\ Cotton Famine In Sight

The entire belt is infested with in

English spinners say the South made
great mistake in reducing the
acreage: that ENGLISH spinuers want

whole crop. They are furnishing
German spinners cotton To spin ir-
TO yarn. on commission, and need
2.OOO.O 600 bales. or more, for thar
purpose. The mills OF the United
States want 100000 bales Japan
and Canada at least 100000 bales.
This makes l5.5Q0.000 bales All
want better grade OF cotton than
last years carry-over. France italy
Belgium. Germany and other coun-
,rios need four TO six million bales.
The carry-over 81 spinabel cotton
is estimated to be about 100000
bales. There is an eighteen to
twenty million bale demand and q
possible 100000 supply. The

up as an active member when the
committee gets to him in the next

Cities in the west compete for
place just as individuals in a COM
munity do. Each has to produce
something of value to be worth gen
eral attention. A city may be for
gotten, just as men are. 1t is always
because the value of the city or the
man has gone below par.
A business can extend just so fast
and as it grows it makes places for
the chosen few and spends money on
them. There is not enough progress
to go around and give every city a
high place. In order to be one Of the
choice places community must be
up in improvements and in business.
The community must have work.

Asks Execution
of Fourteen Elk

San Ffancisco's public and parochial
school students are saving nearly
1886 a day and are investing their
savings in Thrift and War Savings
Stamps: In So days they saved $22,
699.SS. These facts were brought GU,
in report fled by Philip J. Lawler
manager Of the School Savings Depart,
ment Of the Bank OF Italy with G. A
Farnsworth, associate director of the
War Loan Organization Of the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District.
For the first seven days OF school
this year total Of $2.673.83 was
saved and invested in Thrift. War
Savings and School Penny Stamps
The School Penny Stamps are put out
by the Bank OF Italy
There are about IS schools IN San
Francisco with an attendance Of ap
proximately $4,000 students. This in
cludes day and evening high schools
day and evening grammar schools anG
kindergartens. The Thrift Campaign
will be pushed throughout all of these
schools for the remainderaof the school
year.
The number of individual purchasers
of stamps SO far is 51.359. according to
Mr.. LAWYERS report. Six thousand
one hundred and seventy students
bought stamps during the first seven
school days Of the present term, while
1879 invested in the securities for
the preceding So school days during
which the savings plan was in opera.
ton last term. The number Of individual
purchasers of Thrift and War Savings
Stamps was 1880. The number Of
purchasers of the Penny Stamps was
$3.50. The Thrift and War Savings
Stamps had a total value of $15,399.53
while the School Penny Stamps had
sales value of $7,300.35.
Within short time the school saw
ings plan will be in full operation in
269 schools in Northern and Central
California and results will be checked
closely by Mr.. Lawler for the Bank of
Italy and the government.
Speaking Of the savings achieve
ments OF San Francisco's students to
date, Robert e. Smith, director Of the
War Loan Organization in the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District. said: Thrift
is the greatest thing student can
learn in school. School days are char.
acter-forning days. The boy or girl
who learns to save in school has al.
ready mastered one Of the biggest Sc
crets Of success"

Of that service unless they are not
waited on or cannot make the pur-
chase they desire.
Business comes in waves. Many
merchants would be glad IL they
could spread out Saturdays rush
over the whole week, but they have
to do their best to wait ON everybody
who comes in whatever the time may
be. Unfortunately for some firms
they cannot handle a crowd fast
enough and people are always get
ting impatient and going out.
This explains the trademark plan.
People who purchase by trademark
save their own time and that of the
firm. Every business that is busy
puts out more service than 1T would
have twenty years ago. Service has
speeded up. One of the reasons is
the trademark. "A salesman is
spared a full explanation of an
article to every customer for the
customer has already informed him
self thru advertising, or thru trying
the article before, and identities it
by its trade name.
Manufacturers were first to realize
this value Of publicity. Retail stores
could save much of their clerks
time by judicious advertising, and
the customers convenience would be
in knowing exactly what an article
was in quality and usefulness. We
believe it can be proven that firms
which advertise here in Blackfoot
serve more people and serve them
more promptly than those which de-
pend on telling the whole story to
every person that comes in thru the
front door,. C. K.

Hog Sale Big Success

We are informed by Howard Macy.
the auctioneer who officiated at the
hog sale at Hooper last week. that
the sale was attended by a large
crowd and very successful.
The sale included 800 head Of
pigs and thestun was not put In as
finished condition for selling as II
could have been.
Tho average price Of the grade
stun which came from registered an
imals on both dam and sires sold for
an average OF about $40 per head,
while the registered stun. which was
younger by several months. sold for
an average Of about SIS for the gifts
and about $40 for the boars. The
low price on the boars was due to the
lack Of demand for breeding males,
and they went mostly as stockers.
One outstanding gilt sold for s35,
the top price of the sale. It may be
said here that the low prices received
could have been materially increased
II the stock had been groomed out
better and better assortment made
Of the choice registered stun.
A good individual mixed in with
several not so good brings the value
of the better down. Taken as n
whole the sale was ably conducted,
and = good start can be claimed for
the big hog ranch In the line OF an
