At 928 S. Marshfeld av., in a

lives a man, his wife and ten chill

The man earns $12, sometimes SIS

work after school for a total of Sc a

SIS to $21 a week. This is getting to

Let's have some more mathemat-

otry--- The Ideal Vacation Land for the Outer
TO FATHERS
When You Join the Red Cross
and Give Your Mite, You Help
Our Soldiers in Europe and
Feed Starving Babies.

Fathers: Suppose that three years
ago a powerful and savage enemy had
invaded our nation suddenly and you
had been called into the army to de-
fend the country. Suppose that our
county had been captured by the in
vader; your home burned, your wife
and half-grown daughter carried away
into slavery worse than death and your
son mutilated and put to work behind
the enemy lines.
You think such things couldn't hap
pen to you and your family? Well,
just those horrors were visited upon
thousands Of fathers in France and
Belgium by the kaiser's savages. 1t
has been revealed to us during the last
few months by the secret service that
the Huns were plotting an invasion
Of the United States through Mexico.
But for fair destiny those horrors
would have been ours, because the kai-
ser aims to dominate the world anu
spread over the earth his brand of love
and fellowship called "kultur."
The American Red Cross has been
called upon to relieve suffering "over
there" and to restore as far as possible
devastated sections of allied territory.
It is now on the job. The Red Cross
is conducting thousands of hospitals in
France for American and allied SOL
diers, and running ambulance lines
and comfort stations innumerable.
Yet the organization cannot do
enough because it hasn't half enough
members back home here to support
the vast work there. So now it is con-
Quoting campaign to get fifteen mil
lion members by Christmas eve. 1t Is
an honor to belong to the Red Cross.
If you aren't already wearing the little
Ibutton, enroll at once. The member
ship costs just $1.O0 year. Another
dollar brings you the Red Gross N'agu-
zine for twelve months.

What the Craftsman Does.

Generally speaking, a craftsman, or
draughtsman, is one who draws plans
from instructions given him. A me-
chanical craftsman is an assistant to
mechanical engineer, and he draws the
plans of the engineers proposed
works. If he is a mechanical engineer
1t will be plans of machines, bridges,
etc. An architect plans buildings, and
his craftsman, from instructions fur
nished him, draws the plans. The
craftsman is largely copyist. He
creates nothing, but he gives express
sion to the ideas of his superior.

GENERALLY STEADY
 PRICES IN COTTON
Reduction in War Risk In- surance and Coverings
 Result in Advances

New York, February 1.-The cot prices were generally steady on re- ports of a further reduction in war risk insurance rates and covering for over the weekend After selling at 15.92c May contracts advanced to 1e.o6c and closed at 16c, with the gen eral list closing steady at a net ad- vance of 4 to points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to points and the early fluctuations were somewhat irregular with the volume of business smaller than for several weeks. Local traders took this as an indication that out standing accounts had already been pretty well evened up pending fresh developments in the political or ship ping situations. Toward the middle of the morning however. demand be- came little more active in sympathy with firmness in New Orleans and on the more optimistic view of the ocean freight situation. March sold up to 15.94c and July to 16.13c, with active months generally working about i3 to 15 points net higher. The bulk of the buying, however, was attributed to covering and closing prices were shade off from the best under real izing. Reports that the British ad- miralty might establish an examina- tion station off the South Atlantic coast such as that now operating at Halifax, attracted considerable atten- ton. as it would be considered advan- tageous to cotton shippers. It was also reported that the announcement with reference to British restrictions on imports expected on Monday morning had been delayed and one of the pri- vate cables received here said it was considered improbable that the restric- tions contemplated would seriously af- feet cotton. Otherwise, the days news received little comment around the ring and the market was considered too narrow by local brokers to indi- cate any material change in senti- ment March contracts continued to rule within 12 or 14 points of May, although cotton out of the local stock is said to be offered at small pre- iniums on March, Northern spinners were again reported on the market here for small lots. supposedly to re- place delayed shipments from the south.
