Money Is Deposited
in Banks by Lincoln
Highwqy Officials

That the Lincoln Highway asso-
citation Is ready to back its proposd
road building with ready cash is the
statement made by A. F. Bement
secretary, who in company with H.
C. Osterman. field secretary who
spent several days in Ely during the
week.
AS evidence that their intentions
are sincere, Mr.. Bement has deposit
ed $4,000 in the Copper National
bank at East Ely, $1,000 in the
Churchill National bank, $1,000 in
Carson Valley bank and $4,000 In
the Reno National.
The $4,000 thus contributed is to
be expended on the mud flats near
Fallon, as soon as an equal amount
has been raised from the state or the
different counties in Nevada.
II am willing to spend double that
amount to put the Lincoln Highway
in Churchill county, but no noise
like money was forthcoming from
either state or the diffrent counties.
hence nothing has been done for
road betterment
'The apathy of Nevada officials
has been disappointing. Money will
be withdrawn from Nevada and used
in Wyoming where state and county
have agreed to contribute two dol
lars for every dollar donated by the
association.

Trained Men in Business

From '"The Young Men and Americas $ Opportunity,'' by Irwin c. Jennings. , in Scribner's. Take, as an example of present con- ditions. those that exist in the finan- cial district of New York. The deposits in the big banking institutions of this district during the past two or three years have been growing at a tre-
 mendous rate. The number of em- ployes that has become necessary to handle the additional work caused thereby has almost doubled. The off cers of these institutions have had no time in which to make a careful se had to be done. and immediate The result has been that a great number of these new men are educationally poorly equipped to advance very far in banking work, and there Is no more pitiful sight than to see man who Is loyal and faithful to his work de- nied advancement because of his edu- cational limitations. It is true that many of these employees are making heroic efforts at self-education avail ing themselves of the means of learn ing the theoretical and technical de- tails of their profession, as provided by the American Institute of Banking and other agencies but certainly it would have been better If such tech nical training could have supplement- ed thorough general education. Where to obtain good men for posi- tions in even this desirable profess sion iss at present a problem with bank officers.
 On the other hand. one great bank ing institution has recognized the ne- cessity of improving its organization with educated men. and has inaugur- ated system of bringing the college man into connection with it's work in a very admirable manner What this institution is doing for the improve ment of its organization should be done on a broader scale for our coun- try's progressive industries, in provid- ing for them means of building up organizations to meet the opportunities that have come to them for growth and expansion

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, June S0.-Liquidation was the most prominent influence in the cot ton market here today, ana it worked against prices moderately. It was stim- ulated by expectations of the bureau re- ports due Monday and also, to some ex- tent, by the rains in the eastern half of the belt. The weather, however, was fairly evenly balanced, rains being off, set to a great extent by the drouth and high temperatures in the western belt.
 Around the opening and toward the mid ale of the session, the market was at a net advance, active months at their high est being to points over yesterday S closing prices. The selling out of con- tracts by the long side put the market to net decline of sh to r points. Clos ing prices showed a net loss of F to 16 points.
 A feature of the day was the receipt here of the second bale of the new crop and the first new bale to reach this mar ket It came from San Benito, Tex, and graded good middling. At auction it brought 40c pound the proceeds being donated to the Red Cross. The bale will be sent to New York to be auctioned there for the benefit of the Red Cross.

Women Writers in the War

Agnes Repplier writes in the Woman's Home Companion:
 And women American women They have big and a hard part to play in the nations struggle for right. What ever may have been their sentiments be- fore state of war was declared, honor and honesty now demand unfailing alle- glance to their country. The eight lead ing colleges for women which pledged their loyal services to the administra- ton, blazed trail which we may wisely follow. No one can accuse the heads of these colleges or their faculties, of har- boring the military spirit. On the con trary, 1t was we'll known that some of them were earnest advocates of peace. The document which they indorsed. and sent to MT. Wilson. breatfed spirit of integrity as we'll as of courage and de- votion.
 Although we believe that the settle ment of International difficulties by war is fundamentally wrong, we recognize that in world crisis such as this it may become ouri highest duty to defend by force the principles upon which Chris tian civilization is founded. Any service which we can render. and Csc far as we can speak for them) any service which the thousands of trained women whom we have sent out from our colleges can render, we hereby place at the disposal of our country"

TRADING QUIET ON
 COTTON MARKET
Prices Fluctuate and the General List Closed
 Irregular

New York, June 3o.-Prices fluctuated irregularly in the cotton market here this morning with trading quiet and be- Heved to be largely in the way of even- ing-up commitments for over the week end and the government report of Mon day. After an early decline to 26.27c Oc- tober rallied to 2651c and closed at 2G. 96c with the general list closing irregular net point higher to points lower An opening advance of 1 to 12 points reflected covering on continued drouth complaints from the southwest and talk of low con- dition figures. Considerable realizing was encountered around the initial prices and reactions followed to 2666c for July and 26.39c for December. This carried the active months about to b points under last nights closing figures, where the market was again steadied by covering Reports of rising temperatures in Texas and the outlook for generally clear weather over Sunday in that section probably served to stimulate buying, but after selling at 2690c for July and 26. roc for December. or 12 to IS points net higher, the market turned easier under renewed realizing, with later fluctuations rather nervous and irregular.
 Two more private crop reports were issued, one making the condition 68.o against 69.3 last month, while the other showed condition of TOP against TOO last month, being the only one of the eight private reports recently published to suggest improvement. This report indicated decrease of 23 per cent in acreage Weekly reviews of the crop outlook were somewhat conflicting with reports of improvement in the eastern belt offset by fear of drouth damage in the west. Manchester cables said board of control had been approved by the gov ernment which was expected to ration traders and to reduce working hours in the mills. Port receipts today were 15 Al bales and 7,123,236 for the season; exports today, S127; for the season, 5,203 7O9; stock, 752, ,016

 The close was 12 to 16 points down. On the opening and around the middle of the session the market stood at small net advance. prices at their highest being 4 to points over yesterdays close. While good rains were reported in the
 eastern belt, the westehrn belt was as
 dry as ever and the forecast predicted

SOUND CONDITION
 OF STOCK MARKET
Industrial Issues Make Easy Recovery of Downward
 Movement

New York, June 30.-Considering wide- spread interest in the freight rate sit uation, it was the general opinion that today's short session demonstrated the stock markets sound condition. Refusal yesterday of the 15 per cent increase asked by the railroads resulted in ex- treme losses of 2 to points in most of the important railway shares, St. Paul being the chief sufferer Coalers, trans continentals, trunk lines and low price issues which had most to gain by favor able action reacted to 21s points,
 Industrials, equipments and many un- classified stocks were carried down 1 to points in the early movement, but re- covered with surprising ease, carrying the entire list with them. Features of especial strength were Crucible, Lacka wanna Bethlehem and Midvale Steels and Colorado Fuel, Great Northern Ore and Republic Iron at actual advances of more than points.
 United States Steel made net gain of and Baldwin and American Locomotives, New York Air Brake, American Can and the petroleums closed at advances of 1 to almost 3 points. Industrial Alcohol, Ohio Gas, General Motors and less ac- tive specialties rallied from early losses to material gain, the market closing with a burst of strength. Total sales amount ed to 4200oo shares
 Redeposit of liberty loan funds was clearly reflected in the bank statement, actual reserves increasing by almost S63,000,000, largely correcting the adverse conditions of recent weeks. Actual loans expanded by slightly more than S110,0oO- GOO and reserves in the local federal bank increased $107,0O0,0 900.
 Rubles were quoted at the new min imum of P cents, but that figure was nominal rather than actual.
 The bond market was irregular on small offerings Total sales, par value, aggregated $1,360,000. Liberty bonds ranged from par to a light premium, actual sales during the week, but other United States bonds were lower by frac- tions to almost points on call.

beings knew these things 1t might be great help.
 The man who changes his job too fre- quently bears looking into. Perhaps he changed because he kept outgrowing his position, and getting something better each time. But on the other hand, he may have changed for some distinctly other reason, which one is entitled to know before trusting him too far. A surety company usually has an applicant give list of all employments for several years previous. If he has been in busi- ness for himself part of that time he is asked to give the dates and places. and these are carefully verified. Tn case the dates do not all check up properly and there appears to be dark period or cpl sode that the applicant is trying to cover up, this detail is, of course, investigated
 Where there is no gap in a mans list of employments, that is, no period of his life when he was not following some oc- cupation and giving satisfactory service. he is probably reasonably good risk"

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

chicago, June 30.-Urgent demand today for corn for immediate delivery brought about the highest prices ever reached in the corn market here. No. yellow, a regular contract grade. commanding s1.75 a bushe1. The mar ket closed unsettled at gains of h Q Ac. Wheat showed an advance of F 0 lc net with July at s2.02 and Septem- Der at S1S2 Oats wound up A e 9s c higher. In provisions the outcome ranged from 25c decline to a rise of 5c.
 Influential traders in corn appeared to be much impressed by scarcity of this connection, seaboard messages were received telling of good export demand, but saying that business was restricted by inability to obtain the needed grain in the west. High tenn peratures in Kansas and Nebraska tended further to increase bullish sen timent. The weather elsewhere. how ever. was favorable and this fact caused at first considerable transient weakness in the new crop months.
 Wheat and oats hardened in syrnpa- thy with the corn bulge. Wheat bears had an advantage in the early trading. though, on account of announcement that the first new wheat this season had arrived at the Atlantic seaboard ready for shipment to Europe. There were also advices at hand that harvest ing of new wheat was in progress in Illinois and that cutting was being done as far north as Alton.
 Considerable apprehension for the safety of oats resulted from work Of high temperatures in prospect. It was said that rank growth. due to recent excessive wet weather. had left the crop in no position to withstand ex- treme sudden heat.
 Provisions declined owing to con- tinued slowness of cash demand and to further weakness in the hig market.
