first saw the sun come peeplng IN
at morn, and We remember how We
did hate to get up. When we get
that bungalow up we want Ed anti
the balance of the brethren to come
to see us, and we can go fishing fer
minnows in the brook that runs
through the valley at the foot of the
big hills, and we can get Oh one ot
them hills and have a.fine view Of the
city of Newberry. 1t is just II miles
from the city. We measured it Tues-
day.
Now, those who do not like to read
about the hooking up of III may just
skip over, but Ill did move mighty
fine on Tuesday, and we could not
help but wish that Bur Leitzsey
might have been along 80 that he
could have seen her roll. The roads
are bad. The road from Calamus
pond to Jolly Street needs dragging
bad. 1t is awful. And the road from
Newberry to Prosperity is in bad
shape, but as the road bed is to be
changed soon there is some excuse
for not dragging it. Just few hours
with the old split log drag would have
made the Jolly Street road fine, but
it wasn't used and it is anything else

help of Mr.. A. G. Leitzsey who came
along about the time we were ready
to put it on and kindly offered to help.
He did some good pumping and then

the country called. They may not
have as much money as some other

can in that regard, and their men and

there are among them yet many who
served in the last war.
To be frank, the main purpose Of

RED CROSS WAR FUND. In June,
1917, the people of this country were
asked to contribute 500, 000, 600 to the
Red Cross that it's work might be vigor-
ously prosecuted. The need was sensed
by some people of vision. That amount
was more than subscribed and it enabled
the Red Cross to do a work that in its
consequences of helping and enheartenlng
our Allies ranks second only to the army
itself. Again this society appeals for
like amount that it's work may 60 on.
Today and from now on our own army's
needs will be greatly increased. The
week of May 20 to q has been set as the
time for the raising of 500, OOO, 900.
Waldo County nobly responded last year
sending more than was assigned as its
share. This time $4,000 is expected
from our county and everyone ought to
do his and her share to put it quickly
over that amount and sustain our gOO0
reputation. The county is well organized
in Red Cross branches now and each
branch will take charge Of the work in its
own town. The War Fund committee for

By BRIGGS

as the result of Improvement in trans- portation facilities. but above every thing else. when considering the sta tistical position, we believe attention should be centered on the fact that the total visible supply of American cotton in the world is only s,2s0,349 bales vs. 3,54S.02S bales year ago, when 1t was called very small. and 3,95s,s09 two years ago. The weather map noted few light showers in south Texas and Texas messages claimed the breaking of the drouth in the Corpus Christi sec tion and rains in the river Nueces and Rio Grande sections. Surprisingly littls selling developed on these reports. The market acts healthy and is unquestion- ably in condition to respond to any new buying that may arise. Spot inter- ,ests appear very friendly to the mar ket, which is due to their intimate Knowledge of strength of spot situa- tion. We believe in buying on soft periods.
 Last prices showed net gains of 1 to 7 points SHEPARD X CHUCK.

COTTON WAS QUIET BUT CLOSED WELL UP.
March Went to Record for the Season, Reaching
 32.80c at Close

New York, March 16.-The cotton market was quiet today, but ruled generally steady with the close show ing net advances of to IT points. Near months were relatively firm and March made new high record for the season, selling at assoc, and clos ing at that level.
 The opening was steady at an ad- vance of to IF points on a. con- tinuation of the buying movement which had been in progress at tfe clcse yesterday. March showed the maximum advance on further covering, while there was trade buying of May and offerings were restricted by the renewed complaints of drought in the southwest, the continued strength Of the, goods market and bullish spot advances. Realizing was active enough to cause slight reactions from the opening figures, but the market soon firmed up with May selling at 31.9Sc, July at 3146c and October at 304lc or about s to IT points net higher on the active positions.
 The clooe was a shade off from the pest OH new CIOp ucllNCiiCo hiuCt s'Soe- tered realizing, which was probably promoted by private report of rains in southwest Texas. The barometer lines, however, held out no prospect for any important rainfall, according to local map readers. and the private reports mentioned seemed to make little im- pression on, sentiment.
 Reports that shipments of cotton to New England mills wer9 being speed- ed up from both New Fork and tine south were considered favorable fea- ture, but the talk of expanding mill consumption was modified by Fail River adyices to the effect that pro- duction was being kept down by a permanent scarcity of labor. Fall River sales for the week were esti- mated 175,000 pieces against Sb0,000 last year and the curtailment of pro- duction at l2o.000 agaAst 75,00o last year.
 A good part of the business here was attributed to evening up for over the weekend. and brokers around the ring said they saw little indication of any change in sentiment.
