MARKET GOES UP,
 BUT FALLS AGAIN
Early Increase in Cotton Lost. With Close Unchanged to 3 Off-1G to 15 Per Cent Acre age Increase in Arkansas.

New York, April 26.-A moderate early advance was followed by reac- tions in the cotton market here today, with July contracts selling off from 12.12c to 12.02c and closing at 12.O5c. The general list closed steady, net unchanged to 3 points lower.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to 5 points, with the more active months selling 5 to 6 points above last nights closing figures Liverpool was no better than due and private cables reported an idle mar ket there, but there appeared to be a few overnight buying orders around the local ring and the initial improve ment was helped by a renewed demand from trade interests for old crop po- sitions. This buying was not urgent, general business was much less act i've and prices soon turned easier.
 Details of the weekly weather re- view were considered rather less fav- oi iiletll liit anu liitII were rallies of or points from the lowest during the early afternoon, but later fluctuations were irregular and the market closed within 2 or 3 points of the lowest on the more act i've positions.
 A private report issued here before the opening indicated an increase of from 10 to 15 per cent in the acreage of Arkansas and Louisiana and of about to 10 per cent in Tennessee A report reaching here from Mem phis said good deal of the stock was owned by buyers who had been unable to ship owing to railroad em- bargoes, but that the freight situation had improved and shipments were running heavier.
 Cotton closed steady.

There were representatives present from the Federation of Women'a Clubs, the Central Trades Council, the Building Trades Council the Allied Auxiharies of Railway organi- cations and others, to present matters which in their opinion demand atten- ton.

Senator Stone viU lay the result of the conference before the foreign relations commit tee
 The president told him very fully his attitude in the German crisis. No new policies were discussed, the pres dent pointing out the future course of the United States depends entirely on the German reply to the American ne!s.1
 Secretary Lansing received today a report from Ambassador Gerard in Berlin on a conference with Chan tellOr von Bethmann Hollweg The secretary would not discuss the re- port except to say it was brief and required no reply. He continued to fseeve summaries of editorial com rcats published in German news papers.
 Count von Bernstorff has sent to the foreign office suggestions on the submarine question which he hopes will prevent a break. The sugges- tons were sent in response to a re- quest from Berlin, and will be con adered at a conference with the inn peral chancellor and the kaiser. inelr exact nature was not revealed.

PUBLISHING ELABOR-
 ATE MAPS HIGHWAYS
International Pavedway, from Detroit to LaredO-PrescOtt
 on Highway From Lakes to Rio Grande- Cross 7 States

Highway Associations are publish ing elaborate maps showing the United States as network of paved roads, connecting all the centers with the remotest corners of the republic. If all these projects which look so well on paper could be realized, this coun- try would have the most complete system of highways the world has ever known.
 One of these is the International l Pavedway, extending from Detroit to Laredo, and passing through 391 cit ies, towns and villages, including three state capitals. Arkansas is on this highway from the Great Lakes to the Rio Grande, which has been projected by the National Highway Association.
 The proposed highway will cross seven states which contain 26.S per cent of the total population of the United States, and twenty per cent of the toal area. It will pass through 8S counties, with an aggregate popu- lation of 4,660,957, and 66 county seats.
 Entering Arkansas at Poplar Bluff, Mo-, it will touch the following points in Arkansas: Pocahontas, Walnut 1 Ridge, Hoxie, Minturn, Swifton, New port, Grand Glaise, Bradford, Rus sell, Bald Knob, Judsonia, Searcy, Beebe, Ward, Austin, Cabot, Jackson vile, Little Rock, Ensign, Bryant, Benton, Clifford, Malvern, Elmore, Witherspoon, Smithton, Gurdon, Pres colt, Emmet, Fulton. Vaudeville and Texarkana.
 In Texas the road will pass through Sherman, Dallas, Fort Worth, Waco, Austin, San Antonio and Laredo On the northern end it goes through Fort Wayne, Springfield, Toledo, Danville, and St. Louis.
 few instances, still they do not seem to have decreased proportionately with wholesale quotations.
 Since the wholesale apple dealers are nj daily touch, as rule, with the retailers to whom they sell, they ap- pear to be the logical factors to in- tiate an apple campaign and stimu- late the interest of the grocers, fruit stand dealers. hucksters and other re- tail agencies. The wholesalers in two large markets have organized al- ready and raised a fund to secure de- sirable publicity. If the dealers in other markets would follow their eX- ample and carry out an adequate ad- vertising campaign in the press and in all stores handling apples. the re- suits should be very helpful to all concemed-grower, dealer and con sumer.

in any plan for the promotion of the
trails improvement. Many parts Of
the road have already been drained
and dragged. Oiling on the highways
in some parts has been under way for
several months and the roadway is in
excellent shape now. Encouragement
in upkeep and progress in marking the
highway will be the chief duty along
these parts Of the highway although in
other sections, the organization work
will include repairs and upbuilding of
the road as well as the more incidental
needs such as marking, sign-boarding
and blazing.
The Diagonal Trail buttons have
been ordered and will be ready for dis,
tribution within week. 1t is hoped
by that time, too, to have other office
details of the organization in such a
manner that the work may progress
without interruption. Membership
cards will soon be issued and as quick
ly as the personnel of the committee is
completed the stationery will be print
ed. All will bear the official, register
ed Diagonal Trail marking, a white
band northwest and southeast across

RY G.. A. LARSON.

The days of "auld lang syne" are
dear to us all They were not, indeed,
devoid of hardships and difficulties,
but the further we are removed from
them, the more those hardships lose
their bitterness, while the delights and
pleasures of bygone days not only are
remembered but stand forth transfig-
ured and intensified. If this were not
so there would be no such thing as
the ''halcyon days of youth"
And the nature and the surround
ines in which those days were passed
have left their imperishable stamp in
our memory. Is it to be wondered at
if a person who halls from a northern
cline, with a feeling of both joy and
sadness each recurring season, again
and again. brings to mind those never
to-be forgotten days in the auld lang
syne when nature had arrived at its
two eXtremes-midwinte and mid
summer, such complete opposites, and
still each possessing charms which
only northerner can appreciate? 1t
may be difficult TO tell which of the
two claims the first place in his al
fection@the Christmas season with
its cold winds and snow, but also with
its long winter nights resplendent
with bright stars and brilliant north
ern lights and with its home cheer
around the happy family hearth, or
midsummer with its intense life, It's
midsummer night sun, its balmy air
and nature in its fullest glory. Nothing
at all comparable to it is to be found
anywhere else on earth. Add to this
that these seasons are cogent remind
ers of the happiest days OF life-child-
hood and youth-when the world
promised so much and we believed all
its promises, when no burden OF cares
was pressing. the future was bright
and rosy, and life itself calm, smooth
sea with no storms brewing.
And when midsummer once more is
here with its charms, do you wonder If
the northerners, as If by instinct. flock
together to revive those pleasing MEM

ROUTETO DEPEND
|. ON MONEY RAISED
Canvass Will Be Conducted Among
Farmers on Rival Roads Between
Milan and Cambridge.
COMMITTEES ARE SELECTED
Work of Perfecting Organization of
Rock Island Division of Diagonal
Trail Is Progressing.

An active farmer-to-farmer cam
paign will be inaugurated at once
along the two proposed routes between
Milan and Cambridge on the Cedar
Rapids-Reck Island-Peoria division of
the Diagonal trail and the route which
gives the greatest financial support to
the route will receive recognition. This
decision was reached at the Rock Is
land club yesterday afternoon at a
meeting attended by NJ. D. Townsend,
director from Toulon H. A. Pillsbury,
director from Cambridge; G. S. Rake
straw and A C. Stage of Wyoming,
and c. A. Hallgren, Rock Island direc-
tor.
The two routes are practically the
same length, but one eliminates CISCO
and Orion from the Diagonal trail, by
providing straightaway stretch 10
miles long, avoiding four railroad
crossings and eight turns, which are
made necessary on the proposed route
along the Logan-Lee highway into
Orion and CISCO. Out of Cambridge
the road follows the Logan-Lee high
way to Peoria, the end Of this divis
ion.
Members at the meeting yesterday
were enthusiastic about the work to
be done and are anxious to have the
contest settled that they may proceed
with plans for the blazing and log
ging of their routes. A personal can
vass is to be made among the farmers
on one route by Mr.. Pillsbury of Cam
bridge as soon as weather permits and
had it not been for the unfavorable
condition of the roads at this time a
noon-meeting would have been sched-
uled for the immediate future to de-
eide the question. Instead subscrip-
ton lists will be circulated among the
various farmers along the roads in
volved and the one showing the great
est financial pledge, conditional upon
recognition of the road by the dag
onal trail, will receive support
Select Committees.
Under the bylaws of the constitu-
ton four committees are to be named
and it was decided to select the chair
men of these and authorize them to
name their own assistants. Each chair
man will be privileged to select two
aides and the various committees will
be urged TO begin active work in the
interests of the association. The vari-
Gus committees and their chairmen are
as follows:
Ffnance-Phil Mitchell.
Publicity-To be named later.
Blazing-J T. Marion.
mbership-Louis Savadge.
