EVERY person has his own Ideas In regard to his own home. To
get these ideas worked out properly, there is only one solution:
that is to build It himself. Most people haven’t the time and mon

Ideas in regard to details which, as we all know, play a very impor
tant part in each home.
WE are Just about to compete a modem, stone-front, 7-room bunga

uation with us, give us your ideas and let us work them out in this
unusually attractive location.
THIS home is on a lot 60 by 150 feet, facing two streets, which

EVE IF III
Declares He Can Not Deny
Girls’ Charges.
SAN FRANCISCO, Au*. 28.—E.
Drew Caminetti, son of a wealthy and
prominent family, whose father is
politically powerful, to-day admitted
that he was near a nervous break
down over the approach of his trial,
which begins Tuesday before Federal
Judge Van Fleet Following the con
viction of Maury I. Diggrf, former
State architect, on a charge of being a
white slaver, Caminetti must faoe the
same charge and hear the same evi
dence against him that convicted
Diggs.
In an Interview to-day he said:
“I do not attempt to condone a breach
of Federal law, but I am not a white
slaver, and I will not plead guilty to
the charge against me.”
Caminetti will not deny the truth
of any statement that Lola Norris
makes on the witness stand.
“When Man’s Sin Comes Homi."
“God knows,” he said, “that It Is
going to be hard for me and for
Diggs, but infinitely worse for the
two women in the case. I know from
my experience before the trial.
“That Is where a man’s sin comes
home to him. It is hard enough for
all of us, but doubly hard for Lola
Norris. As for Marsha Warrington,
I feel, perhaps, less sympathy, for
she used reprisal. Anything that
Lola may say on the witness stand
will have no denial from me.”
Not Reconciled With Wife.
Speaking of the rumor that he was
to plead guilty, Caminetti said:
“I am not guilty of any Intent or
action under the white slave law.
I do not 'condone my offense, but
surely It is only natural to say that
this Is an offei.se that Is being com
mitted by thousands every day and
for which there is no impeachment
or even blame.
“I am not afraid to face trial. I
have sinned, but I have not sinned
as thjs Mann act would make It ap
pear. I can only hope that prejudice
will be stricken from the courtroom
when I am put on trial.”
There has been no reconciliation
between Caminetti and his wife.

NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—'Influenced by
a dry weather map and prospects for
no rain over the Southwest Sunday,
coupled with a very bullish report by
Cord 111 on Texas, and Turner’s report
showed considerable deterioration, the
cotton market opened strong to-day with
first prices at a net advance of 8 to 18
points from the closing quotations of
Friday. This was much higher for new
crops than had been expected. Some of
the trade who had reduced their lines
yesterday were good buyers at the
start. In addition to this, Liverpool re
ported firm cables, but quoted spot oot-
ton unchanged, with only 4,000 bales.
Spot interests, commission houses and
shorts put prices still higher when they
heard that all chances of rain where
needed were gone, as far as could be
Judged from the weather map. It rained
where no cotton was grown or where
the crop needs no moisture Just now.
Prices continued to climb higher until
they stood about 23 points higher than
the previous close by the end of the
first hour.
It was the gossip that crop estimates
aro being lowered. Some spot house*
believe the loss will be about 2,000,000
bales In Texas and Oklahoma. Many
believe that if the eastern crop turns
out as it did In 1911, the total crop
will be about 14.000.000 bales. These
early estimates are not worth much.
At the close, the market Was very
steady, with prices at a net advance of
18 to 23 points from the final quotations
of Friday.
Estimated cotton receipts:

HAYWOOD AND CLAK'S DAILY
COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS Aug. 23.—Our mar
ket opened about ten higher and after
some easiness caused by retailing ad
vanced further in the last hour to 11.67
for October. New’ York reports active
support by the interests, which led the
advance early Jn th® week. The Cordill
report and official forecast of fair
weather west with the expectation of
bullish private condition reports next
week were the principal reasons for the
buying.
A short crop scare seems well under
way, but much depends on whether the
intention of getting foreign consumers
alarmed ’ and causing them to enter
more freely in the market for spots will
be successful.

The New Orleans Tlmes-Demoornt
says: “Again tha Government failed to
confirm the previous day’s private rain
reports from Texas and Oklahoma.
This sort of thing has now begun to
get on tire nerves of the talent, and even
those bulls who, In the past, nave been
most outspoken In support of the accu
racy of the Government data are ready
to believe that beneficial rains have
oome to many sections In the West
without being Indicated by the Govern
ment.
“This creates a wide open question tn
the minds of both talent and trade. The
mere fact that there is reason to doubt
the complete dependability of any in
formation on which the rings rely, in
jects the element of uncertainty where
assuranoe alone should exist. More par
ticularly Is this true at this time, be
cause Sunday, the date on which the
Government will predicate Its crop con
dition percentages will be made up.
Naturally then the question arises:
Will the Government crop condition
data be In a measure based on Govern
ment weather information. In so far as
it applies to crop needs, or only on the
actual status or the crop, Government
weather to the contrary notwithstand
ing.
The theorist who depends on the
Government weather reports expeots
much more bullish condition percentage
figures for Texas and Oklahoma than
does the man who accepts private rain
reports from the West at approximately
faoe value.”
• • •
J. B. Turner, of Memphis, reports the
following on the condition of the cotton
crop for the week ending August 22:
“Deterioration in the condition of the
cotton crop Is Indicated for the week in
every State, save North and South
Carolina, where the status has been
barely maintained. In all the Important
ootton-produclng States the loss appears
to have been in excess of what may be
termed usual for the season attending
the gradual maturity of the plant.
“Except In Louisiana, where showers
aided the boll weevil, the loss has been
due entirely to lack of rainfall. In Geor
gia and to a. smaller extent In Alabama,
the plant, which had been abundantly
nourished by frequent rains, was
checked in growth, and gives evidence
of inability to mature the young fruit
unless more rains come. In the Missis
sippi Valley the plant Is hardier than
in the Southeast, but needs moisture to
maintain the promise that has hereto
fore been Its need.
“In Texas and Oklahoma long con
tinued drotith, with accompanying
scorching sunshine, has dried out the
soil and the plant has wilted and
parched to an extent that promises only
very moderate recovery In the event
soaking rains fall at once. The late
growth that rain would produce would
need a favorable fall for its fruition.’
By CHARLE8 W. STORM.
NEW YORK, Aug. 13^-Canadlan Pa
cific showed the best strength at the
opening of the stock market to-day, ad
vancing to 221 for a gain of 2 points
over Friday’s final.
Much of the strength tn Canadian Pa-
clflo was due to buying orders cabled
from the other side, as there was no
session of the London Stock Exchange
and speculators there had to do their
Saturday trading in some other market.
After half an hour, however, Canadian
Pacific lost some or its advance.
The tone was strong. Among the
other advances were the following:
Amalgamated Copper, %; United States
Steel common. %; Union Pacific, %;
Southern Pacific, 14; Reading, %; New
York, New Haven and Hartford, %;
General Electric, %: Chino Copper, %;
Chesapeake and Ohio, %; SL Paul %,
and American Locomotive, 1.
The strength In American Locomotive
was due to a statement by the president
relative to the decision to cease manu
facturing automobiles. That branch of
the business always proved a losing
venture, and with It eliminated, the
financial prospects from the straight
manufacture of locomotives are much
brighter. Lehigh Valley began % lower,
but recovered.
The curb was steady.
The market closed firm.
Government bonds unchanged, Other
bonds steady.
