Business Outlook
In Middle West

Prospects of Large Crop
Help Situation, Accord
ing to Reports Gath
cred by Manufacturers

crop and future business outlook re-
.orts gathered from among the mem
fsrs Of national manufacturing asso-
,;.tion. most of whom are located in
email towns throughout the Middle
vest. are decidedly encouraging. The
,sports are particularly interesting in
hat the majority of them comment
Ar the fact that the small town re-
taller has mad less need Of reducing
ry;ees to stimulate business than have
his big city brothers.
The crop outlook in Missouri, Kan
s.s. Iowa and Ohio is exceeding en-
eouraging, and both retailers and manu-
;srturers in the small communities
throughout that section anticipate a
ss;rly healthy trade, based on the pros
meets of prosperity among the farmers.
In analyzing the reports, the secre-
tsry of the association has taken into
consideration the transportation stu
ssion and arrived at the conclusion
that the farmers, by reason Of the fact
fiat the shipping difficulties will make
the marketing of their crops a long
drawn out affair, arc likely to be good
spenders during a protracted period.
With money coming in at regular in
teryals, he believes that the farmer
will be inclined to string his purchases
cut and thus buy more than he would
If q quick market for his crops gave
him large amount of spending money
ct one time.
The majority of manufacturers who
replied to the questionable anticipate
a late fall season in their products,
which are of a seasonal character, be-
cause of the general unsettled con-
ditions. They do not expect buying to
be as brisk at the start as it has been
at the Inauguration of seasons for the
past two or three years, but they ex-
pect it to develop in something like
the recent rushes for merchandise, be-
cause of the long period during which
retailers have been almost wholly
absent from the wholesale markets.

Silk Jobbers Coming

Inc silk market opened the week In
quiet manner. Manufacturers and
commission agents expect little busi-
Aess this week, but anticipate more
a''iv'ty next week with the arrival OF
?nooDing buyers for their convention.
"ne OF the points that is receiving
sare!ul attention is the possible pro-
portion p' that buying for retail channels
wiz bear to the purchasing by gar
msht manufacturers. During the last
Two or three years the garment max
sas nave been taking less goods and the
tSesaii trades more. This was due to
sae turning of demand from ready
made garments to piece goods to be
made up in the home or by dress
maker. Some silk manufacturers esti-
mate that fully 80 per cent of the silks
soia during the past two years have
gone into consumers hands over the
.staa counter in yardage rather than
snrough the medium of made-up gar
hments.. Whether this proportion will
u, " maintained in the future is a puz-
1nng question:

Reports from the shoe manufacturing

Stabilization in Silks
To Help Cotton Goods
Relation of Two Drawn More
Closely by Decline of
Former

Sterilization of either the silk or cot
ton goods market, in the opinion of
some Of the trade leaders, will lead
TO settling of prices in the other.
The relation between the two has been
drawn more closely by the decline in
silk values, which will enable low
priced silk fabrics to compete favor
ably with some of the higher priced
cottons.
The waist trade and also the dress
trade saw switch from silks to cot
ton when the former reached such high
prices. Cotton waists and dresses are
iasnionable this summer, as evidenced
ppy the number of them being worn and
Dy the large numbers that retailers are
selhng. With silks on a lower basis,
some trade factors are looking for an
osher turn in fashions. Several large
cless goods jobbers are reported to be
waiting for some stabilization in the
SIX market before making their COM
mltments for future delivery of cot

Commercial Credits

High inventories are being frowned
upon by bankers in financial state
ments submitted by clients asking for
new loans or extensions of old ones.
Some Of the inventories submitted by
textile merchants, according to a large
bank catering to this trade, are run
ming extremely high, due to the drop
in sales which began in February and
which have been declining steadily
ever since. In sales figures bankers
also are inquiring for reports on the
amount of merchandise sold as we'll
as its monetary value.
Commercial money and bankers ac-
ceptance rates yesterday were un-
changed. Bankers acceptance rates

MEXICAN FIRMS
TO R|BUTE
CASH FOR LEVEE

CALEXICO, Sept. p. = General
Manager f. N. Cronholm Of the.1rrj-
cation district. has progressed far
enough with his negotiations to be
iievc that the Mexican land owners
will consent to levy or assessment
which will bring into the district
funds 100000 additional money and
which would enable the district to
complete the Ockerson levee and make
the valley entirely safe from amy
further flood danger.
Manager Cronholm has been look
ing after the I after quietly. BE has
convinced the Mexican owners that a
spirit of fairness should prompt them
to help the valley to that extent. He
has explained to them the greatly in
creased taxation burden that has just
been placed upon the land owners on
the American side and has called their
attention to the fact that while the
payments from the Americans have
been greatly increased those from the
Mexican side have not raised proper
t.onately.
The completion of The great ocker-
son levee will mean just as much to
the NJ /.ican interests as TO those on
this side and he has found then in a

BRAWLEY PLANS
OWN Gas PLANT

BRAWLEY, Sept. 22.--In a report
made to the city council last night by
City Engineer George Wade, the Ala
ITO hydro-electric project for supply
NJ Brawley with electricity was con-
demned and a recommendation made
that the city install low grade fuel
oil plant in conjunction with the water
plant to be built to supply the city
rropcr with electric lights and power.
After an informal debate for an hour,
The council ANONYMOUSLY directed Engi
neer Wade to proceed to make an ad
ditional report, wherein the costs of
maintenance, distribution, deprecia-
ton, and other items of expense would
be itenlized.
The action of the council in direct
ing an additional report will be pre-
iiminary to the calling of bond issue
of approximately $125,000 for the in
stallation Of two oil burning DIESEL
engines to supplement those now in
operation at the water works. The
combined plant then would be devoted
10 the pumping Of water and the max
ing of electricity.
While the city council has been con-
for some time the fessibil-
ity of municipality owned electric
plant, the increased rates granted the
Hclton Power company by the rail
cad commission served as an incen-
i've to speed up the work

COMING SUNDAY

A monument to the heroism of ar
American Scientist Of the air" is
The Skywayman," 1t. Ormer Lock-
ears greatest picture, which is to be
presented by William Fox at the Pal
acc theatre on Sunday for a run of two
lays. Ten per cent Of all the profits
from the exhibition Of this picture
throughout the country is to be given
o the families Of Locklear and his
9ilot, 1t. Milton Elliott.
"The Skywaman" is said to prove
that Locklear always held--namely,
kat his daring exploits above the
lcuds we're not performed in. bra
ado, but for the good of mankind.
Wien he stepped from one plane to
another thousands Of feet above the
arth it was to show that it could be
lone in emergency. Until he did it
.obody believed the balance and sta
,ility Of an airplane could be main
aimed while a man stood out on the
Wings.
He performs this feat and others
'us5 as startling in "The Skyway-
man" which is a romantic drama of
.ove and adventure. 1t is the story
Of q young American pilot, who, with
lis memory gone after crashing to
,arth in Fra,>e, returns to America
and finds himself injected into ad-
ventures as thrilling as any he had in
France.
No other airman, even among the
great war aces, ever captured the
'yCrld's admiration as Locklear did.
i His name will live. and "The Sky
vayman" will help perpetuatG> it.

a Campaign agalnst two of the
measures that are to be on the ballot
st the coming general election in Nov

Amendment Num,er 13, which is the

Wi . cid Hog&boom. of Los Angeles.
representing the California Protestive
Property League and the Peoples
AHti-Singlc Tax League, is in FL Cen
tTo today, and will remain in the Val
ley the rest Of the week. He will be
at the Chamber of Commerce meeting
tonight to present tire matter there.
81 am here for the purpose Of ar
renging for the presentation Of our
argument to the voters of Imperial
County" Mr.. Hogeboom said today.
"The Peoples Anti Single Tax
League has carried on campaign
against this iniquitous measure for the
1ast eight years, and has succeeded in
defeating the single tax am m5ldments
every two years for all that time. This
'1car the league has caused an amend
inont to be placed on the ballot, which
will be Amendment Number 4. and
which is aimed at the single takers and
will compel them to secure a 25 per
sent petition in order to get on the
ballot hereafter instead Of an eight
per cent petition. We believe this is
p fair proposition, and will have the
aurrcrt of everybody who is opposed
to the single tax theory.
The California Protective Property
League is opposing Amendment Mum
Der 10, which is on the ballot by refer
er:dum, the community property law
having already passed the legislature
and been signed by the governor.
"This amendment, on the face of it,
nDears all right to the women voters,
but when it is analyzed, and the effec,
II it upon the business of the husband,
who is the breadwinner, and carries
