THE TURKISH BABY.

Odd Customs Attend Upon His Birth
and His First Bath.
A Turkish baby looks very queer In
his odd dress. He wears over his shirt
Il kind OF padded gown. something like
a bathrobe. and on his little head he
wears a bright red silk cap with a
tassel Of seed pearls. TO keep a. evil
away from the baby one or more
charms are fastened to the tassei.
His arms and legs are bound tightly
after they are Strengthened out by his
nurse, and when he is all fixed he is
put In little bed and covered with
several warm pads. In addition to this
a thin red veil is put over all.
When he is all ready his father
comes in to see him for the first time.
II the child is a boy. the father is
doubly pleased. He takes the child up
very tenderly In his arms and carries
him out of the room. Just outside the
door he rests minute and prays. After
he prays three times he repeats the
name chosen for the baby and this is
the way the baby Is christened.
When the child Is three days old a
celebration Is held and old women who
make regular business of this go to
the different houses inviting the ladies
to the party. At each house they tell
the day OF his birth and the name OF
the baby and urge the people to come.
On the day Of the celebration the
people arrive from early In the morn
ing until late in the afternoon. Nearly
all bring presents for the baby's mother.
and each person as she gives her pres
emf to the mother expresses a pleasant
wish for the child.
They hardly notice the baby, for the
mother is afraid OF bad luck IL too
much attention Is paid to IL. The few
who do look at him say how ugly he
is or something like that and this de-
lights the mother. who knows they do
not mean what they say.
Ii the parents are rich sweet sherbet
or coffee and candies, cakes and ices
are served as refreshments. II they
are poor coffee and fruits are offered,
but the entertainment is much the
same. The ladies talk and laugh and
cat until they are ready to leave.
Another great event Is the baby's
first bath. This happens when he is
eight days old. and his mother and her
friends may have bath. too. If they
wish. The baby bathes first. then bis
mother and then tho visitors. This
bath takes long time and all the time
slaves play sweet music and food is
served three or four times.-Portland
Oregonian.

ACCORDING to international
law it is not only the right
but the duty of American
manufacturers to sell war
supplies to any nation wheth-
er belligerent or not. 1t is
also the right of belligerent
nation to prevent if possible
the delivery of such supplies
to its enemies. Hence the
controversies that have arisen
between the United States
and Germany over alleged
misuse of the submarine, and
between the United States
and Great Britain over the
British blockade depriving
American neutral commerce
of the freedom of the seas.
German submarine warfare
has resulted in the loss of
American lives and cargoes
and the British blockade has
destroyed American trade
not only with Germany but
with neutral countries of
northern Europe which might
pass imported goods on to
Germany. The United States
claims that international laws
are being violated and both
belligerents reply that they
are justified by circumstances.
Apparently all the United
States can do is to protest.
This nation will probably not
go to war because that would
only mean greater loss OF
life and commerce. 1t is more
likely from present indica-
tions that this nation will wait
until the war is over and then
submit its case to an inter
national court.

Mexico.

President Wilson, through Secre-
tarY of State Robert Lansing, has
started new effort to restore peace
in Mexico. He called the govern
ments OF Argentina, Brazil, Chile,
Bolivia, Uruguay aud Guatemala to
join in conference at Washington.
They consented and will act through
their representatives. The confer
ence was convened yesterday to adopt
a plan of procedure. The tentative
plan of the president has not been
made public but 1t is thought the
trst step will be to renew the request
to the faction leaders in Mexico 10
compose their differences and estab-
lish constitutional government by
peaceful means. This step falling, IL
is not unlikely that the United States
will resort to force with the approval
and probably the active aid of the
SIX Latin-American nations.
In the meantime the U. S. govern
ment is rushing troops to the border
to be ready for an emergency.
A clash between u S. cavalry and a
band of Mexican raiders occurred on
the border this week, several bandits
and one cavalryman being killed and
% bandits being captured.

Pushed Ahead
By Advertising

A British journal recently comment.
ed on the fact that whereas the tea
grown in China was formerly the most
popular, it now occupies second place,
Willie Ceylon tea has become the favor.
lite with all classes of people. The
question, What has brought about this
change of taste? is not, however, a diff.
ficult one to answer. AS prominent
firm of dealers pointed out, Ceylon tea
has been literally advertised for some
years. while the Chinese product has
not been advertised at all. The change
noted has been wrought during these
years, and 1t is therefore reasonable
to conclude that advertising Is the prin.
cipal cause thereof As a result of ad.
yertising the consumption of Ceylon
tea has increased SO rapidly that in
many cases China tea has practically
been forced out OF the market. Yet the
actual difference in the quality of the
two is not material.-Profitable Adver.

MATERIAL UPTURN
 IN WHEAT MARKET
Prices Affected By RumOr That Canadian Duty Is
 Soon to Be Repealed

Chicago, October 5.--Wall street
 buying was generally accepted req
 son for material upturn today in the
 wheat market Only about half of the
 advance was held. however the close being unsettled. Net gains amounted to II bc, with December at 99. and May at 1o0A. Other leading staples all finished higher-corn up l4 @ss to %c; oats ls dA to zc. and provisions l12hc to s5c.
 Belief developed strongly that east ern stock market spectators were in- vesting in wheat a large percentage of their profits. The fact that on the | ensuing bulge the realizing sales
 turned out to be quick and heavy did not seem to disturb the opinion, and was ascribed chiefly to pressure oi Canadian wheat at Minneapolis and gossip that the Canadian duty on ship ments to the United States would soon be repealed
 Falling off in receipts northwest and here as we'll gave the bulls an advan- tage that was made the most of, espe- cially during the first half of the day Another source of strength lay in the news that Liverpool quotations were on the advance. British millers re- ported nervous and the estimates of the French crop shortage raised to 100, 100000 bushels. On the other hand, the difficulty of obtaining freight room to Europe, seemed to be ! more than ever acute.
 Corn values rose mainly as a result of freezing temperatures accompanied
 by some reports of crop damage. Bear leaders. however, were aggressive sellers on the advance.
 Oats followed corn. Shorts were the best buyers.
 Provisions jumped in consequence ol ! reports of immense transactions in cash meats and lard and because ol I higher prices on hogs. It was said l 10000 tierces of lard had been solo for shipment to Europe and that g. l 000.000 pounds of bellies had also been disposed of.

COTTON ADVANCES
 TWO DOLLARS
Buying Active and Predic- tion Is Made That Prices
 Will Soar Higher

New York October 5.--An additional ad- vance of approximately S a bale reflected a further scaling down of crop estimates in the cotton market this morning, but at
 traote6 heavy realizing as we'll as some
 selling for a reaction unoer which about
 half the gains were lost with the close
 steady, l6 to 2s points net higher, Jan
 usry closing at 12.eSc
 The market opened firm at an advance
 Of 24 to 37 points in response to higher
 Liverpool cables, bullish overnight advices
 from southern spot markets the unfav-
 orablc $ ing of the weather map, which
 ndicate~ more or less general rains. and a light frost at Oklahoma City and pre-
 dictions of bullish weekly report tomor-
 row There was good deal of realizing and considerable Liverpool selling around the initial figures, and prices soon re- acted to 10 points from the best, but there was very big outside demand. while the foreign selling diminished after
 the close abroad and the market here soon developed increased f1rmness on frost pre- dicticns and bulish weather details. Many of yesterdays sellers for profits appeared to be replacing their cotton. while all houses with southern connections were well supplied with buying orders and prices during the middle of the morning
 sold 70 to A points net higher or up to lsc for December, 1s.2oc for January and IS. 47c for March.
 This represented an advance of fully s6. 5o per bale from the low level of last Friday, and realizing again became very heavy, particularly from Wall street sources, which may have been influenced by the easier ruling of the stock market. Buying continued active, and there were
 many predictions around the ring of ulti-
 mately much higher values, but the de- cline carried December off to 12.79c, Janu-
 ary to 12 s6c and March to IS. .23c or some 20 ot 24 points under the high level of the morning during the late trading. Liver pool cabled that the south was showing
 more anxiety to sell and that the advance hao checked consumption, but there seemed very little hedge selling in the local market, and there were rumors that l srinners were buying December on the early advance. Exports today were IS. 405 | bales. making 70O4s2 so far this season.

cumuiate one-auarter Of their needs. At present they are talking that specu- lators have bought spot cotton and scarcely any has been shipped out. This talk Is silly in face of the weekly figures which show q diametrically opposite state of affairs. Though it is quite possible that late purchasers may have much cotton on hand and that buyers and sellers are widely apart in their ideas as to what it should sell for. But this condition cannot exist long and but one thing is necessary to bring the buyer to time and that is for the seller to market his cotton slowly. We all know what cotton brought in 1909-10 and the same bulls that made the spot peo- .ple settle around IS cents in that year are behind this move, and all that Is necessary to make it success is for the farmer and merchant to stand firm and cooperate with the big fellows who saw conditions first and made even present prices possible by theii nerve and money.
 I would not advise anyone to take a speculative interest in tho market unless they could put ample margins behind their accounts. A market witt big upward swings inevitably ha, equally big downward swings. but tC those who can put s or more a bal, on their contracts can absolutely rel, on huge profits.
