DISCIPLES MAKE
FINANCE DRIVE
Christian Church Of This City Plans
to Reach Every Home Repre-
scented In Congregation In
Finance Canvass.

The First Christian church will
make their every-member canvass
drive for finances Sunday afternoon.
All plans have been perfected look
ing forward to this drive, and it is
expected to be the most successful
in the history of the local congrega-
ton.
Fourteen teams have been select
ed, consisting of two members each
Territory for each team has been
assigned and will cover the entire
city. Each team will cover the por-
ton of the city assigned to it and
will report the results OF the can
vass, which will be made public at
the evening service at the church
Before the canyassers start on
their work, they are to sit about a
luncheon table which is being pre-
pared by the women of the church.
During the luncheon the canvassers
are to receive their final instruc-
lions from the pastor and are to con-
slider the best methods possible for
the drive. AS feature to stimulate
the men in making the drive, a spe-
cial speaker has been secured in the
person of J. @. Thomas. Rev. Huell
Warren, the pastor, referring to the
drive, said:
Il believe our people are ready for
this drive. This last year they re-
sponded to a great emergency drive
exceeding their quota by about fifty
per cent. besides paying off not a
small Indebtedness that had accumu-
lated during the last three years. No

Those In Kcokuk Heartily Approve
Movement by United States
Commissioner of
Education.

DO you think that will go through,
and how long win it take?" asked a
Keokuk school teacher this morning,
holding out clipping of dispatch
from Washington which said:
Doubling the salaries of public
school teachers within the next five
years and an addition of fifty per
cent before another ten years have
passed, so that the minimum average
salary for teachers would be $1,000.
was the program urged by Commits
sioner of Education Claxton in a
statement today.
Teachers are now paid less for
their work than any other class of
workers. said the commissioner,
"and the increase of pay in the last
few years has nowise been in pro-
portion with the advance of other
wages and the increased cost of liv-
ing"

There is no other clue and the play
furnishes most thrilling entertain

The Grand had numerous Inquiries
yesterday, but when the box office
opened this morning only one man
appeared. The others had thought
it over, apparently. Harry Kelley of
S23 South Fourth street, received the
free ticket and just for company,
purchased ticket for No. IL SO that
his wife might also see the show.
No colored persons applied at the

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

NeW 4ork, February 4.-CableS this morning were better than due, and ou, market opened atsquite sharp advance
 here. There was heavy realizing from recent buyers and some selling by the local trade, which remain very bearish. The market lost part of the early ad vance, but in the late afternoon was steady some 20points up from last nights price. The consumption figures published this morning are astonishing large in viev, of the reports of labor difficulties ant shutdowns which have come to hand since the first of the year. It is difficult to say whether there is an actual change in sentiment or not, but the necessity Of buying some goods has evidently lea ! to more business passing in the mills than had been believed possible. The revision of lower grades downward in the various southern markets continued, Memphis today marking good ordinary 1000 points under middling. Of course, this is a continued strengthening of the New York contract. We should say that local sentiment, however, is still bearish and as yet there is no speculative ac- tiVity,

Bradstreet' s Review
By Associated Press

New York, February 14.-Brai- streets tomorrow will say: Trading advices are a shade more cheerful, the movement of peace time industries out side of textile lines is trifle faster and collections are bit better. These statements, of course, must be taken with knowledge of the fact that the buying, especially of wearing apparel at wholesale, is conservative and not equal to that of a year ago; that rain and snow the country over has check ed country trade and marketing of products. especially of corn and hoSs in the west; that lower cotton prices discouraged southern buying and pro- mote talk of a crop area reduction; that a great meny textile mill hands are striking or otherwise idle pending the settlement of the shorter week is- sue and that the number of unemployed is larger owing mainly to the continu- ed release of men from the army.
 The key to the whole situation seeins still to be the matter of prices, and here two great industries. textile manufacturing and steel production, are alike sufferers. though dissimilar in this. that while steel mills run ming full in some instances and eating into the backlog of thrilled orders, the supplies of textiles are certainly not being increased greatly by the short time ruling.

Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Press

New York, February 14-Afte- sellins off to 19.SOc for May deliveries on Mon. day, the cotton market turned firmer on reports of improving labor conditions Tn domestic mill centers, renewed talk oi increasing export probabilities, the appearance of a moderate demand from Liverpool and continental trade interests, and covering by recent sellers. The buv- ing was stimulated later by unexpectedlv large domestic consumption figures for January and May contracts sold at 2l.S5c during today's trading, or more than slo bale above the low level of the week.
 mere were rumors early in the week that the French government had modi- fled restrictions on the cotton trade to permit private firms to import 100000 bales of cotton per month for five months beginning with May.
 These rumors were not confirmed hut they were followed by buying of May contracts here by people with French con nections.
 spanish and Italian interests were also mentioned ip connection with some seat tered trade buying of new crop deliveries and there was a considerable demand rom Liverpool, a good part of which was attributed to undoing straddles
 Southern selling continued during the early stages of the advance, but was less in evidence during todays trading and discounts on the low grades have shown a further increase This has led to corresponding widening of the diff ferences between high and low grades as applied to deliveries on New York con tracts which local merchants regard as strengthening the value of the contract compared with midding cotton. Possibly some of the buying has been based on the situation in this respect, but local brokers have attributed the bulk of the demand to covering by shorts after tn. break into new low ground for the sea- son on new crop months.
 The census report today showed do- nestle mill consumption of 556 79l bales for January, compared with -~3l1 for December and 5239i7 for January last year.
 Exports for the week showed a slight Increase over last year, but the move. nient is considered disappointing as com pared with old bullish predictions and southern shippers are said to be com plaining' that they cannot find freight room at the rates recently announced by the shipping board.

NO REDUCTION IN
 SUMMER CLOTHING
Statement Issued by Manufacturers Points Out Reasons for the
 Present Prices

Conditions are such that there will be
 no reduction in the prices of summer
 clothes this season, according to an nouncement made by some of the leading ] manufacturers.
 1 Last November it was pointed out that any reductions for this season were im- practicable for the following reasons: 1 That since prices had been made at ] the opening of the selling season. the palm beach and other mills making stan l dard summer clothing fabrics had ad- vanced their prices.
 i That these mills had explained condi- tions underlying cost of production which made it impossible to reduce their pres l ent prices, and announced that these prices would be guaranteed for the sea- l son.
 ] A supplementary, statement on the sub 1 Ject has just been issued which reads: 1 We feel that it is desirable at this 1 time to reiterate what was said to you 1 in our previous communication: Summer clothing fabrics are not be ] ing offered today at any reduction in 1 price.
 'The manufacturers have generally been confronted with increased labor cost and shorter hours, and while the guarantee of their respective prices by ] the summer clothing Manufacturers gave
 
 | 1t is desirable to again advise you that there will be no reduction during the current season in their summer clothing prices by the undersigned manufactur- CTS.
 Tt must be clearly understood that this announcement does not represent any ef- fort on the part of the manufacturers to maintain prices, but is merely reflec- 1 ton of active market and production conditions in the summer clothing busi- ness
