COPIES

This list of paid subscribers
has been gained through seven
teen years of service, one by
one without any premiums or
prizes. no clubbing with other
newspapers, and no bats or in
ducements set out other than
giving value for the money
through the columns of our own
paper.
Seventeen years of service
and neighborliness is a good in
dication that the American is
here to stay and is not one of
those fly by night propositions.
The American has a regular
subscription price which it adj
heres to. 1t is not forced upon
anyone but sold on its merits.
The publications that are sold
for little or nothing-where if
the prospective subscriber does
not bite right away he can get
two or three years subscription
for the price of one, and where
if he insists he has no money
or does not want the paper, his
name is put on the list anyway,
to be collected for later, and
several other loose methods Of
gaining a subscription list
that type of publications usually
have an axe to grind, and if it
be political the paper may last
only until the next election.
The Askov American has gone
through many elections and
keeps on being conducted as a
newspaper with As, correspond
ents-not a propaganda sheet.
1t maintains regular subscrip-
tion price-$1.50-the same to
all, and offers no. bait on the
subscription price. A legiti-
mate publication must have a
legitimate price or some indi-
viduals behind the scenes are
paying the bill, there is mo-
tive back of it. 1t is well to
be on guard against and skep-
teal toward that which one gets
for little or nothing. In the
long run we pay for what we

FUTURE COTTON
GENERALLY
QUIET

NEW YORK, Dec. % 0N.S).
The cotton market continued to
duplicate its performance of re-
cent days in a generally quiet
session today. with the general
run of futures contracts fluctuat-
ing within a narrow price range.
Liquidation of the January posi-
ton for the first notice day on
Thursday continued to feature
the trading. This was absorbed
mostly by spot firms.
Near Months Bought
There was a good accumulation
of trade buying orders at the
opening, with buying demand in
the near months credited to
Liverpool and the Continent. Co
operative brokers bought the July
option.
On the selling side of the mar
ket, were commission firms and
Wall Street which sold the near
months, and spots houses, which
were sellers of the distant months.
Hedge sales we're again light in
volume.
Cotton circles point out that
statiStically the market continues
to show a fair condition, with the
receipts this week running to lesser
totals than the week previous,
with the export movement show
ing an improvement over the
previous week and with daily sales

RALLY ENT|CES
OUT CHART|ST
FUG|T|vES
By THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, Dec. % U.N.S0
The renewal of rallylng tendencies
for once carried out what Wall
Street In general was predicting,
q characteristic year.end recovery.
The better tone Of stocks has
brought from their hiding place,
droves of chart-students, each
with his own idea Of just where
the list is headed.
The consensus of chartist
opinion runs something like the
following: The last high point of
the Dow-Jones industrial aver
ages was 1915, on November g..
, The new low point, December II
was 7179. The total swing was a
little over Al points.
Under normal conditions it is
pointed out, a recovery of 40 to
so per cent is not unusual after
forced liquidation has precipitated
such a setback as terminated last
week.
Following this theory, a 40 per
cent rally would mean about 10
points in the industrial averages
and would take them to about
81.
The present standing of the
'Dow-Jones averageS at 1885
means that If any Of the above
reasoning is correct, there is
ample room for additional price
recovery in forthcoming sessions.

EASY CREDIT

A strong drive to secure charge
customers has been carried on by
most of the department stores Of
New York city during the past
year, with the result that many
novel promotion plans have been
brought into action, according to
John j. Bergen, of New York,
specialist in department store
securities.
It was not so many years ago,
he says, that an applicant for
credit in a New York department
store had to furnish bank and
other references and fill out an
application form that was almost
as involved as an income tax
return.
During the past two years all
this has changed and now repu-
table home-owners, especially those
in the better suburban districts,
find themselves the recipients of
appeal after appeal to open
charge accounts in the leading
stores in the metropolitan dis
trict.
About a year ago one of the
prominent stores sent out a card
to home-owners in the suburbs
which when filled out with name
and address and reference auto
matically opened an account for
the persons, said Mr.. Bergen.
Not to be outdone, a big store in
Newark informed selected sub
urban home-owners by mail that
an account had been opened in
their names and urging them to
come in and shop at their con-
Venience.

Bill to Release Deposits
Frozen in Broken Banks

Congressional action to enable
depositors of defunct banks to re,
trieve at least part of their de-
positS will be taken when Con-
gtess reconveneS in the new year.
Provisions for thawing these
frozen deposits will be contained
either in the $500, 100000 recon
struction finance corporation bill,
now being redrafted, or in a
separate bill, Senator Norbeck
(R.) of South Dakota, chairman
of the Senate Banking and Cur
rency Committee, said today. He
added:
"The closed banks never will
be able to pay in full, but de-
pOsitOrs should be able to OBJ
tain 30 or 40 per cent of their
frozen deposits"
Senator Brookhart R0 OF
Iowa will support inclusion OF
this provision in the reconstruc-
ton corporation bill.
The bill was ordered redrafted
by the banking and currency sub
committee after a four-day hear
ing, during which leading bank
ers of the country testified that
establishment Of the corporation
was essential to restoration Of
confidence in industry, agricul
ture and banking.
Re-drafting will be completed
during the Christmas recess by
DR.. Henry Parker Willis, New
York economist.

It was Duffy who leaned through the

the corner was stunned and speechless,
Jack Sharkey lay groveling on the can

bewildered and helpless, and Dempsey
needed friend as he had never needed

Duffy directed the attack a few
months later when Dempsey f1oored

TUSCALOOSA, Ala, January "a
Life's problems will seem simpler
to those foot ball players who
have learned to make quick
decisions and follow with fast action,
says Freddie Sington, Alabama's ALL
America tackle.
In foot ball, as in everyday life, a
man must plan solutions ahead of time
for possible situations that may arise.
But there is always the unexpected and
to face these problems player must
always keep alert and ready" the hard
rock of Alabama's line explained.
Sington, prominent in campus ac-
Invites, a star in base ball and a Phi
Beta Kappa scholar, thinks the mental
requirements of the game aid IN char
acter building. He is studying law.
THE average fan doesn't realize the
large part the mental side of foot ball
does play in the upbuilding of char
acter," he said. Foot ball has taught
me to play clean, live clean and be a
good sport, win or lose"
Freddie doesn't agree with those who
contend foot ball is overemphasized.
"A game that teaches so many good
and important traits to American young
men cannot be emphasized too much"
he remarked.
Glenn Edwards, Washington States
235-pound tackle, and Bobby Dodd,
Tennesseeis brilliant quarterback, are
rated by Sington as the best players he
faced in 1880.
Giant With Speed.
Edwards is the fastest big man I
have ever met" said Sington. HE is
heavy, but as fast as a halfback. He
came through the line like streak.
Dodd is on a par with the greatest
quarterbacks in the country. He's the
coolest man under fire I've ever SEEN
Give him a forward wall like some
teams had and there is no limit to what
he could do"
Vanderbilt, Sington thinks, was the
toughest team Alabama faced in its
all-conquering march last Fall

defense was superb and their running
and passing attack. mighty good ]
breathed a lot easier when we got that
game tucked away"
Sington told of an amusing incident
In this game Toward the end of the
battle he and John Miller, Alabama
guard. spied the coin the referee had
used for the toss. It was only a thin
dime, but both dove for 1t stimuli
taneously. Miller dug it out of the
turf, and now carries it as a good
luck piece.
The seasons greatest thrill for Fred
came in the Rose Bowl game with
Washington State. On the play in
which Souther caught pass and made
the first touchdown, Sington had
blocked an end out of the way, when
he watched Flash" juggle the ball on
his finger tips for what seemed like an
eternity before dragging it safely down
Dixie Standard High.
He believes that Southern foot ball
is as good as that played in any part
of the country. Every game we played
was plenty tough, and think foot ball
in the South is on a par with that
played anywhere" was Sington's COM
ment.
Coaches Wade and Crisp received
high praise from their star lineman,
who concluded:
Coach Wade teaches not only foot
ball, but character as well. I will al
ways be grateful for his teachings.
Coach Crisp I regard as the greatest
line coach in the country He makes
you work and he makes you like it."

Individual HonorS in

n ROOKLYN, N. Y, January "a

ton mile relay race that was bitterly
fought for three phases and thrilled a
sizeable crowd at the Brooklyn College
indoor track meet tonight at the 18th
Regiment armory. George NORM, the
Holy Gross third man, slipped through
on the inside just before handing over
the baton. AS a result he was able to
hand over two yards to Bernie Nc
Cafferty, and neither Burke of George
town nor Sander, the Violet anchor,
had a chance to pull him down.
N. Y. U. Is Best.
UnofRcially but still emphatically
New York University captured the top
most honors of the meet. Phil Ed
