A woman can forgive a husband for
almost anything, except-dishonesty.
Square dealing between husband and
wife, believe. is the cornerstone OF
martial success. The most essential
single quality in the makeup of an
ideal husband I should say is-hon-
esty
A man may be bad-tempered, impa-
tlent. grouchy-all these things, bad as
they may be In helping TO spoil mari
tai existence, a woman can forgive II
necessary, but no self-respecting woman
can forgive dishonesty. BY honesty /
mean not only integrity In his deal
ings with other men. and consequently
a good name to pass down to his chill
dren. but also honesty in his dealings
with her. A woman who feels that when
her husband looks her in the eye and
tells her a thing, she can depend upon
that thing as absolutely true, has OBJ
tanned a husband worth having. If l
were called upon 10 name the single
polnt in a husband more essential than
any other, / should say honesty is
that one.

Jhone.
Joan Makepeace was the name given
TO the daughter Of Edward II when the
long war with the Bruces was partly
pacifled by her marriage. Another
famous Joan was Joan Beaufort, the
maiden romantically beloved by the
captive James ]. As his widow, she
so fercely revenged his death, II will
be recalled.
Curiously enough, Hannah is derived
from Joan through the German favorite
peasant name, Johanna. Hannah, how
ever, is purely English. For a time,
Joan, favorite name OF queens, lost
vogue in England and descended to the
cottage and kitchen. IL became the
clan name for domestics. and in this
day of servant problems, one might
well understand how IL came TO mean
gift OF the Lord"
Joan's tallsmanic Jewel Is the hello
trope or bloodstone. II is an Opaque
stone, deep green in color. and sprlnked
with red Jasper as with blood. il
promises staunch affection and true
love for the wearer, whose lucky day
is Saturday and whose mustlc number
Is four.

gathers around the pan, chanting the

SMALLEST VISIBLE

Oats Make Big Jump. While Provision List Went From 22c to FOG Gains Over
 Monday
EV Associated Prexs

Chicago, December 2.-Fresh advances in the corn market today resulted largely from the fact that receipts here were diminishing fast and that the visible sup ply total was one of the smallest on record.
 Prices closed strong, 2h to SS4 cents net higher with December Sl.411s to $l.4l$s. and May SL35s to $l.S51a. Oats gained "A to 25s cents, and provisions 22 to 70 cents.
 1t did not take long for the corn market to respond to the scarcity of supplies and to the indications that owing to shortage of coal and to lack of sufficient cars no adequate enlargement of arrivals here this month seemed probable. Although at the start some hesitancy was shown be- cause oi several breaks in foreign eN- change and also because of lower quota tions on hogs, corn prices soon began to move rapidly upgrade. Bullish sentiment was further emphasized by gossip that the Edge bill to finance foreign business might become a law this week. Comrn1S- sion house buying. which was especially. active in the last half hour, made nnaI prices the topmost of the session
 Oats developed independent strength helped by estimates that export sales amounted to 1.50c,000 bushels.

DECEMBER COTTON IS STILL NEW YORK MARKET FEATURE General List Closed Firm at a Net Advance of 5 to

New York. December 1.-The strength of December was the feature in the cotton market again todSy. Shorts evidently saw little prospect of deliveries in sufficient volume to cause any material decline, and appeared to ind very few contracts for sale. It did not require great deal of buying consequently to send the price up to 39-Ioc, or 125 points above the closing quotation of yesterday. which, of course established new high record for futures in New York.
 That delivery closed at g roc. with the general list closing firm at a net advance of 55 to 120 points.
 The market opened firm at an advance of 10 to b0 points on a renewal of yeSter- days buying movement, which was stimulated by relatively firm cables. the settlement of labor troubles at Fall River and bulish overnight spot advices. There was realizing enough to cause reactions of b or U points during the middle of the day, out the strength of the spot month dominated the situation, and the best prices were reached in the late trading, when January sold at SIC; March at 3oc and May at 33.25c, or 65 to S5 points net higher. Liverpool was a big buyer ot March and later deliveries during the first hour and was believed to be reducing accounts. owing to the failure of cotton to move toward New York, the increas- ing stock at Liverpool and expectations of easier freight.

W. E. Campbell & Co.'S Cotton Lett

". F.. Campbell & Co.'s Cotton Letter
 With a better Liverpool than due, our market opened about 10 points up from the previous close.
 The opening proved to be the low for the day. There was steady buying throughout the session. but at no time was it a yer yactive affair. The market continued to make new high levels and closed at the very highest of the day, March losing 35.s50s5.SSc.
 December in New York seems to be the deciding factor in this market, it sold as high as S9.75c, the highest on record, and it looks as if the holders of long December are holding the bears feet to the fire, and when the shorts try to cover they find the price bid up on them English sterling was again marked down to 3.95, the lowest for quite time. Thes coal situation is stild very bad and there is no news of encouragement from the Mexican mud dle. We strongly advise taking profits on long cotton on these bulges and meeting all hard spots with sales.-W E. Campbell & Go.
