radiator or intricate oil mechanism are
needed. When doing light work, either
of traction or stationary nature, two of
the cylinders can be cut out. thereby
saving gasoline expense.
The front wheels are mounted on auto
mobile steering knuckles and provided
also with springs which take off the jar.
The front axle oscillates vertically,
thereby providing three point suspension
to the frame so that the tractor can
travel on rough, uneven ground without
stralning the frame or reducing the
traction value OF the drive wheel Tho
right front wheel travels in the furrow
and steers the outfit
When one sees the Andrews" working
lie is reminded at once of Barney Old
fields racing car because of the low
construction and long hood in front.
This removable hood covers the entire
mechanism so the tractor can work in
wet weather or can be left out in the
field without damage.
, The Andrews Tractor is a combination
Of all the best points In other tractors
with several exclusive features Of real
value added. IT has been received with
enthusiasm wherever shown and SHOULD
be seen or investigated by any farmer
who contemplates buying a tractor or
who wants 20 cut down the present ex-
pense Of his teams. 1t offers big oppor-
tunities also for dealers, as there Is no

BOOST PRICE OF SUGAR

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 2O-Federal in

has developed evidence of two combina-
lions. according TO United States District
Attorney Fred Robertson. Evidence was
found that there was an organized effort
on the part of retailers to boost the price

ground for the suspicion that there was
an unlawful combination among Kansas

BAPTISTS SEE RELIGION IN
FIGHT OF MATTRESSES

fIGH Or Wal kESSES
The church has come to the rescue
of labor in the latter's fight for liv-
ing wage and better working condi-
lions.
The Baptist Ministers Conference
yesterday passed resolutions indors-
ing the mattresses in their fight
against Henrici's. They also con-
demned police tactics and urged an
investigation of restaurant kitchens.
The resolution in part:
BE believe that all common inter
ests of mankind have the right to or
ganize for the protection and promo
ton of the common good.
ct is the law of God and the high
est good of man to observe one days
rest in seven and demand that one
days rest admits of no debate.
Wages must increasingly repre-
sent the real value of labor. A wage
of So per week for a six-day week of
ten hours per day is not unreason-
able compensation for mattresses.
There is no excuse for brutality
on the part of our policemen. The
policeman guilty of brutality in max
ing an arrest and offending in speech
or manner the person arrested should
be dismissed in disgrace from the
force. We demand that the COM
plant of rough handling by the po-
lice made by one of the mattresses be
investigated and, if proved, that the
offending person or persons be dis
charged.
Working conditions in restaurants
and kitchens should be thoroughly
investigated by the city health de-
partment and we request that this be
DONE"
The resolutions were introduced by
Rev. Melville P. Boynton.
Hearings of 121 cases against wait
resses we're continued until March 26
by Judge Turnbaugh.

lower leg are broken, the patient
must not be moved until splinter

For this any sort of a board or

ADVANCE |NPR|CE
 IS STEADILY HELD Good UndertOne at New Or leans in Spite of Light
 Business

New Orleans, December 2i.-The price of cotton advanced on the open ing today and the gain was steadily held throughout the session in the face of decided holiday feeling and no great amount of business At tho high est the more active months were 12 to IS points over yesterdays last fig ures The close was at net gain for the day of to Il points.
 A feature of the market which caused much comment was the almost total lack of the realizing which was so much in evidence yesterday, and which worked against values. Offerings were scanty at all times today and a small demand served to keep prices at the advance.
 After the noon hour the main 3timu- lating influence was the heavy export movement. Total shipments of all kinds were 100,S46 bales while receipts at all ports were only 69,152 bales. To- tai foreign exports amounted to S7,5S7 bales, which brought the total for the season up to 2,303051 bales and aDpar- ently confirmed predictions of the bulls that the 5000, 900 mark in foreign ship ments would be passed before tine mid ile of January.
 The days transactions in the spot department, 67S5 bales all told, caused comment favorable to the market. They were the largest sales in sometime.

DOWNWARD TREND
 STILL CONTINUES
Stock Market Traverses Ground of Past 10 Days,
 With General Weakness

New York. December 24.-In its essen dals todays stock market continued to traverse the ground of the last few days. More minimum prices were regis tered in shares of investment and specu- lative value. the list including Canadian Pacific, Baltimore and Ohio and the Southern railway, while United States Steel and Southern Pacific repeated their established low quotations of the pre- ceding session.
 Over a score of inactive and miscellan- eous stocks sold lower than before. Trad ing bore the familiar ante-holiday as- poets, the volume of business falling be- low recent days. Opening prices reflected the same de- gree of irregularity so long prevalent, followed by rallies which carried the lead CTS 1 to points above yesterdays close. The advance appeared to be the result of short covering more than anything else and when the demand from that quarter ceased, stocks fell back from sheer in- ertia.
 Renewed weakness in Canadian Pa- cific and Southern Railway preferred on
 
 the afternoon with lowest prices of the day. In the final dealings some buying of Amalgamated Copper and Reading inn parted better undertone. but the clos ing was heavy and uncertain.
 Weakness of the high-priced railway shares indicated that the reduced divi- dend declared yesterday by the directors of the Pennsylvania. company. with its ; resultant effect on Pennsylvania railroad earnings, was causing some apprehension respecting the dividend status of the other stocks in this class. Declarat ton of the regular New York Central divi- dend on its increased capital stock irn- parted firmness to the Vanderbilt group. A loss of more than $l0,0O0,00 gold was the interesting feature of the Bank of Englands weekly statement. London brokers were said to have expressed dis appointment over the terms imposed for resumption of business on the stoc:1 ex- change.
 The local bond market was heavy on small overturn. total transactions, par value, aggregated $1,10S,000.
 United States government bonds were unchanged on call.

New York. December 24-Cotton was Christmas adjournment.

 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to points in sympathy with relatively steady cables After selling some to points net higher prices eased off or points under realizing. but the southern selling which was a feature of yesterdays trading was not in evidence and the market soon became firmer December notices. estimated at about eooo bales. were circulating at the start, but seemed to cause no liquidation, and steadiness of the near months, com bined with absence of hedging, evidently made a favorable impression on senti- ment The market gradually worked higher with the active months selling some 8 to 10 points above yesterday s closing during the afternoon.
 Closing prices were a shade of from the best under realizing. The new gov ernment standards were received by the cotton exchange here today and will be on exhibition after Monday.

New York. December 24.-(Special) Cables this morning about met our de- cline of yesterday, but our market found little pressure from the south so that prices were some 3 or points higher at the opening, advancing slowly throughout the day. There was further buying for foreign account, which in a dull holiday market was sufficient to hold prices very steady.
 The trading was without any spe- cial significance. except that there was little cotton for sale from tho south which did not seem inclined to follow the decline.
 The New York and New Orleans ex- changes will be closed until Monday and the Liverpool exchange until Tues- day in observance of the usual Christ mas holidays.
