win Elect School superintend ent.

County Supt. r. N. Olry, OF Denison,
was over last week in attendance at
the teachers meeting. Mr.. Olry has
for several years kindly. consented to
assist in the judging Of the school ex-
hibits at our annual corn and poultry
shows and has met with the local
board OF education on several Occas-
ions to give help and advice relative
to matters pertaining to our schools,
this being true generally throughout
the county and at this time when the
election OF county superintendent is
to be made We feel quite sure that
these things will not be forgotten. In
Mr.. Olry, Crawford county has with
out question, one of the most compe.
tent and progressive superintendent
the schools of this county have ever
had and under his administration the
schools of this county have been most
successful. He is entitled to be re-
tanned in this position and we feel
quite sure that when the presidents
of the school townships and independ-
ent districts OF Crawford county meet
in convention at Denison on the 9th
day of April to elect superintendent
under the new law, that Mr.. Olry will
be the unanimous choice of the elect
Ors and that we may have him at the
helm of the Crawford county schools

MODERATE ACTIVITY
IN COTTON GOODS
Steadiness of Trading Indicates
Market Conditions Are Sound.

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 26.-The cot
ton goods markets showed a moderate
amount of activity last week. The de-
mand for the most part embodied sew
eral styles, both wide and narrow, and
some of the takings were comfortably
large. Buyers confined their attention
to the wider styles, and In 4 number Of
instances endeavored to have mills &C
cept contracts for deliveries TO extend
through the first four months Of the
new year. While business during the
week cannot be said 20 be large. still
there was a sufficient amount Of stead
ness to trading TO indicate that market
conditions are sound.
The matter Of shortage Of dyestuffs
has been the means Of holding down
the demand, among printers partlcu-
larry. A shortage of dyes means cur
tailment of the demand from printers
for gray goods.
Cotton has not ruled high for the
most part. Reports show that buyers
are in need of sateens and twills, and
some of the purchases which have been
made are Of moderate proportions. The
sales for the week are estimated at
100000 pieces, Of which about $4,000
pieces are spots, the rest TO be deliv-
cred during the early part of the new
year.

This purchase OF copper, coming with
reports Of good domestic buying, sent
the metal 10 quotations above p cents
a pound and furnished the stimulus to
which the stock market responded last
week. For the first few days trading
was limited and price movements were
narrow. The copper stocks, with this
strength of the metal, were actively
purchased, and their advance caused
some frmness in the general list. Later
the whole list showed improvement.
The markets, however were still pro
fessional, and trading in bonds and
stocks reached no large proportions.

my son:

Peru in the abundance of her min
erals is the real treasure chest Of South
America. The country has territorial
extension of upward of 100000 square
miles. Callao, the chief port, by the
ocean route through the Panama canal
is within POO miles as near to New
York as is the City of Mexico by rail.
The Amazon port of Iquitos, 2,1OO
miles from Para, is reached in shorter
time by steamers from New York than
by the overland journey from Lima,
the capital. The country, which has
about 100000 inhabitants, is divided
into three distinct Zones with as many
varieties of climate, products and soil.
These are the coast zone, the sierra or
mountain zone, which includes the
great tablelands and valleys Of the
Andes, and the montanic or forest re-
@ion, which stretches from the eastern
slopes of the Andes to the vast river
basin of the interior Peru's resources
are both agricultural and mineral.
The principal agricultural export prod
ucts are rubber. cotton, cane sugar and
alpaca wool.-Exchange.
