 Thanks You!

x 11(El l1AO \ O NI
 Yesterday was the wind-up of the most wonderful and most successful sale event in the merchandising world. It closed ten days of selling without precedent in the South, or perhaps United States And now wish to thank the people, each and every one of you, for this great success.
 Twenty-one years ago, when I start ed, or planted the seed for this store and it's future business, little did any of you dream then how great it's future would be. But made up my mind then to build a foundation upon which any future business, no matter what it's mag nitude might be, could finally rest it's strength
 Fair dealings to all live and let live prices honest and straightforward statements to the public and treating
  me, were my ideas in founding this busi- ness. My great success in the past 21 years has proven that these ideas will win, because they have won your conf- dence; and I want to say that without your confidence and that of the general public, my success would not have been what it is.
 This CELEBRATION SALE just closed was planned to give the people some wonderful values
 It was planned to give away quarter of million dollars worth of merchan- disc in ten days without profit, and this has been exceeded because the people responded so generously that before half the allotted time had gone we had passed the goal we set. In the beginning buyers were sent into the markets not so much to buy, but to ask the manu- facurers and big wholesalers with whom we have been doing business for the past 21 years, to give us nerchan- disc at less than cost of production in order that this store might give to the public values ''you will never forget These buyers were successful, and in the past ten days we know that we have saved the public many hundreds of thousands of dollars. And now it is all over. This CELEBRATION SALE has been big success, and will go down in history as an achievement worthy of it's attainment.
 We thank you for your hearty CO., operation, and we are proud of good words and the good will for this store. The entire organization thanks you, and myself wish to personally thank each and every one of you; and my one regret is that 1 cannot grasp each and every one of you by the hand -grown-ups and little ones as well-and express to you my heartfelt thanks for your wonderful cooperation. In the near future I will have some good news to announce in

Christmas Seal Sale Will
Be Conducted Dec. l to | |

The annual sale of Christmas seals
for the Association for the Preven-
ton of tuberculosis of the District
of Columbia will be conducted from
December 1 to IL. The seals were
formerly known as the Red Cross
Christmas Seals" but owing to the
confusion caused by the funds being
used by the national and local
tuberculosis associations for the
promotion of their general health
program, the Red Cross has relin-
quished all claim to the. title Of the
seal.
The-design of the seal this year
represents Santa Claus carrying on
his shoulders a child clad in an
open-air school suit and bearing
aloft a double-barred cross, the en-
blem of the tuberculosis association.
The sale last year resulted in the
disposal of 1,96S,7s4 of the seals in
Washington. an average of AZ for
each person. The District ranked
sixteenth in a list Of fifty city and
state organizations which conducted
seal sales.

CABLE HEARING
ISPOSTPONED
District Supreme Court Con-
tinues Case Until Next
Tuesday.

Justice Wendell p. stafford, of
the District Supreme Court. yester-
day continued until next Tuesday
the hearing on the rule and the
answer Of the acting Secretary or
War in regard to the revocation by
Secretary Baker of a permit granted
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany to connect it's cable line be-
tween Miami and Miami Beach, Fla.
Justice STAFFORD explained to the
counsel for the Navy Department
that the time was given in order
that the Secretary of the Navy
might add to his answer the law
upon which he bases his claim to
interfere with the work of the tele-
graph company.
When the case was opened yes
terday morning. Acting Secretary
Woodbury. told the court that the
Navy Department was simply CO.
operating with the Secretary of War
at the request of the State De-
partment in preventing the laying
of the company's cable.
Woodbury. further pointed out
that Secretary Baker had revoked
the permit granted the company for
connecting the cable lines and that
the navy had taken the necessary
steps to prevent the carrying out
of the work by the company because
1t considered that the company was
without legal authority to continue
the work.

WARNS
OF COTTON RISE
Says Growers
WillUse Their Power to
Force Profit Yield. :

=, Senator-elect Thomas ]. Helm, or
Alabama. emphatically declared in
a statement yesterday that there
can be no doubt about cotton prices
going much higher" Pointing out
that this is the fifth small cotton
crop OF the United States, he de-
clared that 'the American crop this
the world demands of US.
I'VE have II in our power to
compel prices that will cover the
cost of production and yield a
profit, and We are going to do it,"
he said. Cotton will sell for thirty
cents before January 1, 1921.
The tremendous slump in the
price of cotton is responsible for a
half million bales being left behind
in the fields" he said. "If you
would add to the amount ginned up
to November IA, 1920, the number
of bales that remained to be ginned,
1,71s,000. after November IA, 1916,
you will have approximately the
figures of the American cotton crop
of l920-10. .63S. 900 bales. My judg.
ment is that 1o.4o0,0O0 bales VIII
come nearer telling the tale of the
1920 cotton crop.
There can be no doubt about
cotton prices going much higher.
There has never been such a cot
ton holding movement in the Sauth
as you find there today. Our people
just cannot afford to sell at the
price now offered. There will be no
cotton sold until the prices goes
back up to thirty cents and above
The farmer, merchant and banker
in the cotton growing States have
done what bear speculstors and
spinners have forced them to do.
They have tied up the spot market
as il has never been tied up before" {"
