WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Highest Prices Ever Recorded at New Orleans Exchange-This Week Market Will be Infuenc- cd by Census Bureau Report.

New Orleans, Oct. 22.-Prices of cotton futures were lifted to the high est points ever recorded in the local cotton market by the hurricane which struck part of the belt last Wednes- day. At the same time spots were quoted at the highest since about 1870 At the best of the week the July option sold at 1917 cents a pound, and middling cotton was quot ed at 17.81.
 It was a rising market on the first two days of the week, but Wednesday saw one of the most spectacular bulg- es since futures trading was instituted here. Within few minutes after the opening the strongest months were S6 to S9 points up, or practically $4,50 a bale.
 At it's highest the market last week was 128 to l54 points over the prev ious weeks close. Liquidation on an enormous scale set in on Wednesdays s advance, and during the rest of the week was almost constantly in evi- dence, which had the effect of offset ting, to great extent, the frost and freeze which visited the cotton region Friday and Saturday. The close was at a net gain for the week of so to S6 points.
 This week the market will probably be influenced largely by the census bureau report on ginning to October IT. This report, due Wednesday, is expected to cause much liquidation during the first two sessions of the week, since forecasts thus far have indicated a large output. Possibly the trade does not expect figures un- der 7,500,000 bales.

SCHWAB GIVES VIEWS
 ON COLLEGE MEN
Says Their Training is a Great Help if They Realize They Have Not Learned Everything There
 is to Know.

Charles M. Schwab, of Bethlehem steel fame, has written an article for the November American Magazine in which he tells some of his opinions oi college graduates. He says;
 The college man who things that his greater learning gives him the lprivilege of working less hard than the man without such an education is going to wake up in disaster re- gret that some college men enter in- dustry with an inflated notion of their own value. They want to capitalize at once their education. and the time they spent getting it. They feel it is unfair to begin at the bottom, on the same basis with a boy of seventeen or eighteen who has never been to col lege.
 "A college man, entering industry, is worth no more to his employer than common school or high school boy, unless he happens to be taking up some position in which higher educa- ton is directly applied Even then he has to adjust himself. Neither know- edge of the classics nor mathematical proficiency can be converted overnight into a marketable commodity.
 Higher education has it's chance later, when the college boy has mas tered all the minor details of the busi- ness. Then, if he went to college with serious purpose, and studied hard and systematically, he has the advantage of a thoroughly trained mind to tackle larger problems, a mind which should be broader and more flexible because of it's greater powers of imagination and logical reasoning"

PROVED HIS POINT.

The old Scotch professor was trying to impress upon his students the value of observation.
 %No," he complained, "ye dinna use your faculties of observation. Ye dinna use 'em. For instance
 Picking up a pot of chemicals of horrible odor, he stuck his finger into it, and then into his mouth.
 Taste of it, gentlemen" he com manded, as he passed the pot from student to student.
 After each had licked q finger and had felt a rebellion through his whole soul, the old professor laughed in triumph.
 "I told ye sol" he shouted "Ye dinna use your faculties of observa- tionl For if ye had observed ye would ha' seen that the finger which I stuck into the pot was na' the finger which l stuck into my mouth. "- Chi cago Herald.

MUSIC TEACHER GETS MORE

HEALTH NEWS.

A recent investigation made by the U. s. Public Health Service in con nection with studies of rural school children showed that 49.3 per cent had defective teeth, 21.1 per cent had two or more missing teeth, and only 16.9 per cent had had dental atten- tion. Over II per cent never used a tooth brush, 58.2 per cent used one occasionally and only 27.4 per cent used one daily. Defective teeth re- duce physical efficiency. Dirty, sup purating. snaggle- toothed mouths are responsible for many cases of heart disease, rheumatism, and other chronic affections. The children are not res ponsible for the neglected state of their teeth. The ignorant and care less parent is to blame for this condi- tion-a condition which hampers men tai and physical growth and puts a permanent handicap on our future citizens. School teachers can and are doing much in inculcating habits of personal cleanliness on the rural school child but this will fail of the highest accomplishment unless par ents cooperate heartily and continu- ously This is a duty which we owe our children.
