Don't Neglect Your Bills.
From the Triton Gazette.

When you neglect to pay your bills some
body suffers, and it is the man who had con-

when YOU were in need You should show that
YOU are as worthy of that trust, as he thought
you were, by paying him just as quickly as
you can Discussing the payment Of debts,
the Jackson Progress-Argus says: The pay
up slogan cannot be too strongly stressed
this fall There are many debts that have been
carried for years Somebody has literally had
to sweat blood to accommodate you. Then
isn't it the right thing to pay up as tar as
YOU can? BY doing this you will be helping
the entire community and will be assured of
getting additional help when you need it"

Advertiser IL is QueSllOHdDiC NllNtli~i '4iN -
erument's estimates OF the cotton crop are OF
any value. 1t says:
If the government will revise its crop
estimate once or twice more cotton may
90 TO 80 cents or better. On August %
the government predicted crop OF Il
95600O bales of 500 pounds each. One
month later (Sept. 23) the government
reduced its previous estimate. forecast
ing a crop OF 12,567000 bales-a differ
ence of $4,000. Which raises a question
as to whether these government reports
are OF much value anyway.
These estimates are not only OF no value
but, in the opinion of The News, they are
positively harmful. Early in the season the
probable yield of cotton is invariably report
ed high, with the result that the spectators
beat down the price and much OF the crop
has passed from the farmers hands by the
time somewhat accurate report IS made
Government estimates always affect the
market, and generally to the financial loss
of the grower.
The government could engage in activities
more helpful than predicting the probable
yield OF cotton.

Local Dealer Attends
Banquet in Los

At banquet in honor of George
H. Hannum, president of the Oak
land Motor Car Company and C. j.
Nephler the general sales manager,
held in Los Angeles Tuesday evs-
ming, p. l.. Moore, sales manager of
Imperial Valley Finance Corpora
tion, local Oakland dealers had the
pleasure of listening to an exten,
sive and elaborate discussion of the
plans of the Oakland Motor Car com
pany during which Mr.. Hannum
spoke as follows:
''We firmly believe that the sac
of motor cars III 1924 will equal if
not exceed the record mark estab-
lished in 1923, when sales were 40
per cent greater than in any pre-
vious year, and our production schcd
ule is based on that belief, and
since the introduction of our new
model, only six months ago, our
sales have shown an increase of
l421a per cent.
This faith in the continued ama1-
ing sale of motor cars, was express
ed by George II. Hannum, president
who arrived in Southern California
to visit the local Oakland dealers
on a five weeks swing to the Pa
cific Coast and back to learn of
actual conditions in the Oakland dis
tributing organization. He is being
accompanied on this trip by G. j.
Nephler, general sales manager of
the company.
GAS an instance of the increased
sale of motor cars" Mr.. Hannum
declared, "that during February,
Oakland sold 1000 more ears than
in any previous month in its entire
history.
Increase Production
"This rapid growth in business
has necessitated greatly increased
production, and the company is now
arranging for further additions sto
its factory facilities, including lew
buildings and equipment.
Mr.. Nephler emphasized the bene-
fit of such an annual trip through
the western states.
'We owe it to ourselves, not only
to exchange courtesies with our
western distributors who visit rs
during the year, but also to make
careful personal survey of conditions
i'll the west, at least once year. so
that we can get a picture of bust
ness conditions as they actually ex-
ist.''
IN talking with Mr.. Nephler re-
garding new developments which
may be expected in the automobile
industry, he expressed the opinion
that the next few years will witness
some remarkable improvements in
design and construction.
