PRICES DECLINE ON
 THE COTTON MARKET
Weather and Reports Cause Selling-ClOse 9 to IS Points Down-Buying By Houses Liverpool Connections.

New York, May 31.-Favorable weather and crop advices caused some ,urther liquidation in the cotton mar iet here today and prices worked low CT, with October contracts selling down from 12.92c to 12.S0c, and clos ing at 12.81c. The general list closed steady at net decline of IS points on July and of 9 to IA points on later deliveries.
 Liverpool made a relatively steady showing over the local holiday and prices here opened steady at an ad- vance of points to decline of l point. There was considerable buy ing by houses with Liverpool connec- tions and some further covering to even up scattering short accounts for over the government report tomor- row. The demand was very readily supplied, however, as result of fur ther scattering liquidation or local selling, inspired by the relatively easy ruling of July and the favorable view of recent and immediately prospective weather conditions. Political advices seemed to contain no fresh feature to encourage peace rumors and this fact may have helped to restrict buying. At any rate, prices soon eased off with active months selling about 9 to II points net lower during the early af- ternoon.
 Rallies of 1 or points followed on trade buying, which seemed to become a little more active around 12.SOc for October and covering of shorts, but the market eased off at gain later under continued liquidation and expec- tations that the government report will show a condition well up to the 10-year average. July sold off from 12.83c to 12,65c, or into new low ground for the movement, while De- cember declined from 13.08c to 12.94c and January from 13.14c to 13c. Clos ing prices were at practically the low est point of the day.
 Cotton closed steady.

FRUIT AND ECONOMY.

The prospect for a generously suf- ficient crop of fruits of various kinds is said by the expert forecasters to be good Cherries, peaches, plums, apples and the berries are expected to be plentiful. With this in mind, the federal government bureaus con- cerned with such matters and socie- ties of one kind and another formed for the betterment of living conditions are urging that time be taken by the forelock and preparations made for conserving more of the fruit crop than ever heretofore. All of us know that the waste in our fruits is enor- nous.
 Before autumn is again at hand 1t is predicted that the cost of living will be even greater All the staples, it is said, will advance in price, and, at the same time, everything required by human beings, not only to feed them. but to clothe and shelter them, will follow the upward course of the food cost The dollar that buys less now than it bought year ago is likely to buy still less six months hence. Nor is there any prospect of downward trend within the year. Even should peace come to Europe, it is the opinion of those well qualified to judge that high prices will con tinue.
 There is, accordingly, more need now than in the past to make pro vision for the future. And more need to put an end to the extravaganza and waste that hitherto have marked our handling of the fruit crops espec- ially. There should be few reports this year of peaches, pears, cherries, plums and apples rotting on the trees or on the ground. The surplus should | be preserved Growers can equip | themselves at little cost with portable convert outfits, and with their use, convert loss into profit The house. wife, at the same time, whether of the city or the country, is advised by the government and by the various or ganizations interested to increase her store of preserves" of every sort.
 The wisdom of this advice is evi- dent. We have already felt the ef- fleets of the great war-we are, from day to day, in everything we purchase making our financial contribution to the havoc and devastation that the war produces. The need of doing something to offset the higher cost of living is obvious. We can serve our selves and the world at large in no
 better way than by eliminating a waste that is, every year, an appall- ing extravaganza without excuse CT

FINGER PRINTS OF THE DEAD.
Identification System Saves Many
From Potter's Field.

Few persons have any idea of the
broad application Of the finger print
system throughout the world. Most
! people associate it with nothing but
the identification of criminals. And
this, to be sure, is it's principal use in
this country and Europe.
The finger print system does not
concern the living only. At my sug-
Eestion the bureau of identification of
the unidentified dead was established
in New York. A photograph of the
features of the dead body was taken
and finger impression. In numerous
instances this resulted in identificatio
because most of the unidentified dead
had criminal records. Remember the
criminal is a derelict. an outcast, he
has not regular home. He wanders
from city to city. Almost everybody
else in the world has family connec-
tons to whom he can turn in his last
hours. But the criminal is man of
the street. When he drops. there is
nobody to claim him. Before this sys-
tenn was put into opfration in New
York there were between 800 and 400
bodies buried in the poter's field yearly.
The adoption of the system of taking
men in the army and navy has worked
wonders for the government. BY it
deserters are apprehended. 1t also de-
feats efforts of men to enlist in one
section of the country when they have
been rejected in another. 1t also
makes it possible to determine whether
an enlister has a previous criminal
record
My attention was directed the other
day to an anonymous letter in one of
the big dailies complaining that the
soldiers and sailors, by being subjected
to the finger print system, were the
only ones thus punched with criminals
The writer simply didn't know what he
was talking about. AS matter of
fact, the finger print system is also
used now for the identification of hum
dreds of thousands Of foreign bank de-
positors in the savings institutions
throughout the United States.-G. S.
