NEW ORLEANS
New Orleans. La, Aug. Sum
mer trade among both retailers and
wholesalers is keeping up remark
ably well and to date Is beyond ex-
pectations. Retailers say their
business is on par with last year,
while the actual turnover Ii larE-
er. Every jobbing and manufactur-
ing line reports q substantial In
crease. Large orders from central
American countries which have
been out of the market for some
time were received early this week.
Collections are improving.
The general view is that the
strike has interfered little with
merchandise shipments from this
city, although few passenger
trains have been taken OF and mail
and passenger traffic is more or
less delayed. Building permits for
July were more than double. The
south is at loss to understand the
decline Of $14 a bale in cotton
since the, governments estimate.
Growers contend the outlook for
the crop has decreased materially
since then and there has not been
sufficient change In other condi-
tons to account for it. Business
has not been affected by the de-
cline because Of the belief that it
is temporary.

Obituary

OUiIudly A
Earl P. Clossen, WHO died on
Friday. June s0th. * his home
in Kit Carson. Colo, was born
November 9Th. M95. at Las Ami
mas, Colo. From there he NOV
ed with his parentA to Kit Car
son in 1901. Pat, as he was
known to all who knew him. was
an obedient son and helped his
father in running the Clossen
ranch. He was diligent in his
work and punctual in his duties,
always a pal to those with whom
he was associated. until he was
called to Uncle Sans services in
Ft. Riley, on March 4th, 1918.
He was welded in bonds of holy
matrimony to Miss Anita Roden
two days before his departure
for Ft. Riley. The following
November he contracted the flu
and due to the inclement weather
failed to recover frcm this sick
ness until the dreaded tubercolos-
is germ had crept into his system
taking advantage of his weaken
ed condition. Shortly afterwards
he was sent to Ft. Bayard. New
Mexico. where it seemed his con-
dition was improving. He was
later discharged and he at once
returned to his old home. wife
and family; living there until
October 1921 when he left for a
vacation in the mountains SPEND
ing a delightful two months in
the mountains near Del Norte,
Colo. Finding that the altitude
was a little too high for him. he
journeyed back to Colorado Spgs
where he spent the remainder Of
the winter. February 5th he re-
turned to Kit Carson to share
with his friends, his companion
ship. sunshine and smiles. If
anyone would ask Pat ''how do
you feel" his answer would
always be "just fine". He held
this attitude to the last. never a
word, never a thought, but of
success in winning over the silent
force that was sapping at his
life's vitality. When he suffered
no one knew. his sufferings were
for himself and his smiles for his
friends and loved ones, never al
lowing anyone to share his suf-
fering and grief. Patient, low
ing. brave, generous and thought
full were the qualities of this
young man, who lived and fought
for life for the companionship of
his wife and two children. One
day the reaper of lives harvested
the earthly being of this valiant
young man, but the tender Shep-
herd departed with his soul say
ing in soothing tones Come
Unto Me and Will Give Thee
Rest. With his departure he
leaves to mourn his loss his faith
