NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 20. Up
Cotton experienced an active start
today. Liverpool cables were worse
than due but this was offset by
stronger Sterling. First trades here
were unchanged TO four points down.
Active months eased off a little
after the start. December dropping
to 6.65, January to SIS and March
to 6.94, or 5 points under yesterdays
close.
This decline was attributed 10
some hedge-selling and to liquida-
ton by recent buyers.
The market soon rallied. however,
owing to shorts covering on a firm
er opening in stocks and due also
to the firm spot position as
holders in the interior appeared un-
willing to sell at present prices.
December advanced to SIG, January
to 6.85 and March to 7.06, or 10 10
IL points I'D from the lows and 5 to
7 points above yesterdays close.
Near the end Of the first hour the
market was firm and at the highs.

the entrance to the finishing de-

His powerful shoulders and arms
were set on body that had never
reached its full stretch from the
ground. Labor since ten years of
age had stunted his growth. Heavy
lines slanted diagonally across his
cheeks. His eyes, steel-blue, had

Seven years ago, in answer to
glowing advertisements. he and his
young wife had come to Smoky
City with their two babies. Seven
years! MacFarney shrugged his
shoulders and spat into the gutter.
Mary elbowed her way toward
him and they started up the street
that worked its way among the
tenement cliffs towering on either
side. Through the Negro and TIA
Ian sections, past the blocks in
habited by Slavs and Polaks they
walked on to the neighborhood
where the Anglo-Saxon Americans
lived.

THE FEDERATION of Organized Trades and La
Dor Unions set May l. 1886. as the day of
struggle for the eght-hour working day.
But Powderly, Grand Master of the knights of
Labor, at that time the strongest union in the u.
S., opposed the eight-hour movement and even sent
out secret circulars to his trade assemblies not to
participate in any of the eght-hour day May Day
committees.
The militancy of the rank and file members in
the Knights of Labor recahed such heights that on
May Day 1890. the members Of this organization
united with the workers in othei organizations for
feverish May Day preparations.
When on May Day 1890 10000 workers turned
out In Chicago, when thousands went out in such
small cities as Bay0nne N. j.. when thousands filled

Powderly spoke at one of the meetings. and on
the platform sat the future President Grover Cleve-

"he is not opposed to the reduction Of the working

the capitalist drive against the workers. Green,

the workers from struggle on May Day by siding
with Hoover in the mockery Of making May Day q

Neither Peter nor Nancy could
 remember seeing apples on a stick
 when they were children. Evident ly they are a product of a later
 day. But so popular an autumn
 product are they now that no child of to-day can grow up and not have seen and tasted these
 candied apples.
 They really look prettier than they taste. There is a glace or hard
 candy coating which has been col ored pleasing shade of red. And beneath that hard coating is raw,
 juicy apple that seems somewhat tart or fiavorIess after the sweet glace coating. But the fact they are disappointing to the taste is balanced by the fact that they are pleasing to the eye.

Dr David Starr Jordan. chan cellor emeritus of Loelan Stanford University. who died recently, was a great friend of youth. and had an enormous understanding oi childhood.
 He is remembered for many fa- nous sayings, among them, "The problem of life is not to make life easier but to make men stronger. This is a sermon to take home and ponder over. Are we tryine to make our children stronger Or, are we trying to make life easier for them when they grow up?
 After all, both things probably to the strong man. He learns to accept hardships, to face bat ties and to assume responsibility without wearing himself out either mentally or physically. The old saying that work does not kill as many people as worry merely puts the same thing into other words. It is our emotions that wear us out, worries, chafing, dis appointments, discouragements.
 When children are little they have the same trials in proportion to tehir small world that we have in ours. Never discount childish 'troubles-they are there, as real as the clouds.
 Lessons in Life
 The way we teach them to sur mount their small failures and dis appointments is the way they will regard bigger worries in later life. True, children need more encour- agement, more praise, more love, more understanding than adults, but at the same time these things carried out to the exclusion of more strenuous guidance would be a softening process.
 It is right to teach them to stand up for what they consider just and fair when it takes cour- age to do so. It is right to see that they have responsibilities regard ing home duties and that they learn to do them without too much grumbling. No adult ever takes responsibility well who has not learned at least something abou it when he was young. It is right to teach children that truth and honesty come first, even though they get no return, and often the reverse, for it.
 We Americans have had an er- roneous idea that the more we do for our children in material way the happier they will be when they grow up. We rae learning that in too many cases it is quite the reverse. The spoiled child, the spoiled youth will be only too like ly to break under unhappiness and emotional stress if his rose-strewn
