EX-PREMIER HAS PESSIMESTIC VIEW
 OF JAP SITUATION

TOXIC, Nov. IS (by Associated ss.)-Reijiro Wakatsuki, former ly minister of finance, expressed pessimistic views in the Tokio Asahi regarding the financial situa- tion.
 "The economic situation is, as yet, anything but reassuring," said the former minister. "Its would be a gross mistake to conclude that the situation is beginning to take a fdv' orable turn because of the present more or less quietude. The eco homie situation for the present is in a lull but it is fraught will every possibility of worse development

K. P. TO ADMIT YOUNG MEN TO
 MEMBERSHIP

In conformity with it's general pro- gram and policy of expansion by which it is proposed to carry the principles of the order into new fields of Pythian endeavor, the Knights of Pythias at the recent biennial convention of its supreme lodge at Minneapolis adopted an amendment to its organic law re- 1 ducing the minimum age limit of membership in the order from 2I to IS years, the effect of which will be open the door of fraternal hope to thousands of youths in the land whose hearts have felt the touch of human sympathy and who long to enlist under the banner of brother hood achievement.
 Since the order was founded, mem bership has been restricted to white male persons not less than 21 years of age and under 50, except that per sons over 50 might be accepted as members by dispensations. But out of the great World war many lessons came of nature calculated to change the old order of things, not the least of which was the idea born of the tremendous struggle and was participated in by the best blood of the nations young manhood that youths of IS, 19 and 20 years of age are fully capable of meeting responsi- bilities and discharging life's obli gations with fidelity equal to those of few years their senior. The alacrity with which the younger boys of the nation sprang to arms at the call of country in defense of it's honor and for the preser- vation of it's institutions affords in controvertable proof that one does not necessarily have to be of legal 2ge in order to be of real service | in times of stress and need.
 Inspired by thoughts of service performed and sacrifices made by the boys of the land and being | deeply sensible to the conviction | that if a boy of IS years is man enough, strong enough and patriotic | enough to serve his country in time | of war, he is competent physically, | mentally and temperamentally to participate in the settlement of the | problems of peace that came to us as a heritage of the war in which he fought.
 The Knights of Pythias in common with other fraternal organizations are not unmindful of the obligations the duties of the hour imposed. It proposes to perform it's full share in the great work of reconstruction and rehabilitation, that civilization may speedily recover from the shock to which it was subjected and that the blessings of peace, softened by senti- ments of fraternal love may find per lnanehL aDlulnS place III the hearts of men. And in this magnificent en- deavor it has invited boys and men of IS years and over to enlist un- der the tricolored banned of Pythian knighthoOd in the movement de- signed to banish discomfort and dis cord and make the world brighter and happier

BOY SHOUTS IN SPAIN COMBAT
 lLLLTER ACY

MADRID, Nov. IS (by Associated Press.) Former Boy Scouts in Spain have decided to inaugurate a campaign throughout the counry to combat the prevalent illiteracy. The resolution founding a society just formed for that purpose says: 'We consider the existence in Spain of 60 per cent of the population who can neither read nor write consti- tutes veritable scandal for the nation After carefully zanalyzing the problem, we have reached the conclusion that a modicum of good will on the part of the governing classes would be sufficient to solve it."
 The society resolved to form free classes in every big city where boys will be given instruction in the ele- ments of reading, writing and arith- metic. Later similar classes are to be started for adults of both sexes. The teachers will be chosen from volunteers among educated people and the society hopes to enlist the services also of professional teach CTS from the national schools to give instructions in the evening.

THE DAIRY HONOR ROLL.
Thirty-Nine Cows Tested Over Forty
Pounds Butter Fat in March

Clemson College, April 26.-The
number of COWS in South Carolina on
official test for butter fat and milk
is increasing rapidly. In March there
were altogether SO cows on test, 80
Guernseys, and 80 Jerseys and 29 Hol-
stems. Of these 80 qualified for the
honor roll by producing 40 pounds or
more of butter-fat. In the list were
21 Guernseys, 2 Jerseys and 16 Hol-
stems.
The top-notch producer Of all cows
tested was Sweepstakes, a Holstein,
owned by H. B. Jordan, Ridge Springs
yielding 2,196.3 pounds of milk and
1854 pounds of butter-fat. The sec
ond place went to another Holstein,
Agricola Cremelle Belle, owned by j.
K. Mayfeld, Denmark, with a yield
of 1925 pounds of milk and 66.96
pounds of butter-fat, though three of
his other Holsteins, Snow, Mollie and

Third amoung all cows tested, and
first honor among Guernseys, was
won by Imp. Roc. Hampton Fanny,
owned by R. NJ. Cooper, Wisacky, with
a production of 1925 pounds of milk
and 64.05 pound of butter-fat.
The two Jerseys on the honor roll
are owned by C. B. Whitney, Beaufort,
the best of these being Harmless of
Cloverdale, with 8S4.9 pounds of milk
and 43.Oe pounds of butter-fat.
By comparison with the February
testing records, the above figures
show decided improvement, since the
total February honor roll was only
25 as opposed to SO in March. The
March record shows 1S cows producing
over so pounds and 4 over so pounds
of butter-fat as opposed to II and 4
respectively for February.

BUYING OF EXPORT HOUSES SENDS WHEAT UPWARD IN
 THE CHICAGO GRAIN PIT
By AssocIated Press

Chicago, November A5-Material up- turns in the price of wheat took place with much of the buying ascrbed to ex- port houses. Boshevik success in southern Russia was, construed as a bullish factor The market closed firm 3$4c to 51zc net higher, with December Sl.S3& to s1.S4A, and March SHEA to $l. 75%. Corn finished unchanged to %c higher. Oats up A@9sc and provisions unchanged to an advance of 900
 Throughout the day developments re- garding grain attracted more attention in the wheat pit than did news about un- favorable aspects of the general business situation. This difference from the op- posite tendency which has prevailed of late was especially notable concerning Russian advices the popular assump- tion being that from now on there would be no grain shipments from Russia. Scantiness of receipts here, together with evidence multiplying that farmers were refusing to sell. counted also as a handi- cap on the bears. The near approach Of the end of lake navigation appeared to be a further stimulating influence and besides considerable notice was taken of comment that recent declines had been the most severe since the re- construction period after the Civil war.
 Selling pressure on corn and oats forced them to the lowest prices yet this season, but wheat strength brought about rallies.
 Firmness in the provision market was largely the result of higher quotations on hogs.

REACTION STOPPED
 BEFORE MIDDAY
 IN MARKET TRADING
News and Other Incidents Over Sunday Brought No Relief From Backward
 Conditions
By Associated Press

New York, November 15.-The week in the stock market opened with resump- tion ot the recent principal reactionary trend, but this was checked before mid day after several new low records had been established by speculative indus trials and specialties
 Selling the first hour when dealings approximated 100000 shares, probably in- eluded the further wedding out of weak ened accounts whose holders were un- able or unwilling to respond to calls for extra margins.
 Gross recessions extended from 1 to almost points, but most of these were recovered when buying of a supposedly substantial character in all the seasoned rails and industriaIs of the type repre- sented by railway equipments and popu- lar oils.
 Such leaders as United States Steei, Reading, Southern Pacific, Northern Pacific, Mexican and Pan-American and Royal Dutch finished at gains of lib- eral fractions to 2ls points, while Bald win, after displaying marked recupera' tive power, made a net loss of 1A. Sales amounted to 1,loo00o shares.
 News and other incidents during the Sunday recess brought no relief from long-recognized backward conditions in trade and industry.
 Some comfort was found in the money situation, last Saturdays better clearing house report doubtless contributing the ease shown by call loans. This form of accommodation opened at 812 per cent, the lowest rate in about three weeks, later declining to 7.6 per cent. In foreign the noteworthS feature was a moderate recovery of Spanish rate.
 The early strain in the stock marke- extended to bonds, international issues, notably Belgiaa 71ss and French Ss showing especia. heaviness. Most lib- erty bonds were lowe- with active do- nestle issues. Total sales, par value, aggregate1 S16,775,090

New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans, La. November l5-Un- favorable weather conditions in the belt put the cotton market strongly higher today and the advance continued until heavy realizing was met from the long side, after which there were reactions At the best of the day prices were 5l to Sl points over the loss of Saturday In the last few minutes of the session the ring had more cotton thrown upon it t5ar>it could absorb and closing prices were at net gains of but il to 34 points December was the strongest month, and it traded up to 1S.25c at it's best but closed at 17.7Sc.
 The rains of over Sunday and the cold weather following, with a forecast of freezing temperatures for good part of the belt, were responsible for fears that q great deal of cotton had been, or would be, followed in grade that it would not be picked and much comment cir culated in the early hours about the yield being materially shortened in con- sequence. For the greater part of the day there Vas no staying the advance.
 Heaviest buying followed reports from Texas that no picking had been possible n q week in some localities and the ru- nor that a large line of short contracts was being covered It was an active market throughout the day, with the greatest volume of business after mid- session.

Door Closer Trans Robbers

Problems of the graVest character and import frequently are solved, after com plex measures have failed, by methods of the utmost simplicity, says the Pop ular Mechanics Magazine. Take the cur rent epidemic of bank robbers, for exam pie Probably only bankers know the extent to which special policing systems ingenious signaling arrangements, and instruction and drilling of employees have been tried and found wanting in the practical test Forestalling, foiling, ot capturing an audacious and determined crook or gang of them bent on obtain ing money from bank without the cor. yentioaal details, has continued, seem
 ngly to be a matter rather of luck than of science.
 It is fitting, though unusual. that two police officers. full of experience in the ways of New York criminals. shoui have been first to see the mechanical remedy for this situation, and to apply for patents on mechanism to accom- plish it. The function of this new de. vice, almost absurdly elemental and ef fective, is merely to close the banN doors, thus trapping the suspected male factor in the very act of villiany. It requires the pressure of finger or foot on button to do this; but the button may be located anywhere, or dozens ct them scattered about the room or build. ing at every strategic point.

WHAT SYNTHETIC
 CHEMISTRY IS DOING

The synthetic method n which elec- tricity plays so important part has been successfully employed recently in the artificial production of commodities which heretofore have been available
 only in their natural forms A few days ago authoritative reports were received
 in the United States that men of science had at last discovered how by the sym thetic method to produce at low cost artificial camphor. The United States has always been since she became prom
 l:ent as manufacturing nation de- pendent upon other countries, principally those of the far east, for raw camphor. This is utilized in the manufacture not only of drugs, but also of celluloid
 But the other nations from which the United States purchased more camphor than any other nation did had the mar Fhet in their own hands. and played with
