If it is power and authority and its rightful use, Francis E.
Warren is amply clothed with it and has always employed it in the
interest Of the taxpayers.
If it is protection of agriculture and livestock, Francis f.
Warren has always stood in the fore front as a champion of these
great Wyoming interests.
If it is labor, and its welfare and advancement, n o a in or

If it is reclamation development for the west, Francis E. Warren

COTTON TRADING
 IS MINUS TREND
Week Is Dullest Market Has Seen In Long

NEW ORLEANS, June 22.-Cotton last week experienced dull trading, mar row fluctuations and lack of trend to prices, the Ike of which the trade has not known Gn a considerable period, Prices fluctuated from clay to day, sometimes up, sometime GlSdown, but at the close Saturday, October showed a net loss of only IA points compared with the previous week.
 The July position had somewhat different experience, however, due to the peculiar conditions surrounding the liquidation of the last remaining old crop option. While the new crop po- sitions fluctuated in accordance with the character of the weather and the reports as to the passing of the growing crop. July was influenced by develop ments in connection with the liquida- tion of that month rendered more i'm portant because of the near approach of the first notice day for July deliv- cries, which will occur this week Ii was generally expected that quite a number of notices of delivery would be issued here and as a result July was

Head Wound Of Mrs. Edith
 Taylor May Be Serious

Said to have stepped directly in front of an approaching automobile, in an effort to avoid being struck by another machine, Mrs. Edith Taylor, 1908 Ave nue I, was probably seriously injured about o'clock Sunday afternoon when struck by an automobile driven by Miss Doris Pate, 317 Forty-ninth street, north, on Twenty-frst street, between Avenues c. and D.
 According to the report Miss Pate made to police officers, Mrs. Taylor at tempted to walk across the street in the middle of the block. She lodged a machine that was being driven south on Twenty-frst street, only to Step di- rectly in front of Miss Pate's car.
 The injured woman was taken to Hill. mann hospital by c. S. Dyer, a pass ing motorist, for medical attention. A head wound she received when knocked to the pavement may prove serious, hos pital attendants said.

PRAISE IS GIVEN
 TO BOYS SCHOOL
Magazine Writer Enthu. siastic Over Work At
 East Lake

High praise for the manner in which the Alabama Boys Industrial school is conducted and the splendid quality of the work it is accomplishing, is con- tained in an article by Richard c. Cra- ven in the June issue of the National Humane Review"
 Cravens article is headed Mod ern Reformatories Do Not Make Criminals" He bases his story on the East Lake school, and offers as basic proof of his assertions facts he learned during a recent visit to the institution.
 The Alabama Boys Industrial school is one of the finest schools of its type in the country" he writes. Alabama should be proud of this in stitution for the good it is doing. The Alabama school is not remarkable for the beauty of its buildings There is nothing costly about the place, no mar ble halls or ornate furnishings.
 But Lincoln was not born in mansion, nor was Home Sweet Home written in the palace of an emperor. The buildings are just ordinary, an evidence of the fact that the school has never experienced the kind of satisfac- tion that comes from an avalanche of cash.
 Everything is on low cost plan. The state contribution is at the rate of $2 per month for each pupil-a total of $240 per year. This allowance is expected to cover everything-food, clothing and other requirements of the boys, salaries of the staff and upkeep of the buildings. ,-
 Probably, however, the constant striving, scraping and saving has been for the good of the place. Manhood's greatest successes are in the march to- wards ideals; he triumphs only so long as there remains something to be won. The management at East Lake can look back on wonderful achievements; ahead the only path lies over vaster heights that must be climbed. Each day sees something accomplished, something won, and every victory is but the spur to more mighty conquests.'
 Craven reviews the history of the school, telling how it resulted from an inspiration of a prisoner in the states penitentiary and how the first money for the school came from a prisoner at Flat Ton,

sold rather freely, closing the week 91 points down compared with the closing price of the previous week. As a result the discount of October under July was narrowed to 276 points as compared with a difference of 353 points week before last.
 The prices for new crop positions were sustained early in the week by the hot weather in Texas and Okla horna, which many contended was in- furious to the growing crop. Later on, however the tone was easier owing to a moderation of the heat wave and good rains in the southwest. Despite the effect of the cooler weather and rains on the market, bearish sentiment was held in check by the fear that the many private condition reports due during this week may show falling off in con dition during June, or at least lack

last year saw more construction than any other year on record.
 There is more than this, though, to 1924's construction story. In face of the high five-month record, the gen eral trend of building activity is down ward. In May, as compared to April according to records of the F. w Dodge corporation from which the above chart was compiled, there was 3 per cent less building throughout the country. The three sections which showed improvement over April were New England, the southeast and the northwest.
 Declines as evidenced above, however do, not eliminate the fact that in many localities there is still enough need of new buildings to support excellent activity for some time to come so long as general business conditions hermit

VITAL INTEREST
 IN CONVENTION
 BY WALL STREET
Democratic Stand On Taxation And Railroads
 TO Be Watched
By EDWARD J. CONDLON, (By Leased Wire to Age.Herald


 NEW YORK, dune 22.-It is ex- tremely doubtful if the wild selling and taking of profits toward the close of the week just completed represented hesitancy on the part of some mem bers of the financial community over the outcome of the democratic conven- tion. It should not be inferred that Wall Street is only mildly interested in the news of the convention. The street is vitally interested, particularly as regards the stand taken on taxa tion and on the railroad situation.
 However, the substantial gains made by railroad securities during the past week or two gives no hint of fear lest the transportation act of 1920 be altered materially, or even nullified. Perhaps the echoes of the railroad ad- ministration during the war resound whenever the name of McAdoo is men, tioned, but at any rate, at least a section of the financial community is unwilling to have McAdoo's policies on rail matters shape the stand of the depocratic party on the transpor- tation problem.
 Pace Being Maintained
 At the moment, bankers scarcely are able to offer first class bond issues fast enough to satisfy the growing de- mand. With more than $100,000,000 in new offerings pushed out last week and quickly absorbed, the chances are that the pace will be maintained just .a as long as prime mortgages, liens, and refunding issues can be turned up. Cheap money makes credit expansion possible, and the fact that 2 per cent call money has been the ruling rate on the stock exchange for weeks, has emboldened some prophets to vouch- safe that easy money conditions will remain for some time to come.
 The investment demand at present is better than it has been for months. The. warm weather, instead of drying up the demand, has thawed out a section of the potential demand which long has remained dormant. Active stock markets and active bond mar kets do not always go hand in hand More often just the reverse is true, for conditions that make for boiling bond market do not always favor major operations in stocks.
