This year, however, Omaha's social
leaders, and, incidentally, our prom
inent men-folks, will be found at the
race track in force The Red Cross
is making fifty girls and women Of
the most exclusive families fixtures
at the speedway so long as the crowd
remains. Clad in their cool white
garments, which are finding SO much
use this year, and wearing flowing
Red Cross caps and wells, they will
be omnipresent. Where the automo-
biles are parked back of the judges
stand inside the rows of pits, you
who sit in the grand stand, may see
Mrs. Charles T. Kountze and ten
young women helpers busily plying a
trade in sandwiches, ice cream, cigars
and chewing gum.
For the benefit Of the Red Cross
they are hoping that everyone will
come hungry and without any sup
plies of cigars and gum, for otherwise,
what will their sales be? Such hosts
of committees as have been appointed
for the occasion you never did see!
They are all working at some very
important part of the preparations,
but just what each has to do, we
challenge you to remember. Mrs.

BUYING MOVEMENT
 ON COTTON MARKET
Last Prices Were Steady at a Net Gain of 62 to S2
 Points

New York March 19.-Increasing anx- iety over the new crop outlook seemed responsible for an active buying move ment in the cotton market today and de- mand became more urgent following ru- nors of revolution in Germany. Late months led the advance with october selling up to 17.95c, or S3 points net high CT. while May touched 1S.52c, or CT points above the close of Saturday. Last prices showed reactions of or 9 points from the best but were very steady at a net gain of 62 to g. points.
 The market opened Steady at an ad- vance of g to 15 points in response to relatively firm cables and on the settle ment of the railroad troubles People who had bought toward the end of last week in anticipation that the strike would be averted took profits around the initial figures, while the influences of the cables was modified 10 some extent by reports that Liverpool had been affected by high CT freight and marine war risks. Prices eased off during the first few minutes in consequence, working back to about saturdays closing figures with May sell hlg at 17S5c and October at 17.15c. Liv- erpool was a good buyer on this decline and the market soon turned firmer on numerous complaints Of delayed farm work and trade buying of both old and new crop months. Demand became more active as prices worked higher and it was reported around the ring that some of the spot house buying of October was LOT mill account. Stop ofuerS were uncov- cred and the market was excited late ir the afternoon with active months selling 61 to S3 points net higher just before the close. Private cables from Liverpool re- ported a more optimistic view of political conditions, and while there appeared to be no definite basis for the rumors of a revolution in Germany, the talk of this sort evidently made a considerable inn pression on sentiment during the last hour. The sinking of three American ves- sels may have contributed to the early nervousness, but was not much com mented upon as a market factor and the attention of the trade seemed to be di- vided between the bullish view of the new crop start and the hope of a better peace outlet in Europe.

cover w. D. Campbells private wiTe.)
 New Orleans, March 19.-(SpeciaI) ] Higher levels were brought about in cot ton today by settlement of the railroad strike, the reports of important entente successes, the revival Of the spot demand and continued unfavorable weather over the belt, these features serving to out weigh any pessimistic feeling coming from the sinking of three American ships by German war vessels as reported in the news of over Sunday.
 The clearing of the labor situation im- mediately brought spot buyers into the market. They were willing to operate as soon as they were assured of a chance 10 move their purchases. Not only did the spot inquiry improve Ll this market, but Liverpool reported sales of 10000 Man chester, for the first time in days, sent over favorable accounts of it's yarn and cloth trade.
 The trade appears to fully recognize the gravity of the relations between this country and Germany. but long ago, arrived at the conclusion that war would not decrease the consumption of cotton. Hence. today's international situation did not create any selling pressure The weather over the belt is altogether too cold for this time of the year. In Texas the Grouth is still the most important factor in new crop work. We hear ol increased complaints of lack of labor in other portions of the cotton region. It looks like higher market
