Exerted Persuasive Power.

Roland was a native son and had taken heed of the conversations of his friends with their many relatives and friends who visited then. sn California. When a small puppy was given to him the little chap was much disappointed because Pat would not follow him about, but preferred to finger near the milk saucer. After having exhausted all his wileS to no effect. his distressed little face suddenly brightcned once more with coaNing smiles. Certain at last that he had remembered an unfaii' ing lnduccment he cried iOyful)y: Come ou, Pat! Come on down in the canyon with me--awful pretty view down there"

 New Orleans Cotton.
 New Orleans, April 30.-Heavy rains in the belt caused buying wave On the opening of the cotton market today, which resulted in a wild rise, active months gaining 95 to 1l8 points in . few minutes of trading.
 The advance continued until it amounted to 106 to 11S points. Here extremely heavy selling based on un- founded rImors of unfavorabe legis- lation caused violent break which put the active months S5 to l05 points down from the top, where they stood to 32 points above yesterdays final prices.
 In the afternoon the tone was stead fer on the denial in telegrams from Washington of the assurance of bills adverse to the market. At o'clock prices were at an net advance of 72 to 73 points.
 Cotton closed firm at an advance of to 1l2 to 116 points.

New York Cotton.

New York, April 30-Thc cotton market was extremely nervous and un- settled early today. The opening was strong at an advance of 30 to S5 points with July selling at 23.70 and October at 23.O0 on the call as result of ;tc- tive covering and fresh buying in splred by relatively firm cable, re neWed complaints of wet and cool weather, and more optimistic view of the war news. This bulge met liq- uidation by people who had carried their cotton over the break of late yesterday and there were quick re actions of 30 or 40 points after the call, accompanied by renewed talk of increased spot offerings.
 Reports that congress was being pctitioncd to close the cotton cX- change for the duration of the war, revived the fear of government regu- lation or price fixing during the mid dle of the morning. There was re newal of heavy general selling in conquence and for time the market was very weak and excited with July selling off to 24.00 and October to 24.15, or 90 tc 95 points below the early high level and 3 to 5 points net lower, Later Washington advices were reasuring, however, and the of new crop progress with prices market stcadied up during the mid dle of the day on the unfavorablc view of new crop progress with prices showing rallies of 70 to 75 points from the lowest.
 Trading was comparatively quiet during tine early afternoon and the market ruled steady around 25.50 for July and 24.80 for October or about '6C to 70 points net higher. Southern spot markets officially reported early were nominally unchanged.
 Cotton closed strong.

Cliff and Cave pwet1ers.

The cliff dwellers knsw nothing of the use of metals. Their knives were made from the bores of the deer, high 1y polished and very sharp. Their household utensils consisted of pottery jars and casks made of fiber and GOV cred with substance resembling moo- ern varnish. Although. the earliest cliff dwellers were prehistoric, cave livers have existed in almost every age of the world The ancient Horites derived their name from their prac. tice of living in caverns and suhter. rauean abodes.

Chicago Grain.

Chicago, April 30.--Forccast of war mcr weather likely tc facilitate plant ing gave some advantage today to bears in the corn market. Continued rains, however. tended to keep prices unsettled. Opening quotations, which ranged from the same as yesterdays finish to 1Sc lower, with May l.27 3-S and July 1.49 1-2 to 40 3-4, were fol- lowed by moderate upturn, and then a sag lever than before.
 Word that cargo of Argentine corn had arrived at New York counted subsequently, as a depressing force, the effect of which was greatly in creased bv a renewel of peace gossip The close was nervous, l-8c to l 5-Sc net lower, with May 1.27 IA and July 1 AS Is to 1.4S IA.
 Oats weakened with corn. After opening unchanged to 14c lower, with May 70 ? to 79 3-4, the market fluct uated rapidly but for the most part under yesterdays finish.
 Pork continued to show extreme weakness as a result of liquidation by holders. Offerings of lard and ribs were scarce, and both commodities scored moderate gains.
 Later weakness prevailed in lard owing more or less to announcement that hog receipts in April were the biggest on record.

Fruit Dealer Fined

Charles Patti, owner of fruit and
confectionery shop on Front street,
was fined $40 today for violation Of
food ordinance. He was charged
with selling crackers on a wheatless
day. The case was handled by Par
ish Administrator Brumby. The
money from the fine will be turned
over to the Red Cross.
Leniency was shown in PATHS case
on account of his ready confession
to the charge and the apparent doubt
as to deliberate violation. He prom
ised careful compliance in the future
Administrator Brumby stated there
were a number of cases of similar
nature pending against Berwick deal
ers. He said some evidence had been
presented showing tendency among
a few of these merchants to deliber-
ately ignore certain foOd regulations.
If this can be proven and their guilt
of actual law violation is established,
Mr.. Brumby said it was within his
power to close up ther places of busi-
ness.

that Crown Prince Rupprecht's army
has been materially decreased in
strength to rush reinforcements to
the battle zones where the German
armies in the south are being sorely
harrasssd.
Already having penetrated the Pi-
cardy salient to a depth of nearly
thirteen miles in the center toward
the vicinity Of the important railroad
junction of Chaulnes and at points
along the front, pushed forward be-
tween five and seven miles, the north
ern and southern flanks of the battle
front, where the Germans had been
resisting desperately, gave way be-
fore the pressure respectively of the
British and French.
On the north the British cap
tured Montdidier, Pierrepont, Cen
toir and Arvillers were taken by the
French, who drove in their wedge to
distance of more than eight and
one-half miles.
The tanks( armored cars and cav
airy are still working throughout the
entire region, while airplanes are
soaring far behind the lines, bomb
ing transport and troop movements,
and also paying particular attention
to the bridges over the Somme by
which the enemy is endeavoring to
escape from their advancing foes.
All behind the line the Germans are
destroying ammunition depots as
they quit their positions.
