only goes to show that subscriptiors. are
available, if the right parties are ap-

For every subscription of this charac-
ter that comes into our office there must
be thousand that can be secured for
the asking.
Yesterday a lady came into the office
and said: Il want to pay years sub
scripton to The Herald, and the votes
10 go to the contestant who stands high
est in the contest" When asked bv the
Contest Manager if she did not care to
give the votes to one Of the contestants
at the bottom of the list, she replied: :
No; they have made no effort to help
themselves. WHY SHOULD I GIVE A
CONTESTANT 3,5O0 VOTES WHO HAS
NOT ENOUGH AMBITION AND EN-
ERGY TO INCREASE THEIR STAND
ING? I want to help a man or woman
who has made an hontest effort and
naturally the contestant who stands the
highest in the number of votes secured
has worked the hardest, AND THEY
WILL GET MY VOTES" So you see.
'he oId saying is only too true; not only
the Lord helps them that help them
selves, but your friends in this vicinity

The house in the woods" and the
Hall Of the knights" wherein the first
and second conferences at The Hague
were held, the Christ of the noun

Argentina and Chile as witness of a

CROSS HOLDS THE
 HANDBALL TITLE

The Young Mems Christian association veteran athlete, R. L. Cross, relegated A. M. Bruce to second place in the biz handbal tournament which came to a close with this match. In the first game Cross had Bruce at his mercy, defeating him easily by the one-sided score of 21 to j. Bruce came back in the second game by the score of 21 to 19. Throughout this entire game the opponents were within two points of one another At the start of the rubber game it looked as though It was going to be a battle to the finish
 It was with some difficulty that the op- Ponents reached the score 10 all. To this point the players were far from generous in giving away points, it requiring several plays to make point. After the first game it looked as though Bruce had come back to stay, but after the 10-all point in the third game had been reached, Bruce again lost form and Cross, the 'old re- liable," plugged on to 21 to 10 victory.
 This is the fourth successive year that Cross has held the individual champion ship in hand ball Cross is one of the best all-around athletes in the city and pos siby in the south for his age. few years ago found him in very poor health, but regular and systematic work in the Y.

"sicing," or to the left, commonly de- nominated as pulling but sometimes as hooking the relative position of the hands around the club should be altered. A well-known professional says he avoids putting by turning his left hand some what further under the club. For the opposite fault, "slicing,' the right hand is similarly turned under.
 If novices have a fondness for one blunder over any other, it is for raising the body slightly as they lift the club Although the motion may not be more than a quarter of an inch, it ends in in- numerable topping if not stroke com pletely missed. The other most com mon blunder is in swaying the body.
 The most necessary injunction is to keep the eye on the ball. Otherwise the stroke is sure to end as a foozle. And by the eye is meant your right one most ly. The sight is oftenest lost just when the club is descending, which is, of course, the most inopportune time. The reason, doubtless. is that the mind op- crates more rapidly than the body and so seeks to note the flight of the ball. It is a fault peculiarly true in this country where more nervous temperaments are to be found among golfers. The mind should be retarded like the spark in the ignition system of an automobile, until the ball has been sent on it's flight, which means that the eye would still be on the point when the ball was teed after it had left it's demolished apex of sand. The swing should not be hastened.
 Long driving, it has been remarked. rests largely upon the wrist movements, but it should be added that it also hinges upon the speed of the clubhead at the right instant Do not put on the human grease at the top of the swing Notch on the juice" when about half way down, so that the greatest speed is reached almost the instant that contact is made between ball and club. Too early power frequently spells the sweep of the stroke.
 A "Selaffed' drive, the antthesis, of looping" previously touched upon, can usually be corrected by keeping the eye on the ball. but it is well to also moder- ate the stroke especially when a dropping of the right shoulder, during the swing is an additional element in the trouble Standing too near the ball is also a fruit ful cause of "sclaffing" There are also diverse causes of topping" One is through the tendency of some players to pull up their arms an instant before the clubhead strikes the ball.
 A wooden driver is not the only club used in the long game Iron clubs are often brought into such play, most fre- quently by college contestants. who, it sometimes seems, would be glad if they could use them at every point. so fond

COTTON PASSED
 VERY QUIET WEEK
Extreme Range of Prices Was Only 23 to 26
 Points

1 New Orleans, April 1.-The cotton mar lSet this week has been quiet and extreme ly narrow The extreme range of prices l on the old crop months was over only 23 to 26 points, while on the new crops it was over only 12 points. The net change for the week was decline of Il to 15 points on the old crops and an ad- vance of 1 to points on the new. The high prices were made on Monday on the old crops and on Wednesday and Thurs day on the new; the low prices were opened on Tuesday At the highest the trading months were 1 to 9 points over last weeks last prices; at the lowest they were 19 to 9 points under on the old crops and to points under the new
 The greater strength of the new crop deliveries was due to the wide discount at which they have been selling under the old, which led to a great deal of stradde trading, in which the old crops were sold short and the new crops were bought. the idea being, of course, that the discount was unnatural and would have to lessen. At times this straddle buying was all the support the new crops had, but it was effective.
 The news of the week mainly concerned the new crop and the trade situation. Reports from the cotton belt were almost invariably bearish. except just after the middle of the week. when some frost was reported in sections of which con- siderable young, cotton was said to be up Planting made great headway in Texas Louisiana, Georgia ana even Mississippi and Alabama. Some little rain fell, but the precipitation was not heavy enough to interfere with planting.
 Trade reports from this country were unfavorable, but were just the reverse from England. Manchester reported good demand for cloths at good margin of profit and Liverpool spot sales were large. These conflicting trade accounts served to deaden speculation.
 In the spot market prices lost 3-l6c, mid ding closing at 14asc against IA 9-16c last week and 14$4c this week last year. Sales on the spot amounted to 2356 bales against lS40 last week and 330 this week last year; sales to arrive amounted to 1886 bales against 3156 last week and 2210 this week last year,

PELS LOSE GAME;
 KLAWITTER A TOE

New Orleans, April 1.-The Cleveland first team again defeated the locals to- day, to 5, in a slow contest. Wildness of Gregg. a Cleveland recruit resulted in New Orleans getting two runs in the first inning, without the necessity of base hit. Lajoie's error of a ground ball after Kaler had issued three bases on balls in the sixth. allowed more scoring. The locals fielded poorly and this, together with the hard hitting of the visitors was responsible for their defeat. Lajoie secured a two-bagger and two singles and Stovall did the same Klawitter was struck by stinging grounder of Stovalfs in the second inning and suffered a broken toe, but gamely finished the period, striking out the last man.
