There amt doubt In my mind that
Valent ne Morgan Brewster is one of
the worlds finest little hiers. During
the celebrated quarrel in Europe he
must have shook one Of the nastiest
planes in the surrounding atmosphere.
For nobody but a champion wearing
a necklace of horseshoes could have
cut US through the air like he whizzed
to that address beyond Stonehurst and
landed alive.
I think 1 inhaled more sensations on
that dash than there are bacteria in
an elephant. Being used to doing my
travelling on the weu-known ground,
anyway, I suppose the most ordinary
air journey would have handed me
great gobs of excitement. But this
daredevil Brewster had the chius jazz
ing along the old backbone until it felt
like another Arctic Circle.
And when we came down to earth
with a thump that. nearly busted US
up in my business. my heart had
f1ocked clear up in nay throat and was
trying to bounce out between my teeth.
Never did greet any old lady SO joy
fully as Mother Earth when we crawled
outa the sky bus.
We had 20 leave the machine and
duck a few curious birds, and walk
nearly a mile to get to the address
Lois Chandler had told me about. Both
of us had taken guns along, and I
knew there would be leaden greetings

Brewster, pride or no pride, still
thought slightly more Of Lois Chan
dler than his right eye, both arms and
legs, and a few other trifles. The
thought of her being in danger had
driven al the soreness outa his sys-

many church brotherhoods because of
his work for the unity of the people
Of God of all churches.
Our great plea is for Christian union.
Christ prayed for union of the church
and we believe that prayer will be
answered We must be tolerant and
patient. All of our Protestant churches
believe we must have faith in Christ,
repent Of sin and be baptized If we
would enter the kingdom OF GOD. All
of us believe we should be called
Christians. Why add any other name :?
Why not be Christians only?
Services are to continue at the
church the remainder of the week. All

COTTON WAS LOWER
DURING PAST WEEK
Early Gains Replaced by Net Losses
of from to IS Points.

NEW ORLEANS, March 13.-WhiIe
moderate advances We're made in the
early sessions of last week in the cot
ton market the trend of the week, on
the whole, was toward lower levels.
Early gains were replaced by net
losses and on the close the trading
months were four to Is points under
the level of last weeks close. From
net gains of 40 to 81 points at the
highest levels the market fell off to
net losses of eight to 81 points at the
lowest levels. May traded up to 1922
and down to 1914, closing at 1914. In
the spot department middling lost 25
points IN the net results, closing at
1875 against 41.00 cents this week last
year.
The lack of a spot demand of any
consequence, continued pessimistic ac-
counts from the Liverpool and Man
chester markets, further financial
troubles abroad and on the end Of
the week, reports of new movement
to curtail among domestic mills were
among the reasons for the downward
trend, which at all times was retarded
by the tendency of shorts to buy covers
in order to realize their profits The
early advices Of the week were due
to the belief that the allies and the
Germans would be able to get togeth-
er in the matter of reparations and
the selling that followed the initial
gains was due in large measure to
over the failure of ne
gotiations and the subsequent move
ment of troops into Germany.
After the middle of the week, how
ever, a less unfavorable view of for
eign politics was held and the deveI-
opments in Russia We're looked upon
as likely to furnish something con-
structive to work on the long run.
Investment buying made its appear
ance in a small way in both the spot
and future departments and not a few
brokers predicted that this sort of de-
mand would increase on any recess
sions into new low ground. In the
spot department investment buying
to be confined to the low
grades at the wide discounts which
st!ll prevail on them. Differences in
prices of spot grades, however, stead
lily are narrowing and at the end of
the week the average discount on low
taking the prices Of the 10
designated spot markets of the coun-
try, was 293 points. About two weeks
ago 1t was $50 points off middling.
Too much rain fell in the belt to
allow the weather to be called very
favorable and if the rains continue
this week they are likely to be mar |
ket factor for the time is almost here
when planting should be spreading
over the more southern portions Of the |
belt.
Much interest will be taken this |
week in the census bureau report on |

and the figures on consumption are
likely do dominate fluctuations on that |

NEW YORK, March 12.-With en-
tries closing here tomorrow, Japan
filed his challenge for the Davis cup
last night, making the 18th nation to
signify its intention to compete for
the international tennis trophy in the
1921 matches. Japan is a newcomer
in the historic competition but the
challenge was not unexpected. The
remarkable progress recently made in
tennis by players like Kumagae and
Shimidzu indicated that it was only a
question of time before Japan would
be represented.
