Groves gave to the Chaminade Club
an enthusiastic and valuable member
in the person of Mrs. Rodes. In the
second year of her utilization with the
Chaminade Club she was elected Vice
President of the organization, hold
ing that office for two years. Then
she was made President and is now
serving the second term in that ca
pacity. Having reached this elevation
in local musical circles, it was but a
step to the Heights of the Presidency
of the Federated Musical Clubs Of
Missouri.
Mrs. Rodes is a home-maker in the
truest sense of the word. Although
a woman of talent she is never too
occupied to hearken unto the councils
of the husband; nor to ignore the well
fare of the young daughter just leav-
ing the walls of the university to enter
into her sphere in life; o to give
heed to the needs of the young son
yet in his teens and vigorously inter
ested in the why and the wherefore OF
all about him; nor does she neglect
the mother whose birthday she jour.

sharp setbacks took place in prices for
grain and provisions Thursday. Corn
dropped nearly 6 cents a bushel to
$1.63b, December delivery, and pork
more than 81 a barrel.
Rains which would tend to benefit
thecorn crop had much to do with the
declines, and so likewise did announce
ment of an embargo on coarse grain
shipments to New York. Particular
notice, too, was taken of reports from
Washington about efforts to cut the
cost of living.

vantage of the situation could
have bought enough spot to cover
their short contracts. But times
have changed, The campaign
waged by the American Cotton
Association, showing the farmer
where his interest lies, how he
can and should warehouse his
cotton, has been the potent factor
in bringing about this change.
Spot cotton had a certain fixed
value based on supply and de-
mand, and this value was not af-
fected in the slightest degree by
the fury in future contracts.
The condition which caused the
fury in futures could not affect
the strong position of the spot
market, which withstood The vici.
Gus assaults.
To profit by this experience. 10
make it possible for spot cotton
to always assert its strong posi-.
ton aud withstand the assaults of
adverse interest, it is necessary
to perfect and make invincible,
the organization of the American
Cotton Association. This pro-
cess is under way now, and is
meeting with a splendid response
from all over the State who know
the value of unity, but it will be
necessary to spread this unity
gospel into all the highways and
byways of the cotton belt to bring
about permanence. Every man
of affairs in the South is wanted
in this organization, whether he
has any direct interest in cotton
or not. Living and having his
business in the South, no matter
how remote he may be from cot.
ton, he is nevertheless affected
by its welfare, and be should put
his shoulder to the wheel to pro.
tect it.

Spot Market.

There was a wonderfully effec-
live illustration of the power of
united effort, as typified by the
American Cotton Association,
when certain conditions brought
about a small panic in cotton fu-
lures on November 18th, but the
price Of spot cotton remained at a
normal level, was unaffected by
The fury, and brought about a re.
covery in the future market al.
most as rapid as the decline.
The condition was brought
about by the Governor of the
Federal Reserve Bank who notif-
id the New York bankers to call
shalt on unbridled speculation.
The banks did so by putting up
The rate on call money. The
speculators were thrown in apan.

Our Allies in the Near East
By CnARLEs EVANS HuonEs

Probably at no time in the history OF the world
have there been SO many fatheress and mother
less children as there are today. Tens OF thous-
ands, probably hundreds OF thousands in Ar
menia Syria, Caucasus, Persia, Mesopotamia
and Palestine are not only without parents, but
are without any strong parental government to
give them the help and protection which orphan
children OF other lands enjoy.
American ConsulS and missionaries cable
the American Committee for Relief in the Near
East, almost daily regarding the situation One
message from the Russian Caucasus pleads for
the support OF 10000 children at an average
expense OF two dollars per month per child
Another from Tihs reports 10000 children in
one region waiting for an answer TO previous
cabegram requesting help. Reports from other
points indicate similar conditions. Among the
many appeals II is possible for this committee to
assume responsibility for only the most pressing
cases, and II is upon these that the committee
would focus the attention of the American peo-
pie. Splendid help has been rendered the little
ones in other lands, but these in Western Asia
are no less human than those who have already
been aided by American charity Ii is the duty
OF Americans, as well as a privilege TO respond
to this great opportunity and help keep alive the
best civilization that Western Asia hss developed
All expenses OF administration for this relief
are privately met so that every dollar sent to the
committee is used directly by their agents in
purchasing food and supplies for the needy who
according to the best advices and from audited
reports, receive the full benefit Of the funds sent
them
Out OF the horror and nightmare through
which these people have passed comes the crafty
ing word that we can be of assistance that our
efforts will prove availing and that we can share
with these orphan children the bounty which we,
as Americans have enjoyed for years. The work
done by this committee has been most unselfsh
and effective under conditions of great personal
sacrifice. May America respond 10 their appeals

Highway Engineer Of
St. Anthony Talks
COmmends Bingham County for Fine
Spirit of PrOgressiyeness in
Forging Ahead With Work
THINKS THIS COUNTY is LEADER

Lieut.. Judson T. Wells, a highway
engineer from St. Anthony, visited
Bingham county this week and after
going over some of our new roads
he said we have grades and road base
to be proud Of, and he believed, very
economically built.
He was much impressed with our
plan Of putting the culverts down to
grade and encasing the stream iI
steel tubes cased in heavy shell of
concrete good for centuries. The
settling basins at each end designed
to stop all the wash of sediment, and
the steel to cut off seepage, he says
ought to make it possible to preserve
every feature of the culvert for all
time.
Mr.. Wells commented on the fact
that Bingham county is doing every
type of construction likely to be
found in any of the agricultural
counties, and with such fine fleet of
trucks and complete equipment to
carry all of the work forward at
once, he was not surprised that
county commissioners and county
clerks from other counties are COM
ing here from every direction to see
what is being done and how we are
doing it. He predicts that Bingham
will be known as leader among the
counties of Idaho that forged to the
front early with modern equipment
and accomplished much in the face
of high prices and scarcity of labor.
