BETTER TONE ID COTTON MARKET
Is Growing Belief That Fixing of General Price Will Be Un- necessary-ClOsed at Advance of 40 to so Points.

New York, Sept, 25.-A growing belief that the fixing of a general price for cotton would prove unneces- sary and that the operations of the War Industries Board committees would not materially disturb existing channels of distribution, seemed large ly responsible for the better tone of the cotton market today.
 The general list closed steady at net advance of 40 to 50 points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance on trade buying and covering. The latter was stimulated by the prompt stopping of the few October notices issued, the western belt fore cast of rains followed by lower tenn peratures and the bullish weekly re port of the weather bureau. There was realizing and some scattered Southern selling during the middle of the day. There was no great volume of selling, however, and the market was very firm again late in the after noon.
 The statement authorized by Chair man Brand of the committee on dis tribution said the committee would exercise it's supervision through exist ing customary channels and believed the objects could be accomplished without disturbing to an appreciable extent the existing facilities and or ganizations for marketing and dis tributing the crop.
 Spot cotton quiet; middling 33.35.

courtesy and consideration extended between the Federal and Confederate soldiers, contrasting them with the unhappy fates which have been those of some of the allied nations which have felt the power of the German hand during it's early victories.
 An all day rain today did not dampen the ardor of the visitors, al- though it kept them within doors most of the time and impromptu dances and entertainments took place of some of the sightseeing trips the local committees had planned.
 K. M Van Zandt, commander of the Trans Mississippi Department of the United Confederate Veterans, today assumed command of the veterans during the illness of General George P. Harrison.
 General R. A. Sneed, commander of the Chickasha brigade, today called the veterans together in the first general session of their reunion. Vel coming speeches were made by Tate Brady of Tulsa, chairman of the Re- union committee; Robert N. McFar- lin, president of the Tulsa Chamber of Commrece, and Albert C. Hunt, commander of the local camp of the Sons of Veterans.

CHESS GAME OF EARLY
DAYS HELD OVER WIRE

DR.. John Reed of this city is an
old-time chess player and the news
of the death of Col. Carter of Dodge
vile caused Mr.. Reed to recollect a
great game Of chess held back in the
nineties between Martin Oswald, DR.
Reed and Chas. Hill on one side and
Judge VIM. e. Carter Of Platteville
on the other. The Lancaster players
had their station in the postoffice and
the game started when the office clos
ed one winter evening T. A. Burr,
father Of f. G. Burr, acted as spokes-
man over the wire for the Lancaster
side and called the moves made here
Judge Carter sat at the other end Of
the wire in Platteville and waged his
battle against the three keen players
at Lancaster. The game went on un-
til one the next morning and ended
in a draw
Judge VIM. E. Carter was a famous
attorney Of those days and afterwards
went to Milwaukee. He was a broth
er Of Col. Carter OF Dodgeville and
Judge Carter Of Lancaster VIM. E.
Carter was also a famous chessman
and carried a small board on his
journeys. He spent his idle time work
ing out chess problems.
Chess, said to be the greatest of all
games, is played but little in these
days.

Farmers all over the country are
making numerous inquiries about
their incOme-taX returns. Men Of the

will visit every county in the United
States during January and February.
Notice of their arrival will be given
in advance The services of these Of

to file their returns not later than

Of crops and stock the relation of
these things to income, etc., and as
to employees and other matters, will
all be answered by the revenue field
