New York, May 22.-The market today was easier during early trading owing to selling from Wall street. who are much impressed by the beginning of de- flation in all commodities and who see no reason why this should not extenf to cotton and cotton goods. This feel ing has been increased by the sensa- tional decline in Egyptian futures in Liv- erpool and by the many dispatches from Egypt which are printed in the papers aa to lower prices in goods and canceHa- tions in Manchester. The cotton trade itself while impressed with the setback in general business. is equally impressed
 with the bad start of the crop. Today these two influences played conflict ing part in the market At last prices closed not so far from last night, there having been a sharp recovery in the last half hour on rumors that too well know:l private crop reports would show very low condition figure, and would be is- sued next week, if indeed the figures are not actually known by those interested at this writing. Similar fluctuations for similar causes are likely in the immedi-N ate future.-Hubbard Brothers Co.

Shooting Affair in Lecture Room of University Gull imitation of Students
 Strike
By Associated rresS

Buenos Aires, May 1.-The students strike at the University of La Plata, which eliminated recently in shoot ing affair in lecture room and the killing of one of a group of students taking an examination, is attributed by some newspapers to the incitem ent of politicians and by others to the absorption of anarchistic ideas" by student agitators.
 The tragedy was the most serious of number of acts of violence on the part of the strikers that have oc- cured during the past few months. Demanding reforms in the adminis- traitor of the university including an enlargement of the rights in the con trol of the administration already possessed by the student body, the strikers took possession of various of the university buildings on four diff ferent occasions and elected the facuI- ty The faculty have had to call on the police to oust them, having been powerless to maintain discipline
 The strike was at first regarded as college boy nonsense" but was soon given a serious aspect by the news papers because of evidence that the ringleaders were actuated by bolshev- ist ideas and because it has led to threats by the federal administration to remove Governor Grotto of Buenos Aires prince and appoint an inter Yentor' to rule in his stead. Governor Grotto is political opponent of Presi- dent Irysoyen and anti-administra- tion newspapers have accused politt- clans of the Presidents party with in citing the students to create disorder to make an additional excuse for Gov ernor Grotto's removal
 When the students first declared the strike by their organization, the Fed eracion Universitaris. they took fore; ble possession of the central building of the university and hosted the red flag on the flag staff. They were dis

We have been selling lots Of pota-

raised enough for their own use, but
many did not raise as many as they
planted. The ones we have are extra
nice and excellent cookers, being fine
favored and mealy.
Our life long friend d. R. Strick-
land and his good wife were in to see
US this week doing some trading. We
have known Uncle Dave since we
can remember and have watched him
climb the ladder Of success slowly
but surely, until he Is now in a posi-
ton to take life easy and enjoy the
fruits of his labor. He is a true
Christian gentleman of the highest
type and uses his religion " days
in the week. We mean by that, that
he is absolutely honest and fair in
his dealings with his fellow men. We
have done thousands of dollars worth
of business with him and his word
to US is as good as his bond. We need
more lei of his type.
At this writing we are selling
sugar at $500 per sack. We believe
it has reached the bottom but, of
course, we do not know. Anyway it
has had a big break and sooner or
later will react and when it starts up,
it will advance several dollars per
cwt.
w. Vanvaxter, who lives northwest
of here several miles, was in one day
last week shopping. He promises to
become one Of our regular patrons.
Mrs. Cy Barnes was in the last of
the week. Mrs. Barnes is a frequent
caller and one of our most valued
patrons, and the clerks all love to wait
on her. There are no better people in
the world than Cy Barnes and his
family. He has been very successful
in his farming and stock raising and
we consider him one of the shrewdest
business men in our community.

We have known Charlie all our life
or at least all of his life and we value
his friendship very highly.
We highly enjoyed a pleasant visit
from the senior members school mate,
Mrs. Fannie Burkhardt, who was Miss
Fannie Summers, the youngest daugh-
ter Of Uncle Will Summers, whom ev-
erybody remembers. The senior menu
Der took his first trip to st. Louis
when a boy under the care and guild
ance Of Uncle Will Summers and will
always cherish his memory as one of
the best men he ever knew. Miss
Fannie was in the primary grade
when he was in high school, then a
pretty girl, now a beautiful woman.
She represents the Central States Life
Insurance Co., and wrote about
$10,0 600 worth of insurance while in
our store.
Byron Reed and Hugh Peck, two
very successful farmers and stock
men, were in Monday delivering to
us. We buy lots of stock and grain
from these two good men and hope to
eventually sell them all their goods.
The best people on earth trade at
our store and we are proud of them.
We could write a page every week
about them but we can't convince
Gale Johnston, Mitchell White, Roscoe
Pool and The Rodemeyer Bros, that
our items are news and not advertise
ments and should be more free of
charge. We wish you would tell those
fellows that if it was not for ads you
would not take their paper, maybe
they would not be so hard on us and
make us pay for this space. They are
all good fellows but awful strict.
Bring us your produce. Remember
we are the best little egg buyers now
on earth. WE PAID 55c FOR EGGS
LAST SATURDAY. We want your
eggs. Don't think we lose money on
them for we don't. We make money
on them We have a market for ten
times as many as we get. Bring them
to US.
Come to see US. Make us a visit
whether you want to buy or not. If
we can't make you want to buy we
will enjoy your visit any way. We
value your friendship about your dol

Geo. Woolery and son, Bingle, were
in Monday and took out a new Mil
waukee Corn Binder they had pur-
chased from US, also enough Irvine to
tie their crop. Uncle George does not
get over to see US often but we are
always glad to see him. He Is one of
the few men who says little and does
much. Strictly honest in the true
sense of the word and wants the other
fellow to be the same way. Bingle is
a chip off the old block and comes to
Sc us often. We appreciate his pat
ronage and can wish him nothing bet
ter than that he follow the footsteps
of his father.
We have an excellent coffee at %
cents per pound. We want you to
try it and if it is not good and you
don't think it is worth the price and
more, we will refund your money.
W. N. Holman, who lives near the
Galloway line, was in to see US Sat-
urday and left a substantial check
with US for which, we, as is our Gus
tom, gave him value received. Wal
lace is always cheerful and if ever
he has any troubles he keeps them to
