 New York Cotton.
 New York. April 25.~-Thcrc was renewed activity and heavy selling in the cotton market early today. Noth- | ing further was heard regarding the increased offerings of spots and re selling by exporters, rumors of which | had unsettled sentiment late yestcr- day. There were May notices issued for between 10000 and 12,000 bales, however, Liverpool more than met yesterdays local break, and the open ! ing here was regular at a decline of 10 to 65 points under the continued liquidation May showed thet maxi mum loss at the start, selling at 27.15 on the call, while little later July broke to 27.05, making declines of 60 to 65 points on the old crop posi- tions. Selling of new crop months have been held in check to some extent by yesterdays less favorable crop advices, but October broke to 26.30 or 35 points net lower. Liver pool was heavy early seller. Much of the buying on the decline was at tributed to covering by Wall street and Western shorts.
 Many messages were received from the South denying rumors of ncreas ed spot offerings, but rallies of 15 to 20 points met pressure from one source or another and the market was very weak late in the morning. July sold to 26.70 and October at 25.9O i with active months generally showing net losses of about 75 to 105 points.
 Trade buying of July and October gave the market rather steadicl tone during the noon hour, but there was scattered Southern selling of July, supposedly against actual spot and prices broke again during the af ternoon. New low ground was reach ed by all deliveries with July selling at 2617 and October at 25.55, or 110 to 148 points net lower.
 The cotton market closed weak at the lowest of the day, showing net loss of $5 to $9 with July at .26 cents and October at 2555. Fears of possi- ble price fixing also had an effect in the late afternoon.
 President Shut of the cotton ex change today notified members that the board of managers would regarc with "extreme disfavor" any actior tending to cause unnecessary and ex treme variations in the price of cot ton.

Small Farm Owner May Secure Aie
 From Farm Lean Board.

The Federal Farm Loan Board has issued the following rules for the guid- ance of the land banks in determining what area constitutes a farm for loan ing purposes:
 { First. Generaly.-T'ae farm must be of sufficient area to yield. at the hands of an ordinarily capable farmer, putting it to use to which it is gen. erally adapted and using average methods, an income sufficient to main tain the family of the applicant and discharge the interest and amortiza- tion payments.
 Second. Specially.-Where thorough intensive farming or. the practice of a speciality sufficient income has been regularly derived from a tract defi- cient in area for ordinary farming. or where the application of the pros pective borrower shows that, he is by experience capable of producing such income from such a tract such area may be accepted as sufficient. pro- vided the land has a stable and per manent market value sufficient to war rant the loan applied for. This ruling does not apply to fruit and orchard lands which have already been the subjects of definite rulings by this board"
 Under. the first paragraph of this ruling loans may be made to the or dinary farmer on the basis of average skill and efficiency, and no tract of land will be accepted as farm eli gfble for loan under the Federal farm loan act unless it is large enough to support the family and take care of the loar under the. average farm con ditions of the neighborhood.
 But under the second paragraph of the ruling the intensive farmer or the man who practices profitable spec ialty, or who shows himself able. to Irdo so. will be given financial support 1 by, the Federal Form Loan System even though his farm may be too small for ordinary farming purposes, pro- vided that the land quite apart from
 it's use has a stable and permanent
 land value which will make the loaE
 safe whether it is well operated, or
 badly operated, or not operated at all

First Gas Masks Made by Women oi
 EnaIand and France.

The use of gas in warfare dates back 'to about 400 B. C. The Spartans saturated wood with pitch and sulpher and burned it under the walls of cities which they were attacking. For sev- eral centuries gas has not been used in warfare. and The Hague convention definitely ruled against it. However, on April P. 1915. the Germans libera- ted great clouds of gas against Canadian troops near Ypres. Terrible destruction and demoralization re- suited from this first gas atteck, and within a week England was making plans for gas warfare against the Germans.
 Soon after the first German gas atr tack English and French women sent to the front hundreds of thousands of homemade gas masks. For the most part they were merely bandages i'm pregnated with chemicals to wrap around the mouth and nose These emergency masks saved many lives but afforded only limited protection.

 Interest Boys and Girls.
 An important feature of the work can be. the organization of boys and girls garden clubs. separate from the adults In banding together the young folks to help in the campaign for more food. assistance may be ob- tained from the State Relations Ser vice of the United States Department of Agriculture in cooperation with the Sta-e agricultural colleges. It is re- garded as important that the boys and girls be interested for many of the light tasks of gardening can be per-
