 But when three bobbed-haired 'tfappers'' said to have em;grated from Bridgeport, wore them last night at a .costume'' dance given by the Wears, a local social or ganization. in the Town Hall, the Chief decided that they were not in the ''coStEInc" class. He walk ed boldly out upon the dancing floor and ordered the fair wear CTS to the dressing rooms, inform ing them that they must ''eitiler put on some clothes or leave the halI.''
 Rather than have their evening entirely spoiled. the fair trio donned their long coats and danced out the evenings program encased in the heavy coats.

COTTON GOES

FOR RSPOTSHERE
Market Scores Another Good
Rise AS Spectators Awaken
To Crop Perils

The cotton market reached its
highest point in two years today
when all futures scared and strict
middling spots were quoted in Amer
icus at Il 1-2 cents. Somn small
selling was reported up to noon.
The market opened rather weak
on the exchanges, after a consider
able rise yesterday, as a result of
profit taking, and dorpped back
about Is points, in the face of an
extraordinarily strong liverpool mar
ket, buy buying set in strongly be-
fore noon and within an hour prices
had risean nearly half a cent. At
one point on the Ne wYOrk exchange
October delivery was quoted 26
points above July, and December
went over July for the first time,
being quoted II points higher than
the closer month.
The continued strength of the mar
ket today was attributed by cotton
men here to developing realization
on the part Of the spectators that
the world is actually face to face
with a disastrously short cotton crop
again this year and that price is
bound to be much higher than at
present.
at looks to me like cotton ought
to be worth a dollar a pound" said
