DECLARE COTTON
 IS CONTRABRAND
Formal Announcement in Behalf Of Allies Made by British Em- bassy.-Will Stand Behind Market-NOt Said How.

Washington, Aug. 19.-"The allied governments have agreed in principle that cotton is contraband of war. The exact date when this announcement shall be made is still under considera- tion, as we'll as other details con- nected with thep reclamation"
 This statement was authorized to- day at the British embassy.
 As soon as the official announcement is made it will be disclosed, also that the allied governments have prepared to stand behind the market to pre- vent ruinous depression of prices and minimize hardships to cotton planters.
 The allies contend the cotton states have prepared for a contraband order by reductions of acreage. Some of the cotton interests, allied quarters ac- knowledge, may be affected, and for that reason it has been decided to stand behind the market. The princi- pal reason for declaring cotton con- traband is that it is one of thep rin- cipal sources of smokeless powder. How the allies propose to support the cotton market is not explained here.

Your Real Friends Should Not Al

In the September Woman's Home Companion Anne Bryan Mccall writ ing a "Tower Room Talk" entitled "Our Ideals of Friendship says in part:
 "One of the most common standards that we employ requires that our friends shall always and without fail approve of us.
 But now hear what Emerson says of friendship. He is not setting down any personal ideal, mind you, but a very high and general one. He says: "A friend is one who makes us be our best

applied for permission to apply the rates for the sake of uniformity, as they deemed it necessary in trying to make a success of the business, that rates, regulations and practices should be as nearly uniform as possible.
 "The putting into effect of those rates" says the application, brought about q considerable reduction in re- venue ot the express companies on state business. After a years trial of these rates, the Interstate Commerce commission has granted re-hearing and made another thorough inves- tigation of the matter, and has found that for the year beginning Feb. ], 1914, and ending Jan. 31. 1915, the revenues of the express companies, both state and intersta,. were not sufficient to cover the expenses of the business.
 "The increase allowed in the pack age charges by the Interstate Con- merce Commission will still leave the rates, and therefore, the charges paid by the public, both on interstate busi- ness and on state business in your state much lover than they were prior to Feb. 1, 1914.
 "It may be said generally that the increase allowed will fall almost who'll ly on first class shipments, vnry slight increase being made on Second Class, and none on Commodities"
