and a hard working man, the loss of
whom the town feels keenly, for he
was one of its best citizens. He was a
steward in the Methodist church and
spent much time in building the
church, especially in the line of music.
Besides his five children, Addie, wife
of George Gardner of Jamaica; Fred
of Northampton, Mass, Hattie, wife of
Noble Rawson; and William J., he
leaves one brother, Russell Aldrich. 49,

his daughter, Mrs. Rawson, Rev. Err
vim {. Clark, pastor of the Methodist

How Do You Care For
 Foods In Your Home?
PART ]

GAfI l.
 What care do you give your food sup ply after it has arrived at your home |? To me that is most important question and one that has a strong bearing on thrift I am more and more impressed in my relations with the great national food producer where food products are handled commercially with minute at tention given to choice, methods of gath ering, care in preparing and scientific accuracy in cooking foods. It has been found necessary to study all these things to insure best quality and economical results. In handling foods commercially a waste in food value augments the cost Of food production and should, therefore, be reduced to the smallest degree.
 How does the great, expert care in the commercial kitchens compare with that generally given food products in the av- craze home?
 The housewife that does her own mar keting must not feel that her task is f1n- ished when she puts her basket on the kitchen table, The food must be prop erly put away and prepared for cooking and serving. The woman who orders by telephone must take care that there is some one at home to receive the pur- chases when delivered, to make sure that that products are all of the quality and brand ordered and to intelligently put them away until the time of using.
 Here are a few elementary rules for

Food Vendors in China

From 'Tales of Chinese Village: Meet ing Spring by William l.. Hall in "s.sia" Magazine.
 Sometime somewhere, someone ordered lithat on a certain day in the year must be observed the solemn function of l"Meeting Spring This Meeting Spring." in mid-winter with the wind blowing at a blizzard rate. the people bundled in their heavy wadded garments, the ground showing, only in spots through the frozen snow. the sun making a feeble effort to break through the cloum masses which overcasts the sky, and the terrible earn estness ct 1t all, presents a strange pie ture for occidental eyes.
 A crowd iii China makes little noise Even the children at play seem wondrous. | ly quiet. All that noise we hear as we approach the east gate is made by ven- dors of things to eat. Be the occasion a wedding, funeral, theatre or Meet ing Spring, these sellers of good things to eat are always at hand. Some of the sellers squat in the doorways. with their array of foods spread out on dirty mats on the ground. Others stand by the way side, dangling toothsome dainties from shoulder poles. and mingle with their calls to eat with the undertone of invita- ton with which the air is filed Hot stoves. set up under rush mats, with shop sticks and bowls all ready, furnish steam ing portions to those who prefer their food hot. Cold relishes. made colder still
 by exposure to the biting winter air. tempt appetites and open cash bays on 'every corner. As the vendors draw cold
 noses from warm sleeves to call their wares the sounds we hear are something
 like this: "Buy pears, 'buy grapes. 2

Over Private Wires
Shannon 2. Co.'S Letter

New York, May 9.-The action of the cotton market today suggests that recent sellers have felt it better to cover their contracts in view of the weather condi- tions, the absence of hedge sales and the fact that their sales have apparently gone into the hands of trade interests where they will remain until the actual cotton is available to replace them. A number of messages have been received complain ing of gnlssy fields and the general run of crop advices lately have by no means
 been satisfactory while trade advices show no sign of any impending change for the worst. Exports for the week so far are l56,oo0 bales including 5000 re- ported today.
 All the information of late points to continued large outward movement which will be in proportion to the extent to which credits and ocean freight room i5 available. We still consider trading position with strong preference for pur- chases on weakness in expectation of much higher prices unless the weather changes decidedly for the better.
 The big turnover in the stock market continues day after day, and the trading today is again at top volume. The oil shares continue to be the favortes, first one issue, and then another lending the procession. Today Mexican Petroleum and Pan-American have been at the front. The steel stocks have been firmer as the pubic has construed as favorable the announcement that there would be an open market in steel products, owing to inability of the i,sil administration to agree with the Industry board on prices There is difference of opinion. how ever. as to how favorable this is, and many think it may produce somewhat protracted and difficult period of ad justment of price in the industry. The market as a whole has gained much mo mentum, Nnd has developed such large speculative interest that it has become more matter of psychology than of business, as after the long pent-up con ditions of the war and under the stimulus of this enormous boom in oil shares be published taken hold of the n,nrKet in a manner not seen for years. Until this has run it's course the market is likely to continue to show the heavy trading and be sfnrp moves in speciaities now long in evidence. but it certainly has be- come a time for a great deal of dscrimi- nation and care.-Post Nnd Flagg

TEXAS SOLDIER IS HERE TO MEET HIS

With Shattered Limb, Texan Leaves Hospital to Greet Men He Fought With-Gives Praise to

Sergt- Amos Watts of Palestine, Tex, fought on the French battlefelds with the Alabama boys and is in Birmingham to meet them again and renew old ac- quaintances.
 Sergeant Watts went to Camp Mills with one of the Texas units, but before going across to France was transferred to the Rainbow division, with which he served until a shell shattered one of his legs. Returned to this country as cas- ual, he was sent to the base hospital at Atlanta, where he is still under treat ment.
 When he read in the papers that the 1s7th regiment would be in Birmingham today he asked and received permission to come to Birmingham and greet them.

 Our market opened about 90 points higher on the first impulse of buying for the rally and bullish weather news over night, but the suspense over poii- tics was a checking factor, particular ly at a weekend. and the market soon eased off on moderate realizing,
 The weekly export figures promise to be bullish, and the ceHsus consumption report on the 14th is coming into con- sideration as bullish factor, It is like ly to reflect the great revival of mill activity by larger consumption figures during April and also show up the item of great reduction in III stocks.
 The map again showed general rains from central Texas to the Atlantic coast, with many heavy rains locally. Reports from south Texas speak of destructive tornadoes with much dam age to crops from hail. Indications are for partly cloudy in the western half, but further rains in north Mississippi, north Alabama, Tennessee and the Att lanticS where the rain disturbance will pass through.
 The spot market is quieter. Demand probably held up, the same as in con- tracts. waiting for some clearing news on politics.
 There was good support to the mar ket during the late trading and prices held their gain to the close. After rang. ing within limit of 36 points for July, 49 for October and AS for Decem- Der options the market closed steady at top figures; showing a net gain for the day of 53 points for July, 65 for October. 69 for December and 66 for January

 Interior spot markets are steady at unchanged to 40 points up with fair business done.
 Late positions are beginning to at tract attention, the weather being of a mixed character with conditions to day rather unfavorable.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. May 9.--The market this morning found Liverpool sharply high- CT, and there was a corresponding ad1 vance here in response to these cables Heavy rains were reported in the cen- tral belt, and it was thought that they might extend to the Atlantic states. where they would be unfavorable. The weather attracted sufficient outside buying to bring about a slow advance on which the local traders covered freely. October selling well over 25 cents before the early afternoon. The market was not active, but it is very sensitive to any suggestion of bad weather for the new crop, as it is we'll recognized that short crop another season would be a serious matter. We do not think that the trade buying to- day was in any very large volume- Hubbard Bros. & Co.
