so, who are citizens of the United
States, physically fit and who have
at least a high school education,
or it's equivalent in business OF
professional experience, are eligl-
bic to enroll.
The object of the camp, which
is one of several to be held this
year in various parts of the Unit
&c States, is to give to educated
and patriotic men a basic training
in military science so that, if the
nation ever is invaded, they may,
if they care to help defend their
country, be fitted to accept com
missions as line officers in volun-
teer forces.
California this year will contrib
ute than 1000 men to the
Monterey training camp. From
all parts of the country. and for
the various camps to be held, some
10000 lei are expected to enroll.
This movement is the beginning
of a creation of a great, volun-
tarily trained %citizenry; a citizenry
that is learning the art of var and
yet which is not being lost to the
commercial and industrial life of
the nation, for any, saving a nor
nal vacation period. And in the
four weeks under anvas at a
training camp, any man of intelli-
gence and earnestness of purpose
is expected to gain so much in
of thought, mental and
physical discipline and good health
that his efficiency during the bal
ance of the yeear will be increased
beyond all proportion to the time
has lost from his office. shop,
or farm, during the time
he has been in training.
These camps are, pure and sim
pie, peoples camps" The feder-
al government merely says: I'VE
will give you a complete military
camp with ratiOns, uniforms, arms
and equipment necessary for drill
purposes; we will detail our best
army officers as instruct
we will treeat you a. gentle
and for a short period train
you as soldiers. In return you
will give to the federal government

edge of military art you possess
and help drive him away. The on
ly difference, in time of trouble,
between you and unframed men,
is that you may be placed in COM
mand of those unframed men,"
Even the most militant pacifist
should be able to find no grounds
to condemn these summer camps.
BY no stretch of imagination can
four weeks of military training
enake men anxious to see the coun-
try embroiled in war so that they
can prove their new found military
prowess. No camp recruit is
obligated to fight for his country
any more than any citizen of the
nation, of military age, is al
ready obligated. 1t merely is a
matter of men who want to learn
something of military life, being
taught it free of cost, so that later,
il they so desire, they may use
their knowledge for the
good.
This community should be well
represented at the Monterey en-
campment. All detailed informa-
ton concerning it can be obtain

Encore Fiend in Eclipse

Arthur Chapman in Judge
 The inroads of the film on the au- diences of the legitimate theatre quite naturally lead on to the query:
 What has become of the encore fiend?"
 One can imagine how i'll at ease this variety of fiend must be in the pres- ence of those silent dramas that go right along, as surely as fate, without an instant's pause. How it must irritate this proud soul not to be able to smite his mighty hands together and call back the performance for an encore at though he try his maddest palm smit- ing, he cannot fetch so much as single curtain call
 Somehow we cannot help but feel sorry for the encore fiend in these days, much as we used to hate him before the film shows came He was an hon est, hard-working soul, and he blist- cred his hands in expressing approval of what he looked upon as art. Besides he exemplified the doctrine of getting lot for ones money. If he could stretch two-hour performance to two hours and forty-five minutes. through the mere act of bringing one palm against the other and securing certain dynamic effects thereby he could not be blamed for feeling that he had ex- tracted the ultimate from his $2 and had proved himself to be a true econ omist He filled his place well and noisily but if the legitimate drama does come back full-panoplied as it's devotees prophecy, let us hope the en- core iend does not come with it.

Ayery's Letter

The persistent talk of increased acreage over last year discounts anything bullsh in the day to day news.
 The plain truth of the matter is spin ners know they have four months sup ply of cotton and that there are around f. 500 GOO bales in the warehouses of the south to draw from and everything they hear from the south is that there will be an increase over last years acreage. Why should they bid prices up on them selves, when all they have to do is sit back and let the farmers put the price dcwn for them by planting a big acre age.
 mail criticizing me for harping on this acreage question. In this regard it per- haps would be more palatable to read some of this demagogue stuff put out by politicians, but I am trying to put the cold truth to the farmers. want to see cotton go up as bad as anybody, and believe it will go up, and to new high levels, if they keep their acreage down. But I am telling them plainly it won't go up but wo down if they don't keep the acreage down.
 There are 197i,669 bales of cotton in the hands of manufacturers there are 4,5i5,- S59 bales in independent warehouses in the cotton belt. This makes total of 6,520, ,52S bales, added to which is the bal ance in farmers hands. Close to 7.000e0 bales to draw from. Now if the farmer wants to increase his acreage in face of these figures--let him go ahead and com init price suicide by doing it.

MARKET FAILS ID
 HOLD EARLY RISE
General List Closed Steady Net Unchanged to Five
 Points Higher

New York. February 14-The cotton market failed to hold an early advance today and May contracts eased off from 1222c to 12.13c, closing at 1215c The general list closed steady net unchanged to points higher Over holiday develop ments evidently failed to create any fresh sentiment of consequence. and trading was quiet
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to points in response to higher Liverpool cables and sold about 4 to points net higher during the early trading with March working up to 11.9sc, July to 12,2sc, and October to 12.40c. There was some Liverpool buying on this advance as well as covering and little support from local bulls, but after the close abroad the demand tapered off and prices turned easier under re- newal of March liquidation from wire and commission house sources. while there was also scattering local pressure encouraged by the sagging tendency at New Orleans. Offerings were not heavy or aggressive, however, and after sagging off to 11.9Oc for March, 12.9Oc for July, and 12.$3c for october. prices rallied or points.
 The census figures on supply and dis tribution showed a domestic mill con sumption of lint cotton for January of 542055 bales compared with 725 for December. This falling off may possibly have been a disappointment to some of the local bulls, but the report indicated a new high record consumption of linters, the figures for January being 90, ,499 bales against 25,959 for the same month last year, and the. combined consumption of lint and linters was 637554 bales, com pared with 6SS5SO for the month of De- cember.
 On the whole, consequently, the figures seemed to be considered about in line with expectations, and local traders ap- peared to be waiting for fresh develop ments in the spot markets, or in the ship ping situation.
 According to the figures of a local au- thority the amount of cotton on ship board awaiting clearance at the close of last week was only 133593 bales against 174,7S4 the previous week, and 452529 bales at the same time last year.

NEW HIGH RECORDS
 FOR METAL SHARES
War Specialties Inclined to Sag, and Heaviness Pre-
 vailed in Rail Demand


 New York, February 14.-Metal shares commanded the bulk of speculative atten- tion in today's dull and irregular market, with new high records for Anaconda. Utah, Butte and Superfor-Sh -Shattuck-Ari- c1na and Chino, while American Zinc also aoached a new maximum Gains in this group ranged from to 3 points. but much of this advantage was forfeited at the end
 The further rise was attributed mainly to yet another advance in the price of re- lined copper a quotation of 27Hc being fixed by producers and dealers for June delivery. Boston and New England com mission houses were heavy buyers of the copper stocks
 Oils, General Motors and New York Air Brake constituted the other irregularIv strong features for tirne but the general movement in that quarter was conflicting Among the recognized war shares Cruel Die Steel, Baldwin Locomotive and Amer 1can Car were inclined to sag this same condition applying to the fertilizers, Dis tllers Securities, United States Indus tr1al Alcohol and half score of special tles whose movements are largely gov- erned by the rise or fall of the munitions division
 Distinct heaviness prevailed among the raI's from the outset, Canadian Pacific scoring an extreme loss of 31s at 172 while St. Paul, New York Central, Reading New Haven, Chesapeake and Ohio and Fries were to points lower United States Steel was another unsettling fea- lure, persistent pressure affecting an ex- treme loss of 1ts at S39s.
 The lower trend, which was most pro- nounced in the final dealings. was asso- ciated with fears of further foreign liqui- dation.
 This swas heightened by another large inflow of high grade stocks and bonds from abroad. Conservative sentiment also was affected to a degree because of the new phases injected into the international situation by the Teutonic submarine pol icy.
 Foreign exchange markets were dull, with some greater firmness in sterling rates. Marks and rubles also hardened the latter of purchases of finance bills in fRirly round amounts.

BIG WHEAT STOCK
 SEND PRICES DOWN
Absence of Export Business Bring Lower Average for
 Wheat Prices

Chicago, February 14-Big stocks of wheat and the seeming dubious chances of an adequate foreign out let exerted a bearish influence today on wheat values here. The result was an unsettled close at 1sc to g O & c net decline, with May at SI.273s and July at $1.202l. Corn finished 4c down, oats off 14c to 9s@34c and pro visions varying from GOTTA loss to a rise of 23a @5c.
 Large receipts which piled up dur ing the double holiday had notice- able tendency to make holders of wheat discouraged and this condition was em- phasized later by the fact that the Uni- ted States visible supply showed a weekly decrease of only about one sixth as much as the corresponding time last year. whereas the total sup ply was posted as about 13,OOO, 900 bushels in excess of last years ag- gregate.
 Warmer weather in the northwest was expected to increase the present movement. Reports of crop damage, chiefly in Texas, Oklahoma and Mis- souri, acted to some extent as a check on the bears but failed to stimulate any determined buying
 Absence of fresh export business un- til late in the session counted a good deal toward bringing about lower average of wheat prices for the day. After the close, however, sales to Flu rope were estimated at 1,O00,000 bush els exclusive of 2,500,OOO bushels which had previously been reported.
 Heavy arrivals led to a sharp break in the corn market, but a good sea- board demand at Peoria brought about of a reaction.
 Provisions displayed some transient strength because of a buying move ment on the part of several grain houses. Profit taking by holders sub sequently wiped out most of the gains.

An Easy Explanation

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
 Former Senator Philander Knox mer- riiy smiled the other evening when reference at a dinner affair was made to the great buying rush just before Christmas. He said he was reminded of little incident relative to the re- cent chicken show in Philadelphia
 Jones was rambling along the street one day when he saw Smith headed for the show. It was the same the neNe cay, and yet the next.
 q presumes'' remarked Jones at the third meeting, "that you are hustling for the chicken show again?,
 ''Yes," answered smith, glancing at his watch. land I want to be there in just 10 minutes"
 Look here, old man., demanded Jones, wonderingly, why is it that you have become such a persistent and in- terested visitor at that poultry show ?''
 That's an easy one,' was the smil- ing rejoinder of Smith. q want to do my Easter shopping early"

SMALL NET DECLINE ON COTTON MARKET
Weather Conditions Consid- cred Favorable, Acreage
 Reports Conflicting

New Orleans, February 14-After a snsht decline in the trading on this market today, cotton fell off under dull ress and remained at a small net decline during the remainder of the session. The close was at net loss of 1 to points.
 The bullsh slowing of the consllnp- tion figures issued by the census bureau stimulated buying on the first call on which the most active months rose 1 points. Shorts were inclined to cover at first, but the market lacked support from the long side and bear traders re- gained confidence. Their offerings at nc time were very liberal The market gradually sagged until in the afternoon the trading months were to 3 points under the close of Saturday.
 Weather conditions over the belt were considered more favorable than other wise for blowing, but reports concerning acreage were conflicting and gave neither side the advantage. It was much of a waiting market

Sugar Market

New York, February 14-Reports that exporters in inquiring for raw sugar in Cuba and the settling of the strike at two of the leading refineries gave the market for raw sugar firmer tone and prices were advanced 1-16c on Cuban grades.
