DESERTED BY GRANDFATHER.
Following Abandonment, Small Girl
Is Forwarded to New Jersey.

Lucy Nelson. the seven-year- girl
whose grandfather left her at a
lunchroom here last Thursday, and
later forgot to return to. her. has ar
rived at the home of her parents at
Union Hill, n. j., according to word
received here today.
Lucy's parents recently moved from
Warrenton, Va. to Union Hill. leaving
her at SWarrenton until they had a
home established. They sent for her
last week. Her grandfather brought
her to Washington. and was to have
placed her on train for New York
city. whence she was to go to her new
home.
When the grandfather failed to re-
turn for her Thursday night the child
was taken to the house of detention
and the police communicated with her
parents. She had tag on her dress,
showing her destination, and the po-
lice were thus enabled to locate the
parents. They sent money for a ticket,
and she was started for her new
home.

NEW YORK, Nov. unsatisfactory
Liverpool cables and reports that cot
ton in the South can not be bought az
present prices, furnished the chief in
fluence at the opening of the cotton
market to-day, first prices being l to
points higher than Wednesdays close.
Trading was largely professional. Of

no signs of aggressiveness on the part
OF those who have followed the decline
of late. Commission houses apparently
furnished the larger quantity of con
Brokers closely identified with the lead
ing spot interests were good buyers; also
Liverpool brokers. The result widened
the initial gains to Z points.
After the call there was good bit
of swapping and buying of some months,
against purchases of others, and at the
end of the first hour the list stood
! to points lower than the opening
The feature of the early trading was
the selling of December contracts and
buying later positions.
Good rop-moving weather was re-
ported from the South, but this seemed
to have no effect on quotations,
During the forenoon there was very
based on wire from Atlanta, Ga,
stating that plantation movement was
very light in that territory and spots
hard to buy, even al 45 points on March,
The market showed increased activity
during the afternoon that trading was
only moderate. Offerings were we'll abb
sorbed by scattered buyers, due to the
expectations of a bullish supply and
distribution report tomorrow and q
bullish revision next Wednesday and
talk of freight room being engaged by
Liverpool for 1000 bales. to be taken
from here in December. This resulted
in December rallying to 1895; January,
1918; March, 1928, and May, 1872"
Sentiment continues more bearish
than bullish, owing to the increased crop
estimates issued by we'll known authori-
ties.
At the close the market was steady
with prices at a net advance OF to I

KEEP THE HARNESS
CLEAN and OILED
A Liberal Application Of Meats
foot Saves Money.

First thoroughly wash the harness to
free it from sweat and dirt. Perhaps
the easiest way to accomplish this is to
take the harness to pieces and soak it
overnight in strong soapsuds. having
the water as warm as Is comfortable to
hold the hand in when the harness Is
first put in If too hot 1t will scald the
leather.
When taken out in the morning most
of the dirt is gone, and little rubbing
with coarse rag will remove the spots
that did not soak of. NeatsfoOt oil Is
in the long run the cheapest oil for oil
ing leather Of any kind and especially
harness, as it is exposed to the action
of dirt. sweat and very often is out in
the rain.
If the harness is not very dry half
gallon of oil will be enough for an ordi-
nary set of double harness. though
sometimes harness is so dry that a gal
Ion would be none too much. A nick
els worth Of ivory black will give a
color and polish to the leather If it be
mixed well with the oil before using.
Be sure to get ivory black and not
lampblack. as the latter rubs of badly.
Have the oil warm and as you take
the straps out of the water run them a
few times through the oil, wipe of
with rag and hang up to dry. If not
then soft enough repeat the operation.
Treat your harness in this way and it
looks like new. and If it is oiled about
three times year It will outlast three
or four sets that never receive any oil.
