 4PO|NTS HIGHER Early Advance Meets Con- siderable Realizing and
 Reactions Follow

New York, June 27.-An early advance in the cotton market today met consld- erable realizing and reactions followed with the close steady, net points lower to points higher.
 The opening was steady at a decline of points on July, but points higher on June and unchanged to points high CT on later months. in sympathy with steady cables and on a renewal of the buying movement. which developed after the stopping of July notices yesterday Private crop reports appeared to be of rather a more favorable average. but offerings were limited and prices soon worked higher. The advance was led by July, which sold up to 12aso on covering of shorts.
 The strength of the near positions helped to steady the late months, which sold about to points net higher. but realizing became more active and gem eral in the late trading, and closing prices showed reactions of about to points on new crop positions. while July broke couple of points under last nights final figures. According to returns made to- day on yesterdays notices about 15,0oo bales were stopped by scattering interests, whilo rumored additional amounts were still to be reported suggested that there had been more competition for the cot ton than supposed when the notices were issued.

MOST STRENGTHS
 DISPLAYED BY JULY
Weekend Session Closes at a Net Gain of 2 to II
 Points

New Orleans. June 27-The week. end session in the cotton market closed at a net gain of to Il points, July dis playing the most strength. Buying was based chiefly on the continued hot and dry weather over the belt and the In dications for little change over Sun day.
 The July position showed much nervousness and at one time was 19 points up. At no time, however, was buying in this option heavy. There appeared to be only a small interest left in 1t and 1t was generally con sidered around the ring that the great CT part of the interest left was liquidated by the trading of the day.
 The new crops exhibited quiet steadi- ness on complaints that the crop in several sections of the belt could not stand many days longer of drouth and intense heat At their highest the new crops were to points up. Week. end profit taking by longs pared this advance down toward noon.

LEADING STAPLES

Fear of Black Rust in Spring Crop Region Gives Bulls
 Their Inning

Chicago, June 27.--Fear of black rust in the spring crop region gave the wheat bulls today chance to rally, and the market, which had an upward slant nearly the whole session. closed steady at a gain of ssc net. Other leading staples, too. all finished higher than last night corn up 11s@1I4o to 1ikal%c: oats, ssG5sc and provisions 25s410c.
 Excessive moisture northwest had all most complete monopoly of attention on the part of speculators in wheat. It was reported rain had fallen "A out of 27 days this month all over the spring wheat country, and that the chance of black rust developing before Monday was not remote.
 It was a drouth scare that put up the price of corn. Damage reports came from Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri. Ken lucky and Tennessee. Hot winds were said to have prevailed in Oklahoma for three days with temperatures above 100. Southern Illinois, Indiana and Ohio were also reported to be suffering injury that threatened to become acute unless afford ed quick relief.
 Oats were bought on account of the strength of other grain.
 Provisions ranged higher because of shorts covering

 Now, year ago. question or this sort would have been a poser for at that time We did not have on hand the exact figures to back up such claim.
 Tn figuring upkeep cost for motor cars. the repairs necessary to keep the ma chine fin perfect working order, have n wide bearing on economy of operation. To such an extent Is true that some mo- tor car companies have claimed that, were they to stop manufacturing their product at this moment, they could still do profitable business on their repair parts orders.
 Not long ago, In order to determine just exactly what Hupmobile owners have spent in repair costs. our auditing depart ment gave me a report on all the repair parts sold to Hupmobile owners in the last five years. This record showed that on the 40,0o0 Hupmobiles now in use. that the average cost per car for repair parts haslng mileage at about 5000 miles per car per year, Is 2.7 mills per mlle-hardly moro than one-f1fth of a cent.

New York. June 27.--The stock mar ket fell into the doldrums again to- day. Business during the two-hour session amounted to about 7o,000 shares and the list1ess movement left little doubt of it's highly professional or 1gin.
 Prices of representative shares were lifted fractionally above the previous days closing quotations and sentiment was more cheerful, the Claflin failure no longer being regarded as cause for alarm. Technically the market denoted a strong undertone and traders for the short account. with that fact In mind have become increasingly wary
 Apart from Washington dispatches suggesting further indefinite delay in the handing down of the eastern freight rate decision, the day was de- void of any important news bearing upon the financial situation. Some more railway statements for May were presented, but they were not calculated to arouse enthusiasm, showing gen eral losses in net earnings. Advices from leading mercantile trade centers were moderately opti- mistic, with indications, however. that merchants were pursuing their estab- lished policy of cautious buying.
 Actual cash losses of the clearing house banks was much in excess of all estimates, aggregating over s12,000. 900. which Is trifle more than the weeks gold withdrawals. It is clear, however, that the cash contraction includes some of the preceding weeks outflow of the precious metal

NEEDED A LITTLE EXCITEMENT
So Sorrel Pete Consented to Marry His
 Friends Militant Cook

In the door of his ranch house on a western prairie. Pete Harker-known as Sorrel Pete-sat idly whistling and whit ting when his old chum Mac Towles rode up the trail and stopped, says the Youths Companion.
 'Whoopl" shouted Pete. Jest look who's here! Haven't set eyes on you since you saved my life in that old flooded mine back yonder,"
 'No," agreed Mac; and speaking of that. I'm here right now to remind you of the promise you made then; do you remember it?'
 'Yes. sir! I lowed that any time you wanted anything off'n me, you'd get it, no odds what it was"
 Well, I want something now" con fessed Mac, but I'm most afraid I'm asking too much.'
 'Sho I'll bet you ain't, no such thing. What is it? Come, right out with It.
 Well, my wife and I want you to come over and marry our cook.'
 'Jinkinsi Would she have me, spose?"
 "Oh, there won't be any trouble about that. You're just the style she likes, and she isn't set on staying single
 Jest listen to that! She awful homely lookin?'
 Not so bad"
 ''Kin she cook?"
 Fine"
 Well, I'm a bachelor man. I like women folks and good coolkin us well as any other lonesome old critter does, but where's the favor I'm doing you? LOOKS to me like it's all on the other foot-hey ?'
 Pete, she's the worst tempered woman that ever tackled a rolling pin. My wife doesn't dare go into the kitchen when the cook isn't feeling amiable, and l wouldn't banker too. either. And she won't let us discharge her; we've tried that, but she just simply won't have 1t. Our only hopes in marrying her off, and we thought of you-but guess the sacrifice is too much to ask-''
 Sacrifice. nothin'i" shouted Pete. You hold on till I get critter saddled and I'll hike right home with you and marry the gal immediate, if she'll say the word. Things have been peslly quiet here late ly; no fights nor nothin'; need a little shakin' up. And anyhow, Scrrel Pete never goes back on a promise If an old chum that saved my onery life at the risk of his own makes pint of me mar ryin' cranky cook I'll do it without battin' an eye Come on,''
 It is pleasant to be able to add that, barring few interesting slSirmishes, Pete and his wife, the ex-cook. are now jog ging along in a very fair state of felicity

TWO ACRES EARN BOY
 A COLLEGE COURSE

An Income Of $500 from two acres within few months is the record made last summer by Glenn Trapp. a 17-year- boy. says a Waterloo, Ia, special to the New York World The boy, who formerly was a news carrier. paid for his land with the onions that he raised and made a neat sum in addi- tion on other vegetables.
 A desire to earn enough money to go to college was the incentive for tho venture by young Trapp. Early last spring he purchased two acres Of ground in Beaver Gardens. 10 miles north of Des Moines. on the Perry in- terurban. The land cost him $500. and he made the first payments with money he had earned and saved while carrying papers. -.
 The boy erected a tent on his two acres and lived there during the sum- mer, doing his own cooking and work ing from dawn till dark on his small farm. He planted the most of his land to onions, also putting in n few melons. potatoes and sweet corn. By thinning out his onion crop early in the summer. he realized nearly $60 on young onions. The onions he harvested later are re- cognized by experts to be about the best grade and quality that have been raised in Iowa. He took out nearly 500 bush els of onions, for which he received $I per bushel. His melons. potatoes and sweet corn have brought him an addi- tional income.
 Within another year Trapp expects to have sufficient funds to complete . full college course. His success with his two acres is considered an excellent example of the possibilities of intensive farming.

Gardens on Lamp Posts.


 A unique work is being carried on suc- cessfully in Minneapolis, for example, where window boxes and hanging gar- dens have been introduced into the busi- ness thoroughfares Last year more than 15,0o0 feet of hanging gardens weere main- tained in the busiest streets. The busi- ness houses are regularly canvassed for the purpose, and agreements are made for installing boxes of flowers or shrub bery. A private subscription was started furthurmore to install hanging gardens upon the ornamental lamp posts of the city. More than 500 of these attractive miniature gardens have been installed by an association which regularly waters the plants and replaces flowers when they wither. As result of this public spirited work and at very trifling expense Minneapolis has won the enviable title of the City of Flowers and Hanging Gardens"

 ->>->~>~>>>->~>~-~~~~~-~~~ Is given for those whose time is limited From Burlington the run is made to Lake Memphremagog over the most beautiful road in Vermont, never before logged Al Newport the beaten path follows the shore of Lake Willoughby, the Luzerne of America, down through St. Jonsbury to Bethlehem, the first of the White noun tain stops Then comes Breton Woods, with it's magnificent hostelrles and the world famous Crawford Notch. with its mountain climbing "burros.'
 Circling the famous Presidential range, with towering Mt. Washington overtop- ping them all, one ascends Pinkham Notch to Gorham, and follows the Andro- scoggin river into Maine. The explora- tive one will not choose this trip. how ever, but will go from Newport to the northermost peaks of the White noun tains at Dixville. where a most beautiful lake lies In a gorgeous setting, and thence to Bethel, joining the main trip. From Bethel quick run Is made to Port land, but for the traveller who can spare another week the trip through Maine Is recommended, where one may enjoy the beauties of Rangely, Moosehead, Bangor, Bar Harbor and the jagged coast.
 Portland sits on a little promontory Jutting out into lovely Casco bay, with it's myriad of islands. Down to Newcastle one goes, seeing but little of the coast until he leaves the Wentworth. Then Is wide expanse of the open sea on our left as we pass Rye Beach and Swamps- colt, two of the most attractive of the shore resorts. Now an al-park- way drive stretches to Boston, where one may well spend a day in visiting the ancient landmarks so carefully preserved. Through the "Fens' and beyond one speeds on the parkway ana Newport is reached in record time. Here the "Old Stone Mil" and the fashionable colony of so-called "cottagers' are the attrac- tions. Across the bay lies Narragansett Pier, social sister to Newport with splendid caravansary. Then ensues the ''Sbore Drive" through Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York, crowded with attractive stopping places and teeming with points of historic interest At New Haven one finds the most modern hotel in the state. Then there Is ancient Yale inviting a tour of sightseeing. The run to New York is over the famous Post road, a very much beaten track not yet built to withstand the combined destruc- tion of hoofs. chains and rubber, but with so much of surrounding charm that one forgets the occasional jounce.

Cotton Goods Market

New York, June 27.-Cotton goods markets have been dull for two or three days past following the complications arising from the failure of the H. B. Claflin Co. Values have remained fairly steady because few goods were asked for and few were offered. There has been slight advance in one line of bleached cottons and there has been a shortening of discounts in staple prints In one house where a fair business has been consummated.
 Some large users of duck have been making inquiries, and especially har- vester companies. and wilI need addi- tional supplies in the near future. Two or three railroads have also been ask ing for prices on ducks supplies for the last six months of the year Drills afyl sheetings have been quiet. Dress ging- hams for spring will not be priced un- til the middle of next month There is still an active retail and jobbing trade reported in wash fabrics, printed, and In white goods.

His Motorcycle Vanished

From the N York Sun.
 San Marinh, Cal.-A moro surprised man never lived than Charles Porter, marshal of this municipality. when at one instant he was comfortably riding his motorcycle and the next he stood like Colossus at Rhodes. one foot on each side of yawning ohasm into which the motor cycle had vanished.
 He was making his rounds of the four square mile town. the principal citizens of which are H. E. Huntington and about 10 other rich men, and rode on a thin crust of earth that covered Assure about six feet deep. The motorcycle went to tho bottom, and it required about an hours work with tho help of another man to get 1t out
