Rain

Wen clouds get too heavy and
start to leek, the result is rain. If
they jest leek a little its ony a
sprinkle, but good size sprinkel
is drizzel and if it starts to driz-
eel harder than usual its proberly
RELY raining, and the next harder
thing than that is wen it rains like
the dickins, Rain is RELY nuthing
but waiter all divided up,
Its fun to wawk in a sprinkel or
small size drlzzel without a UNI
brella on account of having all the
sensations of being out in the rain
exsept the sensation of getting wet,
but proberly If you ask your
mother to leeve you go out in a
sprinkel she will think there's no
sents to it and say so.
If you have eny doubt about
wether or not its going to rain the
ferst thing to do is look up at the
sky and if there's no clouds there
at all it would even sound foolish
to mention to enybody that you
don't think its going to rain, and
if there's ony a few small size
clouds moving Ground in different
places its still a nice day, but il
its all dark and fearse looking and
you get hit in the eye by drop
of water wen you look up, its time
to take your umbrella.
Enuff rain is good thing, es-
peshilly for flowers and farmers.
vile not enuff is bad and makes
deserts and too mulch is still verse
and makes leeks and floods.
Its sure to rail- sooner or later
IL you ony waite long enuff, the
ony trubble being that its libel to
come down wen you'd drather 1t
would stay up and vice virtue.

CHRISTMAS WINDOWS

Store window dressing become an art
attains its climax in the pre-holiday
period. What would the Main Street or
Central Avenue of any village or
the shopping centers of the great
cities be without the decorations
and Examinations of the store fronts?
The streets without store windows seem
dull and dead in contrast Where the
windows are the throngs pass and repass,
pause, attracted by the display, to see the
latest novelty, to admire the beauty of
the exhibit or the artistic effect pro-
duced by the skill and taste Of the decor
ator.
Many of the windows, too, are simply
expressions of the beautiful in which
merchandising is eclipscd by he spell of
art, but the inspiration thus provided
finds reflection in countless homes and in
mutual benefit.

Chicago, Dec. 14-Renewed gen.
eral buying carried wheat, corn

WAS
 CAUSED IN COTTON
 BY WEATHER NEWS
General Staple List Closed Steady at a Net Decline of Eleven to Twenty
 one Points
By Associated Press

New York, May 19,-Improving weather news led to more or less liquidation in the cotton market here today. with October contracts selling off from 2O.2Sc to t9.94c and closing at 19.96c. The general market closed steady at a net decline of Fl to 21 points. The market opened steady at an advance of 1 to points with active positions selling about to : points net higher right after the call owing to rallies from an opening de- cline fin Liverpool. favorable Man chester trade adviees and overnight reports of a good spot demand.
 This bulge met considerable seli- ing, part of which seemed to come from the south and prices quickly eased off some 15 or 20 points from the best but rallied during the mid dle of the morning on private reports of rain at some points in the south west. New Orleans was buyer on this advance and there was covering by early sellers who seemed to be nervous over the weather outlook, but the advance was checked at 2O.46c for July and 20.14c for Decem- Der by the western belt forecast for generally clear weather.
 The detailed weathe report for the Houston district showed only a few slight showers which was disap- pointmeent to buyers on the forenoon bulge, and the market was easier during the middle oe the afternoon. July sold off to 20.20e and December to 19.9lc with the general list show ing net decline of about 15 to 20 points. Last prices were about the lowest of the day. Except for spurts of liquidation from time te time. trading was comparatively quiet.
 There were sixty-four May notices reported, but the May premium was well maintained. being 100 points over July at the close. Private ca bles reported that the labor disputes in Lancashire had been settled but Liverpool was seller here during the early trading. Weekend fig ures showing a decrease of 9S,611 bales in the worlds visible supply of American, attracted bullish com ment but were without apparent eff feet on the market

Overflows and
 Rains Figure in
 Weeks Trading
By Associated Press

New York, May 19.-Reports of further rains and additional over flows in the southwest led to sharp advances in the cotton market dur ing the earlier part of the week. All deliveries made new high records for the movement with May selling up to 21.50 and October to 20,6f making advances of 390 to 4S1 points or ap- proximately $20 per bale as com pared with the low prices of early last March. Realizing checked the advance at around these figures and there were reactions later in the week owing to reports of improving weather conditions in the south and continued profit taking or scattering ,liquidation. The early week buying on the weather news was encouraged by reports of an increased spot de- mand and favorable reports from the cotton goods trade. Sales of spot cotton as officially reported in the leading southern markets were heavier and there were also larger spot sales in Liverpool accompanied by reports of a good business in cot ton goods at Manchester.
 Reports from the domestic mar ket for cotton goods suggested that buying had been checked by recent advances but that large inquiries were being received which would re- suit in business if the advance in raw cotton was maintained.
 Southern advices attributed the better spot demand partly to the buying of exports. but also reported some inquiry from eastern mills st pposedly reflecting the firmer rul- ing of cotton goods. Foreign trade interests were said to he buyers of futures in the market here but the demand from both commission house and trade sources was reported less active toward the end of the week. There was considerable comment on the announcement by the department of agriculture of quarantine against the pink boil worm in sew eral southwestern sections, but the trade showed less interest in this than in the daily weather report
 The latter were regarded by To- cal brokers as pointing to low end May condition figures. but there was scattered selling toward the end of the week accompanied by reports that some traders regarded the mar ket as having discounted delays in the new crop start. Cotton has con tinued to reach here for May deliv- cry and notices representing about 1O7.000 bales are said to have been issued so far on May contracts.
