Report Causes Cotton To Drop''
New Orleans, Oct. 8.—The govern
ment crop report giving the indicated
yield as 14,915,000 bales, a moderate
increase over a month ago, was some
what larger than traders expected. As
a result when trading was resumed
after the usual recess, prices opened
30 poiiits down on October, 35 points
dow’n on December, and 29 to 31 points
down on later months. This was con
sidered only a moderate decline but
the market liad well liuidated in ad
vance of the bureau report. Trading
was very active following the resump
tion of business.

To keep pace with the ever-grow
ing demand for Vicks VapoRub, the
external treatment for colds, an
other increase is being made in the
figure of the Vicks slogan, made
famous w'hen Vicks reached “17
Million Jars Used Yearly.”
Only a .short time ago, the well
known ”17 Million” was raised to
“21 Million.” Again this figure has
been cutgrowm, as more and more
people turn to tliis better way of
treating colda There are now “Over
26 Million Jars Used Yearly” — a
jar for every family in the United
States.
A generation ago, when Vicks was
originated, the idea of treating colds
%vithout “dosing” was almost un
heard of. Today, the whole trend of
medical practice is away from need
less "dosing”.
Mothers especially have appreci

out risk of upsetting children’s del

is the world's greatest paint bargain. Come in and
we will prove this in the most convincing way — with a
complete estimate on the amount of SWP needed to paint
your entire house. It costs less to paint your house with
SW'P because fewer gallons are needed. This fine paint
has such a wonderful body that each gallon thoroughly
covers many more square feet of surface.
In addition to what you save on first cost, think of how
much you save on repainting. SWP lasts five years, on the
average—over twice as long as cheaper paint would.
SW’P with its positive protection—long durability and
clean, rich colors that retain their beauty to the very last
—gives you the best possible paint job.
Now is the time to paint. Re
