W. c. T. U.

A very timely meeting was held yesterday afternoon with Mrs. w. A. McMillan, it's object being the CO., operation with the Red Cross Society in its relief work.
 A splendid program on different phases of W. c. T. U. relief work was rendered, which proved very definitely that this organization is not new at the busisness of training and caring for the young people of this nation, that they might make efficient sol diers in case of wsr, and stalwart citi- zens in time of peace.
 A communication from the national president, Miss Anna Gordon, was read in which she expressed desire that motor ambulance, floating our White Ribbon emblem beside our glorious flag, might be presented to France. "Such an ambulance" she said, with it's blessed ministries to the wounded and suffering would em- phasize in a peculiar and powerful way the mother-love of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union."
 Miss Gordon "Affectionately en- treats all members of the w. C. T. U. to interest their friends outside, as we'll as inside our ranks, men as well as women, in speedily raising the necessary $1,60000 to equip and transport to France this motor ambu- lance and pay it's upkeep for year" Who will help? Thanks to those con tributors of yesterday, but we would appreciate others.
 We were glad to have as visitors Mrs. Noland, Mrs. Floyd Denman, Mrs. Joe Hamilton, Mrs. Haynie and Mrs. Reichstadt-th two last named casting their lots with the Union.
 A meeting was appointed for Tues day afternoon at 3 o'clock at the park, to which all clubs, church societies and all the good women who belong to no organization, are not only in- vited. but urged to be present.
 Let all the young people be there. There is much they can do. Next meeting of the Union will be with Mrs. Jno. M. Pittman.-Reporter.

COTTON ADVANCES
AFTER EASY START
Early Drop, Caused by Liquida-
tion on Lower Cables, Is Off
set by Renewed Demand
NEW YORK. June 10.


sharp drop in Liverpool cables before
the local opening caused declines Of to
% points in first cotton prices this morn
ing, but these were quickly recovered and
at the end Of the first ten minutes the mar
ket was selling about 10 points over the
previous close.
The absence Of any broad speculative
trade was seen in the wide range of
fluctuations between sales in some cases OF
to 10 points.
Liquidation on the opening call was fol-
lowed by a renewal OF Irade buying and
a demand from a New Orleans interest,
which, meeting a sudden scarcity OF calls,
had a very strong effect on the market.
The weather was generally favorable
over the belt although lower temperatures
are looked for in the southwest in day
or two.
The early advance carried active months
33 to SO points net higher with all positions
making new high records for the season.
July contracts sold up to 1925 and october
to 24.7O, while March deliveries sold at
2512.
Contracts were scarce on this advance
