T wish that all the little children could see you wash ing the pretty lovely white lilies faces!" Raggedy Ann said to the little tiny Fairies who were amongst the flowers growing beside the laughin g brook in the deep, deep woods.
 Tt is too bad that all the children can not see us" one lit- tie fairy replied, but it is not our fault. Raggedy Ann f; 1t IS the fault of the c h i l d r e n them selves.
 R a g z e d y Ann pulled her forehead down into wrinkles. This gave her a
 thoughtful express sion, for you know her head was made of cloth and stuffed with nice clean white cotton. so when she pulled her forehead down, it wrinkled her fore head just the same as if she was think ing real, real hard.

EARLY DECLINE IN COTTON FOLLOWED BY SHARP RALLIES

NEW YORK, April 26.--An early decline in the cotton market was followed by very sharp rallies on re- newed covering by May shorts. At a premium of 125 points over July, however. this demand was supplied by increased offerings accompanied by rumors that cotton might be here for delivery and the market broke sharply in the later trading. After selling up from 2S.6Tc to 29.1Sc. or 43 points net higher and into new high ground for the movement. May contracts broke to 2S.64c and closed at 28.G5c. New crop positions were relatively easy all day, with the general market closing barely steady 10 to 50 points net lower.
 The markets> opened barely steady, 10 points higher on May, but gener- ally to Is points lower in response to relatively easy cables and more favorable weather map. There were -four more May notices issued, when probably accounted for some httle scattering liquidation. and old crop months sold to l2 points net lower during the early trading. with later months showing net losses of 20 to 30 points. The development of n more active demand for May at this setback check ed the decline. how ever, and the market sold up very sharply, with July advancing from 2755c to 2I.95c and october from 24.49c to 25.15c. This made net ad, vances of 2S to 4S points on the old crop and of 3 to 6 points in new crop positions. Offerings of May in creased as the premium over July wldened and there was considerable selling of the near months by spot interests, partly against purchases of July delivery. This led to ru- mors that cotton was 10 be brought here from the south for tender or that there would be tenders of cot ton in the local stock prevlously hedged in July contracts, and the general market became weak and unsettled. Reports of rather low minimum temperatures in sthe east ern belt probably helped the midaay rally, but new crops led the decline. with october selling off to 24.eoc in the late trading.

WHEAT AND CORN
 REACT FOLLOWING RECORD ADVANCES

CHICAGO, April 26.-High price records for the season were broken today by wheat and corn, but profit taking led to a reaction in which gains were wiped out. sharp ad- vance in wheat quotations at Liver pool together with reports of good demand from European continental countries preceded the advance here. Wheat closed unsettled at the same as yesterdays finish to 4 lower May s1.26 to s1.26 Is and July SIPS B to s1.2415. Corn finished at 1-Sc Lc decline to l4c 5-Sc advance oats at a shade off to 1-Sc up, and provisions unchanged to , cents higher.
 In connection with the rise in wheat values at Liverpool it was current gossip that Liverpool was taking all the wheat offered and was advancing bids six cents bushel in some cases. Generally accepted estimates put the amount of new ex- port business today at 1000, 900 bushels in addition to as much more done yesterday.
 Rains in the southwest and west did good deal to induce profit-tak- ing sales. Rain reports from Ne braska and western Kansas were effective in turning the wheat mar ket right about face before the day came to an ..nh
 All deliveries of corn as well scored new high price records for the season. The corn advanced and subsequent downturn were in sym pathy with wheat, oats followed corn.

NEW ORLEANS, Ap=il 2-.--An easy pc riod in the early trading in cotton today was followed by q strong rally later, but in the afternoon another setback occurred durinC which pronounced weakness deVei- oqed. Realizing by recent longs mixed with new selling on the better weather outlook for the greater part of the belt made up the pressure against the market. In the late trading prices were 3Z to o3 points under the closing quotation or yes terday and last prices were at net losses of 32 to s9 points. May traded as low as 27 COG and closed at the lowest; October traded down to 24 o5c and closed al 2i.09c. ~
 The early declines amounted to 22 to 3S in central and eastern portions or thS belt and to poor cables.

BEARS HAVE HAVE GA!! (!I!! ' SLIGHT $ UCCES IN STOCK MARkET
Preparations Question Now Has Little Influence Upon
 Price Changes
By WALTER II. BROWN

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald
 NEW YORK, April 26.-Bear pres sure upon the stock market was sue cessful only in spots and then not to any great degree. At the same tcne efforts to force prices upward met with but little response and the net changes for the day were insignifi- cant while the volume of trading was down to low point. A most signifi- cant feature of the present situation is the fact that there is a large in vestment holding of stocks which cannot be dislodged Attacks upon the equipments. for example, which are earning well in excess of their dividend requirements are not likely to make much of an impression ana as matter of fact have failed to do so.
 The decline in sterling exchange which continues need not be regarded as unduly significant. In some di- rections it is argued that 1t reflects the dscouraging condition of the reparations tansle but as matter of fact, it can be more properly traced to preparation for payments on account of the British debt which must, of necessity increase the de- maad for American dollars.
 Preparations Question.
 Any attempt to bring the repara- tions problem in as a stock market factor is only thrcshing over old straw We know that it is in de- plorable shape but it has been In that condition for q long time, in fact, it would seem as if almost any turn would be for the better. The offerings by Germany of twenty bill lion or even thirty billion gold marks can only be construed as gesture. Sine has, as matter of fact, paid nothing so far except the money she had swintlled outsiders out of by sell ing worthless paper currency. There has been no sacrifice as yet made by the German people. Her industrial ists could well pay the F'rench de- mands if they chose out of their for eign credits and they probably Will do so in the end after they have gone as far as they possibly can in an en- deavor to have the amount reduced. Germany is playing for time and .n the meantime is not undergoing the suffering she would m~ke the world believe How long the iterval will be no one knows but that basis Of settlement will be reached in que time Is fairly safe assertion and is more than likely to come out of clear sky.

Further .Aduances IF Steel Products---Neu Business Is Quieter


 CLEVELAND, O., April 26--(special)- Another round of price advances in steel products the past week by leading producers has further marked the under lying strength of the situation and arises from the heavy accumuations of old bust- ness rather than from the force of new buying. By lifting the scheduled of it's subsidiaries s2 at Chicago and s1 at Pittsburg, the Steel corporation now is quoting structural shapes and steel bars above the level 1t adopted in March. 1919. at the instance of the industrial board and faithfully maintained through the active market that year and 1920.
 New business has continued to run in a quieter channel. Tho mills are as hard pressed as ever, however, to keep custom CTS in needed supplies of steel. Building steel contracts were the lghtest the past week in some months. totalng 17.000 tons.
 Extended deliveries on steel are causing some contraction of the equipment mar ket since the railroads find that cars placed now would not be available when most needed in the fall Many thousands of cars which otherwise would be bought are held back for this reason.
 new high point was touched this week by the Iron Trade Review composite of 14 leading iron and steel products due to ad- vances in finished steel, while pig iron remained stationary. The index is $<7 3l against s47.15 last week and low av- craze this year of $40. .67 the first week in January.

BABY BEEF FEEDING
NEEDS SPECIAL STUDY

Baby beef feeding is not a simple
matter of putting calves in the feed
lot in place of mature steers. Baby
beeves must be of the best breeding
and quality, sired by thick-fleshed
purebred beef sires, and out of good
grade of cows.
Then they must be started on feed
at the time they are weaned. if not
little earlier, so that they do not lose
their milk fat. The feed must be of
good quality, not the coarse stuff that
old steers will eat. They will eat
little oat straw along with good silage,
but will not eat as heavily of rough
age in proportion to grain as do the
older steers. These baby steers must
be forced to fatten instead of growing,
and will need a longer fattening period
than mature steers.
The following rations are adapted
from various bulletins including Farm
ers Bulletin s11, "The Production of
Baby Beef which will be sent free
on request, by the Department of Ag-
riculture at Washington, and to which
the prospective feeder is referred for
further information.
