' ,cToRIEs WOULD BUY
 BuTTONS FROM JOBBERs

The government demand for large antities of buttons has led Ameri-
 m sn commissioners to attempt to pur- m ,.o hack the stocks of wholesalers ad iobbers of buttons at the price alod the cutting-up trade in order |to fill government acquisitions prompt |lv The figures furnished by the bu- .oo, of foreign and domestic com ,orce show also that there has been oreater demand abroad for buttons made in this country. The exports of buttons and parts from the United c+otes for the fiscal year ending June Qo 1917. amounted to $1 1882, ,1O4, as comnared with $1,9O2,556 in 1916, and s654,372 in 1914.
 Buttons, especially the larger sizes, 4O to 55 line, such as are used on over coats of metal, horn or vegetable ivory. are now much wanted. The demand has not only absorbed the American product but has apparently stimulated the import trade in but |tons.

 "Do as I do. You must forget the war. Don't think about it at all and just make up your mind that you have somewhere three sons that are all coming back to you safe and sound. This is the surest way not to 's'enca- farder' as we say. If we should pity ourselves as you pity us, we who are under the direct stroke of the war. we would have been a long time dead and buried. So, no more worrying eh? Let the war take care of itself, it's something we have nothing to do with"

OWNER OF ST. JAMES
SUED AS BANKRUPT
Green's Proprietor Among Pc
titioners With Heavy Claims
Against Stafford

An aftermath Of the appointment of
receivers for the St. James and Green's
hotels by Common Pleas Courts early
this week is the filing of a petition in
bankruptcy against John Stafford, a
builder, 1112 Chestnut street.
When receivers were appointed for
the hotels, it was declared they were
solvent, but that as the result of large
real estate investments they found diff
ficulty in continuing business owing to
the lack of ready money.
Mr.. Stafford, the heaviest owner in
the st. James, became involved through
his inability to meet maturing obliga-
tlons, causing also a temporary embar,
rassment to Mahlon w. Newton, proprie-
tor OF Green's Hotel. Mr.. Newton was
the indorser on notes of Mr.. Stafford to
the extent of 100000, and in the bank
ruptcy proceedings filed In the United
States District Court today Mr.. New.
ton is one of the petitioning creditors.
An allegation is made in the petition
against Mr. Stafford that he is insCl-
vent, and as a formal act of bankruptcy
it is asserted that he made preferential
payments of S22666 to the PHILADELPHIA
Electric Company and $230.50 to the
Guarantee Trust Company.
The petition was filed by Attorney
Arthur G. Dickson on behalf of w. II.
and c. w. Allen. with a claim fer
Ss223.56 for merchandise Mr.. Newton,
presenting a claim of 100000 represent
ing loans, advances and accommodations
to Stafford; and Henry j. Walter
$40, 900, the amount of two promissory
notes made by Stafford.
Counsel for creditors. 1t is understood
will ask the Federal Court "Wednesday
to appoint receiver for Mr.. Stafford,
