DECREE HITS COTTON TRADERS.
Court Decision Holds Present Form of
Contracts Illegal.

FORT SMITH, Ark, August Fed
eral Judge Frank A. Youmans in a de-
cision here yesterday held that the pres
ent standard form Of contract used on
the New York and New Orleans cotton
exchanges does not comply with the
provisions of the United States cotton
futures act and therefore is Illegal
The decision, if finally upheld, will
prohibit trading in cotton and will
close every exchange, said c. B.
Thorn, member of the plaintiff firm, in
discussing the effect of the decision of
Judge Youmans Under the court s
ruling it will be necessary for the slips
as they pass from broker to brok-
er on the floor of the exchange to
specifically name the principal. The
slips must be signed up the next morn
ing by o clock. In hundreds of cases
the principal lives hundreds of miles
from the exchange and it is impossible
for him to be present so it readily car
be seen what the decision does.

Diuestibility of Cheese.

BY experiments on the digestibility
of cheese 1t has been shown that much
depends on the special physical char
acters of the food. All fat cheeses are
said to be dissolved and digested with
great rapidity, because the molecules
of casein-the heterogeneous part of the
cheese-are separated only by the fat,
and 50 the gastric juice can attack q
large surface of the cheese at one
time. Whether the cheese be hard OF
soft does not appear to influence dl.
gestion, and there Is no connection be.
tween the digestibility and the per
centage Of water present in the cheese

lincoln Reader.

Abraham Lincoln, instead of be-
ing vague, superhuman shadow, is
Of the very blood and bone OF "The
Crisis which will be presented at
Reynolds Theatre Tuesday, March
.27. Winston Churchill made Lin
coin vital parsonage in his novel.
Lincoln, as portrayed by Sam D.
Drane, is a gaunt, awkward, yet
magnetic backwoodsman, who rose
by sheer common sense to the Presi-
dency, in spite Of the scorn and
contempt of his enemies, and even
his enthusiastic, whole-hearted
friends could not restrain smile
at the spectacle Of such leader. It
is the human Lincoln, not the Lin
coin that history and tradition are
already converting into demigod.
Lincoln is intimately mixed up
with the plot Of "The Crisis" and
appears again and again thruout the
play: He is not merely shadowy
figure in a historical background,
but is as necessary in tangiing and
then unravelling the threads Of the
story as any fictitious creation Of
Mr.. Churchill's imagination. He Is
shown In the picturesque campaign
OF the sixties, when the flaming
torchlight and the cracking bonfire
added a homely excitement unknown
In this day of electric illuminations;
his debate with Douglas is dramatic
ally staged; and events are then
depicted. that converted him from
village humorist to a sublime man
of sorrows, firm in his determination
to save the nation intact, yet ever
merciful to the individual sufferer;
and finally, North and South, em-
bodied in the Northern hero, Steph-
en- Brice, and the Southern heroine.
Virginia Carvel, are united thru the
tact of Lincoln himself.

basket ball team of Union City High
School sailed forth upon the war;
path met the enemy, Grove High
School, of Paris, Tenn, and added
another scalp to their belt.
When the foeman took the field
for the accustomed "warm-up," be-
fore the game, the spectators pre-
dicted that High School would GER
tainly be beaten this time, for the
opponents were large-very much
larger than the home team and
made a favorable showing, too.
However, the old adage, ''all that
glitters is not gold" was again prov
en-, because not only did Union City
win but by the overwhelming score
Of 23 to 5.
Paris Handicapped as they were by
lack of practice and suitable grounds
upon which to practice acquitted
themselves honorably. Valiantly
they fought and well, but in vain,
for High was out for blood and blood
she must have.

-fiant game. shooting time and again

game. Capt. Jordan, despite the
fact that she had been confined to
her room on account of illness dur
ing the preceding week, played with
the old-time pep" and zeal. Noah,

with her unerring and rapid passes
aided in piling up the score. Rich

well and performed the task laid
down for them, weakening the OPP

BIG MEN TALK.
President Wilson Speaks on the Sun
day School.
Register.

You will remember that the legal
Inauguration Day, March 4, fell on
Sunday. An up-to-date school OF
the Christian Church In Cincinnati
planned to have that day patriotic
day. They requested the President
and Vice President to send greetings
that day. The following replies
came:
mo study is more important to
the child than the study Of the Bible
and Of the truths which 1t teaches,
and there is no more effective agency
for such study than the Sunday
school. It certainly Is one of the
greatest factors in our lives in the
building of character and the de-
velobment OF moral fiber, for its in
fiuence begins almost as soon as the
child is able to talk and continues
thruout life. The Sunday school les
son OF to-day is the code Of morals Of
tomorrow. Too much attention can
not be paid to the work which the
Sunday school is doing.
