COLLIER, WHO IS NOW TOURING EUROPE, WRITES INTERESTING LETTERS TO HIS FATHER, MR. J. C. COUJER Hotel Cecil Strand, Lo/tdon, W. C., Saturday, Dec. 20, 1924. Dear Father:— Arrived here yesterday afternoon from Manchester, coming via Derby and Leicester. I enjoyed the trip very much, the country is simply magnificent and I don’t believe any one has ever exaggerated this fact in the least. I rode on an express train at 60 miles per hour, the road beds are much better than ours, also dining service. At first I did not care for the English type of train, but I believe they are better—one can stay much cleaner than in ours, the coaches are clean and each com partment contains various scenes of England visited by the railroad sys tem. The whole country side is nothing more than a flower garden practically all the way from Man chester to London. In going over to Manchester from London at the beginning of my trip I went via Staf ford and Birmingham. I was very glad indeed to leave Manchester and its smoke ladened air. It is rated as a tradesman’s town, yet the people are very kind to one. I feel much better physi cally (in fact I rate about 100%). The cold I had was certainly hard to throw off, but I had a first-class doc tor in Manchester who prescribed, and I took excellent care of myself by staying in out of the fog and bad weather. Spent Monday in Liver pool, awfully bad day. Two firms I talked with were bearish on cotton. Enclosed find one cotton letter which is explanatory. England, as you will note from the papers will short ly erect traffic walls to save them selves from German manufacturers. Saw some very interesting textile plants this week at Manchester, have obtained some very valuable expe rience, am only sorry that I didn’t have more experience myself as I could have assimilated so much more. Was unable to go through several plants on account of lack of time so may go back to Manchester for four or five days about the first of February before I sail. London you know is a wonderful show town. I saw last night “The Street Singer,” a nice musical come dy, however not so good as “Madam Pompadour,” which I saw here sev eral weeks ago. Purchased for Jec a book of the entire music used by this comedy company. I went to the House of Parliament today, also saw picture making. It was wonderful, very grand and mag nificent yet it does not inspire one with the awe of the West Minster Abby or Castle in Edinburg. To morrow, Sunday, I travel from Lon don to Paris, arriving there about 6 P. M. I bought Milwood an English pipe and Harrison H. a pair of golf stockings. You can write me at Rome, Italy. lam quite anxious to reach Paris in order to get my mail which has been holding there for three or four days. Love to all the family and my friends. Devotedly, DURWARD. Prince of Wales Hotel, Southport, England, Dec. 14, 1924, Saturday. Dear Father and Mother: — Am feeling very much better, the air here is nice and pure—quite a relief from the Manchester smoke and fog. Arrived here this after noon—spend Sunday, and on Mon day I go to Liverpool for one day. This morning I went through the Shaw-Jardine Cos., spinners of to Egyptian thread yarn, also yarn for the fine lace trade. I have had a very busy week. Tuesday next I shall spend with Mr. Geo. M. Nuttal inspecting his plant. Wed nesday with Mr. Wilford Hilton, Thursday at Rockdale and Friday and Saturday the 19th and 20th I spend in London, getting to Paris the night of the 21st. I have seen some very large and interesting plants this week. It is most wonderful how these old plants turn out the quality of merchandise they do with much old machinery. The cotton business is very busy here. I had no idea as to the quantity which is now being shipped to the States. American cotton is due to go much higher; Egyptian is 25 to 30 per cent higher now than last year—right around 60c per pound. The English people are certainly meat eaters, very few vegetables are served, fruits (good) are hard to get, practically no American fruit for sale. The Georgia sweet potato and pecan is unknown —this would be an opportunity for someone. Am sending some sample swatches of woolen cloth directed to myself for caps, please hold until I return.. Will close as it is time for dinner. Love to all. DURWARD. Manchester, England, Thursday, Dec. 13, 1924. Dear Father:— Just in from a trip to the follow ing plants which I have inspected very closely: Gradwell Weaving Mills, Ltd., Accrington - Stanwell Spg. Cos., Ltd., also the Textile Ma chinery Works of Howard & Bul lough. Will spend Friday with Mr. J. Barber Lomax, who will show me two spinning mills, one weaving and one bleachery. Saturday I will spend with Mr. Heaps, manager of the Shaw-Jardine, Ltd., here at Man chester and Monday with Frances Summers Cos., Ltd. This week I have been busy inspecting —on Monday the Talbot Spinning & Weaving Cos., Tuesday inspecting Whitworth & Mitchell and Wever- Hollis Mills, Ltd., one one of the Lancanshire Associated bleacheries. Am feeling much better today as I have practically gotten rid of my cough. I understand that the pro duce of 35,000 looms on go mostly to the United States and Egypt, also I am reliably informed that quite a large number of mills are changing from Egyptian back to American cotton on account of the difference in price as Egyptian cot ton now is very high. Trade here is much better, most cotton mills running full time. Mr. Hollas pre dicts higher American cotton. If October cotton can be bought for 20 to 22c I think it a good buy. The proposition is certainly large ly dependent on the process as well as the weaving. Shall be here all next week and will not arrive in Paris until Sun day, December 20th. Think I shall run over to Southport on the coast Sunday to get away from the fog; shall spend one day next week iji Liverpool. Will write a long letter next time. Love to all the family and best wishes for Xmas. DURWARD. COTTON LETTER TO MR. D. C. COLLIER FROM STRAUSS & CO., LIVERPOOL, ENG. M. D. C. Collier, Manchester. Dear Sir:— We have received your letter of introduction from Mr. Williamson and are sorry that you had no time to stop in Liverpool for an inter view. It is most difficult at present to express any definite views on the Liverpool cotton market. Every body is more or less convinced that the American crop is going to be around 13,500,000, excluding linters, which will be ample for this season and give us a fair carry over into the next. On top of this we feel cer tain that the spinning value of this crop is very much greater than last year, owing to the wonderful open Fall, this giving us very little low grade cotton. The present large crop has come at a very opportune moment for Lancashire, a6 the world is short of foods and has been un able to pay the high prices we have had the last few years. Spinners are now working with a fair margin of profit and the majority are well supplied with orders, and for quick delivery a good premium can be ob- tained. The “Short Time” move ment has stopped any over produc tion and spinners are now working 40 hours a week instead of 26% hours earlier in the year. Lancashire will this season proba bly use about 2,250,000 bales Ameri can and the whole world’s consump tion will be around 12,600,000 ac cording to the present rate of con sumption. We do not think prices will go very low, owing to the uncertainty of being able to produce another big crop next year. This year the weather for the plant was practically ideal and we FRUIT TREES Just as the orchardist is able through nourishment to increase the vitality and resistance of his apple-tree to winter’s cold, so is the body fortified with Scott’s Emulsion Thousands now take it as regu larly as they take food, to build healthy resistance and to protect them when winter’s cold arrives. Take a lesson from Na- •fkA ture keep your body -•A strong to resist weakness— f 'lf take Scott’s Emulsion! *4 JjL Scott Sc Bowne, Blosciiield, N. J. 24-2S shall be agreeably surprised if such conditions again favor the plant dur ing the next growing period as we are so accustomed to have one large crop, followed by several small ones. At the present time, both here and in America, there has been a good deal of buying of new crops, when ever Liverpool gets near 12d. The Egyptian market stands on its own this season, chiefly owing to the small Sakellaridis crop. The differ ence between Egyptian and Ameri can futures has widened out from 500 Liverpool points to nearly 1500 points, a widening of lOd per lib. ■On top of the small crop it is re ported that a good deal of Pilion cot ton has been mixed with Sakel cot ton and a large quantity of this cot ton was rejected on Docket in Alex andria. This left Alexandria firms “Short” and the consequence is the present high price of Egyptian. Some of our Alexandria friends write us that they do not think there will be much Sakellaridis cotton left in January and what is left will com mand very fancy prices. The dearness of Egyptian has cre ated a very big demand for long sta ple cotton, both American and other growths, which have gone up sev eral pence per pound in basis and this basis will remain high as long as the Egyptian market keeps up. We shall be very glad to see you in Liverpool at any time and if we can be of any further service to you kindly let us know. Yours very truly, STRAUSS & CO. COUGHS Quick Way to Stop Them Persistent, racking coughing, which by rapidly weakening your entire sys tem lays you open to more dangerous infections, can be checked often with the first dose of that old-time tried and proved remedy —Dr. Bell’s Pine-Tar Hor.ey. And there’s a reason. Doctors say there is nothing like pine tar to quickly loosen and remove tne phlegm and congestion which are the direct cause of the coughing, while the honey both gives a pleasant taste and helps soothe irritation. It is often astonishing how quickly thiscombina tion relieves the stubbornest cough. But be sure you get the original Dr. Bell’s Pine-Tar Honey, and no substitute. Dr. Bell’s has been known for overaquarterof acentury as the best. It is scientifically compounded of just the right proportions of pine -tar, honey and other quick-acting healing ingredients which the best doctors have found to aid in quick relief. Contains no opiates or other harmful drugs, so can be given even to young children—fine for spasmodic croup. If you want the best, a medicine that often relieves the severest cough overnight, make sure you get Dr. Bell’s. Onlv3oc at any good druggist’s.

WHEN YOUTH NEEDS ADVICE FROM PARENTS A neighbor of mine used to pride himself on having left to his children the choice of their future careers. “I’m quite willing to give them a start in any profession or business they decide on,” I have often heard him say, “but they must choose for themselves; then if they don’t like what they choose they won’t be able to turn round and say I forced them into something they didn’t fancy.” He meant well and honestly be lieved he was doing the right thing for them in leaving them absolutely unfettered and unrestricted as re gards their future livelihoods. But now he regrets his attitude of non intervention. He has reasons for his regret. His children, not realizing the im | portance of making a definite choice and abiding by it, have allowed pre cious time to slip by before deciding what they want to do. Though they are intelligent and presentable and know a little about a good many things, they do not know enough about any one to extract a living from it Immature of judgment, swayed often by conflicting impressions and suggestions, not one youth in a hun dred possesses sufficient steadiness and balance to set a course toward a future career through the changing currents of school life. And this is where parents can help. First in advising, not compelling, the future career, and, when once n choice is made, keeping their child on the road toward it, unless and until his or her unsuitability for it be comes obvious. The rewards of life go to the owner of a special knowledge; this is acquired only after years of plod ding and by “sticking to it.” Youth, faced with the prospect of a long period of drudgery, is apt to turn aside unless someone is at hand to encourage and support.
