New York, June 6.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady, unchanged to 3
points lower and settled another point
or so after the call under scattering
sales by the bear element and absence
of substantial public support. The
early action of the market was a nat
ural result of weak Liverpool cables. A
decline of Y to point would have been
an ample response there to the New
York decline at the close last night.
Yet that market was off p to 21a points
at the time of the opening here. The
crop reports on the average were bear
tsh, and leading shorts were slow to
toresee anything upon which to base
fresh buying movement. But before
the close of the first hour the whole
situation in the ring changed decidedly,
and slowly at first but with increasing
rapidity as the day progressed, prices
worked upward. The weather map
gave continued dry weather over the
Eastern and Western belt, and the fore
cast gave little promise of soaking rains
within the next SO hours. Bullish week
ly figures became a feature in the early
afternoon and during the last two hours
the market exhibited a very firm front
on active buying for both accounts. A
single block of $4,000 bales March
changed hands at 7.S5c, on the mid
afternoon call with 5000 bales more
wanted at the same price by the same
buyer. The worlds visible supply was
shown to have lost $4,000 bales, against
a decrease of 5000 for the same week
last year; the American visible lost 49,
600 bales, against 100000 for the same
week last year. Supt. King gave the
Gin sight" for the week as 3S, 574 bales
as against estimates of 10000 to $4,000
bales.
The market closed very steady with
prices net, 6 to 13 points higher the
new crop months holding a firm tone
to the rest of the list.

measure due to the heavy discounts
existing in the new crop months. and it
tends to demonstrate that If any real
serious damage to the crop were to
take place a marked advance in these

IN NEED
WoMEN's CLUBS OF STATE FACE
AN AWKWARD SITUATION
Treasury of Central Body HoIds No
Funds TO Defray the Expenses of an
Honored Guest Whom 1t Expects to
Invite to the Albert Lea conven-

The Minnesota State Federation of
Women's Clubs is facing an awkward
situation. !. Whether it will successful
ly extricate itself depends on the gen.
erosity of individual clubs Of the state.
A lack of funds in the federation
treasury is the cause of the difficulty
that confronts the club.
Beginning Oct 16 the Minnesota fed
GRAFTON will hold it's annual conven-
ton in Albert Lea. The Missouri and
the Illinois federations hold their an
nual conventions a little later. Both
those declarations have extended an
invitation to Mrs. T. S. d. Dennison,
the president of the general federation,
to be their guests, the federations, OF
course, to pay all the expenses.
These federations invited the Mime
sofa federation to share the expense
Of bringing Mrs. Dennison here
in order that she might be pres
ent at the Albert Lea convention. Min
nesota, however, has no reserve fund to
draw upon like the neighboring fed
erations. Mrs. e. M. La Penotiere, the
state president, has therefore writer
to each federated club in the state ask
ing If it will contribute it's share
toward the expenses.
The answers so far received have
been most encouraging, but Mrs. LIE
Penotiere will not be able to send hel
invitation until she has heard from
all the clubs.
In case Mrs. Dennison can come t.

boring states to be present.

wv CAUGHT TNE nlGN FLY
LOWED WINNING RUNS TO TALLY-SAD BASEBALL YARN
THE "PHENoN"

Hobbs and me. the Garnerhursts had
the nucleus of a nine of champions.
But, as usual something had to hap
pen to mar things.
1.-THE Garnerhursts were swinging
round the circle on their first trip away
from home then; and were getting
hard roots. Nothing but tomato cans
and beer bottles came our way, and
when we did get a game 1t was because
our pitchers, who were only a bum lot
at the best held the other side down,
and Pinch. and got in our little drives
when they did the most good. But
when Gus joined US everything was
changed. No fly ever fell safe in the
outfield then, for he played left, right
and center; and the grounders that got
past the infielders he'd eat up and
throw out the runner at first.
"One afternoon we were playing. a
strong team that was well up toward
the top, and the way they were whal-
ing our pitcher 'ud remind you of the
Phillies against Pittsburg. But with
me behind the bat and Pinch at short,
and only Gus in. the field, we were
holding them down, and they hadn't
scored run. Gus had made dozen
catches of long drives that were ticket
ed for doubles and triples, all over the
lot, and Pinch was eating them alive
at short. The only runs we had came
from couple of times I had swatted
for drives that sent men around the
four base route; but they had been
with bases empty, SO two runs was our
total.
I'm the first half Of the ninth, Gus
came up and nearly knocked the
pitchers Stats in with a line drive, and
got to first. Pinch plugged out a siz-
zler to center, and Gus tore for second,
mr. FThaU threw
catch him but he beat the ball mile,
and Pinch took second on the throw in.
That put 1t up to me, and I Implicated
my other two attempts by nesting up
against speedy one for the route
and sent them in ahead of me.
"Five runs at the clip we were play
ing, looked safe. But there is nothing
so uncertain as game of ball, as I
believe the Old Testament has it, and
we soon found it out.
"a couple of bases on balls and an
error by the infield filed the bases,
and the next man up sent a long drive
to deep center. 1t looked like betting
on Pittsburgh, for Gus to nail it, and
then nail the man who trid to get home
from third, but that was where our
hopes were dashed.
.tAs Gus sprinted down into the cor
ner Of. the lot for that drive, we saw
COW peacefully eating grass out near
the fence. She wasn't near the ball, and
she just looked around when Gus came
running up and moved away. And that
little move cost US dear.
'Just as Gus raised his hands to take
the ball, his feet suddenly came up
in the air, and he came down on the
top Of his head with a bang you could
most hear in at the plate. The ball
fell alongside Of him, but his wind was

knocked out and he couldn't throw it
in, and the four runs came across the
rubber.
1--WE found that the cow was teth-
cred to stake in the corner by a
chain, and when it moved the chain
swung around in the grass and just
tripped Gus up as neatly as if he'd
walked into cord tied across the
sidewalk.
"Well, that didn't discourage us.
The next man up knocked liner to
Pinch, and another one popped up a
little fly that Gus ran over back of
first base and took So it looked as if
we might win after all. Then fellow
got another base on balls, and the
other sides heaviest batter came UP.
He fell on slow one, and it went
Gus legged for 1T. But he reclloned
without the ow again. for .iat as he
got near her So ran again, Id he
was trippe the same as before
THAT was all light. for Il man
who had been on first was jus citing
around second when Gus fel. and he
had plenty Of time to get up and throw
the runner out at the plate. But what
do you think happened?
LAS that ball came down that COW
saw 1t, and she tried her best to catch
it. She saw that Gus wanted 1t, and
she reared up and when the ball
landed square on the end Of one of her
horns and stuck there, and when he
jumped up she wouldn't let him have II.
and the two runs crossed the plate,
and we-lost. a
"That hard luck made Gus quit bali
playing. He got guyed so that he quit
the game, and went to running milk
wagon; and the national game lost the
best outfielder that ever put on a
glove"

Tomato Salad.

For the benefit of those people to
whom oil is distasteful 1t may be we'll
to suggest that very delicious salad
dressing can be made with cream. To
serve tomatoes most invitingly remove
the skins, make a hollow at each stem
end, and stand on Ice until thoroughly
chilled. For the dressing allow to the
yolks of three hard boiled eggs one
raw yolk, one tablespoonful of melted
butter, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar,
one gill of thick cream, half q tea
spoonful of salt and a quarter of a
teaspoonful of pepper. Mash the
boiled yolks until fine, then work them
smooth with the raw yolk, using a
palette knife for the purpose. Add
the salt ;,t; pepper per- and tp melted butter.
and mixing all the while. Lastly,
stir in the vinegar, blend thoroughly,
and 1t Is ready to serve. Drop a
spoonful into the hollow made in every
tomato, and serve In crisp leaf Of
Romaine salad.

But it is hard and terribly wearing
To keep up that lively pace;
And it is hard to be SO forbearing
As others leave the race.
1t is hard to look bright and be cheerful,
And carry a smiling face,
When the others, discouraged and fear
full,
Quietly leave the place.
So just try with smile to seem cheerful
And try to be helpful, too;
And then perhaps you'll not be so fear
full,
And everything seems new.
For at least you will find it is cheering
And nothing will seem so blue
AS the smiling contagion goes spreading
Till everything seems new:

Return of overskirts.

Overskirts are coming back, so, at
least, 1t is whispered. 1t has been de-
cided by the chosen few women who
search for a novelty to make one step
ahead of each season, and the leading
modistes have racked their brains to
make the Innovation as graceful as pos
sible. In order not to take too big g
stride they seem not to have succeeded,
for the first overskirts shown are stiff
and unbecoming, and will take little
time to grow upon the minds of the
women who have the courage to wear
them simply because they are novel
ties. The long, clinging skirts Of the
past season have been so graceful that
they will be relinQuised regretfully, but
the eternal combine of fashion and
trade, marks makes a decided change
imperative and 1t must come.
