The Kings Daughters having aI- ready established in 1908 home for worthy Protestant women in the large brick building formerly Latin rop's Tavern, on the up town green, a friendly agreement was finally reached by whichNthe Johnson Home assumed certain financial responsibil- ities, and the Kings Daughters by their officers undertook to act as a house committee.

Hold yourself! Do not think it is your duty to speak when you have a different view of matters. If you value your opinions properly. you will not throw them around. No opinion is so worthless as the opinion that has not been asked for. There is no road to meddlesomeness and trouble straighter than this one of rendering advice which may be needed but will not be appreciated. Christians of conviction should cherish as precious that Chris tian admonition: Cast not your pearls before swine" There is a time for speech and time for. silence, and the proportion of silence to speech should never be less than 100 to l. Serious talk is always nettling to a person not receptive to it. and only occasionally does it eventually produce good results Patience and example are often very much more effective than speech We have been told accents of love are all that is left of the language of Para disc Acc6nts of love seldom mark our chidinSs. It is more of a sin to say too much than too little. That said in praye ris better than that said in personal criticism

THE MARKETS
NEW YORK COTTON

New York, Sept. 12.-The cotton
market was very nervous and irreg-
ular early today. The opening was
II points higher on September and
6 to 20 points higher on later posi-
tions, with the tone barely steady at
the advance. Realizing was very
heavy, and the trade took rather a
more favorable view of the weather
map which showed slightly higher
temperatures in the South. After
selling at 20.95 on the call, October
eased off to 20.80, while January re-
acted from 20.70 to 2053, or back to
nearly last nights closing.
Slight rallies preceded the weekly
weather report, but this statement
read more favorably than expected
and the market soon weakened again
under continued realizing. Southern
and local selling. At midday, October
contracts had sold off to 20.40 and
January to 20.10 making a decline
of 35 to 40 points from last nights
close and of about SIS to 60 points

CORN MARKET RALLIES

Chicago, Sept. 12.-Buying on the
part of strong speculative interests
rallied the corn market today from
an early decline. The initial weak
ness was due to weather conditions
favorable for maturing the crop.
Opening prices which ranged from
Is to 3-4c lower with December at
SLIT Ia to LII Sd and May at
lis to lis IA was soon followed
by an upturn to well above yester-
days finish.
Cats developed Independent strength
owing to the fact that receipts con-
tinued strong.
The government weekly weather
report was construed as upholding
the position of the bulls in corn. In
the late dealings, however, the weak
ness of the New York stock market
counted as depressing influence
here.
The close was heavy IA to 5-Sc
net lower.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, Sept. 12.-Nervous-
ness over the tropical storm kept the
cotton market here at the advance
in the early trading today but buying
was restricted by the fair weather
over the belt and the forecast of
continued fair weather. In the first
half hour of business, prices rose s
to Ia points.
The weekly weather reports were
regarded as being less favorable than
expected and moderately heavy sell
ing ensued Toward noon active
months were 35 to 43 points under
yesterdays close.
The announcement that the Car|
bean storm had been dissipated en-
couraged fresh selling pressure on

to net decline of Sc to 90 points.
