On the other hand. the Socialist
paper, the People, says:

empire was based on the oppres-

NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, Sept. 10 n.N.S)-
The cotton futures market held
steady at about the levels of yes
terday's closing prices when Liver.
pool opened 2 to 1 English points
lower than due. Trading was more
active than it has been for the
past few days and the undertone
was strong.
Hedge selling was readily ao.
Sorbed by the trade. There was
scattered buying from Wall Street
and New Orleans. Liverpool and
the continent sold, but the South
bought.
The indications pointed to cooler
weather in the central and eastern
belts, though warmer and partly
cloudy in the West. The fore.
cast for Western North Carolina
was for frost. However, it is too
early to consider frost as a price
making factor.
Ring observers reported good buy.
ing orders just below the market.
At noon futures were up to
points with October new at 1S.46,
December, 1882; and March, 1913.

painful fron a masculine stand

the wife earning the family liveli-
hood by the sweat of her carefully
powdered brow is presented at the
convention of the Midwest Society

Speakers pointed out that woman
is the athletic member of the mod

| coming enfeebled, anaemic, sallow
and a lot of other pathetic adjec-
tives as they sit in their offices.
z. G. Delaporte, retiring president,
was about the only speaker to give
men a break. He said the boy of
today may grow to be a better man
than did his dad. He based this
on the prospect of the five-hour day
and the five-day week which would
enable boys to improve themselves
physically and mentally.
