NEW YORK. May 25. —The expectation
of bullish private acreage and crop condition
figures led to further buying in the cotton
market at the opening today. The initial
advance of 7 to 9 points was also encour
aged by reports of better prospects for an
early settlement of the British coal strike
and higher Liverpool cables. There was
gome New Orleans and scattered southern i
gelling as well as realizing on the basis of
12.50 for July and 13.50 for October, how
ever, and fluctuations were somewhat irreg
ular after the call with recent buyers tak
ing profits in anticipation of a bearish
Weekly report from the weather bureau re
at midday. Private cables reported a bet
ter inquiry for cotton goods in Manchester.
There was some scattered realizing later,
but offerings were generally well taken and
demand seemed to be broadning somewhat
on a private report placing the condition of
the crop at 65.4 and pointing to a reduction
of 30.5 per cent in acreage with a crop in
dication of only 7.600.000 bales. July sold
up to IS.S3c and October to 13.G0c early
in the noon hour or about 21 to 25 points
net higher. The weekly report of the
weather bureau showed, improved condi
tion in the belt, but said the condition was
•till unsatisfactory in many sections be
cause of previously unfavorable weather.
Buying for western accounts was a factor
early in the afternoon with July selling up
to 12.98 and October to 13.73. or 35 to 40
points net higher on the active months.
Reports that a renewal of negotiations
for settling the wage disputes in Lanca
shire was pending helped the advance but
the main factor was said to be a bullish
acreage and condition report.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, May 25.—Prices were
higher by IS to 19 points in the first hour
of trading in cotton today, buying result
ing from reports that there had been a
break in the ranks of the British coal
miners and that a small number had re
turned to work, and from private crop re
ports, placing the condition at 65.4, the
reduction in acreage at 30.5 per cent and
the indicated .crop at 7,600,000 bales. July
rose to 12.38.
The weekly crop reports fr-.-m the govern
ment were accepted as indicating crop
progress under improved weather conditions,
but most traders held that they still pointed
to a low percentage of condition, and buy
ing increased. At 11 o'clock prices were 28
to 30 points Higher than the finals of yester
day, with July up to 12.48 c.
Comment concerning the growing serious
ness of the drouth in the extretne western
belt increased the demand and in the late
trading prices were 31 to 35 points higher
than the close of yesterday, with July up
to 12.54 c.

JfIPSM CHINESE
NEABJGREEMENT
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1921.)
WASHINGTON, May 25.—Japan
has selected the present time as par
ticularly propitious for a settlement 1
of existing differences with China,!
because for the first time in many
years a cabinet has been placed in
power in Pekin which seems to re
gard a Japanese-Chinese entente as
worth while.
Everyoody here is watching with
intense interest the new develop
ments in the F-xr East for the bear
ng they may have on policies of the
United States and other powers. The
announcement in the Tokio dis
patches, that Japan Is willing to ne- ,
gotiate with China for the return of
Shantung, appears on the surface to
contain a new development but in
vestigation discloses that Japan
merely has offered to the new China
government something that preced
ing administrations in Pekin reject
ed —a chance to arrive at a settle- ]
ment of the Shantung controversy on
the basis of the Versailles peace
treaty.
The Chinese delegates at the Paris
conference refused to sign the peace
treaty because it warded Shantung
to Japan and indeed scorned the
Japanese offer to negotiate directly
with China. But since then China
has joined the League of Nations and
has become a member of the council
on an e<iual basis with Japan, so
that in the event that any negotia
tions between China and Japan over
Shantung are inconsistent with the
Versailles treaty or the covenant,
China still has a court of last ap
peal.
Offers to Return Shantung
But the suspicion here is that the
Japanese at last have convinced a
government in China that a basis of
settlement between the two coun
tries does exist and that the oppor
tunities for Japan and China to go
hand in hand in many far eastern
policies will be enchanced if the
world sees China and Japan Settling
their differences over Shantung with
out the intervention of a third in
fluence
Os course Japan offers to give back
Shantung to China by which is meant
only a small piece of territory, name
ly the citv of 'Using Tao, but Japan
has not offered to relinquish all the
various rights and concessions on
both sides of the railway which pene
trates the province of Shantung. To
maintain Japanese rights in that re
gion, a jurisdiction which may not
be legally called “sovereignty” but
amounts to the same thing, virtual
ly is asked by Japan on the ground
that European governments have
similar rights in other parts of
China.
Japan always said she would give
back the city of Tsing Tao and that
she merely wanted to maintain a
Japanese settlement there similar to
the international settlements in oth
er cities in China.
Details Deft Over
These were details left by the
Paris peace conference for direct ne
gitiations between Japan and China.
The bitterness against Japan has
prevented any Chinese government
thus far from negotiating with Ja
pan. The Chinese have offered to do
so time and again. It remains to be
seen whether the Chinese are ready
to talk ij; over. If they are, then
’the impression here that the new
Pekin cabinet is friendlier to the
Japanese than its predecessors will
be confirmed.
There is, incidentally, a good deal
of rumor and gossip coming out of
the Far East again about an alliance
between Japan and China, a working
agreement along the lines of “Asia
I for the Asiatics” but while these ru
mors have been cropping out ever
since the kaiser started the “yellow
peril” idea, the only interest they
possess at this time is that Japan
and China really appear to be get
ting together. China itself is torn
by civil war in which the claim of
the southern rebels is that the north
ern government has from the days of
Yuan-Shi-Kai been too friendly to
the Japanese.
Should Japan and China settle the
Shantung controversy amicably it
would remove some of the objec
tions which have been raised in
America to the Versailles treaty for
if China were satisfied with the Japa
nese proposals, the outside govern
ments would have little ground for
complaint.
Must Hide Legs
NEW YORK.—-French heels and
open work stockings are taboo for
the members of the Women’s Oversea
Service league, composed of women
who served in Europe during the
war. According to a recent ruling,
the official uniform will include
high-laced shoes ami plain black
stockings.
Steals Watchdog
PE.RTH AMBOY.—At Matawan, a
chicken fancier bought six costly
chickens recently and to protect them
from thieves bought a rabbit hound.
He elamped the hound to the chicken
coop. The next morning he found
that thieves had taken hound, chain,
chickens and all.
Action in France
PARIS. — Inflated prices tor meat
in France dropped quickly when the
government took action. A single
announcement that drastic steps
would be taken unless immediate im
provement was noted threw the prof
iteers into a panic, and reductions of
20 to 30 per cent followed.
Easier To Get Maids
SOUTH BEND. —The. problem ot
houswives in obtaining and holding
maids apparently has been solved by
the elimination of hundreds of girls
' from local factories and the substi
-1 tution of men in their place. Up to
j three months ago it was impossible
to get a maid.
Use Milk
Try brushing the top of your pie
with milk before putting it in the
oven. It will be greatly improved.
Parasols
The newest sun shades are long
handled affairs with very short para
sol parts.
ALIVE? YOU BET! HE’S ONLY 134
r J f
B \ .4
The other day, down in Washington, a sharp-eyed auditor for
the U. S. Interior Department noticed “John Smith, Shell Lake,
Minn.,” had been on the Indian pension list for fifty years. “Aha!”
said the auditor, and immediately wrote a letter to the United
States attorney at Minneapolis. Was John alive? Or was some faker
getting the money? John says he’s alive. He’s a Chippewa chief. Real
name, Ka-Be-Nah-Gwey-Wence. “Alive? Huh!” grunted John, as
the white men call him, “I’m only 134 years old!” A year ago John
thought he was only 129. But there was an error in computing
his age which cost him four years, he says.
SIL VEftPENNYDEMONSTRA TES
WONDER OF ENGRAVING ART
MANCHESTER. —Referring to an
Arab noxv visiting Cairo, who has
written 110 words from the Koran
on a grain of rice, The Manchester
Guardian recalls an English penman
of equal skill.
Peter Bales, as is learned from
Holinshed’s Chronicle, put in the
compass of a silver penny more
things than would fill several ordi
nary pages, and presented Queen
Elizabeth with the manuscript set
in a gold ring and covered with a
crystal, together with a magnifying
glass so powerful that the Queen
could easily decipher the manuscript,
“which she held on her thumbnail
and commended the same to the
lords of the council and the ambas
sadors.”
Bales subsequently issued a chal
lenge “to all Englishmen and strang
ers” to write, for a pen of gold of
SIOO value, in all kinds of hands,
‘best, straightest and fastest,” and
most kinds of ways "a full, a mean,
a small, with line and without line,
in a slow set hand, a mean facile
hand and a fast running hand,” and,
further, to write "truest and speed
iest, most secretary and clerklike,
from a man’s mouth, reading, or pro
nouncing, either English or Latin.
Another writing master, David
Johnson, accepted the challenge and
the contest opened on Michaelmas
Day, 1595, before five judges and a
hundred spectators. Bales was ad
judged the winner In all three sec
tions, though the competition in
“writing sundry kinds of fair hands
proved a near thing for him.
He gained points for the beauty
and “most authentic proportion” of
his “Roman hand,” but Johnson scor
ed more marks in court hand and in
"bastard secretary” hand.
Bales, being then on his mettle,
presented his "masterpiece,” compos
ed of “secretary and Roman hand
four ways varied,” and offered to
forego all his previous advantages if
Johnson could better it. This proved
impossible, so Bales carried off the
gold pen and had it painted and set
up for 1 is sign.
Farmers Send Blankets
To Keep Harding Warm
WALPOLE, N. H.—The Cheshire
County Farm Bureau has issued
blanket insurance against a presi
dential chill by sending a pair of
fleecv bed coverings to the White
House. These were manufactureif
from wool sheared from sheep raised
on the hills of New Hampshire.
In a letter accompanying the gift
State Senator Fred O. Smalley said;
“Y'ou will be interested to know
that the farmers had practically their
entire 1920 wool crop converted into
blankets, about 500 pairs in all.
These blankets, by the way, are the
old-fashioned kind, such as our
grandmothers used to make. By
securing a market in this way we
hav? been able to obtain a price of
about 40 cents a pound for the raw
wool, which was better than no mar

Agent Uses Gopher
For His Demonstration
There’s one animal that would be
mighty unpopular if he ever left
civilization and his free board and
keep and went back to his fellows.
That’s the obliging little pocket
gopher that travels # with Leo K.
Couch, of the bureau of biological
survey. United States department of
agriculture, who is giving a series
of demonstrations out west on how
to trap and poison pocket gophers.
This little renegade, whether be
cause he has no choice in the matter
or because he likes the government
fare of carrots, potatoes, and par
snips, divulges the actual xvorking
methods of his kinsmen. When all
is set for the demonstration, he is
taken from his cage. He sets to
work, unabashed by the spectators,
and gives a first-hand exhibition of
how a gopher makes a tunnel. Then
he shows how Ihe mound is made
and the entrance to it stopped up.
His keeper then digs him out. places
him back in the cage, and proceeds
to his explanation of how to set
traps and where to place bait to d“
stroy his mascot's unreformed
brethren.

Mrs. Harriman was determin
ed not to see any good in An
thony’s wife when he brought
her from the country to live
under his mother's roof. And
so when Charlotte not meet
people half way, and had no so
cial graces. Mrs. Harriman
blamed her, and the day the girl
innocently w«nt to a matinee
with a man whom she hardly
knew, both Mrs. Harriman and
Tony accused.her of lack of dig
nityand asordidflirtation
CHAPTER XXII
Husband and Wife
IT is a terrible thing to accuse an
innocent girl of wrong doing or
wrong thinking. As Charlotte
stood facing her mother-in-law
conscious that Tony believed every
thing his mother did by the fact
that he did nothing to defend her,
she felt a sense of shame as though
the afternoon had been touched with
sordidness. She made no further de
fense, she simply turned away and
went to her room. Mrs. Harriman’s
edict that hereafter she might not
leave the house, that she would he
watched over like a prisoner, seemed
unthinkable. Charlotte had looked
forward to her stroll on the avenue,
she had loved the walks in the park,
and now for a bit/of innocent pleas
ure at the hands of a man old enough
to be her father she was to be de
prived of her one recreation.
She flung herself on the bed shak
en with sobs. She was aware that
Janice would be her wacthdog, Ja
nace with the thin lips and the cold
eyes would accompany her on her
walks. Oh, it was' unbearable!
“Charlotte, there is no need of
your carrying on like this.” Tony's
voice came to her cold with dis
pleasuie. “You have abused the
trust that I had in you and your
punishment is only fair.”
The smugness of Tony’s words fill
ed Charlotte with a sudden fury. Al
though she had had no wish to de
fend herself to Mrs. Harriman, she
could nor go on allowing Tony to
believe these things of her. She sat
up on the bed pushing her hair out
of the blue eyes that were swollen
with crying.
“Punishment, and why should I be
punished, I’m not a child!” she
stormed. "I’m your wife, the wom
an you married, the woman you
swore to honor and trust, and yet
you believe me guilty of a sordid
flirtation with a man who had no
such thought in his head.”
Tony hesitated. There was some
thing about Charlotte’s whole de
meanor that appealed to his better
self. He knew her incapable of de
ceit. She was too much of a child
to plan a vulgar intrigue, and he
loved her.
“I don’t believe anything of the
kind,” he said sitting down on the
bed and drawing her to him. "But
the fact remains that you did spend
the afternoon with Nick Fowler aft
er I had asked you to have nothing
to do with him.”
“Well, why not?” she cried. “I
have no friends; your friends don’t
like me, and you never told me why
I was to have nothing to do with
him.”
“I told you enough,” he said in
cold displeasure, his impulse to for
give Charlotte swallowed up by her
defiance. Tony had expected contri
tion, a sobbing promise to never do
anything of the kind again. He had
fancied himself a noble young hus
band forgiving a foolish and erring
young wife, and here was Charlotte
contrite al all, not even ready
to Mmit that she had done wrong.
“As for the fact that my friends
don’t like you,” he said coldly,
releasing her, a.nd getting up. “Whose
fault is that?’ Have you tried to
make them like vou? Have you met
them half way?’’
“I thought you’d understand, but
you don’t,” sobbed Charlotte. "I’m
lonely so much of the time.
“Mother is always willing and
ready to be with you.”
“O. but she doesn’t approve of me,
you know that.” *
“Os course she approves of you;
you are allowing yourself to get mor
bid and foolish. If you’d try to con
ciliate her instead of always feeling
that she is against you, everything
xvould be better all around.”
Tony felt at that moment that he
was speaking the truth and that his
mother had had a great deal to put
up with in Charlotte. She had
bought the girl pretty clothes, and
had made an effort to introduce her
to the younger set. It was Charlotte’s
own fault if she did not try to make
people like her. Nevertheless, he in
tended to make a personal appeal to
Edith Comstock. Edith could put
Charlotte on to the ropes and could
prove an invaluable friend if Char
lotte would meet her half way.
CHAPTER XXIII
Modernizing Charlotte
TONY «id speak to Edith Com
stock about taking Charlotte
in hand, and she looked at
him in mild surprise.
“Why, Tony, I didn’t think your
wife cared for me.”
“She's never known many girls,
an I I thought if you were to sponsor
her with the crowd things might be
more congenial.”
“Why, of course I will. I’d be glad
to.”
Edith privately could nor under
stand why Tony had married such a
girl as Charlotte.
“She isn’t his kind at all,” she had
told her mother. “O, she's pretty
enough in a colorless way, but she
has no style and she simply will not
try to make herself attractive. It
will be interesting to see how long
Tony will stand for it. it’s easy
enough to see that Mrs. Harriman
is anything but pleased.”
But Edith kept her word and took
Charlotte in hand. Inasmuch as Mrs.
Harriman was perfectly willing to
allow Charlotte io go anywhere with
Edith. Charlotte grasped the oppor
tunity and genuinely tried to like
this girl who seemed to have so
many accomplishments that she her
self lacked. She watched Edith close
ly and was forced to admire many
things about her. Her tact and poise
were never failing, but then Edith
had been carefully schooled, and
Charlotte saw that it was not so
much that Edith was beautiful as it
THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1021.
was that she made every good point
count.
For one thing her eyebrows had
been carefully plucked and the
smooth, silky line across her eyes
gave a piquant expression to her
face. Charlotte watched her having
her brows shaped one afternoon, and
was fascinated, although she drew
back in horror when Edith suggested
that having her own done would
make a great difference in her ap
pearance.
“Oh, I couldn’t.”
“Not if you knew it would make
you look better?”
“I don’t think it would.”
It was the same when Edith sug
gested that Charlotte have a per
manent wave put in her hair.
“You don’t know how it would
change your appearance,” she coaxed.
“It’s so artificial, besides yours
isn’t curly.”
“I’d have it done in a minute, but
it wouldnlt suit my type.” Edith’s
hair was dark and silky. When the
light shone on it it looked like satin.
“Yours should be fluffy,” she ex
plained to Charlotte. "And you
oughtn’t to wear it combed high on
your head that way.”
Charlotte consented to have it
waved with an iron, but she would
not consent to a permanent wave
in spite of Edith's coaxing, neither
would she learn to smoke, and her
expression of horror when Edith
offered her a cigarette one afternoon
made a good story to tell over after
w.ard.
"How are you and Charlotte get
ting on together?” Mrs. Harriman
asked one afternoon when Edith had
run in to take Charlotte for a drive
in her little electric.
Edith smiled apologetically. “Does
she ever say anything about our
friendship? Poor little thing, I
shock her to death every time I see
her. She despises anything artificial,
and absolutely refuses to adopt any
petty vices.”
"She’ll never be popular,” Mrs.
Harriman sighed.
Edith was silent.
“You know, dear,” said the older
woman leaning forward to put her
slim, aristocratic hand over Edith’s
own, "I had always hoped that some
