SOPHOMORE CLASS
 INITIATE ERESHMFN FN

Wednesday night, Sept. 25. will long be remembered by the Freshman class, for it was on that eventful date that the Sohps did clip each Freshman's
 hair to suit his taste and Thursday morning there was much giggling in the mess hall as the various hair
 cuts were exhibited at the breakfast table
 This is an established custom at U. of 4. and all Freshmen are advised
 to come unshorn thereby reducing his expenses 35c.
 At the same time old Preps. were instructing the new corners how to become loyal students. About ten new men clothed in pajamas and escorted by a large bunch of old Preps sere-

DuN's WEEKLY REVIEW.

New York, Aug. 3R G. Dun & Companys weekly review of trade to- morrow will say.
 With crop prospects increasingly brilliant. with the principal industries working to full normal capacity, with trade distribution continuously ex- banding and with business sentiment becoming daily more and more confi- dent and buoyant the whole situation, both in fundamental conditions and in volume of transactions Is better than 1t has been for years. The problems now are not those of depression but becoming those of prosperity. 1t is no longer a shortage of orders, but of ca paeity to supply demand, and in some cases, consumers offer premiums for prompt delivery A shortage of labor, not alone in the wheat fields. but in some of the industries, Is reported. The railroads are buying liberally of supplies and are placing heavy ad- vance orders, but there is a prospect of shortage of cars to carry the tfaf- fife of the country. It is noticeable that merchants are now disposed to buy more freely for advance needs. High or unsettled prices still, howeY- CT oomplicate conditions in some trades. Although the dry goods trade is very active, especially in the west, south and northwest yet there is cop. siderable disposition in cotton goois to await more stability in the price of raw cotton. Shoe trade is retarded by the continued high prices of leather and hides From the iron and steel industry, nothing but the most favor, able reports are forthcoming; plants are working to capacity stocks of pig iren are being reduced and the de mand by the railroads and other con sumers is large and urgent The best reflection of the prevailing activity in the steel mills is the readiness of buy CTS to pay premiums for prompt deliv- cry. but many of the larger corpora tions are opposed to the acceptance of this premium business, believing that rapid advance in quotations would initiate against the prosperous conditions that now prevail
 Building operations are active. The copper market reflects the prevailing advancing state Of trade, and the cur. rent use of copper by some of the largest consumers is said to be heayi- est on record. The hardware trade is pointing toward increased activity.

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW.

New York. Aug 23-Prices of cot ton have shown unexpected strength this week owing to hot, dry weather ir Texas. especially in the southern and central portions of that state. This was accompanied by reports that the plant was deteriorating over most ol the state of Texas. Boil weevil and army worms have. it Is said, done harm in Texas At the same time, Manchester has been doing an active business at good prices. From Mos COW comes advices stating that busi- ness has greatly improved The tex tile industries ;n this country are in a very prosperous condition. The price of raw material is so low that even the cheapest cotton goods seems to pay the manufacturers a good pro fit. With the dry weather in Texas, temperatures have been very high. ranging from 100 to 105 degrees.
 Fl in Ellis county, the largest county in the matter of cotton cui- ture of Texas, the rainfall has been light and temperatures as high as 103. In the meantime. a very large short interest has accumulated The idea of many has been that the crop is going to be larger that it at one time seemed probable and that 1t will considerably exceed the requirements of the trade
 large spot interests here are be- lieyed to be arrayed on the short side, and some uptown operators who often venture heavily on cotton have until recently at least been az eressively bearish Add to this. the tig receipts at Galveston and Houston and the apathy of the outside public so far as the cotton market Is con cerned, and We have a pretty clear idea of some aspects. at least. of the general situation of cotton Llatterly however. some of these shorts have been getting nervous and have GOV cred on a large scale Some operat- ors, especially one operator who was some years ago reDuted to be plunger in the stock market have, it k rumored, covered their shorts and taken the bull side. They did tlns it is understood. partly because cot ton showed resistance to further de- cline. They also reasoned that the price had been got down to point where it looked relatively cheap. Futures here are far below the parity of spot cotton at the south. Some of the WaldoGf-Astoria operators who were recently heavily short have been among those who have covered Liverpool at times has shown tend eney to rally partly owing to the ex- ceilent trade situation in Europe Nine-tenths of the trade here how ever. are bearish on the assumption thaat the crop is going to approxi- mate 14000,000 bales or more, aand that spinners at home and abroad. al,er their enormous purchases last season are partly for delivery far ahead. and are well supplied with raw material Many however have deemed it prudent to cover on the eve of Labor Day holidays, which in- clude Saturday Aug.

pointed activity is reported in the northwest, and it Is interesting to note that Chicago reports the best weeks buying of dry goods for five years past Eastern markets, too such as Boston and New York, report more doing in this and other lines, and all markets agree in the report that buy CTS are visible in large numbers Southern trade reports are not equal to those of the north. but this is ex- plainable because of the longer dis tance that that sections staple has to traverse before ii can be esteemed safe.

It's a Ch4nge You Need.

I daresAy you believe 1t, too but you are
mistaken all the same. If you cannot go
away for the change you need-f.nd try
with all your power to do this-then make
up your mind to take vacation at home
and have 1t as absolutely different from
your ordinary life as 1t can possibly be
made.
The first step towards such difference
is to sandbag your housekeeping conscience,
it you cannot quiet 1T in any other way,
and resolve to leave undone all you usually
feel you ought to do-even If you don't go so
far as to do all the things you ought not
to do. The latter Is commendable also IL
you pursue it along the lines of your usual
avocations.

enjoyment in their labors.
I have no intention of making a literal
application of this. Your tastes may rot
incline you to this sort of thing any more
than they may move you to tramp along q

or sit with them in a fishing boat for hours
at time. My plea is that you shall intro
duce into your vacation life something
different from what you have at home that
will be interesting enough to keep your
thoughts out of the groove they have worn
for themselves in your regular course of
occupation.
And how about the woman wko cannot
