Wall Street Journal
 Predicts $l.00 Cotton

The great shrinkage in con- sumption was probably the only cause that kept cotton from jump ing to $l per pound this season. This is indicated by the govern ment estimate of an 8.2O3. GOO bale yield as compared with last years 13, 366. 900 bale yield. II. 42l, 900 bales two years ago and l2. .O4l. 900 bales three years ago.
 Those who believed back in 1920 that the 1921 season would see cotton futures at $l per pound had visions of the demand keeping up at its previous rate. During the 1919 1920 season the United States consumed a total of 6.4l9.734 bales. Had not domestic use of cotton in the year ended July 31. 1921. de- creased to ASSOC bales (be-. cause of general industrial de- pression) there would have been no telling just to what heights cotton futures might have soar ed. We say this because of an indicated crop this year of S.2O3. 900 bales. had consumption run 6, 42O,O 900 bales. there would have been left an indicated hang over' of only l 7S3, 900 bales. To the layman this may mean little until we tell him that the exports of cotton out of the United States last year totalled 5. .724. 884 bales.
 The average cotton trader might now be wondering (had consumption this year been on a par with the previous year) how in the world Europe was going to get something like 5,725. GOO bales out of an estimated 'hang over" of only l.783. 900 bales! Certainly. our reserve supplies of cotton would have been greatly depleted. and bring with it un- precedentedly high prices.
 What is the situation today? The United States admittedly faces an unusually small Droduc- tion this year. Fortunately. domestic use of cotton up to July 30. 1921. was only 4. 888. 900 bales. But how long can we say this greatly lessened consumption will continue? It is the belief of many students of fundAmenta economic conditions that before another six months roll by thr country will be on the thresho d of the greatest reconstruction boom 1t has yet experienced. This means a return of prospei = iety and with it return of the demand for cotton and cotton goods. The indicated crop is admittedly very low, and with the strong probability of greatly increased demand the believer in higher prices for cotton futures faces almost unansWer. able bullish argument.
 Buy the distant cotton futures today is our earnest advice says
 Sugarman' Indicator.

Where Citizens Come From

In a few days the children from countless farms will trudge down the road to school with books and lunch pails in hand. Schools are the most important milestones on the road to citizen ship. The public school is the expression in little of what we think and do.
 These little country schools are mighty in results. They teach quite a bit from the bookish view but primaril. they are the founders of future character and citizenship. Here is where we, the parents and teacher is very marked. Our schools reflect our selves, our thoughts, our daily life.
 We cannot expect much from our schools if We set poor example. We need d, new and bigger view of the responsibili- ties of citizenship. At the best or the worst the neighborhood is what We wish it or it would be otherwise. These little tads who trudged down the road to school are ourselves: they take daily with them the things they hear and see at home. ltis not. after all, so m.ch what our Knowledge does for us. as what it makes of us. Are we broader more kindly, for our schooling? Are we capable teachers of those Ii tie beginners Tn life? Citizenship begns and ends in the home, and the school Is where We are oa trial; not the littls schoolma am. What about your school?-k. C. Journal.
