WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Reports of Storm Which Struck Western Texas Brought Prices Almost to Summers Highest Level.

New Orleans, La, Aug. 2O-Fluc- tuatlons Tn the cotton market last week were within moderate limits. For while the West Indian hurri- cane, which struck Western Texas, was the dominating influence and caused an advance on which prices rose to within about 50 cents bale of the highest levels reached this summer, but on the week end the prevailing opinion seemed to be that the storm had not done much damage to the Texas crop and that the rains accompanying it would be of great benefit.
 The high prices were reached Fri day, when the market stood 24 to 25 points over the level of the previous weeks close. Last prices were at net gain of 2 to F points. The low est prices were made Tuesday, when the trading months were to points under the previous ~eek's final quo- tations.
 The condition of the crop as whole caused much discussion and probably will be one of the main features of this week. A private bureau put out a condition report of 69.8 per cent of normal, falling off of S2 points for the month and pointing to govern ment report of GAL, which would be the lowest since 1909. The August condition period ends next Friday and the figures will be issued August 31.

BATTLE IN BALKANS
 EXTENDS l5O MILES
Allies Attack in Center and Bull garIans on Left-Russians Claim Further Advances in StOkhOd Region.

Paris, Aug. 20.-Reports from Sa- loniki show that the general engage ment which began Friday is continu- ing with intensity over an extended front from Florina, near Monastir, to the River Struma. This represents an irregular line of 150 miles.
 Gen. Sarrail is directing the united operations of the allies with Gen. Cor donnier commanding the French. The operations have been long expected as a part of the allies co-ordinated of fensive on all fronts. They follow the arrival of Gen. Cordonnier after ex- tended conferences with officials here.
 Advices received in Paris indicate that the Germans and Bulgarians are seeking to anticipate the movement by taking the offensive on the left, where the Servians had moved up to within 25 miles of Monastir, holding Florina as an observation post. Their orders were not to attempt to retain Florina if they were attacked.
 The Servian war office says the Bulgarians were thrown back on the old positions, but that later the Ser vians, following instructions, evacu- ated Florina, which the Bulgarians then occupied.
 The Servians retired slowly and later delivered a heavy counter at tack against large Bulgarian force Idebouching from Florina toward Ban feat Fighting continues in this re- zion.
 In the center French and British forces near Lake Doiran followed an intense bombardment with infantry attacks, in which the British occupied the strategic point of Colzeli. Farther east the French right rushed series of small villages in much the manner the French right carried villages on the Somme front.
 The situation along the whole line is regarded as satisfactory for the allies
 Operations Are Extending
 There is every indication that pre- i lminary operations are extending rap- idly.
 The official report of operations on the Saloniki front, from the French army of the east, follows:
 East of Kavala, Bulgarians have crossed the Nestos (Mesta) in small force and are sending patrols forward in the direction of Kavala.
 "In the region of the Struma the enemy occupied the Greek forts of Lise and Starcista on the right bank and advanced some troops to the ap- breaches to the river.
 West of the Struma, Bulgarian attacks on Puroj Manion were stopped l by our fire. Near Lake Doiran, Brit ish troops repulsed Bulgarian attacks on Dodgeh On the western bank of the Vardar there was rather brisk shelling, especially toward Majadaj.
 In the region south of Monastir, fighting continues at the approaches to Banica between Servian advance guards and Bulgarian forces debouch- ing from Florina."

SHARP DUNAWAY GREAT
 PRACTICAL JOKER

Little Rock, Aug. D." Sharp Dunaway is a great practical joker. He has a new one that works like a charm. A young negro will approach him as he stands talking with an off cer, and Sharp will stop him with the query, Say, Jim, have been looking for you several days, to pay you that 50 cents I owe you. Here is your money; you remember that pint of whiskey 1 got from you the other day?"
 No, sir, boss, l didn't sell you no whiskey, l sure don't know nothin' bout no whiskey," and the negro starts running and doesn't stop until he gets out of sight of the tempter.

The Greek port of Kavala is on the Aegean Sea, so miles from Saloniki and 20 miles west of the Bulgarian border. The river referred to in the official French report as having been crossed by the Bulgarians probably is the Mesta, which flows from Bul- garia through the northeastern ex- tremity of Greece and enters the Aegean near the reco-Bulgarian border.
 The Struma, on which are situated the two Greek forts occupied by the Bulgarians, is some distance west of the Mesta, with an outlet into the Aegean near Orfani.

No principle is coming more to the fore in the rapid ad-
vancement of new ideas as the result of investigation and
experience along the lines of game protection, progaga-
ton and conservation, than that of the game sanctuary or
refuge. It is becoming clear to those whose active pratic-
ipation in field work gives opportunity for wide observa-
ton, as we'll as those who have analysed and made deduc-
lions from the results obtained in the various states, that
in order to counterbalance the ravages made by the
sportsman's legal pursuit of game, and by illicit and sur
~reptitious slaughter, which it seems almost impossible to
wholly eliminate and which prevails to an extent not
clearly realized by the majority of the people, a substan-
tiaX percentage of restoration and propagation must be at.
tanned.
When it is remembered that to the causes of depletion
already mentioned must be added the continual dimlnu-
ton of the supply by the hostile operation of the elements
themselves in untoward seasons, and the preying OF nat
ural enemies on land and from the air, two sources of dan
ger against which no species has shown itself able to sur
vive when reduced by other causes to a certain minimum
percentage of numbers, it is easily seen that both artlflc-
ial and natural means of propagation must be resorted to
to obtain any considerable concrete results. Also to en-
courage and get the best results from natural propaga-
zion in a wild state, at least in sections of denser human
population there must be absolute sanctuary for game, IN
sufficient amount to insure practical results, where the
young may be reared and grow to maturity in security
from predatory enemies, whether man or vermln, and
with an assured supply of food under the most favorable
climatic conditions. Here is the wherefore of the game
refuge.
We have nailed to the mast head our slogan of a better
system of game refugees and adequate provision for pro-
lection and food supply, and we want our reads to join us

GIVE THE BOYS A CHANCE.

The bill to allow eighteen year old
minors TO initiate a homestead entry
upon the public domain, legislation
which has been earnestly advocated
by Congressman Addison T. Smith,
during the last and present congress,
has been favorably reported to the
House OF Representatives by the COM
mittee oil Public Lands, Of which Mr..
Smith is a member, and It 10 expected
that 1t will become a law during the
present session. II II can be reached
on the union calendar for considers
ton under the rules. Because Of the
objection Of several of the eastern
members to the bill It probably cannot
be considered by unanimous consent.
Mr.. Smith argues that the enactment
OF this law will result in many young
men remaining on the farm, and en-
able them TO lead an independent sg-
ricultura1 life rather than to work
for wages. In supporting the bill he
says:
when a young mar reaches the
age Of eighteen he naturally begins
to look into the future with q view Of
establishing a home, and n he n able
to initiate a homestead on the public
domain the probabilities are that
many Of them will remain on the Darn
instead OF going TO the cities or the
town TO seek employment. The gov
eminent gladly accepts these youne
men tor service In the army and navy

we not be willing to extend them the
privilege Of making q homestead en-

one that will carry any promise to them and they will come
by companies, by regiments, by ~brigades, by divisions, by
corps, by hosts.
Surely there will be need of preparedness to receive
them. Thy will come asking not for a chance to despoil
us, but to make bread for themselves. Have the president
and congress these hosts in mind, and are they trying to
prepare means to receive them? Is the present tariff
schedule filled with encouragement for them?
these people to till? i
Are new enterprises taking form which to carry on will
require vast numbers of workers? 3
In the past we have received and assimilated millions of
people from abroad. Just when the great war was about to
break upon Europe some legislation was consumated in
Washington, which those behind it had declared had fin
ally achieved industrial freedom" for our people.
Will that legislation make it easier to receive and pro-
vide for this new host that is to come? Would it not be
well to make a careful survey of what has been done and
see if there have not been mistakes which should be swift
ly corrected?
There is something else to be considered. Our country
has attained it's present position because labor has seized
upon it's latent resources and put them in their present
form, and the laborers have ran beyond the work. We have
many idle men and when these are joined by the invading
host which is to come, what is going to be the result? -..
We are told there is a surfeit of money in the east. Will
that boarded money be safe when the ranks of the hungry
swell to abnormal proportions? Had not the owners Of
that money better employ it in undeveloped fields where
the poor may find employment?
We surely are in need of a better preparedness, but not
in the direction towards which the cry is tending today.
The invasion which most threatens us is one we cannot
keep out, and the struggle should be for that preparedness
that can receive and assimilate it-Goodwin's Weekly.
