The Strength in Cotton.

Cotton. like stocks. is furnishing its
own market. and. as in stocks, the
tears have had rather rough treatment
In the last three weeks. Every day
brings a furry OF unsettlement. but It Is
hardly sufficient to form tho reaction
that many In the trade believe is neces-
sary to put the market In healthy con-
dtuon. The tenacity of growers In hold
Ing on to their staple. the proposal to
decrease acreage SO per cent. which now
appears certain of being done, a cur
rent demand from domestic mills and an
expected demand from foreign ones puts
logical aspect on the prices at which
cotton rules to-day. At any rate, when
amy crumbiiag tendencies appear there
In sufficient support offered to put on
Tia reaction another DAY.

No Holiday Monday.

1t Is understood that the Stock Ex-
change governors will take no action in
regard to holiday on Monday for the
Sixty-ninth's parade and that tho Ex-
change will remain open. II is the
position of tho governors that the closing
OF the New York market closes not only
the one here but interrupts business in
all parts of the country. particularly in
cities where New York Stock Exchange
houses have branch offices or wire con-
nections. Another reason advanced is
that the great number, of HOLIDAYS re-
Gently. For a month or so there has
been one in almost every week.

we couldn't raise
an army-but we did.
G er IN a y said we
couldn't transport that
army across three thou
sand miles of ocean and
through the U-Boat
zone-but we did.
G err m a n y said we

we turned the tide of a
victorious march on
Paris, and won the war,
won it months sooner

Because the nation

man and woman in
America came forward
freely to offer his and
her time, dollars and

Today we are facing
a new trial-and a new
opportunity.
And some men say
that we cannot realize
the era of prosperity
that lies almost within
our grasp, with it's in
crease in industry and
trade, its good wages
and employment for all.
But we can-if we all

r. Walk Before Car.

Few people know 1t, but it is a fact,
that nj person in the state OF Tennes-
see may legally run an automobile over
the highways Of the state until he or
she has first posted a bulletin for two
weeks preceding the time that the jour

plated, and even then when the two
weeks is up and the wourd-b be automo-
bilist Is ready for the contemplated
journey, he must send a man ahead
With a red flag announcing that he is
on his way.
This law was passed by the state leg
islature years g and has never been
repealed, The author of the bill was
prompted to see that it vas passed be-
cause Of an incident that happened
years ago; A man with a steam thresh-
ing machine was passing down one of
the states highways when a person in
a buggy drove up. The machine fright
ened the horse and he ran away, spill
ing the occupant of the buggy in r
ditch and seriously injuring him. TT
law prohibitions the use Of the high
motive power except that drawn by
horses. or other beasts of burden. That,
Of course, applies to automobiles.
No n has so far ever tested the
validity of this act. but the state, by
common consent, has ignored the law,
letting 1t die out.
Another amusing act is the law licens-
ing. feather merchants to do business
within the state, The poor feather man
Is taxed higher than any other indi-
vidual, being forced to pay $500 a year
to buy and sell feathers, and all be-
cause on one occasion a feather man

coming a gentleman.
II there we're as many itinerant
feather merchants traversing the state
as there are corporations within situses

would have been repealed long ago,
But the fea-her buyer is the thing OF
