Cotton Futures
Act Helps South

Washington. D. c, May s.--Three
charts published in Service and Regu-
latory Announcements No. of the
Office OF Markets and Rural Organiza-
ton show the results that have been
accomplished for the cotton industry
by the Cotton Futures Act. 1t is
pointed out that since this act went
into operation future quotations fair
~ reflect spot values in beth New
York and New Orleans, an64 also, in
general way, over the entfre South
OF the three charts. the first shows
the comparative variations IN the
prices of spot and future cotton on
the cotton exchanges OF Liverpool,
New York. and New Orleans for q
period preceding the enactment of eth
Cotton Futures Act and preceding
also the outbreak OF the European
war This chart shows that future
quotations erwe ahnormally low COM
pared With tina price OF spot cotton
for the period covered by the chart.
At New Yrok. especially, futures
were at discount, and the same
conditions exister also at Liverpool
and New Orleons. though 10 less
extent.
The second chart shows the varia-
tions in the price OF spot and future
cotton on the same exchanges from
February IS. 1918. 10 January %.
1915. during substantially all OF which
time the Cotton Futures Act was In
effect, An examination OF the chart
shows a great Improvement over pre-
viously existing conditions. Future
quotations fairly represented the value
eff spot cotton in all of the leading
exchanges: hence. hedging has been
possible on a fair and satisfactory
basis and no well founded complaint
has been lodged against fictitious or
misleading future quotations
The third chart covers the same
period OF time as Chart No. 2 and
represents the variations in the prices
OF futures at New York and New Or
leans as compared with the price OF
Middling determined by averaging the
quotations obtained from the spot
markets designated under the terms
OF the act, This chart discloses the
fact that future quotations at both
New York and New Orleans have
fairly indicated spot values over the
South. Indeed at most times the fu-
ture quotations have shown a slight
premium over average Middling quo
tations in the South. which Is ex-
planned as due to the freight and
handling charges which are included
In and reelected by the future quota
tons.
A careful study OF the charts pre-.
scented leads to the conclusion that
conditions in the future amrkets
have been reasonably satisfactory
since the Cotton Futures Act became
effective. and that therefore the enact
ment OF this law has been justified
by the results accomplished by it.

SOLDIERS MARRIAGES

We confess we cannot see any
reason, sense or logic in the action
OF many soldiers who hurry into
marriage Immediately prior to leav-
ing for the battle front. We would
suppose that under such circum-
stances It would be far better for
them to remain single. The real pur-
poses Of marriage are the establish
ing of home and family, and for
congenial companionship. With the
newly made husband rushing off to
war in which he may lose his life or
become disabled, none of these pur-
poses are fulfilled. Surely 1t would
be far better for our boys and their
sweethearts, too, to await the close
of the conflict and the triumphant
Homecoming for the contamination
of their marital plans. Many mis-
takes are made under the Impulse OF
the moment, which calm reflection
would prevent, and this state of af-
fairs is another indication. of the
need of some change in our marriage
laws, that would prevent the posi-
bility of such hasty weddings. From
one place there comes news of TWEEN
ty-five marriages in one day Of SOL
diers about to leave for the concen-
tration camp.-St. Augustine Record.

DIPPING vATS ENLARGE SCOPE.
OF FLORIDA'S CATTLE TRADE

A Communication from DR.. G. F..
Dawson, veterinarian Of the State
Board of Health, brings the informa-
tion that through shipments of dip
ped cattle may now be made from
Jacksonville TO any point in the
United States, under federal super
vision when the shipment is large.
! He says further:
''The cattle may be dipped the
first time anywhere, under State SUI
pervision, and must reach Jackson
Vile within twelve days for the sec
ond dipping under federal superyi
sion. They may move out the next
day as non-infectious cattle to any
destination. Such cattle when not
intended for immediate slaughter
must also comply with the inspection
requirements of the State at desti-
| nation. Cattle for immediate
slaughter, going to recognized
slaughtering center, need no dipping
or inspection of any kind"
Further information, if desired,
may be obtained by addressing DR..
c. +. Dawson, veterinarian State
board of health, Jacksonville, Fla.
The first dipping is made easier
than it was even a year ago through
the large and increasing number of
dipping watts in all parts Of the
State. The SECOND dipping, that I'M
der the supervision of the federal
authorities, can be made in Jackson
vile now with the recent construc-
ton by the State Board of Health of
the big vat at the union stock yards
on Enterprise street, and the non-in
fected cars to any destination on
the footing of non-infectious cattle,
just as they would be from any
tick-free territory in the United
States.
Thus the scope Of the Florida cat
tie trade is greatly enlarged and rem
dered freer. Hitherto the cattle
have had to travel, in some in
stances, long distances to dipping
vat, and then, under close guard, to
some other point north of Florida,
for second dipping. From Jackson
vile they can now travel, with but |
one stop-over for rest, feed and wa
ter at some one of the larger cities
in the South, which is provided with
pens for that pur-
pose, straight to tick-free territory.

A REGULAR BOY WRITES LETTER WITH GOOD
TIPS FOR OTHER REGULAR BOYS
BY JANE WHITAKER

JfNINE WITT HNEN
When 1 first looked at the picture
1 thought: What a regular boy!
1 bet he had this taken one day when
he was about to start out on big
adventure a boy. His eyes have
a CLEAN and his face is so happy with
that anticipatory happiness that
nothing but anticipation ever brings
in just that way.
HUM l unused. 81 bet every
thing that happens to him is an adj
venture and his favorite dream is of
the time when he'll lead his family
up to the door of the White House
and say to them: Come on in and
make yourselves at home. l live
here. I'm the president
If you are familiar with regular
boys that will give you an idea of
him since 1 cannot show you his pic
ture, but if you are boy want you
to read his letter, because it has some
crackerjack ideas in it for boys.
''The letter written by boy who
broke with the gang was great" he
wrote. "a boy understands a boy.
Boys who are fortunate enough
to receive more than a grammar
school education have problem as
big and serious as the working boy
has. In both cases when you are
good and tired you go home and for

boy and Office boy, whose work is
mental and not really physically tir-
ing, there is surplus energy that is a
serious question to the average boy
and troublesome to the serious
thinking boy. In his own way the
boy who wrote to you has worked
out a plan of salvation that will fit
