NEW YORK, March 81. Unexpected
heavy rains in the eastern pelt and better
cables than looked for caused a steady tone
at the opening of the cotton market prices
advancing / to points. There was large
supply from commission houses and SPOT
interests and this supplied all the demand.
which consisted mainly of continued cover
ing by shorts. Room traders Liverpool
and Wall street were buyers on smali
scale.
The early selling movement carried the
market about to 10 points net lower,
new crop positions being relatively easy,
Selling of the old crops was restricted by
the continued reduction in the local stocks.
while recent Wall street buyers were
liquidating new crop positions in advance Of
the meeting of Congress next week.
Offerings subsidized somewhat on the de.
cline and the market turned steadier toward
the middle of the morning on covering. with
old cron deliveries selling back to last
nights closing figures. The new crop did
not fully recover the early loss however.
and the tone was more or less unsettled
early in the second hour
The market in the afternoon was dulr and
steady. old crop selling about 3n5 points
net lower and the distant positions 12G IA
points lower Aside from switching oper-
ations by severa! of the largest houses busi-
ness was local in character, with sentiment
rather against the market. owing to po-
litiCal uncertainties.

SCORES POLITICS IN N. ].
SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION
Westfield Superintendent Raps Practice
of Showing Ami
mosities

MT. HOLLY, N. j., March 27.-The
methods that are employed in many places
throughout New Jersey in selecting boards
of education to look after public educa tionaI
interests were given a severe blow by DR..
]. j. Savitz, superintendent of schools at
Westfield, in an address before the Buring-
ton County Teachers Institute at the high
school auditorium here today. He deplored
the absolute disregard of the real purpose
of school elections by persons who give vent
to their i'll feelings and animosity at such
times, often for political purposes at other
times for laudation of self.
Doctor Savtz said that a community's 8
interests are frequently judged by the con-
dition of the schools.
Addresses on socializing school science
were made by Daniel r.. Hodgdon. OF New
ark and f.. A. Reuther. of the State De-
partment of Education. They would have
all departments working In combination,
having science taught in an elementary
way and using practical methods in deter
mining results.

Old "suoar Maxim"

It must have been busy, hard time
for our elders, those old sugar maxim
days, but we never heard them COM
plain. Maybe they liked 1t, hard work
and all, as a break In the monotony Of
a long, dull winter on the farm that
was away back from the main Travelled
road. The old sugar house dlsap-
peared long ago, and the grand old
trees are gone, too. The big level corn
field of today gives no hint Of past
joys, but some Of US can close our eyes
and reconstruct grandfather's farm,
and when we have put the old grove
back In its proper place, with the road
winding up through 1t, past the old
sugar house, to the quaint old steep
rooted house with its ever waiting look
Of welcome, and when the picture is
complete, along with all the other joys
Of going to grandfather's, we can even
taste the taste Of real molasses that
came from trees.-Indianapolis News

Animals We Never Met.

DR.. N. A. Cobb. an authority on
zoology, declares that there must be
hundreds OF thousands OF species of
nematodes, or threadworms, more than
nlne.tenths OF which are still unknown
to science. or the parasitic nematodes
infesting vertebrate animals alone II
is estimated that there are at least
10000 species, Insects, mollusks, crus-
taceans and other animal groups are
also much infested, and as rule
a given species of nematode is peculiar
to a single species OF host. Lastly the
species of nematode living free in soil
and water vastly outnumber the par
asitic species. As these creatures are
enormously prolific, the number of in.
dividuals must be quite beyond con-
ception, Doctor Cobb estimates that
in the upper foot Of an arabic soil
the number Of nematodes runs to thou
sands Of millions an acre.

The sore head has not been fully
appreciated by students of human af-
fairs. 1t even exceeds the love Of gain
in goading men to action, and it has
helped greatly in the elevation of Prus-
sia. At the end Of the Napoieonic
struggle the governing group in Prus'
sia sat down and reasoned with itself
somewhat after this fashion: Some
day we must defeat France, and thus
clear our good name and settle old
scores. To do this we must have an
army Of strong, efficient men, with
plenty of supplies. To get these things
we must educate every boy so that he
can utilize his powers to the utmost;
we must promote science to get indus
try, and then promote industry to get
the supplies. There is the key to the
last hundreds years Of Prussian his.

streets and see how many faith
ers you will find loafng about ut
terly Indifferent as to whether
or not their children receive bible
training. Then go on to the
churches and see how few of the
mothers are there. Considering
the indifference of the parents it
is remarkable to see how many
children attend the Sunday
schools regularly.
4 Many of these fathers who at.
tend the street corner meetings
are, or have been, church mem.
bers. Children usually depend
upon their parents for guidance
and are most apt to copy anc
make their own the habits of the
father and mother. In the home
chat has a real, genuine Chris:
'tian atmosphere, where father
and mother, in the intimate home
life, practice Christianity, child
rem will form correct habits anC
build strong characters. And il
is this class of parents that take
their children to the Bible school,
But from the careless parent who
thinks only of worldly things,
what can we expect? Surely the
father who publicly sets the 5ac
example1of ignoring the Bible
school can not be expected to de-
vote himself to the religious
training of his children, and they
are almost sure to follow in his
footsteps.

of actual CASH but enough is
known that shows that it at least
eight times as much, on the av-
erage, as the highest possible
road tax.
Good roads graded, hard-sur-
faced roads are necessary to
the prosperity. Of the people of
Morgan county. Such roads are
an absolute necessity if we meet
the high cost Of living that seems
must last for years yet to come.
These roads will cost much, out
they must be built if Morgan
county prospers. 1t is the, only
salvation. The farmer must be
furnished a market That will jus
tify his increase Of production,
and good roads will give hin
that market.
Ultimately, and as soon as it
can be managed, we must have a
hard-sarfaced road to a through
trunk line of railroad, to prevent
the extortion the two branch lines
of railroad subject us to now,
either to Morehead or Mt. Ster-
ling; but our first work will have
to be of an educational nature :
a beginning that will demonstrate
the benefits Of good roads, and it
is up to Judge Sebastian to take
the bull by,the horns and get to
work. Next year ought to wit
ness theeompletion of at least
one good stretch of turnpike, and
after that it will be easy.
Once the people learn the real
value in dollars and cents that
goedroads are to them, it will be
easy.to' build them all over the
county. Taxpayers will then
know and feel that money paid
in road taxes is the most profit
able of all their investments.

you to set the ball rolling.

Questions and Ans,Oers


It is the Governments engraved ac.
knowledgment (signed by authorized
ofiicials) that the Government has
borrowed from you a stated amount of
money, that it will repay this full
amount at a stated time, and that IL
will pay you interest on that amount
at a stated rate on certain dates.
q How do Liberty Bonds differ from
other bonds Issued by the Gov
ernment7
Not Mt all, except that the money re-
ceived by the Government on Liberty
Bonds will be used in this country TO
purchase materials and supplies for
thc prompt and effective ending of
;his war.
Q. How much money will the Govern.
ment raise by selling these eonds2
Three billion dollars (that is, three
thousand millions).
4. Does the Government need all this
money!
Yes. II will probably need even
more before the war ends. In that
event, more bonds will be sold.
5. Where will the Government spend
this money?
In buying supplies, the Government
aims to spend the money in the dis
riots where II is raised as far as pos
3ible.
6. II ! buy Liberty Bonds will I get In.
terest on my money!
Yes, twice a year at the annual rate
Of per cent. If a later issue of bonds
is issued at still higher rate of in.
terest, you will get that higher rate
Of interest by exchanging the bonds
you buy now for the new bonds.
7. II buy Liberty Bonds Will | Get back
all the money pay for them7
YOU certainly will, II We win the
war II we don't wan, youn not have
to worry about your money; the
Kaiser will take all you have and then
make you work to earn more for him.
Thus far the United States has never
lost war and the United States Gov.
ernment has never failed to pay back
n full every dollar II ever borrowed
on bonds.
9. Suppose buy Bonds and am later In
need Of money. Can I turn my
Bonds Into cash7
Easily. Any bank or broker will be
glad to sell them for you. Any bank
will be glad to lend. you money on
your Liberty Bonds, for they are the
safest collateral in the world.
Q. u I sell my Bonds, will I get as much
as paid for them1
United States Government Bonds
seldom sell below par--that is, the
/, p'1ce you pay for them, the face value
Many times they go above par, so that
you can sell them at u profit.
10, Where can I buy them2
At any bank or bond house and al
some department stores. Ask your
banker or your broker.
II. Do pay a commission to the banl
or broker7
No. Banks and brokers are glad e
do you and their Government this
service at their own expense. They
are working for their Government a,
patriotic citizens.
i2 How much will the Bonds cost msf
As much as you purchase. You car
buy a single bond for $50, 500, $500
I $1,000, just as you prefer. You car
buy ten $50 bonds or one $500 for $500

Cash Payments Hurt Hls Credit.

A story is told In the business world
Of man who, paradoxically enough,
could not get charge account In a
certain department store because he
always paid cash for his purchases at
the butchers, the grocer's, etc. Appll.
cation for an account was made at the
store in question, and in due time the
usual inquiries were made. Everything
seemed to be going along swimmingly
until II was discovered that In his
nelghborhood purchases ths-man had
always paid cash. The question i'm.
medlately came up In the mind Of the
credit man us to why the prospective
customer should want to buy dry goods
on credit when he paid ''ready money
for meat, groceries and sundries. This
coupled with the fact that the man
had never asked any store for an ac'
count before, led to his being refused
