A large part of trouble between
beet growers and sugar companies
has been caused by outsiders for pure
ly selfish purposes.
The problem of relationship between
growers end companies is one that has
not been permanently met. The fu-

sugar industry demands that it be met
courteously, frankly and in a spirit of
mutual accommodation. The man who
inaugurates such plan of procedure
will be one of the greatest benefact-
ors of the industry.

A HAT FOR

BY II. LOUIS RAYBoLD.

If Camilla often wondered just who
the tall young man with the happy
gray eyes was who so often rode to
the fourteenth floor with her, no less
did that young man frequently ponder
the Identity Of the fair girl with the
roses Of spring In her cheeks and the
summer sun In her hair.
His attention had first been drawn
to her by catching a glimpse in the
crowded elevator Of a perfectly won
derful hat, which even to his mascu-
line eyes was the acme Of chicness, al
lure and expenslvcness. Edging his
way about bit he lad been able to
see the face beneath the hat and was
forced to admit that each did Justice
to the other. Later he had been un-
able to help noticing that the owners
gloves were rather worn, that the neat
serge suit was obviously OF a former
season, and that the sensible shoes
were being helped to hold their own by
shines and new lacings.

SCULPTOR FAMOUS
 AND IS ONLY 31

Paris, June 25.-Paul Adolphe Darde, awarded the envied Paris salon national prize for his marbles, 'Faunt' and Eternal Sufferng." is greeted by crit cs as a genius in the real sense of that abused word.
 Darde, in the simple telling of his ca reer, stands out among artists. He is not trained, in the academic way. He was q shepherd in the region of Lodeve, in the wine country oF southern France. Son of a small farmer, he watched a flock or worked the ground until he was 20. He fought in the war, and today, famous, he is only 31.
 The big. powerful, blonde bearded peas- ant began drawing. he says. when he was eight, but felt his own way until he took a drawing course in the Lodeve pelier, getting, as he says. guidance in his first steps. Through the counsel ot his two art teachers he came to Paris. He spent five weeks here in the government art institute and worked three days In Rodin's studio. With that slim grip of classic school and the modernity of Rod- in, Darde began working in marble and metal that made experience his teacher.
 T have no preference in schools, Darde says: T love all that is beautiful in art as in life.' He has been likened most closely to Rodin, but he admires first of all the work of Jean Goujon and secondly that of Barye and Rodin of modern art.
 The 'Faun' is massive, vigorous con- ception. sneerng, cynical and sensual. Eternal Suffering represents won- upturned, in anguish and almost dis torted as if with physical pain.

New Orleans July 24.-Our market opened off ten to twenty points and sold off ten more soon after the call in the absence of a Liverpool and bearish foreign news coupled with better weather reports of less rain during the past twenty-four hours, however there was a better feeling on bullish change in the technical condition. There is no cotton tt present to support short position and any improvement in for eign news would probably bring about a covering advance. however there is no question that bearish bearings are prevailing at the present moment. Danger of another European war looms up and must be considered by cotton traders, together with improved crop prospects. The last war was very bullish on cotton, but another one now might prove to be such an economic catastrophe that prices might go all to pieces. Later reports during the day from abroad showed the situation inn proving and should an improvement continue over there. no doubt, that a better undertone will be brought about in our markets.

Over Private Wires
Thomson. Parker & Co.

New Orleans, July 24-Small declines and even smaller advances were all that the trading in cotton produced today. Somewhat better news from Europe and the report that an armis- tice had been arranged between Poland and Russia seemed to keep the bear element within bounds and to stimu- late some little short covering, but private conditions figures of 75.5 ap- peared to work against fresh buying. Again the weather map and forecast were more favorable After declines of eight to twenty five points in the early trading the market recovered and advanced to levels six to fourteen points over the close Of yesterday Last prices, however. were irregular. six points up to eight points down. net for the session.
 The weather map noted rains only in the more southern portions of the central and eastern belts, the remain der of the cotton region being dry. The forecast called for dry weather in all states of the western half of the belt and also in the Carolinas and fair weather was predicted for Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia, except for thundershowers tomorrow afternoon This indicated the most favorable weather in some days and if it mate rializes, it is likely to cause new sell ing on the opening of the new week.
