The meeting was held at the Car
negie Library, the use of which.
through the courtesy Of the board OF
directors of the library, has been
rendered the Legion for its meetings,
and all future meetings will be held
there. At this meeting more than so
per, cent of the active members were
present.
One of the importnt questions TAX
en- up by the Legion was whether
or not the local post would take UP
any secret work, which is optional
with individual posts. The Amcrl-
Gus post by a large majority voted
that all work and meetings Of the
John D. Mathis Post be open. The
secret work of the American Legion
is of highly patriotic order, but
the Americas post desired to have all
open meetings and no secret work.

COTTON CLOSES
 WILD DAY WITH A SMALL CAIN

Following wild gyrations before and immediately after publication of the government condition report today, the cotton markets became compara- lively steady and the final figures were at net gains of about a quarter cent over Saturdays close.
 Opening strong at stiff advances the market scared until gains of about S7 had been recorded immediate ly before the condition report was announced at Il o'clock eastern time. The estimated yield being of six aa1 one-half million bales being higher by several hundred thousand than aver- age expectations, prices crumbled at a rate seldom witnessed on the eX- changes, dropping the maximum limit of 200 points from the days high mark within five minutes. After the storm had subsided, however, a eady recovery began and continued until the close.
 New York December contracts clcs- ed p points net higher at 20.90 cents and January 33 points up at 2o.G6 cents. New Orleans December clos ed at 2O.49 cents, 23 points up, and January at POPS cents, 25 points higher. New York spots were ad- vanced 25 points to 21.35 cents and New Orleans spots were unchanged at 20.50 ents.
 On the local market prices were about unchanged to slightly higher than Saturday, with middling cotton selling at 23 cents. Receipts today, as is usual on Monday, were rather light.

II one bill for new institution should
be considered that way. they all
should receive the same treatment,
and accordingly they were all placed
upon the calendar the same day,
Senators Puffer. Wilson and myself
were the only members who voted
against each of these measures. Our
reasons were that the establishing OF
these Institutions would mean that
two or three years from row, several
hundred thousand dollars would have
to be appropriated by the state to
build proper buildings and furnish
proper equipment for carrying ON the
work for which they were established
and We did not consider that normal
educational institutions should be
established thru political trades. In
my opinion. normal school should be
constructed in the southwest part OF
the state and perhaps . junior col
legc on theWestern Slope, but they
should not be built until Colorado
can afford to properly finance them,
and careful consideration should be
given to their location.
do not think that any of these
bills will get out of the committee in

for the event which the day commem-

it is just as well for movie picture
