opment of material and applied science
and invocational training has been as
natural as it is commsndable. But
man does not live by or for bread
alone. We may turn out citizens
highly efficient in material things,
expert engineers, scientific farmers
and stock raisers, able business and
professional men. That is conducive
to our well-being and 70 our progress,
but it is not enough. For a man may
be successful in material accomplish
ment and yet lack the capacity 70
enjoy life and to do his part in Great
ing society of the highest quality.
This is truism and yet in Ameri-
can discussion of education we often
find lack of appreciation of the fact
that studies which do not directly
be of the highest value in teaching
us how to enjoy life in the best sense.
After all, man who has acquired a
fortune and does not know how to en-
JOY it is, in the end, a failure. He
may and probably has enjoyed the
night for success, but how often when
1t has been won the reward is value
less
We do not apologize for repeating
here what nobody denies, because
we believe, in spite of the fact that
everybody agrees, there are in Amer
lea more successful people who do not
know how to enjoy life than in any
other country, civilized or uncivilized.
We may all solemnly admit that
material success is not an end in it
self, but we in America have not
been developing in recent years a
capacity for getting all there is out of
civilized life.
That can only come by laying a
broad foundation of knowledge and
appreciation while we are young, and
that is why thoughtful and informed
men like President Scott and President
Burton do not hesitate to call atten-
ton to what ought to be obvious and
to urge that our higher education
bring acquaintance with the best that
has been thought and done in the
world, that it cultivate the capacity
for civilized enjoyment and the ability
to see the values of life in right pro-
portion. The study of the humanities,
history, philosophy, morals, litera-
ture, the fine arts, makes for efficiency
in the highest sense of the word and
opens the road to a success which
does not defeat itself.

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS
 INSTALLMENTS


 JohD Waring. newly elected to the pr ssideucy of Corinth col lege, a venerable New England seat of learning, is found stabbed to death in hIs study. As he is at the pinnacle of his career and about to marry Elm fly Bates. a charming and cul- tured widow, no motive for sui eide appears. He had no known enemies. There was no trace of a weapon, nor was there any way in which a murderer could have left the locked room.
 The next morning Nogi. the Japanese butler, is missing, as are a valuable ruby stickpln, worn by the lead man, and $500, known to have been in his pri- vate drawer. Gordon Lockwood, pr. Warnings secretary. insists firmly. even suspiciously, upon the suicide theory, Unknown to the detectives, he had secured a crumpled pit of paper from the waste basket in the dead mans study before the room had, been searched. It is a half-finished love letter to Anita.
 Anita Austin. "The Mystery Girl,'' as she has been dubbed by the inmates of Mrs Adams boarding house (because of her silence concerning herself and her business in Corinth). is drawn into the tragedy when Miss Baseom. a prying old mafS, identies her as the fur-coated figure which had been seen crossing the fields in the direc- ton of Dr. Warnings house on the night of his death. Small footprints in the crusted snow leading to and from his study window confirm her suspicious. The spinster also searches Anita's room and triumphantly pre- duces from among her posses sions S roll of bills and the ruby stickpin. On questioning Anita, Cray, prosecuting attorney, finds his sympathies instinetly enlisted in her favor. Miss Bascom, how ever, confronts them both with more evidence of guilt found in Anita's room-the weapon with which the murder was com mitted.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 15.-Highest st levels in the cotton market today were made at the early trading when prices were 2S to 30 points higher than the last quotations of yesterday. with october trading at 27 .27o a pound. Then followed an easy period under liquidation of the long account, selling of this character be- ing sufficiently liberal to carry October off to 26 sec. where the list stood at net gains of but to 8 points. In the late trading the market strengthened again, and finally closed at net gains of the day of 2S to 27 points. October's closing sales ranging from 27.12c to 27 .16c.
 Higher cables than due were q help on the opening, but the main buying influ- ence was the wet weather in the north west section of the. belt and the fear that that this wet area would widn out over Sun day and embrace large section Of inn portant cotton country. where it Is i'm perative that the weather should remain dry in order to allow the proper maturity of the crop and to enable picking to make progress During the day many telegrams from west Texas and from Oklahoma noted continued rainfall
 The selling out of long contracts was. for tho most part. weekend liquidation. and it was generally considered that 1t had no special significance. Scattered new selling for short accounts appeared on re- ports of a somewhat quieter tone in spot markets of the western belt.

HTRRARn,S LETTER

NEW YORK, Sept 15.--(special) )-Liv- erpool market was again better than due this morning, but has been the case the past few days our market failed to hold the advance as there appears to be a large amount of cotton for sale around the 2sc level. Reports were also re- ceived of an easier basis in the south which we are unable to confirm. It, how ever had the influence of causing some further liquidation. Sentiment is gem orally quite strongly In favor of & fur ther reaction in the market, and the mills are holding off in anticipation of this talk ing place.
 So long as the basis In the south holds, no decline of moment can be expected and we doubt If the decline would be as great as the majority are anticipating. because we find that the bigger portion of the trade is waiting for this decline to happen upon which to buy cotton. In the last few minutes of trading large buy ing orders, probably from Liverpool, brought a sharp recovery

HEAVYMARKETINC7 RALLIES IN LATE BANK CLEARINGS OF NEW CANADIAN TRADING FEATURE DURING PAST WEEK
 CROP BRINGS SAG COTTON MARKET SLIGHTLY LARGER

Chicago, Sept. 15.-Heavy market ing of new wheat in Canada led to 3 downturn today in prices here. The close was heavy, ts to 10 net lower with December 101% at 101T and May 107M at 1071z. Corn lost h to 7sc and oats a shade to Hc. In provisions, there was 5c to 15c ad- -vAa.sn.
 It was estimated that 14,oec, DOC bushels of wheat had been marketed this week at country points in the three prairie provinces of Canada, and values here soon developed weakness after little show of strength at the start. Initial gains were in sympathy with early firm ness of prices at Winnipeg and Liverpool, e condition due more or less to gossip that recent extreme bearish estimates of Canadian wheat production were calculated on acre. age figures 1,500,000 acres too high. Liberal export business at the sea- board in cluding 100000 bushels for Greece chiefly Canadian wheat, but partly Durun. tended also to lift the market in the first part of the day. Selling here credited to foreign ac- count had apparently considerable to do, however, with facilitation the wheat price decline which afterWard took effect. Weekend evening up of trade failed to bring about any de- cided rally, and the finish was 5 cents under the high point on Mon day. Tn the final dealings, sentiment for the most part was yerA bearish, although some authorities contended the market was technically stronger as 8 result of liquidation and short selling the last few days.
 Corn and oats receded with wheat. notwithstanding persistent reports of frost damage to corn.
 An upturn in lard quotations at Liverpool hoisted provisions.

Worth street was somewhat Quieter; some resales being made. There was no special news during the day. Stocks and grain continued weak. and should this con dition continue much further It is likely to be effective in cotton The weather forecast for the belt was fair and cooler with scattered showers along several coast points.

NEW YORK. Sept, 15.-Decllnes from an opening advance were fol- lowed by rather sharp rallies in the cotton market today. After selling at 27.5sc at the start, December broke to 27.S2c, but closed at 27.eoc with the general market closing firm at net advance 0s 1f ta 2S points.
 The market opened steady at an advance of 21 to 25 points owing to the continued strength of Liverpool and bullish Manchester trade ad- vices. October sold ar z7.ssc and January at 27.1sc during the first few minutes on trade buying and coverings, but this advance to ap- proximate1y the 2S-cent level again brought in realizing. Some scatter ed southern hedging was also re- ported and the market worked off during the middle of the morning. At 27.60c for October and 26.90e for January, or about to points net lower, demand appeared to increase and prices turned upward late in the morning on covering for over the weekend and commission house%buy- = ing. The latter was accompanied by reports that there was a large amount of cotton on shipboard al Galveston awaiting clearance, which naturally pointed to larger exports, and tended to emphasize the small stocks of American cotton abroad in connection with the increasing trade reported in Lancashire. October closed at 27.90c and January at grace, or about 30 points up from the lowest Private cables received from Liverpool this morning said the mar ket there was easier at the opening because of increased hedge selling but had rallied on a moderate de- mand rom Manchester. The unset tied tone reported in the stock mar . ket probably accounted for some of the selling of cotton here during. the middle of the morning, but much or the business was attributed to the evening up of commitments for over the weekend.
