SHANGHAI, China, March "a
Provinces of Human and Kiang 81 are
now making preparations to announce
their independence of Yuan Shih-Kai.
Should these two provinces join with
the republicans, all of southern China
with the exception of Canton and
Kwantung province would be in the
hands of the rebels. .-.--
The chamber of commerce of Can
ton, acting in behalf of thousands of
inhabitants of that city, has petitioned
Lung Chi Kwang, the military COVER
nor of kwantuug province, to declare
Independence Of Yuan Shih-kai in or.
der to avoid war between .Kwantung
and the neighboring provinces.
Citizens of Canton held mass
meeting last evening, and as result
three representatives were sent to
Kwangsi, Yunnan and Kweichau, ask
ing them not to send their troops into
Canton, as the citizens of Canton will
force the military governor to join
the republicans or leave the city.
M'iII Not Aid Defense.
The citizens of that city as sQon as
the result Ol lI0 IldSo IlCClhlS was
known, fearing that the military gov
ernor would make stand against the
repu ublicans, announced that they
would take no part in the defense of
the city, and many of them have al
ready left for Hongkong and Macao,

Chinese merchants in Hongkong
have cabled to the military governor
Of Kwantung asking him to declare in.
dependence of Yuan Shih-Kai at once
Merchants in Hongkong are now rails
ing a fund to assist the republican
troops in their attacks on the strong
holds Of the monarchy.
Revolutionary troops have occupied
most of the territory around Canton
and several important seaport towns
have been occupied Sentiment IN
some parts of Kwantung is decidedly
in favor of G republic, and the Yunnan
troops have met with but little resist
ance.

Thus, it was the Liverpool dealer who suffered loss which constituted the profit of his fellow member of the Liverpool Cotton Association.
 Furthermore, it appears improbable that the American cotton dealers fur finished any large part of the money for the profits made out of straddles during the past winter, as they have been practically prohibited by the United States Cotton Futures Act from trading in the Liverpool market It should be borne in mind also that the straddles were put out in the fall of 1915 when there was wide discrep- ancy in future prices between the New York and Liverpool markets, the former being relatively the high CT. At that time considerable specu- lation existed throughout the United States, and the sale of New York futures by the Liverpool dealers did not depress prices perceptibly. Dur ing December and January the price
 
 of cotton at Liverpool advanced to the proper level of value based on the cost of cotton landed at the port. It was in January and February that the straddles are supposed to have been closed. The closing of the strad- dies meant the purchases to offset sales that had been made in New York. These purchases of future con- tracts came at time when specula- tion in the United States was subsid- ing, and undoubtedly were of material assistance in the maintenance of prices in the New York market, and thus were of benefit to all who held spot cotton at that time

On Wednesday evening the mem- bers of the graduating class of the High School gave a three act comedy entitled, "All on Account of Polly" The characters were we'll chosen and the play was we'll presented to the large and appreciative audience that was in attendance.
 The play is laid in the home of the Beverlys, g large family that is living far beyond it's means, and that is in dire financial straits on account of the extravaganza of the members of the family. Just at the last moment when all seems lost, and it seems that the Beverlys will have to give up their elegant home for less expensive quar- ters, Polly, the rich young ward of

 They were received by Miss Fran cis Jordan and Miss Margaret Hart who directed them to the office where they were received by the faculty.
 After all had arrived they were shown into the elaborately decorated banquet hall where the long table, decorated lavishly with beautiful flowers, greeted their eyes. The soft light from the candles with their red shades and the bright rays from the large chandeliers dverhanging the table left a picture in the minds of those present never to be forgotten.
 After a six course dinner with speeches and toasts between, the guests departed declaring the evening to be one of the most enjoyable that they had ever spent.

RECENT COTTON STRADDLES.

It has been commonly accepted as true that large profits have been made recently by Liverpool dealers rom the straddle, or arbitrage, busi- ness between the New York and Liv- efpool cotton exchanges. It has been assumed that these profits were at Me expense of the cotton dealers of he United States. This is discussed Ill Service and Regulatory Announce meht No. 9 just issued by the Office VI Markets and Rural Organization, VI the Department of Agriculture, in when 1t Is said that it is understood ule basis of the straddles was the sale VI futures in New York offset by a purchase of futures in Liverpool.

 The Spectator:
 It occurs to me that the ad of o. E. Jennlng on the last page of your paper of the l4th is the most striking ad you have, while all of them are good and useful, yet MT. Jennings comes along with not only a nice store to ad- vertise but the kitchen cabi- net which is in the show window of his store. Here is one of the incest pieces of furniture that can come into a home. A kitchen without a cabinet is incomplete, so Mir. Jennings through your paper offers to give away this piece of furniture, something that is for the health of the home, ratproof and something that will grace the home for years to come. Makes less trouble for the overworked madame of the house. A home without a kitch- en cabinet is like a newspaper without an ad column. The way it was placed in the paper had a

Ratcliff, Arkansas, April l9. 1916 Gentlemen:
 l believe the advertisement that appeals to me most in last Fridays issue of The Spectator, is that of Runkle's famous line of candies advertised by the popular firm of c. w. & Roy Bell. The mode, manner and style of this ad is the most complete of any in the paper; to my mind, and it has a tendency to reach and impress the buying public.
 Why does in pay to advertise in The Spectator? Becouse The Spectator published at Ozark, Arkansas, every Tuesday and Friday is one of the best semi weekly country newspapers published in the state. It is the great medium between the mer- chant and the buying public; it is the PAPER THAT REACHES 1 THE PEOPLE therefore any firm or corporation should feel safe in advertising in real newspaper like The Spectator.
 Yours truly.
 J. D. HOLLADAY.

Dear Sirs:-I think the ad of the Ozark Lumber Company was the most attractive in your April 14th issue of The Spectator. It is the most attractive because a person can read it at a glance they can't help but read it, the name of the firm is impress ed on the readers mind and he goes to the Ozark Lumber Co. for his purchases. It is the most attractive and appeals to me most for the reason that it is short and well displayed. Any one will read it at a glance whereas if it contained a lot of composition it would not be read by so many people. The idea in advertertising is to keep a firms name before the public. l believe this kind of ad best ac- complishes the purpose.
 Why it pays to advertise in The Spectator
 Practically every family in Ozark's trade territory read The Spectator.
 The Spectator is always neat and attractive it's ads are al ways attractive and well dis played they're read-the peo- pie talk about them - that's why Spectator advertising pays.
 Respectfully,
 J. L. Cummins.
