COTTON GOES UP

After closing at an advance Of 80
points Saturday, the cotton market
continued strong today, the closing
figures in the future market in New
York being from 45 to 80 points
above the previous close. In New
Orleans both futures and spots ad-
vanced, the spot market closing at
SO points advance.
The local market showed the ef-
feet Of the growing demand for cot
ton and as much as 16 1-2 cents
was paid for good cotton, one buy
er stating that fancy cotton would
bring II cents.
The National Ginners estimate of
12,45O,OOO bales for this crop was
announced, and its figures on gin
ming to November 80 were an
ounced at 1O,O5O, 900. These figures
were smaller than expected and
were in part responsible for the ad-
vance.
The general feeling in the cotton
market is that the bottom has been
reached, the crisis passed, and that
the market will make steady ad-
vances, though no great advance is
expected before the Christmas holi-
days.

at 9 p. m, and will arrive in San Diego
at 7 a. m.
This train will handle baggage and
express and will carry Pullman
sleeper, coaches and limited number
of cars of perishable freight. The need
of the night passenger service and the
fast freight service has become more
apparent with the approach of sum-
mer. according to the railroad men
who designed the change.
Two dav trains, the noon train
from San Diego and the S:15 a. m.
'westbound train from FL Centre will
be withdrawn when the new schedule

in time have been authorized. The

Buyer One Who Is Hurt.

Thus, it will be seen that this buy
at-home proposition is really selfish
one with the man who buys the goods.
He is not hurting the home merchant
when he sends his money out of town,
any more than he is hurting himself.
Every sensible man knows that his
livelihood depends upon whether bust
ness in his town is good or not. II
business is not good. he cannot make Il
good living for himself and his family.
no matter how hard he may work. anu
business cannot be good if the busi-
ness men in the town are not making
money. This is a plain business propo-
sition for every man and woman in the
community. BY spending their money
at home they are helping the home
merchant only incidentally. They are
buttering their own bread. When they
send their money to the mail order
house, they are not only hurting the
home merchant incidentally but--a
thing more important to them--they
are likely to be taking the bread out
+ the mouths of their own children.

1t is a rather wonderful thing, when
you stop to think about 1t what one
lone dollar will do, II 1t Is kept al
work. This has been illustrated In u
striking manner on several occasions
by means Of very simple experiment
If you want to see just how important
role a silver dollar or a dollar bill
plays In the life of community here
is the way to do 1t. Just attach tag
to the dollar and turn it loose, with
the request that every person who
receives the dollar make note on the
tag as to how he received 1t. The re-
suit will be an eye-opener.
Here IS the way 1t works: Smith.
the lumber dealer, who first possesses
the dollar, buys some groceries from
Brown and pays for them with the dol
lar. About that time Jones, the plum
Der, who had done some work for
Brown, sends his collector around and
Brown pays the bill with this dollar.
Jones owes Green, the printer, small
advertising bill, so he sends this dollar
to pay his bill. Green had just put
the dollar in his cash drawer when
in comes Black, the milkman. to whom
Green owes u dollar for milk delivered
at his house. Green takes the dollar
out of his cash drawer and pays
Black. Fer some time Black has owed
White, the carpenter, for some work
done on his dairy house, so now he
takes the dollar that Green has paid
him and pays up what he owes White.
White still owes for some lumber that
he bought from Smith, the lumber
dealer, SO he takes the dollar anG
squares up his account with Smith.
Smith now has his dollar back. Brown
has been able to pay his plumbing
bill. Jones has squared up with the
printer, and SO on, all around the
circle.

What Might Have Happened.

Now suppose that Smith, instead Of
9uying his groceries from Brown, had
purchased them from a mail order
house in Il far distant city and sent his
lollar to pay for them. Brown would
not have had that dollar TO pay Jones,
the plumber: Jones could not have
paid his printing bill; the printer would
nave had to stand off the milk, man !;
White the carpenter would not have
got the money for the work he had
lone for tho milkman and Smith would
lot have got the money which White
,wed him for lumber.
This is all so simple that 1t requires
40 student of economics or professor
IF mathematics to figure it out. Any
one can see that when Smith sends
that dollar to Chicago or some other
city where the mail order houses -four
Ish, that dollar is gone so far as Smith
and Jones and Green and the rest of
the people in Smiths town are con-
cerned. That dollar will never come
back to pay any bills in Smiths town.
And the thing that stands out most
striking. but Is most often overlooked,
is that Smith, the man who first spends
the dollar, is hurt just as much when
he sends that dollar out of town as is
the home grocer from whom he might
have bought his groceries.
Now just multiply this one dollar by
a hundred or thousand or ten thou
sand. One dollar may not seem to
make much difference. in the average
town. but a thousand dollars or even
a hundred dollars does make differ
ence. Just as one dollar will pay
dozen or hundred small bills hun
dred or thousand dollars will pay
dozen or hundred big bills. When
Brown. the grocery man, owes a thou
sand dollars and can't pay 1t, he is
headed for the bankruptcy courts.
When Jones, the plumber, can't collect
the money which is due him from
Brown or maybe dozen Browns, he is
headed in the same direction as Brown.
And so it goes all around the. circle
until it hits Smith or 4 dozen Smiths
who have sent their money out of town
to add to the fortunes of the mail order
men.
