P. D. Burgers Letter

New Orleans. July 15.-Contrary to gen. eral expectations private crop advices in- dicate that the crop is not making sat isfactory progress notwithstanding the more favorable weather of the past two weeks, due to damage by weevils.
 The last of semi-monthly private crop reports was issued today. that of the Watkins bureau, New York. placing the average condition of cotton at S.S, against their report of 6S9 at the close of June, when the government reported 70, which indicated yield of 1O,9S6, 900 bales exclusive of linters Returns to the Watkins are to the effect that there is enormous destruction by the weevil.
 Traders were disposed to believe that much of the bullish features were about discounted by the steady rise of the new crop values to the 35-cent level, but if the crop is not to improve with good weather owing to the activity of weevils there is little prospect of market declining very much now that the blockade against Germany has been lifted.
 Although consumption for June in the United States was smaller than for cor responding month last year, the outlook is encouraging for domestic consumption to increase since the number of active spindles in America June 20 was the larg- est on record, 33,943,000 against 33,556 900 at the close of May, and 8, 900 at the end of June last year, having increased SS7 900 the past month.

over the sharp edges of car tracks, and with wheels out of alignment The ex- perts show you how to l6ok after your tires from day to day which will save your tires. prevent more than half the punctunres and almost double your present mileage.
 It is expected that this will be the last day of this tire demonstration. If you are the owner of an automobile you have got to buy tires, and if you are interested Tn the economical upkeep of your car, dcn't fail to attend today. The demonstrat.cn starts at this morning until this evening. If there are any questions you want to ask about the manufacture of tires or the care of tires the experts will be glad to answer you correctly. This exhibition is for your benefit and if you neglect to attend to- day you will probably loose money on the upkeep of your tires, for very few motorists know how to properly care for their tires. which is one of the most i'm portant parts of the car. If you are 20 mites on the country road and have tire trouble, you can partly blame yourself. This will not occur if you attend the demonstration today and learn some of the good things that most of the large tire manufacturers have spent thousands of dollars to learn themselves. The op= pcrtunity is here for you today, and why not take advantage of 1t.

wars are permitted to recur from time to time the human race will suffer tre- mendous losses.
 The hope of the race is necessarily centered in it's youth. War produces the most wasteful destruction of the young manhood of the nations. I am for any arrangement, contract. treaty or what not that will save the young manhood of the world from wanton and useless destruction, or that makes promise of bringing about such re- suits
 Whether it will actually put a stop to wars is for the future years to de- eide, but certainly the leagu will ac- eide, but certainly the league will ac- is given fair chance. It is too big a question to be subjected to petty or party politics. It is an international covenant and carries with it too much that is vital to the progress of man. kind to be influenced or affected by little things.
 'I believe that most thoughtful per sons of my race favor the league of nations, not only for what it may hold for the smaller nations and backward races of the world, but for the gem eral good 1t portends for all the civ tlized peorles of the earth.
 Adopt the league of nations, thon take the prophetic dream of old Joel and transmit it to the coming millions. Hear him.
 Tell ye your children of 1t, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation"

TRIO OF STELLAR HURLERS

Among the semipro baseball teams
this season that are offering the highest

Budd club. former champions of the
Suburban League. The BudG nine for
number of seasons was topnotcher
in the ''little' leagues, but this year
decided to play Independently and has
possibly the best club that ever repre-

The team is controlled by eleven men,
all in charge of Leo I. Heintz, the works

committee, which at the very outset Sc :

Williams, Eddie Kite Frank Hoffman,
Dick Spalding and-a trio of star siabmen
in George Kinzel, Eddie Bariess and
Bill McKenty. Heinie Beale is in charge
of the receiving end.
The .Budd team has played three
games to date, and has been successful
in two, losing its last game on Saturday

The defeat handed out by the Tigers
in Detroit yesterday ended one of the
most disastrous trips ever taken by the
Mackmen in their swing around Boston

games were scheduled and eleven played.
Nine of the eleven resulted in defeats.
Poor Start In Boston

was played. due to rain and cold
weather. Then the hop to st. Louis

playing again almost week had elapsed

White Sox in the first game. Only two
other contests were decided, and both
of them went to the Gleason set.
Cleveland proved to be another city

to function in three of the scheduled
four games despite the rain. All three
of them were defeats.
