Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON
I NEW YORK. May, 9.—Part of yesterday’s I
Tesses were recovered in the cotton market |
at tJie opening today, owing to the strength I
of Liverpool, bullish Manchester advices and I
higher foreign exchange rates. These sea- I
tures led to covering by soonie of yesterday’s j
sellers and frosh commission bouse or trade
bnying, and first prices were firm at an ad
vance of 18 to 32 points with Juv selling at
19.61 and October at 19. US. The demand
was supplied around these figures by re
newed realizing and selling by traders who
had carried long contracts over yesterday’s
break, while there was also scattered selling
on the better weather news from the south.
This caused more or less irregularity with
July casing off to .19.47 and October to 19.60
shortly after the call.
Prices worked off to 19.43 for .Inly snd
19.52 for October later in the morning or
about 15 to 20 points from the early highs,
but selling was restricted by rather a less
favorable weather map than expected and
reports of an improved spot demand in the
soot!:. Thess advices led Io covering by
some of the earlier sellers and there was
scattered buying late In the morning which
gave the market a steady undertone and
caused rallies of 8 or 10 points from the low
est. The weekly report of the weather bu
reau made an unfavorable showing as antic
ipated, but failed to stimulate buying and
trading was comparatively quiet early In
the noon hour.
The marker sagged off* during the early
afternoon under liquidation by early buy
ers who were probably influenced by better
detailed weather reports than expected and
reports that southern were selling
May contracts here against intended de
livery. May eased off to 19.65. or 8
points net lower and October sold down to
19.37, or six points below yesterday’s close.

NEW ORLEANS'COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, May 10.—Complains of
continued heavy rains in portions of Texas
and Oklahoma and a much better Liverpool
market than due put the price of cotton
. higher on the opening today and the initial
upward movement soon had the list 25 to
29 points vp. July rose to 19.20 a pound.
Private reports told of high water in the
Brazos river in Texas and of flooded lowlands
in consequence. Flooded lowlands also were
» noted in portions of Oklahoma where it was
said much replanting of cotton would be
necessary.
A great deal of liquidation came from
the long side of the market and it caused
a gradual sag. In the trading up to 11
o'clock the trading months were put 3
to 10 points under the close of yesterday.
July fell back to 18.88.

Cotton Market Opinions
Munds & Winslow: We expect a resump
tion of the advance.
Housman & Co.: We believe it advisable
to make additional purchases on all reces
sions as may occur.
J. S. Baehe & Co.: The market looks
lower to us.
sS.'B. Chapin & Co.: We still consider (he
market to be in a bullish trading position
and would favor renewed purchases of either
October or December contracts on any fresh
Hubard Bros, d: Co.: After such an ad
vance as has been witnessed here in the
past two weeKS, a resetion coud be expected
at any moment but such reactions will be
entirely of a technical character and lo no-:
change the fundamental fact trial the crop
is off to shell s late start ’.hat the ques
tion of supply in face of constantly impiov-
Ing business condition throughout the world
may be a serious matter this coining season.
• Weld & Co.: We continue to think well
of purchases oi< setbacks.
Hutton & Co.; Coton should rave a god
advance.

THE ATLANTA TKI-WEEKLY JOURNAL
GRAIN |
I CHICAGO. May- 10.—Trade in wheat was
j exceedingly slow today, and trend of prices
| was erratic. A little commission house buy
ing based on higher cables gave the market
I a firm start. A break of 3 cents in May,
due to liquidation and stop loss selling, had
a depressing effect on the deferred months
and encouraged short selling by pit traders.
The market recovered, however, and at mid
day there was a rush on the part of shorts
to cover because of the reports of an im
proved export demand for hard winter wheat
for nearby shipment, fair sales having been
made, and there were inquiries slightly out
of line for more. Weather conditions are
ideal and the weekly weather report says
the crop made excellent progress. Milling
demand for wheat shows n little improve
ment. Minneapolis cnsn wheat was unchanged
to 1c higher, but Winnipeg premiums were
%C off. The crop report of yesterday was
regarded as bearish, but had little influence
on the market.
Wheat closd %c lower to ’Jc higher.
May. $1.37% @51.37%; July. $1.24@51.24% ;
September. $1.17%.
Corn followed the trend of wheat. There
was liquidation early by some of the strong
est local holders, but buying power broad
ened and local shorts were forced to cover.
Offerings increased on the bulges. Receipts
continue heavy. There is a broader domestic
shipping demand in evidence and exporters
are after corn. Weather is favorable for
corn planting.
Corn close %@%c higher. May, 60%:
July. 64%: September, 65%.
Oats followed other grains. Armour sold
July and there was buying by commission
houses. A good domestic shipping demand
for oats is reported.
Oats closed %c lower to %c higher.
May. 36%; Jnly,( 39%: September, 41.
Lard was lower on selling by houses with
eastern and foreign connections. Ribs were
firm on buying inspired by good cash de
mand and light offerings.
Pork closed 25c higher: lard, 2%c to 5c
lower; ribs, unchanged to 25c higher,

President’s Views on
Bonus Question to
Be Given Out Soon]
WASHINGTON, Maj’ 9^—Views of i
President Harding on soldier bonus
legislation, described today at the
White House as unchanged, will be j
transmitted within the next two I
days to Chairman McCumber and
Republican members of the senate |
finance committee.
The president’s ideas on the sub
ject will be presented to the major
ity committee members as the re
sult of the visit of Chairman Mc-
Cumber and several of his associates
to the White House recently, at
which time the outline of the bill
approved by the committee majority
was laid before Mr. Harding. This
bill differs only slightly from the
measure passed by the house.
The president’s position on the
soldier bonus was outlined in a let
ter to Chairman Fordney, of the
house ways and means committee,
when the matter was pending before
that body and which was to the
effect that either a sales tax to
raise the funds for paying the bonus
should be enacted or the legislation
postponed. From that position the
president has not wavered'.
Hugo Stinnes, German
Capitalist, Uses Subs
In Freight Traffic
BY GEORGE WITTE
(Special Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
'Chicago Daily News —Copyright, 1922.)
BERLIN, May 9.—The inventive
Germans' who sent the submarine
Beutchland under command of Cap
tain Koenig to the United States at
the time of the war will surprise the
world again. Hugo Stinnes, the
captialist, purchased two large sub
marines several months ago from
the government after the allied naval I
control commission had waived its |
right to destroy them. Stinnes con
verted them into merchant vessels
by having built on their hulls two
regular decks and funnels so that
the boats now’ look like ships that
are half submerged and about to
sink.
Both the submarines cabry about
6,000 tons of freight each and will I
make their fitst trips to South |
America within six weeks. They are >
called East Prussia and Upper I
Silesia, indicating the reactionary
spirit of their owner.
Flood Waters
Again Sweeping
Northeast Texas
DALLAS, Texas, May 9.—For the
third time this spring flood waters
today were sweeping down northeast
Texas streams and rivers, taking
their toll of life and causing thou
sands of dollars worth of property
damage.
Ralph McClendon lost his life in
the flood at Cleburne in the greatest
flood in that town’s
Hundreds of families living ir the
lowlands were driven from their!
homes. It was believed the warn
ing of two previous floods would
probably prevent a great loss of life.
Fort Worth fiaced a flood stage
equal to that of two weeks ago
jvhich claimed ten lives.
June and July Print
Cloths Are Strong
NEW YORK. May 9.—Prices for June and
July deliveries of print cloths continued to
give exhibitions of strength in the dry goods
market today and sellers were disinclined
to shade them even for spot goods. The nar
rower print cloths were decidedly strong at
their recent advances and there was a good
inquiry tor the wider constructions. Sheet
ings were firm, drills were in better de
mand and a good volume ot business was
done in twills for pocketing purposes. The
announcement of cancellation of unfilled
spring orders for toile du nord ginghams re
flected possible further curtailment of fall
gingham orders by the mills.
Raw silk prices continued to respond to
the strength of the primary markets, and
thrown silk was firm in sympathy. Canton
silks were especially active.
Winter Wheat Estimated
At 584,793,000 Bushels
WASHINGTON. May 9—Winter wheat
production this year was forecast today nt
584.793.000 bushels by the department of
agriculture, which announced tiie condition
of the crop on May 1 as 83.5 per cent of
a normal and the area remaining to be har
vested on that date as 3S 131.000 acres.
The rye production forecast was 79.152.-
000 bushels, and condition 91.7 per cent.

MIAMI, Fla.—Forty-six years
ago Dr. Alexander Graham Bell in

Today he is working on the per

do with the saving of the lives of
people who get stranded at sea and

The first step along this line—the

MEXICO PLANS TO PROTECT
ITS MENNONITE COLONY
Believes in Cult Which Op
poses War Have Pur
chased 100,000 Fertile
Acres and 200,000 Colo
nists Will Till Them
BY ALDEN A. EVANS
(Special Cable to 'The .Journal)
(Copyright. 1922.)
CHIHUAHUA CITY, Mexico-
Extraordinary precautions today
were ordered taken by the authori
ties of\ the states of Durango and
Chihuahua for the protection of the
Mennonite colonists who “trekked”
from Canada to Mexico for “con
science’s sake.” They have pur
chased 100.000 acres of the richest
agricultural land in the two states.
One thousand of them, advance
guard of the host to come- have just
begun the work of getting ready
for thos: on the way or about to
start.
The territory bought is that which
the rival aggregations of bandits,
headed by Francisco Villa and his
ilk, have devastated for years. The
fact that the Mennonites already
have brought from Canada large
numbers of blooded horses ana cat
tle, latest improved farm machinery
and valuable household supplies, to
say nothing of plenty of money, has
aroused the Mexican authorities to
the necessity tiiat they be afforded
ample protection. It is fully realized
that a bandit raid jn them, while
negotiations for Mexican recognition
by the United States government
are in progress, would have a very
serious effect on popular sympathy
with Mexico north of the Rio Grande
despite the fact that these colonists
are former Canadians.
Eventually 200,0C0 Mennonites are
to setth in this section, repopulat
ing the farm lands of the devas
tated region. Here .vill be the head
quarters of the sect. Here will be
stablished a new homeland for those
who oppose wars and the use of
force. The colonists have abandoned
enormously rich farms in Canada
because the Canadian government
refused to recognize their pacifist
views. The Mexico n government
ha. obligated It. .If in writing not
o call on the settlers for military
service or to pay taxes to support
military operations. The; are also
guaranteed freedom of religious be
lief and the right to conduct their
schools without state or church in
terference.
Because they have admitted they
would take no measures for self
protection the authorities must pre
vent raids on the colonists. If at
tacked they would be practically
helpless. They have no fortress,
their buildings are not built with
defense in view, and their only
Arms are a few shot guns, may be
a half dozen Candian army rifles
and a few pistols.
For fifty years they have worked
I building up and developing the val-
men who died at sea from thirst,”
he says. “It seemed inexplicable to
me how men could die thus with
water all around them, both in the
air and in the sea.
“I devised a simple apparatus
which worked satisfactorily. It con
sisted of a glass tube and a bottle.
By breathing in air through the
nose I was able to obtain as much
as an ounce of water an hour—
more than sufficient to maintain
life.”
Then it was that the other scien
tist devised a small bottle to be
strapped around the waist, a rub
ber tubing to breathe through and
another tube, with a rubber hinged
end to keep out thp sea water,
through which the air is expelled.
Now Dr. Bell is at work again on
it, for further perfection. He is
seventy-five years old and is visiting
a daughter and son-in-law here.
uable farm lands of Saskatchewan
and Manitoba. Clinging closly to
the habits and customs of three cen
turies and speaking the German
language for the most part, they
had amassed comfortable fortunes
when the war broke out. Since then
they have had plenty of trouble
with the Canadian government.
They opposed conscription and mili
tary service and demanded the right
of conducting their schools and re
ligious services as they pleased. In
consequence there was serious
trouble with the result that the
council of the leaders decided to
moves.
To date six train loads of the pe-
I culiar sect have reached Mexico. The
; others will be here by mid-summer.
I They will settle, as always in the
1 past, ’n communities. Each will
I have its leader, its minister and its
I school teacher. The youths will be
j kept separate and the elders will
i rule as they did in Canada.
I Mexican officials are very deeply
' interested in trie coming of the coi
; onists. They will repopulate val
' uable lands If they are not inter
i sered with. And they have agreed
: they will market all their produce
■ and surplus stock through this city
! thereby bringing prosperity back to
I a region that has been denuded
j ever since the Madero revolution.
j Just Between Ourselves
By Della E. Stewart
I Tact is such a lubricator of life,
j It’s amazing how hard !t is for
! some of us to use It. It’s the very
! shortest way between two points.
Also the easiest.
Two executives may Jiave exactly
the same degree of good will, but the
one who uses the hammering process
will fail to get the same results as
I the one who uses Huckleberry Finn
| tactics every time. One can some
times be scolded and forced or
' shamed into obedience and action,
I but the scolding and the forcing and
the shaming are apt to show out
plainly in the work done.
I But to be made to love what one
| does, to do it from sheer delight in
j the task and admiration and respect
I for the one who demands it, that’s
i a-very different matter. And it car.
j be thus accomplished, it is thus ac-
I complished, in many a busy man’..-
;factory and store.
i Tact in social relations —what a
i joy this is’ We may be absolutely
; sure that Mrs. A— would be a fail
i ure in some position and be per
I fectly aware of the shortcomings of
Mrs. B—’s husband or children. Bui
very seldom indeed is it necessary
to inform them personally. Tact
will get us around the dangerous
place—tact without deceit.
But most of all is tact needed in
family life. Its relations are so
close, its revelation so pitiless in
their revealing, its petty irritations
so frequent. That kindly tact wh’ch
is none else than thoughtful consid
eration of the other one’s viewpoint
will ease daily relations and avoid
conflicts, sweetening every-day life
unbelievably. Let's cultivate tact.

In Wool Market
BOSTON, May 9.—Active competition still
is in progress among dealers for the western
wool clips, and it is estimated prices today
had risen from 20 to 25 per dfent on the
ranges for territory wools since the flurry
of buying started. Fiae and medium wools,
which are in scant supply here, were active
today. Foreign markets were strong, with
advances recorded in some grades reaching
as much as 10 per cent from last week.
American buyers were prominent in many
of the foreign markets.

ADVICETOWOMEN
MOOT BMC PIS
BY MRS. CHRISTINE FRED
ERICK
(Copyright, 1922.)
NEW YORK.—You recall that in
one of the dear old fairy tales the
youngest son departed with his
“magic table” and that whenever he
wished a meal he set himself down
before it and said: “Table, table,
spread thyself;” at which the obe
dient and marvelous appliance in
stantly covered itself with all man
ner of delectable dishes and present
ed a ready-to-eat banquet at a mo
ment’s notice.
I am quite sure that the chief
point of the tale which astounds us
and commands our admiration is the
speed with which the meal was
brought about.Only a simple re
quest to “spread thyself” and, pres
to —abracadabara —dinner is ready!
What would not the modern house
wife give for such a magic solution
of her cooking and serving prob
lems? Is there no way she, too, can
lessen the time of pot-watching and
meal preparation?
Happily there is! If she but
choose, she can prepare many din
ners with almost identical legerde
main and repidity. In her case it
will not be a magic table, but a mag
ic pot in the shave of a “pressure
cooker.”
The most useful time and fuel sav
er is not a new piece of equipment;
the government has long known and
used it in its canning work, where
it remarkably cut down the time re
quired to sterilize food products. But
the homemaker is only beginning to
realize its benefits and the true mag
ic it brings to the cooking of many
foods.
There are several types of “pres
sure cookers” on the market—some
are square, some round, like the old
fashioned “iron pot” of our grand
mothers. But all are based on the
well-proved scientific fact that boil
ing water or steam under pressure is
hotter than boiling water in an open
pot. Temperature increases with
pressure, so say the wise men, and
to make their point they tells us
that:
Water boils at sea level atmos
pheric pressure at 212 degrees.
Water boils at 5 pounds steam
pressure at 227 degrees.
Water bolls at 10 pounds steam
pressure at 239 degrees.
Water boils at 20 pounds pressure
at 259 degrees.
In other words, the more pressure
you put on your water the hotter it
gets and the quicker it cooks.
