Earnest effort to acquaint foreign
people in this country with American
ways of thought and living is being
made this year by, various agencies
including the extension service of the
United States department of agrj"u
ture and the state agricultural col
leges. Within the territory of nearly
every county or home demonstration
less number of people. living quite to
themselves and speaking their native
language almost entirely. These peo
pie from other lands are usually very
appreciative of any effort made to
teach them American ways. ard they
welcome instruction in the cooking of
American foods, the making of Amer
lean clothes. and even the growing of
vegetables that thrive here.

PUT QUESTION UP TO VOTERS
President Declares People Should
Decide as to League of Nations.


WashingtOn.-Presiden Wilson i'm
his message to the Jackson day diners
here Thursday night said ''the clear
and single way" to determine the will
of the American people on the league
of nations was to make it an issue at
the next election.
The presidents message said moth
ing whatever about third term for
himself and neither did it say, even
by implication or intimation, that he
would not be candidate, as had been
forecast Most all Of the message was
devoted to an expression Of his argu-
ment Of why he considered 1t the duty
of the United States to join In the
league Of nations covenant, and why
he considered the war not really won
until it did. Another attempt to crush
the new nations of Europe would be
made, the president said if the United
State held aloof.
The president expressed his attitude
toward reservations much as he did at
MS conference with the senate foreign
relations committee, in this language:
eff the senate wishes to say what
the undOubted meaning of the treaty
is l shall have no objection, There
can be no reasonable objection to in
terpretations accompanying the act of
ratification itself. But when the treaty
is acted upon must know whether it
means that we have ratified or rejected
it. We cannot rewrite this treaty We
must take it without changes which
alter it's meaning, or lease it, and then,
after the rest of the world has signed
it, we must face the unthinkable task
Of making another and separate kind
Of treaty with Germany"

FURTHER ADVANCES IN COTTON DUE TO

New York, June 4.-Reports of con- tinued unfavorable weather and sen sationally bullish private crop advices from central and western belt sections led to further advances in the cotton market early today. Prices reacted later, however, under realizing for over the week end and the market closed barely steady, net 20 points lower to 6 points higher.
 Liverpool was better than due with private cables reporting Manchester and London buying and the market here opened firm at an advance.
 There was buying by houses with foreign trade connections which sug- gested that spinners abroad had been impressed by the prospects for anoth- CT short crop and reports that cred it's were being arranged for the relief of central European countries proba- bly, had some influence very little was heard of domestic trade buying, however, while there was evidently a tendency to take profits and prices soon turned easy. There was no change in the crop news to encourage selling, but the failure of fresh spec ulative demand to develop was dis appointment to recent buyers. Some brokers expected the opinion that buying on the crop news was re- stricted by continued nervousness over general business conditions. Port receipts today 5,381. United States port stocks 1,019,9SO. Exports 5,189, making 5,99O,860 so far this season.
