This reaction has once more re- < Tired a feeling or uueertaiiit.v and can tina regarding the immediate eoat'se of prices. M«b.v are pointing opt that in the past, a September advance hits seldom if ever held and also that, as tW crop is much later than last year, to? full force of the movement hns not 1 been fe't. They also claim that, the small stocks held by manufacturers ■ farced them into the market for Septem ber shipments to a much greater extent than normally and for that reason the of hedge selling was less this than is usually the case in early- September. Moreover it is felt by many picking wilt be Weill under way in the upiier Cent nil and lower Northern IVJt by . next week and this it is claimed will greatly increase the supply of hedges. As a consequence, we find the disposition of the majority is to stand aside and wait, devellopments. While there is much ty be said for the arguments as outlined above, still it may be well to examine closely the conditions of supply this year, as 00111- ared with previous seasons.' In the <t place the usual normal carry-over is lacking,. sfo\y this applies both toV mill .supplies ami to the unsold stocks iu ! the South. The result has been that the firpt million bnles of new cotton -has been takco off the pot- qn a (le clining market but on an adynnclng one. indicating that the producers are aot particularly pressed for ready dash and \yere quite rapable of marketing their first cotton at prices they considered satisfactory. Hence it must be admitted we will lack this year not ohly a good carry-over but in addition to thia n miMion hale- has im?sejl <>j; is in the. process ot passing to'consuming estah lisfinients- It would appear, therefore,- rather tmwise to assume as much pres sure is to y expected during the next two weeks or so ns was Witnessed list year. Moreover, when it is realized that tie crop does not appear to be-much 1 after than ten and a half• milllion hues, a million of wtlcli has already taken care of. it would seem that t|e coming receipts may not bn of as much influence on prices as normally. In Eng and. the eottou mill industry is showing signs of decided improve ment. The following, from ona of the Aiest Liverpool merchants, written i3der the of September 4th. Bates jutyd condqely the re-wid*? fa tty fa provemenj: ‘•Manchoster is more cheerfuf; •With high prices no large business can be expected but it appears that the stock* of Surplus yarns'have at last been ab sorbed and distressed lots no longer are available.” Iu other words, the greatest- com petition that Manchester has had to face for two years, the over production at high prices in 1020-21, which had dogged the English markets, has been removed. English buyers of yarns must now look to the manufacturer.tor their supplies where previously they have al ways held over tlie manufacturer s head the argument that if he did pot care to meet the buyer's price, there were many holding old unsold stocks who would do so. It is not difficult to visualize the psy chologic/! effect cn ti e Jsinoashire spin ner When be realizes that the value of the present . raw material will play the important role of price determination.

Large Results Achieved These larger resources have made possible large advances-"in every de partment of work fostered by South-’ era Baptists.

Hgga ® aco!-.a*tiy. nts BEOIN HfCRE TODAY Ned Cornet. bis fiancee, Lenore. and Bees, a seamstress, are sur vivors of a chips?reck. They take refuge on an island Inhabited by a man named Doomadorf and bis In dian wife. The master of the Island tells Ned and the girls that they must be his slaves. Lenore Is too weak to do any wprk so the burden falls entirely on the shoulders Os Bess and Ned. The prisoners build a cabin and Doomsdorf gives them an old stove. As soon as the cabin Is completed Ned and Bess are Informed that they are to learn to be trappers. Lenore Is allowed to remain with the squaw and help her With the housework. Bess and Ned ar* given separate routes. The sqnaw starts Bess on her way and xloomsdOrf instructs Ned. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY The dam Itself didn’t appear to be a natural formation of rock. It looked more like driftwood, but It was Inconceivable that mere drift could be plied In this ordered tray. “It must be a beaver dam." be said. “You’re right for once,” Doomsdorf agreed. "A big beaver weighs about SO pounds—and he's about the handiest boy to trap there Is. Tan’ll wonder what the purpose of these dams Is. As far as I can make out. simply to keep the water at one level. You know these little streams rise and fall like the tides. They’ve learned. In a few hundred thousand years of their development, that It doesn’t pay to build a nice house and then have the creek come up and wash it away and drown them out." Doomsdorf explained that a trap set op the house Itself so alarmed the animals that the entire colony was likely to desert the dam. Instead, the trpp was set Just below the sur face of the water at a landing—a place whew the beeves went ip and out Os the water. In the course, of their dally wprk. Doomsdorf still marched in his easy, swinging gait: and ever it was a harder fight to keep pace. Yet Ned dared not lag behind. His master’s temper was ever uncertain In these long, tired hours of afternoon. Tired out. weakened, aching In every muscle and not far from the absolute limit of exhaustion. Ned staggered to the cabin door at last. He had put out all the traps he had brought from the home cabin: thence his course lay along a blazed trail that skirted the edge of the narrow timber belt, over the ridge to the Forks cabin. Doomsdorf * entered, then in the half-light stood regard ing the younger man who had fol lowed him In. * Ned tried to stand erect. He must not yield to the almost irresistible Impulse to throw himself down on the floor and rest. He dared not risk Doomsdorf’s anger; how did he know what Instruments of torture the latter’s satanic ingenuity might contrive in this lonely cabin! Nor was his mood to be trusted tonight. His gray eyes shone with suppressed excitement: and likely enough he would be glad of an excuse, for some diversion to pass the hours pleasant ly. It was very lonely and strange out here. In the open. In the full sweep of the wind over the barren lands. But Ned wasn't aware of Dooms dorf's plans. Toe great blond stretched his arms, yawning, but toned his coat tighter about him, and turned to go. “I’ll seb you in about five days,” he remarked laconically. Ned wakened abruptly from bis ravery. “You mean—you aren’t go ing to show me anything more?" "I’ve shown you how to set your traps, for every kind of an animal.” Doomsdorf said. “You ought to be able to do the rest By the time you came around, well likely have frees lag weather—that means youH have .MARTIAL LAW REALTY IN OKLAHOMA STATE State-Wide Martial Law’ Took Definite Form Sunday Night I'pon Orders of Governor Walton. Oklahoma City, Sept. 10—State-wide martial law took a definite form tonight when Oklahoma City, leading, the way for the remainder of the state, passed under the virtually completed eoutrol of the military. . General orders embodying tiie essential regulations under which the state capital will live during the suspen sion of civil authority were issued by Lieutenant Conpleu W. S. Keys, in com mand of local tr.oops. With the exception of Oklahoma City, the entire state awaited the first evi dences of the coming of military rule, proclaimed by Governor .1. C. Walton (last night as the eJmjux to his fight on I the Ku Klux lylan. Hejre troops were [mobilized- police authority taken over hy | tlie national guard, and a set of regu i lotions governing the city was prepared by Lieutenant Colonel VT'lliam 8. Keys, |of We. wok*, commanding local troops. Kay Frazier, ebi>f of police, and Ed Slelseon, assistant chief, were deposed by an order of Lieutenant Colonel Keys, and Captain Nelson ,T. Moore, of the jllith supply company, of Tulsa, was placed in charge of the department, i Captain Moore is u police captain at .Tulsa. r . Approximately 300 troops are under [arms here touight. At an early hour none had left the armory except two ' men detailed to patrol duty at the cen tral police station. I Iji Hapulpa. county seat p.f'Creek coun ty, which,' with Oklahoma county, was placed under nyiitial law” In the proclamation issued last night by Govefhpt; Walton; fib evidence of AihHial rule had been seen after Vda.v of wait ing. Both the sheriff's ofllce and the police department wertf functioning nor mally and 'no 'troops bad'Mem njlffliftiaed. • 'l% "Mnskogre, recently a' eerrter’’ o? to thaw out your animats before you hkln them. "Here and here and bore"—he paused, to put In Ned’s bands a clasp bunting knife, nanor sharp, a ■man pocket bops to whet bis tools, and a light axe that bad been hang ing back of the stove—“are some things you'll need The time - will come when you’ll need snpwnhoe*. too. There’s a pair on the rafters. Now I’m going to tramp bock to tbe cabin to spend the night—ln more agreeable company.” For a moment the two men stood regarding each othpr in absolute silence. Then Doomsdorfs keen ears, eager for such sounds, caught the whisper of Ned’s troubled breath ing. Presently a leering smile flashed through the blond beard. "You mean—you and Leoorq will be alpiie—” Ned asked " You saw the squaw atari qut With Bess?" was the triumphant an swer. "But why should you care? It was Lenore’s own wish to stay. She'd take me and comfort any time, sooner than endure the cold with you. Os such stuff, my boy. are wo men made.” Ned’s face, lifeless and white *a a DOOMSDORF STRUCK HIM OFF. Stone, was no longer loose with ter ror. A desperate fury hqd brought him to the verge of madness. "That’s a fpul lie!” he shouted, reckless of Dpomsdorf’s retaliation. "She didn’t dream that you grouty do that— ’’ Doomsdorf struck him oft, hurting him against the wall; but it was not with the idea of Inflicting punish ment. ---' Ned could not speak, but Dooms dorf looked at him with the Are of a zealot in his eyes. "I don’t want anything that’s that easy,” he said with infinite contempt. "Sometimes the game Is harder- I take back something I Inferred a moment ago—that all' women would do the same. *The best of them, the most of them, still will go through hell for an idea; and thatfs the kind whose spirit Ja worth W-hile to break. Do you know any one who right now, likely enough. Is trudging along through this hellish snow with forty pounds of traps over her hock?” Ned shuddered, hurling off his doubt, believing yet Jn the fidelity of bis star. '“I don’t know, and I don’t care.” he answered. “That’s what Bess Gilbert Is do ing, and you know It. There, young man, is a woman worthy of my steel!" He turned and strode out the door. Ned was left to his thoughts and the still, small voices of the waste places, alone with thp wilderness night whose wood mis the master word of life, and with the” wind that sobbed unhappy secrets as tt swept Us cabin roof. Governor Walton’s auti-Ku Klux KlanJ campaign, the condition was the same. The national guard armory was deserted and the city was following its usual Sunday routine. Kingfisher and Caddo, counties, iu both of whieli the governor recently pushed investigations into the alleged mob out rages. likewise reported no evidence of the coming of the military. District Judge George W. Clark, of Oklahoma, City, in whose court a grand jury is scheduled to meet tomorrow, de clared today that the imposition of mili tary rule would not cause him to cancel the call. Special interest has attached to the grand jury seswion iu. view of the fact that it was called in response to peti tions charging Governor Walton with using state employes to cheek signature of an initial petition for an election on a constitutional amendment to grant the state legislature specific authority to convene without call by the governor. Such use of state employes, it wus charged ip the grand jury petition, in is violation of the law. The question of ;i special session of the legislature has been vexing administra tion leaders several months. Several members of the legislature have declared their belief that the body has authority to convey itself provided business other than law-making is considered. IVhen the agitation became more pro nounced last week Governor Walton is sued a warning to members of the leg islature not to attempt to hold an extra session, and threatened legislators witK jail “for the remainder of his term” if tbfJ ignored bis orders. Efforts today t(} communicate wjth leaders of the Ku KluX Kl«h failed. Not one could be located. Old-time arforx believed it very uni lucky, to sell’or give away any “prop” which tytd helped him tp suuccpss.
