The Colby ball team left, Saturday
morning, for its Massachusetts trip.
The first game of the trip was played
with Andover. Contrary to the usual
custom the trip this year is taken at
the beginning of the season before any
regular game has been played. The re-
suit of this plan on the league games
later in the season will be watched
with interest. 1t is hoped that the
practice gained on the trip will be
found valuable in the principal games
Of the season. The makeup of the
team on the trip will be as follows
Newenham or Saunders, pitcher; Cush-
man. catcher; Hudson, 1st base; Dear
born, ID base; Burton, 81 base; Tup-
per, short stop; Allen, left field; Saun-
ders or NeWenham, center field
league, right field. No substitutes
were taken. but Rice will join the team.

For an Editor to Recommend Patent Med
icines?
FROM Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N. Z.
1t may be question whether the editor
OF a newspaper has the right to publicly
recommend any of the various proprietary
medicines which food the market, yet
as preventive of suffering we feel 1t
a duty to say a good word for Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea REM
edy. We have known and used this medi-
mine in our family for twenty years and
have always found it reliable. In many
cases dose of this remedy would save
hours of suffering while a physician is
awaited. We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for cure, but
we do believe that if a bottle of Cham
berlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept
on hand and administered at the incep-
ton of an attack much suffering might
be avoided and in very many cases the
presence of a physician would rot be re-
quired. At least this has been our exper-
fence during the past twenty years. For
sale everywhere. Bobbitt- Wynne Drug Co.,

Average volume of business through mail

New York, July 17.-Except for few
minutes around the opening, the bear
faction had things on the Cotton Elk
change all its own way today and hammer
ed prices down to the lowest figures
touched in weeks The August option was
by far the most susceptible on the list
and fell to SS5. this being just 102 points
below the best price scored eight days
ago.
The market opened steady in tone with
prices 2 to points higher on room COW
ering and light investment demand, found

expected The demand was soon graft
lied, and then the market began to feel
the effect of bear pressure. Point by
point values eased off until holders be-
came panic stricken and dumped over
great blocks of summer and later month
deliveries. The late cables portrayed
emphatic weakness in Liverpool, foreign
representatives here were plentifully
stocked with selling orders, while New
Orleans seemed to actually flood our
market with orders calling for the sale
of the new crop option. Rumors gained
circulation to the effect that an infiuen-
tial long interest in New Orleans was
tottcring on the ragged edge and might
collapse at any moment
The weather accounts were favorable.
Shortly after midday the storm of liqui-
dation and bear speculation seemed to
reach its height and from then on the
market was not only quieter but devel-
oped considerable recuperative energy on
brisk profit taking. But anything like
speculation failed to come to the front
~. The weekly crop statement from the
Bureau at Washington was quite as ia
vorable as had been anticipated The late
phases of the market were rather better,
prices working up to almost last night S
