We see not the stripes as of Old,
And the stars have changed too, in their

Representing here far more than gold.

To bring to the crushed ones of earth.

The valor and courage now battling
To crush out the German made sin
To leave fields of white through the

Fields made white with honor and worth,
Fields raising their flowers TO the

Each star is a piece of the true-hlue
That is found in the hearts of our boys,
For them will come honor and glory,
And the pleasure of VICTORY JOYS.

EARLY ADVANCES DROP OFF SHARPLY
October Goes to 24.53c, A
 Points Net Lower Than
 Saturday

New York. July S.--An early advan ce met increased offerings in the cotton market today and was followed by q sharp decline, with October selling off from 25. 23c to "A 53c or A points net lower. That delivery closed at 24 TIC, with the general list closing steady at a net decline of 8 to "A points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to II points and active months sold to 25 to 27 points net higher right after the call on a re- newal of Saturdays buying movement This included a moderate demand from some of the local spot houses, as well as further covering, but the support was not as active as it had been to- ward the end of last week, and prices soon turned easier.
 The crop report of a prominent New Orleans authority indicating the best condition for several years outside the drouthy sections of Texas appeared re. sponsible for much of the selling and there seemed to be a feeling in some quarters that too much had been made of the Texas drouth on the rallies of Friday and Saturday. A feeling also appeared to prevail in bearish circles mat resolutions passed at the New Orleans convention of last week re- 1lected uneaSineSS over the approach Ing Eew crop movement which may have added to the courage of sellers At any rate, prices broke about s3. 50 per bale from the high level of the morning. with December selling off from SPA S9 to s24.19, and with active months generally showing net losses of 4o to A points during the middle of the afternoon. Rallies of several points followed on covering, but last prices showed net losses of from 19 to 24 points on most of the new crop de- 1veries. There were private wires from Texas points claiming that the drouthy area was increasing, but otherwise, and except for boil weevil complaints, crop advices were favorable There were reports that Texas cotton could be bought in the interior at 150 points on october for October, November and December shipment.

New Orleans July S.--After displaying steadlness in the early trading, cotton broke under rather heavy selling, result ing from the favorable construction placed on crop reports printed by To- cal newspaper and lost about 1ac a pound. compared with the close of Saturday. July was inactive and business was con. med to the new crop months The early advance amounted to g to 9 points; from this the decline carried the trad ng months 32 to A points below Satur- days close Last prices showed net osses of b to 23 points
 The dry weather in the western belt over Sunday and fear that the drouth in Texas would extend to other sections caused an accumulation of buying or ders before the market opened. The fore cast of continued dry weather for the western half of the cotton country in creased the demand but there was a sud- den cessation of the inquiry once the market felt real selling pressure. Late in the day the tone steadied on a de- mand for covers from sellers of the morn ing who wanted their profits.
 While the session had it's rumors of an easier spot situation, local spot prices were unchanged at soc for middling Spot houses claimed that Texas offerings of new crop cotton were increasing
