remains that the government did add 500. 0o0, 900 to the

OF LIVING.

The cost of living is always 4 fruitful subject Of con.
versauon. It is = subject in which all OF us are interest-
81. And in any consideration Of the cost Of living, At.
tentlon must be given to the standards Of livins. Est.
mates on the one are nice ningless without information on
the other.
Economists of various grades have devoted a great
deal of labor to the compilation of statistics on the cost
OF lav1ng Tor the average American family, and have at
tempted to ascertain the minimum income on which it
lis possible for the American family to i've in accordance
with what are held to be American standards. Each
Investigator arrives at a different result, but it Is notice.
liable that a large number Of them reach the conclusion
that an annual income Of somewhere from $1,000 is nee
lessary to enable the American family Of five persons to
live in comfort and decency.
One result of Investigations conducted on this basis
lis to create the impression that the individual who re-
.ceives less, say, than $4,000 a year is being underpaid,
|ployer is held responsible for this alleged wrong.
Sometimes the blame is placed on the social and
4 economic system which permits this wrong to con-
tinue. More often employers as a class are charged with
the deliberate perpetuation OF a system which permits
/ them to exploit their felowmen. and employers ana sys-
tenn are condemned together.

There viii be = dinner Of unusual character on June
ls, one OF its interesting features being its long distance
character. We are doing a good many thing at long
range these days but a dinner is usually supposed to be
4 rather intimate affair on which. communication at close
range 10 necessary. THIS dinner IL different. 1t is to be
in -commemoratton OF the 14sth anniversary Of the found
Ing of the United States Q~uartermaster Corps. a body
which was established in IT'S in. Carpenters hall in Phi
ladeiphia, and which has been in existence ever since.
The "long range feature Of this dinner will lie in. the
fact that tables will be Get from Coblentz to China, and
from Panama almost to the Pole, on three continents,
and in all the insular possessions of the United States
The dinner win be the first Of its kind ever held. and the
diners will exchange greetings by all the means OF COM
naunieation availsble.
T. It is pleasant, In tha1e days Of criticism of almost
everything, to read Of an organization which, during such
= long existence, has established a record so honorable.
In hts foreword to the diners Major General H. L.
Rogers, ouartern1aster General Of the Army. says today:
During the 146 years Of It's existence the Quarter
master Corps has expended the stupendous sum of ap-
pfoxannately fourteen billion dollars, and never has the
Corps been involved in a scandal Of any kind. The mag
nitude Of the work being done today By the Quartermaeter
Corps can best be realized by the fact that approximately
IS per cent Of the annual appropriations made by Con
sress for the maintenance OF the Army IL expended by
the Corps. During the fiscal year 1920, for example,
our outlay was 347s.oso,ooo."
General Rogers has been elected President of the new
Society Of Quartermaster ofhcers. This enthusiastic Or
sanization now has several thousand members, end unlike
other military societies, it. includes representatives Of all
the Arms that stood behind the men behind the guns in
war time, as well as civilians who held commissions in
the ouartermaser Corps. Thomas A. Edison recently

NERVOUSNESS WAS {. SHOWN IN COTTON, l. CAUSING A SETBACK
There Was a Steady Close With Last Quotations Show ing Net Decline of Twelve
 to Nineteen Points
By Associated Press

New York. February 1.-The cotton
 market showed continued nervousness
 today and there was a further sharp
 break in prices March contracts sold
 off to 1G5Sc, or i1 points net lower. and
 more than cents per pound below the
 high price touched on the January rally,
 This carried it back to within 70 points
 of the seasons low record. and there
 were rallies in the late trading on cover
 ing, with March closing at 1S.S5c. The
 general market closed steady at a net
 decline of 12 to 10 points
 The market opened steady at a decline of to Il points in response to lower
 Liverpool cables, the lower opening of foreign exchange and reports of declines in southern spot markets late yesterday. Selling was not particularly active or general, but there was scattering liqui- dation as well as some local and south ern pressure on the break, which carried active months % to 47 points net lower during the early afternoon. May coa- tracts sold off to 1S.S2c and July to 1417c. and the decline was accompanied by re- ports of an easier spot basis in the Att itiitiCs HeTe WdS d SOOu ueal or cover Ing at the lower levels of prices, how ever, and probably some buying for a reaction in the late trading, with last prices showing rallies of 20 to 30 points from the lowest The conflicting opin- ions expressed with reference to the Ger man indemnity agreement seemed to have had confusing effect of sentiment and probably rendered the market more sensitive to the talk of bearish statistics and possibility of increased spot offer ings with the advance of the planting season. Liverpool cables reported con l tnued depression in Manchester and said mills had fair stocks on hand. The re- ports of an easier spot basis were con sidered partly responsible for the renewal ! of March liquidation and realtive weak ness of near months.

New Orleans Cotton Vfx, A..A.sat.I p~nku


 New Orleans, La. February 1,-While the trend was lower during the better part of tho session in cotton today, there vas sudden turn toward steadiness in the last half hour of the day when shorts took profits and the consequence vas that last prices showed losses of but to 27 points, whereas at the lowest levels the market stood A to 40 points down. March traded as low as 13.20 and closed at 1342.
 The selling was due to variety of causes. chief among which was the un- favorable opinion regarding the political situation abroad Liverpool came r worse than due and this caused the low CT opening A little later the break in the foreign exchange market, the fall in silver and in English consols and reports of tighter money in domestic markets attracted attention.
 Lowest levels followed the circulation of government publication calling att tention to figures showing that produc- tion was far in excess of consumption. At the weakest stage of the day shorts commenced to take profits in a large way and before long the demand from them grew to such proportions that the ring could not readily supply it. with the re- suit that the tone of the market im- proved.
