ADJUSTMENTS BY ESTEILE BETHEA HALE
ALL ACTS ARE GOOD ON
 BILL, AT THE JOJEyy,S %IDOJ

A musical act with two girls, one at the piano and the other in song, opens up a fine bill at Loews Bijou for the latter half Both of the girls are pretty to look at and talented in their lines. The act and the closing duet between violin and cor nett played by the girls brought. hearty applause.
 In a rough and tumble turn Fran cis and Wilson entertain in the sec ond spot. Though these two tumble about most comically, they are grace ful about 1t, and later dance very en- joyably. They ended their act to a good hand.
 audience was the futurist jail bird act. This is done by two black face comedians in convict stripes. They are in Jail, but it is a jail of the future after some of the reforms have taken place, and it is some jail. The idea is very clever and there is much more than the fun caused by settings.
 Pheasey and Powell chatter and dance about the stage in an act which is quite entertaining.
 A big laugh was enjoyed in the last turn at the doings of several doggies in a, real dog drama. This act has regular settings and what might go for story plot. It goes smoothly and was much enjoyed.

 REFUSES ID TALK
Six Hours of Cross -Examina- ton Fail to Break
 Silence of Banker
By AssocIated Prcss

Poughkeepsie, June 30.-Six more hours of ross-examination failed to- day to break the silence of James A. Stillman, wealthy New York banker, on every matter having reference to his relations with Florence II. Leeds, former Broadway show girl, named by Mrs. Anne U. Stllman in her af- firmative defense against her hus- bands suit for divorce
 All day long Mir Stillman replied to question after question in one set way-"I refuse to answer on the ground that it might tend to incrjm- mate me"
 On only a few occasions did Mrs. Stillman,s lawyers succeeded in bringing out an informative answer. MT Stillman answered their ques- tions only when they referred to gifts of jewelry to his wife.
 Tonight it was announced that the cross examination of the banker had been completed He will return to the witness chair tomorrow, however. is his attorneys obtain Referee Glea- sons permission for redirect exam ination of subjects uncovered during
 the cross examination. It was said that MT. Stillman's lawyers would complete their case against Mrs. StillmaR tomorrow. so that all future
 hearings would be devoted to her counter attack.
 An indication of the nature of this counter attack came today fin the
 numerous questions which Mir Still
 man refused to answer, These in- | quiries. it was said. sought to bring ! out that the banker was intimate with Mrs. Leeds in New York, on 1 Long Island. aboard his yacht, the
 "Modesty." and elsewhere, and that
 she bore him two children. Jay Leeds,
 3s months old, and another, who died
 at birth in 1919.
 | The defense also sought to have
 the witness say that he showered
 Mrs Leeds with jewelry, bought her | fur coats, purchased an expensive | apartment for her in New York, es-
 tablished two trust funds of $l50,0OO 1 each for the former show girl and ] her son. and himself objected to go- | ing to Europe last year and the year
 before because to do so would have
 separated him from this woman.

HUnBAnD's COTTON LETTER

New York, June 3e.- Special. )-> Our market opened some 10 points down on weakness of Liverpool It was the general belief that Liverpool weakness was due to the liquidation of long July contracts in that mar ket. This caused our market to lose off on Wall street selling. The mar ket was steady, however, on the de- cline.
 The Journal of Commerce gives the condition of the crop as the worst in ! 20 years, with reports of great ac- tivity by the boil weevil.
 The weather map was as expected. The storm that was headed toward
 Vera Cruz showed little danger of doing any damage to cotton, as it is headed toward Mexico. Business was dull awaiting the government report
 tomorrow, which will be given out at 1:SO daylight saving time. We feel prices will remain steady in an
 ticipation of a rather bullish condi- tion eport.--Hubbard Bros. & Co.

of the valuable ASSETS to the farming
system of the STATE IN maintaining
soil fertility.
The barn should be 50 constructed

Quality of Animals Important.
This article would be incomplete
were the quality and type of livestock
to be fed omitted. As reference was
made to economy in feed and the same
applies to the animal fed. 1t is a rec
0gpized fact in commercial cattle pro-
fiuctiOn that to waste good feed on
poor quality OF cattle is expensive anc
lacks good business judgement. The
fact remains thaarAe animals carrying
breeding and duality will make more
economical gains on the feed consumed
than the inferior grade. This truth
has been found out by the history of
markets in years past.
The livestock farmer must be stu
dent of markets. When he has fin
ished his cattle he has a merchantable
product and profit or loss depend OH
his ability TO market it successfully.
Through the agricultural press as well
as the daily paper the Opportunity is
offered to acquire q knowledge of
markets and market conditions The
| farmer should ascertain the extent Of
supply and demand for meat not only
on his home market but also on that of
other sections. This enables him to
determine lust what markets 10 ship
to. 1t further assists him to feed more
tntelligently, since in surveying the
markets we find that in some light
