VALLEY

other sort OF a week imaginable.
why not a week dedicated TO that
king who seems TO have lost his
crown, and whose uncrowning Is
costing the people Of the South
plenty OF money?
This week Is no fad, no trick stuff
conJured up TO make an artificial
squirt In business. but Is a serious
attempt on the part of retailer and
manufacturer alike to awaken the
people Of the nation to the i'm
portance of the cotton growing and
cotton manufacturing industry. and
to show that ii is TO their advantage
TO purchase cotton goods.
What cotton means to the South
needs no telling in this column.
and this year We of the Valley are
beginning TO realize what cotton
has meant to the Valley In years
gone by.
Fl. p. Boyd OF San Benito. who
knows his cotton like nobody's bus
mess, tells us that the cotton acre
age OF the Valley is reduced this
year at least rs per cent in the
irrigated section and Is per cent
In the dryland territory.
why the reduction? The price IS
down. Why Is the price down?
There is a biz carry-over. Why was
there a big carry-oyer? The man.
ufactursrs did not use their usual
amount of the staple last year and
the proceeding year WhyP Be
cause people stopped buying the
usual amount OF cotton fabrics OF
various sorts.
With that we quit. We don't ex-
pect that the cotton skirts or dress
es or shirts Or whatnots hat the
average family will buy during
this week will raise the price OF
cotton materially. but IL the OBJ
servance OF the week serves 20
bring home to all OF us that by
using cotton made goods We can
helm false the price OF cotton and
thus Qhelp to bring prosperity 20

JOHN SHARY. pioneer Valley
developer who has taken over I e
Yacht Club at Port Isabel and is
giving the valley a real summer
and winter resort. writes the Her
aid to call III attention to a most
egregioA blunder which appeared
in our sSsue .! the 18th OF May in
which, early dues OF the Shary
YachtClub were stated 10 be 1856"
when OF course the figure should
have read SIS
Saws Mr.. Shary-"I assure you II
was never contemplated 10 charge
more than SIS per year for the
very reason that 1 wanted 10 build
a club whereby our people OF more
modest means could enjoy II and
be able to pay the nominal dues
And In so doing. Mr.. Shary IS
making Of the Shary Yacht Club
q place Of pleasure and amusement
for the entire Valley.
