TRUCE EFFECTIVE
 OA RUSSIAN FRONT
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN OF. FiCiAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM
 BERLIN AND VIENNA.
SITUATION REMAINS ACUTE
Provisional Government Thrown Out of Power by BolsheViki, Claims to Be the Only Legal Authority
 in Berlin.

New York 9rmistiee already is sian front.
 This information is contained in of ficial announcements from Berlin and Vienna The Russian statement tells of increased fraternizing between the Russian and German troops, but does not mention the armistice.
 The Vienna announcement says:
 During the last few days an ar mistice has been concluded on many sectors of the Russian front. from di- vision to division and from corps to corps. In the Pripet region the Rus sian army concluded an official ar mistice with the opposing command of the allied (Teutonic) troops.
 "A Russian deputation crossed our lines in order to prepare the way with the plenipotentiaries of the allied (Teutonic) armies for an armistice on the whole Russian front.
 "In the italian theater and in AL bania there is nothing new"
 An ar1nistice was agreed on with the Russian army, according to Der lin dispatch. It was begun when hos tilities were to be stopped and ar engagements made concerning inter- course between the lines, troop move ments in the trenches and work and G :" activity. Forty-eight hours notice
 $ fixed for denunciation of the ar 9nlstice, which covers the territory from the south bank of the Prfpet to the south of the Lipa.
 Meanwhile the internal situation in Russia remains acute. Infantry and i machine gun detachments have been sent against the general staff head quarters at the front, where refusal to meet the Bolshevilli regimes de- mand tbst arrangements be made by . the c2hmander-in-chief with the Ger many for an armistice.

 The German militarists are not lis -tening out of humanitarian motives CT feeling of sympathy towards Rus sia to the proposal for an armistice, Leon Trotzky, the Bolsheviki foreign commissary, said in an address to the soldiers and workmen's delegates. Only fear of the German proletariat, inspired by the example of the Rus sian revolutionists, prompted them to accept the overtures of Ensign Kry- 1enko, the Bolshevik eommander-fn. chief.

Why of Course.

Though thoroughly patriotic, John ny, aged nine, dining with his mother in one of the cafeterias on wheatleas day, could not understand why he should eat corn bread instead of the usual white bread, relates the Indian apolis News.
 In the argument that ensued his mother, losing her temper, ordered the young man ito get outside of his DOT tion of bread right away"
 After thoughtful moment Johnny commented: Mother, then I would be the peelin', wouldn't I?'

Give CheerfuIness a Chance.

Cheerfulness is much rarer quail ity than is generally supposed, es- pecially among the rich. It was not common even before we learned that, in spite of Browning, though God may be in his heaven nevertheless all is wrong in the world.
 If most men lead lives of quiet desperation" as Thoreau says they do, 1t is, l suspect, because they will not allow cheerulness to break in upon them when it will. A good dis position is worth a fortune. Give cheerfulness chance, says the At lantic Monthly, and let the professed philosopher go hang.

FIRE KILLS MANY PARASITES
Burning Out of stubbIe Fields Is Wasteful, But It Has Another Side
 for Consideration.

We feel that the burning out of stubble in fields and pastures is waste ful, but it has another side that calls for consideration. Insects of many kinds infest these fields and take a share Of OUT hard-earned farm pro- duce. The fire destroys myriads of these insects or their eggs if it is ap- piled at the right time, and if we use the fire it is up to us to study the hab- It's of the most troublesome insects and destroy them.

1 of the head type. For home use the Hanson of California Cream Butter might be grown, us they are of better quality than the Big Boston. The markets of the East demand hard head lettuce of the Big Boston type, but the markets of the Central use more of the l0ose-leaf lettuce. Unless growing for local market, however, it is best to grow the headed type, be- cause large quantities of the other kind are grown under glass in the central states.
 Spinach.
 Spinach can be grown in the open in all sections along the coast from Norfolk, Va, south and in practically all sections of the lower tier of South ern states. In the colder regions of the South, this crop can be grown in the open with little protection or in canvas-covered cold frames through out the winter.
 The soil should be made fairly rich. Well-rotted manure is the best ferti- li2er but if this is not available, apply at the rate of 90 to 100 pounds of a high grade fertilizer per tenth acre. Sow the manure or fertilizer broad- cast and thoroughly harrow into the soil. Five ounces of seed will make two paintings on the plot 20 feet square in drills 10 to 12 inches apart Thin the plants out to stand three or four inches apart. Frequent shallow cultivation by hand or with wheel hoe should be given. When grown in frames, the cultivating must be done by hand. In most sections of the South, however, spinach can be grown in the open without any protection, as hard freeze causes very little in- jury.
 The variety of spinach most com monly grown is the Savoy. At Norfolk, Va, the large truckers grow a strain of this variety called the Norfolk Sa- vOy.
 Radish.
 Radishes should be grown rapidly to insure good table qualities. The soil should be fertile and contain abundant moisture. Fresh stable ma nure should not be used, however, as is would produce excessive leaf growth. Well-rotted manure is the best fertili- Fer and should be applied at rate of about two tens per tenth acre. If no

 For the benefit of those who like silver or gold laces and brocades of satin with silver or gold, these hats for mid-winter are shown. Their pop ularity testifies to an immense number of admirers.

city is provided by new shapes and new ways of developing hats and their trimmings, and "age cannot wither or custom-stale" the charm of these rich stuffs. Hats made of them suggest the splendor that is dear to women.
 In the group of hats pictured here, the turban at the left is made of black satin brocaded with gold. It is be- coming shape with two pompons of fur daringly placed at the sides. A binding of black velvet about the edge Is immensely becoming as a finish about the face.
 At the right a small shape with dropping brim has a round crown of black panne velvet and a brim of sil- yer lace About the brim edge there is a narrow brocaded ribbon, in bril- liant colors under the silver lace and the same ribbon appear again below the cellar of seal fur at the base of the crown. Here 1t is placed over the lace. At the right side, a small bow of the broeaded ribbon supports two ends finished with bit of fur and silver.
 The hat of gold lace at the cen IT Is called the "bustle" hat. It is entirely of gold lace and gold net, the latter puffed on to a wide bandeau at the back. The brim is edged with fur A favorite trimming for hats of this kind is narrow blue grosgrain ribbon threaded through the gold lace about the crown and little cluster of small brilliant fowers-posed somewhere on the brim.

COTTON WEAKENS
AFTER EARLY RISE
Consumption by Domestic
Mills Continues on
Large Scale

Heavy offerings of cotton were en-
countered yesterday, after further
advance in prices on he early trading,
and a sharp reaction took place In
consequence. May sold of from 1886
TO 1880, and the close was at about.
the low prices for the day, showing.
net losses of 81 to 2s points.
The opening was somewhat irreg-.
ular, first prices being 4 points lower,
TO 8 points higher, bat the bullisA Ger,
. sus figures encouraged a renewal or.
Tuesdays buying movement, and the
market soon turned frmer. Old crop
positions sold 10 70 II points net
higher during the middle Of the norm
ing, with the new crop showing net
gains of to 6 points. This advance
carried the market about ll6 points
above the low level Of last week, which.
evidently attracted scattered realizing
while IL seemed that the technical
position had weakened At first the
slight, but offerings became rather
more active late in the afternoon.
Rumors that a large coast liner had
been sunk were denied but helped 20
unsettle sentiment, while there were
reports of benehcisl rains in the South
west and talk OF tenders on March
contracts. Active months sold 81 20
% points net lower, with the new crop
relatively easy. Notwithstanding the
talk Of tenders on March, that delivery
closed within 10 points of May. al
though 10 would cost between II 20 Id
points a month to carry cotton TO the
local warehouses.
The census report showed domestic
mill consumption of 603.701 bales FOR
the month OF January, compared with
542,081 last year. The consumption OF
linters amounted to 70, 756 bales. against
S0,941 last year For the first six
months OF the season domestic con
sumption of lint and linters has
amounted 70 3,77S,7O3 bales, against
1921 $50 last year With the United
States government now in the market
for heavy cotton goods, no falling of
is expected IN the rate Of domestic
consumption, which promises 20 aggre-
gate over $500, 900 bales for the sea
son, including linters and foreign
grown cotton. Local traders said they
found no change in spot adyices re-
ceived here from the South. There
we're private wires from Savannah
claiming that serict low middling wa&
selling there at 40 points on March,
and there was good demand from
exporters in New Orleans. Canadian
and Eastern mills are said TO have
been buying spots in the local market
recently because of delayed shipments
from the South. Exports for the day
we're small, amounting TO only $50
bales, making 3,Ssl.l24 so far this sea-
son. Southern spot markets, as OIL
cially reported. were % points. higher
20 20 points lower.
