MARKET RECOVERS
 IN SHARP BULGE
Prices Advance a Cent Pound Over Monday Low Level-Re- ports of Increased Demand Brought in Active Covering.

New York, Oct. 30.-There was very sharp recovery in the cotton mar ket today with prices selling l cent or more above yesterdays low level. Re ports of an increased demand from foreign and domestic trade sources, combined with renewed anxiety over the crop outlook, brought in active covering by recent sellers on the ad- vance which carried January con- tracts up to 2693, or 93 points above last nights close That delivery closed at 26.88, with the general list closing firm at a net advance of 70 to 95 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 12 to 16 points on the unfav- orable weather maps. Liverpool and New Orleans buying. The reactionary or bearish sentiment of yesterday was still in evidence and early fluctuations were irregular, but after sagging off few points, prices firmed up on the ! bullish average of spot and crop news. Trade interests were good buyers, par ticularly of December and January, while the selling was much less active and aggressive after the reactions of some $S per bale from recent high lev els. The detailed weather reports showing minimum temperatures of 10 ! to 19 degrees in Oklahoma and ab- normally low temperatures in Texas served to stimulate the buying, as it was apprehended that the cold wave might follow the general rains shown east of the river and cause a further scaling down of crop estimates. Clos ing prices were within or points of the best.

How Eiaqs Are Made.

The many thousands of stars used
on Old Glory each year are cut out by
a cutting machine, which manages the
eight different sizes needed. The stars
on the reverse are simply pieces of
cloth basted to the blue field. An Ope-
atOr using "zigzag" machine stitches
around the edge of the star, which has
been cut out by machine +; this makes
star pattern on the piece of cloth
basted on the reverse, and the excess
material is cut with scissors by
trimmer" These vary in dimensions
from IA inches in diapeter down to
inches. But of all the flags of the

About Cousins,

The children of brothers are called
cousins, cousins german and first or
full cousins. Often, however, the
term second cousin is loosely applied
to the son or daughter of cousin ger
man, more properly called a first
cousin once removed. A first cousin
once removed is lie first cousins
child; first cousin twice removed is
the grandchild of ones first cousin; a
second cousin once removed is the
child of ones second cousin. A first
cousin once removed is sometimes
called a second cousin, followed by
third, fourth, etc. The relation of an
individual to his fathers cousin is that
of first cousin once removed, and
his relation to his fathers COUSINS
child is that of first cousin twice re-
moved, or third cousin.

the gathering of the K. c. War
Fund report that the $500 allotment
was oversubscribed total of $3.50.

the fund and came across in a
handsome manner.

making a grand total of $3.50 or
$3.50 more than the allotment for
these pisces.
