Washing ngton.-A Thanksgiving ap
peal to Americans in the comfort OF
plenty to renew their efforts to allevi
ate suffering throughout Europe's
vast war area by contributions to the
Red Cross was issued "Wednesday
night by President Wilson. Under the
caption, AN Appeal" it says:
"The day is at hand on which we
bend our thoughts toward a considera.
tion of the blessings of peace and Sc
curity. Inevitably, the contemplation
of our own good fortune must bring
sharply to mind the anguish and the
loss will lie, an intolerable and crush
ing burden, upon the bodies and souls
of our neighbors across the seas. Our
country has poured out generously OF
its sympathy and its means in behalf
of those who suffer because of the
war. But the harvest of death and
desolation is not ended and our sym
pathy must not yet withdraw its hand
"The American Red Cross, through
whose instrumentality hundreds Of
thousands of our people have been en-
abled to give substantial expression to
their pity for those who have fallen
under the stroke of war. is nearing the
exhaustion of its resources. Into its
war relief fund it has received. in
round sum, s1,600,000. In the sending
and maintaining of nearly 400 sur
geons, nurses and sanitaries, who have
carried American skill into all the
zone of war, in financial aid for the
hospitals and other Red Cross institu-
tions, and in the purchase and trans
portation of nearly 100000 pounds of
hospital and medical supplies and
equipment, this sum has been reduced
to less than $4,000 now available to
meet the great demands of the ap-
preaching winter
THAT the splendid work of this or
! ganization, which, more than any
other, represents the sympathy of us
all, should be permitted to cease, is
unthinkable.
81, therefore, earnestly call upon the
people of the United States once again
by their generosity, to assure the Red
Cross against the curtailment or dis
continuance of the large activities in
which it is engaged That this assur'
ance is urgent is shown by the com.
paratively small sum remaining in its
treasury sum which, however close.
ly it may be husbanded, will suffice
for but a few weeks.
Contributions may be forwarded to
any state or local treasurer of the Red
Cross or to the national headquarters,

An attractive calendar for a girl s
room and hatpin holder are shown
in the picture above. The hatpin hold
er is merely small pasteboard tube
covered with moire ribbon with tiny
brass buckles, handle and straps of a
narrow ribbon. 1t Stimulates a golf bag
and a hatpin initiating golf stick
goes with it.
The calendar consists of a circular
piece having two small feet on one
edge cut from a sheet of celluloid.
Two small oblong openings. one long.
er than the other. are cut opposite the
feet.
The face of the calendar is deco.
rated with a painted holly wreath
and gilt lettering within it.
Two smaller circles swing on a
pivot back of the calendars face. with
the names of the months on one and
numerals from / to 81 on the other.
The tiny pivot is concealed by the let.

The calendar is supported like an

Certain patterns in Cretonne are
suited to dresser scarfs, pin cushion
c. yers, slipper bags, candle shades
and other little furnishings that are
required for mems rooms. In the pic
ture dresser set is shown, including
scarf, pincushion and candle shade.
The cretonne shows red rose and
green foliage against a black and
white striped ground. So decided a
pattern is to be most sparingly
used, and the scarf is therefore only
bordered with the cretonne. A
square pincushior is covered first on
one side with small square of the
cretonne sewed smoothly over 1t. For
the other side considerably larger
square is hemmed about the edges and
pinned over the cushion.
The candle shade is made over a
wire frame and consists of circu-
lar piece stretched over the top and
sewed to place. A hemmed strip hangs
from the edge of the frame to which
1t is sewed.

to withdraw frfom the now hopeless
task of capturing Riga and the Dvina

COTTON MAKES
MODERATE GAIN
Market Is Steady and Closes
Strong, with II Points
Gain.

While somewhat irregular, the cot
ton market showed generally steady
tone during Yesterdays trading, with
the close steady at a net advance of
s to II points. The buying was most
active late in the afternoon, when
shorts appeared TO be more or less ner-
vous owing to the comparatively small
offerings, and there was also con-
siderable demand from Wall Street and
houses with Liverpool connections.
Liverpool was lower than due, and the
market here opened at a decline of 2
to points. but soon stead;cd on the
Western belt forecast for fair weather
and the failure of the early map to in
dictate any precipitation IN Southern
Texas Liverpool was a buyer on the
advance. which carried prices about
points net higher during the middle
Of the morning, but after the close
abroad had shut out arbitrage business
prices oased of, with the market sell
ing back to about Tuesdays closing
figures after the publication of the
weekly weather report. The bearish
view of this statement, however, failed
TO inspire any important pressure, and
prices closed at practically the best
point of the day on covering, which
came partly from early sellers. Firm
ness in the stock market may have con-
trbuted to the Wall Street buying
while the detailed weather report for
Texas showed precipitation only in
Northern, Central and Coast sections.
IL is reported that domestic spinners
have recently been rather better buy
ers of early new crop shipments, but
so far little has been heard Of forward
business for export, and the relatively
steady showing of Southern spot mar
kets is attributed more to the frmness
Of holders than TO the presence Of any
immediate demand. Private cables re-
ported an idle market in Liverpool, but
the recent buying here by houses with
Liverpool connections is believed 70
have taken a good many contracts out
of the market. and if no important
trade demand has developed for hedges
against prospective requirements there
is an equal absence of hedge selling
against the coming crop. Southern spot
markets, as officially reported, were all
unchanged except for an advance Of 10
points at Houston, although tnat mar
kct is nearest 70 new crop competition.
Exports for the day were 7,347 bales,
making S.251, $50 for this season.

WEATHER CAUSES
SLUMP IN WHEAT
Market Falls and Closes Steady
Under Tuesday Nights Fig
ureS-COrn Gains.

Chicago, July 21.-Exceptionally good
weather throughout the wheat belt
caused lower prices here to-day, not
withstanding big export sales. The
market closed steady, but 7sc to 1Ac
under last night Corn wound up at
&c to nc to 1c to lac advance; oats
unchanged TO sc off, and provisions
with gains of &c to 10c.
Ideal conditions for wheat left the
market at first with scarcely any sup
port It seemed as if every house in
the trade had selling orders only. The
July option in particular showed acute
weakness, Bling the most open to at
tacks based on an increase of receipts
from the new crop. Illinois points were
reported 10 be offering wheat freely for
immediate shipment, and it was not
until prices had suffered a break of
more than &c in some cases that the
market began to rally. Heavy buying,
said 10 be for France, and reaching an
aggregate of 100000 bushels, was the
apparent reason for the upturn which
followed, but which at no time amount
ed 20 a recovery in full.
Prospects of a bumper yield OF spring
wheat attracted much attention here.
A leading expert touring South Dakota
telegraphed that all the wheat exam
med by him was in splendid condition.

CANADA PLACES
BIG LOAN HERE
N. Y. Bankers to Purchase
S4O,OOO,000 of 5 Per
Cent Notes.
BORROWING NOT
FOR WAR SUPPLIES
Dominion viii Use Proceeds
for Public Works and
Construction.

A syndicate headed by J. P. Morgan
& Co. and Brown Brothers & Co.. and
including the Bank of Montreal. the
First National and the National City
banks. has bought from the govern
ment Of the Dominion OF Canada. 1t
was announced Yesterday. $4,000 OOO
Of one-year and two-year 5 per cent
notes. They will be offered to in
vestors within a few days. The price
has not been determined.
There are S25,000,0 600 Of the one-year
maturity and Sl5000,0O0 Of the two
year notes. though II was said that the
amount of the latter might be in
creased to S20000,000. The notes have
a provision that they may be converted
at the holders option, at any time up
to three months of their maturity. into
twenty-year bonds Of the Dominion
bearing per cent interest and free
from Canadian taxes.
Sir Frederick William-Taylor. gem
Cral manager of the Bank of Montreal.
was asked yesterday if it was correct
to assume that the proceeds of the
notes would be expended for munitions
CT war for Great Britain.
"This statement is authorized" he
said in reply: The proceeds are TO
defray capital expenditures upon pub
lie works and undertakings under con.
struction in the Dominion of Canada. u
The answer 10 the question, said Sir
Frederick. was obvious from that
statement.
Sir Frederick. who has been in the
city for some time acting as the rep
resentative of the Dominion govern
ment in the loan negotiations (his
bank is Canada's fiscal AGENT. said
that il was TO be expected that trans
actions such as these and other Ca
madam loans made here would serve "a
draw the two countries closer together
and result 10 their mutual benefit. The
note sale would provide Canada not
only with the money 70 continue her
construction programme, but would
furnish her with ready cash.
The loan TO the Dominion Of Canada
marks what is likely to be the begin
ming of a new epoch in the relations
of the United States and her Northern
neighbor It is the first that ever has
been foated for the Canadian federal
government. though since the outbreak
Of the war loans for MANY of the prov
inces and cities have been brought out
here with success.
