COTTON S|MASHES
TWO YEARS. RECORD

Spot cotton in Atlanta smashed
records for two years Monday with
an advance of 1915 a bale to
23.15, the first time the price has
been above the 23-cent level since
1920.
The sharp advance here reflect
ed a resumption of the bull move
ment in New York which carried
all active options up from $3.50 to
$3.50 bale over the previous close.
New highs were scored by July,
October. December and January
deliveries, the first going to with
in ten points of % cents. The old
high for July was 22.38.
In New Orleans July passed %
cents at 23.OS, the general advance
there being more than 81 bale
over the last Of Saturday. Spots
there were up 81 points at 22.75
and in New York spots were up
70 points at 1925, ten points high
er than Atlanta.
The fresh buying movement was
attributed to a report that foreign
spinners were becoming nervous
over the outlook for next season s
supplies and the resumption of un-
settled weather in the south.
The advance began in Liverpool
before business in America started,
with adVices reporting improved
trade demand for both spots and flu
lures and a more active demand for
cotton goods in Manchester.
AS bulls began their drive, shorts
rushed to cover sales of last week,
adding to the general demand for
future. contracts. The close of the
market found prices steady though
slightly off from the crest for the
day to profit taking Of the more
cautious operators.
The rise Monday carried values
something like $3.50 a bale over the
low levels of last week, about s35 a
bale over the low levels of last Feb.
ruary, and more than $50 bale over
the same day a year ago.
Rains that fell over the eastern
end Of the cotton belt Sunday
strengthened the belief that a fam
inc is in prospect, and it is not be-
lieved likely that more favorable con-
ditions from now on possibly could
promise Il crop sufficient to meet the
demand with the small carry-over.

Berton BraIey's Poem
SPEAKING OF READING

/ like the tale of the open trail"
The kind where the men are
men,"
Where the bad men clash and the
six-guns flash
And each bar is slaughter
I like the villains who wade in
''ki1lin's"
Till the hero shoots 'em dead
The bloody, CORY, galloping story
Where every page runs red
I like the girl who is in a whiri
OF peri1s and dangers vast,
Who thinks the hero social zero,
Yet marries the kid at last;
I like the twang of the western
slang
And the lure of the old frontier
Where the 100 per cent Ameri-
cans" went
In the stories of yesteryear:
I like the fights where they
doused the lights
AS they heaped the dead in a
mound,
Where each of the clan was two
gun man
With a private buryins ground;
I like a tale OF that kind because
1t brings to my mind again
The west as it probably never was
But possibly might have been!

START MEETS
WEEKLY LUNCHEONS TO BE
REVIVED AND CONTINUED
THROUGHOUT WINTER.
Local Speakers for
the First Meeting

Beginning on Wednesday, Decem-
ber l3, the Alma Chamber of Com
merce will again start the weekly
noon day luncheons which proved so
popular and so profitable to the mem
bers Of the organization last year,
bringing as they did each week new
speakers before the organization, who
brought before the membership new
ideas Of community building, and eff
fort
That these luncheons will again
prove popular and draw a large num-
ber Of the members each Wednesday
noon is not to be doubted, as the
lunches have always proven to be well
worth the price, without even consd-
ering the unusually good addresses
which were to be heard each week,
which invariably took up some inter
esting phase Of community endeavor,
and most frequently pointed out
things wherein Alma could well pro-
fit. Not only did they prove big
benefit in this respect, but a better
and finer feeling of fellowship be-
tween the merchants of the city was
developed and the problems of the
other fellow began to be appreciated
by the various members to a greater
extent than had been the case pre-
viously.
The luncheon next Wednesday,
which will open the winter season for
the Alma Chamber of Commerce will
bring before the organization local
speakers. These men will lay stress
on some of the efforts that the COM
munity should make during the COM
ing year, and others will sketch over
the efforts of the past year, which
has been an especially difficult one
for the Chamber of Commerce.
The past few months have demon
strated more than ever before the
need of close cooperation in the
city for the betterment of the entire
community and only by a constant
and ever increasing effort with the
desires and hopes of every individual
banded together for the betterment Of
all can real results be achieved. The
evident place for such effort and CO.
operation to be made is through the
/ Chamber Of Commerce, representing
the various spheres of endeavor of
the community, and hopes are held
that a large number of the members
will turn out for the next Wednesday
meeting and those that are to follow
at which various city problems will
come to the front looking for solu-
ion that will work for the best in
