New Orleans, Oct. 9.-The trend OF
prices in cotton last week was lower,
the market making its highest levels
during the early bulgcs CT bureau day
and selling off each succeedign session
until Thursday. when it touched its
lowest. At the highest the trading
months were ll3 to l59 points over the
close Of the preceding week at the
lowest they were 9G to 1886 points un-

losses of 80 to 90 points December
traded as high as PISS, fell off to is. 90
and closed at 1886. In the spot de-
partment middling lost 65 points in
the net results, closing at 1850. A
year ago middling closed at 20.5O.
The first bulge of the week was
due to the smaller ginning figures than
expected, 2,907,950 bales produced to
September 25th, while the decline
OF the week was started by selling
based on the fact that the condi

200 bales was from 100000 to 500
600 bales larger than generally look ed
for.
As the week progressed it ran into
much liquidation and, for a while,
there was persistent hedge selling in
evidence. Late in the week it became
apparent that interests outside OF the

new BAKERY
BEING INSTALLED
Will Be Ready For Business On
Or Near Aug. !

Cookeville is soon to have a new
bakery and it is to be installed by a
local man. Chas. d. Kinds has sold
out his business on West Broad ST.,
and will devote his time and attention
to the installation of his much needed
industry, and will spare no pains or
expense to make it a success from
every viewpoint. He has already
bought his ovens and other equipment
and will put them in the brick build
ing on Cedar street recently vacated
by Lovelady & Pullum's feed store.
Mr.. Kinds will secure the services
of first class city bakers and will
cater to the needs of all the people.
He hopes to be ready for business in
a short while, and all he asks is that
the people give him a chance to sup
ply them, for he guarantees to fur
nish fresh bread at reasonable pric-
es, and in doins this he certainly
has a right to expect the patronage
of the people of Cookeville, who have
not had this opportunity in some
years, and have never had a first
class bakery such as Mr. Kinds pro-
poses to put in.

THE HERALD'S
OFFICES ENLARGED
Additional Quarters Necessary
To Meet Growing
Business

We are not superstitiOus, but we
sio believe in signs, especially when
they are placed conspicuously for the
purpose of letting the public know
jut where to find the place they are
looking for. And for this sole reason
We have had large sign painted and
stretched across the center of the
Arcade building, in order that all
who approach this building may see
that the PUTNAM COUNTY HER
AID is here to serve the public, and
has enlarged its quarters for the
purpose of serving them more ef-
ficiently. The Herald plant has not
been moved, but the editorial and
business offices are now in the Of
fees formerly occupied by Drs. J. F.
and Lex Dyer, ON the south side of
the Arcade, with an Arcade entrance
instead of back street entrance as
heretofore. The two sets of offices
have been connected, and, we are
really proud of our newly acquired
quarters, because we feel that the
additional facilities will be appreci-
ated by the public.
The Herald very much appreciates
the patronage received in the past,
and is striving to demonstrate same
by improving it's service to meet the
requirements of it's patrons. We are
giving the people of Cookeville and
Putnam County as good paper as we
can possibly publish, but We shall not
be satisfied with the present standard
and shall endeavor to make it better
and more interesting as time goes on.
This can be done with the coopera-
tion of the public, but without this
cooperation it will be impossible for
the Herald to grow and expand as its
owners would like to have it do.
There is a strong possibility that
we may in the near future be in a
position to publish semi-weekly
and possibly daily paper in Cooke
vile If the public will lend us their
whole hearted support in the under
taking, we feel safe in promising
them the best paper published in
Tennessee, considering the size of
our town.

THE PRESIDENT FACES FOREIGN
QUESTIONS.
Responsibility Shifted To Mr.. Hard
ing BY Congress

1t is generally recognized on Capi
tol Hill that responsibility for action
in the international situation ha,
been shifted from Congress to the ex
ecutive and senators are awaiting
the next move from the White House
subject to the technical declration of
peace with Germany.
The President now finds himself
facing the necessity of taking the
deciding action in several instances,
such as:
Whether to withdraw the troops
from Germany, in accordance with
the demand of an element in this
country, including the irreconcilables
in the Senate, or to leave them there
to satisfy the Allies, particularly
France
To submit to the Senate treaty OF
amity, commerce and navigation with
Germany, following the formal peace
resolutions recently passed by the
Senate and igned by the President,
ending the status of war with the
central empires.
To settle once for all the question,
regarding which there still continue
such conflicting reports of the posi-
bility Of utilization Of the treaty OF
Versailles in some Of its features, un-
derstood to be favored by Secretary
of State Hughes and one or more 9TH
er members OF the cabinet.
1t is the judgement Of the State
Department that formal proclama-
ton Of peace may be found advisable
on account of its bearing upon the
limitation of war statutes. It is also
the opinion of the State Department
that the retention Of troops on the
Rhine will be entirely legal, IL it is
the judgement of the President to so
direct.
It pointed out that the troops are
on the Rhine by virtue of the armis.
tice, and all rights of the United
States under the armistice are ex.
pressly reserved on the resolution OF
Congress just passed declaring the
state of peace.
While some Senators expect there
will be pronounced popular demand
for the withdrawal of our troops from
German soil, they realize that the !
as commander in chief |
Of the army and navy, has full juris-
diction in the premises, and 1t is TAX
en- for granted that a declaration by |
Congress would not go beyond an |
of the opinion of that
body.
