DIZZINESS HOLDS
COTTON FUTURES

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 24.-(A,)-
Pre-holiday dullness prevailed II
cotton futures here during the pas
week. Closing quotations Friday
were unchanged to 80 cents bale
above the close OF the previous
week
Restricting trading also was tie
poIitical uncertainty. Many traders
stood on The sidelines awaiting
DEVELOPMENTS from Washington
largely because of rumors that a
strong effort would be made by
administration leaders to induce
the next congress to change or re-
peal existing cotton laws.
Another reason for the dull trad
ing was the disagreeable develop
ment of the great offensive in the
west of Europe. II took most trad
ers by surprise and resulted IN
talk that the war would be pro-
longed.
Trade buying Of contracts fur
nished much Of the demand this
week Offerings were not liberal
and the volume of hedge selling
was altogether smaller than might
reasonably have been expected at
tlAs, season If The year.
Some support vas derived from
Price fixing by mills, that kind
of buying being speeded up. &C
cording to some observers, by a
heavier flow Of war orders to the
mills.
The Commodity Credit Corpora
ton announced it would buy 80.
900 bales Of cotton for lend-leoSc
purposes While this news caused
q slight furry # buying, it was
pffset by liquidation from the long
lide and the eas'ness III OUTSIDE

announced thai through December

week against 167,3G5 the preVio2r

portant poultry growing industry
at present and this should be ex-
banded when feed conditions are
improved Three years ago there
were 1878 laying hens on the
farms and now there are 177,600
such hens. Beef cattle are being
increased and swine is kept on
almost all farms. Each of these
enterprises will be expanded as
more feed and grain are grown.
There are possibilities also in the
future development of the farm
woodlands. The county has 254,-
OO2 acres of farm woodland on
ALSO farms as contrasted with the
1.133, 258 acres planted to crops.
There are about 14,575 acres OF
idle land that is eroding or must
be listed as waste land at present
These acres should be reforesteo
and all of the woodlands handled
in more intelligent fashion.
MI. Leagans says that plans are
beng made for freezer Locker
plants and for retail curb mar
kets to handle surplus vegeta
bles and other farm produce. Al
most 300 acres are devoted tt
vegetables for sale. There are l..
755 farm families having rura
electricity with some 3,171 homes
without this commodity, yet which
are each within 1-3 mile from ex
listing power lines. There is much
need for improving existing farm
buildings with an idea of more
durable and lasting construction
Storage space is needed for the
grain and for cotton and the lead
ing farmers say these matter:
will be pushed in the years tt
come. Leagans found that tn.
alert men and women of the coun
ty are facing their problems witt
clear-eyed vision, knowing tina
adjustments must be made, ane
preparing to meet the need.

Mrs. EstelIe Massey Riddle,
Famous Nurse-COnsuItant,
Visits Forts ANC Group

To Fort Huachuca last week came
Mrs. Estelle Massey Riddle, nation
ally-knoWn nurse and civic leader.
to visit army nurses stationed at
Station Hospital No. /.
Mrs. Riddle, who is consultant of
the National Nursing Council of War
Service, with offices in New York,
was research student on a RoSen-
Wald Fund Project, studying educa-
tional and health facilities in the
rural South. She is credited with
having raised such standards as we'll
as those of schools of nursing, and
establishing and maintaining health
facilities in communities where
needed. During the past ten years
she has served on nearly every i'm
portant committee in the field of
nursing.
During her colorful career, Mrs.
Riddle has served as president of
the National Association of Colored
Nurses; educational director of
Freedman's School Of Nursing.
Washington, D. c.; director of
nurses at Homer c. Phillips Hos
pital, st. Louis, Mo. resigning the
latter position to become consultant
for the NNCWS.
Her present work requires almost
constant travel for the purpose of
gathering facts and information for
the Council, and her broad educa-
ton and cultural background have
served her well in this capacity.
Members of the Army Nurse Corps
who gathered at the Mountainview
Mess last Friday evening to honor
Mrs. Riddle at dinner, and listen to
her inspired address, decided that
she is one of the truly great mem
bers of the nursing profession.

impressed with the drilling, the mill
tary precision of the turns, and
the marine drill which was done by
the second platoon. The brilliance
of the WAC's curls as they marched
was particularly noticed; they're a
good looking and smart looking
group, and I am very interested in
the variety of work they are doing,
especially the art and X-ray. I
should like to say here, the chow
was delicious"
After Mr.. Hughes readings, the
WACs sang for him WAC songs and
"Huachuca," which he enjoyed i'm

This afternoon Saturday was a
beautiful and perfect spring day.
The Sou "all stars were on the
mound at Brock Field practicing
baseball. Gee! those red and white
togs really looked good . and do
We welcome the season. The WACs
will be right in there" with the
good old" Huachuca spirit.
It's been said that a lot of those
baseball stars are going to get their
WAC girl friends back once the sea-
son gets in full bloom And we
know Of several partings of ways.
INQUISITIVE SOLDIERS
The reporters from the 827 T. DIS
asked me, for the benefit of the men
in their battalion, who is T/5th
Cecilia Goldsby?" They say
they are either reading about her or
reading something in the Sentinel
that she has written. Well, fellows,
all L can say is that she's a very
fine personality from Chicago, and
she stays in the limelight because
she participates in many of the more
popular activities of the post
makes nice company, too being
one of our most constant and COM
petent contributors to the paper.
Pvt. Jessie McCaine came by to
let me know in person that he (al-
Ways) knew the whereabouts of
T/4th Esther Lewis -. enough said.
FURLOUGH RETURNS
The WACS who have had a recent
taste of the "Jodey' life seem to
think it gets better and better .
or is it the much-needed vacations?
T/5th Doris Stewart was in New
York for two weeks =. and you can
bet your bottom dollar that she
didn't have time to think of points
N stuff. She didn't even need any
dough- for there were too many
invitations.
Pfc Obelia Slaughter came in
from the "lone. STAR state where
she had visited her home (Dallasy
and Fort Worth, Tex. bringing
greetings to many of the Texans
here the southern hospitality
was superb.
T/5th Julia MCGEE, the church
goer that she is, gave the Windy
City" such a rush that she had little
time to attend services the way she
would have liked to. You can i'm
agine she enjoyed it.
I haven't had a chance to talk
with T/5th Hilda DeFreese since she
got in from New York Il. Just know
she had fine time she looks
rested through it all, however.
T/4th Virginia Meyer, the CLAM
our girl that she is, had much to
tell about Detroit and Ohio. She
wasn't even ready to return, but
beat AWOL by an hour . so she
was doing al-reet for herself.
A SAILOR AND A WAC
Did you see the handsome sailor
about the post last week? I did,
and he was quite nice to converse
with j.. even said he liked the
army, but I'm sure it's only because
of his charming girl-friend, Pfc. Gle

among the first group of Nurses
to arrive at Station Hospital No.
2, after it's opening in 1912.
Throughout her tour of duty here
she was assigned to the female
service of Station Hospital No. 2,
and was frequently praised for her
expert handling of the large num-
Der of maternity cases that passed
through her care here. 1t. Dan
iels' knowledge of maternity care
could largely be attributed to the
fact that she is the mother of two
