IN COTTON
CONTINUING .
SLOWLY

NEW YORK, Aug 3 GN.S).
The cotton market continued
downward today.
Selling came largely from the
South. Wall Street and wire
firms liquidated the near months.
Commission houses and local
traders also sold.
Co-operatives Halt Sales
Moderate demands appeared
from the trade, with Japanese
interests taking in october and
May deliveries. Liverpool bought
the near months. An interesting
feature was that cooperative
brokers had ceased selling for
the time being.
The weekly Government weather
report pointed out that the pc
riod had been abnormally warm
in most of the cotton belt,
especially in the western portions,
where the temperatures averaged
from 3 to 6 degrees above nor
NAL.
Rains in the East were helpful
in numerous localities but others
remained too dry. In the West
hot, dry weather favored holding
weevils in check, but a good
many areas were said to be
needing rain.
Trade observers were interested
in the statement of an official
of the Farm Board that disposi-
tion of the 65O,0OO bales contem-
plated in the coming IL months
would be in actual cotton to con-
sumers from the 100000 bales
held over from 1929.
Near noon october showed a
loss of 5 points to 5.84. Decen-
ber was off 6 at 500, January
off 6 at GOT, March off 4 at 6.22
and July off at 6.46.

Validity of the patent of Colin

STOCKS RESUME
| ADVANCE WITH
. NEW v|GOR
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Aug. 3 Q.N.SO.-
The recovery movement which
started in the stock market two
weeks ago was resumed with
vigor today.
Yesterdays reaction carried
over into the early dealings but
again activity died down on the
sell-off. This led to renewed
buying operations through the list
and the market advanced on a
broad front.
Gains Are Common
BY early afternoon gains of
and 2 points were common and
some of the volatile issues Ike
Auburn did better. American
Telephone was the outstanding
issue among the leaders with a
rise of more than 3 points. u. S.
Steel preferred rose a couple Of
points and the common advanced
more than a point in heavy
trading.
The rails we're a bright spot,
recovering from their weakness
of the last three days. Heavy
buying in the rails was the sig
nal for resumption of the ad-
vance after strength in the cop
pers and oils stiffened the market
in the early dealings.
Substantial gains were recorded
by all the carriers. Atchison and
Union Pacific spurted about 4
points each while the lower-priced
issues rose / to 2 points, with
Northern Pacific prominent in
this group.
Volume Picks Up
Volume picked up sharply on
the advance. Some profit-taking
developed in the early afternoon
but stocks gave very little ground
and held near their highs of the
day.
The biggest rise came shortly
after noon following publication
of the power output figures.

ARE TIMES HARD?

Hard times may be among us, but there is
still evidence to the effect that considerable
part of the population does not lie down to
dream of hunger or arise in fear of lack Of
sustenance.
When one observes the vast sums of
money spent for pleasure amusement and
nom essentials, it is hard to believe that times
are hard. Beauty shops are crowded. Golf
courses are full of players Baseball games are
well patronized Motion picture theatres en-
joy good patronage. Pool and billiard halls
are open and busy. We are all wearing good
clothes and keeping up our appearance. New
cars are appearing on our streets daily, gas
stations are prospecting. Times are not SO
hard with any of us that we cannot buy gas
to go joy-riding. How many of those crying
about hard times have put up their cars and
gone to walking?
Cigarette and chewing gum sales are in
creasing monthly. The two largest manufac-

One of our friends down in Section Seven
warns us not to send any of last weeks pa
pers to the disgruntled homeseekers in 9TH
er localities, if we expect them to come to
Benton county to make their homes. He
says the statement made by the county
agent of the average net income from the
average Benton county farm is too small to
prove profitable or attractive to homeseek-
ers If we had any idea that the figures for
last year were to become the average for the
section, we certainly would agree with him,
and instead of urging others to come here,
we would devote no little of our time to
warning them not to.
However, small as the figures were, as
quoted in Mr.. Durdle's report, we venture to
say that there are hundreds of thousands of
farmers who would gladly exchange these
average figures for the ones they would be
be compelled to show, could their losses be
accurately figured.
We presume that the figures as printed
were the net for the average farm in Ben
ton county. If so, they undoubtedly were
what was left after the family had been
clothed and fed. If this assumption is cor
rect, farmers were better off in this section
than in most any other place in the United
States and far better off than most merch-
ants who, the past year, have made most of
their compilations with red ink. Here no one
was compelled to kill stock to prevent them
starving, as was recounted in a letter recent
~ published from the central states.
We still have water and pasture. Cyclones
and floods have not devastated the country.
Droughts cannot ruin us here. We're still
functioning, in spite of our what you may
call decelleration. We're back to normally.

CIVIC PRIDE AND COMMUNITY SPIRIT

CIVIC PRIDE AND COMMUNITY SPIRIT
Civic pride and community spirit are not
measured in costly publicity campaigns, high
salaried press agents, population and public
wealth. If they were, the small town would
register but family.
Civic pride and true community spirit are
found in their purest and most unselfish
form in the small town. In the small town
one finds that unity of purpose and neigh
borliness that is never found in cities
Great cities, only, can afford to spend
great sums advertising their advantages
But this does not make community spirit.
The citizens of the small town take the
greatest interest in their community The
small town newspaper supports every worth
while organization. The small town merch-
ant glories in the fact that he builds his
home town when he builds his business.
When you find civic pride and community
spirit in the small town you know it is the
real thing, and not the product of hired
boosters.

Lewis Carroll.
Manchester, Eng, Guardian0

One of the grimmest and most despairing of English humorists wrote satire mankind ob- viousy intended for those who were neither ehil- dren nor gods, but men in world of men'-and the first part of "Gullivers Travels has been uni versally accepted as tale for babes. Nearly hun dred and fifty years later much happier type of learned wrote fantasy for three little girls and the adventures of his famous Alice" have become a classic to which grown-up readers return again and again. In both cases the fame is be- slowed from quarters where the writer least pected it; the spirit of humor plays it's own prank with the work of the humorsts. But it is easy to understand why the adult world has made much of Alice" while it has neglected say "The Hunting of the Shark" Alice" is inconsequential
 in episode but devoutly logical in detail; Humpty Dumpty orates from his wall a professor from his chair and the philogical faith and fervour of "Jabberwocky" have added indispensable words to the English tongue The "Alce" adventures are saturated in logic that has been raised to the
 yrcal-a most unusual elevation and one that may well hold the attention and admiration long after the nursery and Sehoolroom have been left behind English literature is sngularly rich in humorists; we might offer them, like the vintages of France as dry like Thackeray sweet like Dickens, still like Addison or sparkling like Sterne. Lewis Carroll added a draught of his own contrying to that classic English stream; no one touched his vein before and no one has approached it since It was not satire, and it certainly not sense, and yet it was a good deal more than the childs tale that he intended in the two works on which his worldwide fame depends. Perhaps he was rather like his own Red King-he dreamed dream and it became part of the real world as he dreamt 1t.

ROOSEVELT HOLDS STRENGTH.

With but four months left until the two big parties name their candidates for the Presidency, the Republican Presidential nomination is assured for MT Hoover, and Coy. Franklin D. Roosevelt con- tnues to be strongest contender in the field for the Democratic leadership. The sniping campaign that developed early this winter has apparently left his forces unshaken and the opposition to him continues to be split among the fayorite sons of several States No one of these has shown sufficient strength to threaten the New Workers position which, although not commanding, is advantageous than that of any other possible choice of his party
 recent survey of the field which is regarded as conservative, gave Gov. Roosevelt 678 out of 154 delegates to the National Convention Favorite sons have 190 ad 286 are listed doubtful. Under the two-thirds rule he is about 90 votes short of having enough to insure his victory. But he has a majority following that tends to prevent any pre- convention consolidation for any other aspirant.
 His strength is derived mainly from the South and West. Such Eastern States as New Jersey, Pennsylvania Ohio, Illinois, Delaware, Missouri New Hampshire Rhode Island and West Virginia, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Virginia in the South are listed for some else doubtful His man. agers are apparently making no effort to claim States of which they convinced they cannot logically expect to carry There is sound political strategy behind that policy. To claim some State delegation at this time and have it little later instruct for some other candidate would be en- barraSsing and amount of explanation of why it lost could prevent it from weakening the candidate Thus Gov. Roosevets supporters unqueS- tionably wise to concede the opposition every thing that is reasonably doubtful If later it de- velops that some of these States instruct for him. sentiment for him will be augmented by the an- nouncement of a gain
 Admittedly there is serious opposition in some quarters of the East to Gov Roosevelt This has not mitigated against him in the South and West In fact if it has had any appreciable effect it has been to strengthen sentiment for him. The appear ance of Speaker Garner as a receptive candidate has not greatly altered the situation yet Un- doubtedly the Texas delegation will be instructed for him. Seasoned political leaders in the South and West, though they might personally look with favor upon him Presidential candidate too wise in political history and too experienced in pre-conventon strategy to be stampeded into the Garner camp
