Duggan & Bouden


 New Orleans, November 15.-A reaction ary tendency has prevailed in the cotton market this week and a great deal of liquidation has been accomplished. There is no doubt that this greatly improves the technical position of the market,
 The second halt of the week. selling mainly resulted from unfavorable devel- opmsnts in the money market and this caused much nervousness and pessimisnl, having its effec1 in both stocks and cot ton.
 Such was the trend of events that the cold wave which swept the belt, bringing frost and freezing weather with it and definitely ending the growing season in all sections, had no effect whatever on values.
 At the moment there is great uncertain ty as to how the money situation will affect holding of spot cotton and possi- bly, the immediate course of the market depends more on the outcome of this situation than any other factor.-Duggan & Bouden.

four attempts before 1 got over. One
stopped me. Then tried to get pass
age as a stewardess and l was stopped
again. Next time I went to South

Then l cut my hair short and got
a suit of sailors clothes. I walked on

and asked for a job. They gave me a
place as coal passer."
She removed her wig at the record

like mans although she was wearing

been cooking for sailors on ships

pleaded. I'll take anything you want

WORK-PLAY

The true pleasure of play is a relaxation from
work.
tons
Play is a contrast from work.
Work is a contrast from play.
We may use as much physical and mental effort
in play in the work of earning living yet after
the play return rested to work.
One is relaxation from the other.
All play and work, and play becomes dssi-
patton.
All work and play, and we become stale.
Absolute idleness no activity at all, is degenera
And it is very easy to understand why there is
rest relaxation in a of actvities-even with
the amount of effort.
While at work set of brain cells and muscles
active, while at play another set of brain cells
and muscles active.
One set is resting while the other is working.
Eight hours of work, eight hours of play and
eight hours of sleep is the commonly accepted rule.
Activity during the hours of both work and play
is not harmful providing it is in contrast
The hours of sleep the only ones needed for
absolute inactivity-complete relaxation
We would be better balanced people if those
with physical occupation were to take up mental
activity. and those of mental occupations were to
take up physical activity during the hours common
ly allotted to play.
That is to say-let the store bank and news
paper workers play DaSeDall ana 40 garden work.
Let the mill workers and outdoor mechanics spend
portion of their off time in reading pure
mental effort.
AS matter of fact the physical workers have
certain advantage the mental workers for the
development Of their minds along any desired lines.
The mental worker his mind during all his
hours of work; his mind is usually too tired for
further effort during the hours of play.
The physical workers mind is fresh for the
hours of playhe use it, develop it during leisure
periods.
And all on the law of rest relaxation, in con-
trasting occupations.

were indeed "all dressed up" wishing
to be heard, but with nothing to say
The signatures are R. ]. O'Hanlon, 7
H. Bell and Geo. o. Ford. Each of
these gentlemen diagnoses Ireland's
troubles and propounds his remedy
with an air of dogmatic authority. But
all three doctors differ. Mr.. O'Hanlon
counsels sympathy, compassion and
love for England for she knows nct
what she does. Then behold Mag
dellen England will anoint the tester
ing wounds of Ireland with gold frank
encense and myrrh. President Wilson,

public IN the south where, the negro
is deprived of MS rights as a citizen

An Overthrow On PAPER

So long the overthrow of the troops, the rep
resentatives of order and the majesty govern
ment at Gary, Indiana, is attempted only by the cir
culaton of unsigned hand bills the nation need not
tremble in the balance long as the Communist
Party In America" is afraid to disclose its identity
the rest of need be afraid of it. Anonymity is
a coward wherever it is found
We do not think the strikers against the Gary
steel plants at the bottom of this foolish proposal
dictatorship Of the workers" There may be some
of them, undoubtedly there some of them igsor-
ant and anarchstic foreigners who would like to
overthrow not only the troops at Gary but the gov
eminent of the United States. But not the American
workers. to them one kind of dictatorship is as bad
as another.
Whatever the troops may be doing at Gary they
doing for the steel for the strikers
but for the law which must be supreme capital
and labor over employer and employe The law pro-
hibits violence. If the steel becomes violent it
will feel the weight of the troops and the same thing
will happen to the strikers who become violent.
We think if the truth was known that the men
behind this cowardly hand bill are not workers and
have been workers; that they constitution
ally to work for work is opposed to anarchy
and disorder.
Anyway, hope that they will not confine their
get them nowhere. We should like to see them come
out and overthrow the troops at Gary by force
and not by paper and ink
