MARKET RALLIES TO
 A SLIGHT ADVANCE
After Early Loss Prices Start Back Up-ClOse 1-4 Points Gain-ShOwed Continued Ner- vOuSneSS.

New York, Feb. 1S.-The cotton market showed continued nervousness today, but the selling was much less active than yesterday, and after an early decline to 11.64e for May con tracts the market rallied, with that delivery closing at 11.77c The gen. eral list closed steady at a net ad- vance of 1 to points.
 Liverpool was better than due, but there appeared to he good many overnight selling orders around the ring here and after opening barely steady, at decline of 3 to 8 points, active months sold 10 II points un- der last nights closing figures. Houses with Liverpool connections were large buyers, particularly of July, on scale down, while local spot houses seemed to be willing buyers of March at 25 points under May, and there was a further scattering de- mand from recent local sellers, as well as considerable buying that was supposed to be against price fixing by spinners. The market steadied consequently and trading later was less active. Closing prices were at practically the best point of the day.
 The Liverpool buying here was sup posed to reflect further reduction of the straddle short interest in old crop deliveries and Liverpool also bought October, but was q moderate seller of later months.
 Cotton closed steady

LffkIY REVIEW OF TIE COTTON MARKET
br;ces Worked Into Lowest Ground Since Last Fall-Big
 Clocks of Cotton Have Accum-
 ulated in Warehouses.

New York, Feb. 1S.-The cotton .tet was extremely unsettled dur tbe mast week and prices worked nto the lowest ground reached since ..lv last autumn, as the result of 6eavv near-month liquidation. March Iontracts sold as low as 11.32 on the
 6rpak of Thursday, or $6.65 per bale Lnder the high level of last month
 nd more than S10 a bale under the hieh records of the season.
 Renewed nervousness over lnterna- 1;opal politics, the continued scarcity |of ocean tonnage, apprehensions of Increased acreage and the usual vague |rumors of increased spot offerings have doubtless contributed to the pos |sibility of heavy March notices next Thursday. Large stocks of cotton have accumulated in the local ware |houSes.
 Southern spot advices have been |conficting, but a number of reports were received here today that only |hedged cotton was offering at the decline and the market was less act
 i've at the close of the week. Further
 floods have been reported in the Mis-
 sssippi valley, but the talk around
 the ring reflected little or no change
 of opinion with reference to new crop Ior acreage prospects.

LAST NOTE OF GER.
 MANY DENOUNCED
Diplomatic and COnsu- lar Officials Notified Entente Allies Are Within Rights in Arming of Merchant Ships.

Washington, Feb 18.-Germany's announced intention of destroying without warning armed merchant ships of her enemies was scathingly denounced in the senate today by Republican senators, who declared that for the United States to ac- quiesce in such practice would be hu- initiating and step toward war. Senator Lodge, reviewed interna- tional law relating to the arming of merchantmen for defense and de- clared it was inconceivable that the United States at this time would abandon a principle for which it has always stood.
 Senator Sterling followed with a speech assailing Germany and charg- ing that the American government in it's recent memorandum to the en- tente suggesting that the disarming of merchantmen had put forward a dangerous principle and had encour- aged, if not invited, the action of Germany.
 Senator Thomas read into the rec ords today's news dispatches an- nouncing the state department re- gardng. Germany's notice regarding armed ships as inconsistent with pre- vious assurances as to the conduct of submarine warfare and would accept nothing short of full and complete agreement to the high principle for which the American government has contended.
 Senator Stone, gave notice later that he would discuss the submarine situation next week and would takt occasion to criticize written speech by Elihu Root on the administra tion's foreign policy.

ARE PLACING BIG C0FFERDAM TO REPAIR
 MIDDLE SPAN BRIDGE

Camden, Ark, Feb. 1S.-A coffer- dam is being placed around the pier under the middle section of the Mar tin Free Bridge here, preparatory to removing the old pier and building new one. The old one is leaning many inches upstream. County Judge \. E. Mccall has held up the last payment until the cost of repairing Is ascertained. This sum will not cover the cost by any means, and it IS likely that the county will file suit to recover from the original builders.

BUNCH PROFESSIONAL
 POLITICIANS UNEASY
Hogan Oliver, Candidate State Auditor, After Dr. Dickinson Records Show StOddard is "Fully Equipped"

Little Rock, Feb 19.-There is a very uneasy bunch of professional politicians in Little Rock. William Stoddard, Deputy State Auditor, and manipulator, given full credit for the disappearance of returned poll tax receipts, and manager of the cam paign of Dr. F. Dickinson for nomi- nation as State Auditor, is one of the most anxious of the bunch.
 Hogan Oliver, candidate for State Auditor, and possessing the nerve to go before the people without the un- just claim of being a candidate for Gre election" is right after Dr. Dick inson for his extreme loyalty to Stod- dard. Like the we'll advertised cer- cal slogan, "There's reason" Dr. Dickinson would hardly continue Stod- dard in office unless he approved of his actions. and the records of Craig head county show that D. Stoddard is fully equipped for anything in the political line that is desired. The records show indictments against Stoddard for burglary and grand lar cery. embezzlement, murder, trespass and countless charges of 'bootleg- ging." With this record behind him Stoddard came to Little Rock and en- tered state politics. He is now as busy as a bee trying to find flaws in the life of Hogan Oliver, but there being none, he has endeavored to manufacture them, and signally fail ed.
 Sheriff Tom Edwards of Seviei county says Stoddard offered him the left over poll tax receipts from that county, but he refused them. Stod dard endeavors to lay on clerk 1T the office the blame for the disappear ance of the tax receipts, but Rev. F. U. A. Mckinney, of the Baptist Ad vance. and w. D. Crawford, for years Supreme Court reporter. who wit messed the actions of Stoddard in try ing to prevent the opening of the desl in which the tax receipts were kept do not agree with him in his claims They say that Stoddard's action! speak much louder than his denials.
 Where there is so much smok, there must be fire. Less than fiv' months after Dr. Dickinson was ap pointed to office the legislative inves tigating committee failed to find any thing to compliment in his office, cen suring him instead, and now the new charges are flaming public opinior to flame. This means the election ot Oliver by tremendous majority.

The West Virginia Equal Suffrage
Association has called upon all the To-
cal societies in the state to do their
part in assuring the success OF Good
Roads Day." July Is and Is. They
will provide solid and liquid refresh
ment to all the hungry and blistered
male citizens who handle the pick and
shovel on those days. In every dis
trict where the men turn out In re-
Spouse to Governor Hatfleld's procla-
nation a band of suffrage workers Will
be on hand with baskets of sandwiches
and buckets of cooling draughts.
Whether pro" or ANTI" each road
worker will find a smiling suffragist
ready to cater to the inner man when
the noon whistle blows.
AS the state organization has local
branches in nearly every district In
the state 1t is assured that there will
be a big response to this unique call to
work. Mrs. Yost, the head Of the

A Pest Destroyer.

You hear his unmelodious squlwk in
city and country. You hear his peculiar
"tuu-n-ng" as he performs the aerial
dives and cuts fancy figures with his
wings over the house tops and the shade
trees. You may have been led to believe
that he is noisy, bothersome and worth
less, a mere fly-bY- night who never did
anything but disturb your sleep. But
correct the impression at once. Tor this
bird makes your front porch more faoi-
table on summer evenings. He's the
night-hawk, or bulbat.
When you hear unmelodious squawks
in The evenings il means he's alter mos
uuitoes. The metallic sound which he
makes with his wings when he dives
through The air means he's rounding up
insects by the hundreds. Few birds are
so valuable as insect-destroyers as the
nighthawk.
He's both fast and thorough. He can
give chase to the swift dragon fly and
capture him on the wing. He is known
to eat so different kinds of insects, in
Guiding ants, potato bugs, clover-leaf
weevils and squash bugs. And always
he's death to mosquitoes.
