New York, Dec. 12—0 One of the
most widely excited selling move
ments in the history of the cotton mar

government crop estimate here today.
There had been heavy liquidation be
fore the report was published and
when' the official figures of the yield
were received the market was ruling
around 18.90 for March, which repre
sented a decline of nearly $l2 a bale

before Thanksgiving. It seemed, how
ever, that many traders had remained
long off the market in hope that to
day's estimate would inspire bulls
with renewed confidence and the of
ficial indication of 11,511,000 bales
was evidently a disappointment from
that standpoint. There was a rush of
gelling from all directions and prices
brobe about a cent a pound within five
m nutes,
Within less than twenty minutes af
tef the report was published, March
contracts sold at 17.50, or 162 points
below the high level of the morning

Following are the songs which will

mast tree, Saturday night, Dec. 23:
It came upon the midnight clear, ‘
That glorious song of old, s
From angels bending near the earth!
To touch their harps of gold. |
“Peace on earth, good will to men, ‘
From Heaven's gracious King.” |
The world in solemn stillness lay |
To hear the angels sing. i
Still through the cloven skies theyl
come |
‘With peaceful wings unfurled. 1
And still their heavenly music'floatql
O’er all the weary world. \
Above its sad and lowly plains |
They bend on hovering wing, }
And ever o'er its Babel sounds |
The blessed angels sing. ;
For lo! the days are hastening on |
By prophet bards foretold. |
When with the ever-circling years
Comes 'round the age of gold— |
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world send back the
sONng |
Which now the Angels sing. |
Joy to the World |
Joy to the world! The Lord is come;
Let earth receive her king;
Let every heart prepare Him room, |
And heaven and nature sing. |
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven, and heaven and nature
sing.
Joy to the world! The Savior reigns;
Let men their songs employ
While fields and flocks, rocks, hills
plaing, |
Repeat the sounding joy.
Repeat the sounding joy, etc. |
He rules the world with truth and
grace i
And makes the nations prove
The glory of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love, etc.
Silent Night.
Silent night! Holy night!
All is calm, all is bright,
Round yon virgin mother and ch'ild!
Holy infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night! Holy night!
« Shepherds quake at the sight!
Glories stiream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing Allelula.
Christ, the Savior, is born!
Christ, the Savior, is horn!
Silent night! Holy night!
Son of God Lioves pure light,
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace.
Jesus Lord, at the bird.
Jesus, Lord, at thy bird.

" TE are pleased to announce that we have contracted to sell the Maxwell
¥ Mbtor Car in this territory.
We have selected the Maxwell because we belicve that ‘it comes nearer to
being the ideal car for the average family than any cther on the market.
We v.cre asked by various manufacturers to represent them in this tei:ritory,
and before we made a decision we considered them all carefuily, comparing the
cars point by point, and making sure of the right choice, because you realize that
taking the agency for a car means the same to us as the buying of a car does to
you.
; And we believe it is worth while for us to give you our reasons for the de- ’
cision we made. :
; First we found the Maxweli complete—in every possible detail. The engine
is modern. simply built, yet extremely powerful and durable. The car is light in
weight, but sturdily constructed. There is an abundance of speed. The opera
tion of th- car is simple and easy. The light weight and great power, of course,
mean economy in gasoline and oil. : :
Point by point the Maxwell is equal or superior to most cars selling for a few
hundred dellars more. There is style, plenty of rcom for the full number of pas
sengers which each model is rated to carry, and unusual comfort. We were >
gratified to find these features so pronounced in a low priced car.
The equipment is also complete. There is electric starter and electric
lights, decmountable rims, one man top, rain-vision windshield-—everything the
motorist needs for convenience and comfort.
And o when we found how the Maxwell compared in ail these points—then
considercd the price of ss9s—several huadred dollars lower than any other car
_offering thie same advantages, we were satisfied that it was the best car to sell,
because it must be the car that people will want.
We are fully equipped to give prompt and satisfactory service to Maxwell |
owners—znd we are in a position to make immediate deliveries. We will tell you
more about the Maxwell in future advertisements—but meanwhile we invite
you to vitit our salesroom—and arrange for a demonstration at your conven
ience.
We ore enthusiastic about the Maxwell—but no more so than you will be
when you are acquainted with it. - ;
