reinforce stocks before new cotton
can be obtained, present indications
are that the speculative element will,
as a rule, confne fresh operations to
the next crop months.
Planting Operations
Planting operations have made
better progress than last week in the
Gulf Coast sections Of Texas, with
more sunshine and normal tempera-
lures. In the Central and Eastern
portions of the cotton belt, however,
the crop is having quite late start,
owing to frequent rainfall and wet
soil conditions. Field work has also
been retarded over much of Arkans-
as, Mississippi, Alabama and Ten
nessee, where warmer and dry wea-
ther conditions are badly needed.
Taken altogether, farm work and
planting Of the new crop are back
ward, which naturally viii tend to
delay the maturity and harvesting Of
the fruit in the fall. The consensus
of trade views is that there is every
incentive this year for Southern
farmers to raise a large crop and all
present indications are that strong
efforts are being made to increase
production to meet the worlds grow
ing requirements Of American cot
ton. Farmers are reported to have
as last year in the principal cotton
purchased, twice as much fertilizer
producing states Of the South, and
some new methods win be used to
minimize damage by the boil weevil.
Acreage Increase Uncertain
The extent Of the increase in acre
age is still uncertain, as much will
depend on weather conditions for the
immediate future. Late planted cot
ton will, as usual, be much more
liable to injury through possible I'M
favorable climatic conditions during
the entire growing season than where
the plants have had a good early and
healthy start. Boil Weevil activity
would also be more likely to curtaiI

KEEP YOUNG

People with bad backs and weak
Kidneys are apt to feel old at sixty.
Many old folks say Doan's Kidney
Pills help them keep young. Here's
an Americas case:

brought on attacks of lame back. At

tive demand from retailers and con-
sumers IS inevitable before long on
account Of the depleted stocks OF
standard cotton goods now on hand.
Fireign Markets Firm
The foreign markets have general
" displayed a firm undertone, with
an improved demand for spots from
English and Continental spinners in
the Liverpool market. Sound fun
damental conditions in the cotton
manufacturing industry, liberal rate
Of consumption and the limited sup
ply of desirable grades of cotton re-
naming at primary sources, all COM
bine to maintain comparatively high
price levels. Local technical mar
ket conditions have been improved
through the steady liquidation that
has taken place. in the summer
months and trade sentiment appears
to lean toward the constructive side
OF values for the new crop positions.
For the immediate future the market
will depend chiefly upon the volume
of domestic mill demand for spots
and new crop developments. A good
trading market, with a continuation
Of wide swings in the price fluctua-
lions, can therefore be expected for
a while longer. Prospects for the
coming crop will, of course, have to
be studied closely from now on.
While the weather at present is not
all that could be desired, it should be
borne in mind that few days Of
sunshine would improve the situa-
ton materially.

DEBTS ARE
WORRYING EUROPE

England's example, in arranging
to pay her war debts, seems to be
having an effect on other countries.
The Firms and Czecholslovaks have
said they're ready to give bonds for
their informal wartime promissory
notes. Serbia and Rumania an
nounce themselves ready to acknowl-
edge what they owe. 1t isn't the
same thing as paying, but it shows
good will.
More important, because he rep

Mussolini is planning to name a

avoid doing something, too.
So it begins to look as if Ameri-
cans might get back some of the

loans which they thought were

A Personal Equation
Sometimes we hnd n person who
will tell you that he eats whenever
he 10 hungry. He appears strong
and healthy and It never hurts him to
take food Ut any time. Again, an
other person will eat only at regular
intervals. giving strict attention to
proper eating and careful chewing Of
hts food.
But In spite OF this he lie thin and
appears undcrnourished. in the first
case, the person was probably blessed
with strong stomach. like a horse,
ae the expression is, and his general
physical ccudition 10 strong in resist
nnce. In spite OF his greatly In
creased amount of food above the
normal he was not fat. His selec-
ton of food with the proper amount
Of calories was not good and his
waste was high.
In the second case the food seleo-
tor was probably the same day after
day and not sufficiently body building.
Too much Of the same kind and In
spite OF the proper habits, no real
gain resulted. In fact there was
loss, a. his vitality was undoubtedly
poor and he was low In disease re-
sietAnce.
..t Watch Your Diet
Meats often have bad effect on
the stomach II taken too often during
the GUNNER. Eggs and fish are
much better and can be prepared in
many tempting ways. Vegetables
and fruit are the best Of all things
for summer diet. They make up into
delicious salads and combine well
with milk, one Of the best hot
weather foods. Cool water, milk and
lemonade, not sweet, are the best
drinks for the hot season.
When you are hungry. 1t does not
signify that the general body Graves
food. The stomach, which Is Of DIFF

becomes empty IN some persons more
rapidly than in others. Contraction
Of the empty stomach is what produ-

often, give your stomach a rest, It
