TRANSPORTATION
 BY AUTO IS MOST
 ] EFFICIENT MEANS

'IE is by the actual cost of operation compared with increased efficiency in It's rganiZation that a business de termines the value of it's transporta lion system" says Bert o. Brown, local dealer in Chevrolet passenger and commercial cars.
 An automobile can travel over more ground than can be covered by any other conveyance as far as the com merdial traveller is concerned. It takes him sby the most direct route to the place swhere he wants to do business. He does not, have to regulate his trip by time tables. He does not have to change vars on the way. He can prof itablys visit places it would be impos sibles to reach in any other way, or which heretofore have been imorac- ticable of the time and difficulties in- volved in getting to them"
 When the salesman or the service mans is equipped with an automobile his territory is not only increased but all the irritation of travel is removed.

He goes more places in greater com fort. He accomplishes more and does 1t better He takes more joy in his work"
 The benefit to the firm he repre- sents is obvious. By providing better working conditions for it's men it re- ceives their more hearty cooperation. IL does business more efficiently in more places. It is able to give superior service to all those with whom 1t deals. The volume Of business increases and SO do the profits.
 This improvement in it's transporta- tion system is reflected throughout the whole organization of a business house. But most important of all, it is reflect ed on the books. The accounts show in actual figures that automobiles mean greater prosperity-and that prosperity can be measured by the number of cars in use.

know that any battery should always be put in condition after lying idle for some time. While his new car has on view in the dealers showroom. his battery like all storage batteries, obeys the same chemical law of depreciation. The usual treatment in such cases is to add distilled water to all cells and give the battery a freshening charge
 '-I feel so strongly on this subject that I gladly advise any owner of a new car about the condition of his battery, and if a freshening charge is needed supply it freely as q regular part Of our service. This may result in prolonging the life of the battery immeasurably. We are here to give service and service most certainly is general education about battery uses and abuses ."

Cotton closed steady.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Sept. 30.-The gen. cral trend of prices in the cottec market today was strongly lowe, although in the eaMy trading a peri cd of steadiness carried values ur for fairly wide gains. The disposi, tion was to minimize reports of crot, damage, either from the cold wav., crossing the country or from the hur- ricane which shot across the Atlan- tic from the east gulf of Mexico. Heaviest pressure was felt late in the session, when the trading months were 69 to 80 points under the closa of yesterday Last prices showed net losses of 48 to 60 points.
 On the opening buying was general on fear of crop damage and because of the higher Liverpool market. Af- ter advances of 27 to 40 points the market reacted and slumped dde- cidedly. December in the early trad ing went up to 22.OO but late in the day it stood at 21.OO and its clos ing price was 21.15. Much liquida- tion came on the market late in the day and it encouraged heavy short selling.
 Reports which reached this market indicated that much frost occurred in Oklahoma with temperatures down to freezing at some points but they steadied the market only tempor- arily.
 Cotton closed at a decline of 48 to R0 nninfs

LXXVI Fate Interrupts

Neither John De Haven nor Clinton Dawes knew that their individual plans were to be interrupted Hateful ly. For Fate does not usually warn her victims but prefers to remain mysterious and secret.
 Yet fate did interrupt them, mak- ing it impossible for Dawes to con duct his vindicative warfare against De Haven Company in Wall Street and precluding at the same time the opportunity for John De Haven tc retaliate against his unseen unidenti- fled enemy.
 Dr. Hill may have been co-conspir- ator of Fate and yet his kindly face would have belied that suspicion when the physician went to John De Haven's home in response to his call and subjected him to a rigid exami- nation. Assuming command of the situation at once, he ordered John De Haven out of Wall Street for three months. Which development natural ly would restrict the operations ot The De Haven Company and Clinton Dawes campaign of deliberate ruin. For Walker would get his orders again to take care of routine busi- ness only, just as he had been in- structed when the De Havens sailed on their wedding day.
 "What's the idea about me anyway doctor?" asked John De Haven CIVIL, ~, tho ,,,ottar0 Icn,+ thora anU way of me staying on the job?"
 "No, son." said Dr. Hill, shaking his head and regarding him quietly.
 "Just what is wrong with me-"
 "Overtraining.

 "That sounds ridiculous to me-" he declared. q haven't done anything

Trial of Civil Cases Without
 JurieS Resented

Dublin, Sept. 29.--One important provision of the Irish Crimes bill which was put into effect this month is that which gives power to try civ il actions without jury. It is in- tended to Nnake short work of the activities of the Sim Fein Courts which have revolutionized legal bus mess, and largely reduced the Irish bar to idleness.
 The proceedings in criminal mat ters of Sim Fein Courts are already being dealt with by the police. When the Sim Feiners arrest a man on a charge of theft or burglary or any thing else the police treat the Sim Feiner's action as breach of the liberty of the subject who should be only triable by a lawful court. The Sim Feiners are prosecuted for assault, tried, by courtmartial and sentenced to long terms of imprison- ment.
 The civil trials by the Sim Fein- CTS are more difficult to deal with, for they can be argued to be merely arbitrations by consent of the par ties. But the test to be applied is whether they purport to be trials

BULLISH REPORT
 FAILS ID LINEN
 COTTON MARKET

New York, Sept. 30.-Bullish weather and crop reports failed to create much buying power Tn the cotton market here today and early advances were followed by a sharp decline. December sold off from 23.O5 to 21 93, or so points below yes terday's final quotation and closed at 2215 with the general list clos ing steady at net decline of 33 to 75 points. 'GJ@
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of to 45 points with active months selling about 30 to 40 points net higher during the early tradln" in response to higher Liverpool ca bles, better Manchester advices and unsettled weather conditions in the south. It was reported that the cot ton mills in Oldham, England, which have been closed for some time be- cause of labor troubles would re- sume operations next Tuesday. The market turned easier during the mid dle of the day under continued southern hedge selling and a renewal of local pressure.
 The latter was encouraged by the absence of any aggressive support, thstandng the heavy rains re- ported in eastern belt sections and the low temperatures in Oklahoma and the selling became more active during the early afternoon. October broke to 23.55 and January to 21.30 or 73 to 8S points net lower on the active months. Local brokers attrib uted the pressure chiefly to contin- ued southern hedging. Two private crop reports were published, one making the condition 56.7 and the other 58, both figures pointed to more than the normal September de- tcrioration.

said Dr. Hill "This insomnia is the starter of worse things than just it. self if you fail to obey me. But you will do it, won't you son ?" he inquir- ed earnestly.
 "How long do I have to take the rest cure" asked the patient, trying hard to smile.
 "Three months, maybe longer"
 "What do you want me to do?"
 "Leave New York. Get out of civil ization entirely. Rough it. Hunt fish, climb mountains, sleep on the ground But remember, son, it's got to be miles from telegraph and tele- phone stations and you are not to take a secretary"
 ooh, you think business is the cause-'
 Dr. Hill raised his hand.
 "I don't think, son." he said, inn rrcssively. q know"
 "You said athletics"
 "Laid the foundation and Wall Street is finishing the job," interrupt ed the doctor.
 Athletics ought to be good for a fellow" ventured John De Haven.
 "Is, too," agreed pr. Hill, "but not athletics that a man makes work of like you did. If you hadn't been so confounded ambitious, son and had been willing to let some of your team mates help win the games, things like this wouldn't have happened. And now since you've been in Wall Street you have tried to do half dozen mems work and you are ready for the toboggan. You would be an old man in two years if you kept it up, and in five, if you lived, you would be down and out, mentally, in all likelihood, as well as physically

in athletics for nearly two years How could it be overtraining
 Sen, listen," said the doctor. He had brought John De Haven into the world, a pink little squirming thing nearly thirty years before. "You are strong man, powerful and big. You have gone into things with too much ealnestness, business as well as ath- letics few years ago. And it is get ting you. @
 Y "The damage was done son." he went on, "when you were playing football. You trained too many times trained too hard and trained toe long. Then you put every bit of your nervous strength into an effort and the result is thatNif you are not careful, if you are not made to do exactly the right thing now, you will go sto pieces"
 Hard to believe, doctor," said John De Haven "I feel all right, my weight is normal and Pm as strong as an OK"
 "Why did you send for me then ?' asked Dr. Hill, fixing him With hls steady look.
 "Couldn't sleep-insomnia.'
 "Uh, huh"
 Dr Hill raised his hand, pursed his lips and softly began to whistle. a little trick eh had.
 "That's all, doctor l just couldn't sleep. There's nothing else the mat ter, though"
 "Nothing else, eh? Isn't that enough that a man can't sleep, a healthy strong man like you?"
 John De Haven admitted reluctant ly that insomnia was bad for any body and that healthy, strong man such as he was ought to be able to sleep.
 You ought to sleep like a baby"

Buenos Aires, Oct. Ion a street in Buenos Aires which might be call ed the backwash of the world judg- ing from the human derelicts cast up. from every stream and every land, a North American COW puncher of the old West is conducting rescue mis- sion where hungry children are fed and tired souls are comforted. He is John Calvert de Bohun, who says he twas born on the hurricane deck of cayuse" in New Mexico.
 Cowboy, jockey, wanderer, and fl- nally ordained minister, Bohun's life has been such as to make him one with the dead wood that drifts into his mission, as he tells history, and his redemption to bodily mad spiritual health a parallel to that of some of his people. There was a time, he says, when American whiskey was no longer strong enough for him so that he satisfied his appetite with Chinese whiskey, which is like drink ing mixed turpentine and banana oil Becomes Minister.
 i But through the years came glim- pses to him of something better. A touch of remorse in Australia, good example in Europe, the sight of a woman reminded him of one "he used to know" the influence of Father Damien, who gave his life to the le- pers of Hawaii and who was so loved that there was scarcely dry eye in grog shop or ships cabin from Ma nila to Melbourpr when he died, such things made t n wonder, And fi'
 nally worn and world knowing, wher
 he drifted back to that New Mexico from which he had started and found "Tom the Devil" preaching in stead of running the old gambling l game, and later saw others follow 1T Ks steps, Bohuh says that the ight l esme toshimA Hefbscams minister

American Cow Puncher Conducting
 Mission in Buenos Aires Street

Bohun's mission is located in a building something in appearance like San Antonio's Alamo, and with a history as eventful as those who repair to it. Built for a Masonic lodge many years ago, it has been variorsly dance hall, gambling house, headquarters of the Black Hand in Argentina and is now com bination church, school, orphans home and first aid to the morally injured
 In the room where once women and men drank and danced, now there are religious services in Spanish, and between times children, seldom less than 100 of them, at lunch or sup per.
 Children of every race and relig- ion are fed there. Other work of the mission is with lepers, and with old men and women. The mission of which Gohun took charge about four years ago, is not maintained by any organization, but is held together by free will subscriptions.
 When Bohun talks with visitor particularly with an American who knows the West, his references to his work are mingled with sponta- ncous tales of "hard riding and hard shooting men," Of John Wesley Hard ing, for instance, the frock-coated gambler of Fl Paso, who, Bohun says had killed 14 men, but twas every inch gentleman and always killed with regret" of Calamity Jane whose story was bound up with the flight between, law and things as they were that desolated Tombstone, Ari, zona; of Mo1oso, king of cattle thie- lves; of Wild Bill Hikok. who met his end at Dodge City; and of many more I who made the West place of TO. 4 nance Minister though he is, he is I still a cowboy, bent on getting his '|herd safe knto the final sround dsnp

 Police have recently been attend ing all such Sim Fein Courts. They have not interfered with the proceed ings but have taken the names of those engaged so that they may sub- sequently be tried by courtmartial. It is generally agreed that the gov ernment has now the most complete powers against the whole machinery of Sim Fein but there is some doubt whether it will strenuously employ them. It will have to deal with hunger strikes on large scale in the prisons.
