You'U Get Rid of
 Blackheads Sure

There is one simple. safe and sure way that never fails to get rid of blackheads, that is to dissolve them
 To do this get two ounces of calonite powder from any drug store-sprinkle 8 little on a hot. wet cloth-rub over the blackheads briskly-wash the parts and you will be surprised how the blackheads have disappeared. Big blackheads. little blackheads, no matter where they are. simply dissolve and disappear. Black heads are a mixture of dust and dirt and secretions that form in the pores of the skin. The calonite powder and the water dissolve the blackheads so they wash right out, leaving the pores free and clean and | in their natural condition.-Adv.

Labor Day Sanctifies
 The Spirit Of Labor

been fed with the choicest of fruit:
 ot Amerlca-men who are cunning 1 bold, prosperous and who are con stantly spreading nets to catch the weak and unwary in the courts of law the senate chambers and in the mar
 kets. It is those men who dig pitfalls for Freedom, by bribing and corrupt l ing the sentries placed on guard to safeguard the nations greatest herlt 1 age. It IS these men, though boast, ful of American blood of long line, age, who are the real foreigners tc l America.
 The brotherhood of labor is hum ble, poor, till yesterday a mere weak ling almost inarticulate and with few friends in high places It has passed the infantile period of life. It stands Fproud and erect in it's full-grown
 manhood It has not achieved the full measure of the 10 prosecutions through which Christianity had to pass, but it has gone through many of them and the worst of them. Ii IS no longer an almost unconscious, instinctive groping of men blinded by oppression to hnd a way of escape
 from the Home of Bondage.
 The still, sad music of humanity,
 to which the labor movement march
 es, IS beginning to melt the hearts of men. It's principles, tis spirit are finding able supporters and opponents everywhere. It's program is becom- ing clearer and more definite as it rises to the heights of bloom. Its leading doctrines are being spread to and are being understood by all the world
 
 The American labor movement IS a living thing, with soul and spirit and personality of it's own. Those that are weary and heavy-laden cast their burdens upon it, straighten their bent back and ease their aching mus cles. In new-found freedom they look up and see the higher levels and nobler heights just beyond.
 Men and -~ women that hunger stretch out their. hands and receive that which satisfies. As the bangs of distress become less painful and the mind and heart are freed from the pressing burdens of bare subsis- tence, they turn to things more of the spirit. Thus the labor movement in its everyday undertakings leads the restless to satisfied longings and stimulates the craving for something that is true, honest, practical, yet no- ble, idealistic and inspiring.
 To keep full and strong this tide oI energy, to rouse the purpose and de- termination to strive for more, yet more, IS the purpose and design of Labor Day. Let the workers meet; le them review the things done, the mistakes made, the victories won, take counsel with one another and re- kindle the spirit of labor that will inspire all-all who must toil-and to press forward and upward to that greater-that better--that brighter that happier day. 11

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, November 16.-De-
cember cotton sold at 34.60 on the
opening call today, an advance of 20
points and a new high figure for
the season.
There was active general buying in
the cotton market and prices male
new high records for the season on
higher Liverpool cables and bullish
private crop and ginning figures.
The latter indicated a ginning of s.
26S.O00 bales to November IA, and
pointed to crop of 100000 bales
than the--0fficiat forecast as of Oc-
tober %. Private cables said this
had been partly responsible for the
advance in Liverpool, which also
was influenced by a stronger mar
ket for Egyptian cotton.
The local market opened strong at
an advance of % to sc points, with
December selling up to 34.60, January
to $40 and March to 3432 on the
call. Very heavy realizing was at
tracted by the new high prices, and
fluctuations during the early trading
the selling was absorbed by trade and
commission house buying.

NEW ORLEANS, November 10
Private ginning figures of .S,36O,OOO
bales as the output to the 14th of
November, indicating a crop of only
1920, 900 bales, was responsible for a
wild rise in the price of cotton on the
opening today. In the first few min
utes of trading the active months
rose SO to rs points to "a cents a
pound for December. The rise be-
gan in Liverpool, where the private
report on ginning was known first,
and the strength of Liverpool created
all manner of excitement here before
the opening.

cotton firm of Williamson, Inman &

enjoin the Seaboard Air Line Railway
Company from further refusing to COM

for reshipment: that the Seaboard, in
accepting cotton from the Louisville and

comnressing it, as required by the In

recurring three times the amount of car
snace necessary for compressed cotton.
