Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, February 26.-Liverpool this morning was better than due and there continues to be a fair demand fo1 spot cotton in that market which strengthens the quotations abroad. Here the market was higher early on buying by Liverpool in July and May. but was unsettled by the circulation of notices of delivery on some 10000 bales of March, believed to have been started by Japanese inter- ests. These notices circulated freely all day and led to a sharp decline in the March premium and to some unsettle- ment in the general market. On the whole, however, considering the deliver ies, the undertone was steady and the market ruled above or around last nights prices. We hear that there is rather better feeling in goods circles although no volume of business is passing. Wealth. CT conditions south are cold and stormy and there is beginning to be some talk of delay in crop preparations.-Hubbar Bros. & Co.

A TALE OF ACORN

Probably there is no pain in the world more excruciating than to have someone step on your fav- orite corn, especially If it happens to be over-ripe. And it is not hard to imagine the pain is intensified many times should someone happen to throw a rock and the missile lands squarely on the favOrfte aforesaid.
 Yesterday afternoon Officer Stokes was serenely walking his beat on Fourth avenue and Eight eenth street; his thoughts were peaceful, as everything was quiet and he was soon 10 be relieved. His calm serenity was rudely dis turbed. however, for out of the cor ner of his eye he saw a negro boy Achunking1 . rock at a dusky conn panion and before he could inter- fere something struck him on the toe that sent a thrill of agony through his being and his peace full thoughts were suddenly turned into a desire to murder, to Kill, to maim; for the rock had landed sauareIy on his corn with the seem- ing force of n IA centimeter shell.
 Despite the pain the officer gave chase and captured Theodore Gar field, a diminutive Ethiopian of

office of the alien property custodian.
 Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey,
 republican, introduced a resolution to-
 day proposing congressional investiga- tion of the work of the custodian. With out discussion the resolution was referred
 to the Senate commerce committees which the senator proposed should make the inquiry.
 In his statement tonight Mir. Palmer said his report contained, as required by
 law. a list of all persons appointed or employed with salary or compensation paid to each and a statement of the diff
 ferent kinds of property taken into cus-
 tody and the disposition made of it. STATEMENT ABSURD
 MT. Palmer said a published statement
 that some New York lawyer has re-
 ceived a fee. of s50,0O0' is absurd. No
 such fee had been paid by his office, he declared, and none anywhere approaching
 that sum had been paid by any corpor-
 ation in which the alien property custo-
 dian has an interest.
 Reference in a newspaper story relat- ing to a former congressman from Brook 1yn is evidently aimed at Hon. J. J. Fitzgerald" said MT. Palmer He has
 been for somthing over year counsel for the American Metal company, con- cern whose business runs into scores of millions per annum, anc mas been palu by that company at the rate Of $ooo a
 month, very small charge for the serv- i ice he has rendered. In three other cor porations, MT. Fftzgeald represented the companies as counsel before l took over the enemy interest therein, and l per mtted him to remain.
 MT. Calder said the highest paid per- son in the alien property custodian's of flee was the custodian himself ito whom Congress granted a salary not to ex- ceer 5000
 Every employe. he said, had been taken from a list of eligibles furnished by the civil service commission, except attor- neys, who are expressly exsmpted by law.

SIXTY-THREE ~"
MEN DECORATED

Chicago.-The Y. M. G. A. carried
the Red Triangle into the camps and
trenches abroad at a cost of 53 lives,
a sacrifice proportionately one-quarter
as great as that in the American army
according to a statement issued Dy the
national war work council of the y.
M. G. A. OF these fatalities 30 were
due to disease, and the remainder TO
shell-ire, bombs, gas-fever, drowning
and wounds. Ten Of these were WON
en-. one Of whom was killed by smell
fire and the others in a German air
raid.
There were also 55 ~non-fatal cas-
ualties. These were due principally
to machine gun fire, shell fire, and mo-
tor transport accidents. Numerous
cases of slight wounds and castings
which were attended at dressing sta
lions, but were not reported to head
quarters, are not included.
These casualties occurred in force
which at no time exceeded 5000 work
ers. of whom it is reckoned that more
than One-half were never sent to the
front, being employed in the hundreds
of huts maintained throughout the
training areas and the s'leave areas"
Sixty-three s'Y' workers were deco
rated, while in all more than 152 re-
ceived official recognition for distin-
guished service. Thirteen of these
were decorated with the Croix de
Guerre. while 48 received other deco
rations. OF these, three received the
Distinguished Service Cross, three
the Order of st. Stanislaus, five the
Italian Cavaliere del Corona, 80 the
Italian War Cross, and n the
French decoration Of the Corps
d'Armee. Seven were cited for the
CrOix de Guerre, and seven for other
decorations, six commended for merit
orious conduct, and twenty-nine re-
ceived honorable mention IN dis
patches. Several units were cited in
their entirety, those serving with the
Third division being cited twice. More
than a score more reported decorations
have not yet been confirmed.
Not n Of these men under thirty
was fit for military duty, but the cita-
lions show that they carried on with
the same courage and spirit that iden-
tilted Americans throughout the war.
These records show that they went
over the top with the a~ssaulting
waves, that they exposed themselves
under machine gun and shell fire to
minister to the wounded, that they
worked indefatigably as stretcher
bearers, and that they drove ambu-
lances into the midst of battle to res
cue the wounded.

A Campaign Song

Tell me not, in tones so plaintive,
Paint is not necessity;
That the building never painted
Will last through eternity.
Paint protects us and Paint defends
us,
And the grave is soon the goal
OF the house that is not painted
AS the seasons onward roll.
In enjoyment and not sorrow
We should go about our way,
Get to work and paint tomorrow,
Better still, begin today.
Time fleets on and buildings perish,
And u homes, built stout and
strong,
Will decay and rot and moulder
If the paint IS delayed too long.
In these days of toll and HUSTLE.
Grab a paint brush and a can,
Don't let's be an old back number;
Save our buildings while we car
Trust no future to be brighter,
When we'll be more flush with cash;
Act now, in this glorious present,
Paint 'em up with vim and dash.
Homes of great men all remind us
We should paint our buildings DER,
Tho the painter leaves behind him
Footprints on our vanished floor.
Footprints of our friend, the painter,
Stepping on the undried stain,
Left their trace. But what's the diff
ference?
We can brush 'em out again.
Let us then be up and doing,
With a will that's strong, not faint,
Be achieving, be preserving,
Learn to labor and to PAINT.

To Clean Wallpaper.

Cut into eight headquarters a stale
loaf. With one or two pieces. after
having blown off all the dust from the
paper by means Of a pair of bellows
(if handy, begin at the top of the
room, holding the crust in the hand
and wiping lightly downward with the
crumb about half a yard at each stroke
till the upper part is completely clean
ed all around. then go around with the
like sweeping stroke downward, al
ways commencing each successive
course q little higher than the upper
stroke had extended till the bottom Is
finished. This operation, if carefully
performed, will frequently make very
old paper look almost equal to new.
Great caution must be used not to rub
paper hard nor to attempt cleaning 1t
the cross or horizontal way. The dirty
part Of the bread, too, must each time
be cut away and pieces renewed as
500 as at all necessary.

Lumbernnen Use Care.

Everywhere we see this old proverb
about an ounce of prevention being
worth a pound Of cure put into effect.
The latest people to use it in their
business are the lumbermen. They
have discovered that if they spray off
all their logs before they u them
under the saw they save countless seri-
GUS accidents. Coming to the mill little
particles of stone and gravel often adj
here to the logs, and if n of these
bits of material strikes the edge of the
huge circular saw just right-bing off
will go the saw into a thousand pieces
like shrapnel. If a spray Of great force
is played over the logs, there is. of
course, no danger of this happening, so
all up-to-date sawmills are beginning
to put this method into practice.

London's Coffee Houses.

In the seventeenth century there
grew up in London an institution
which history has deemed worthy a
place in it's records, and which full
filed for the Englishman of those
times a purpose much broader and
more useful than could possibly be
claimed for the saloon in these. That
institution was the coffee house. 1t
first made it's appearance in Crom-
wells time, but it was not until after
the Restoration that it attained its full
fashion and flower. What was at first
a place of meeting where Turkish
merchants appointed to meet their Gus
toners and offer a cup of coffee over
q bargain, became during the reigns OF
Charles II and James II a powerful in
Huence in the state.
