at the Columbia.

General Pisano, the famous Italian
sharpshooter, who comes to the Col
umbia tomorrow, is not only a man
with wonderfully acute eye and
steady hand, but is also clever show
man. He exhibits the feats in which
he works, showing beautiful picture
of the present scene of action in the
Isonzo river valley, surrounded by the
perpetual snow covered Alpine noun
tains, showing the Austrian and Ital-
ian forts, encampments and small
towns at nightfall in the distance. The
effects of the electrical illuminated
scene Is most thrilling and realistic.
General Pisano does a great deal of
remarkable and sensational shooting,
showing that his countrymen are not
behind any nation as marksmen.
Ray Snow, the man about town, does
polite monologue on timely topics,
which is full of laughs from beginning
to end. Full of sense and nonsense
and with an element Of surprises con-
tanned in his opening number, he
holds the attention of his audience
with the cleverness Of his material
and the quiet and convincing manner
in which he delivers his lines, The
Hippodrome Four, quartet Of COM

lent opportunities for entertainment
in their presentation of nonsensical
skit built solely for laughing purposes
which they call "Dingelspiels Night

inal and affords the quartet every adj
vantage to display their splendid har-
mony and rip-roaring comedy. Moran

HOLD YOUR COTTON
FoR A BETTER PRICE
ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. S.--Hold yolr
cotton for a better price.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. S.--Hold your
cotton for better price.
This in substance is the advice 10
southern farmers promulgated yeseer-
day afternoon at the closing session
of the cotton conference held in the
house of representatives in the state
capitol in this city. The conference
was attended by officials and citizens
representing practically everyone of
the twelve cotton producing states, in
Guiding commissioners of agriculture,
assistant commissioners, governors
and men representing governors.
While the action taken by the con-
ference was in every way conservative,
and was somewhat DETECTED from its
original program by the announce
ment Of Germany's acceptance of the
Allied terms-which announcement re-
NAMED unconfrmed at the hour when
he conference adjourned--at the
same time there was a spirit of strong
determination expressed in all of the
speeches as well as in the resolutions
adopted.
The opinion was expressed that
the cessation of hostilities will inn
mediately stop the shipment of am
munition in large quantities, thus
making room for cotton in the merch-
ant marine of the various nations, and
the demand for cotton in Europe will
be the greatest in the history Of the
industry, with a soaring of the pric.
Hence it behoves the southern farm
to hold his cotton until the price goes
up. In the meantime the Federal Re-
serve Board in Washington will be
asked to make it plain that commerce
ial paper secured by cotton ware
house receipts is altogether accept
able for discount, SO that farmers can
borrow the necessary money to meet
current obligations.

IN ICE COMPLAINTS
Topeka Companies Ask That Short
ages Be Made Known to Them.

Scores of complaints relative to re-
ceiving short weight in ice deliveries
have been made by Topeka consumers
to the State Journal instead of to the
ice companies. r. J. Hodgins of the
People's,Ice company, and Robert Bill
lard of the. Mutual Ice company, to-
day declared that they had received no
complaints and further stated that
they would be delighted to receive
complaints from any consumer and
the mistake would be made good"
Nothing would please me mort"
said Hodgins, than to have every
housewife install a pair of scales and
weigh the ice she receives every morn
ing while the dcliveryman is making
his CALL If the ice delivered is short
weight a note will be made of 1t and
when the shortage grows large enough
a chunk of ice covering the shortage
will be delivered.
I'VE also ask that note be taken
when overweight is delivered.
THE trouble. I would say, is in the
fact that we are being forced to en-
ploy SO many inexperienced cutters on
the delivery wagons. Both short
weight and overweight deliveries are
unintentional, and we are ready to
make good all short weights"
Billiard also declared that his com.
pany would be pleased 10 receive COM
plants that are justifiable and de-
clared the company would make them
good. He said the proper place to
make complaints is to the ice COM
panies themselves, and prompt action
will be taken.
