COTTON MARKET
CLOSES STRONGER
Profit Taking by Wall Street
and Outside Shorts Gives
Steadier Undertonc.

PROFIT taking by Wall Street and out
side shorts prom oted a steadier UNDER
tone In yesterdays cotton market after
II had dropped to this years new low
levels in the early trading. The decline
was 20 and 30 points and induced by re-
newed Liverpool selling and Liquidation
that developed with considerable in
tensity shortly after the markets open
ing call. The recovery took place in a
comparatively short space Of time.
mostly in the last half hour, when active
months came back TO about the level
of Mondays close. Final bids were a
little under the top. points net lower
to points net higher.
Bear ammunition in the early part
OF the session consisted mainly Of con-
tinued weakness in Liverpool and pessi-
mistic news from textile centers here
and abroad. That condition existed in
local goods centers yesterday. Prices
dropped to 16 points at the outset and
before the end Of the first hour were
about Il cent a pound less than they
were on Monday.
There seemed to be better display
of resistance on the way down. which
reflected a natural Improvement in the
markets technical position after the re-
cent increased selling. The markets
contract position. many thought, was
plainly oversold, but real buying power
necessary to bring about q sustained
advance continued to be lacking. The
market, apparently, needed new stimu-
lug.
Wall Street sentiment again was af-
| fected by the action of securities in
making another advance. The market
cannot expect much support from New
England mill interests until the wage
question be definitely settled. If enough
investment buying shall come into the
ring. however, 1t is possible that South
ern selling will make less impression.
There was no change in the local spot
market. which held steady and un-
changed at 1916 cents for middling.

St. Matthews Church Has
Christmas Tree Tuesday Eve,

At Saint Matthews church Tues
day evening the annual Christmas
tree and Christmas party We're held
in the lecture room, which was ap-
propriately decorated for the occa-
sion. The tree, tall and straight and
beautiful with it's glittering orna-
ments and Christmas tokens, was the
center Of attraction.
A short service, beginning at 1880,
preceded the distribution of the gifts.
At the close Of the service for a short
time all the lights except those of the
tree were turned off and the tree in
. all It's beauty and glitter shone forth.
Santa Claus then distributed his gem
erous remembl ances. which included
| not only pop corn, candy and oranges,
but a gift for each of the young peo-
pie.
Two gifts, one a large box of sta
| tionery, were given by the children
OF the church school to their rector.
Rev. Rush w. u. Smith, as tokens of
their appreciation of his work and
! thought fer them.
After the tree there was a party
for the people of the parish. young
and old. A delightful evening was
passed in games and social inter-
| course, and refreshments were served
to all. There was an excellent at
tendance and orc and all had an en-
joyable evening.

Seized Their OPPORTUNITIES

At the beginning of the great war,
Chlistiania tried to husband her man
power by employing women as street
car conductors. Some objections were
raised at first, but in time the travel
ing public took a real liking to the
ccnductorotte on the ground that she
was more civil than d mere man.
Though there has been no official or
der to reinstate mon, it is noticeable
that the women conductors have
gradually disappeared. Asked what
had become Of them, the chief of
transit in the Norwegian capital re-
piled that as they had constant OPP
portunity to meet men, so many OF
them he'd married that the rest Of

Modern Pirates Loot River Craft

Romance is not dead, even in
modern China, that strange blend of
East and West, Old and new" says an
explorer from there.
THE real thing still exists, and any
day one is liable to be held up by
pirates on the water and by brigands
on land.
For instance, take the following,
which actually happened to one of us
not long ago.
A missionary was travelling by one
of those filthy native passage boats
that swarm on the broad waterways
of the south. At the start the evil
spirits of the Vastly deep had been
duly warned off by the usual fusilade
OF crackers and burning of joss
papers.
by late afternoon all was going
we'll; that is to say. there had been
no breakdown for several hours But
suddenly shot rang out from a long
evil-looking boat that seemed to slip
out from nowhere. Pirates.
Understandable confusion and panic
reigned in our boats: but a good
many of the passengers-old hands,
some Of them-nade a very good use
of the remaining few minutes.
Zone sleek, prosperous looking
merchant from Canton, Immediately
took IN an old broom that was lying
about the deck. A very poor defence
against Mauser pistols? Yes, but
having wrenched off the handle, he
found the socket good hiding place
for q valuable diamond ring.
Several more swarmed into the
tiny, cvil-smclling cabin which had
been allotted to the foreigner. They
begged for him to take charge of
their valuables; and one young dandy
livid with terror, actually went down
on his knees and besought the mis-
sionary to pass him off as his boy
Every soon there was a whole COL
lection of watches and other yalu-
ables dangling from a corner rail,
while on the outside of the door a
hastily scrawleG notice was pinned
up: Don't touch the western man.
"Within a few minutes it was all
over. Resistance was useless, and
the visitors slipped away with their
loot.
by this time darkness had des-
cended, swift and silent. Sorrowfully
the victims got under way again and
made for the lights of home, now
only a few minutes distant.
But, alas. the incredible happened
so much stranger is truth than fic-
tion-they were pirated again
Nothing was left this time; the
steam launch was disabled. and the
wretched passengers had to tear up
planks and row themselves the last
few miles,

the right to make any good resolution

to Herbert Hoover. The intense cold,
even in the earlier part of the winter,
has prevented hundreds of thousands
of children, dressed in tatters, from
going to the A. R. A. Kitchens where
they get their one meal day. Adults
in a plight fully as desperate as that
of the youngsters, huddle with them
in their unheated homes. The price
of fuel like the price OF clothing, is
prohibitive. A shocstring in Russia

Owner of Shiloh
Objects to Valuation
Placed on PROPERTY

Durham, Dee. 26.-Judge H. T.
Coolidge of Lisbon Falls, who pur-
chased the Shiloh property in this
town from The Kingdom, Inc. little
over a year ago, has advertised the
property for its taxes in the amount
of s571.0S. This property is valued at
about $4,000. Judge Coolidge applied
in the October term of court to the
Androscoggin County Commissioners
for an abatement and refuses to pay
the taxes until a decision is reached
by the commissioners. He does not
feel that the property is worth the
assessed value of $4,000. In regard

perty for soldiers sanatorIum. Mr..
Coolidge states nothing more has

Oif-Well Adventure

An oil well that is being dug to any
considerable depth usually has
twenty-inch casing in the upper part
and a small slender man could get
down in one Of that size. In fact,
such a feat was recently performed
near Los Angeles by Walter McCay
OF Taft, Cal, who is known as the
human gopher" a master rotary
bushing had been lost in the well and
the only way in which it could be
got out without destroying the well
was to send a man down after it,
The tool was lodged at the 10 foot
level. McCay was lowered into the
well with one inch rope and wore
a gas mask attached to an oxygen
tank from which air was pumped to
him constantly. 1t was necessary for
him to make six descents before he
succeeded in graphing the lost tool
and he spent almost an hour in one

The Snakes Dinner

A Welsh naturalist says: zone
day while hunting for specimens in
the early summer with friend, we
came across a fine snake; measuring
it, we remarked sort OF protuber-
arce or lump midway between it's
head and its tail. We took no fur
Their notice Of this, carrying the
snake with it's head downwards, till it
appeared that the lump moved grad
ually towards the tail. Fastening
a piece Of grass to the end of it's tail,
and hanging it to a tree, we anxious
ly awaited the result. At last it's
mouth began slowly to open, and a
large toad made its appearance. The
toad was covered with a greenish
slime, and after some minutes re-
covered, and was, seemingly, little
the worse for its Imprisonment. My
friend still has the snake and toad
preserved in spirits of wine. The
snake was the common gray, and not
by any means the smallest of that
kind that l have seen"
