New Orleans, February 13.-rhe spot cotton market was firm, but offerings con- tinued light. Sales 2450 bales, including $50 to arrive. Quotations unchanged Flu lures opened steady at an advance of from 8 to points. New York Is having a holiday, Ilincolns birthday. During the first half of the session, responding to the advance in Liverpool of 9 to 10 points. the local market had gained IS points since Saturdays closing. From noon to the close, realizing sales caused prices to recede, until the advance was almost entirely wiped out The weather map showed cold weather all over the cotton belt. and there has so far not been an acre of cotton planted in Texas, and none of the land even prepared, it is argued that the coming crop will certainly be a late one.

WOMEN AGENTS TRIED
AT RAILWAY STATIONS
Found to Be More Efficient Than Men-Have Many Sug-
gestions to Make to Improve Service-Score
Big Success.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, June 10.-The
Lake Erie and Western railroad Is max
| ing some significant changes of station
agents. and it is predicted that the day
| is not distant when all the smaller sta
| tions Will be in charge of women. -Four
stations are now in charge of women
and 1t is said that their work is very
| satisfactory.
The first woman station agent was APP
pointed at Summit something more than
| a year ago. and 1t was her work that
| first suggested to the companys officials
the policy Of appointing women as sta
ton agents. Her monthly reports were
| models of neatness and exactness. and
she had hardly entered upon her duties
when she made some valuable sugges-
| tons as to how to make the road popu-
lar with the people along the line.
| But 1t was not till the general officers
made trip of inspection over the line
| that the full results or her adTninistra-
ton became known. The station at
| Summit was found to be the best kept
| in Indiana
little inquiry resulted in the infor-
nation that the station had ceased to
be loungins place; that there had been
| no rowdyism since Miss Catharine Dicks
had taken charge: that the doors and
benches were always clean and that the
station had become as orderly and well
kept as any private house in the town.
Prior to that time trips of inspection
had consisted of a scurrying along the
line with stops only at the large cities,
and it was at the suggestion of one Of
the Indiana officials that the general Of
ficers stopped at Summit. Miss Dicks
was not expecting them and had not
made preparations to receive them. but
the station floors were free from stains,
the stove giistened with new polish. not
a particle Of dust was on the benches.
and the private office Of the agent was
homelike and inviting
The other women agents have been
appointed since then. and the officials
have found that the good results of the
change have been the same in every
case. They have also learned that the
women have greater tact in handling

The Biggest Sign in New York Is at
Twenty-third Street and Fourth Ave.

Does anybody know the size of the
biggest sign in New York? It's at the
corner of Twenty-third street and
Fourth avenue and is I7a feet long. 1t
is the sign OF the j. Walter Thompson
Advertising Agency
On inquiry, It turned out that the size
Of the sign was practically an accident.
Moving from the old Times building To
new offices at the corner Of Twepty-third
street and Fourth avenue, an order was
given for sign. How big a sign do
you want?' was the signmaker's query.
Big enough" he was told, '.tc run the
full length Of the Office front" You'll
have the biggest sign in New York" he
replied; "a sign 175 feet long"
Even this measurement of frontage
can convey no adequate idea OF the Of
fee space behind it, 1900 square fee,
upon one floor, and every foot of space

growth for the business OF the :. Wal

There may be some yet who doubt II

doubt that. advertising pays IL Thomp-

that every step of the growth OF the j.
