News travels fast, especially amongst the New
York garment industry, with the result that the
"Lansburgh & Bro. Tricotine dress order was
quoted as the largest in dollars and cents of single
order by any store in many months" Each day we
have become more satisfied with the wisdom of our
foresight because day by day since then Ircone fabric
has become more and more and much higher in
price.

There are very few wooden mills in the entire
United States whose looms such that they can
manufacture tricotine fabrics. On the other hand,
Tricotne by reason of its scarcity, has become most
desirable CLOTH the demand has far exceeded the
ply This in particular will lead all others IN
Trieotine garments" We quote this from the leading
style artists of the world.
Our store executives, always students OF the
rapidly changing merchandise field in order to most
economically distribute the supply valued patrons,
and apparel buyer, continuously in the New York
market were alert to the above conditions.
Weeks ago, on one of her New York trips, the
cry of "Tricotine scarcity" resounded throughout
the entire ready-to-wear garment district. Our
buyer prohtng by the words of alarm singled out OF
New Yors largest dress operators who luckily had what
we know be the largest Trcotne stock in New York
Immediately we placed order for Rush delivery

In other words, (1) the present.
crop being so short, must surely
bring higher prices than now pre-
vail; bu' (2) planting the same
acreage we y anted last wear
m ght easily produce a crop SO
large as to make disastrohsly low
prices next fall.
This is the situation in a nut
shell.
Last year the South produced
only l56 pounds IF Int cotton per
acre. In 1914 We made 2O9 po
unds per acre, or exactly one
third more per acre than last year
.-which means that if last years
acre ield had beenas good as III
1914, our crop would have been

Or it means that if we plant
last years acreage this year and
the yield is AS good as In 1914
We will have Is, 100000 bales t
market instead Of IL, 100000 as
in tue case of, the present crop.
We must insist on fair prices
for our II, 100000 bale crop-anG
we are confident we shall get bet

ly therefore the one way to re-
lleve the present cotton sltua
tion; but we hope the present
emergency will set US to thinking
about ways to permanently IN
crease the price of cotton. That
subject We are discussing on the

to have cotton growing readers

THE COTTON MARKET
SITUATION IN A
NUTSHELL

There is no more important
problem before the South today
than that of getting fair prices
for the South's cotton crop. The
prosperity of our merchants,
bankers, and professional men, as
well as the prosperity OF our far
mers depend upon the right solu-
ton of this problem and all should
interest themselves in it.
OF two propositions there seems
to be no reason for doubt:
az Conditions are such that
holders of spot cotton should not
sell atipresent qrices.
(2) Conditions are such that
the 1919 crop acreage should be
sharply cuff possible, as much
as 33 / 8 per cent.

Ed HOGS.

The great number of unfinish-.
ed hogs with the consequent loss
of profit, together with the high
price paid and the promising fu-
ture for well finished hogs, has
impelled j. w. Willis, State A
gent, to write the following let
ter to all Country Agents:
Through cooperative market
ing and other means, we have
succeeded in getting the, farmers
to grow more surplus hogs in- 1918
than in two years previous, and
enough corr. to finish them, if it
had been kept for that purpose !
"Our next big job along this
line is to see that our farmers.
finish these hogs, and not ship
out hogs, corn and eottonseed
meal on the same train to Illinoise,
Indiana, and other states, where
our corn and .cottonseedmeal are
fed to our hogs. and some section
gets the profit. A
"One county shipped 8 cars Of
hogs, most of them feeders, and
II cars of corn the same. week.
We sell these feeders weighing
80 pounds to 125 pounds. In other
words, we grow the frame, which
is the most expensive part of the
operation, then lose the profit
that comes from finishing. We.
sold great many of these hogs
for 10 cents pound. And now
the feeders in other states are sell
ing them for 30 cents a pound.

Why Teeth Discolor

Why do well-brushed teeth discolor and
decay Why does tartar form! why IN
later years, does pyorrhea start? Millions
of people have asked this.
Any dentist will tell you that the reason
lies in film. In that Shiny film which you
feel with your tongue. It clings to the
teeth enters crevices and stays. The ordi-
nary tooth paste does not dissolve It, The
tooth brush leaves much of it intact.
: Night and day, despite your brushing, it
may do a ceaseless damage. And most tooth
troubles are now traced to film.
Film is what discolors--not the teeth. 1t
is the basis of tartar. 1t holds food sub.
stance which ferments and forms acid: 1t
holds the acid in contact with the teeth to
cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it.. They,
with tartar, are the chief cause OF pyorrhea.
Also of many other troubles, local and in
ternal
Dental science, after years Of searching,
has found a way to end It. The way is
embodied in dentifrice called Pepsodent
Able authorities have proved its efficiency
by many clinical tests. And now we ask
you to prove it.

SPINAL COLUMN EVENING
DRESS HERE FROM PARIS

New York. Oct. If Paris chooses
to emphasize the spinal column in its
evening dress effects, IL goes without
saying that the fashionable women
here will submit to the vertical method
Of decoration, it one is to make so
serious a prediction from the reception
accorded this novel treatment by those
who attended the exhibition of the
latest French creations at kurzman's.
More than 300 models. ranging from
sport to the most formal evening at
tire. were shown on manikins, both at
the morning and afternoon display,
which will be repeated twice daily dur
ing the week.
The spinal effect is only one of the
many novelties included in the collcc
tion of handsome and costly dresses,
suits and coats. But it was unusual
enough to be conspicuous even when
combined with the bare back effect
which has already appeared on this
side of the Atlantic.

is combined with a backless evening
dress, the upper part Of the vertical
band fastening to the bit of harness
which prevents the displacement of the
bodice, it is even more novel. After
noon dresses had these long vertical
strips of metal trimming and tho brocado

tcrial of that kind used on the dress.
No evening dress is either complete OF
considered safe without the beaded OF
spangled harness, which fits around the
back of the neck and to which is mt
tached the shoulder straps. Without
this necessary bit of paraphernalia there
would be no possible way of holding the
front of the evening dress where it be
longs. Occasionally one saw a mech
girdle to which was added a strip of the
beaded cord extending from the middle
