BOYCOTT OF GERMANS BY
BRITISH is FOOLISH
(By United Press)

Buenos Aires, Nov. 25 (By maiD-
The Englishman who boycotts Ger
mans too vigorously in countries where
both are aliens is simply cutting off
his nose to spite his face, according
to the Buenos Aires Herald, one of tile
two or three important British news
papers in South America.
The Herald argues in a recent is
size that the Britons who stay out Of
places which Germans frequent, be-
cause they do not wish to associate
with the latter, are not only not wor-
rying their rivals, but are doing ex-
actly what the Germans want them to
do
The German. it points out. "is to
be found in the clubs, the restaurants
and in the private houses, and if Brit
islers give these places the go-by ow-
ing to the presence of a German ele-
ment, so much the better for the Ger
man plan of active preparation for the
close of the war"

cf CaleXico. There will be S100 di-
vided among eleven numbers. The
contests will not all be of athletic
prowess, as many are of an educa-
tional nature. The Washington Sig
nal Company is to erect wireless sta
tion and there will be another ma
chine gun demonstration. Mounted
ga mnastics will play an important role
in the program.
There will be all kinds of foot races
and freak affairs 10 provide plenty of
diversion and interest. There will be
spoon and potato races, hobbled races,
etc. The members of the Woman's
Improvement Club have worked indus
triously for the success of the big

ton on the border.

What the Boy Wanted for
His Christmas Present.

Say, dad, what are you going to
give me for Christmas" said one
youngster here the other day, and
when asked what it was that he want
ed most, he replied that it was lot
in the new subdivision Of East Cali
patria. .~F{ %
Il heard couple Of men talking the
c'her day about how cheap these lots
were now, and how much could be
made on them, if person would only
buy and hold one of them for a few
years, and ! made up my mind that
that was just what / wanted fer a
Christmas present.
"The toys and things which | usu-
ally get soon break and wear out ard
are forgotten anyway, but the reali-
zstion that ] had lot in Calipatria
IN my name would be a further incen-
tive for me to save whatever money
could.
when ] grow up, may want to
20 10 colIege or l may want TO start
Up in business, and the money that
could realize on such a small invest
ment as you might make for me now
would enable me to get good start
in life.
Besides, it does not take very much
money to do this, as ] heard these
men say that lots were selling there
now for as low at 5000, and it Only
takes $40 in cash; then you can pay
the balance in one, two and three
years.

each. This week a candidate could
gain many thousands Of extra votes
by securing two or more clubs of five
subscriptions for year or more each,
but such an opportunity will not be
afforded again, as it has been the
aim in this contest to give every pos
sible advantage to the contestants who
enter early and do their best every
day, rather than to those who mi light
try TO win by the use of personal
funds The Press is seeking a large
number Of new subscriptions rather
than a few for long terms. The aim
of the contest is chiefly to increase
the circulation of the paper.
A Rare Opportunity
Few of even the most successful
business men make $3.50 week. Yet
that is what some candidate is doing
right now. Four candidates will win
prizes that will net them as much as
S25 q week for the time they spend
on the contest from now until the end
Two will make double that amount
while the auto winner will be re-
warded at the rate of $3.50 a week
Fathers, brothers and other men
folk OF the families of some popular
candidates are beginning to realize
trat it is well worth while to put in
little of their own time in assisting
in the contest. There are only few
active candidates and those candi-
dates will all win big prizes. 1t de
pends upon the candidates and their
friends to determine which is going
10 win the S1050 Studebaker, and
which the $3.50 cash prize. No one
can possibly fail to be well rewarded
for the amount of time and effort
put forth, but a few days delay in
getting started may make vast diff
ference in the prize won on January

ing upon the situation. It should be
stated in this connection that the Ru-
raj Loan Banks will be in active op-
Grafton next year. They will give
standing in the finanial market to a
great volume of highly valuable COL
lateral that has never before been
recognized. The fact is, cur banking
laws have heretofore legislated
against its recognition. It is most re-
assuring that these banks arc sur
rounded by wise laws which will con-
serve their usefulness and practical
t. guarantee their stability. It means
for the agricultural community, in q
sense, a vast amount of liquid capital
always and easily available, and at a
low rte Of interest.
This low rate Of interest and long
time payments safely removes the
products of Southern farms from the
field of enforced liquidation. Hence
tie law, in way, guarantees that
these products will be sold at their
full intrinsic value, which forecasts
great fina1cia independence. So dis
tress in the spot division is hardly a
reasonable expectation.
The break came after this letter was
printed 1t was due to causes named.

Cotton Economics.
BY W. w. Morrison.

1t is we'll. at this time to review
some of the influences that can be
expected to be adverse to the market
for some months to come.
During the month Of December
here IS a reluctance to assume new
obligations. 1t is due to a desire,
more or less general, to even up and
get a better understanding Of ones
business. This is usually reflected in
an easier, and often in declining
market. This December finds prices
at new levels. The public mind has
not become adjusted to these new
conditions. Hence it seems reason
able to expect that this reactionary
feeling would be more in evidence
than it has been heretofore. In fact,
it is probable that recent declines were
due to this, rather than to any es-
sential weakness in the position of
cotton.
The interest in acreage, next year
is increasing. 1t will come sharply
into evidence after the first of Janu-
ary. Sensational and spectacular eX-
aCgerations are to be looked for. The
Impression of an enormous area is al
most certain to get abroad. While a
considerable increase is a reasonable
expectation, it will hardly be so large
as the public will expect. The mar
ket, however, will have to contend
with this exaggerated impression for
some months to come. The trend of
events in Europe, it should be stated
in this connection, indicates that po-
l;tical developments viii also likely
be against the market, especially du-
rirg the months Of December and
January.
These are Developments for which
very trader should be prepared. The
future market viii probably be far
more sensitive to these things than
the spot market. 1t is logical to ex-
pect spot cotton to continue to main
tain the equipoise and supremacy that
it has maintained during the last two
years, and conspicuously so, during
this prevailinr period Of higher lev
els. Every tine future contracts have
declined below spots, the recovery has
been notably prompt. 1t is reason
able to expect this feature Of the
market to continue.
The spot market can be expected
also to sanely adapt Itself to condi-
tions as they develop. The recent
manifestations Of It's attitude indi-
cate consistent resistance along
Sound lines, to any drastic break below
current prices. II there is a decline
in spcts. the decline Is ant to be slow
and orderly. For this reason we be-
lieve. as we have believed for many
months, that the spot market Will con
tinue to be the safest guide to ven
lures into. the future market The
financial Strength Of the South can be
expected to be continuously ana DELI
n!tely reflected in the spot market.
