Clark & Company’s Cotton Letter New York, Oct. 2.—Cotton started easier on selling due to the publi-) cation of the Amoskeag statement showing nearly three million dollars loss for their fiscal year and a map that was clear and warmer every where. Leading bulls, however, took the contracts and by consistent sup port of the market worked it up by noon to a point where a short inter est was apparently dislodged forcing December quiculy to 25.80 and cre ating a market sufficiently big to permit of heavy profit taking.

Measurements of the temperature and heat radiation of Mars were made with a vacuum thermo-couple attached to the observatory’s 100 mission screens from the rionrerm Inch reflecting telescope. Transmis sion screns were used so that the light reflected from the planet and the thermal radiation from its heat ed surface could Jbe separated and analyzed.

OPENS ATLANTA OFFICE PROGRESSIVE PARTY Atlanta, Oct. 2.—The Progressive Independent, or LaFollette Party to day has opened its national cam paign headquarters here on a scale never before quite equalled by any national party. In fact, the working Woman Novelist Joins Democratic Party Washington, Oct. 2,—The winning of Ida M. Tarbell to the standard of Democracy has created a great deal of interest among the women voters not alone of Washington, but of the entire east. Miss Tarbell, for many years one of the editors of McClure’s Magazine, author of a life of Lincoln that is authoritative and author also of a story on the Standard Oil Company that created a sensation when it was printed, has declared for Davis and Bryan. Miss Tarbell’s reasons for deciding to support Mr. Davis’ candidacy are that the Republican tariff is unjust, the Teapot Dome and other naval oil leases were another raid on the treas ury, and that Mr. Davis always stood with the liberals in congress. One of the latest wonders of sci ence is the man made reproduction of minerals. force in the party headquarters in the Palmer building is larger than that used in any even of the state campaigns except for the principal offices in the most heated fights. Hon. J. L. Sibley, who will be in charge of the headquarters, came to Atlanta from Milledgeville today and will be at the Kimball house until the general election.
