LAWRY GIVES MUCH PROMISE
Manager Connie Mack Expects Young
ster to Eventually Develop Into
Second Collins.

Little is heard of a youngster picked
up by Connie Mack last year of the
name of Lawry. He joined the club
in June, but got away to a slow start
because of an injured leg, breaking
into the lineup at stated intervals.
Lawry looks too slight of stature to
stand the strain of the majors, yet we
have Connie Mack's word for it that
Lawry has great promise and may
eventually develop into a second Eddie

PRIDE IN COLTS AND HORSES
Farmer Can Well Afford to Feed and
Care FOR Young Animals to At
tract Buyers.

(By W. L. BLIZZARD, Department OF
Animal Husbandry, Oklahoma A. and
M. College, Stillwater.)
Every farmer should have a pride in
the colts and horses he raises. If the
packer and brewer can afford to pay
fancy prices for flashy geldings largely
for advertising purposes, the farmer
can well afford to feed and care for his
young colts in such a way that they
will be attractive to these buyers.
In fact, every farmer should be am
bilious, not only to raise the best
crops, but also to produce the best
stock of all kinds. If he has the best
teams in the neighborhood, they will

REDUCE FERTILITY OF FARM
Raising Of Grade Steers Is Easier
Than Growing Grain-Leis Care
for the Farmer.

1t Is known that grain-ra,sing re.
duces the fertility of the farm in
much greater degree than the raising
of stock.
The raising of grade steers is easier
work and less care for the average
farmer now that reliable farm labor is
becoming so difficult to obtain.

MISTAKE CAUSED A RIOT
All soVerelgns Looked Alike to the
Governors Little Servant;

ROme.-Strangely enough. there was
a city In Italy where II flag was hoisted
half staif on the projects residence
as sign OF mourning for the death OF
Emperor Francis Joseph. This city
was Ascoli Piceno In the Marches,
where the project, or governor. is one
OF the most intelligent and patriotic
officials Ia Italy. one who advocated
Italy's war against Austria from the
very beginning and sent his two sons
TO the front. where one OF them was
killed

tary enemy. Francis Joseph. and yet
his palace was the only building I'm

post. too. aud Il took him some time
TO justify himself and explain the mis-
take. Because. OF course. it was all a
mistake. and this Is how II happened:
Early one morning telegram
reached the project from Rome with
the news OF the emperor OF Austrla's |
death. The telegram was given 90 the
projects servant. or Office boy, to file. /
and as Office boys all the world over I
are generally very smart this particu-
lar office boy when he read the tele-

The project WAS busy at his desk.

rade With the
Neutrals Doubled
In War Period
Exports in 1917 Worth 81, 252..
100000. Against $l.06i,-
100000 in 1914

Exports from the United States TO
the neutral world have doubled since
the beginning o. the war and TO the
belligerent world have trebled. A COM
pilation by the National City Bank Of
New York shows that exports to the
neutral sections Of the world ether
than those OF Europe were. In the
fiscal year 1917, 1888, o00, 900, sgainst
ss77,0oo,o00 in the fiscal year 1914. To
neutral Europe the total for 1917 was
Hi4,ooo,ooo, against sls4,oooooO in
1914. Thi. makes the total exports to
the entire neutral world, European and
non-European, in 1917, s2,252 900 1000.
against Sl,06l 100000 in 1914. and &c
belligerent Europe in 1917 s4.0I2 ,000,-
600. against 81 1904, 100000 in 1914. The
increase in exports TO the non-Euro-
pesn world is 10 per cent, to the en-
tire neutral world 1l2 per cent and to
the belligerent countries Of Europe 2l0
per cent.
The increase to the non-Europesn
world occurs in practically all the coun-
tries and grand divisions. To South
America the total was, in 1917. $780,
100000. against Sl25 ,000,0 900 in 1914; to
Asia. exclusive of the merchandise sent
TO Vladivostok for European Russia,
s250,000, 900, against S1l3,0o0,o0o in
1914; to Africa. s53,OO0,0O0, against
s2s 100000; TO 0ceania, S1l1,000.0 900,
against ssI,00o,oo0, and to our North
American neighbors Sl,l64 100000 in
1917. against $4,000, 900 in 1914.
The chief gains in this expectation
to tho neutral countries outside Of Eu-
rope occur in the trade with Canada.
Mexico. Cuba. Argentina, Brazil, Chile,
China Japan and India.
These countries have increased their
purchases from the United States
largely by reason Of the difficulty OF
obtaining merchandise from Europe,
upon which they chiefly relied in the
past. South American, for example,
drew from Germany about sl76, 100000
worth of imports In the year before the
war. and from Austria-Hungary about
$40 1000, 900 worth, for which she must
now look TO other countries. while
South American imports from Great
Britain, which amounted to approx
mately $3.50, 900 900 in the year before
the war, ana tnose rom rfahCe W aP'

In d ustrials
Cotton

Extreme weakness marked the trad
,np in cotton yesterday. From start
to finish tho market was under the
heaviest pressure 1t has experienced IN
,ome weeks and at the close prices
were from 90 to ll3 points lower than
Fridays close, or little over 20
per bale decline. The break started
with reports Of heavy rains In sections
Of Texas which had been suffering
most from drouth. Over an inch OF
rain fell at a number OF places in CEN
trial and southwest Texas, greatly i'm
proving the nature Of crop advices
from that section of the belt and more
than ofsetting unfavorable reports
from other sections Of the Southeast,
where the crop was said to be deteri-
Grating from the effects OF too much
rain.
All deliveries up TO March declined
under the 81 cent level and for a time
there was considerable buying AROUND
that figure, but disquieting reports
from Wall Street, together with heavy
selling from that quarter and the
weakness Of the stock market, pre-
vented any material rally. and at the
close, while prices were shade up
from the lowest, the feeling was un-
settled, with offerings still heavy on al
upturns. The break was shared with
Southern spot markets, which came
generally from 10 to l25 points lower
but with small sales, except in the case
of Houston, where ll,45l bales changed
hands at the lower level
Heavy Liverpool selling early in the
session caused lot of stop loss selIlng
by local traders.
Among the heaviest sellers were
brokers operating for Western IN
terests which had bought some time
ago at higher levels. 1t was also said
that some Of the leading spot interests
which had sold after the government
report were again selling yesterday on
the decline. The same was true OF
some of the New England mill people.
Southern selling, while considerably IN
evidence during the day, was not so
liberal as many had expected 10 see
after the holidays. One OF the large
local spot firms said it had bought
cotton on call during the day and sold
hodges, the latter much exceeding the
covering on call.
1t was reported by spot interests
that there was a good demand IN the
South for spots owing to the weather
and lateness Of the crop, but that
should the movement become flee IT
