ARM1srIcE DAY CELEBRATION.
Many Enjoy Brilliant Program at
Community Church and Superb
Dinner by the War
Mothers.


A large audience greeted the War
Mothers and the ex-service men at
the Community church last Saturday,
when appropriate exercises were given
under the auspices of the, American
Legion. Cecil Jones, local commander,
presided with dignity and tact. Tho
War Mothers marched into the build
ing in body and occupied reserved
seats in the front of the building.
The service men, most of them attired
in their uniforms, marched in and took
reserved seats just opposite the War
Mothers.
On the platform were seated, bs-
sides Mr.. Jones, Rev. J. A. Hoffman,
A. r. Fike and John Booth
The program consisted Of a beauti-
full soprano solo by Mrs. Norbert Med
we'd, an excellent cornet solo by Jas.
Sutherlin, and piano duet by Miss
Rowe and Mrs. Hyde. All Of these
numbers were received with much fav-
or.
Addresses were delivered by Rev.
T. A, Hoffman, pastor of the Commun-
ity church, who spoke on "The Pow
er Behind the Throne. !" The address
was an apreciative review of the mag
nificent fighting qualities Of the
American boys in France. The great
initiative of tho men abroad was
traced to the tradition of the Ameri.
can mother. A fine spirit of fellow
ship exists between the American moth
er and her boy ,resulting in a noble
regard en- the part of the boy for his
mother. This regard, in turn, caused
the boys to steel their nerve and made
them resolve to keep clean on the
battlefield and return to America
with mind and body clean. Ella
Wheeler Wilcox has immortalized this
trait in beautiful poem, which the
speaker read, as follows:
I may lie in the mud and the trenches,
1 may reek with blood and mire,
But I will control, by the God in my
soul,
The Might of my man. 3 desire.
1 will fight my foe in the open,
But my sword shall be sharp and
keen
For the foe within who would lure me
to sin,
And | will come back clean.
I may not leave for my children
Brave medals that have won,
But the blood in my veins shall leave
no stains
On bride or on babes unborn.
And the scars that my body may carry
Shall not be from deeds obscene,
For my will shall say to the beast'
"Obeyiv
And / will come back clean.
John Booth, speaking on "Some
Evil Consequences Of the War; re-
vealed the excellent type of scholar
ship which he attained at the Univer-
sity Of Idaho. He rang true to his
usual form by eliminating the com
mon-place. The address was well
thought out and would do credit 70
many more pretentious orator.
Following the program, which be-
gan at IL, the War Mothers gave
sumptuousI dinner for the ex-service
men and their families. And such =
dinnerl But we couldn't begin to
enumerate all the good things, for we
were to busy storing away a goodly
quantity-we won't attempt to say
how much.

New York. July 1S.-The cotton market made poor response to the bullish weather news today. although it kept well above the previous close most of the session, and was finally 3 to points net higher.
 It opened steady and from IT points lower to points higher. Almost a result of support from Wall stret. New Orleans and the trade. based oh cry weather in the southwest, and continued showers In the eastern belt ing to a good many complaints of damage.
 The upturn continued until October reached 22.23c and December 2210c, by active pressure from room trad CTS who refused to be impressed with the dry weather and boil weevil news and sold the market rather freeiy on the idea that outside speculative interest was not large enough at the moment to sustain the market around these levels.
 Reactions of about 10 points oc- cured in the early afternoon and the market became rather dull until just before the close. when early sellers endeavored to replace their cotton and prices advanced, in some cases reaching best levels of the day. Crop news. which was again more or less conflicting, contained a good many complaints about the effects of dry weather in the southwest and 1t was the opinion Of many traders here that without relief in a week, the sltu- alton might easily became serious. The official forecast was for con- tinued dry weather in the southwest, and showers in the eastern belt. Ex- ports proved to be large again. ln- cluding 5000 bales out of the local stock for Japan and China.

HIGHER AVERAGE
 IN GRAIN PIT WAS YESTERDAY
Wheat Closed at Fractional Rise, While Provisions List Was Up and Down With
 Corn and Oats
By Assoclated Press

Chicago, July 18.-Uneasiness over the rail strike outlook brought about a slightly higher average of prices for wheat today, despite unusually bearish conditions for the spring crop. The close was unsettled at 1sc de- cline to ssc net gain, with September s112 to s112%, and December $1.14B. Corn finished unchanged to Ae lower. Oats unchanged to %c to Ac up and provisions varying from 1oc decline 1702oc advance.
 Wheat traders were early buyers today as result of the absence of any definite developments looking to a settlement of the rail situation. In addition, considerable buying winch took place was ascribed to milling and export account. A fairly good business with Europe was reported. Country offerings were represented, However, as of more liberal volume than usual.
 Crop news from the spring wheat t belt was the best so far this season. Checked upward swings in the mar ket and kept the range of prices mar row. Cutting of spring wheat is expected to get under way this week. Railway officials said that notwlth standing the strike they were pre- pairing to haul crop of record pro- portions.
 Corn was relatively easy owing to suspicious weather condition. An other bearish factor was talk of Ger many trying to resell corn. Oats were governed chiefly by the action of wheat.
 For the most part provisions were higher in line with hog values.

New Orleans July 1s.-Small advances in the cotton market today the result of buying stimulated by more favorable view of European political conditions and also of labor conditions in this country. Considerable interest arose the circu lation of a report that several coal mines about to start up again. The strength of English and French exchange was regarded especially favorable in connection with talk of scaling down of reparation requirements from Germany. In the early trading there were small gains In the face of poor Liverpool, and the gains were gradually increased until the noon hour they amounted to 21 to 27 points. Numerous small recessions oc- cured during the session. but such move ments did not last long. The eclose was at net advances on the day of IS to 2S points, with October at 2l.69c. October at it's best traded up to 21.75c.
 Crop and weather accounts were mixed usual of late. a little too much rain be- ing reported. according to the way many traders viewed the returns. The appear ance of the first bale of the crop In Georgia was something of surprise, and it was regarded rather earlier than usual, but 1t led to selling. Reports that gins in some. sections of south Texas were running night and day were offset by complaints of the prevalence of the weevl and also by considerable deteriora- tion in those sections of the west which are now furnishing the trade with new cotton.

Rails Were the Only Excep- tionS to the Higher Trend, But They Showed Much
 FirmneSS
By Associated Press

New York, July 1S.-The stock market today registered greater con fidence in settlement of present ad- verse factors by a general demand for shares of almost every descrip- tion. mostly at substantial ad- vances.
 Rails were the only noteworthy exceptions to the higher trend. but even in that quarter, firmness was shown.
 Pools were active in steels, equip ments and many kindred stocks, and oils ignored additional reduction in prices of crude products, as report ed by several of the largest dealers fin that commodity at western, southern and southwestern cen- ters.
 Crucible steel rose 6k points In the first few transactions and closed within half point of it's best at S3h. at a gross gain of 2ss points, re. tainihg all but d small fraction and General Electric Harvester Cult States Steel Sloss Sheffield Steel and several of the merger" shares were to 5 points up at their best.

Metals, feathers, rubbers, sugars and tobaccos contributed their quotas to the comprehensive dealings with several of the utilities, Sales amounted to 6S5,00 shares.
 The money market was easy until the final hour, when the 3 per cent rate call loans gradually rose to 4 and then 5 per cent, the latter quo tation ruling at the finish. Many 30 to 90-day loans were negotiated at per cent and longer were taken at 4A per cent.
 German marks proved the only exception to the almost buoyant tone of foreign exchange, sterling bills were 1%c over yesterdays final quotations. allied remittance rose 2 to 30 points and Dutch and Scandina- vian rates gained 10 to Is points.
