New York Cotton.

New York, Sept. 12.--Active sellin.
by commission houses, with demand
scattered, led to a weaker opening Of
the New York cotton market, when
prices showed losses of 20@47 points.
Some of the selling was based on an
unconfirmed report that the Nation
al Ginners' Association had estimat-
ed the condition of the crop in mid
month at 81, against 81 two weeks
ago, and 55.7 by the government as
of August %.
Liverpool was seller at the out
set, but New Orleans houses bought
and with covering ahead OF the ho.i-
day tomorrow eventulyy rallied the
market, prices at the end OF The first
fifteen minutes being steady at a
net decline of about 80 points.
The early break carried prices 600
70 points net lower, with October
selling to 34.4O, or 11O points below
the high level of yesterday There
seemed to be little pressure from the
South, however, and it was reported
around the ring that some hodges sold
in anticipation of spots last night
were being covered on the decline.
These bullish spot advances helped
to check he decline, and the market
turned firmer toward the end of the
first hour on Liverpool buying and
covering by shorts. The latter was
more active after the publication of
the weekly report of the Weather
Bureau, with October sellin~ up to
BAIT, or 81 points from the low

WEST PALM BEACH, March 10.-Dr
J. M. Munyon, of Philadelphia, died at
noon to-day in the dining room Of 8
local hotel Few men have had a more
versatile career than OR" Munyon.
Born at Thompson, Conn, August 8
184S, he was in turn school teacher
lawyer, social worker, editor, song
writer and patent medicine manufact.
urer. He was president of Munyon's
Homeopathic Home Remedy Company
and was rated as a millionaire. He was
not physician.
When he started upon his career
"Dr." Munyon is quoted as having said
that he had VIRTUALLY no capital ex-
cept ambition and a belief in the value
of letting folks know about it," he
spent large sums in advertising, and ic
this he attributed much Of his success
His famous gesture, with the index fin

came familiar through newspaper aa-
vertising in many parts of the world

New-York tribune., 1918-03-11
By Ralph Block

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Soft flush
OF GAVIN ldealists, along with idealists
OF the tender dusk and silver moonlight
schools. must be deeply annoyed when
ever they meet idealists from Chicapo.
The idealists of the Lake Michican
group have peculiar fashion of send
ing their idealisms out to play in broad
daylight, letting them take the air in
all kinds Of weather, the windier the
better, and they usually start them to
work at an early age. This is annoying
for several reasons.
All first class idealisms, beint, thor
oughbreds, are delicate and can't stand
the rough and tumble and hurly- bury
OF real lie. And if your idealsms
aren't of the delicate kind, letting them
play around in the mud and dirt of
actuality will forever keep them from
developing into anything better.
You don't always think of this when
you meet idealists from Chicago. You
don't always think of it, because they
little time and some patience to pene-
trate under their calm exteriors. the
matter of fact airs they wear, and
discover that at heart they are very
passionate. 1t is always astonishing
to wake up and realize that their snub-
nosed freckled idealisms have so tight
a clutch upon their affections, You
cannot help remembering the pallid
love for their idea!isms betrayed by
more elegant communities.
Agnes Nestor
Agnes Nestor is Chicago idealist.
If there are idealists who have their
faiths but Keen them submerged while
they spend themselves in works. Agnes
Nestor Is that kind. She is not an
eXhorting dealist. She does not carry
any fambeauX. She is not consciously
romantic and has few illusions about
her idealisms. But they are her motive
power, none the less.
She used to be a glove worker You
may think Of it when you meet her
She is small, with little droop in her
shoulders, and her eyes, which are
plSdSdiil, WARM anu SS III lpdlnlC, are Il
little tired. Her face is broad at the
cheekoones, like the faces of so many
people who give themselves to causes.
Her nose tips little. 1t is practical
nose, rather a restless and inquisitive
nose. 1t is fine balance to the rest
of the face. 1t explains a good deal.
After Agnes Nestor had been a glove
worker for a while. she became an Off
Ger of her union. 1t is difficult to get
her to bridge the spaces between these
developments. Chicago idealists are
rarely conscious OF themselves. You
have to imagine much III the slender
narrative of her progressions. There
was a time when she was an interna-
ton executive secretary of the union,
and another time when she became
president of the Chicago Woman's
Trade Union League. She fought for a
hour law for women in Illinois and
won, even though she had to carry The
case to the courts. Last year she
fought for an eight-hour law and lost,
