COTTON AND SEED SITUATION
Seed at $32 Per Ton and Appearant Agreement Among Oil Mills. Cotton at Fancy
 Price

The report of the U. s. Govt. on crop condition issued We'd nesday of this week showed the condition of the cotton crop to have deteriorated considerably since the last report. The re- port showed 6l.2 per cent. or a shortage of nearly 2-5 of the real crop.
 This caused a sensational ad- vance in prices which would have been even higher but for the threatened railroad strike. According to advices received from T. w. Kessee & Co.,, of Helena, this morning, cotton is VERY HIGH and a splendid de- mand for it.
 Seed is selling at $50 per ton thru out the entire south. There 
 seems to be a thorough under standing among the oil mill men that they will not pay more. Whether the appearant combine can be maintained is a guess only. The price of seed should not be less than $40 and with cooler weather the farmers will be in a shape to hold them for better prices.
 The price of cotton in Brinkley to-day . Friday noon was Is A cents for ordinary grade, tho better grades brought more. The strike. if it comes. will cost the cotton farmers millions of dollars of loss in seed alone at this particular part of the season.
 LATER-$32 FOR SEED
 The first advance for seed was the price of $32 set by the new Brinkley Gin which opened this afternoon,

To Relieve Fatiuue.

When a woman is very tired she will find one of the best processes of re- freshing herself is to wiring out hot cloths and lay them over her eyes and forehead. A hot water bag does not act as a substitute for this. and the treatment is little trouble. The sim plest way Is to have two cloths and a basin of hot water ready to wiring out and replace the one that becomes cool on the head.

waiting to do something that shall
ensure happy Christmas for all.
The old forget they are old the young
forget they are young. We do not
care that we live On the one street
or on the other street. 1t matters not
that we belong to one church or some
other Church or no Church at all,
the Spirit of Christmas makes US to be
as one in a common joy, a common
hope ansd common service for each
other. Why not have it SO everyday?
Why not always live and act out the
Spirit of Christmas? Loving, Helping,
Kindly, Serving, Brotherly, .Christly.
Let us determine so to do that we
may have not only Happy Christmas
(which we so earnestly desire for each
other) but that we may have Happy

THE MISTLETOE.

With Christmas cheer the hall is bright,
At friendly fsGd with winters cold:
There's many q merry game tonight
For maids and men. and young and old
And winter sends for their delight
The holly with It's crimson glow.
And paler than the glistening snow
The mistletoe, the mistletoe.
The migtletoe, the mistletOe!
The wan and W&nton mistleto0G
Chance conner to our festal ewes,
Dear crimson breasted holly sprits!
Thee, Robin, too, the hall receives,
Unbidden, whom our hearts invite.
And, perched among the Grumpy leave@,
He cocks his head and sings "Huilo!
The mistletOe, the mistletoe
Hangs UP above, but what's below?
Oh, what's below the mistleto0?
The mistletoe, the mistletoe!
A kindly custom sanctions bliss
That's tA'en beneath the wanton bough.
Who laughs so low? Why, here 1t Is!
Look, Jenny, where have you now!
Dear bashful eyes, sweet lips-a kiss!
All, cheeks can mock the holly's glow!
For what's below the mistletoe?
All, ha! Why, it 10 Cupid O!

FROM REV. ANDREW OLSON

A Merry Christmas will soon be
heard as we greet one another on
this, the greatest of all events.
But what does Christmas signify
to US? Just the return of the day-a
holiday-an occasion for worldly joy
and amusement? No it has infinitely
greater meaning-It is to remind US
of the coming of Our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ. His coming in the flesh
to suffer and die. To open way of
Salvation for Mankind.
"He came unto his own and His
own received him not. But al
many as received him to them
gave He power to become the
Sons of Cod" 'There was no room
for Him in the jnn."
How have we received Him. How
will we again receive Him? Have
we given Him room in our hearts, in
our lives. Have we accepted Gods
great gift-EternAl life? If we
have, then, and then alone shall we
understand the significance Of Christ
mas.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1916-12-22

The story of Christmas precedes all
history and parable conveyed to the
human mind. 1t is the corner stone
of all Christian teaching. story
Of that wonderful night, the crowded
inn, the manger, the watching Shep-
herds, the shining hosts, cannot be for
gotten.
The little baby in the manger is
the central figure in the worlds his
tory and the basis of all Christian joy.
The world may be white with winter,
the winds rave and the storms beat,
but nothing in the chill and stress, of
the darkest days of the year on sea
or land. in forest or on prairiss can
eclipse the brightness of Christmas.
True, there are sorrows and want,
there are minor notes in the song here
and there. Yet as someone has said
"When the song goes out of life, it
may be replaced by Psalm.
A true Christian will in these most
sacred feast days do all in his power
to help others to rejoice. There are
in every community, in every neigh
borhood friendless persons, strangers
alone and lonely with the fate OF
misfortune. To these he will give q
brothers hand, be true friend anG
endeaVor to let him feel that Christ
mas is theirs as we'll as his.

FROM REV. F. A. STEVER
Christmas 1916.

Well did the angels sing, "Glory
to God in the highest, and on earth,
peace, good will toward men," Two
thousand years ago as the sheperds
watched their flocks by night they
heard the glorious symphony, and
their minds were filled with wonder
and their hearts were filled with joy.
Great promise lay in the feeble pulse
beat of the Babe of Bethlehem, the
promise of love, joy, gladness. Dur
ing the interim the promise has been
fulfilled to the extent that today the
heart throbs of Christ's love are felt
around the world.
Christmas is the season in which
the love and kindness in the hearts OF
men come to the surface, old griev-
ances are forgotten, the bonds OF
friendship are strengthened, and as
the greeting, "Merry Christina"
rings on the crisp winter air it is the
Angels song passing the lips of men,
"Glory to God in the highest, and or
earth peace, good will toward men"

Jesus is the great center of all his

are fulfilled and Jesus came all god

CBy the International News servIce.l }
New York, Oct 27.-Standard stocks and
particularly those selling at high prices,
were quiet today, but the low-priced ones
were active and strong. It was evident
that a large short interest existed in
several quarters Of the market. notably
in coppers. Political considerations de-
tered many persons from entering the
market and the naval battle in the Brit
ish channel was also a restraining in
huence. Judge Gary's talk on the tariff
and c. NJ. Schwab's optimism about bal
anced each other. Steel went down and
Bethlehem made a new high record.
Traders started to put Pittsburgh Coal
to new high records but were checked
by a statement from the company set
ting forth the fact that all 1t can pro-
duce Is needed to fll contracts made a
year ago and II will have no surplus to
sell at the new fancy prices. 1t was also
stated on authority that a roundup Of
all the coal companies in the country
had been made resulting in a discovery
that all but about 2 IL per cent OF their
possible output Is under contract
In the copper stocks great excitement
was caused by a further advance in
Magma Copper to 81. This compares with
g1 earlier In the week Magma is con-
troIIed by the same interests that brought
out Inspiration and Utah. AS a result
buying OF those stocks followed the Mag
ma move. Utah went to a new high
record price. Anaconda, Kennicott and
the whole tribe Of coppers closed the day
with great activity. It may as well be
known now that the insiders OF United
Verde Extension are buying the stock
around $40 a share in expectation of get
ting $3.50 a share for 1t in the not distant
future. This capital encountered a blanket
formation OF ore which at the 1.2OO-foot
level ran about 30 per cent copper. At
the 6OO-foot level the ore is running 10
per cent Wall Street hardly knows how
TO appraise the stock OF a company hav-
ing such a body of ore. The company
has one million shares at 50 cents par,
which, as recently as last year, sold as
low as $3.50 a share.
