"Our Boys Are Dead,
Let's Go to Movies"
Is Rebuke for Apathy

/ FREEPORT, l.. l., June 2S.-"The
was is over. our boys are dead. Let's
so to the movles"
This Inscription in big letters on the
/ blackboard in the auditorium of a
public school in Grove street, Free
port, l.. /. caused wagging of tongues
among residents of Freeport yester-
day.
Henry J. McCord. Chairman of a
committee TO provide "A memorial for
those of Freeport. who died in the war,
wrote the inscription. He had called
a meeting at the school house Wednes-
day night at which final plans for the
memorial were to be submitted to the
Villagers Aside from the committee
six Freeporters attended the meeting.
Mr.. McCord, indignant at the resi-
dents for their apathy, wrote the re-
buke, then told those present that no
more meetings would be held and the
Village trustees would be told that the
people of Freeport apparently do not
care whether the memories of the
cummunity's slain youth are honored
or not.S
"The committee had worked for five
months on the project" said Mr.. Nc
Cord. I'VE consulted prominent
New York sculptor. who submitted a
design. 1t consisted of soldier and
sailor standing on a bronze pedestal,
n flag between them. The people Of
Freeport seem to forget the debt they
owe To the dead. I hope my rebuke
will have its effect. The apathy of
these people is disgrace"

mand is good, but the market met liberal

January contracts are 325 points under
spot quotations, and December options
are 200 under spots, Notwithstanding this
discount there is an anticipatory feeling
for lower prices in the immediate future
for cotton. Possibly the uncertainty OF the
miners strike and the attitude OF their
chiefs with regard to the injunction pro-
ceedings is one factor in the reactionary
influences.

New York, November 11.-Although
it has been something of struggle,
the market has held it's own well
through the day in spite of rather
general selling for both accounts in
spired by nervousness over the possible
outcome of the labor situation. The
south was considered a good seller
but much of it was believed to repre-
sent liquidation of contracts rather
than to be against actual cotton. Any
cotton that would meet contract re-
quirements can be sold to much better
advantage than by delivering it al
current quotations for futures If re-
ports regarding the demand and the
prices at which sales are being made
in southern spot markets can be be-
lieved
Exports today were $4,000 bales, and
it is said that a large number of YES
sells are already at the gulf ports
awaiting clearance orders or are due
to arrive PRESENTLY, so that the out
look is for large outward move
| ment. This in some extent accounts
| for the easier ruling of foreign ex-
change, as a large number of cotton
bills have been offering lately. De-
mand sterling was 4.13&, and francs
9.11 this afternoon. There is a feel
ing that the decline is due to go fur
