in the early hours in the cotton market
today were succeeded by declines in the
later trading. A good Liverpool and ia
vcrable opinion of textile trade reviews were
back Of much of the buying, although n pri-
vate crop estimate of 1921 900 bales, accom-
panied by the claim that the crop was 80
per cent ginned. helped values some.
The selling was, to all appearances, of
the same character as that which has been
felt by the market repea tedly of late. Some
of it was probably done on the absence OF
a spot demand, some Of it result from the
fact that the market here tomorrow will
be closed In observance of All Saints day,
but most Of it seemed to be done on gen
eral principles. The bear element thought
the market could be depressed if the proper
supply of offerings was put out and were
willing to see that the supply was forth
coming.
The fourth ginning period of the sea-
son ends today and during the remainder of
this week, it is likely that much comment
regarding ginning will be heard. This
should balance to some extent at least,
bearish sentiment as it was displayed to-
day.
From advances over yesterdays close of
81 to 26 points. the market fell off to de-
clines of "a to 40 points below December
trading as high as 1s.40c and as low as
17.75c.

HEART AND HOME PROBLE EMS
Written for The State Journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are four
girls from high school and want your
advice concerning two basketball
teams from the same community.
Ours is a. high school team and the
other is an outside team. They want a
game with us, but it isn't the homo of
winning the game they want, it is re-
venge, because we have won other
games from them. They play boys
rules and we girls rules. When we
refuse to play them they call us
towards. Which are we, towards, or
are we doing right?
FOUR WONDERS.
Since you are accustomed to girls
rules it seems to me that it would be
foolish to play with a team used to
boys rules. I presume, however. that
a fear that the other team will win
this times does influence you in your
refusal to play. Since you have played
with the other team before and they
have taken defeat, it is only natural
that they should want to show you
that they can win as well as lose.
Theirs is a spirit of conquest rather
than of revenge.

THE PRESIDENTS MEssAGE.

A considerable portion of President
Harding's first annual message to
congress takes on the character of a
lecture on the advantages of a get
together policy. He suggests rather
than urges or demands.
While much consideration is given
to the subject of a permanent tariff
enactment, what the president says
on the subject might easily give rise
to the impression that he is discharg-
ing a partisan duty. His language
does not possess the true high pro-
tective ring. It seems possible that
the Fordneys and the Penroses may
regard him as a hereto.
The president expresses satisfaction
with what has been done in the di-
recto-- of tax reduction but let's it be
known that he Goes not regard it as
enough. He promises further recon-
mendations at some future time.
In suggesting constitutional
amendment which would forbid flu
tsIfe issuance of non-taxable securi-
ties Mr.. Harding aligns himself with
those who believe in taxing the peo-
pie on their Indebtedness as we'll as
on what they possess, 1t is doubt
full that this recommendation will he
favorably received by congress but if
it should be adopted it could not be-
come effective for several years, so
there appears to be little cause for
immediate worry on that score. It
might, however. make servfceable
material in a political campaign.
That portion of the message de-
voted to the relations of capital and
labor should receive the thoughtful
consideration of every citizen of the
country. It calls attention to the in
terdependence existing between the
two groups and points out the neces-
sity for a tribunal which shall have
power to settle disputes between
them. and thus eliminate the strike
and all other forms of industrial war
fare.
The message on the whole is
marked by an absence of any radical
ideas and is in decided contrast to
those to which congress has been lis
tening for some years past
