r. J. LINNELL a CO.'S LETTER

New Orleans, June 27.--Market scored sharp advance today in the face of heavy tenders on July contracts in New York this morning, estimated at about 150,000 bales. The improvement in market was due to better cables than looked for. pros poets for unsettled, showery Weather in the interior and because of a good demand having developed for July New York at 20 poinss under october on which ba sis the notices were stopped for Japanese and spot interests.
 Another buliish influence was monthly crop report of the Giles bureau, their re- turns averaging the condition of cotton at 7o.9 points to an average increase in acre age Of s1 per cent. indicating yield of only 1o,soo,ooo bales. stating that the weevil is menace to the crop and that the average height of the plant is inches against a normal of IA inches.
 Rairs seem to be setting in again in the interior, and while some moisture would probably be of benefit to the plant in localities. wet weather Is not wanted be- cause of the presence of the weevil in large numbers almost everywhere in the cotton region. It is reported that the gov- ernment entomologist reports more adult weevil In the cotton territory than from the first brood quantity hitherto. which conveys the impression that as result of the second brood weeyils are beginning to multiply, although private advices are to effect that they have been less active of late. owing to recent hot dry weather. July and August will be the critical
 
 widespread presence of the weevil. and should showery weather or rains prevail for any extended period, weevl situation would likely become more threatening, if not destructive: but if hot, dry weather. with occasional rains be the rule, the tcrop may continue to make favorable prog ress. which would improve prospects, which, however would have to be large ono for next seasons requirem ents.-H. and B.

as the darkest blot upon our other
wise splendid civilization" by Rep
resentative Theodore Burton, Re-
publican. Ohio, today. in a speech
urging passage OF the anti-lynching
bill.
1T Is a crime comparable only to
cannibalism and Is prevalent only in
the United States" Burton said
I'm the savagery neither race nor
sex has been spared and barbarity
almost beyond belief has been per
petrated."
Congress should prohibit lynching
as matter Of public policy Burton
said, insisting that 1t owed such a
duty Of protection to all OF its citi-
zens. In twenty-eight years Burton
said, lynchings almost equalled those
legally hanged. Three thousand and
thirteen were lynched and 3,193
were hanged, he said.

RENO OF EAST
Court Gives Divorce for
e Every Fourth Family in
1921
GROOM HOUSE
is HOME OF 300

WASHINGTON Jan. 17.-Inves-
tigation of the charges made to the
Virginia State Assembly that Alex
andria. just across the river from
Washington, is the Reno Of the
east" revealed these facts;
A total OF 557 divorces was
granted during the calendar year
1921 to individuals who swore they
were bona fide residents of Alex
andria. This ratio would allow one
divorce for every fourth family in
tie historic little city. The figures
are from the records Of the regis
trar OF vital statistics.
Three hundred souls live in a
nine-room house, according to the
records OF the divorce court. One
woman has made affidavit that this
number OF persons have occupied
rooms at her house for more than a
year. There are six bedrooms in the
house. The ahidavits have been ac-
cepted by the court as evidence Of
residence.
At the behest OF members OF the
Alexandria Bar Association, an in
vestigator looked into the divorce
system" II was found to be simple.
This writer will vouch that only one
thing has 1t outclassed for service
the turnstile in a serve-sef grocery
store.
You pay your money, swear TO
your afidavits and you are free
man OF woman in short order. II
YOU are away on a three weeks
business trip, you may return home
to find yourself a single man. "ss
OF two weeks previous" or II you
love your wife and can't boast OF
suing her for a divorce then sue
yourself in her name. It's all the
same-if you pay the price.
II you have one of these particu-
larly mean wives, just slip across to
little Reno" hang your night
clothes up In any one OF the many
houses provided for that service
swear you have been a citizen OF
that state for a year, and upon pay
ment Of the price you are soon
free man.
In twenty-four hours you cocld
20 from Washington to Chicago
While you are enroute your wife
can get a divorce in Alexandria and
be halfway to Florida.
Under the laws OF Virginia th'
requirements for divorce are three
years desertion by the defendant
with one years residence N tha'
State by the plaintiff.
Daily divorces are being granted
to wives and husbands separated toi
only a short time, where neither o.
the parties has ever been in the
state prior to their going there fol
