Baby Finds a Father

On a sweltering day in June. 1918, one of the visitors of the Catholic Charitable Bureau took to St. Agnes Home a puny, sickly four weeks fn- fant The mother was a fraiI fickle minded, sixteen year old girl who had never known a mothers care and had stood serious abuse from a hard hearted father. The father of her child was at the front. The girl declared that she still loved him and wished to marry him.
 The Rkd Cross was asked to co-operate in bringing the young soldier to a fulhllment of his responsibilities toward the child. The Army Chaplain was asked to use his influence also. As result. the young man. upon securing an early discharge from the army, re- turned to the city and married the mother of his child. The baby, now fifteen months old was brought back from St. Agnes Home, a bright, robust. beautiful boy Thus did Baby Vincent come into his primal rights-a father and a mother.

SMOKESTACK FROM
MEMPHIS BY TRUCK

The smokestack of the gin of the
Roberts Cotton Oil Company, which
was blown down about ten days ago
by the storm, has been replaced by
new one, and the gin is running
day and night trying to take care OF
the rush of cotton that is coming in
The smokestack was replaced much
sooner than it might have been, had
the undaunted and enterprising
manager, F. M. Perkins, not secured
the service of Charles Trainor and
his truck and drove to Memphis last
Friday, returning with the smoke
stack Saturday. This is one demon
stration of the fact that the people
are fast becoming where they will
be independent of the railroads for
all sorts of transportation Mr.
Perkins needed the smokestack in q
hurry, and the railroad service be-
ing impaired by the strike, he
brought his freight los miles BY
truck over dirt roads. The smoke
stack was loaded on the dray il
three sections, being rivetel togeth
er after reaching here.

HAYTI A GOOD COTTON MARKET

King Cotton has been supreme in
Hayti this week, being brought to
this market as never before known,
and even this showing will pro-
badly be outdone next week, as the
picking of the crop will not be at its
best before then. There are many
fields around Hayti that no picking
has yet been done, and pickers are
badly needed, for the farmers are
very anxious to get their crops out
before bad weather sets in.

THE FIRST BIT OF TARIFF BUNC

Congressman Rhodes of the Thir-
teenth Missouri District, famous for
it's lead mines. is possibly the first
member of that body to discover the
magical effects of the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber tariff. The first week of the
laws operation has seen the price
of lead jump from $3.50 to $6.25
per hundred pounds, and zinc, he
says, has made as good if not bet
ter, gain. He ascribes this happy
result to the new scale of protection
under which, he prophesies, the zinc
and lead industries of the State are
bound to BOOM
AS matter of fact, the duty on
lead in the present law is the same
as In the Payne-Aldrich schedules
and not much higher than the I'm
derwood duty. AS to zinc, the pres
ent rate is fraction of a cent a
pound higher than the Payne-Al-
drich rate and but slightly more
than the graduated duty of the
Underwood law. The difference is
negligible and can have no material
effect in either industry.
Both industries have suffered "a
long, severe depression. But for
more than six months they have
been recovering. The tariff had no
part in the depression of either, or
the recovery Of either In the case
of zinc, an enormous surplus, oc-
casioned by the unprecedented price
of the early war years, had to be alb
sorbed in order to restore the mar
ket. The prosperity in the lead
business is due to the fact that the
country had to start In painting
again.
Mr.. Rhodes tariff explanation for
the improvement in the lead and
zinc industries is buncombe.-Post-

MATERIAL UPTURNI INV THE GRAIN PIT
 ON HOLDING BACK
By AssocIated Presa

Chicago. August 4.--Efforts to in duce farmers to hold back grain had much to do with bringing about a material upturn today in wheat. De- mand was on broader scale than for some time. The market closed from 1A cent to-2A net higher with September 1OSA to 1OSA and Decem- Der 1O9 to 109A. Corn gained s cents and oats s@5z to 1z@M. In provisions, the outcome ranged from 10 cents decline to cents advance.
 Wheat finished at nearly the best prices of the day, with traders giving chief attention to talk from influential quarters emphasizing benefits which it was said producing and mercantile interests would ob- tain through a slowing up of the rural marketing of grain. Previous sellers seemed to be especially i'm pressed and from the outset were conspicuous on the buying side. Ex- port interests, too, were active in purchasing, taking 725.000 bushe els here and 800,000 bushels at the sea- board.
 Corn and oats ascended with wheat. Provisions lacked buying sup, port, notwithstanding quotations on hogs.

COTTON DECLINE CHECKED BY A
 BETTERDEMAND
By Associated Pres.

New York, August IA decline in the cotton market was checked by the development of rather bet ter demand as prices approached the 21c level during today's earlier trading. After selling at 21.16c De- cember rallied to 21.5oc on covering, but there was no general or az gressive buying and the improve ment was not maintained. December closed at 21.23c or within points of the lowest, with the general mar ket closing barely steady at net decline of IS to 29 points.
 Liverpool cables were slightly better than due but the market here opened at decline of 1 to 12 points and soon showed net losses of 30 to 40 points under a continuation of recent selling. This, with reports of improving prospect for a break In the southwestern drouth and the New Orleans selling here was also accompanied by claims of increased hedging in the south. Rather more trade buying was reported, as prices eased off to 21.07c for October and 21c for January, however, and the market firmed up during the middle of the day on covering.
 There may also have been some buying on an idea that the market had been pretty we'll liquidated on the break of about 1S4 points from the high prices of last Tuesda~, and reiterated claims of a better out look for an early settlement of the coal strike.
 The detailed weather reports showing only few scattered showers and high temperatures in Texas, probably accounted for ,over- ing by the early sellers, but tenn peratures in Oklahoma were lower and there still appeared to oe a feeling around the ring that more favorable weather conditions might be expected in the southwest.
 This probably helped to check buying on the advance to 21.4ec for october and 21.42c for January, and there was renewed liquidation in the late trading. Port receipts, S.s41; United States port stocks, 41,279; exports, 11,555, making 2o,- 197 so far this season.
