Nobody listened in on the telephone.
Folks said pneumatic tires were a

Nobody cared for the price of gaso'

Strawsticks were burned instead Of
baled.

MY sEyENTY.FOURTH BIR1gDAY

(By R. A. Ward.)
Another year Of Borrowed sme'
Is numbered with the silent past
The record of its joys ana TEARS
Will only be revealed at last.
7 cannot change an item there,
Nor wash away single stain
Although there are some entries
made,
7 would not like to see again
And so. I hope, that ere the seal
Was placed upon the fleeting year
NV guardian angel was allowed
TO blot its pages with a tear;
That when the record shall appear
It may be free from blot ana stain )
That only actions, pure and gooo'
May be permitted to remain.

The ruling by the bureau of mar
kets that all outstanding interest in
old style contracts must be liquidated
on May L, caused an extremely active
and excited opening in the cotton mar
ket this morning. There was a rush
by both longs and shorts in old style
months to close out their accounts or
transfer them into new style deliv-
cries and fluctuations were extremely
irregular. although the net changes
were not sensational, as orders were
pretty we'll divided The opening was
irregular at an advance of 40 to a de-
cline Of 20 points on old style, while
new style months were % points
higher to 80 points lower. Later active
old style deliveries ruled about to
Is points net higher and new style
months about unchanged to 40 points
higher with the premium Of some 35
to 63 points over the old style deliv-
cries Old style May held around 2140
compared with 1900 for the new style
months.
Trading continued active late in the
morning and the attention of the trade
still seemed to be monopolized by the
effort to even up old style contracts or
switch into new style months. In a gen
era1 way. however. the tone Of the
arket was steady on reports of smaller
southern spot offerings and a better
tone in the goods trade with the old
style contracts ruuing about Z to 20
points and the new style 10 to 80 point
net higher around midday.

Abiding to the skepticism with
which the plan for a league of nations
first was received, the President said
that as the peace negotiations proceed
ed it became apparent to all the dele
gates that such concert was "a prac-
teal necessity" demanded by "all the
peoples of the world" For the United
States to reject 1t, he asserted, would
break the heart of the world" Point
ing out that many minor compromises
were necessary to secure the support
Of all the interested nations, he con-
tinued:
"The treaty, as result, is not ex-
actly what we would have written. 1t
is probably not what any one of the
national delegations would have writ
ten. But results were worked out
which on the whole bear test. | think
that it will be found that the com
promises which were accepted as in
evitable nowhere cut to the heart of
any principle"
President Given Ovation.
President Wilson was given an
ovation when he entered the Senate
chamber and when he concluded the
reading of his address, but he was
not interrupted during the reading,
Senators, diplomats and the crowded
gallery following him closely.
After concluding his address the
President formally presented the
treaty to the Senate and the Official
copy was Immediately referred to the
Foreign Relations Committee and
rushed to the printer in order that it
might be in the Senators hands in the
shortest possible time. Fifty thousand
copies of the treaty and the Presi-
dents address were ordered printed
by the Senate.
Confers With Senator'S.
After concluding his address the
President went to his room near the
Senate chamber, where he remained
nearly an hour receiving Senators and
Representatives and discussing the
treaty with many of them. Reasons
actuating the Peace Conferees on
many important subjects were said to
have been disclosed by the President.
All Precedents Are Shattered.
The far-reaching proposals Of the
League covenant, praised on the one
hand as signaling new era of world
brotherhood and condemned on the
other as marking the end of national
ism, were submitted in appropriate
setting at session annulling many
presidents of Senate procedure. 1t
was the first time President has
presented treaty in person, and the
first time message of presentation
had &een received with the Senate's
doors open to the public.
