ON THE PATHWAY OF HOPE

Although he did no. walk in mail
and did not wear Il sword,
He was Il knight, Il knight who dared
to battle for the Lord;
Although he did net hold alofa il

His goodness was the sort Of shield
that evil cannot pass.
He trusted men and searched their
hearts, and looked for hidden worth
And showed them that they hal a
place to eli upon the earth.
He dealt in faith instead OF gold, and
looked for souls to save,
md offered refuge to the ones who
feared Il namclcSs grave.
He was a knight although at times he

y knight who always found the time
to worship, and to bless
His Makers name. He was knight
who blazcd Il pathway wide
70 an abode Of hopcfulncsS, and

And there were those who followed
him, who long had dealt in sin,
And there were those who long had
strayed, who feared to enter in;
But there were those who found
again the strength to kleel ami

The strength to throw their Shoulders

He Wa, a knight who gave his all to

PRICE FLUCTUATIONS IN COTTON WERE OF A VIOLENT NATURE
General List at the Close Was Steady, Net Twenty Points " to Forty Points
 Lower
By Associated Press

New York, october 5.-Yesterday break into new low ground for the sea- son was followed by very violent price movements in the cotton market today. Considerable strength was shown during the earlier trading, with December con- tracts selling up to 9 BOG, but offerings became very heavy, and the price broke to 2l. 5Oc in the last hour. closing at 2looc. compared with 21 23c the previous cay. The general list closed steady, net zo points to 70 points tower the active win ter and spring positions being b to y points net higher.
 The market opened firm and unchanged prices to an advance of g points III re- sponse to the higher cables, October was relatively easy as result of scatterlns liquidation which accompanied the circu- lation Of notices estimated at about 2SU bales. This caused irregularity in the later months, but southern hedge selling was less active than recently, and there seemed to be good many contracts want ed on comparatively moderate reactions. After the notices had been stopped, Oc- tober became strong on covering, selling up to 23 30c, or l05 points net higher. This stimulated covering movements in later months, and before the advance was, checked January sold at 2i.95c, with the general list showing net advances Of w to f15 points.
 In the case of December this made a recovery of 1S0 points from yesterdays low record, which evidently attracted realizing by recent buyers for reaction and a renewal of local pressure. There was also selling for western account as the grain market weakened after early advances, and the market broke rapidly late in the afternoon with January and later months making new low records for the day. Hedge selling was more active later, and weather conditions in the south were considered favorable for picking. Manchester reported no agreement on short time had been reached today, but that the cotton trade would ballot on proposal to clost the mills on Saturdays and Mondays for a period of four weeks Exports today, 17,475. making 512,S66 so far this season.

Tn the late trading there was a gradual sag until the market stood 2S up to 6 points downNnet.
 Weather conditions over the belt were considered highly favorable, the map being dry and seasonably warm, but the spot news offset this as well as English advices to the effect that the Lancashire master spinneFs' organiza tion had recommended four days week running time for a month. commencing with October 25.

WHEAT COLLAPSED AND WENT TO NEW
 LOW LEVEL IN PIT
By Associated Press

Chicago, October 5-Wheat prices col lapsed today to new low level Every upturn in the market led to heavy sell ing and in the end buying power faded away, with talk current that some diff ficulty had been met in financing wheat at the seaboard. The close was unsettled 214c to Sc net lower; December, sf.s91sn 1.9o and March, s1.s8@l. .Ss1a.
 Corn lost 7s to 11.. anll oats shade to as to 6c. In provisions the outcome ranged from s1. 40 decline, to 72c advance
 At the outset in the wheat pit, a gem eral rush to sell carried prices downward but shorts covered freely and during most of the morning prices, although widely fluctuating, averaged higher than yesterdays close. Foreign buying of fu- ture deliveries was noted and it was said France would buy s, 5,000O0O bushels from November 1 to July I. After midday, however, sellers outnumbered buyers and in the last thirty minutes had almost complete monopoly. Corn and oats were bearishly affected by the setback of wheat values. Both the feed grains, as well as wheat went to the lowest prices thus far on the crop.
 Lard and ribs were strengthened by reports of better transatlantic call. Pork, though, tumbled with hogs and grain.

ot men to amass very large fortunes through railroad reorganization and con- trol''
 Already the reports continue to come of improvement in the transportation situ- ation. Yet there remains much 10 be done, as for instance, from the beginning or the crop year to October 1 the short age or grain cars delivered at Minneap- oiS Was 6,0u, and that represented the market value of nearly SIP OO0,00O in grain Ill fact, in many sections of the country the railroad milage, since 1915, has been practically stationary, although traffic was greatly increased, especially after we entered the war.
 Bus the railway managers have done as well as could be expected, and the hope is that long before the new crUp veal begins, the situation will be satis- factory.
 A PROMISING OUTLOOK
 Railway managers to whom inquiry has been put, say that with the reduced cost of material and equipment which are certain to be established together with higher efficiency in railroad labor, there by making good the increase In wages, the railroad companies should be able to handle the stupendous traffic whicn will be offered adequately and receive, Ill view of the higher rates which have been authorized by the county commission, reasonably profitable transportation busi- ness.
 Then will follow the era of combina- tions which in general way will be zone or district combinations. These are likely to be of especial advantage to the smaller and weaker railroads. Some of the larger railway systems are now op- erating under loss. This is true of the New Haven system One of the executive officers of this system reports that not withstanding very reasonable attempt to reduce the cost of operating the sys- tenn, nevertheless it continues to be some- what in excess of the income.
 The New Haven system should be, when the entanglements and endorsements, which caused it's collapse few years ago, are eliminated, again one of the best paying railroads properties in the United States. For really it pours freight from the west in large amounts, upon which the New Haven Company gains, accord ing to present arrangements, a very small percentage of the through rates If there should be some foundation for the sus- picion that first among the great com Dinations hereafter to be made, will Do one which brings the New Haven and the Pennsylvania system into unified re- lation, then the volume of traffic which the New Haven could turn over to the Pennsylvania, as well as receive from the Pennsylvania, would probably be great enough to justify the combination. The two systems are now almost in one fam ity They are physically connected through joint ownership of one of the worlds greatest railroad bridges under heath which the whirlpool known as Hellgate passes. The two systems are in joint ownership of this bridge and connecting link

RAILS S|DETRACKED FOR |NDUSTR|ALS
 AND SPEC|AET|ES
Buying Concentrated Largely on SteeIs and Related Is- sues, With Shorts Cover
 ing Actively
By Associated Press

New York, October 5.-The character of the trading on the stock exchange today underwent radical change, in dustrials and specialties for the first time in fortnight supplanting rails in point of strength and activity.
 Buying concentrated largely on steels and related issues, the shorts covering urgently on persistent reports that no immediate reduction of existing price schedules is contemplated by the larger producers or their selling agents
 This impression was heightened by word that one of the independent man ufacturers in the Pittsburg district in- tends to fix a $60 rate on steel rails as against the long prevailing prices of $47 to $4S a ton.
 Other strong and prominent indus trials embraAed the equipments, motors, coppers and petroleums. To these were added such specialties as tobaccos, su- gars, feathers and gas and power issues, also textiles and chemicals.
 Leaders of these diversified groups registered extreme advances of 1 to ' points, but selling for profits, especially in the more popular steels and equip ments caused considerable irregularity at the close. Rails evinced heaviness almost from. the start, aside from St. Paul and several other grangers, also the more representative cotton carriers, notably Atlantic Coast Line and South ern Railway common and preferred.
 Virtually all of the days call money was offered at per cent but per cent was paid for moderate amounts in the last half hour. Foreign exchange re- gwersed yesterdays course. the London gate stiffening, while Paris remittances .F eacted. All classes of bonds were firm .to strong, especially convertible rails and local fractions at gains of k to1 1h points, including United Kingdoms of sa937. Liberty issues also rose from Huarter to almost l per cent on a large Turnover. Total sales. par value, aggre- sgated $19, 750,00o. Old United States tbonds were unchanged on call.
