WILSON VICTORY
B0OMS MARKET
Street Believes League Will
Make World Safe for
Investor.
Nv HROADAN WALL.

New York, Feb. 14.-StockS were
strong today under leadership OF tn.
oils, tobaccos and some OF the steels.
The reason for this optimism was
the growing belief that the world is
not to fall under the rule OF an
archy. but that the council at PARIS
will bring about universal peace.
The victory of President Wilson
with his league of nations is consid-
cred by the financial world as a
matter OF tremendous value to in
vestors. especially American in
vestors.
In the market today Royal Dutch
and Mexican petroleum were the
stocks that attracted most atten-
tion. Royal Dutch is believed to be
owner of a large block of Mexican
Pete stock and the simultaneous ad-
vance @; these two issues was look
ed upon as partial confirmation.
Southern Pacific also moved up
rather sharply. this being due to
a belief that the Mexican troubles
were about to ba settled. Private
reports coming from Paris state
that the Mexican problem will be
settled earlier than the general
public has expected. II settled soon
it viii be very important factor
in the market for the stocks of the
companies having properties in
Mexico. not only the oils, but South
ern Pacific and American Smelling.
Tobaccos Popular.

ate. the Philip Morris Company.

stockholders at 81 a share sold up

rights on Tobacco Products worth

not respond until well in the day
when just before the close IT sud
denly advanced to s.. new high
record. and closed there United
Cigar Stores sold up three points on
the carly trading. but lost about
half of the advance.
Hide and leather preferred made
another new high record. The short
interest is very large in this stock
and there is reasonable expectation
of important earnings within the
next few years.
General Motors was strong in the
early trading but lost it's advance
showing only a small fractiona
gain.
Some important commission houses
believing that the end OF the down.
Ward trend has been reached. were

opinion that steel prices wouIC

STAID EUNICE.

Eunice. La, Mar. 24.-Let out
the hens. girls! The reform May
or of Eunice is setting the styles!
One of the most fashionable
dress makers reports that she has
been having trouble in regard to
the length of dresses among her
patrons, until recently she had to
exert all her influence to let her
make their dresses "long enough
to comply with common decen-
cy, but now she cannot make
them long enough. The patrons
insist that dresses be even longer
than present styles demand she
declares. Upon investigation, she
obtained the information that
during his campaign, Mayor Elect
Dudley Berwick Stated among
other things, that if elected he
would see that women who parad-
ed the streets of Eunice at all
hours would lengthen their dress
es or be kept off the streets.

saving to the growers by the mill

have been restored? This rate IS
worth 25 cents a barrel Of rice

"These are only a few of the
reasons for being loyal to the or

is sufficient to make the farmer
see that the six and a half cents a
barrel paid for the privileges Of
belonging to the Association comes
a long way from being donation.

the Food Administration reeula-

ed in competition with imported
rice from the Orient. And the
big lesson that this official reeula-
ton should teach is that it was
only because it was handled and
controlled under one head that
the results have been obtained
the past year.
The same results can be obtain
ed by the organization that have
been obtaining by the Food Adj
ministration-if the growers
stand united. The Association
can set the prices of rough rice
If they have a strong united men,
bership they will get those prices.
Nothing can keep them from it.
Isn't this a much better prospect
than having the trade set the
price Of clean rice and the farmer
taking what is offered him ?
Through the Association, prices
are based on the supply and de.
mand. If the supply is short they
are entitled to higher price. and
they can get it. But it means

free-but there are always a few.
Let them ride : They will see
