WAR SAVINGS DRIVE
is AIDED BY WOMEN

Atlanta, Ga.-The various women's
organizations of the state who parti-
cipated i'll the recent successful cam
paign for the United War Work Fund
will lend their efforts to the War Sa-
wing Stamp organization of Georgia
to secure 100 per cent redemption
of the pledges signed by the people
IN the drive last June, according to the
announcement made here today by
Hugh Richardson, state director for
War Saving Stamps.
The women's committees of the
National Council of Defense in each
county have been requested by Mrs
Samuel M. Inman, chairman for Geor-
gia, to give their whole-hearted sup
port to the county chairmen for War
Saving Stamps. The special women's
organization formed in connection
with the United War Work campaign
have been given similar request by
Mrs E. Fl. Goodhart, who headed the
women of the state in the war work
drive
Although the people of Georgia
pledged themselves in writing to buy
more than $13,000,000 worth of War
Saving Stamps. the redemptions are
so far behind that the Treasury De-
partment in Washington has sent
special representatives to tour the
state in assisting the local county
ohairmen.

THE PRAISE CONTINUES
Everywhere We Hear Good Reports
of Doan's Kidney Pills

Fitzgerald is no exception Every
section of the U. S. resounds with
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills. Fifty
thousand persons are giving testimony
in their home newspapers. The sin
cerity of these witnesses, the fact that
they live so near, is the best proof OF
the merit of Doan's. Here's Fitz-
gerald case.

tablished in every county. The
pledge cards for that county will
there be audited. Notification cards
Will be sent to each and every sipner

OF War Saving Stamps they promised

THE WORLDS MARKET
Weekly Financial

New York. August 25.-Conflicting mon- etary conditions without precedent in the history of American finance caused a further halt in the activities of the stock market last week, although the under tone was strong in the main. becoming almost buoyant at the final session. Credit restrictions were counter bal anced to degree, however, by the steady accumulation of Liberty Bonds, espe. ciaily the tax exempt S1as at the new rec ord of s102.50.
 There wac a noteworthy increase of dealings in the foreign war flotatious, the inquiry extending to Russian inter- nal and external bonds. Absorption of these issues vas accompanied by greater strength in exchange on London and Paris, francs making their highest quo tation of the year.
 Buying of the foreign notes and bonds was stimulated not only by the further successful offensives of the allied forces in the west but also by the decision of the British treasury to retire on the United Kingdom 511s, maturing Septem- Der 1 next.
 An important step toward the restora- tion of more normal money rates was taken by J. F. Morgan & Co.,. who an- nounced their intention to make daily advances on eligible acceptances at rates based on the discount quotation of the federal reserve bank.
 Market leaders were at their best prices of the year at the week end. Canadian Pacifics further substantial gain cars- ing another precipitate dividing in the spot interests while United States Stee,'s rise to sl14la also affected some disorder among the bears.

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans, August 25.-Price changes in cotton were wide last week. strong advances to almost the highest leve,s ever recorded featuring the contract market, although on the close violent reaction of over 1c pound occurred At the highest levels, made on Friday, the trading months were 156 to IF points over the close of the proceeding week. of 93 to Ill points, so that the market moved over an extreme range of 25o 70 219 points. The net change for the week was Il rise of 43 to 62 points.
 Unsatisfactory crop advices, the pres ence of the second hurricane of the sea- son in the Caribbean sea and, on Friday, a private bureau condition report of 57 per cent of the normal were the main bullish influences. Strong advances were made around the opening after which widest advances ever made were regis tered the active months at their best being 226 to 253 points up.
 This week the question will be on the opening as to whether the reaction of last week is to persist. The inclination among the trade, quite generally, is to believe that the movements of the tropical storm are likely to play an im- portant part in deciding the immediate course of the market Recent rains in Texas may bring in improved crop ac- counts from that section but they are likely to be offset, in ar great measure by complaints of injury ito the grade ot open cotton.
 Toward the end the market will prob ably become dull affair, unless war or weather news is strong enough to stir up fresh activity. The week will end friday night for the usual triple Labor o1tA pl frIJ bny Ttto day, September 8, will be August report on condition from the government. The way opinion shapes up regarding this re- port probably will have much to do with the net changes of the week in prices.

Over w. 10. Campbelrs Wire

The following is Saturdays market letter from New Orleans:
 A natural reaction from recent wide advances came upon the cotton mar ket today, forcing prices down more than cent pound and causing con- siderable liquidation among recent buy CTS. The market also met heavy short selling as soon as the downward trend was definitely established. Aiding the reaction to no small extent were the rains in Texas, 15 weather stations there being wet while many points not issued in the official returns got light to heavy showers. For the moment the hurricane now apparently located to the south of Jamaica and moving to- ward the Mexican gulf was ignored. Neither was any attention paid to the storm warning for the Carolina coast, caused by the approach of a disturb ance in the Atlantic moving northward along the coast.
 Opening at decline the market fell off until the trading months stood 9S to 105 points under the close of Fri day before it met any buying of conse- quence. From the lowest levels there were only moderate recoveries; the nervous buying power so much in evil dence yesterday had wholly disappeared.
 tSotiCo "As poSteu toudy that the cotton exchange will close this coming week on Friday night, which means that the usual triple Labor Day holi- days will be observed. Immediately after them. on Tuesday, September 3, will come the condition report to Au- gust 25. Because of the importance of this report it is difficult to venture a hard and fast opinion for the near future, but it would not be surprising to witness return of strength on any favorable circumstance.
 Lowest prices came toward the end when the trading months were 119 to 125 points down. The close showed net declines of 112 to 125 points.-Shepard c.

Cotton Goods Review

New York, August 25.--Cotton goods for civilian needs continues light, and government needs continue to increase. Bids were asked for during the week for 15o.000,0o0 yards of gauge for hos pital purposes and 100000 yards of drills, twills. etc. They will be opened August 30. The trade is settling down steadily to business conducted under fixed price conditions. The market is much steadier and while there is not a great deal of new business sought by manufacturers, very little complaint is heard of the new system.
 New prices named on bieached cot. tons sold under well-known brands were substantially on the levels that have heen prevailing for sometime Ginghams that were sold for spring in anticipation of price revision to be announced by the government. will be charged up at the new government prices. Additional prices on cotton goods are to be announced shortly. to include denims. plaids, cheviots. etc. It is also expected that the converting trades will be apprised by the rice fx- ing board under what plan they may work to harmonize their sales with the price fixing plans adopted for ni'ls. Jobbers and retailers are buying goods very moderately.
 The advance in cotton has removed ell Likelihood of cancellations on the part of either retailers or jobbers, as 1t seems to traders that the October price revision by the government can- not be on a lower price basis. Prices quoted are as follows: Print cloths, 2S- inch 64x64s. 12Ac; 64x60s. 1l%c; 3SM. inch 64x64s. 16Mc; brown sheetings southern standards, 20Nc denims. 2.20 southern; indigo, S7hc nominal; tick ings.

Weekly Metal Review

New York, August, 25.-Strenuous, fl for the production, conservation and dis tribution of steel. At conference in Washington Thursday the government estimate of requirements for the current half year were placed at 23,000,ooo tons, about S,oooOoo tons more than was esti- mated a few weeks ago. It is possible the figures may even be increased Co -o.o00, GOO.
 As at the present rate of production not more than 1s,000,00o tons of rolled steel may be expected. it will be neces- sary to increase the present capacity of the mills and finishing shops. Every pound of steel will be needed for war purposes Other enterprises will be com pletely cut off and even the preference list reduced.
 Iron is relatively in a worse position than steel. Scarcity of the former is largely responsible for the shortage of the latter Furnaces have been ham, pered by insufficient fuel supply, and production during August is expected to show decrease at time when the demand was never heavier.
 Allocations of iron will be for war pur- poses only.

 Lead remains scarce. Lighter pro- duction and heavier demand are respon- sible for steady advance of spelter, which is now firm at 9 to 9h as to position. a \
