SOLDIER STOLE A BRIDE

A Buick roadster dashed into town
last night about half past nine 'clock
and stopped suddenly at the Dixie the
atre from which emerged a tall sold
Ter who inquired at the box Office for
Miss Weaver, and being rebuffed bv
Mrs. Orr for attempting to see one Of
the show girls during the show he made
his way to the stage door, asking again
for Miss Weaver, but nothing doing
show girls cannot be disturbed during
performance.
Love knows no barriers consequent
~ Miss Weaver, who by the way was
the pretty girl who made love to an
other man, and acted very well in
deed, instinctively knew her man was
there, and frequently smiled at the long
lank figure at the back Of the house
who seemed to find no pleasure in. the
amusing and very entertaining show.
When the house emptied the two low
ers met on the outside and five min
utes was enough time for both to agree
that they must cast their fortunes to-
gether. An interview between Mana
ger Orr and Miss Marion Weaver last
ed longer, but terminated with firt
of her head and o founce Of her skirt
she bounced into the waiting car, and,
only waiting to get her baggage, the
loving cOuple whisked into the dark
ness Of the night, seeking preacher
and bound for Camp Lee where the
soldier boy was stationeh ann from
where he drove at breakneck speed to
get his girl, leaving Camp Lee, Peters
burg at half past three yesterday
afternoon and reaching here at half
past nine. Some speed, oh, but love
will have it's way.

THERE SHE GOES''

One of the snappiest, well appointed
and nicely carried out musical com
edies that has ever graced the Dixie
theatre was wrapped up in the pot
pourri entitled "There She Goes.
which by the way does not half con
vey the many vehicles in the cast and
setting that s'made her go.''
First it is but just to mention the
principal girl, and she was quite ''prin-
clpal', for her voice alone would have
given her the lead even had she no
other qualification for premiership.
which she undoubtedly had, for she
walked the stage better than any other
woman that trod the Dixie board. And
furthermore, as the women would say,
she wore pretty clothes and knew how
TO wear them.
The second girl, Miss Marion Wea-
yer, will be best remembered for being
pretty and having a romance in her
life, the love lights being in her eye,
and her soldier lover in the audience.

some novelty.
The dancing act of the LeRoys was
par-excellence. The male quartette,
though not up to the mark of s'The
Million Dollar Doll' was put across
better by its stage business, and the
other leaders were all we'll fitted for
their parts, notwithstanding AL Knight
had Joined the show but two DAYS ago.
nor must we forget the male dancing
Of Leroy and Christy.
The chorus showed up well, wore
pretty costumes, which were changed
frequently, and danced as well as pre-
sent day: choruses usually do. The only
fault to find was the. audience was not
there and the absentees missed quite
treat.

The war has ennobled and dignified
castor oil, and made the culture OF
the can profitable avocation. What
they are doing with it now suits vii
lie almost to death; they are oiling
airplanes with it, and burning it in
lamps; it burns very slowly. and
makes a light of notable brilliancy,
and used on an airplane's bearings,
you can't beat it, because it never gets
excited over the changing tempera-
ture, and also they make fine soap
out of it. Grandma introduced most
of us to castor oil years ago, and we
have always been impressed with the
view that it might be utilized some
day for some useful purpose, instead
of terrorizing youngsters with It. It
would be a sweet revenge, indeed, for
all the distress that has been visited
upon US, to become castor bean farm
ers, turn our crops into fabulous
wealth, and sell the oil for lamps, soap
and airplanes, with the proviso that
nobody should be allowed to swallow
a drop of it. Hoover has been watch
ing castor oil with jealous eye, be-
cause he needed it to win the war.
and the government has set a maxi
mum price of $3.50 per bushel on the
beans, as compared with only $3.50
for wheat. So far as Willie is con
cerned, all of it ought to be devoted
to war and airplanes and soap, and he
would feel that he was betrayer Of
the flag, and probably come under the
terms of the espionage act, if ne con-
scented to swallow a drop of it. And
we ought to commence, right now, and
save all of our castor oil for the next
war, let it come when it may-Seat-

The cotton market was lower on Sat
urday. The advance of nearly 3 cents
q pound from the low point of Monday
to the high price of Friday was evident
ly sufficient to attract a good deal of
realizing. The larger spot business re-
ported in the South late on the pre-
ceding day was followed by hedge SELL
ing, which was also factor, and the
market closed at a net decline of 45 to
10 points. January contracts fuctuated
between $3.50 and $500, closing at
1856.
The market opened easy at decline
OF AZ to DO points under profit taking
and Southern hedge selling. These ini-
tlal offerings were soon absorbed by a
broadening commission house demand
and trade buying. After selling at 1923
on the call, March contracts recovered
to 1888, or back to within IL points of
fridays closing figures. But the realiz-
ing continued, becoming more active in
the late trading, and last prices were at
nearly the low point of the day.
The better spot business reported in
the South was considered a reflection
of an improved trade demand. The
statement that members of the Ship
Control Committee have rendered their
designations, to take effect on January
l, was considered another feature
showing the gradual Improvement in
shipping conditions. This more OPP
timistic view of export prospects, com
blned with the relative firmness of
Southern spot holders, has doubtless
been the chief factor on the advance
which had extended from 24.53 to 27.43
for January earlier in the week.
Some attention was attracted by re-
ports that the French and Belgian
committees had bought large quaint
ties of goods which had been held in
stock for the War Department., but
which were no longer needed for the
army. This was perhaps the most en-
couraglng feature in the news from the
goods trade, which remains unsettled.
with some mills curtailing production
IN order to prevent accumulations.
Some improvement has been reported
IN the retail trade, but the recent fall
ing off in general business activity is
nndlng a reflection in easier money
markets. In one way, this is consid-
cred bullish factor on cotton, as mer-
camille agencies state that Southern
growers are finding no difficulty in Sc
curing funds to enable them to hold
their cotton.
The local market for spot cotton was
steady and so points lower, at 90 Csc
for middling upland, compared with
29.75c the day before and 29.95c the
year before.

trade was in receipt of further official
advices from the food administration
stating that all restrictions on trading
in coffee futures had been removed, so
far as the administration was con-

tract any particular attention, as some
little time ago the Washington officials
intimated their willingness to free the
futures market from restrictions of any
kind. Whether the exchange will re-
open at this time depends largely upon

Wheat.-The movement of wheat has
shown a notable increase at interior
points this week, the arrivals being
1367S,OO0 bushels, or about 100000
bushels more than the previous week.
At the same time, there was a very
marked increase in the quantity ex
ported from the country, the total be-
ing 7,041 900 bushels for the six days,
compared with 100000 bushels for the
same time week ago. Texas advices
reported a big snow, following recent
fine rains, enabling farmers to put in
large wheat acreage in Central West
Texas
Corn.-Hcavy general selling, with
local and commission house pressure,
broke the corn market cents a bushel
on Saturday, and while slight rallies
followed near the close, last prices
were still II to 23sc under the pre-
vious night Anticipation of a notable
increase in the movement had much
to do with the selling pressure, but the
market was also influenced by a bear
ISL Interpretation of the new regula-
tons issued by the food administration,
modifying some of the previous rules.
The change that seemed to be mostly
responsible for bearish sentiment was
the one permitting an extension of
speculative trading to any month with
out restriction, the idea being that
this would give short sellers longer
time in which to adjust their commit
ments.
OTHER changes were the discontin-
uance of daily reports of transactions
to the secretary's Office, and permission
to carry so-called spread accounts to
the extent of 100000 bushels on each
side. in addition to the 100000 bushels
previously permitted a customer in any
one commodity. 1t is expected that
Chicago receipts of corn on Monday
may run as high as 500 cars, good
part of which may come from Northern
Illinois and Iowa points. as advices
have indicated much more liberal offer
ings from these sections than for
some time past. A break of from 5 to
10 cents bushel in cash corn. re-
suited from this liberal increase in
offerings, while demand was limited
to moderate business with local in
dustries. When January got down to
s1.28A there was a little commission
house buying, which arrested further
loss and led to the slight upturn near
the close.
