happens that when one is upstairs the
bell rings. She thought that it would
be so nice to have the telephone come

And it was a success when applied.

ons, and at such price to the grower
that will be more remunerative than
formerly. BY this process the surplus
of fruit crops produced in many sec
tons in very prosperous years and
which is permitted to go to waste for
lack of facilities for preserving can
be utilized with Il profit to the grower.
This process Solidfies the fruit into
compact, condensed and nonperishable
form, in which it can be shipped long
distances as freight by boat or train
at cheaper r.teS than otherwise and
the concentrated fruit still retains its
flavor and nutritive qualities. This
product is entirely different from
dried fruit and canned fruit" The
process of its production IS Il secret
which Mrs. RawsOn will not tell,
though a woman. Attempts have been
made in this line. but not one of them
have succeeded or seem to have reach

Circulation gets bad. and the nervous

SHARP DECLINE IN
COTTON CONTRACTS
In Americas Market Bids
on 10 Gent Basis.

Cotton contracts were on the down
ward road again yesterday, net loss
of a quarter of a cent being sustain
ed at New Orleans, with more than
half this much at New York. All
months fell below the 10 cent mark,
except December at New York, where
the demand for cotton to cover short
committees buoys up that position.
The week, end figures were bear
ish, showing large decrease in
spinners' takings, as compared with
the same week of last year. Liver
pool was very unfavorably affected
and came several points lower than
due. The into-sight movement show
ed a decrease, but this was without
effect. Liquidation for the weekend
was carried on literally and the buy
ing strength was meager.
The New York market opened
to 10 points below the previous close.
Prices gradually worked lower, a
rally of point or two at long intervals
being the only change in the drift.
The close was at the lowest for the
session, barely steady, and Is points
net lower for the active positions.
Spot prices were marked off 20 points.
New Orleans opened Z to II points off
and closed steady % to 25 points
below the final for Friday. Spot quo
tations were reduced 1-8c
Liverpool was due 4 IL lower
and opened 5 to II points down.
The close was 7 IL to 9 IL points

Spot prices were marked off

In the Americas spot market bust
ness was on very moderate scale.
Receipts were small for a Saturday.
Buyers were bidding on basis of 10
cents for good middling, but offerings

clamation admitting Oklahoma to the
great family of States. According to
promise, Secretary Loeb Immediately
sent a telegram upon the signature OF
the document to the Governor of the
State of Oklahoma, announcing the
fact and the exact moment of sigma
ture. The people of the new state
had made preparations in advance to
celebrate the occasion.
Though Oklahoma's sovereignty as
a State dates from today, the ensigns
of the army and navy will not actual
ly display the forty-sixth star until
July 4, according to the regulation
adopted in such cases.
The constitution of Oklahoma was
written by a convention composed Of
100 Democrats and twelve Republic
cans. 1t is said to be the most radi-
cal document ever adopted by any
state, and by William Jennings Bryan
has been declared superior to the
national constitution The radical
provisions embraced in the constitu-
ton are not favored by President
Roosevelt, who considers that the
constitution makers have usurped the
functions of legislators.
Oklahoma is the first state south
of the line defined by the Missouri
compromise to be admitted into the
Union in forty-four years. It is ty-
pically neither distinctiyely SOU
thern or western state, while possess
ing many of the attributes of both.
That it is, for the present at least,
politically aligned with the Democra-
tic states of the Solid South has been
shown both in the election of dele
gates to the constitutional convention
and in the recent election of state
officers.
Under the prohibition clause Of
the constitution, which was passed
upon fayorably by the voters, Oklaho-
ma enters the Union as dry" state.
