Church Societies And Citizens Should
Be Careful With Inflammable
Material About Xmas Tree.

Carelessness at Christmas Time In
creases Danger to Life and Property.
The rapidly approaching Christmas
season brings grave fire hazards with
it. The firnsy materials used in store
decorations are of a highly inf1am-
mable nature, usually in close proxim-
ity to kerosene, gas, acetylene, cleo
trio and other lights. Electric lights
pr perly safe-guarded are the ideal
light for decorative purposes, but
improper handling makes them de-
cided fire menace, Electric bulbs
should never be wrapped with tissue
paper or cloth for colored effects, as
the heat from light Of small calibre
will ignite if kept in contact with the
wrappings for a short time.
The average Christmas tree offers
unusual opportunities for terrible
holocaust as the tree and trimmings
lighted with gaiiy colcred candles is a
veritable death trap Churches, halls
and school iloases ;shere public ceie-
bratiOns are held are usually hacked
to suffocation and in many instances
the aisles and other means of exit are
filled with people, making escape 81

NEW YORK. July 19.-Weather con-

According to private advices cables
were affected by unloading. There was
considerable prOfit-t taking at the early
advance and eventually prices fell al
most to last nights final.
Although trading was very light after
the call the market developed a firm
tone, through weekend short covering
and good buying by the larger spot
houses High temperatures over the
belt were the principal cause for the
buying, there was talk of hot winds in
creasing uneasiness of bears, who were
predicting a lower market on reports

HUSTLING MARKS
LAST DAY FOR
EXTRA VOTES
Pony Man Says Bonus Doubles
Power Of Subscriptions Com
petitors Urged to Utmost.

Saturday night the special bonus
vote offer for pony contestants striv-
ing for The Georgian and American
prizes comes to a close, Reports show
some great hustling is being done.
As has been explained, liberal al
Iowances of extra votes will be made
for every club Of $s5, SIS or $50 paid
in for subscriptions In most cases
these bonuses are so liberal as al
most to double the regular voting
strength of that amount Of subscrip-
tions.
Think of it," said the contest man
ager. Voting power Of subscriptions
just doubled! Why, if 1 were a con-
testant I'd stir heaven and earth to
make up a club, and when that had
been accomplished I'd stir things up
again to get another club. Every con-
testant ought to turn in at least one
$35 club a day, and should try to
get two. Then If he falls short OF
two $S5 clubs he can undoubtedly
turn in $35 club and a S25 club. And
that means a good bunch of votes. "
They can't keep me from it." said
one of the hardest workers"
He means it, too! No acquaintance
of his has been left unsolicited So
earnest is he in his desire to win one
of the ponies that he is making the
work almost his sole business.
This Is the day of Miss Robert Har-
bour's birthday party. Many of her
guests have told her they intend Civ
ing subscriptions to The Georgian and
American as remembrances Of her
fifth anniversary. The celebration is
at $40 Ponce DeLeon avenue.

The market was sold early by the ring
crowd on prospect of lower tempera-
lures over the western belt, but when
the detailed weather report was issued
showing twenty-five stations III Georgia
with temperatures at 100 to lOS, and
eleven stations in Texas showing tenn
pe-atures from 100 to l05, caused a wave
Of buying. some Of which was short COW
ering by those who sold early. The bulls
were also buyers and there was little
cotton for sale. 1t is believed If such
temperatures continue over Sunday a
further advance is probable, as IL is
believed there is still some large short
lines on the market that would cover
on further advance. There are several
wires In circulation from Texas to the
eeffct that there is considerable deterio-
ration in many parts Of that State. Sen
timent tonight is more bullish.
The advance in the afternoon yester-
day was the result of heavy buying by
dicks, followed by Gwathmey, which
brought about a general wave of buy
ing The ring apparently had sold short
early, and were nervous over the high
temperatures and the absence of rains,
which are needed. There was very lit
tie cotton for sale and no special in
terest seemed to be offering any large
blocks. The feeling is more bullish and
higher level is expected, as the bulls
contend that any change in conditions
must be unfavorable.
There were several kilograms in cir
culation during the late session yester-
day to the effect that the crop in sec
tions of the Western belt was deteri-
Grating.
