COTTON DECLINES
IN TODAY'S TRADING
Opening Is Easy and Selling
on Bulge Caused by
Weather Occurs.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 20.-The cotton
market opened easy today at de-
cline of to 9 points under liquidation
and local or Southern selling apparent
ly inspired by relatively easy Liverpool
cables.
Some buying on rain or shower re-
ports from the South rallied prices
back to about Saturdays closing quo
tations, but offerings increased on the
bulge, and liquidation of July con-
tracts seemed to have rather an I'M
settling effect on sentiment.
July sold off to 1850, net decline of
IL points, while December declined
from 17.19 to 1908, or II points net
lower, by the end of the first hour
Private cables said there had been
local and continental liquidation in
the Liverpool market and that stocks
of cotton yarns were accommodating in
Manchester.
The early offerings were readily alb
sorbed by covering or scale down buy
ing, which appeared to be partly for
the trade. July rallied from 1850 to
1853, and December. from 1908 to
1927: or about to points net higher,
but later months were slow to follow
the bulge, holding within a point or
two of Saturdays closing quotations
with the general list showing reac-
tons of a few points at midday.

NEW ORLEANS, June 20 R.-

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Making Start in Saving.

All the authorities on the subject
agree that the hardest part of a saw
ings program is making a start. Once
a foundation has been laid the rest is
comparatively easy. Certainly the
possession of one or two bonds or one
or two lots Of high grade stocks are
great help in the acquisition OF
other securities.
For example, take the problem of
installment buying of bonds, the prin-
cipal objection to which is the fact
that you do not come into full owner
ship Of the bond until you have made
the last payment, and, meanwhile.
something may have happened to the
house with which you made the con-
tract, or the market price of the bond
may have had q sharp setback. If,
however, you already have some sound
investment security, you can take 1t
to the bank and put it up as collateral
for loan, using the proceeds to buy
additional bonds or bond and pay for
the loan at regular intervals.
In effect this Is installment buying,
but, with the difference that you
always have control over the security
you are paying for. OF course. one
does not want to buy in larger lots
time, even by this method. Otherwise
you would soon find yourself in a
speculative position. This is one of
the great advantages of the owner
ship Of stocks and bonds, namely, that
they may be used as security for
loans. No one has to ask bank to
loan money as a favor, when he has
marketable bonds or stocks to put up.
Observe that the securities must be
marketable. Banks will not loan money
on something they cannot sell if the
borrower fails to meet his obligation.
AS far as the bankers are concerned
it does not matter whether the securi-
ty used as collateral is a good invest
ment or not. That has nothing to
do with the matter from their stand
point. All they want to know is
whether it can be disposed of if neces-
sary quickly and without much sacri-
flee.

Special Dispatch TO Inc star
NEW YORK, June 20.-With cal
money renewing at per cent today
time loans firm at Az per cent and &C
ceptances trihe higher, there was
nothing in the situation to warrant
any change in bond prices.
Attention was directed to the foreign
group because of the sharp declines
that have occurred in it recently and
the volume of offerings that have
hung over the market for so long. Last
week 80 of the bonds sold at the lowest
of the year. These included German
government. municipal, state and cor
poration issues as well as those OF
Italy. Japan. Chile, Peru, Bulgaria
Poland, Serbia and New South Wales
A number of the bonds touching new
low ground were those that have
been on the market for only a short
time while others were bonds floated a
year or more ago.
Foreigns Again Heavy.
Today the trent of the foreigns was
again heavy. Toland SIS were at one
time off a fun soint and the 6s half
point with srfhe recovery. City of
Dresden Is, Saxon 6ias and Peruvian
71as We're quite soft. There was not
much change in the active French.
Belgian and Italian issues.
The suggested plan for a rearrange-
ment of local traction control led to
very active market and much
higher prices early. In Interboro
Rapid Transit bonds, the IS We're up

of those of the underground roads.

Slightly higher. In the legal list of
railroad bonds a decline of 3. in Union
Pacific As was the feature. Other
bonds of this type We're dull and show
ed little change.
Speculative List Irregular.
Speculative railroads and industrials
were irregular. Erie convertible "D's"
lost over a point, Seaboard IS half
point and international Telephone
5hs, Il. julius Kayser SIS, Armour
51bS, International Paper SIS and
Dodge 6s were steady. st. Paul listed
and unlisted bonds were unusually
active and strong in sympathy with
st. Paul stocks.
The volum of new offerings at the
beginning of the week was small. 1t
is expected that announcement will be
made today regarding the Columbian
loan of $4,000. 900. for which seven
syndicates bid. A large issue by an
investment trust will probably be Of
fered at the end of this week. The
tendency is to restrict offerings until
the outstanding new loans are more
thoroughly digested.

WHAT is THE WORTH
OF A CHILD'S LIFE

That depends upon the chance
it has in life to be somebody and
to do something worth while. The
chance a child will have depends
upon the interest some one will
take in him. Thousands of child
rem have all the opportunity in the
world to make good if the interest
father and mother take in him will
do it. Some of these children have
too much done for them and have
too easy a time in life to learn to
assume the responsibilities of life
which will in time be thrust upon
them. But there are thousands of
children who are left in the world
alone to prepare themselves for
the activities of life unless some
sympathetic hearts are willing to
assume the obligation of assisting
these motherless children.
The writer is glad to say that
there are thousands of kind SYM
pathetic people who are doing this
very thing which needs so much
to be done. Childless homes by the
hundreds are longing for children
to love and care for and are taking
them and are delivering to the
world men and women ready to
assume the responsibilities as well
as any other child.
There are some older children
which have not had a good chance
the first few years of their life to
get a good start in life who are
seeking a home where they can
find a kind sympathetic heart
ready to love them and give them
the attention and chance they need
to fit them for a useful life. 1t is
harder to find such homes than it
is homes that will take a young
child.
We know it will take patience
and wisdom to succeed in this !
task but many a person has as !
sumed the task and has, through
,ains-taking care and love delivered l
as fine a speciman of manhood or |
vomanhood to society as any par Z
ent has done. I
The Montana Children's Home I
Society has in the last 80 years, L
handled over 5000 of these home I
ess children and adopted them out
nto some of the best homes of the
tate and a larger per cent of these Il
hildren have made good than of y
hildren reared in their own homes. ;
his has been accomplished at an l
Expense of only S16S for each child +
y the Society and you the good J.
ueople of the state have paid the \
ill nobly. u
Who will do his bit by either
aking one more of these children 7
making a contribution to this
'ork? No gift you have ever made q
ill make you happier.
Yours in the interest of the
omeless child, !
