CALIPATRIA, April 5.-Beneath a
giant flag, and with national bunting
draped profusely, Calipatria, seven
years old, celebrated her birthday with
all-night 1eyelry; While fremen of the
town acted as hosts and the people ac-
cepted the hospitality with an enthus-
iasm never known before
For a seven-year-old youngster Cali
patria. with her handsome bank build
ings, her big department stores, her
thoroughly modern implement and au-
tomobile houses and her mercantile
establishments, is considered some
thing of miracle, and the south end
valleyites who came Saturday after

then almost taken off their feet at the
towns remarkable growth. Just seven
years ago H. Fl. Clark, planted BAN

Calipatria.
Other enthusiasts joined him in the
work and today more than 1000 en-
home. An all night dance at the juno
ton of the two main streets of the
town was feature of the ceelbra-
ton. A huge platform was built, a
good floor put down and waXed.
Five hundred couples were on the
floor at one time. The firemen of the
town made neat sum by the enter

Of COT TON
A MENTAL
STATE
By Deductive Reasoning
Economic Expert Deter
mines That Psychology Is
Factor in Fixing Market
Value.
By w. w. Morrison.

If cotton had never been produced
by slaves, there are the|soundest rea-
sons for believing that the crops, as
a whole, would have sold for very
much more, probably double the price
they really brought.
If you will carefully analyze the
mental processes through which the
major part of the people have for
years arrived at their conclusions as
to the value of cotton, you will FIND
that these conclusions are not due SO
much to reasoning about the matter
as they are to the psychological effect
of cotton having been, in its initial
development in this country, the pro-
duct of slave labor.
This has been clearly revealed in
the cost Of growing cotton has as
sumed, and, especially SO, where its
basis has been changed from the incon-
elusive generalities. which have char
acterized much of the discussion, to a
definite statements of facts, for in
stance, like itemizing the expense ac-
count, which has been Il notable fea-
ture in recent years, particularly dur
ing the last five years.
You see, the opinion in this country
as to the cost of growing cotton is di-
vided between two we'll defined
groups. They represent respectively
the low and the high cost view OF
production. If you go into the matter
carefully, you will find that the diff
ference which differentiates the two
groups is purely ethical in its nature
A recognition of this fact is really
necessary to an enlightened under
standing of the vital questions in
volved in the cost of growing cotton.
The group that holds the low cos
view does not recognize at all thu
ethical principles involved in estimat
| ing the cost of production. That is
they completely ignore the rights o,
| he cotton laborer to decent hom'
in which to live and the right of hi!
family to decent opportunities. Con
sequently, they never allow what i
costs to provide these things as par
If the expense in growing cotton. Thi:
is notorious, and it has been-and con
| 5inues to be-the sole basis for all th'
l low cost estimates.
| Now, the group that holds to th'
high cost view does recognize thes'
| ,thical principles in all their calcula
! ions. That is, they charge up, as ;
| ,art of the legitimate expense of pro
| luction, what it costs to provide thes'
common decencies of life for the la
oorer, frankly assuming that they ar
| the inherent right Of every one who's
labor produces World necessity
whether it be cotton or any other pro
| duct.
AS matter of fact-and an import
ant fact it is too-this inherent righ
of the cotton laborer to decent livins
has never been contested by any on
as definite proposition; neither ha
the amount it would cost to provid
such living ever been challenged
Charging it UP to the cost of produc
ton is what has been challenged. Thi
is very important distinction an
should be Kept in mind when studyin
| this question, for, challenging this as
proper item of expense is just wha

view, has been persistently doing a

CONF |DE nee
IN FUTURE Of
COTTON MARKET
General Situation in RaU and
Finished Products ShOU I'M
prOUeMent OUer Month Ago.

The following on the cotton market
is from the current market letter of E
f. Hutton & Company:
The cotton market continues to mark
time and fluctuations from day to day
are within narrow range and trading
has been extremely sluggish and de.
void of feature. The tone, however
has been very steady and there seems
to be feeling Of greater confidence in
the stability Of the market. This
somewhat more optimistic sentiment
seems to have resulted from the recent
rather impressive resistance of prices
to bearish developments.
A somewhat better demand for fin
ished goods helped sentiment, and ir
the dry goods trade certain lines OF
cloth can be readily disposed of while
other lines are still hard to dispose of
Nevertheless, this is an improvement
over a month ago.
The better feeling in the security
market and the reports of a better
trade in other lines helped to bring
about some short coverings by the pro-
fessional element. who have been sc
pessimistic Of late.
There is, however. no real change
in the fundamental trade conditions
on which to base the expectations OF
definite change or recovery in the
market. Conditions are still generally
unfavorable. with the demand for raw
cotton and cotton goods at minimum
and the little improvement now and
then seems to be only spasmodic.
In the meanwhile, reports from the
South indicate sharp reduction il
the acreage and very heavy falling
off in the use of fertilizers for this
crop. While it has little influence at
the moment, nevertheless, the fact that
the acreage will be reduced, that little
fertilizer will be used, that Manchester
is beginning to see some hope in the
situation, that general business shows
some signs of recovering in this coun
try and that the public mind is chang
ing toward constructive attitude, al
lends to lay the foundation upon which
an improvement in values may be
based in the not too distant future.
