A $ Milk Drinkers
During Past Year

Persons residing in cities in the
United States consumed on an aver
age of two gallons more milk in 1922
than the year before, according to
figures announced by the Depart

Decreased consumption of milk in
the rural communities last year,
however, pulled down the increase
to one gallon per capita for the
country.

At the same time merchants and

THE COTTON SITUATION
Unfavorabe Weather West Causes Marked Advance Spots
Bv Henri Clews& Co
GOVERNOR PTNCHOT

The consumption by American
mills for the first two months Of
the season amounted to $4,000
compared with 100000 bales last
year Stocks in hands of domestic
mills aggregated 773,0O0 bales at
end of September, against 1906
goo bales last year. The general
statistical position continues
strong enough, but prices appear to
be approaching 4 sufficiently high
level to restrict consumption in the
near future unless broader de-
mand should develop for the fin
ished production of cotton mills
The cotton contract market is in
a very nervous and unsettled con,
dition, which is reflected by the
frequent reversals in local senti-
ment respecting future of values
and the rapid changes in technical
market conditions. 1t now remains
to be seen how a return to SOC
cotton at this time will affect the
demand from foreign and domestic
consumers. Present indications
are that advances above current
price levels will attract more OF
less general selling and viii there
fore be more difficult to maintain
than heretofore.
Most of the developments of the
week have again been in favor of
the holders of spot cotton and fu-
sure contracts. Apprehension of a
scarcity of desirable grades of
American cotton later in the sea-
son as a result of recent unfav-
orable weather conditions in the
Western sections of the belt has
been the immediate cause of the
recent scramble for spots in the
southern markets at sharp adj
vance over previous quotations.
The continued good demand for the
actual from American and foreign
spinuers has not only absorbed
Southern spot offerings on price
scale upward, but has automatical-
" reduced hedging sales of future
contracts to a comparatively small
volume. This technical market fea
ture, together with the small stock
of contract cotton how held in this
port, created scarcity of supply

Excellent way to learn football is

They must be tough as cafe steaks.
Eating cafe steaks will help them.
Never feed a football player on
raw meat. 1t is dangerous. He may
bite off his girls nose,
Looking for needles in haystacks

Football is better than golf. Ev-

Best way to train q footballer is

fight like bedbug.
What's little rouge between a

Everybody should know football.
A good football player can trip a

Football enables one to kick a

Women should learn football. 1t

Jockeing for place, trying for the

Dental aspirations.
Particularly is this true in the
Republican ranks. Clifford Pinchot
Progressive, friend of the Great
Theodore, governor of Pennsyl-
vania, and all-round astute politi-
clan, has them all guessing.
PRESIDENT Coolidge asked him to
aid in settlement of the coal strike
some weeks ago. Finchot got busy.
HeEsucceeded in getting the con-
tending faction together. He
grabbed the credit for same-or the
people gave him credit-and Mr.,
Coolidge's political advertisers see
red. Pinchot said Il settled the
strike. They say "We," and a White
House conference is called.

President that prohibition enforce

THEATRICAL.

Strange things are happening to
the theatrical art, which remained
virtually unchanged for many cen
turtles.
We have movies, where the audi
ence sees a play without actually
seeing or hearing the actors.
Also we have radio-drama, the
audience hearing the actors without
seeing them.
The two-movies and radio
drama-might be combined into a
novel sort of entertainment. Maybe
this will be the eventual talking
movie"
