After Early Rise of 50 Pomts,‘
Values Crash on Renewal of 1
Heavy Selling. ‘
N——— |
Si:w YORK, April 15.—~Fol
lowing an early upturn of 50
points, the cotton market slumped
sensationally during the early
forqnbon on a renewal of heavy
selling and withdrawal of de- \
mand. May fell from 31.16 to
30.00, while July dropped from
30.75 to 29.45 and October from
29.27 to 28.05. At the end of the
first hour’s trading, the market
showed a net loss of 66 to 93
«points.
NEW YORK, April 15.—~Much better
feeling prevailed at the opening of the
eotton market today, and first prices
were 2 to 40 points hlfihor. The &plen
did weather map, showing further heavy
and quite general rains over the South
west did not appear to affect the im
proved feeling in the market and at the
end of the first fifteen minutes prices
were about 83 to 51 points above the
close of Saturday.
A renewal of heavy selling set in at
the top levels and before the end of the
first half hour of trading the entire gain
had been wiped out, July falling to 30.20
and October to 28.80.

Who can forget that little brassy cry‘
that echoes the arrival of the new baby?
Before baby comes the mother should
get in condition to meet the crisis.
Thousands of women have used the
<afe and reliable application, Mother's
¥'riend, during the waiting months, and
they relate how they entirely escaped
nausea, nervousness, bearing down and
stretching pains and many other debil
isating and disheartening experiences
which so illy fit the mother for the
greatest time in a woman's life. |
Mother's Friend is a wonderful help to
nature in re]ievinzkltrain and distress
Lrought about by ®xpanding muscles.
The nerves, too, will be calm, making|
the period one of cheerful days and rest._ ‘
ful nights. The breasts are kept in
good condition and the abdominal mus
cles relax with ease when baby is born.
Mother’'s Friend makes it possible for
the expectant mother herself to actually |
aid nature in the glorious work to be
{:erformed, and no woman should neg
ect or fail to give nature a helping
hand. It will mean infinitely less pain
at the crisis. ‘
Mother's Friend {s for external use
only, is absolutely safe and wonderfully
etfective. It is prepared by the Brad
fleld Regulator Company. 1.-44 Lamar

GRAIN NOTES.
CHICAGO, April 15.—Traders have
become exceptionally bearish on corn
and oats. They see nothing but an ir
regularly lower price ahead. It is un
usual at this season for them to get
bearish, as the green grass is at hand
and the growing season has a tendency
to create conservatism on the buying
side. The demand for feedstuffs has
dropped off and prices slumped and
there is a feeling that the demand for
and consumption of corn and oats wili
fall off sharply within a short time.
A factor which attracts a great deal of
attention s the division of trade be
tween corn and oats, while recently it
was concentrated in oats. Holders of
oats are liquidating and find the buying
power reduced. The market is also
feeling the effects of increased hedging
pressure and reduced outside buying
and of the big break in cotton.—Herald.

Buy Liberty Bonds
By HENRY CLEWS.
To say that the Liberty
Loan will be an overwhelming
success is not sufficient. We
should be able to say that it
will be the greatest success on
record, and doubtiess it will
be; provided the campaign is
conducted with unremitting
vigor . About $400000,000 has
already been subscribed. Over
confidence, however, is ex
tremely dangerous; it is ener
vating, and tends to slack
ness.
Qur patriotism, our love of
justice and liberty, our ideals
of free government and our
belief in the right of small na
tions to live, will all vanish
like smoke unless we back
them with Liberty bonds.
No great ideals and no great
spiritual attainments can ever
be secured until we are pre
pared in some form to pay the
price. The whole country, and
especialiy‘our boys at the front
who are battling, not only for
these great ideals, but also for
themselves and their homes,
depend upcen those at home
backing the loan.

Boosters’ Tour To Be Step in Re
\ ' ' .
organization of Highway Com
‘ o
mission to Get U. S. Funds.
i Mty
~ The big good roads boosting tour of
leading members of the Georgia Au
tomobile Association, which is w{
leave Atlanta next Thursday for
Chattanooga, will form the initial step {
in a great State-wide movement to
stir still greater interest in good roads
development, with the view of ob-‘
taining the enactment by the Legisla
ture this summer of measures tha.tl
will bring about 1 complete reorgani
(zation of the State Highway Commis- l
sion to prevent the loss to Georgia of 1‘
its $2,000,000 share in the Federalj‘
-Government’s $85,000,000 road fund.
' Members of the association Monday
said that Georgia's yearly apportion
‘ment of the fund now nas reached
SBOO,OOO, and that the State has not
lreoeived one penny, owing to faulty
organization of the State Highway
Commission, which has failed to meet
the requirements of the Government
in the details of its formation. Unless
the Legislature this summer takes the
matter in hand and remedies the de- |
sects of organization, it was declared,
this entire sum shortly will be lost to
the State through time limitation.
And not only this, but the remainder
of the $2,000,000 of Georgia's share
will be lost in the same way. |
~ In order to save the situation, the
automobile association has deter
mined to wage an aggressive cam
paign in every part of the State, that |
the people may be acquainted with‘\
‘the facts and that the legislators may |
‘be aroused to the impeortance n({
prompt action, |
Several addresses have been planned |
‘ for the tour of this week at all princi
pal points along the two main routes
‘between Atlanta and Chattanoogu. |
The boosters will make the trip from |
Atlanta over the famous battlefieid
route, and will return by way of
Rome. Officials and other good roads
lenthusi;mts along the route have
planned a hearty reception for the
tourists, Thursday night will be spent
in Chattanooga, where a sumptuous
banquet will be served. The return
trip will bring the tourists back
through the army camp at Fort Ogles
thorpe,
Secretary V. D. L. Robinson, of the
Dixie Highway Association, will meet
the tourists at Dalton with a party of
Chattanoogans and escort them to the
Mountain City.:
Among those who will make the
tour are: W. Tom Winn, president of
the Georgia Automobile Association;
Oscar Mills, first vice president; Frank
Reynolds, secretary; Wiley West,
‘«'hairman of the executive commit
tee; T. G. Woolford, chairman of the
finance committee; Willlam Candler,
John Lockridge, George Watts, Fred
