quest of the pupils the Ida Grove
board of education has decided to
grant the local high school the privi-
lege of absolute self government,
That is to say. the pupils will be al
lowed to hold constitutional conven-
tion which shall decide on a system
of government in which the pupils
shall make their own laws and pro-
vide for their enforcement. The plan
includes relieving the instructors of
responsibility for discipline in the
school, a radical departure from con-
ventional ideas of school management
though the idea has been exploited
somewhat in Chicago. The Ida Grove
decision was not reached without fri
cion... The experiment will have TO be
tried under new superintendent, the
former official having resigned as a
result of the change. 1t is safe 10 Say
that the outcome of the Ida Grove idea
will be watched with interest by
educators the country over. 1t is
equally safe to assume that the burden
of prediction at the outset will be
against the probable success of the
experiment.

Baxter 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, April 16.-Cotton opened a shade easier on small sales. The early Liverpool market was without the slight est change and this tended to check local oDerations The feeling was somewhat mixed and there was some talk of rain being needed in a good many sections in middle Texas. where 1t had been pre- stunned moisture of the past few months was sufficient to insure start for an indefinite period.
 The statistical situation remains strong and the reports indicate that more small stocks are held at interior points. New York is carrying an abnormally light sup ply hence general fear of being short of the market. Rain reports today were confined to nothing more than a mere trace at a few points and the forecast was for fair weather everywhere. Just what the market may be expected to do is uncertain. The clique are not showing their hand and until they do operations are not likely to be restricted, although the bull contingency appears to have the advantage and are likely to secure further success. despite persistent talk of prices being high enough.
 July was subjected to some special selling pressure during the morning and the whole market weakened on reports of big shipments from Liverpool to New

LOCAL MARKETS.

Cotton was off a little yesterday. At the close of business all grades were minus 1se from the top level prices of Wednesday. The market, however, is quiet. The final quotations on the f1eecy staple stood as follows; Good middling 97s, strict middling 9A, middling 9ss strict low middling 9as, low middling 9B
 Local stocks and bonds are quiet No changes in quotations are noted for yes- terday.
 The present cold snap Is playing an important part in the fruit and produce market Dealers are expecting a general rise in the prices of all spring truck as a result. Although the weather will cause shipments to arrive in better condition, 1t will also cause a falling off in the supply of spring vegetables. Otherwise the sit uation of the market Is uninteresting
 The first snap beans of the season ar rived yesterday The vegetable looks appetizing, but the supply Is limited and no doubt the stock on hand will be ex- hausted in short order
 Strawberries are proving slow sellers. The market Is we'll supplied and dealers seem to have difficulty in dlsposing of the shipments now on hand. Other fruits are fairly plentiful and no changes in the prices are noted
 For the first time in many weeks Morris avenue was well supplied with poultry yesterday. Eggs are now selling around the 14c mark. Prices on butter are steady
 Staple groceries are steady with the ex- ceptlon of meats. Dry saltcd ribs are off 1sc, being quoted at 10ss Dry salted bellies are selling at 1OA, and extra clears at 105s. Prices on other lines are firm.
 Hides and wool are steady.

By c. W. Lee & Go.
 New York; April 16.-There is really nothing to add to what has been previous ly said on the cotton situation this week There is practically no change in the New York conditions, and while receipts at Houston today were rather large the actual amount of cotton coming forward is not of sufficient volume to convince us that short selling is advisable at this juncture.
 The New York stock is less than 5000o bales, and while MT. Sully has disposed of considerable line of May he still holds enough to make shorts very uneomforta- ble should he decide to put on the screws. As far as August is concerned that month seems to be a comparatively safe proposition as regards short selling on every advance above 9l5 cents
 But as far as short sale for permanent investment is concerned we cannot regard this proceeding as anything but danger ous if undertaken in any of the summer positions. With manipulators in control of the New York market there Is really nothing to be said on the value of cot ton or the probable course of prices until this May deal Is out of the way. For this reason we would continue to exercise the utmost caution on both sides of the ae- count
