Trade Was Hazardous.
Before the New York Cotton Ex-
change was organized, the cotton
trade was considered one of the most
( hazardous businesses that could be
engaged in. without the exchange
with its broad speculative market.
THE cotton business was of necessity
I most speculative. Grain and cotton
/ on the exchange are quoted broadcast
daily all over the country. This is
unlike the process governing commo-
dities Of less Importance, where price
movements arc swift, Unseen and de-
structive Instead Of resenting the
exchanges. the advantage to those in
terested in grain and cotton should
be appreciated.
Instead of tearing down our insti-
tutions. perfected during half cen
tury of evolution, why not establish
Others for the benefit of those inter-
ested in commodities which now fall

FROM
MAURY GOES TO
EDM0NDS SCHOOL
Latter institution Forced to
Abbreviate Courses for
Third-Grade Classes.

Children attending the third-grade
class at the Edmonds School. 9Th and
D streets northeast. are forced to pur-
sue abbreviated courses. due to the
lack of adequate accommodations.
Ordinarily this school would not be
overcrowded. It's present condition is
due to the fact that it is caring for
the overflow from the Maury School,
about a half mile distant.
When the Maury School became SO
+congested a 'dfst-grade class was
transferred bodily to the Edmonds.
The latter institution then was 90.
commodating approxin6Atsiy its MAXI
mum enrolment. Consequently, some
change in the operating system Of
the Edmonds had to be made to care
for the additional pupils. and it was
decided to put the third-grade class
on a part time system.
Total Enrolment. $50.
With the extra first grade class the
enrolment at the Edmonds School
totals 1885, The school is an eight
room structure, and cannot 'be con-
sidered congested when compared
with other institutions in the city
which nave enrollmentS ranging be-
tween 500 and 600. However, It has
only eight classrooms and ten classes
The school was erected in 1904, and
is considered among the modern Of
structures of its type. 1t Is heated by
hot-air system, which is said to be
in good order and assures warm
classrooms the coolest of winter days.
It has no lighting system to speak Of
There is one gaslight, however, in
the lower hall of the building
Children at this school are fortunate
to have adequate playground space
which is sufficiently equipped. Most
of playground equipment has been
purchased by the Mothers Club Of
the school The club has just appro-
priated $45 for additional playground
equipment.
Club Donates Apparatus.
Besides equipping the playground,
the club purchased a steorograph for
the use of the school at q cost of
1916. This machine is used in teach
ing history, geography and literature,
and its results are said to be bene-
fetal to the education of the chill
dren. The Mothers Club also pre-
sented the school with a victrola and
numerous improvements.
Due to the location of the Edmonds
School, which is in territory thickly
in population. no recommendations
have been made for an addition or
other improvements to the building
by school officials. The building which
officials believe is vitality in need Of
an addition is the Maury, which will
be described in the Star at a later
date.

RED NEGOTIATIONS
DEN|EDBY HARDING.
Report Shows Depths to
Which Estate Department
Has Fallen" He Says.

MARION. Ohio, October 27.-Before
his departure today on his final cam
paign trip through Ohio, Senator
Harding issued another statement
denying published reports that Wash
ington Vanderlip was acting as his
agent in certain activities in Rus
sia. Circulation of the reports
through the State Department reveal,
he said, 1.-The depths to which our once
great Department of State has
fallen
Senator Harding's statement fol-
lows,
IT have noted the prominence CIV

nection with a Mr.. Washington Van

me at home or abroad. have no
knowledge of his mission. 1 have no
interest therein. 1t Is wholly false
or his mission; it is utterly false that
he represents me in any way.
1.-The entire matter is relatively un-
important. except that it reveals the
depths to which our once great De-
partment of State has fallen. and en-
phasizes the need of restoring 1t to
the reliability and dignity becoming
our great TcpuDIlC
The league of nations, tariff protection,
Americanism and constitutional gov
ernment are expected to be head
liners among the issues discussed by
Senator Harding on his final cam
paign swing through Ohio, beginning
today and ending Saturday night with
a speech in Columbus.
Leaving Marion shortly after noon.
the senator's train is due in Cleveland
in time to permit him to take dinner
at a downtown hotel before his night
address in Grey's Armory there. He
will remain in Cleveland until tomor-
row afternoon, and tomorrow night
will speak in Akron. On Friday and
Saturday nights, respectively, he is to
address night meetings In CINCINNATI
and Columbus.
On the eve of his departure Sena-
tor. Harding again directed the at
tention of the public today to two of
the issues that have been in the fore
front of his campaign. the protective
tariff and tn the League League Of nstions !a,;cv ot
protecting American products was
promised by the republican nornine
in a telegram he sent to Paul A.
Ewert of Joplin. Mo-, and made public
as part of his attack on the demo-
that disaster" had been brought to
mining and industrial interests
through failure to properly protect
American products, and that now
American agriculture was sharing a
similar fate.
His comment on the league was in
the course of an informal discussion
of a recent interview with Leon
Bourgeois. president of the league
council. The latter's views, he said.
furnished further evidence that the
only safe way for the United States
was "to remain outside" for the pres
ent
