BIGGEST DANCE0F
SEASON SATURDAY

Elaborate arrangements are being
made for the dance which will be given
at the City Bowery next Saturday eve
ming, September d.
This is not being given by any in
dividual, but is being pushed by the
baseball management for the pur-
pose of securing funds to make up the
deficit which now exists in the treas
ury of that association. The dance is
being we'll advertised all over the
county, and good crowd from outside
points can be looked for.
The baseball association is still sew
eral hundred dollars "in the hole" so
to speak, and takes this way of maxi
ing up the deficit, believing that by
providing a first class entertainment
the people will be only too glad to buy
a ticket as well as enjoy an evening of
dancing. Manager Sampson has been
forced to pay the bills of the associa-
tion out of his own pocket which of
course he was perfectly willing to do,
but as would be expected he expects
to be recompensed for it, and the as
sociation is hoping that this dance will
about clear up all existing debts,
which came about through poor pa
'tronage to the games which were
played here.
Another special drawing feature of
the evening, which has been arranged
by the management is Malchow's Or
.chestra of Fargo, which has been Sc
cured to furnish the music. Of course
the management went to considerable
expense in getting this musical or
ganization here, but believes it will
be more than repaid by the crowd
which will be out to enjoy it. Re-
member that date-next Saturday eve-
ming, September 4. 1t is being ad-
vertised as the biggest dance Of the
season, and it will no doubt be ex-
actly as advertised.

A BIG SUCCESS

The women Of th. } sty,swlhoo have
just come into their : as full dedged

last night that w g in every way a
very successful o, = and so far as we
can see was jus \, well carried out

The various cha tiers of note in the
suffrage movement were represented
by different ladies, the various states
1a-iiying suffrage and the dates
tise4eoI, new voters carrying long
banner bearing the words Nineteen
Million Votes" a line of marchers
carrying lighted torches, the whole
making a very fine appearance. The
parade was led by Mrs. Bordwell car
ry;ng big American flag, followed
by Mrs. D. s. Ritchie riding a white
horse, then came the Municipal band
and the various other divisions of the
parade. The march was interrupted
by the arrival of the passenger trains,
one part of the parade being on one
side of the track and the other part
on the other. However, not to be
daunted in their first march of victory,
the north end Of the parade marchers
went around the train and Joined the
other half and then the march was
resumed to the city park where Mrs.
Kate S. Wilder, Of Fargo, addressed
the gathering felicitating the women
of the land in attaining after long
fight the right Of equal suffrage. The
whole affair was nicely managed and
carried out and the Times Record Of

BAG Limit SHOULD
BE OBSERVED

The 1920 hunting season will sooon
open and sportsmen and hunters VIII
be out after the game in full blast.
Sportsmen and hunters is mentioned
as two entirely different individuals.
The difference is this: A sportsman
is one who will give an animal fight
ing chance. A hunter is one who
kills just for the fun he apparently
finds in it. No manor at least not
very many of them, finds very much
satisfaction upon creeping upon some
unsuspecting animal and shooting a
broadside into it without even giving
a fair chance. It is whole lot bet
ter feeling to drive home with the
back seat Of your t'tin Lizzie" full Of
game, with your knowledge that every
specimen was gotten by your skill and
not trickery. Now, isn't it? OF
course, it is. -
Every sportsman should observe the
ssNo Hunting" and "No Trespassing"
signs which you 80 often see tackled
.up on fences and poles. There must
be friendly feeling between the
land owner and sportsman-coopera
tion for the legitimate development OF
better hunting grounds. Every sports
man who does not observe these signs
should be properly prosecuted. One
sportsman can not carry out this plan,
but only through cooperation can it
be brought about. Is
Another point which should be OBJ
served is the bag limit set on certain
konds Of game. It may seem like you
are slipping something over when you
get more than the limit but in reality
You are not. You are beating nobody
but yourself. For by so doing you
are lessening the amount Of game
which IS to be found in this section Of
the country, and may cause closed
season to be called on that certain
kind Of game to let it breed up again
The bag limit was set for just that
purpose to eliminate the possibility
Of closed season, and it should be OBJ
served.

farmers
The article by General Peake in issue of August
9Th went into the situation fully and in the same issue We
said editorialy:
"In this issue appears letter signed by
Amasa P. Peake on the question of future con-
tract trading in grain. The editor has read the
letter with much interest and hopes that it is the
germ of an idea which carried out will give us
steadier and more satisfactory wheat markets.
It is certain that with the present high cost OF
farm production the farmer must have something
to say about the price he shall receive for his
produce and the plea that the short sellers of wind
grain has to buy it back later does not help the
producer who is forced to sell his crop in Sep
tember on the basis of wind sales for December
delivery and on the statement of the country ele-
vator that it can pay only December price because
of shortage Of cars to ship wheat in. The farmer
who is renter or has been unfortunate is the
chief sufferer as he must sell after thresh
ing as possible and he should not be forced to
compete with the short seller, whose activities

LOSES GROUND
Continued Increased Selling, Influ.
eneed by Pessimis6c Reports
From Abroad, Lowers Prices.

New York, Oct. 3o.-Selling Of
cotton continued general today and
the market lost further ground, al
though 1t finished above the bot
tom. The offerings came mostly
from Wall Street, Southern and To-
cal sources, and were influenced by
further bearish reports on the tex
tile trade from abroad, as well as
from domestic manufacturing CEN
ters, an absence of killing frost in
the South and a comparatively small
decline in the condition OF the crop
during October.
Initial quotations showed losses
of 40 to so points. Trading was fair
ly active early, decreasing in the
last hour. Later the list rallied on
buying by New Orleans interests and
covering by local traders. Private
predictions were for frosts tonight
over the Central and Eastern belts. A
local representative of a large spot
house said that there was a better
inquiry for the actual cotton mostly
from export quarters, but that little
business was being closed.
Late in the session local and for
eign selling supplied the demand.
4 lndI prices were 20 pOlHIS lO"er "
points higher.
Spot here was quiet with middling
20 points lower at 22c. There were
no sales. Spot at New Orleans was
quiet with middling 1-2c lower at
20 1-2c. The sales were 507 bales.
Receipts of cotton at some of the
leading points: New Orleans, e,4e7;
Savannah. 3.S9s: Wilmington, $685.
st. Louis, $40.

MoDFIES QUARANTINE LAWS
RULING COTTON SHIPMENTS

A modification of the existing
quarantine against the pink bOll-
worm in Louisiana and Texas, per-
mitting cotton lint and linters pro-
duced prior to 1919 to be shipped to
points outside the cotton belt with
cut diSinfectiOn, was announced here
yesterday by the Department Of
Agriculture, effective Monday.
The principal object of the new
ruling is to permit the movement of
Texas cotton under registration
through the port of New Orleans
and to permit Interstate movement
to northern points for consumption
Of cotton lint and linters which have
been in storage for such period as
to preclude the possibility of their
being the means of conveying the
pink bollworm.
Due to lack of demand. during the
last two years, for lint for domestic
purposes, but primarily as a result
Of the practical closing of the ex-
port market against the movement
OF linters because of lack of de-
mand and high freight rates, there
have been considerable accumula-
tiOns of linters at the oil mills in the
regulated zones in Louisiana. This
amendment will relieve the situation
to a large extent by making ii pos
sibIe to market, without risk OF
snreading the pink bollwOrm, a
large portion Of these accumulated
Rnters.

clearings continues in evidence,

United States last week as reported
in Dun's Review, represented & de-
crease of 6.5 per cent from the

period of last year. The reduction
is again due to the falling off at

per cent smaller than the .5.2ss.-

WEEKLY REVIEW.

New York, Oct zs.-Bradstreet's
says in it's weekly review:
The trade and price movement is
more irregular, but on the whole
rather less one-sided than in the
preceding week, further retrograde
movements in wholesale trade. pro-
duction. employment and prices
seeming to be partially balanced by
slight improvement in retail buy
ing and a fairly distinct harde ming
in prices of farm products, which
may or may not presage a turn in
the hitherto ebblng tide of trade dis
tribution.
On what might be termed the con-
structive side of the situation is to
be cited slight increase in buy
ing at retail-a quite distinct gain
from quiet to fair being noted from
the apparent dead low point of last
week.
Added to this is the hardening Of
grain and other farm product prices.
Against this. however, are to be set
what is described as only "nibbling"
demand at wholesale for textiles,
particularly cotton goods, some buy
ing of necessary goods by retailers
being instanced, less active mail
order trade-large Western centers,
in fact. reporting October trade as a
whole below year ago-further
large reductions in coke prices,
sympathetic declines in pig iron,
some easing in soft coal, less active
buying of steel. reduced output of
mills and furnaces.

Of the agricultural industry by the

Although 1t is admitted sby om-
cials that the ambitious program OF
the farmers to obtain further legis-
lation directed to give especial
privileges to the agriculturalists,
will receive a considerable amount
Of support, for political and other
reasons, officials generally believe
that the policies now being followed

the support of Congress when the

the question of credit expansion, the
