construction and other emer-

main the body was named to

was necessary to get the papers
into the postoffice by six o'clock

the first of the following week.
Then there were some troubles

pretty well, but soon it became
apparent that to continue would
keep the press and pressman
bouncing up and down like a
boat shooting the rapids. and
there was danger of the press
man becoming sea sick. Just
when il seemed advisable TO call
off the attempt TO make the run
for a time. along came N. A.
Gee, professor of odd jobs and
general community handy man.
If there is anything that Gee
cannot do or will not try to do.

a look at the big press, and
said he would fix it. Taking
his departure, in a very short
time he returned with auger.

edition was partly run off
when all at once the lights
went out and the power

had failed us. Again Gee, the

Although the midnight hour had

Be Expeditions

Mr.. McAdoo, Director General
of Railroads. has just issued a
most earnest appeal to shippers
and TO anyone in any way i'm
terested in freight transporta.
tion TO unload and release cars
with all possible expedition.
He calls attention to the cir
cumstance thoughtlessly over
looked by the average shipper
that every hour a car is detain-
ed unnecessarily adds danger
ously to freight congestion and
is more instrumental than any
other one thing in causing dis
astrous freight blockades. In
dividual shippers are apt to feel
that an hour or two. or possibly
a day. does not amount to
much. while the haste necessary
would inconvenience him con.
siderab,y and entail additional
cost. He forgets that a hundred
thousand others are feeling and
acting the same way. that the
aggregate delay means hun.
dreds of thousands Of days lost
efficiency. and that this stup.
endous waste causes the con-
gestion that finally breaks down

 GRADE COTTON GLOVES
Manufacturers Overcome Many Ob. stacles ana Will Put Goods on
 Market This Fall.

Washington. July 15.-Technical diff .ficultEds encountered iby American manufacturers in the production of high grade cotton gloves have been overcome and goods of this kind made ill the United States" will be placed on the market this fall.
 A review of the industry issued to- day by the Tariff Commission said that the domestic product which has been evolved is Of excellent quality. One of the most difficult things to achieve has been the velvety suede finish, which gives the gloves the ap- pearance of leather. "Duplexing' or combining of two thickness of cloth in heavier gloves also has given trouble.
 Prior to 1914, no suede cotton glov- es were made in this country. Nine ty per cent of those imported came from Germany. Manufacturers have been experimenting in an endeavor to produce an article which would sup plant the German goods for all time and apparently now have succeeded.
 The United States is the only coun- try in the world in which the manu- fracture Of work gloves is of any inn portance. About $12,00O,000 worth of such cotton gloves are made annual ly in this country for home con- sumption. These gloves are made in several hundred different styles and are used in a great number of indus tries, from candy making to ship building.
 For the year ending June 30. 1914, imports of cotton gloves to all kinds were valued at $2,1S4 ,O39.24; during the wear ending June 30. 1917. only s30S.565 worth of cotton. gloves; was brought into ,the United states. The price of the German made gloves averaged soc 3 pair to the American consumer; the price now averages $1.0O a pair. Not all Of the incresse should be ascrtbed to the hieher cost of production in the Unit ed states. however, as 1t is partly

 New Orleans. July 15.--Bearish consumption rigured for June were offest in their effect cn cotton today by the dry weather which prevailed in the belt over Sunday. Fluctua- tions were nervous, prices rising 16 to IS points on the opening call, only to fall to 15 points under Saturdays close on the more active months i'm mediately after the call. Later there was recovery to net advance of 10 to 12 points.
 The demand increased moderately and in the trading up to noon the ad- vance was widened to 21 to 40 points.
 Trading was very quiet later in the morning and fluctuations were some what irregular, with the trade waiting for the detailed weather report from the Houston district and further news from the western front. Toward mid day, however, there was furry of covering by early sellers, which sent prices into new high ground for the day with October selling at 24.74 and December at 24.44 or 25 to 26 points net higher.
 The market turned very quiet with values inclined to sag under the in activity. At one o'clock prices were 8 to 9 points up net.

 Chicago. July 1o.-Although favor able weather and big receipts led tc material setback in corn today the effect failed to last. Aggressive buying on the decline brought about a rally which more than overcome all the losses Opening prices, which varied from 3-S to l IA lower with August $159 7-S to $1.60 14 and Sep" tember $159 12 to $1.60, were follow ed by slight additional sag and then a sharp upturn.
 Subsequently. prices scored sub stantial gains owing more or less to a decrease in the visible supply total and to reports that the car supply in many sections was not large.
 Oats swayed with corn. After open- ing IA to 1 1-2 down, the market ral- lied to we'll above Saturdays finish.
 Business in provisions was nearly at standstill.
 The fact that exports for the week were much larger than last year tended to harden values in the last half of the day.

due to an increase in the general level of prices, the commission says.
 From 1890 to 1909, with the except ion of the year 1894 to 1897 the rate was 40 per cent. An attempt was made in 1909 to encourage the manu- fracture of cotton gloves of the sort worn by policemen, and by soldiers and sailors when on parade. A duty equivalent to about 85 per cent ad- valoreum was placed on gloves of this sort by the Tariff of 1909, but the total value of gloves of this sort made in this country has been small. The rate of duty on cotton gloves, by whatever process made, was reduced to 35 per cent ad valorem in 1915.
