Clean Up And Beautify

Spring is fast approaching and
with the coming there should be an
awakening in the minds Of every
citizen of the desire for more beau
tiful and attractive homes and yards.
Flower planting time is here.
Garden planting is also in order.
Attractive front yards and productive
size and back yards are indications
Of thrifty home owners and tenants.
Paint may be too costly to be used
this season but attractively arranged
flower beds, lawns free from weeds
and well kept. will enhance the
beauty Of ones home many fold.
The beauty or unattractiveness Of
any neighborhood is the sum total
of beautiful or i'll kept condition Of
single homes and yards of that leigh
borhood.
Civic pride and beauty depend In
their final analysis upon the indi-
vidual pride and love of order.
Let us make our homes more at
tractiye Let as contribute our share
toward the spring renewal of our
several neighborhoods by doing our
share of identifying and rendering
more attractive our own places of
abode

Dear Gertrude;
You have called for an opinion on
one of my hobbies. If there is any
thing ] do believe in, ii is the school
room. do not believe anything
should keep child out of school,
save sickness. A child should have
rubber shoes and an umbrella, so that
rain is no barrier and warm cloth
ing for extreme we Their I certainly
think that a dauR hter ought to share
the hard work of che family. 1t seems
to me- however that the washing
could be done after school in the
afternoons rather than have the dau-
ghter lose one-fifth of her time for
education She might not do any bet
ter in school, but your conscience will
always be clear in that you gave
your child every opportunity for well
doing and any failure will not be
laid at your door | have noted that
the women whom Fortune has favor
ed less, women who have to rise early
to wash or wash at night, do it with
less complaint and their children are
always at school and clean-while
other women, who are able to buy
conveniences and have some help with
their work are more willing to scri-
flee their children and compromise
their education. No, a thousand times
no, do not keep your daughter out of
school. Plan your work for after
moons and Saturdays. 1t is a fine
thing to get your work all done early
in the week and out of the way, but
consider 1t a far greater accom-
plishment to prepare women well,
for life's duties.

New Orleans sotton Rr Assoniufad Rraaz


 New Orleans, January 2S.-Declines persisted in the cotton market today throughout practically the whole ses- sion, except that toward the close a bullish interpretation was placed on news from Paris regarding modified tion of French demands on Germany, and shorts covered in large way, with the result that almost full recovery came about, prices rising to levels , points up to points down, compared with yesterdays close. Last prices showed net losses of ? to 6 points.
 Early selling spressure was due to poor cables,~ claims of quiet and easier tone in American dry goods markets and private messages from Liverpool noting further short selling by Manchester and telling of rimors that some English mills were closing for an indefinite period. The decline was gradually widened until it amounted to 26 to S4 points, March touching 13.92c. Lowest levels fol- lowed telegrams from Fall River estimating the weeks sales in that market at only 10000 pieces of cloth. More or less selling also was caused by the small mill takings for the week, Hester estimating world takings of American cotton at 221,00O bales against 292,000 this week last year and 2S7, ,O00 this week two years ago. The market acted oversold in the early afternoon, and for while it dis played marked steadiness, softening a little, however, just on the close.

WHEAT MARKET WAS
 MUCH UNSETTLED OWING
 TO GOVERNMENT REPORT
By Associated Press

Chicago, January 2S.-Uncertainty as to the interpretation to be placed on gov ernment figures regarding supplies of wheat in the United States did a good deal today to unsettle the wheat market. After much whipsawing prices closed ir regular at 1Ac net lower to 1Ac advance, with March $1.6o1a to SI.S5& and May $1.53A to s1.53A. Corn finished s4c off to Ac up; oats 1sc down to a like gain, and provisions showed rise of to 9 cents.
 It was only when trading was entirely over that definite announcement was posted, saying the government figures on the domestic wheat supply excluded farm stocks held for feed and seed, and represented marketable wheat alone. From the outset price changes in the wheat market resulted chiefly from op- posing interpretations of the government report. Values dipped at. the start. then sharply advanced, and later fluctuations almost haphazard, bulls contending that supplies for the remainder of the season would be scanty and bears asserting the contrary. Another source of confusion was a conflict of estimates on the world carry-over.
 Corn and oats were governed by the action of wheat, but kept within narrow bounds. Liberal receipts of corn contin- ued. Higher quotations on hogs gave strength to provisions
