WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE White

fraglsts. II was placed in the be
leaguered state in the morning under
the new silent sentiment campaign
begun by the Congressional Union
for Woman Suffrage as an outgrowth
OF the failure Of President Wilson
to declare in favor OF the proposed
Federal suffrage amendment when he
received a delegation OF 800 suffragist
leaders at the White House yester-
day.

that the stationlng OF these pickets

MINUTES OF TEACHERS
 MEETING.

The White County Teachers met at Armstrong Springs September 1,1917. The meeting was called to order by the President, MT. G. O. Yingling. :.
 The first number on the program was America, sung by the Associa- ton. The welcome address was given by Dr.. Bogard, followed by the re- sponse from Mir. McCluster, after which the regular program was taken up.
 The minutes of the last meeting were adopted as read. l, Miss Black and MT. Kempner dis cussed," Should the Teachers Perform the Functions of the County Demon strator Interesting talks were giv- en by others on the same subject. A short talk on Cooperation of the Teachers with the Government in l the Conservation of Food" was given by Miss Beulah Majors; as this is a subject of great importance just now some time was given for general dis cussion which proved to be very inter- esting.
 Those present then enjoyed a "Dutch" song by the little" Misses Bogard.
 The paper read by Miss Mollie Da- wis, Thrift, Its Relation to the Schools" brought out some good | points on club work. The last thirty minutes before noon | was given for general discussion on
 any subject but nose of the time was spent on "How to Keep the Boys on the Farm," and High prices of Farm Produce being beneficial to the Far mer." The directors as we'll as the
 teachers gave some good ideas on
 these topics.
 1 Everyone present was then invited to an arbor nearby where the ladies
 of Armstrong Springs served a boun-
 teous dinner.
 At two o'clock the meeting was
 called to order.
 A very important subject was then
 taken up, "Do Local Conditions justi- fy the Vaccination of Children on en-
 tering Public Schools ?" "Yes," Dr.. l Jelks, "No," Mir. J. D. Brandon. A
 large crowd was present to hear this debate but on account of the erron- eous idea so many people had of the results of vaccination, there was no de- bate but they each made clear to the public the duties of the Health Off cer and results of schools that did not vaccinate against disease.
 Prof. Henry then took up the same subject, also Duties of Teacher and Director" Compulsory School Law" and "Uniformity of School Books"
 So much time was taken up by these important subjects that MT. AL dridge gave very brief but interest ing talk on, "The Effects of Selective Draft on Public Schools"
 The talk given by Miss Irene Jones on "The Place of Patriotism in the Public School" was short but elo-, quent; among other interesting things she said, "How can parents expect obedience from their children Ii they themselves disobey the laws ?"
 The last subject, "Shouid the Bible have place in the Public Schools %, was omitted on account of the absence of MT. J. A. Roberts but it was agreed upon that this very important topic should have had first place on the pro- gram.
 Judsonia was then chosen for the next meeting of the White County Teachers Association in December and a committee consisting of Miss Gela Brandon, Miss Faust and Prof. Henry was appointed for the follow ing resolutions which were read and

session today the cotton market fell off sharply in the afternoon under the re- port of a move by the government to take control of railroads. Although any thing that will tend to improve the transportation facilities of the country can hardly be called a bearish influence for cotton, the trade followed the lead of Wall street and the New York mar kets as in the case of President Wilson's message to Congress and sold the mar ket off.
 According to the temper shown by the market in early trading, it was ready to advance again, but a bearish twist is given to each and every new feature that develops and the selling of the aft ernoon was more than the market could absorb. After a decline of 3 to points on opening, there was a strong upward movement which eventually put prices 48 to 51 points over yesterdays close. The break pared down the advance to couple of points. The early buying resulted from the recognition of bullish features in the Presidents message and also from realization of the fact that while ginning has been heavy of late. the total of the season is still under that of the two last years to this time. Also. the strength of spots could not be de- nied. It is the one great stumbling block in the way of bearish endeavor. Until spots weaken we do not believe permanent decline can be brought about. The close was at a net gain of 16 to S2 points.-Shepard & Gluek.

STOCK LIST CLOSES

Probable Government Ac- tion in Operating Railroads
 Stimulates Market

New York, December 5.-Second only in importance to the Presidents stirring address to Congress yesterday and even more potent as market stimulant was the report submitted to that body today by the interstate commerce com mission bearing vitally upon the future of the railroads of this country.
 It is yet too early to forecast even to an approximate degree the effect of the commerce comm issions recomenda tions, lowing the publication of the report left no doubt of it's immediate signifi- canoe Rails were little more than ir- regular during the first half of the ses- sion, with new low record for St. Paul preferred at 6S. Early reports from Washington were rather conflicting, but the first intimation of the proposed suspension of the Sherman law resulted in rebound in which prices were car ried to almost points above lowest levels.
 Industrials and the entire war list as well as shippings, coppers and speciaiLies shared in the advance, United States, for example, rallied from it's low of S6s4 to 897s, with corresponding gains else where. Decided strength ruled at the very active close
 The news from Washington was espe- cially timely by reason of additional unfavorable settlement of railway earn ings Money rates were relatively easy, but time funds were in smaller supply.

New York Futuf s
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans December 5-The local cotton market was more of two-sided affair today than for several sessions past, buIlish sentiment causing moder~ ately wide gains, although there were periods of depression due to aggressive selling. The trade was inclined to place more favorable construction on President Wilson's message than was the case yesterday and much of the buying resulted from this change of view.
 On the opening the most active months were 3 to 5 points off, but ef- fective support was offered immediately after the first call and prices made a quick response. On a very steady tone values were lifted to 8 net rise of 4s to 51 points. In the early afternoon sharp break followed the report that the interstate commerce commission had recommended that the government assume control of the railroads during the remainder of the war. The advance was pared down until prices were only ? points above yesterdays close To- ward the end of the day the bulls pointed out that anything which would work for solution of transportation difficulties would be bullish factor in the cotton situation, no matter how it might affect other markets and buying resulted, the close showing a net gain of IS to 32 points,

GRAIN ADVANCED
 WITH PROVISIONS Packers in Market for Pro- visions, Which Were Re-
 ported as Scarce

Chicago, December 5-Corn advanced in price today owing more or less to persistent smallness of receipts, despite announcements of a better supply of railway cars. The market closed firm 9sc to 1c net higher, with January $1.21ss and May $1.191a to $1.195s. Oats gained 1%c to 1Ac and provisions soc to s1.
 Notwithstanding that a slight ten -dency to sag was noticeable at the out set in the corn market, prospects of new price fixing legislation appeared to have lost force as an element of de- pression. Unfillment of hopes that ar rivals would materially increase and that rural offerings would broaden out led soon to hardening of values, and there was decided further display of bullish sentiment after rise in the oats market to fresh high price records for the season. The scarcity of corn avail able for immediate delivery was empha- sized by an advance of 5 to 10 cents, being quoted for new crop supplies.
 Bulges in the price of oats resulted chiefly from the fact that stocks here were meager and receipts disappoint- ing in volume, although current reports told of improved freight facilities.
 Buying attributed to packers hoisted provisions to the maximum of the days limit. Offerings were scarce on the way up. Hog receipts compared unfavorably with last years totals.
