The emergency hospital is badly in
need of graduate nurses. One of the
women in charge down there said last
night that patients were dying for the
care of graduate nurses while many
of those in town who are good nurses
and could be of great assistance were
waiting at home for their calls to so
overseas. They say this work is too
called to France, when there could
not possibly be greater need for
them than right here at home. Six of
these graduate nurses were called last
night and all weer either too delicate
to do this kind of work or had some
other excuse which was not accepted
as such by those in charge of the hos
pital Where there are seventy-five pa
tients and only three graduate nurses.
Ordinarily that many patients would
require at least twenty-five nurses.
Two of the capable nurses who are at
home waiting for overseas service said
when called last night that they were
afraid they would catch something
down there.
Mrs. Charles Thomas is at the head
of the work at the emergency hos
pital and the trained nurses who are
giving their services are Mrs. Hinkle
NJ. Guy, SEho works from early morn
ing until late at night; Mrs. Eaton,
who is in charge at night, and Miss
Dutton. There are at least twelve
other graduate nurses in town who
could give their services.
Two first aid workers who have
been there every day and have proven
very capable are Miss Huber and Miss
McMann, who took the first course
in first aid and home nursing which
was offered in Topeka.

The Revival Continues

The citizens of Carthage have
been having a great opportunity
for the past two weeks in the
preaching of Evangelist John G.
Patty and the singing of Thomas
B. Roddy. 1t is seldom that
such a strong combination in
evangelistic work is formed as in
the association of Patty and
Roddy. Large crowds have
been in attendance and up to
date there have been several
conversions and reclaimations.
Many of the services have been
unusual for the great demonstra-
ton of power among the Chris
tians. The church going people
of Carthage are certainly receiv-
ing a great blessing, while the
stay-at-homes are loosing a
bountiful feast of good things.
The revival will in all proba.
bility come to a close next Sun
day night. While the meeting
has been held in the Methodist
Church, the congregations OF
other churches have been in con.
slant attendance upon all ser.
vices, and there has been a fel.
lowship of denominations that is
both brotherly and Christian anC
shows a united Spirit to fight sir
and the devil.

Over W. F. Campbelrs Wire

New Orleans, July 12-The Texas drouth was again the mainstay of the cotton market, sustaining 1t in the face of bear ish sentiment. In the early trading there were the usual private reports of rains here and there in the west, but later in the session the opinion gained ground that the official returns were safer to go by. The weather map was dry in the western belt, the detailed reports in- dicated that practically no rain had fallen in the drouthy area and the fore cast called for continued dry weather.
 After decline of to 9 points around the opening, the market recovered and went % to 32 points above the level of yesterdays close. Straddle trading be- tween October and December caused ir- regularity, and in the early afternoon days close, while the early decline on October was not widened.
 The drop of 20 points in Dallas spot pttces yesterday caused some selling. as did also the national ginner's forecast of 57O.00o bales as the consumption of cotton in this country during June, as against 574000 during the same month last year. Should the census bureau re- port due Monday, confirm this estimate we would not regard 1t as bearish in view of the labor troubles which are hampering mills.
 The immediate course of the market depends more on the weather than any other factor and we do not see how prices can be permanently depressed while Texas suffers for want of moisture. -Shephard 6 Gluck.

CORN ADVANCED ON
 MILLERS' DEMAND
Oats and Provisions Were in Full Sympathy With
 Corn and Went Up

Chicago. July 12.-Keen demand from millers. together with prospects of cur tailed receipts, made corn rise today, but material setback ensued after an- nouncement that President Wilson had begun drafting a veto of the bill to in- crease the government guaranteed price of wheat The close was nervous. 1&@ 2A net higher, with August $l.6lla@ 16lss and September s16l@1.6lls. Oats gained E to 1Bc, and provisions 5@1Oc.
 Eagerness to buy corn seemed to be based largely on the fear that the bill to establish $40 as the minimum price of wheat would automatically become a law. and in such case. according to some authortiesf the cost of wheat flour would be virtually prohibitive for ordi- nary consumers. The view seemed logical that the use of substitutes. especially corn, must broaden out big. Scarcity of good grades of corn and the fancy prices being paid for them tended also to create bullish sentiment, until defi- mite knowledge was obtained of the forthcoming veto and of d likelihood that attempts to override the veto would fail.
 Oats rose with corn, but was bearishly affected later both by veto news and by rains over western Canada
 Strength in provisions resulted from the advance of hogs and grain.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cottnn

New Orleans, July 12.-The cotton mar ket was nervous and unsettled today as the result. of conflicting opinions regard ing weather conditions in the western belt. Some irregularity developed also because of straddle operations between October and December. On the close prices were s points lower to 6 points higher than the final quotations of yes terday.
 Around the opening the market was 6 to IS points down, but this small decline was quickly replaced by an advance which finally amounted to 9 to 32 points, compared with the close of yesterday This was due to buying based on the dry weather map, in the western belt, and the forecast of more to come. Private fe. ports of rains in Texas caused renewed selling under which the market fell off until December was 19 points down net October Was sustained by purcha sas against sales of December on the theory that the premium on the earlier month was bound to increase.
 Bearish sentiment was increased by a private bureau report, which put the av- craze percentage Of the whole crop at S5.9. against S6.5 a fortnight ago, and forecast of June consumption in th.s country a. 57o.0o0 bales, against 574,00O in June last year.

WEATHER OUTLOOK
 CAUSES REACTION
General Cotton List Closed Barely Steady at Decline
 of s to "A Points

New York, July 12.-A further advance
 on the southwestern drouth complaints
 was followed by reactions in the cotton market today. October sold off Tram
 2i99c to 24.G0c and closed at 24.s5c. with
 the general list closing barely steady at
 a net decline of to 4 points. There
 was renewal of yesterdays buvine
 movement at the start. July opened at
 decline of points, but other months were to points higher and July stiff
 fened up to 27.sSc. or points above last
 nights close in the absence of notices.
 New crop deliveries sold IS to 9e noints net higher, with December touchine- 9A 41c
 With buying promoted by the western
 beit forecast for partly cloudy to clear
 weather in Texas. There were some pri
 vate reports of showers in the south
 west, with selling on the advance, and
 the market Was easier during the after noon ur@or realizing for over the week end. The detailed weather report for the Houston district showed no precipita ton Of consequence, with tempera lures
 of 100 or over at 2 stations, but failed to bring in any fresh buying of note. Prices reached the lowest levels of the day in the late trading. with July selling at 21c and December at 24oic, and closed at about the low point of the day on most positions. Reports that few bales
 were beginning to show up in extreme south Texas may possibly have been a ractor on the setback, and there ap- peared to be a feeling around the ring that the crop was doing fairly well ex- eept for parts of the southwest The more urgent demand from shorts ap- peared to have been supplied on the early advance and some brokers attributed the reaction to an easier technical position
 rather than to any fresh news feature of consequence.

WEEKLY COTTON

New York, July 12.-Conflicting wealth. CT and crop advices have been consid- cred largely responsible for tho ruling of the cotton market during the past week. Other factors have attracted con- siderable discussion around the ring, but have not remained long in evidence and the trades attention has evidently cen tered on the new crops progress, par ticularly in tho southwest Many com plaints of deterioration have been re- ceived from Texas applying chiefly to central or western sections of that state where the weather has remained dry with renewal of high Temperatures. The sit- uation in this respect has tended to re- strict selling on the more favorable re- ports fiom other parts of the belt and at times there has been market scare ity of contracts. This has rendered the market sensitive to covering or moderate buying orders from other sources and after rather sharp early week break prices ruled generally steady. The off, hcial announcement of price fixing in the goods trades led to considerable sell ing on Tuesday. The prices mentioned were the sane as those outlined in un- official advi.es during the previous week. but showing a decline of about 9 to 90 per cent as compared with recent mar
 
 lset Quotations evidently made a bearish .trst impression on sentiment Later. however people who had sold on the an- nouncement were credited with covering or a theory that the government action would control the parity between goods and raw cotton rather than Influence
 aw material values. Reports from New Orleans that bankers and cotton inter ests in conference there would urge the formation of government corporation ta buy surplus offerings of cotton at prices to be fixed by the President, attracted considerable attention Some thought they reflected nervousness over the pros pect of rapidly accommodating new crop supplies. but selling on that theory was restricted bv the continued absence Of spot pressure or of any important hedg ng against prospective yields New bales are beginning to appear at few points in extreme south Texas. Private returns are said to indicate a mid
 onth condition of S5.5 or S5.9, allowing for a deterioration of about points 1T Texas, with the same authority esti- mating domestic mill consumption for June at 5O7, 900 bales against 5140Oo last year

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, July 12.-Conditions do not change; only a few scattered light show CTS in northern Texas. while the cen tral portion of the state needs rain. The market under such conditions. the crop doing well elsewhere than that section of Texas, remains subject to the scat .nred o~aers which represent the minor transa ctions of the trade. As we have ,ia4ed out the attention of everyone is centerec upon the possibility of another 1ieaster to the growing crop, which IS being watched more closely than in many vea~s.
