands of dollars
from dead loss to live assets, if the
business and professional men would
cooperate in the campaign to be put
on at once. The campaign, in this
case, will be in charge of Frank j
Pearson of Pittsburgh, a member o

rudiments Of bayonet fighting
"The idea in bayonct combat Is to
get your man and escape yourself"

draw him in, knowing just what you
want to do, and when you make him
miss, you've got Hun on your knife.
The big idea in boxing is the same.
If yoI know the boxing game it is
going to be very easy to learn the

Kilbanc thinks Americans. particu.

man will cost $4,000. That doesn't
take into consideration any Of the
other things. which will cost cOnsid-
crably more.
Draftces at the camp already are
beginning to talk about Christmas. It
isn't so much about what they will or
hope to get as IT Is wonder about how
they will get what is intended for
them. Santa Claus will have some
job filing each army sock at Camp
Sherman and not the least Of that job
will be to get gifts to the camp. Postal
authorities already are working on
plans for handling enormous quanti-
ties OF parcel post matter. They be-
lieve that twice or three times as
many gifts will come to the selective
draft men here as would be sent to
10000 ordinary civilians
Newspaper men were taken to all
Y. NJ G. \. regimental buildings one
night recently so they could get an
idea of what was taking place.
In one building, Mrs. Lillian Burt
was delivering temperance lecture; !;
in another three singers were conduct
ing concert program; in another
men of the 330th regiment were being
paid off, with the captain, lieuten-
ants and two sergeants on guard; in
another a lively boxing contest was
on between two live wires and the
place was jammed and packed with
the shouting adherents of one or the
other party to the bout. in another the
Y. NJ. c. a. director was conducting a
rehearsal of the orchestra which is
being formed in one of the batteries; (;
in one OF the buildings Mrs. King of
Tronton, was giving a program of reci-
tations: in the main y. NJ. c. \. au-
ditOrium the Sank brothers were hav-
ing a rehearsal for the military min
strcl show which they are planning to
put on in about two weeks, and in an
other the officers of one regiment and
their women folks were having a
dance.
In addition to all this, there wcrc
thousands Of boys busy writing let
ters home. while in one building
where pay dag had just occurred, the
postal department of the Y. NJ. G.. A
was piled high with bundles which
the boys had started home to their
/ folks.
The Y. NJ. c. A. buildings in each
regiment are great places for the sol
dcrs and a big per cent spend their
spare time in them. Nearly 100 "G'
workers are throwing all the power of
personality. good fellowship and 9th
er qualities which earned them the
right to come to the Army Y. NJ. c. y
as officers, toward making camp life
pleasant and free from despondency
and homesickness. 1t is far from
town and there would be little else for
the men to do at night were it not
for these well-regulated places. As
it is, the men manage to have good
and profitable time. They would al
most as soon go without their pay as
lose their "I".

SHARP ADVANCE IN
 PRICE OF COTTON
Closed Very Steady With Net Advance All Along
 the Line

New York, January 5.--The cotton mar ket was more active today and there was a sharp advance in prices, with May con- tracts selling up to 1s24c and closing at 1S.2Sc. The general list closed very steady
 at a net advance of S7 to 43 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to 10 points in response to ,, relatively firm cables Early press ad- vices seemed to create more optimistic view of peace prospects and the market continued to improve after the opening on a broadening commission house demand, and renewed buying by spot houses Re
 ports that foreign trade interests were buying new crop months seemed a factor
 In the more favorable idea of peace nego-
 tlations, while considerable attention was attracted by the arrival here of southern
 newspapers containing large advertise
 ments urging southern holders to demand still higher prices. After showing a net auVance or about B to 40 points, the
 market reacted 10 or 12 points under real izing, but offerings were readily absorbed, and prices reached the best point of the day In the late trading. January and Oc- tooer contracts were relatively firm, the former position selling up to 17S0c or 45 points above last nights closing figures while later deliveries sold 3S to fl points net higher. Closing prices were within point or two of the best. While there was better demand from outside
 sources, local brokers attributed the buy Ing largely to spot houses, and part of it
 was said to be in the way of fixing prices Tor domestic spinners. No change was reported in the ocean freight or war risk situation, but the talk around the ring here suggested increased confidence in the spot markets which was supposed to be reflected in the strength of the near po- sition. It was rumored that private re- turns showed a ginning of Il, ,040000 bales to the end of December but the figures appeared to attract little attention. Pri- vate cables reported a good tone in Liver pool on better trade inquiry for both spots and forward shipment

REVIEW OF COTTON
 MARKET FOR WEEK

l New York, January 5.-A steadier tone has developed in the cotton market dur l ing the past week on reports of an im- proving spot demand and continued stead mess in the interior May contracts,
 which had sold at 17.S6c on the Friday before New Years, touched IS. 24c during today's trading and closed tonight at IS. 23c, compared with 16. .45c, the low level ,of last month. Trading has not been particularly active The uncertainties of export conditions and international af-
 fairs. generally. have been regarded a
 restriction on general business, but to-
 ward the close of the week there was rath- CT a more favorable feeling as to peace prospects, accompanied by some broad enlng Of commission house demand. The
 action of the British government in- creaslng the per cent of the ocean freight room requisitiohed for grain and munf-
 tons, has been followed by very small oHerngs of tonnage and the ocean freight rate from New York to Liverpool is now quoted nominal at s2.5O per hun dled, while war risks have remained firm
 Any definite outlook for an early end or the war would naturally overshadow
 the precent scarcity of ocean tonnage
 however, and exporters are said to have been treer buyers in the south. Reports
 from Galveston have indicated a con siderable demand from Japanese interests
 while advices from New Orleans have foreshadowed increased exportsSto Havre
 and there have been renewed rumors If German buying for shipment after the end of the war. The relative frmness of October coptracts, which are now sell
 ns within 120 points of July compared with difference of 225 points at one time during the season. has been ascribed largely to buying by foreign trade ln- terests against forward requlrementa. This demand ssems to have been partly
