New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, Apr: 22.-A buying movement that was wholly uneXpcct- ed made it's appearance in cotton to- day and q prolonged rise in prices resulted during the course of which much of the short cotton put out on the breaks of yesterday was covered. The market held it's firmncss until late in the session. The close was at gains for the session of 339 to 6l points. Anxiety over continued drouthy conditions in Texas and Oklahoma and the forecasts of show CTS for the eastern half of the belt generally which has long suffered from excessive moisture, were, at least, the surface reasons for the ad- vance.
 The opening gave no hint Of the strength to come later and after the opening market was irregular. some months being at slight gains and others at slight losses.

$1OO, 100000 Home Building Company,
 is Chicago Plan

Chicago, April 22.-Ths city is at tempting to prevent rent profiteer- ing by regulating increases in rates and by organizing a $100,000,O00 cor pora tion to build homes and sell them on easy payments. Meanwhile Chicagos flat dwellers have been forming unions to wage war on al- legged profiteering landlords and committees in the city council have been Investigating increases in rents ranging up to 100 and even 200 per cent.
 Several hundred families have solved their individual housing prob lens by making their homes in house-boats moored in the branches of the Chicago river, the Calumet and lakes in south Chicago. Once in possession of house boat, the owner only has to pay $1 month for the privilege of mooring his craft. If he does not like his loca- tion he can move his home boat else where. Many of these boats cost $1,- 900 each and have five rooms, par Tor, dining room, kitchen and two bedrooms.
 In some cases groups of tenants have solved the rent problem by forming cooperative companies and buying the apartment houses in which they live.
 l. The housing corporation, which has been financed by banks and bus mess men, has under considera tion a plan to build row of model homes in Grant Park, on the lake front Examples of many types of standard ized homes would be erected, fur nishcd and surrounded by settings of trees and shrubbery so that pros pective purchaser of new home could look over the styles before placing his order.
 Attempts have been made to check rent profiteering by cooperation of the city council and the Cook county Real Estate Board which investigat- ed complaints and, when increases were found to be excessive, advised the landlord to withdraw his dc mands. In general the investigators have allowed an increase of about 90 per cent over last years rentals | A proposal was made to erect scores of portable houses but the carpenters union declared it's oppo- sition to that plan even if the houses i came from union factories. The recent tornadoes which de- stroycd 100 houses and damaged 40l more in Chicago and it's suburbs have augmented housing shortage which had already become acute thru suspension of building operations in the war and longdrawn builders contracts.

which was taken out by the Germans has been returned to us," added M. Jaspar. "The money taken by the Germans from the Belgium treasury has been returned but Belgium has thusfar received no indemnity from Germany.
 At the beginning of the armistice 80O,00O of our people were without work. Our recovery has been made in spite of the fact that more than onc-half of the Belgians who had to flee before the Germans arc still in France unable to return because they have no homes here"
 Belgian villages destroyed in the war are being rebuilt, said M Jaspar. In the district of Ypres IS villages have been restored to such an extent that local administration has been resumed. "If the United States would do for Belgium what she has just done for Poland, establish credit for her, most of our problems would be solved" declared the Minister of Economies.

SECURE BIG sum
AT BENEFIT DANCE
Sheepmen and Cattle
men Contest for
Supremacy

Thursday night witnessed great
sport at Sterling, Idaho, on the &C.
casion of the base ball dance. A pie
supper was slated, and a box of
candy scoring for popular ladies was
on sale. The committee had hopes
of making 500 or so, and it was to
be expended to further base ball mat
tiers in the community, but they had
to raise their sites to keep up with
events.
When the sheepmen and the cat
tlemen got to bidding against each
other, finally lined up in open con-
test, bids went thick and fast and in
generous blocks, seeking to get in
some Knockout blows, but the other
fellows were sports too, and check
books were brought into play till
something like $500 lay in the treas
ury, and everybody was pleased. Miss
Louise Gravatt, formerly Uncle
Sans mail carrier on the rural
route won, and
There were sounds of revelry by
. night,
And Sterling's populace was gath
cred there"
The box of candy cost the commit
tee five dollars, and it sold for a little
less than $500. The committee has
not yet been complained against for
profiteering, but somebody may get
busy and swear out bench warrants
for them. There were some very
jolly bench warmers at the dance
men who could not execute, all the
wiggles and jiggles of the dancers,
but they enjoyed watching the others
after the candy was sold and it was
determined just who was who and
why.

These startling facts are cited by
