An oyerbodice and a tunic joined
 together, distinguish the smart and snappy dress of wool fabric which is pictured here. Both are decided sue cesses in this seasons styles. The tunic is worn over a narrow, straight hanging underskirt and the sleeveless bodice over a lining bodice, with sleeves attached made of the same cloth as the dress or of satin. Quite often the underskirt is of satin also. These two items of information will prove useful to those thrifty and patriotic women who are conserving our wool supply by making over a last years suit or dress into this years model. It can be done very successfully when a shortage of material is helped out with satin sleeves or satin underskirt.
 The dress pictured is excellent for business or general wear Machine stitching in rows, buttons and button holes give it a tailored finish. The tunic opens at the left side, with one edge finished with buttOnholes and the other with buttons, manifestly made for each other But they are destined never to be united for a mere slip of q braided band stands between them.

 One kiln owner has estimat- ed that for one carload of dried vegetables it requires 167 cars to move and distribute the same value in canned vege- tables. Here is the way he has figured it out:

An accident, that came near
being fatal to Captain William
Kyle, occurred near Clarendon
last Sunday afternoon. He was
riding in an automobile and a boy
on a bicycle came out of a side
street just ahead of the auto, and
the driver, in attempting to save
him from injury, steered to one
side, when the auto turned over.
The driver was thrown clear off
the car, but Captain Kyle was
caught under the machine, His
shoulder was dislocated, besides
receiving other injuries. We are
pleased to state that he is rapidly
recovering under the care of Drs.

GOOD FELLOWS.

You are a good fellow. at least
you have that reputation among
the "bunch." They all say you
always set 'em up when you We
got the price. That may be true
and the fellow that bears this
reputation among the bunch is
usually about as worthless and no
account as the ordinary bum.
The young man that gets this kind
of name is usually looked upon
by the producers and the business
men Of the country as unreliable,
untrustworthy and unfit to hold
position that requires a level
bead. good judgment and con-
tinual work and the exercise of
>clear business energy. Good re-
pute and real worth travel as fast
as the other and is known just as
far and by a much more desira BILE
class of fellows.
Strong, big business men are
always on the lookout for young
men Of broad caliber, who are
competent, willing and able to do
things, things that are worth do
ing, things that are to be done
every day in this great business
world. Get the reputation of do
ing things that are worth while
and keep it up. You will loose
the "bunch" and reputation you
have with them, as a "good fell
low" but your gain will be a rep
utation among a class Of men that
will bring to you peace, happi-
ness. prosperity and sweet salts

great peaceful people into war,
into the most terrible and disas-

self seeming to be in the balance.
But the right is more precious
than peace, and we shall fight for
the things which we have always
carried nearest our hearts-fOr

who submit to authority to have
voice in their own governments,
for the rights and liberties Of
small nations, for a universal do
minion of right by such con
cert of free peoples as shall bring
peace and safety to all nations
and make the world itself at
least free. To such a task we
can dedicate ourselves and our
fortunes, everything that we are
and everything that we have, with
the pride Of those who know that
the day has come when America
is privileged to spend her blood
and her might for the principles
that gave her birth and happl-
ness and the peace which she
has treasured. God helping her,
can do no other. -

REVIEW FOR WEEK
 OF COTTON MARKET
By "HOp''

New York. February 9.-The extraor- dirary excitement and record breaking fluctuations caused by the German block ade announcement have been followed by diminishing activity and narrow price movements in the cotton market during the past week. The announcement that diplomatic relations with Germany had been severed, brought out some further liquidation on Saturday morning. May contracts. which had closed at 14osc on Friday sold off to 13.sSc, but it seemed that speculative long accounts had been well liquidated previously, and prices soon rallied. Before the close on Mon day. May sold up to 16.01c, making a recovery of over 8 cent a pound from the low level of Saturday and of $l7:50 per bale from the low level of the previous Thursday. The buying on this advance seemed partly in the nature of a patriotic demonstration, but consisted largely of covering. and after this had run its course, business apered off. Fluctuations since then, have been extremely nerv- ous and irregular, with the trade evil dently waiting further developments.
 The large amount of tonnage destroyed since the beginning of the submarine cam paign has naturally caused more or less anxiety as to the export outlook, and there was sharp falling off in clear ances for the week, which, however, had been foreshadowed to some extent by the reduction in the amount on shipboard at the close of the previous Friday. Prices have also shown a tendency to fluctuate with the political tension, but
 in a general way the weeks movements have been considered a. reflection of gen. eral nervousness in a steadily narrowing market.
 Foreign trade interests, including Ja- panese houses, have been credited with buying new crop months and there has been further buying here by Liverpool. Very little hedge selling has been re- ported, and reports from the south have indicated that offerings of unhedged cot ton were small, with hedged cotton sell ing only at a very stiff basis. Buyers on declines have evidently been i'm pressed by the probability of large gov ernment purchases of coarse cotton goods, and many bullish arguments have been heard as to the effect on cotton values should this country actually be forced into the war. Generally. however, the tendency has been to reduce com mitments and local brokers said the, zrsr ket was very closely evened up 71dthe close of the week.
