WEEKLY REVIEW
 COTTON MARKET
Important Results Are Looked For During the COmink Week Weather News Will Be a Factor.

New Orleans, July 6.-While net changes in the cotton market last week were small, amounting to losses of six to 43 points in the contract de- partment while spots showed no change, the trade seems to look for larger trading and more important re- suits this week. A more definite shap- ing up of the European commercial situation is looked for which is ex- pected to lead to larger exports, al- though shipments last week were large enough to send the figures for the season over the 5,000,000 mark. Up to hte close of business last week the grand total of clearances was 5, O78,541 bales, against 4,028,545 to the same time last year.
 According to general opinion weath- CT news is bound to assume increased importance because July and August are conceded to be the critical stage of the growing season. AS the mar ket closed last week political news appeared to have been discounted over the holidays.

ITALY IS FIGHTING
 FIRES OF ANARCHY
Revolts Are Directed by the Chamber of LabOr-FlOrence, Bologna, Ravenna and Forli Suffer.

Rome, July 6.-Italy's life or death grapple with anarchy, has begun. Like a prairie fire, red revolt is sweep ing the central part of the country. Sovietism has planted it's banners all across the Romagna district, setting up feminist form of government in Florence, Bologna, Ravenna and Forli. The forces of the old regime in that area are dying hard and the result is civil warfare. The mob, sick and starving, greedily inhales the soviet promises of cheap food sweetened by the doctrine of equality" Thus in- toxicated, it abandons itself to reign of rioting, footing and promiscuous murder.
 Meanwhile the Rome government, frantically struggling to keep it's breath the terrific weight of foreign and domestic problems, is concentrat- ing it's efforts upon checking the flames of anarchy. Before it can think of eXtlngulshlng them 1t must
 The main agency in spreading it, is the Chamber of Labor" with branch es throughout the kingdom and pro- ceeding with all the dictatorial ruth lessness that marked the early stages the Chamber of Labor that reigns supreme at this moment at the Ro- magma district. It is fashioned close ly after the council of workmens' and soldiers system. "The day of the under dog is dawning," is it's watch word in calling on the masses to rally to it's banners, while Italy's paralyzed industrial condition, lack of food and raw materials are it's main allies.

VERY QUIET FOURTH
 AT THE STATE CAPITAL

Little Rock, July 5.-This Fourth of July was one of the quietest ever known in Little Rock. It was gener- ally observed as holiday, all business being suspended, but there was no celebration in Little Rock. Argenta had celebration, which attracted many from the South side. There were two baseball games during the day, and thousands of excited fans gathered round the bulletin boards to watch the progress of the prize fight. These were the most exciting things that happened during the day.

TO ENROLL ALL BLIND
 CHILDREN IN STATE SCHOOL

Little Rock, July 5.-Col. George Thornburg, superintendent of the Ar kansas School for the Blind, is making an effort to get every blind child in the state into the school. He says:
 Every child of school age whose eyesight is so defective as to prevent him or her being pupil in the public school, should be here in the school for the blind. Some might be res tored to sight by the treatment they would receive and those who could not be restored would receive such an education as would bless them through life.
 "No parent or friend of blind child need fear to send a child here, for they will be cared for as tenderly as if they were in their own home. am prepared to say that this is a happy home, for every one who comes to it."
 An appeal is made to the preachers of the state to assist in the enrolment of all blind children. Col. Thorn burgh says, "The preachers know who in their charge are blind, or partially so, and a word of encouragement by them to parents may result in the sending of child and blessing it for life."

The Moon and Life

its maximum of heat and light to
the earth.
The question then turns to other
possible influences OF the moon. It
does exert. a certain very slight
effect upon the earth's magnetism,
but this is so small that II seems,
on the face of things, in the high
est degree improbable that veEe-
table life should be perceptibly af-
fected by it, About the only way
in which the moon exerts a greater
effect upon the earth than the sun
does Is in the production Of the
tides.
In this case, owing to the moons
relative nearness and to the fact
that the tidal force varies inverse
~ as the cube Of the distance mot
the, square, as with direct attrac-
tion), the moon is more efficient
than the sun in raising tides in the
ocean, and perhaps in the atmos-
phere, in the ratio Of about 2h to 1.
But 1t is. difficult to see how this
could have any influence upon plant
growth. As to any radiation from
the moon OF some other form Of
energy than those which are known
to play a part in plant growth, or in
meteorology, the supposition Of such
a thing can at present have no more
than 3 fanciful basis.
Another thing to be taken into
account Is the fact that while the
SOLAR seasons have a yearly, peri
odicity,, the lunar seasons, or
phases, have a period OF only one
month, so that the cycle of their
influence II they have any, should
recur twelve times year. Is there
a corresponding cycle OF plant
growth? have never heard Of
any.

"Oh, in the course of our CONVEX
satIon, / remarked that was coming
here tonight, and reminded him that
you had been a favorite Of his
aunt's. He said he had never called
on you when you were in Balti-
more"
'No-nor when he has been here"
Desire supplemented stiffly. 81 am
not particularly anxious to meet
him-certainly not anxious enough
ever to suggest his coming to my
house"
Here Mrs. Duffield hastily intro
duced, another topic Of CONVERSE
ton. She feared that Desiree might
make some remark that was deroga-
tory to a young man whom Miss
Bristol evidently liked.
After supper, when her guests
had gone into the drawing room,
Desiree slipped out into the hall
for a word alone with her father.
Dad" she said. you really should
give Smith a few points in manners.
I was surprised at the way he be-
haved this evening. I saw him my
self get into the car and sit there
while Norah opened the door and
helped Miss Bristol out and then
brought her up the front steps into
the house"
That's stranger Mr.. Leighton
commented. 81 always thought
Smiths manners were exceptionally
good"
so did I. But they were bad to-
night He came here, rang the bell
for Norah-then caught her by the
arm and ran down the steps with
her"
He may have wanted a chance
for a chat with your pretty maid"
Leighton opined. Most chauffeurs
hirt with the maids, suppose"
Desiree frowned. 81 will not al

Her father looked surprised.

my dear. I will explain to Smith

Then she rejoined her guests in

Desiree remembered that Miss

in the world and that Miss DeLaine

amusement on MARY Bristors abil-

the girl smiled indUlgently now at
