VOLUME SMALL
FOR COTTON

NEW YORK, Oct. 3 G.N.S0.
With the volume of trading at a
considerably slackened pace, the
cotton market turned extremely
quiet today and futures settled in
narrow range at or slightly
above the previous close. Grains
were agein easier, but this was
offset by the better tone in stocks.
Improvement in the Liverpool
market was an additional sustain
ing factor.
An overnight accumulation of
selling orders from the South and
abroad caused some unseStlement
at the opening, when futures
eased / to points from last
nights finish. but as the initial
offerings were absorbed by a
slightly improved trade demand,
the list moved gradually higher.
Wall Street houses were in the
ring during forenoon dealings for
moderate blocks of cotton. Locals
also bought. Spot firms and COM
mission houses early sellers, re-
stricted operations on the upturn.
Liverpool was on both sides of the
market.
Midday prices were unchanged
to two points higher, with Deem
Der up two at 1915, March up one
at 12:43, May up two at 12:49, and
July unchanged at 1858.

SLEEPY MARKET.
BRINGS DREAMS
BY THE WALL STREET
SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, Oct. 3 G.N.S)
The stock market all but fell
asleep yesterday and from the
looks of things brokers apparently
are trying to conjure up a few OF
those day dreams on which shares
apparently rose up last week.
While yesterdays market action
left a good deal to be desired, the
cessation of Mondays decline was
somewhat encouraging. Offset,
ting this is the fact that the pre-
vious days selling was not at all
heavy even by recent standards
of dullnesS.
Yesterdays turnover of only
10000 shares made it the slow,
est day since September and
the third smallest since early in
July.
A steel wage cut is quite un-
likely at the present time.
With steel industry operations
below Is per cent of theoretical
rated capacity, employment in
the mills of the leading com
panies is relatively small. The
meagerneSS of employment in
the industry at this time would
not mean any great saving to
the companies inaugurating the
downward adjustment.
With the auto industry taper
ing off in preparation for the
start on new models no Sizeable
pickup in operations seems in
prospect for the near future.
Commodity traders are not par.
ticularly bullish here.
World supplies of many COM
modities such as cottonseed oil,
cotton lard, cocoa, and silk and
others are more than adequate.
This would initiate against any
sustained advance.
Another factor which might
prove bearish is the weakness in
sterling. Another break in the
pound could easily tart a new
downward spiral of commodity
prices as was witnessed during
the lall Of 1881 and the spring of
1882.

While there has been some agita-
ton for the abandonment of the
compulsory control of cotton pro-
duction this year, due to the fact
that drought conditions may cut the
crop in many of the cotton states

belt will not produce the ten mil
lion bales which the Bankhead act
it is generally believed that
the government plans will not be

a real cotton shortage, it will be
best to carry out the proposed pro-

may be able to pick out its weak
points, and decide whether crop
control is justihable under any con-

AN EDITORS ENEMIES

! Good, honest men seldom eve,
get angry with an editor. They
generally know that most editors
care very little about money except
Just enough to keep a decent home.
They know that editors are mostly
of that particular type of dam
fool known as idealists, who want
to see everybody treated fairly. The
printer uses a plea rule, the editor
the golden rule. They are hard
boiled at times but underneath as
soft as a kitten.
They trample on peoples toes
sometimes-not Just to hear them
squeal-but because they have an
honest conviction that those people
are wrong. They seldom let per-
sonal feelings prompt an attack.
The longer they stay with it, the
more the editors personal feelings
are submerged and the public spirit
arises.
The true journalist doesn't care
much if he ruins a good customer
If he feels that he has done some
thing for the public. The COM
mon man is always his friend. Edi-
tors hate uppity people who try to
make a big show of themselves.
They see life as it is, and as they
would have it.
They get cussed more than a
dozen other people and seldom give
a darn. Persecution and criticism
they have at every turn but they
get accustomed to it.
AS a rule they smoke, drink
moderately, cuss mildly, like a fight,
love good neighbors ever if they
are mill hands, hate sham and hy-
pocrisy, have the Fundamental
principle of religion, defend honest
men, despise incidence and pity
ignorance.
There's always some halfwit poll
tician sore at them but by the grace
of the Good Lord, it seldom hurts
them. Good men understand and
believe in them. Only the two-by-
tours ever get sore with them.

WHY HI CHANGE?

Why is it so many persons under
60 a complete change of personality
the moment they get under the
steering wheel of an automobile?
In everyday work and contact they
may be cautious and careful; they
may be generous and thoughtful in
dealing with their fellowmen. But
let them get behind a steering wheel
and they are contentious and reck-
less. Many drivers of automobiles
appear to feel that they own the
whole road. They refuse to con-
cede that a person crossing the
street has just as much right in that
street as they have.
Men who would never think Of
taking a chance in handling a piece
of factory machinery; men who
give every consideration in every
day contacts become almost demons
when they start home from Office
and factory. They cut corners
pass on curves and at intersection
and help contribute to the annua
automobile death toll of thirty-ode
thousand.

The Parkway

The probability that survey and
work on the great scenic parkway,
that is to traverse the crest of the
Blue Ridge at our own back door,
will begin within the next sixty
days, will be pleasing news to all Of
us. The three million dollars al
to North Carolina for this
purpose, if put to use this fall and
winter, will go a long way in help
ing to provide employment for men
who will need to work to live.
But aside from the immediate
economic value of this construction
is the linking up of this wonderful
mountain section with the nation a
a whole. True, good roads now leac
into almost every county and there
is convenient approach to. cove ane
mountain, but these highways now
are used principally by visitors from
the lowlands of our own state, ano
the wider scope of national interest
is not reached.
To Congressman Bob Doughton
perhaps more than to any other ont
individual, should go the credit fol

highway as far as Blowing Rock

shooting single birds.
"On a day last season she and
the dog went hunting and the
pointer left her to run into an old
field in which the grass was high.
Up flew a quail. My friend banged
away and down came the bird. An
other appeared, to be brought down
and another. Quail, one at a time,
began o appear at intervals of
about IS seconds. The lady stood

would allow her.
"Then she went to the spot a
few yards away from which the
birds had flown up. There stood
the pointer over a rabbit hole in
which there were several quail. 1t

birds into the hole and let them
out one at a time, holding a paw

GOOD BUT

GOOD BUT
Prof. Rexford G. Tugwell is d
smart fellow, whether you like him
or not. 1t was a good idea to send
him out to combat the notion, ap-
parently spreading in the West, that
the prevailing drought is a manifes-
tation of divine displeasure with
the AAA program.
Professor Tugwell's argument is
simple, yet strong. If the Lord is
angry with the AAA, he says, and
is showing it by sending the
drought, why hasn't the thing been
limited by the Canadian border?
The Canadian farmers had nothing
to do with the AAA, yet they are
being burnt as completely as those
of North Dakota.
This is probably as good an argu-
ment as could be framed for the
purpose, but nobody need expect it
to be completely effective. When
an idea of this kind once gets a.
broad, no sort of argument is much
good. Professor Tugwell is smart,
but it will take a smarter man than
he is to eliminate superstition.

anew with his sound common-sense.
He said something the other day
which puts the finger right ON the
sore spots in our national mess.
Our school system is wrong, he
said, because it turns out millions
of high school graduates not fitted
for any sort of job, and denies to
many the opportunity to develop
what talents they have. We've got
to get back to the pioneer spirit
which will tackle any problem Gag
ierly, even if 'the answer isn't in the
back of the book"
I heartily agree with Mr.. Ford,
especially when he remarks that one
of the greatest troubles of the ma
ton is that men do not form their
own opinions and are not ready to
fight for them. 1t looks to me,
sometimes, as if we were becoming
a nation of mollycoddles, afraid to
have convictions or to express them.
Still I don't believe the old spirit
of Americanism is dead; it is only
sleeping and some day it will awak-
en- again.

WELL TO REMEMBER

Far be- it from us to discourage
anyone's optimism on so vital a
matter as world peace, but those
who would take too much reassur-
ance from the recent peace talk OF
Dictator Hitler would do we'll to
remember that the Kaiser he now
seeks to emulate in other ways also
paraded as a great lover of peace.
Dictator Hitler says that Ger
many will never fight except in
self-defense and then goes on to say
that the German people are sacred

without guilt twenty years ago.
That sort of self defense could
be mighty dangerous for a weaker
nation or n that such a "defen-

weaker. 1t was rather hard on
Belgium when Germany began to
"defend'' herself without conscious
ness of guilt in 1924. Of course
it may have been that some child
