The teachers are taking hold of the
district fairs nicely. Practically all the
schools will have something. Many
new features and ideas will be worked
into these fairs by the various teachers
These fairs are certainly instructive and
"A good means of uniting school and
home. 1t requires much work to plan
on "A fair but in the end ii will pay a
teacher to show this interest, Some
teachers have devised a plan whereby
the same spirit will manifest itself in
another way at later time.

WAVES OF BUYING
 IN WHEAT MARKET
Prices Reach Highest Level in More Than a
 Fortnight

Chicago, September 11.-Sharp upturns that wet weather caused in the wheat market today were followed. by decided reaction due to talk of imports from Cap ada Prices closed heavy at the same as last night to 1c higher. with septem- Der at e9l4c and December at 95c. Corn finished s.d%c off to 5sc up. oats un- changed to 14c higher. and provisions varying from Dc decline to a rise of 10c.
 Waves of buying which swept over ,he wheat market during the first half of the session carried prices to the highest level reached in more than a fortnight. Pre- dictions of continued storms over almost the entire domestic belt were chiefly what stimulated the rush to the bull side of the market Additional delays to the meye- ment of the crop appeared to be certain and to make Increasingly difficult any ef- fort to accumulate supplies in stors. Higher quotations at Liverpool counted also against the bears, especially as world shipments for the week promised to show a notable falling off
 In the last. half of the day, rulnors of tentative arrangements to bring Cana dian wheat to Minneapolis acted as wet  blanket on buyers here. The relative cheapness of the corn product was sald to have tempted millers to consider care fully the outlook for bringing liberal quantities across the border. Speculative sentiment seemed thereafter to change radically. and selling became the popular course. Before the pit was cleared one firm alone had thrown overheard fully 1,0000o0 bushels.
 Reports of exceptionally plentiful for age largely outweighed other influences in the corn market. This weeks receipts ct cattle were said to have been the fattest grass fed arrivals on record.
 Oats averaged higher, but the rangS was narrow. Rural offerings remained small and the seaboard demand fair.
 Provisions swayed with grain, going upward a little at first, but then easing off. The volume of business was light.

 Relatively firm cables, reports that the firmer tone of raw material had stimulated the demand for cotton goods and yarns, and the continued firmness of southern spot markets late yester- day, probably accounted for renewal of active Wall street and commission house buying at the opening Predic- tions of a prominent southwestern op- orator that prices would ultimately sell much higher, may also have encour- aged scattering demand, while in some quarters there appeared disposition to eliminate questions of international politics from calculations as to the course of the market. First prices were firm at an advance of 10 to l2 points, and the active months soon sold 1S to IA points net higher with October advancing to 10.25c and Janu- ary l0.77c.

COTTON TRADING
 QUIET BUT STEADY
Nervousness Over Political Situation Affects Trading
 But Close Is Steady

New Orleans. September 11.-Cotton had quiet but steady tone today. Trading was not in large volume and much of it was to even up commit ments over the weekend. Realizing by longs held the market within bounds on the upturns. In the early trading prices were 10 to 12 points over yes terday's close, but for while offerings were heavy and the more active months were sent down to within l to points of yesterdays finals. The close was al a net gain of to points.
 Cables were much better than due and stimulated the early buying. More or less nervousness was displayed over the political situation and fear of unfa- vorable developments over Sunday in creased the desire of longs to iiquidate The weather map was considered favor able, temperatures being seasonable and no rain of consequence was re- ported in the belt, but crop accounts continued in a bulish vein and the weather information had little infiu- ence.
 The rise of 1s points in local spot prices helped steady the market to- ward the close

 Second-Buy baby chicks. These usually cost double the price of matching ggs. While the beginner does not have the trouble of incubation, there are difficult ties In raising the chicks. and this way of starting-like the buying of eggs for hatching-may be followed only in the spring.
 Thrd-Buy laying hens or bullets, pre- ferably bullets, because they usually lay the heaviest in their first year. This method costs more at the start. but Is probably the safest for the beginner. and can be used at any time of the year. espe- cially in the fall and winter when the demand for eggs is heaviest.
 In the selection of breeds it pays best to get what Is known as standard-bred varieties; that Is. those that have been bred for definite purpose like egg pro- ducton. or a combination of egg and meat production. They are more attrac- tive. being uniform In color and will pso- duce both eggs and meat more satisfac- toriy than mixed lot.
 For eggs alone, the Single Comb White Leghorns are recognized as the leading variety. If 1t is desired to produce both eggs and meat the Plymouth Rocks. Rhode Island Reds. Orpingtons and Wy andottes all are valuable, and any of these will prove profitable as "duai-pur- pose' fowls.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

Liverpool advices were of strong market with good spot demand; sales. i2,0o0 bales: shorts covering and small offerings. Spot reports from the south were excellent and prices higher than recent quotations. On this our market opened with good tone and demand which advanced January to 107Sc. Some Wall street selling-in liquidation fol- lowed, holders being tempted to take profits--and a decline which was not precipitated as the undertone Is good. These movements In view of the ,uncer- tain daily political developments are to be expected but 1t Is the strength of the general situation which is attract ing the attention of farsighted observ- CTS.
