able Cables Cause an Advance.

NEW YORK, June 19.-Continued
drought in Texas, western Missouri. and
Louisiana, with Unexpectedly favorable
Liverpool advices caused rise in cot
ton today. accompanied by rumors that
a leading Wall Street operator, who had
been bearish for some weeks, had turn
ed bull.
The Liverpool spot sales were again
$4,000 bales. making $4,000 in two days,
and showing clearly enough, 1t would
seem, that Europe is inclined to lay
more stress upon the Texas drought
than upon the favorable crop advices
from other sections. Then. too, no rain
was predicted for Texas.
"Rainfalls Of 0.25 to $50 inches were
reported in Alabama, 0.06 to 0.50 in Ar
kansas, and 0.25 to 0.50 in Tennessee
The only Texas rainfalls were slight
one at Abilene, 0.t4 at Greenville, and
0.0l at Paris.
Georgia received rainfalls ranging
from 0.25 to 4.25 inches, the latter at
Way Cross, and it is worthy of note
that the last weekly Government report
states that there were heavy to exces
sive rains In many localities of Georgia
last Saturday night and Sunday. There
was a sharp demand to cover by local
and Southern operators. Wall Street
bought and Liverpool sent buying orders.
The market closed firm, with quota
tions to 13 points higher, as compared
with yesterdays closing prices.

NEW YORK, June 19.-It was only
natural that the comparatively sharp
advances in prices within the last five
or six days should be followed by mod
crate reaction. That movement took
place today and the speculative COM
munity, with its customary Indifference
to market conditions, endcavored to find
some specific development outside of the
speculation to account for the decline
in prices.
As matter of fact. there was none.
Crop conditions are as satisfactory to-
day as they were yesterday. The mon
etary situation is not materially changed
and the activity in general business, par
ticularly in the iron industry, is as
pronounced as at any time during the
last few months

Transactions Smaller.

The transactions in stocks were con-
at the same time they were better dis
tributed. The heaviest selling was gen.
orally attributed to the same Western
interests that were chiefly responsible
for the recnt advance in prices. Mis-
souri, Pacific again led the list in re-
spect to activity and sustained a maxi
mum loss OF more than points. More
than half of this was recovered in the
late trading and in consequence the net
decline was fractional. The stock en-
ioyed better support than any of the
other active issues, with the possible
exception of st. Paul.
There was a decided falling off in the
dealings in Illinois Central and coinci-
dent with ii, the stock lost more than a
point. Other stocks that sustained sim
liar losses were United States Steel COM
mon, Union Pacific. Reading common,
and Canadian Pacific.
Other Issues Suffer.
Less active issues that suffered more
than the average were American Ice
preferred, Anaconda Mining. Colorado
Fuel, General Electric, Great Northern
preferred. Wabash issues were excep-
tionally firm throughout, and it may be
significant that on the purchase OF only
100 shares of each stock American and
United States Expresses closed higher
than yesterday. The most effective SELL
ing took place during the forenoon, and
as the pressure was relaxed the market
recovered in desultory way.
The dealings in bonds also were con-
siderably smaller than those of yester-
day, and the market for them was also
slightly reactionary.

MINIATURE REPUBLIC
Institution With All the Gov
ernmental Functions.
THEORY AND PRACTICE
BOYS WITH ABILITY TO CONDUCT
AFFAIRS OF STATE.
Full Corps of Officials, With the Presi-
dent Elected by the
People.

Confined within an area of IA acres and
situated about thirty-two miles from Wash
ington, near Annapolis Junction, Maryland.
is the National Junior Republic, which has
been appropriately termed an ideal repub-
lie in miniature. Several years ago a we'll
known writer on economics and sociology
presented to the public a vivid imaginative
picture of a form of government that par
took so much of the fantastic in its nature
that it was generally considered as not
available for modern application While
the Junior Republic, in some respects, sug-
gests the government of the work referred
of the dreamer, as was that other, but
rather the happy contamination of the hy-
pothetical and practical in appropriate pro-
portion. 1t sustains that theory of govern
ment that actual participation in the ma
TONS affairs by its citizens will foster 10y
atty and national pride, for while the terri
tory under the domain of this republic is
small in extent, yet its citiZenes evidence
their love for the government in no uncer-
tain manner.
A visit to this miniature nation now af-
ter its successes of over three years. Is a
startling revelation to the uninitiated. He
who goes there for the first time will most
likely approach the seat of it's government
with more curiosity than interest expect
ing to see children playing at a vocat ion
which forms the principal field for a great
many men of the highest attainments and
character. He, perhaps, will think of it as
matter OF recreation for the boys and
girls, such as playing house and Initiating
the elders in their occupations like the
children of our homes are wont to do.

will be promoted to the SUPPLEMENTARY.
Mr. G. B. Barber is the farmer and Mrs.
Queen Is the matron at the republic. These
overseers are spoken of in terms of the
highest regard by the citizens, and it is evil
dent that there Is real affection between
them.
The Lesson Taught.
1t is perhaps not too much to say that the
visitor who goes to the National Junior Re-
public with curiosity will come away, after
learning of it's workings. with the sincerest
interest. both In the project and in the
boys. 1t is evident that the system Is
making men out of boys who under other
circumstances would probably be unable to
overcome influences Of a degrading nature.
In this Institution they are learning manly
traits-self reliance, thrift and a regard for
government, and not one of the citizens
spoke in terms Of dissatisfaction as to the
republic or their treatment when the SUBJ
ject was mentioned by the writer. Every
citizen seemed proud of his title and was
content to keep it. The wonder is not that
the boys have succeeded so remarkably
we'll in this government, but that they have
succeeded at all, when it is considered they
entered the place incorrigibles. They
have done for themselves what parents
friends and the state were unable to do for
them, and the best side in their nature Is
being developed under the responsibility.

and members Of the cabinet were equally

to be a devotee of the strenuous life, for he

A Political" Campaign.
There is a campaign in progress in the
republic at this time, and considerable in
terest Is evinced in the probable outcome.
The election will take place December 4.
There are two parties in the field-the good
government party and the grand old party,
the latter standing for the administration.
The conventions have already been held,
and a ticket, headed by Samuel Jenkins, the
chief laundryman, is in the field for cleo
tion against the present officials. The only
citizen who has held more than one term as
president is Gilbert Jackson. the first citizen
of the Junior Republic, he having been
elected to the position twice in succession.
Every Saturday afternoon the citizens.
including the officers, line up before the
government bank and receive their wages
from the hands of the assistant superin-
tendent. They also pay their board and
taxes al this time. While the citizens were
being paid off on the Saturday mentioned
the writer overheard remarks similar to the
following:
John -, 1915 for labor. so cents sal
airy; locked 10 cents for being late at
school"
20 cents for neglect in duties on the farm
The cowboy and chief laundryman each
receive $40, the highest wages paid for
ings the boys paid their taxes, and occa-
sionally "ten- per-center'' would come up
and remind citizen of loan then due,
or else the borrower would ask for more
time, as in the larger world of business.
The wealthiest citizen in the republic is
Willie Klank. The boys have nicknamed
him Vanderbilt" and 1.-The miser." He is
an industrious lad, works extra hours,
saves his money, and is by no means lack
| ing in business foresight. When asked as
to how he made his money Vanderbilt
said: when L can give my money exercise
by letting 1t work for me among the boys,
why, let 1t work
