MAY: HOLD BOTH JOBS
RURAL CARRIERS PERMITTED
= -. TO BE NoTARIEs.

Inquiries are being received at the Post
Office Department from rural letter car
riers and others as to whether rural car
riers can. under department regulations.
act as notaries public.
Assistant Postmaster General DeGraW
states that while under the state laws a
notary public may be construed as an Of
flee. such an office Is not incompatible
with that Of rural carriers, and that rural
carriers who hold commissions as nota-
ries public are permitted to exercise the
functions of that office provided they In
no wise interfere with carriers duties as
rural letter carriers.
The attitude of the department. is based
upon ruling by the acting assistant at
torney general for the Post Office Depart
ment dated April q. 1903. wherein it was
held that there is no United States law
prohibiting a rural letter carrier from ac-
cepting and holding the Office Of notary
public.
A bill was introduced in the last Con-
gress by Representative Fassett of New
York giving to all rural carriers a nota-
rial. function by authorizing and empOw-
ering' carriers to administer any and all
oaths required to be made by persons on
the. pension rolls of the United States and
their witnesses, who are. patrons of rural
routes, in the execution Of pension vouch-
crs.
Fourth-class postmasters are empow-
cred by law. to administer oaths In con-
nection with the execution of pension pa
perS and vouchers. AS a large number OF
fourth-cass post offices have been discon-
tinued in connection with rural delivery,
the author Of the bill thought that rural
carriers should be empowered to admin
ieter oaths required in connection with the
execution Of pension papers and vouchers.
in order to relieve pensioners Of the hard
ship of travelling long distances to fourth
class postmasters or notaries to execute
their papers.
The bill to empower carriers to admins
ter oaths in pension cases was not acted
upon by Congress, but is still pending be-
fore the House committee on the post Of
fee and post roads.
Under ali opinion rendered March Is.
1902, by the assistant attorney general
for the Post Office Department. rural let
ter carriers are permitted, 80 far as con-
sstent with pension laws. to prepare PEN
sion papers-that is. applications for PEN
sions or for increase Of pensions-provided
in SO doing their duties as carriers are not
interfered with.
1t should be understood. however, that
notaries public are officers OF the states
from which they derive their respective
appointments. and in the exercise of their
authority are subject to the laws Of these
states. If a notary public is forbidden by
the laws OF his state to hold any other Of
flee then It follows that he must forfeit
the Office OF notary public upon accepting
that OF rural carrier, and that he cannot
be appointed as notary public while hold
ing the office OF rural carrier.

Think Cool Thoughts and
Help to Keep the Body Cool

Half the secret Of keeping cool is cool
| thinking Nothing will quicker send UP
the temperature of the blood and increase
the flow of perspiration than to become ir-
ritated or fretful about the condition of
the weather In addition to preserving
serenity of mind, muscular activity should
not be INDUCED in. OF course, few per-
sons lives are so ordered that they can
enjoy any great degree of leisure so the
best that can be done in this direction is
not to hurry unnecessarily. With even
the busiest there are moments when
strenuousness may be relaxed, and none
of these resting spots should be neglected
Other warm weather precautions that
must be observed concern food and cloth
ing. The kind of meals eaten have much
to do with physical comfort, Hot. heavy
ones composed of roast beef. mutton,
pork, etc, should very seldom be in
dulged in. and never in the middle of the
day. To eat meat once day Is enough

COTTON MARKET ABOUT UNCHANGED Business Is Quiet With Little
 Fluctuations BULLS TOO TlMID TO ACT Crop Improvement Has Been Good, Yet Prices Hold Up Well, as It Is
 Not Yet Too Late For
 Crop Damage.

New York, August 1.-(Special.) 1.-The vance of points to decline of 1 point, near months being higher on the influence of yesterdays stopping of August notices and talk of an advance in the spot basis in the southwest as a result of competl- tion for August shipment, while later po- stions reflected a favorable weather map In the absence of trading at Liverpool business here was very quiet, with prices about net unchanged during the middle of the morning.
 It is not reasonable to suppose that in selling the market down in the absence of support, the rings have not calculated in the lack of forward commitment busi- ness and prospective weight of actual cotton. On the other hand, the bull has constantly depended upon the develop ment of an active demand for actual cot ton some time early In the season to ac- crue from the depleted state of invisible stocks, the smallness of the visible sup ply, and from the buying incident to the awakening of those mills which have HiduS Fciy illtic proNlSiOu TOT another seasons supply of raw cotton. But since the bull faction has been too timid to back it's judgment by buying futures, such de- mand as the early fall may bring has not yet received full recognition by the men whose business it is to discount the fu- ture and average the price.
 Under these circumstances, plus the ex- treme narrowness of cotton market trad ing, yesterdays limited fluctuations were logical enough.
 The crop has improved from low to a high condition, and the prospective yield has changed from threatened famine pro- portions to volume probably large enough to supply the worlds spindles and cient outturn from the 1907 planting. But since even the governments percentage condition figures are valuable only as an index to the progress of the crop and do not supply guide to the number of bales to be harvested, the character of the weather henceforth will be the determin- ing factor. The records show that many times in the past excellent crop prospects have been spoiled by adverse weather during August and September. Should such a thing occur this year, when both trade and speculation are "short,' the effect would probably favor the price to a greater degree than would be the cage in a year of normal forward business and normal division of speculative in- terest.
 The market closed firm net points low CT to points higher.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter. z

New York, August Especial. .)-Weath- CT conditions are still favorable, with the exception of dry weather In Texas, which is deserving of some attention be- cause if we have the usual August com plaints they are likely to begin in that portion of the belt Otherwise conditions are excellent and some scattered selling from the south, followed by the ring. caused a small decline In our market during the early trading. The appear ance of few buying orders just before the close was sufficient to bring about a quick rally of 10 points, as no cotton appeared for sale. Some of this buying Is no doubt inscribed correctly to the long interest and some of it appeared to be short covering. The situation remains unchanged although some nervousness is noticeable on the part of those who have been and are still confident of decline in values. An interesting factor which attracts lttle attention Is the small increase in the movement of new cotton in Texas which should begin to pick up rapidly if the crop is as early as we have all supposed.

WHEAT MARKET
 SPURTS UPWARD Claims of Heavy Crop Damage
 Send Prices Up TWO CENT RISE IN WHEAT Corn Advances on Further Reports of Hot Weather and Damage To Crop. Oats and Provisions Make
 an Advance.
TWO CENT RISE IN WHEAT

Chicago, August L. Sensational claims of crop damage in the north west spurred wheat into almost a run away market today, September closing 2AQ2Ac over yesterday. September corn advanced Bc. September oats were 1c up and provisions 2hc to 7hQ 10c higher.
 The bulls captured the wh eat market this morning with the assistance of hot weather in the northwest, the ef- feet of which on the ripening crop may be detrimental. Black rust was a contributing factor. The market opened steady, September but slightly changed at 90Bc to sOA Q901ac. A wild ad- vance at Minneapolis was taken as con- firmation of damaging report and un- der excited covering by shorts Sep tember advanced to s21Ac and closed the short session only a shade below this Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 39S cars, against 476 last week, and 451 year ago.
 Primary receipts were 1,023.0O0 against 9610O0 a year ago. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 636 :.
 
 900.
 Corn was influenced by the continued dry weather over a large portion of the territory whe ere previous sufferings had been reported Reports were again numerous of damage already done and with this taken in connection with the strength of wheat the market received strong support and held 1t until the end. September sold between 74hc and To bc and closed A up at 75c. Local receipts, 145 cars; 22 contract grade.
 The oats market was firm in sympa- thy with other cereals. Low threshine returns from portions of Illinois and Missouri were advertised, while favora- ble returns from other sections re- ceived little attention. The general trade was light. September sold be- tween 44c and 45 1s O Ac and closed 1c over yesterday at 45w451sc. Local receipts were 135 cars.
 Provisions again ruled firm, the in- huences being a higher hog market and no prospect of immediate improvement in the movement. September closed at $1b.S5; September lard, $9.55, and Sep tember ribs at $9.071A.
 Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat, 374 cars; corn, 15S; oats, 175; hogs, 32,oO0 head
 Leading futures ranged as follows.
