COTTON

NEW YORK, March 2S.-There
were further rallies in the cotton
market during today's early trading.
Liverpool made a relatively easy
showing, but the weather map was
unfavorable, while sentiment was
favorably impressed by Washington
adyices indicating that no lmmedl-
ate advance in rediscount rates was
e.,pe1tsd, and commission houses
Aad & good many overnight buying
orders. The opening was firm at
an advance of fifteen to thirty-two
points in consequence with July sell
ing I'D TO $3.50 and October to 25.42,
Or just about a cent above the low
level reached on the break of Mon
day. The advance was checked by
realizing at these prices and there
was some scattered southern selllng
but the offerings were absorbed on
reactions of eight Or ten points, with
the market showing a general STEADY
undertone.
The advance extended to 2S.6O for
JULY and 25.54 for October before
the end of the first hour as result
OF continued covering and reports
that those who had sold out long
cotton before the break were begin
ming to re-enter the market in the
summer or early new crop deliver
les. Trading became quiet at the
advance, however, the later forenoon
fluctuations were irregular although
the undertone was generally steady
and prices at midday were ~ to 4o
points net higher.
The market was unsettled early IN
the afternoon under renewed llqul-
dation of old crop months with May
easing off to 29.15 and July 1888, or
about q to 80 points from the high
figures of the morning. New crop
months were relatively steady on
the unfavorable weather in the
south and the general list ruled
to IS points net higher around >
o'clock.

FROM TRAIN
FAILS
"TaiI Wind" Prevents AViators
From Getting Close Enough

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 31-Ef-
forts of a daredevil to leap from
the top of the speeding New York
New Orleans limited, near Pal
metto, went for nothing when a
tail wind" prevented the aviators
from .throttIing down enough to
permit the rope ladder coming in
reach of the man on the top of the
train.
Two trains running side by side,
two airplanes flying low and Bon
ME Rowe, dancing a highland fling
and several other dance steps, on
the top of the mail train, gave hun
dreds of people thrill. even
though he didn't make the contem-
plated flying leap into the plane as
scheduled.
A special train made up in At
1anta went to Palmetto and took
the left-hand track running toward
this city. When the limited whis-
tied the special train got under
way, and when the crack train
came into view it was followed by
two airplanes.
One of these was piloted by Lieu
tenant A. B. McMullen and the
other by Doug" Davis. On the
wings of one of the planes Miss
Mabel Cody skipped around, keep
ing warm, she said, while she wait
ed for Rowe to grab the hanging
rope ladder.
Three attempts were made to
pick up Rowe, or by Rowe to pick
up the plane, depending on the
point of view, before the special
train was forced to slow down for
College Park, where the double
track ends.
The whole experiment lasted not
more than twenty minute ), but
each second was a thriller.
Most of the passengers on the
special train rode on the coal ten
der, where they could get a good
view of the attempted leaps.

II was not until the world war
came on that the American people
realized that the foreign policy Of
our government touched their inter-
ests intimately. Now this country
has suffered the loss Of 100000 lives
and 1t ran up q debt Of s26, 900, 000,-
900, and has had it's normal life
shaken up for 20 years, as the re-
suit Of difficulties growing out Of
international relations.
II is high time that the average
citizen was studying world problems
and how they affect us. II this ter
rible war has affected American life
disastrously for a generation, 1t 10
also true that results Of vital i'm
portance may be gained from favor
able international relations.
For instnace, an authority on
China recently declared that depOs-
it's Of anthracite coal recently dis.
covered in China would assure the
world a supply for thousand years
II those deposits could be made
available, transported to this country
at a price within our reach, very
useful competition would be created
Conditions in foreign countries
affect our home life more than oul
folks realize. Take China, for in
stance. It is a wonderful countr,
with almost untapped resources. i
furnishes an unlimited field for thu
Expansion Of American business. AL
il needs is a stable government which
could assure order and protection o.
property.
II some means could only be fOunC
to substitute a good government To-
the chaos now existing in that cOun
try, these resources could be mad
available for our use. In return TO
the same, our people could sell then
much more Of our manufactures
AS our country grows more crowd
ed, the need for an intelligent for
eign policy insuring favorable in
ternational relations becomes NOR
pressing each year.

The raising of money for the coun-
try churches is o big problem IN
many towns. The expenses OF O
church plant and operation thereof
have gone MP like everything else.
Country ministers are as q whole
much underpaid for the servece they
give, and many churches should be
ashamed of the small salaries they
offer.
People should realize that 1t Ia
often cheaper to make liberal direct
gifts Of cash to church, than TO
try to raise money through round
about ways that call for both labor
and expense. Many societies Will
put a dollars worth Of material into
some article for fair, and put ~
worth Of labor on it, and then sell
1t for $3.50. It would be better to
give 50. in cash and save work and
worry.
OF course fairs are often efficient
money raisers, and the women who
get them up are entitled to the
utmost credit for their earnestness
and devotionS AS rule it is wise to
offer for sale the things that peo-
pie really want and serve q use.
Food sales prove successful in many
places, because their is always q
demand for we'll cooked food, and
families like to try each others
cooking.
Many churches have made money
by performing some service that
the community needed done. A
good deal Of money has been made
by collecting old newspapers and
selling them to junk men. That
performed q real service because
otherwise this material would have
lain idle and have been wasted. Rum
mage sales are a good proposition,
as they secure money for many arti-
Glen that otherwise were laid away
and giving the owners no results.
Some organizations have made
money by establishing lunch rooms
on popular motor routes, others by
running dining halls at fairs and
other celebrations There are plen-
ty of ways, II people viii contribute
time and effort toward some thing
that the community needs to get
done. :ssAasss

SOUTHEAST IS OPTIMISTIC

Georgia's agricultural condition
from a productive as well as imam
cial standpoint is full Of promise
The same is applicable to all south
eastern states. For instance, mid
ding cotton has not sold to any
great amount for less than 30 cents
this fall, and the high grades, which
are scarce, have been bringing at
tractive premiums.
Farmers are not dumping" tneif
staple as in former seasons. The
unmarketed portion of the crop Is
expected to be sold more gradually
than the early receipts.
A factor that will serve to assure
gradual marketing is that farmers
have been able, as result Of higher
cotton prices, to settle part Of theil
obligations, which, together with the
available liberal credits that are OF
fered from banks and merchants
entrenches the grower sufficiently u
market his staple at his own VIII.
There Is a confident belief in THU
section that the final cotton yielt
will be considerably nearer the croI
of lats year than 1t viii be to 10,
$4,000 bales.

AcTloN DEMANDED

Cogress is about to, begin its work
on another long session. The coun-
try demands action to remedy vari-
GUS evils that have become simply
intolerable.
First and foremost, we have the
condition Of the farmers. They find
themselves between the devil and
the deep sea. Their products show
but moderate improvement over
pre-war prices. But all that they
have to buy has advanced probably
75 per cent.
Their condition Is greatly aggra-
waited by a tariff that gives but lit
tie help to the farmers, since the
American people would not under
any circumstances import any great
quantity Of food products. But the
greater part Of the stuff they have to
buy is boosted in price by the opera
ton of a tariff intended to cut off
imports Of competing products.
Then we have the condition of
the railroads. Their rates are high,
but they are not profitable. Con-
gress must determine where the fault
lies and remedy it.
Then there are the troubles in the
coal fields, with more threatening
soon. Congress must take steps to
assert the power Of the nation over
these mines, and the production and
distribution Of the fuel which the
people must have.
Then there is Europe, whose trou-
blouse state upsets our country. The
United States, under a hesitatins
diplomacy, has ceased to lave the
influence it is entitled to exert in
stabilizing the world.
The Republican party is respon-
sible for doing something to remove
these and many other difficulties. 1t
controls both branches Of Congress.
It is the business Of that party to
so harmoniSe its diScordant elements
that it can plan out q reasonable
compromise program and get action.
If it can't get effective action, the
people will know where to turn for
relief

about the origin Of Christmas as a
festival time, who first celebrated 1t,
or when or how. Nobody knows II
December % liz the right anniversary
of Christ's birth.
Celebration Of birthdays was con-
sidered heathenish by early Christians
and 1t was not until after BAL A. d.
that an Investigation was made into
the date Of Christ's birth by order OF
Pope julius. This set the date at
December Is, although many sections
celebrated January 8, April 20, March
20 and May 20.
Pope Julius set the date as Decem-
Der Is, and established the festival at
Rome on that date. This is the date
OF the winter solstlce, when winter be-
gins to decline toward spring, which
for centuries before Christ had been
celebrated by Druids and other pa
gans as the chief festival Of the year.
Mistletoe was an object Of special
veneration with the Druids. and was
gathered with great ceremony in De-
