We have never known as many
men who narrowly missed getting
rich by buying cotton. They just put
the matter off a few days too long.

own Judgment instead of listening to

started to buy and hadn't stayed at

few other things hadn't happened we
would have had about nineteen to
fifty young millionaires around Abb

WOMAN FIGHTS THIEF


New York, Aug. 27.-With an in.
fant in her arms, Mrs. Ethel Skactei
80, of No. 81 Rush street, Brooklyn,
battled with an intruder she found in
her home and finally cause his ar
rest.
Mrs. Schacter heard noise in
the dining room. Entering she found
a young man opening drawers in a
bureau. She demanded:
"What are you doing here?"
Mumbling something about '1ook.
ing for a family named Greenberg," ="
the man started for the door and
down the stairs.
Then Mrs. Schacter placed her
baby on the floor, seized the man
with both hands and yelled for the
police. 'Patroln1an Valentine took
the prisoner to the Clymer street
station.
The, prisoner said he was Charles
Golfer, 18, of No. 156 Monroe st.,
Manhattan. In his pockets he had a
bracelet, a wrist watch, two gold
watches, two fountain pens and busi.
ness cards of Jacob Levine.
While Cotler was being searched
DIR. Solomon J. Levine of No. 481
Bedford avenue telephoned the po-
lice station that he had been robbed.
He was told to come around. He did
so and identified one of the watches
and a fountain pen as his property.
The cards were his brothers. A
purse containing money, which Mrs.
Schacter said was on her bureau,
could not be found 6n Cotler. He
was held in $4,000 in the Bridge
Plaza Court.

should be diverted to commercial but

EXPORT TRADE SHOWING
PICK UP FIGURES REVEAL

New York, Aug. 27.-America's
foreign trade is reviving. s
Exports from the United States hit
the bottom Of depression in April.
Since then, they have been climbing
slowly but surely.
The gain is in physical volume
more bushels of wheat, more tons of
machinery, etc.
Total money value Of exports con-
tinues declining, because prices have
not stopped falling.
: But export tonnage began to in
crease in May. So say the expert,
including Frederick Todd, secretary
of the Frst Federal Foreign Banking
Association, 40 Wall Street.
Exports of agricultural products
during July showed big gains over
july, 1920. Here are some of them:
,. 80 July '21 July go
Cotton, bales - $4,000 211,OO0
Corn, bu. - 14,s72,O00 1,151, 900
cottonseed oil lb 1888, 900 1851, 900
Wheat, bu. - 24,7so,oOO 2s,sas,ooo
August is expected to show furth-
er increase in export volume.
Germany daily is becoming a bet
ter customer. She is steadily increas-
ing her purchases of American-made
goods.
But Europe as a whole is taking
less than half of all American ex-
ports, for the first time in history.
"The key to the whole situation"
as one big exporter puts it, "is that
the future of our foreign trade is not
in Europe. Already we have as big
market in China, South America
and other parts of the world as we
have, in Europe. This means that a
boom in our foreign trade is not as
dependent on European recovery as
most exporters thought year or two
ago.
"A lot of folks have been sitting
back, saying that business can't re-
vive until foreign trade picks up!
Well, it's on the increase now. Of
course, prices are down and exports
are bringing us less money. But that's
offset by the fact that the exporter
can buy more with his dollar than
he could when prices were high and
foreign trade was enormous on pa
per."'

PICKING COTTON.

The time for gathering cotton has
arrived. There will not be so much
to pick, we fear, and there is no rea-
son why what is made should not be
gathered as. fast as it is open and
ready for picking. There is much to
be gained by doing this. People who
, allowed their cotton to be damaged
last year by remaining. in the field
for weeks have, we hope, learned the
lesson that it is as important to o>pick
cotton at, the right time as it is to
pick it at all. In no other way may
good samples be secured when the
cotton is ginned. Good cotton has
aways brought higher price in pro-
portion than damaged cotton, and
the difference the last few years IN
the price of the different grades has
grown larger. =. =
There is another thing which it
were well to learn, and that is that
the cotton in the bolls which have
been punctured by the. boil weevil is
stained, at least the lock punctured is
stained and most often badly dam
aged. It is important in picking the
cotton not, to gather this damaged
lock. It but tends to make the whole
bale of a lower grade than otherwise
would be the case; and causes the
planter to lose to the extent that the
grade is lowered. wherever there is
damaged lock Of cotton in a boil, it
were well to leave it in picking. This
viii require care on the part of Che
pickers, but the price which will be
obtained and the advantage to be
gained by being careful will more
than pay for the necessary care and
pains. .s. !. -: .,;;~.s,,

wish is father to the thought" Of
course, but that is the way it looks
to us. The price should be good and
should get better as the season ad-
vances and people begin to know that
there will be no more cotton for sale

WILL COTTON GO HIGHER?
- EfEIys ~ -

When cotton is going up every
body thinks it will continue to 60
up. 1t is generally said that there is
nothing to keep it down and nothing
to keep it from going much higher.
When the price starts downward
everybody has his reason for saying
that the whole bottom is going to
drop out, the whole world being al
ready flooded with cotton, aud no
body wants any more at any price.
But it seems to the casual \observ-
er that there is a chance that the
price of cotton this year must con-
tinue to be at a high figure, proba-
bly, at higher figure than it is now
bringing. We say this for the reason
that the carry-over from last year
was not so large as was expected.
Much of the cotton which was car
ried over was of low grades and is
not so much in demand. The crop the
present year, if the crop in this coun-
ty is fair index as to size of the
crop will not be more than T.
100000 bales. We make that esti-
mate on the reported reduction in
acreage with a proper reduction for
boil weevil damage and poor crops
due to imperfect fertilization. If the
carry-over and the, new crop together
do not amount to more than 15,000,-
, 600 to, is, 100000 bales, and if it is
usual to carry over from one year to
another about 100000 bales, then
the cotton which will be for sale will
not amount to more than 100000
bales, or 100000 more than that fig
ure. Europe wants cotton now and
has been wanting it for several
months. The only reason why great
deal of cotton has not heretofore
been shipped abroad is that there has
been no means to finance the crop.
This seems to be- at least in part rem
edied, and before the crop is market
ed a way will probably be found for
the European buyers to obtain what
they want. If so the demand will be
creatly increased, and cotton will not
20 begging as it did last year. 1.-THE
