business organization unless both
the management Of that organiza-
ton were competent and trustwor-

organization were Of very real value
to that portion Of the public which
it serves.

organization was something in which
they could take pride Once more
the growth Of business over it's floor
is sufficient proof.
Many people seem to think that
because the board lot" on this ex-
change is ten bales that trading is
restricted to amounts Of this size.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. Individual transactions of a
hundred bales are much more fire.
Quent than are transactions in ten
bale lots, and l.000-bale lots are Of
very common occurrence. It is the
privilege which the exchange offers,
unique among all exchanges. in deal
ing in any amount OF cotton at any
time from ten bales up that makes
it Of inestimable value to the cotton
man. The smaller man can enter no
other market than this; the larger
trader can make use Of these facili-
ties to scale his position to degree
impossible on any other exchange.
That is privilege worth having.
The Bureau Of Markets, U. S. De-
partment Of Agriculture, has allow
ed this exchange to name ten points
Of delivery, which practically places
it on spot cotton basis. as mem

SAINTS DECLINE
FURTHER CANES
WITH PAL OUTFIT

Captain Forrest Davies, of the st.
Augustine ball club has definitely
declined to bring his team to Palatka
any more to play against the Pals,
declaring that "the people of Palat-
ka have not shown the proper spirit"
This statement was made in letter
to Manager Fearnside in reply to a
suggestion that two games be played
on July 4, one in Palatka and one in
St. Augustine.
Manager Fearnside made the pro-
position in good faith, suggesting
that coin be tossed for choice of
where the morning game was to be
played. He also submitted several
proposals for a division of the gate
receipts. In his letter Captain Davies
said:
"The people of Palatka have not
shown the proper spirit toward the
Saints, not only when we We're play
ing there, but in trying to influence
visiting clubs when in Palatka that
were to play in St. Augustine. l am

This club was about to cancel the
series with US owing to what was
told them by your people and if it
had not been for two Jacksonville /
boys on their team, who told them
differently from what Palatka peo-
pie told them, they would have can

that Palatkans advised MIN not to

ly denied any such assertion, and said
that he was anxious, while here to
cancel the games in St. Augustine
because he preferred to stay in Pa
latka and play, and only agreed to
go to st. Augustine when Palatka
declined to accept a date which had
been previously allotted to St. Au-
gustine. He followed this up with
a letter which was sent to the St.
Augustine Record, together with a
statement of the facts, which the

&
by Mrs. Mary Preston
Cooking Expert and Food analyst

It's surprising thesqueer ideas get sometimes
When first started to write these advertisements
/ didn't understand anything about guarantees
advertising either for that matter.
After had written my first advertisement, the
sales-manager of The Heekin Company said,
Mrs Preston, I think ought to guarantee
this baking powder"
Good gracious" replied. "a superior baking
powder like Heekin's doesn't need to be guaran-
teed. Why, any woman can get excellent results
with it. I've analysed it, and know that purer
baking powder can't be made. (No foreign in
gradients are added to create unnatural effer-
vescence or to give false impression of quality)
I've baked with it and have my assistants.
We've never had failure when we used
Heekin's."
Then learned something about guarantees.
The sales-manager said that it is only because
Heekin's is superior baking powder that can
afford to guarantee it. He explained that only
good article can be guaranteed-a poor one would
go out of business sending money back to dis
satisfied customers.
THAT being the case" I said, Tets make the
strongest kind of guarantee for Heekin's. For
truly believe that it is the finest baking powder
made, and we know that it is the favorite with
thousands of women
And here is the guarantee decided upon: IF
anything you bake-using Heekns-doesnt turn
out to your entire satisfaction, list the ingredients
in whatever you bake, their prices, and the price
of the baking powder, and the entire amount of
money will be returned to you by The Heekin
Company, Cincinnati, Ohio Simply send the list
together with your name and address,
After trial, you will agree with me that
Heekins is the finest baking powder used Buy
