EXPORT DEMAND REV|v|NC
IN NEW YORK COTTON
Larger Spot Sales Reported in I.iv-
crpunl Declared to BE Cause
of Increase.

MEM YORK, July l5.-Thc action
OF the cotton market during ;he pas,
week has hccn regarded by local
traders as rclcctinG increased con-
fid.nce in rcviving export demand,
and continued apprehension Of 4
short crop. but also the presence OF
considerable cotton for sale in the
south around the prevailing level OF
prices, Tho first two factors are
supposed to have accounted for the
tendency Of buying 10 become more
activ" ON dcclinYs while the latter
has been reflected in hedge sclIin,
and realizing. particularly on ad-
vanccs to about or above tho - cent
level for October.
The talk of incrca sing exports has
been encouraged by the larger spot
sales reported in the Liverpool mar
kct. and the modification Of organ
l2ed short time schedules in the Lam
caShirc mills According to cable adj
vices received today spinncrS OF
EEyptian cotton in lancashire have
discontinued tn" short time policy,
while spiuncrs in America have in
creased their running time from
twenty-four To thirty-fivc hours per
week. II is not certain that all the
mills using Egyptian cotton will i'm =
mcdiatcly go on fun time or that the
American section will immediately in
crease their hours. but they are now
believed to be at liberty To do so IL
their orders and fuel supplies will
permit.
The volume OF business In the
Liverpool spo; market has been the
largest for months, the daily sales
ranging from about 10000 to 10000
bales. They have included sales for
exports which on one day totallcd
! 900 bales and which have suggest
cd improving conditions on the CONT
| mont. On tho whole brokers say the
short crop prospect seems TO have
| made Il greater impression among
foreign spinners than at home, which
might be due to the fact that the mil
stocks abroad are small. while do
mcstic mills are nearer the large old
crop supplies held in tho South, Spo,
sales in tho Southern markets have
been running larger also and people
who are inclined to bullish views
maintain that scattering lots. which
otherwise he pressed for sale are now
being absorbed.

Resolutions of Respect


The following resolutions. of res
pect to the late Prof. C. X. Preus
were made by the executive COM
mittee of the DEBORAH Commercial
Club.
WHEREAS: death has suddenly
called from our midst, Rev. C. X.
Preus, President of Luther College;
and Whereas, the deceased was a
man who was honored, revered, and
respected, not for his natural abilities
alone, but for an unselfish life, de-
voted to service; for his position and
his work as an educator, for his
staunch loyalty and for his keen
interest in the affairs of his home
community;
And, Whereas, his passing from
this life of usefulness and service,
is a distinct loss, not merely a loss
to the Commercial Club of DEBORAH
of which he was member, but to
the entire community as well;
BE 1T THEREFORE, Resolved,
that we extend to the family, rela-
tives, and friends who are left to
mourn his loss, our heartfelt SYM
pathy, knowing that his memory will
be to you, as it will be to the entire
community, an inspiration and help

Be Progressive

Thousands of people are today
suffering needless pain. Why? Be
cause they persist in seeking relief
in methods which treat the effect of
disease instead of locating and adj
justing the cause. This is where
CHIROPRACTIC "puts it all over
these other methods. 1t locates the
cause and then proceeds to adjust it.
The effect then naturally disappears.
If you will continue to treat the
effect after knowing this, you have
no one to blame except yourself if
you continue to be an invalid the
rest of your life. Those who can
get well but won't get well, don't
deserve to get well. Brace up, don't
continue to treat the effect just be-
cause your grandfather and great
grandfather did so, because they
knew no better. You do know better.

play was Jones', taken by Lester
McCauley, who travelled for a hymn

took the part well is putting it mild

tributed lots of fun, and he was ably
supported by a fine cast, who re-

Public is Disrespectful to the
National Flag

1t was with keen regret that we
observed an almost uniform lack OF
proper courtesy to the National Flag
as it passed in the Memorial Day
procession. 1t is safe to say that no
more than 10 men along the entire
line of march rendered that courtesy
by removing their hats as the colors
passed.
We hesitate to believe that this
disrespect is intentional on the part
of the public; but we will be obliged
to come to that conclusion if there
is in the future a REPETITION of last
Mondays misconduct. Is it to be
said of DEBORAH that she is utterly
lacking insthe reverence that is due
to the Flag and all it represents
We sincerely hope not.
For the information of those who
have not informed themselves as to
the proper conduct on the occasion
it is stated that when the Flag is
passing on parade or in review, if
you are walking, halt; if sitting,
rise, face the Flag, stand at atten-
ton, and uncover, holding the hat
to the left shoulder.
1t is, of course, not expected or
requested that women remove their
hats; but in other. respects, when
