MARKET REPORTS
NEW TORK COTTON MARKET
New York. Dec. 24 The interest
: of the cotton trade centered on near
months in the cotton market at the
, opening today. It was the last De
cember notice day and trading in that
, delivery ended at noon. At tho start
there was evidently a disposition to
wait for a better line on the final ad
justment of the ppot month interest.
I The notices issued were estimated at
1 between 5.000 and 6,000 bales and
December opened at 30.25, or 17 points
net lower while later months were 4
1 to 7 points hither. It seemed, howr
ever, that December notices were be
!intf Stopped with that delivery selling
I up to 30.45, ,or 3 points above Satur
day's close. - Later months firmed up
in sympathy, selliner about 7 to 13
points net higher with January touch
ing 29.75 and March 29.27 or covering
and trade buying.
CHICAGO GRAIN.
Chicago, Dec. 24. Forecasts of
much colder weather had a bullish
' effect today on corn. Opening prices
' which ranged from 1-8 to 5-9c higher
with January 1.25 and May 1.24 to
i 18, were followed by a slight addi
; tional upturn.
Oats showed sympathy with the ad
i vnce in corn.
; Announcement of huge g-overn-!
ment contracts having been let to
. packing houses gave strength to pro
! visions. Moreover, the arrivals of
' hogs were less plentiful than had been
expected.

WHEN YOUR NEIGHBOR 18 YOUR
ENEMY.
1 It yon had reason to believe that
your neighbor -was an alien enemy ipy
and might rise up In the night and
burn your home while you slept you
would take prompt and effective steps
! to protect yourself, says a writer In
' the Southern Construction News. How
' many people concern themselves se
riously, as to whether or not their
neighbor may be responsible for a fire
! that will wipe out house and home
over night? And what's the dlffer-
ence In the loss of property, or possi-
1 We life, whether the neighbor It real
ily an enemy or a careless friend. If
your neighbor is harboring a defective
flue, trash-ridden attic closets or col
lar; If Ills electric wires or stoves are
so Installed as to endanger the wood
work or If hla family or servants han
dle gasoline or oily rags either Ig
norantly or carelessly so as to In
vite flrvdisastar--lf your neighbor Is
doing any of these things or others
equally careless or dangerous lu your
move. In matter of fire-protection It
is strikingly true that "no man Uveta
to himself alone." Our only safety
lies In public sentiment awakened
through education.
1 Stamp out the Red Plague.
Washington,. Dec. 2 4.The Wash
ington correspondent of the New Tork
Herald sends., his paper tho following:
"Frank A. Vanderlip, president of
the National City Kank, of New York
city and chairman of the War Savings
Certificates Committee, is under con
sideration as railroad administrator to
put into effect the war time railroad
scheme now being worked out by
President Wilson. His name is being
mentioned because, as a financier, he
would bo able to give invaluable as
sistance o the railroads in their pres
ent difficulties.
"The mention of Mr. Vanderllp's
name adds another to he list of possi
bilities, who -are -to date William G.
McAdoo. Secretary of the Treasury;
Frank K. Lane, Secretary of the In
terior; and John Skelton Williams.
Controller of the Currency. AH of
these men are regarded as having
special qualifications for so important
a work as the direction of the rail
roads during the war. to remove the
present obstacles in the way of their
progiss and for their complete unifi
cation and operation as a continental
system.
"Consequently, it is said, the Presi
dent wants an opportunity to make a
striking example of this attitude, in
the selection of a republican for some
important national position. Ia the ap
pointment of Mr. Vanderlip. it is
agreed, there would be an opportunity
to make such a demonstration. Mr.
Vanderlip is a republican. His ability
as a financier has been tested not only
as the working head of, the largest
banking institution in the country, but
also as an Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury during llie first McKJnley
administration. He has therefore, the
national view with regard to financing
as well as that of the railroad execu
tives themselves, through his associa
tion with them.
"Mr. Vanderlip for a long time has
been intensely interested in the rail
road situation, and has some very well
defined ideas as to how they should be
operated for the bent interests of the
government and all concerned, not
only during the war. but afterward,
He has developed ft scheme, the detail
of which have been printed in the
Herald, by which the railroads could
be nationalized and operated by dis
tricts similar to the Federal Reserve
districts.

DINGER FROM OPEN FIRES
Washington, Dec. 24. Reports to
the Red Cross today on results of its
campaign for 10,000,000 new members
showed some divisions had exceeded
their quotas and others were ap
proaching figures set for them. The
central division which voluntarily
raised its quota from 1,189.000 to 1,
500,000 expects to exceed the higher
figures and the gulf division compris
ing Alabama Louisiana and Missis
sippi had gone several thousands over
its quota. Oregon has gone 28,000
over its quota notwithstanding bad
weather which has been the cause of
extending the time limit to the end of
the week in special divisions.
Pennsylvania today was within 92,-
000 of its quota of 1,192,000, and the
Pacific division lacked 34,000 of the
487,000 expected. Reports from the
Potomao division indicates much hard
work will be necessary there if the
quota of 358,010 is reached.

Amsterdam, Dec. 24. Vorwaerts,
the socialist organ, reported to have
been ordered to suspend publication
for three days, appeared unexpectedly
Sunday. It says its supension was due
to criticism of the provisioning of war
invalids under tho headline;
"Let them go beg."
The Vorwaerts prints prominently
a defense of Herr von Waldow, the
food controller. It quotes him as deny
ing having excused tor tolerated cer
tain conditions alleged, but as admit
ting that illicit trading has assumed
proportions which threaten to endang
er the food supply.
Sharpening Shears.
When scissors get blunt, sharpen

The open fireplace la responsible for
a pretty fair share pt the preventable
Are waster of our Stnte and of the losa
of life by fire. During the year 1818,
over $10,000 damage was caused by
this menace, and from present tndlcar
tions the lost from this cause will be
much larger In 1917. Statistic are
not available for showing how many
deaths were chargeable to the opea
grate In 1916, but the number la con
siderable. Many farm houses have large fire
places In which the smaller logi and
other wood found about the farm are
burned. Due to the shortage of coal
this year, the use of wood for fuel will
be even more general. Wood, when
burning, has a tendency to pop and
throw sparks In every direction, on
entlmes these flaming particles of
wood are conveyed to surrounding In
flammatory material, and fire results.
Then there Is always the possibility
that children, playing about the open
frre, may get so close to the flame that
clothes are Ignited, and the loss of life
or serious Injury Is likely tc result.
To conform to all the rules of safety,
open fireplaces should be provided j
with good substantial metal screens,
which should be arranged so as to
encircle the exposed portion of the
fireplace. In addition to the screen,
extra precautions should also be taken
to see that a brick flooring extends a
sufficient distance away from the
grate so that any burning wood which
may fall from thj fireplace will do no
damage.
