This paper is undoubtedly one of
the best Semi-Weekly newspapers in

will be of much interest in this Sec
ton. At the same time they are
making the announcement that from
the present date to January l, they
will accept subscriptions on the basis
of three years for $500. In this
way they expect to collect all old

present subscription list to the point
where it is all paid in advance.
This is an unusual proposition for
such high-class paper and should
certainly bring them some fine re-
turns.

AN sO-YEAR-OLD-REBUKE. So
Contrast between Conditions To-
day and Back in 1885.

While we are bewailing our own
misfortunes growing out OF the to-
ropean war, and commiserating our
selves over the necessary sacrifice OF
luxuries to which we have long been
accustomed, it is we'll enough to be
remindedinow and then of the cost
and meaning of luxuries at an earll-
er period of our national life.
In the possession of Mrs d w
Kirkman of Albany is bed spread,
made in 1885 and, therefore, nearly
80 years old, which bears eloquent
testimony of our own utter lack OF
excuseIfor complaint because unex-
pected conditions have for the mo-
ment enforced. economies and self
denials which we do not seem dis
posed to accept with good grace.
The bed spread is of cotton, and
every thread of it is handmade. 1t
is the handiwork of a great-grand-
mother of Mrs Kirkman, resident
of Kentucky. This daughter of the
Blus Grass State must have been a
very versatile lady, for the family
history of the bed spread which Mrs
Kirkmans prizes so highly relates
that the maker of the spread plant
ed the cotton seed, picked the staple
when it opened, separated the seed
and lint by hand, carded, then spun
the fiber into thread, and finally
wove the cloth on hand loom. The
spread has a fringe border, and is
ornamentedlwith an interesting de-
sign, all of which is handmade from
materials entirely produced at home.
How much more an elaborate bed
spread must Ehave meant in those
days than even the handsomest coun-
terpane could possibly mean to the
owner today, ever though the latter
be hand is matter for inter-
esting speculation, though but one
conclusion is possible.
We mention the interesting histo-
ry of this SO-year-old bed spread be-
cause some of US need such lessons
Just now. We think-or, rather, we
endeavor to give ourselves excuse
for thinking-that we are having
rather hard time of it, as the war
in Europe RACES.
But we are not. In fact,we are so
much more fortunate than our
grandparents were, or than the
great bulk of the people of the
world are to-day, that we should be
heartily ashamed to complain be-
cause of the slight discomforts We
are temporarily experiencing. Al

Following One's Appetite

Kate Upson Clark, Tn Leslte's.
 Doctors say that this Is a dangerous thing to do. If you have hardened the membranes of your palate and your di- gestive system. by the excessive use of narcotics like tobacco and opium or of alcoholic stimulants, of course you can- not trust the cravings of your degenerate appetite. But if you are well and sound and fairly sensible. perhaps the desire for any particular sort of food or drink Is as good a guide as one could have for the proper diet. Amusing stories can be collected in almost any company of similar experiences in this line. One hears incredible tales of dying men and women who gasped out a request for fried oysters or mince pie or something equally silly-were supplied with the coveted dainty and proceeded to get we'll at once.
 one lady recently told of . child of four who was lying at the point of death but who begged for pancakes and ham gravy. One can hardly conceive of parents who had allowed a child of that age to conceive fondness for thoso particular edibles.-but this ono had surely become acquainted with them and liked them. As he seemed likely to live but a few moments in any case, he was 9ratified. Smoking hot pancakes, liberally enlivened with ham gravy, were given him until his eccentric ap- petite was satisfied. Then he fell into q gentle slumber. and few days later was playing about the house as well as

ROCK ISLAND GIVES 'L|FE ID THE MARKET

New York, June 19.-Except for the Rock Island securities, which were un- usually active and covered wide range, the stock market today was quiet and flat. The undertone was firm and there was a light upward tendency. Specnla- tors were as reluctant as before to take a decided position pending the much dis cussed decision in the ire, Int rate case.
 Early in the day it was reported that the Rock Island reorganization plan would be announced shortly, and heavy trading in the securities of the company relieved the dullness during the early hours.

PRESSURE
 |SFELT IN COTTON Crop Accounts Generally Better in TOne-LOwest
 in the Afternoon

New Orleans, June 19.-Cotton felt the would take place in weather conditions what the bears called perfect weather conditions over the belt. Not only was the weather favorable. but crop accounts generally were improved in tone. The lowest prices were reached in the after noon when the market was F to IS points under yesterdays final figures. The close was at the lowest.
 The forecast indicated the little change would take place weather conditions over the belt in the immediate future and this increased the disposition to sell Dur ing the morning the market was steadied by fresh long buying of rather strong character, but in the afternoon the ring did not absorb offerings readily. Con siderable liquidation of weak long cotton was seen late in the session. In some quarters it was said that large long fn- terests were letting go because of grow ing fear of a favorable condition up to June %.

SHARP BREAK IN
 COTTON MARKET
Good Weather Inspires Gen. eral Selling-Closing
 Prices Easy

New York, June 1a.-There was sharp break in the cotton market today with prices making new low ground for the movement under more or less general sell ing, which was evidently inspired by con- tlnued good weather in the south. Clos ing prices were easy and from IA to IS points net lower.
 Liverpool was considerably lower than due and the local market opened barely steady at a decline of points on June and of to 10 points on later months. The favorable showing of the early weather map and the official forecasts for good weather again today and tomorrow. as well as the weak cables appeared to in- spire a good deal of local selling and active months sold 10 to F points net lower shortly after the call.
 A rally of some or 6 points followed on covering and some buying which may have been encouraged by reports of low night temperatures in the eastern belt, but the detailed weather reports showed good soaking rains east of the river and the market turned still weaker during the afternoon.
 Stop orders were uncovered on the de- cline which carried october contracts off to 12.52, or 54 points below the high rec ord established after the publication of the June bureau. There was considerable realizing by recent sellers on the decline, but offerings remained heavy right up to the close and last prices were practically the lowest of tho day.
 The week end figures had little infiu- ence on the immediate market. and after having shown relative steadiness early in the day. July broke pretty sharply in the late trading. The talk around the ring suggested confidence that the crop out look had improved during the past two weeks and local traders were inclined to attribute the bulk of the days selling to liquidation.

HIGHER PRICES IN
 LIVERPOOL MARKET
This Together With Big Ex- port Business Keeps
 Wheat on Advance

Chicago. June Big export business here and higher prices at Liverpool kept the wheat market today on the advance. The close was steady. as@& cent above last night. The outcome in corn was ss cent off to sixteenth up, and for oats 1s@ls@14 cent net gain. Provisions fin- ished all the way from 10 decline to a rise of 2ixd5 cents.
 Export sales of wheat here amounted to 500.000 bushels. mainly old hard win ter, and there were lake charters for 600,- 900 bushels to go to Buffalo. The bulls were further encouraged by predictions of a good sized decrease in the aggregate of wheat on ocean passage and by the outlook for a falling off Monday In the domestic visible supply total.
 Corn was unsettled owing largely to reports that the leading bull had sold out his July holdings. Cash demand, especially, east, was slow.
 In the oats market vafues rose be- cause of advices that the crop in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois had shown little improvement since the recent drouth.
 For the most part, provisions were dull and easy. but ribs were strengthened by improved cash demand.
