Community Markets
COTTON MARKET

New York, Oct. 9.--At the opening OF
the cotton market October was 8 points
higher, but other months were down
8 to 81 points under active selling,
based on ideal fall weather conditions
and continued pessimistic reports from
textile circles, perhaps the worst OF the
year.
The South was a seller early, but
Liverpool and trade interests pur-
chased.
There were occasional rallies during
the late morning, but In the second hour
the prices were at about the lowest
level. Reports Of increased offerings
from farmers. both in Texas and the
Atlantics, and the reactionary tendency
in the grain and stock markets checked
speculative buying Of any account.

did not fight for the United States.
 There seemed to be only one way out, so this hero, one of many who endured a worse fate than death in battle, committed, suicide. Hundreds of thousands of maimed soldiers in Europe are dragging themselves painfully about in quest of liveli- hood, some without arms, others with out legs, still others blinded or horri- bly, disfigured. Millions of children are orphans. Millions of women are widows. No one knows how many hearts have been broken by the accu- mulated sorrows that followed the war, such as this pathetic story from Chicago.
 It is these isolated instances which plead for a League of Nations, for something that will make war, at least on colossal scale, impossible in the future.
