RED CROSS THRIVES
UPON EMERGENCIES
Wonderful Efficiency Shown by
Organization in Handling
Work in France.

Emergencies are what the American
Red Cross thrives upon. The proof OF
this assertion, says Captain Ednyfed
II. williams of Chicago. who Is back
from France. is found in the way the
Red Cross is meeting the shortage Of
shipping.
Captain Williams work over there
was I'm the purchasing department OF
the Red Cross. As the space on ships
became less and less available for the
TRANSFORMATION Of Red Cross supplies,
II was necessary to buy as much ma
terial in Europe as possible.
"The Red Cross buys supplies in
France. England. and Italy, and will
do so In Spain when negotiations are
completed. because our government
needs every inch Of space on ships to
TRANSPORT troops and munitions" he
explained. Everything is bought on
n strictly business basis by men spe-
cially trained in American Industries,
working generally without pay.
sour ability to give relief to Italy
when the AuSUo-beTinuns Suuuchly
swooped down upon them last autumn
is accounted for in this policy of keep
ing our warehouses in France stocked
up. Had we sat down and waited for
the time when enough ships would
have been available to get all our
goods from America the Italians would
have suffered UNNECESSARILY and pos
sibly would not have rallied as they
did following our relief work.
Every ton of supplies we buy in
Europe makes one more ton Of space
available for the shipment from Amer
lea Of army supplies, or surgical dress
ings and other Red Cross supplies
made by American women"
CAPTAIN Williams confirms the re
ports Of all other officers who have
been TO France, that the Red Cross
has sustained the French people and
army wonderfully and that they are
ready for the trying days ahead.

BOY
SCOUTS

Scouts Of America)
THE SIZE OF SCOUT CITY"

The Boy Scouts Of America has n
membership of 295.76s boys properly
registered in 13,7S7 troops, with 49,
S13 men council members and troop
committeeman and scoutmasters.
II all the scouts and their leaders
were in one city, then Scout City"
would rank eighteenth in the United
States. This is larger than Minneapo-
lis and almost MS large as Newark or
New Orleans.
The registered boy scouts alone
could almost I'll a city ranking with
indianapolis or Kansas City, and more
than enough for st. Paul.
Counting the million or more scouts
who have received during the past
eight years the benefit of the scout
program and who have entered mans
estate, the Boy Scouts of America
could move bodily into a deserted
Cleveland and Boston and there would
be scout TO represent every man,
woman or child among the former In
habitants Of both cities, or almost
enough to fill Philadelphia.
There are 100000 boys who could
be scouts II there were men leaders
enough. When the nationwide cam
paign of the Boy Scouts of America
for scout leaders is over, II Is expect
ed that there will be room in the scout
organization for 100000 duly regis
tered boys. Scout City" then might
well be as large as Chicago. The
scouts would overrun the several
states.
The hoy power" Of this nation is a
mighty thing. The organized boyhood
Of America is one Of its greatest
forces.

Relax and Rest.

The habit Of relaxing is an excellent
one, especially just while previous
to sleeping time. for in this way one
prepares the mind and body for that

wholesome condition of body, and so

FLOODS IN IOWA
 BULL CORN MARKET
Ohio Also Reports Interfer- ence With Planting by
 Continued Rains

]. Chicago. June e.-Torrential rains in Iowa. together with resulting floods. did a great deal to bring about sharp ad- vances which took place today in the corn market. Prices closed strong, NG Ss<c net higher, with July s1S5ss@1. 5h and August $1.36ta. Oats gained A@12sc. Provisions finished unchanged to @Oc lower.
 Upturns in the value of corn came after a brief period of weakness at the start. Reports that general crop condi- tions had rarely if ever been better were chiefly responsible for initial declines. As soon, however. as dealers began to give attention to storm news from Iowa a decided change of sentiment ensued, trading broadened out and sweeping upward movement of prices followed. The advance was further stimulated by gossip that in important sections else where than Iowa. especially the Ohio valley, cultivation was being delayed by rains and that the volume of receipts was likely to be diminished by necessary field work.
 Oats developed strength with corn Bulls were encouraged likewise by activ- lty on the part of exports interests
 In provisions the effect of the grain bulge was only transient. Before the session was ended the temporary gains were more than counterbalanced by weakness of the hog market.

The rise of 13 points in spot quotations, which carried middling to 30.13c, was something of a surprise. It helped to hold July to small net advance II the late trading Throughout the day the rIxet was more or less irregular owing to stradd,e trading. and the net changes for the day were a rise of 51 points on July and losses of Y to zz points on the new crop months.

 PLAYED IN COTTON
July Went to 26.52c and Closed at 26.I7c, a Gain

New York. June 6-Trhe strength of the near position was the feature in the cot ton market again today. July contracts sold up to 26.52, making an advance of e7 joints from last nights close and of 229 points from the low level of Monday Reactions followed under realizing with that delivery closing at 26.17c, or g points net higher, while October and later deliveries were to 15 points net lower
 The market opened steady. at an ad- vance of 10 to 14 points on a renewal of the covering movement, which had been in progress yesterday. Liverpool was again a good buyer of July, to undo straddles, while domestic trade interests were credited with buying to cover hedges against spot cotton in the south. Reports of a continued demand for cot ton out of the local stock, and bullish southern spot advices contributed to the advance. which carried July about 245 points above October.
 Later deliveries were held back by the continued favorable average of weather and crop advices, but shared the near month strength to some extent with De- tober selling up to 2a99c and December to 23.53c, or 26 to 30 points net higher. At this level realizing became more active, and there were reactions during the afternoon July broke to 2590c, or about 62 points from the early high level, while October declined to 3.4sc, or 51 points from the bhst Closing prices were several points up from the lowest on renewed covering.
 There seemed to be more July for sale at 240 to 245 points over October, but the near months pre- Enium at the close was 25S points, which, local brokers re- garded as indicating the continued pres ence of short contracts for that delivery. Weather and crop news seemed to at tract very little attention, the interest of the trade centering oh the July position both here and in New Orleans. No change was reported in the ocean freight situation. There were rumors, however, that Italian buyers were in the mar ket for low grades, and that people with Japanese connections were buyers of early new crop deliveTies.

Over W. E. Campbell's Wire

New Orleans, June 6.-Wide ad- vauces were forced in cotton today, chiefly by the strength of July, which at one time was 102 points over the close of yesterday. Straddle operations continued on a large scale, July being bought against sales of October. but yond this there was disposition on the part of July shorts to cover at every opportunity because of the sit uation In this market spot prices were advanced 13 points, which put mid ding at 30.13c
 Fear of a wet spell over the belt, reports of boil weevils in several inn portant sections of the belt and the favorable tone of the war news were factors that helped the market.
 At the highest levels the new crops were 32 to B points over yesterdays final prices. In the early afternoon something of a reaction from the ad- vance occurred under profit taking from the long side and the market fell off until it was IA points over yes- terday's last prices on July and 34 to 40 points under on the new crops
 The weather map was wet in the eastern belt but dry in the western. The forecast predicted showery wealth CT in the western belt in the northern portion of Arkansas and the western portion of Texas. Should the rains con- tinue for any length of time com plaints would be inevitable for, with the scarcity of labor, farmers are not any too fast progress with cultivation and chopping even under the conditions that have prevailed.
 Again, wet weather would greatly increase boil weevil complaints While reactions are to be expected the mar ket looks higher in the end on the present situation.

 Foreign developments and the war sit uation as a whole exerted very little ef- feet at any time, these being viewed with further confidence. but domestic happen ings were a more potent factor.
 Reduction of dividends by several of the popular mining companies was not unexpected in view of the refusal Of the war board to advance copper prices, and further delay in announcing the progress of the Mercantile Marine deal occasioned no surprise.
 Rails were under partial restraint. be- cause Of the apprehension expressed by important holders of such securities re- specting the proposed powers of the d. rector general and their possible effect on guaranteed net incomes.

Cnffee Market

New York, June 6.-The market for coffee futures was easy. The advancing tendency of the past two or three days had reflected firmer ruling in Brazil and possibly uneasiness over imports. There was no real anxiety regarding shipping conditions as affected by the appearance of German submarines in American waters, however, and the mar ket today responded readily to declines in Brazil, with September selling off to S25c and December to S.SSc. The opening was to points lower, and the close showed a net loss of 14 to 16 points. Closing bids: July. So6c; September SOC; October. S.2sc; December, S.SSc; January, S. 43c; March, S.55c; May.
