New York Cotton.

New York, Aug. 2O.-There was a
sharp decline in the cotton market early
today. More favorable weather advices
from the southwest seemed 10 bring out
cotton that had been bought on the
drouth complaints OF last week, and
after opening steady at a decline OF
p to 25 points, the market soon sold
80 to SO points net lower.
Later months were relatively easy
with October declining to 2417, or 125
points from the high level OF last week
while January sold of to 25.O3. making
a decline Of ll9 points from the recent
high levels.
Later month liquidation was attrib-
uted to the expectation Of freer hedge
selling as a result Of increased pro.
gress with picking. and sentiment may
also have been influenced 20 some ex.
tent by rumors that the advisability OF
placing cotton under export licensing
regulations still was being discussed.

SOME WAR ODDITIES.
American Ships Cook Found New
Method TO Attack Submarines

Rochester Democrat IL remained for
an American ships cook to find a brand
new method of attack on U.boats. An
enemy submarine Of the largest type on
coming to the surface found itself al.
most rubbing sides with an American
steamer. The unexpected encounter at
such close quarters caused a sensation
on board the ship and, presumably. also
in the submarine. The cook on the

ences somewhere in France" we crib
"a little extract showing the mood in
which the man at the front receives the
parcels sent him from home.
Everyone knows that war means to
the soldier a big measure of depriva-
ton. Every week the recognition is
made by thousands Of womenfok at
home, when they dispatch the parcels
OF little luxuries to their boy az the
front. And at the front we could only
marvel at the aptness of the contents
which love had unerringly chosen Gen-
orally the parcel contained eatables-a
homemade cake, fruit, chocolate and
what not. Often, too, il contained YER
min-killers, carbolic soap or clean un-
derlinen And the senders were right.
They remembered our love for good
food, and they remembered our cold
tubs and extraVagant laundry bills and
as a matter Of fact these were. for
most Of us, the Injuries which We had
most priced, and the loss of which we
chiefly mourned
Every week, however, there used
to come to the writer an envelope con-
tanning gift more exquisitely subtle
"a soft handkerchief wrapped around

was so out Of keeping with every cir.
cumstance Of ones life, so like breath
OF fragrance from another world, that
its preciousness was infinite unspeak-
able. II brought with it memories Of
the deep quiet of old gardens, the prim
brightness Of herbaceous borders, and
all things dainty and most utterly re-
mote from the sordid business Of trench
warfare. II was the source Of the
most intimate personal delight but at
the same time II must be confessed that
it did arouse and paint that feeling Of
deprivation which Is never quite absent
from life in the trenches. II revived
the finer perceptions which had become
dulled by constant contact with the
squalid makeshifts OF an artfciany
primitive Interpretations which one
had perhaps been content TO see afro
phied, feeling that if we had to live
like a savage ii were best TO become
like one. II was, paradoxically enough
at once a consolation and an irritant:
a narcotic bringing sweet dreams of
the unattainable, and a tonic stimu-
lating inconyenient features into new
and insistent life.'

SINKING A LOST ART.
No Longer Are Songs Heard Among
PeODle AT Work.


Kansas City Journal: Singing, as far
as most people are concerned is a lost
art. Thousands attend operas, recitals
and musical comedies, but, as for sing.
ing themselves informally at their work
or play, they have forgotten how. In
times past people Of all ranks sang to-
gether as a matter Of course Sailors
sang at their work; peasants, shep-
herds, cowboys, all had their favorite
and appropriate songs. The songs Of
children at games, the lullabies Of moth
ers, are in the collected sballads and
folklore Of many peoples.
The pastimes and labors of the hus.
bandman and the shepherd" says An
drew Lang, were long ago a kind Of
natural opera. Each task had its own
song; plowing seeding, harvest. burial.
all had their appropriate ballads or
dirges.
The whole soul of the peasant class
breathes in its burdens as the great
sea resounds in the shell cast up on the
shore.
Nowadays the whirl of machinery
makes all the noise. The workers in
mills might find it unsatisfylng to sing
at their work, but it is doubtful if they
would sing even if their voices could be
heard, while singing in an office or
store would pretty surely be stopped by
the boss or the police. Thousands
congregate every night in the silence Of
moving picture theaters, and even in
the churches where singing by the con.
gregation used to be customary the at
tendants now usually listen in silence
to a paid singer.
Singing in this age is largely confirm.
ed to the professional performer.

WRITING WITH LEFT HAND.
How to Learn Told by British Army
Surgeon

Lancet: The difficulty of educating a
righthanded person to write with the
left hand, and the best method of over.
coming it, is described by Major Elwin
\. Nash of the British army medical
corps. As many persons, by reason
Of an injury to the right arm or hand,
find themselves faced with this prob.
lem, what DR.. Nash says is important,
especially as it is based upon personal
experience.
Or. Nash undertook to treat a thir-
teen-year-old boy whose right side was
paraly2ed and who had been given up
as hopeless by the teachers of many
schools. He found the trouble was that
the teachers, unable to write with their
left hands, tried to get the boy to copy
with his left hand the motions they
were making with their right. His
brain was unable to perform this look.
ing glass act of translation. SO DR..
Nash determined to learn to write with
his left hand and then to get the boy
TO copy his motions. This he did with
highly satisfactory results.
Ht HtIItL VI HuGCtsS lle5 III tAdGlly
reversing the right hand positions of
paper and pencil. Instead Of the upper
edge of the paper sloping up TO the
right, ii should slope up to the left.
The line of the writing should slope
down from left to right at an angle OF
about SO degrees with the edge of the
desk and the slope of the writing
should be backwards at an angle Of
about As degrees TO the writing line.
I'm this method" writes DR.. Nash
1T win be found that the fingers are
in the most natural position for writ
ing, the arm and the wrist being in a
straight line and there being a wide
sweeping motion Of the wrist if re
quired.F This is much easier to learn
than writing straight across and re-
suits in less cramping Of the fingers.
A fine pen is the tool to use; a broad
pen results in blots because it's point
is cut for right handed writing, and
there must be no attempt at hurry in
the beginning.

ferson county in section 49, is be-
lieved to be on top Of a sand at almost
1900 feet and the contractor will be
ready to resume drilling tomorrow or
Wednesday, That situation is worth
scouting. On the Pearce farm the Gyp-
sy Oil Company has passed through a

below and an oil sand is likely TO be

that has been successfully controlled

possible in Sinclair Astral on account
of the heavy gas sand at 1880 feet.
The Chaffee well should be ready to
drill this week and a little drilling
there may uncover sand as the well
is making some gas now. During the
week the Carter Oil Company should
correct casing trouble on the Pugh
farm. in 1S.4.2. and ascertain what the
sand found there at 1913 feet will make
