New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, Aug. 25.-Week end
 covering by shorts put the price of
 cotton 5 to 15 points higher around the opening today but a private bu- reau report showing crop improve
 ment in the central belt, encouraged fresh selling and the market was soon on the down trend. At the end of the first half hour of buisness the trading months were 17 to 22 points under yesterdays close.
 Heavy liquidation from the long side, forced by the favorable map, the bearish week end statistics and the wide losses in southern spot markets wldened the decline. Late in the morn- ing the most active months were AS to54 points under yesterdays final prices.
 ... The clotton market closed steady. Theranpe.

New York.-The managers of the ho- tels and public buildings that are now decorated with flags of the allies are very likely to be brought to task by some stanch patriot if the flag of his country, no matter how small or little talked of, does not prominently figure in the scheme.
 An excitable stranger Rccostea H. Douglass Brown, assistant manager oS q hotel here, and demanded volubly to know why a flag of San Marino was not with the others in front of the ho- tel. For awhile the manager was over whelmed, but finally made out that the man was one of the ten thousand odd inhabitants of San Marine and that he and his relatives, making up most of the population. wanted 1t understood that they and their army of $50 were now allies of this vera great comtree" ]"
 In some distress of mind MT. Brown went to the decorators room, but no San MarinO flag could be found, so 8 special order was given, and within a few days the smallest repubhc-twenty- two square mtleS-and one of the worlds oldest, having existed thou sand years, will have It's place beside its greater allies.

GROWTH OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE

A study of the relative growth of the leading languages in the last hundred wears shows that English has risen from fifth Co first place In 1900 1t was spoken by about ouc-eighth of the h. hab.taurS of the civilized world; today It is the language of about one-third.
 Besides this. English has taken the place that French occupied much less than lOO years ago us the nterna- tiouaI language. It's speech is ever be- coming wider. for the inhabitants of all India are finding it necessary; 1t is now a required study in the high schools of Japan. and those of China are teaching it to millions of students
 Would it he too rash to predict that by the year 2UoO English will be the language ur all thu world and other tongues will have become merely local in turir usee Exchange.

 General Barnett, commanaant of ma rines. said the morale and spirit of the men would be seriously affected unless they were first men" as usual of the United States expeditionary armed forces. He said he would have no diff flculty in getting the S0OO0 men.
 We are getting them as fast as we can digest them now" he said.
 Rear Admiral Palmer, chief of the bureau of navigation, explained the navy's needs for an increase from ST. 900 to 10000 men.
 ''The navy will need 5000 men for aviation," he said.

 Must Cultivate Extra AeroE-

Philadelphia. The University of Pennsylvania will be the first of Amer lean colleges to tackle the food supply problem, which has recently taken on a serious aspect, according to plans an- nounced at the university by pr. J. Russell Smith, professor of industry, who has charge of the movement. Stu dents are to be sent out in squads of from five to fifty to all sections of the country to assist farmers in planting and cultivating spring crops.
 Every student signing will be given credit for his years work and be sent out immediately. Students will be placed on farms at q minimum salary of S2O a month. In each one of the battaliOns there will be a captain, who Is to have charge of the men in his community, referee all disputes be tween employer and students and re port each mans progress to the univer- sity. Each farmer upon accepting one of the students as helper must promise to cultivate twelve acres more of land than he has heretofore. pr. Smith claims that at a conservative estimate each man sent out will thus be respon- sible for APO extra bushels in the corn crop alone, which means that the first fifty men who leave for western Yir- ginia will add some 21,OOO bushels of corn to this years crop.

OPENING DAY PLANS
 WILL BE DISCUSSED
 AT MEETING OF FANS

Birmingham's campaign to win the opening day attendance trophy will be launched Tuesday at noon, when the fans and supporters of the Birmingham Base ball association will gather at the Tut wiler hotel at luncheon to discuss plans. The meeting has been called by Secre- tary Blanks Everett of the Chamber of Commerce. acting under instructions from President w. D. Smith of the local club.
 The local association is planning to make a strenuous effor, to capture the attendance trophy again this year. Last year, with a paid attendance of about 12,150 Birmingham won the trophy over Atlanta with about 75o paid admissions to spare.
 Advces from the Cracker city this year tend to show that Atlanta is strainng every muscle to "Kop the I<up." The At lanta Chamber of Commerce is already behind the movement and every effort is being made to stir up a patriotic spirit in the Georgia capital.
 Birmingham must turn out en masse or else Atlanta will probably win the cup. It must also be remembered that Birmingham must beat New Orleans and Memphis but not to have a higher paid attendance than Atlanta on the opening day means that the trophy will go to that city.
 Gdck tho paFh IS tHe SioSdi duoPtSu by the local hustlers. It is believed that at least 15,Oo0 will witness the game and many are of the opinion that it will take fully that many to win the trophy. The season will open on Thursday, April F. The Nashvills Vols headed by Roy FL lam, will be the Barons' opponents in the initial struggle.
 Other details of the campaign will be announced later. Birmingham faces a real fight and they must show the real stuff to score a victory
