GREETING

Being Health Bulletin No. IS. Issued BY
Potter County Board Of Health
.sRing out the old, ring in the
new." The deeds Of the year 1918
have become s Footprints on the
sands Of time.n 1t has been q
great year. The public conscience
has been awakened as never before
and modern sanitation aud pre-
ventive medicine have been rec
ognized by intelligent thinking
people as the greatest factors in
warding off disease and untimely
death.
South Dakota on the whole has
been prosperous. We Of the
North Central part of the State are
suffering as much, or more, from
the natural results following the
persistent and repeated errors of
farming, and thru the business
tactics employed by the Walling-
ford type Of real estate men, as we
suffer from the effect. of 4 drouthl
tbat is without precedent. How
ever, we feel thankful, and believe
that we are to be deliverd from
our grievous folly. We hope,
even, to be delivered from that
fatted leech, the mail order house,
the great enemy Of our people and
of our small towns and villages.
We hope that farming and busi-
ness. when again properly con-
Quoted, will restore to US old-time
prosperity.
We realize now that our hope
lies not in wheat or oil, nor in
transacting business after the
fashion Of Jay Gould, but that it
lies in grass and corn. cows, hogs
and horses and in the close appli-
cation to those sound principles Of
business SO we'll laid down BY Ben
iamin Franklin.
We have observed that among
the barren rocks and unproductive
hills Of New Hampshire live a hap
by, thrifty and prosperous people,

COTTON MARKET
STEADY YESTERDAY
Prices Close at Advance.
Offerings Not So
Good

New York, October 15.-The cotton mar
ket was steadier today on covering and
trade buying. with prices closing at a
net advance of . to 10 points. Offerings
were neither as good nor as aggressive
as recently and there seemed to be some
fresh buying on apprehension of lower
temperatures in the southwest, reports of
lss active spot offerings from the eastern
belt and crop estimate of 13,500,000 bales
by a member of an international house.
Trading was not active but part of the
demand appeared to come from large
spot houses and there We're probably some
support from reactionists who felt that
the market was entitled to a rally after
the recent setback of over a cent pound
from the high records of the season
Cables were lower than due and the
early weather map was considered more
favorable than expected as temperatures
were not low enough to cause any serious
apprehension as to the immediate well
fare of the plant. The opening here
was better than suggested by the show
ing of Liverpool and after starting un-
changed to 8 points lower the market
quickly rallied. Considerable cotton was
encountered, some 6 to 8 points above
the closing figures of last night and
slight reactions followed but the mar
ket soon firmed up again on the sup
port from trade sources, renewed cover
ing and reports that southern selling was
much lss active than yesterday. Ac-
tive months sold II to Is points net high
er during the afternoon, closing a few
points Off from the best under realizing.
The talk around the ring did not indi-
cate that the bullish crop estimate is
sued during the early trade had been
generally accepted, but it was supposed
to have checked the tendency of the
trade toward increased crop views and
the market may have been influenced in
the late trading by rumors that some
of the big spot houses were talking high
er prices and that some of last week S
sellers were taking profits on theory
that the speculative long interest had
been liquidated sufficiently to strength
en- the technical position of the market.

WATER MAINS TO Be
/. EXTENDED IN SELMA
Council Acts Favorably on
Report of Fire Chief
Blakely

Slma. October 15.--(Special) 1.-The regu-
lar session of the Selma council which
was held Monday night, was a busy one
and considerable business which came be-
fore the body was disposed of. Dur
ing the meeting Chairman Henry Frame
Itch of special committee which had
been appointed to make an investigation
of recent report by Fire Chief Blakely
regarding the extending of the city water
mains into the extreme northern portion
of the city was read. The report was a
favorable one, and was adopted, and the
council ordered the water commission to
begin the work of extending the mains
as early as possible. The extension of the
water mains to the new part of the city
will give the property owners adequate
fire protection in the future.
Ordinances which had been revised and
calling for the paving or Hinton and
Hogan alleys in the business district of
the city were read. The contract for this
paving work will be awarded at the next
meeting of the council, and the improve
ment work is expected to start soon there
after.

MOTOR DEPARTMENT
RECEIPTS SS1,372
Receipts of State Motor
Vehicle Branch Show
$4,000 Increase

Montgomery, October 15.-(Speciai.)
Receipts of the state motor vehicle de-
partment for the fiscal year ending
September 80, last. were $S1,372, ac-
cording to an annual report just is
sued by Thomas w. Bradford, chief
clerk of the department. The receipts
for last year represent an increase
over the preceding year of approxi-
mately $4,000.
For the last quarter of the fiscal
year the total receipts were $3278.40
which was unusually small owing to
the fact that most of the licenses and
Registrations had been purchased earl
Ter in the year.
The total receipts for the year will
be apportioned among the state, coun-
ties and cities. The state receives sc
per cent of the total receipts and the
cities and Counties receive 40 per cent
divided equally between them.
The city of Birmingham for the last
quarter of the year receives nearly six
times as much as any other municipal
ity in the state. The amount appor-
toned to Birmingham for the quarter
was S1396S0, while Jefferson county
received $149.20. The amounts appor
toned to the remaining cities and
counties of the state for the last quar-
ter varied. s1.20 being the smallest
amount to be apportioned to any coun-
ty. Mobile received $241 as it's share
while the county of Mobile received
$3.50.
During the past year Mr.. Bradford
and Max Porterfield, assistant clerk in
the office. have rendered the state eff
ficient service in collecting automobile
licenses and it is mainly due to their
efforts that so large an increase was
shown.

GOOD UNDERTONE
DESPITE INACTIVITY
Declines Not Well Main
tained-Offerings Are
Scant

New Orleans, Octobe. 15.-The cotton
market had good undertone today. al
though during Il large part of the session
the ring was dull and inactive. Declines
were not we'll maintained, offerings were
not as liberal as they have been and a
moderate amount of fresh buying for long
account put prices up in the face of good
weather and reports of an easier spot
market, which were partly borne out BY
the reduction of one eighth in the quota
tions of the local spot market. Buying
increased after publication of a private
crop estimate of 13,5O0.000 bales.
The opening was steady. unchanged to
2 points down, compared with the closs
of yesterday. Liverpool was not as high
as expected and the weather map was
very favorable. First prices were the
lowest for some time when buying for
both accounts made its appearance. Thfs
prices up about 10 points. The official
detailed weather reports were decidedly
favorable and private accounts from the
belt stated that farmers were taking the
utmost advantage of present weather con-
ditions and were even picking cotton by
moonlight. This put prices. down to the
lowest of the day, points Under the last
quotations of yesterday. Several price
movements of about 10 points UP and down
followed this, but late in thdfsession the
market hardened and went to II points
over yesterdays closing level. The close
was steady at a net rise of 10 to II
points.

.JOCUND CHESTNUT
GIVEN ITS RATING.
Mullet Slumps One Cent the
POund-Fish Market
Good

Coeoanuts and chestnuts are now on
Morris avenue in sufficient quantities
to Justify placing these commodities in
the quotation list The price on chest
nuts is 10 cents pound and the cocoa
nuts are selling for $3.50 a bag. The
demand is good for both products and
the supplies are we'll abreast. Rutabaga
turnips are also on the list now and
are quoted at 2 cents a pound. The de-
mand Is brisk
The only change in the fish market
is the price on mullet. 1t was lowered
cent on the pound yesterday. The
demand is fine and good supplies are
the rule.
In the grain market there is no
change. The brisk business that has
been so noticeable for two Weeks past
continues to be in evidence and the
dealers are all talking optimistieally.
Corn is still a little weak but prices re-
mains sta tionary.

BOTTOM FIGURES
REACHED IN WHEAT
Campaigning by Bears Car
ries Market Under Pre-
viOus Low Price

Chicago, October 15.-Aetive campaign
ing by bear leaders carried the wheat
market today sharply under the sea-
sons previous low price. although the
record for depression had been made
only the day before. The close was weak
at practically the bottom figures reached,
ssc to 5s@4c off compared with last
night Other leading staples, too, all
showed declines-corn 1ka&c; oats sale
to 1lsc and provisions 711a15c.
Predictions that wheat would go as
low as 70 cents a bushel because of the
tariff changes formed one of the ele-
ments that We're used to influence the
market. A liberal increase of the world $
available supply came into play also
and there was fresh evidence that no
export demand was likely to relieve the
burden due to accommodating domestic
stocks.
Big purchases on the decline brought
prices back about midday to nearly last
nights level but the market collapsed
again. The temporary upturn was due
in part TO falling off in primary re-
bushels less than year ago.
Corn went down chiefly as the result
of a selling drive based on talk of Ar
gentine imports being able to compete
with Iowa shipments in Kansas The
fine weather added to sentiment in favor
of lower prices AT the decline, though.
commission house demand overcame con-
siderable of the loss
Liquidating sales forced oats down
worse than any of the- other cereals.
The reason lay in continued free offer
ngs from Canada.
Lower values for hogs weakened pro-
visions. Packers gave the market but
little support.

MOST Of RECOVERY
|SLOST At CLOSE
Little Attention Paid Mexi-
can SituatiOn-Steel Rises
Point or More

New York, October 15.-For time
today some of the ground lost by the
stock market on Tuesday when acute
weakness in Southern Pacific and Can
adian Pacific precipitated a general
selling movement, was retrieved but in
the final hour another selling move
ment wiped out much of the recovery.
The early improvement seemed to be
predicated largely on the operations of
the trading element, whose methods or
mental processes in these days of pro-
fessional markets defy analysis.
Little attention was paid to the Mex
lean situation and conditions abroad
We're again uncertain. Londons mar
ket was somewhat confused, although
the settlement there was concluded
without strain, but Berlin again was
weak. Londons prices for our secur-
tiles We're generally higher and that
market bought $1,000 shares here,
mainly United States Steel and Coppers.
The local movement embraced va
Tiety of industrials, Peoples Gas gain
ing three points on announcement OF
Increased dividend. Steel common and
preferred, American Telephone and
such speculative specialties as United
States Rubber, Westinghouse and local
fractions rose point or more.
New Haven was conspicuous among
the railways for its 2-point gain.
Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Can
adian Pacific, American Can and In
ternational Harvester We're heavy.
The local money market was inclined
to harden on better inquiry for SO
and 90-day accommodations, although
rates We're nominally unchanged. Bonds

pom rs rose z on call. Total sales, par

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, October 15.-(Special. AL
though the Liverpool market was lower
1t did not show the same leading decline
as it has during the past fortnight. Spin
ners were buying quitely In that market
on such scale as to absorb the offer
ings.
We opened shade lower but with a
different undertone. which In turn was
finally found to be based OH similar
demand here This lead to The buying
by one operator with close relations with
many large mills: others followed. caus-
ing an advance of some IL to 10 points
before the movement was checked.
If this demand continues from spinners
it will absorb the heavy offerings from
the Atlantic states which has done much
to cause the recent decline.

JACKSON FAIR GIVES
TWO DAYS TO NEGROES

Jackson, Miss, October 15-(Special }
The last two days of the state fair will
be known as negro day, and 1t is con-
fidently expected there will be a great
outpouring of that race. The fair man
agement has designated and arranged the
old grandstand as negro exhibit hall, has
placed some of the foremost negroes of
the state in charge, and it is stated they
have assurance of a large attendance.
There are thousands of good negro
farmers in Mississippi, and some of them
are taking enough interest in the ad-
vancement of the interests Of the state to
send the best products of their farm to
the fair as an encouragement to others
to follow their example.
