Reports from the official cotton graders of the Extension Service and the Bureau of Markets show a more uniform average price for cotton on the various markets than has been the case in previous weeks. Following are the average prices for strict middling and middling. Up Country Markets. Westminster, strict middling 20c; middling 19. York, strict middling 19.89.

The reports continue to show a strong and increasing disposition to hold cotton until market conditions tmnrnvp o FREHI9TORIC PUEBLO SURGERY. Among the interesting relics of a lost civilization recently brought to light at the Pueblo ruin at Aztec, New Mexico, where the American Museum of Natural History of New York is making excavations, is the skeleton of a twenty-years old girl from ^ bearing the evidences of a terrible injury and of primitive treatment. Earl H. Marria, in charge of the excavation, states that the remains, found on a floor in the ruin had been wrapt in three layers of material;, the 4 first, an excellently woven cotton cloth; the second, a mantle of feather cloth; and the third, a mat of i plaited rushes. The left hip was badi ly fractured, a portion of it having been broken away. In the neighbor^rncriAno rmm nthne Kroa I^a *vgiwuo biiv? c n Vi t Vkuvt w? vi**kw and dislocations. In addition, the left forearm showed two breaks and extreme displacement. Mr. Moorris is thus quoted in a press bulletin issued b ythe Museum (August:) "An least six splints surrounded the broken arms. The top two of these were removed to give a better view of the region beneath. Since it is to be assumed that there are two or three more splints hidden by the undisturbed earth beneath the bones, the probable total number is eight or nine. These splints are of woods, and average seven inches in length, one-half inch in width, and threesixteenths of an inch in thickness. They are of fairly uniform size throughout their length, being not mere splinters, but pieces of wood drest to the desired form. Each is ^ flat on its inner surface and curved on the outer side. All the bindings ^ which had held them in place were decayed beyond recognition. "From the condition of this skeleton the conclusion may be drawn Sat the treatment of the fracture of e pelvis, if it was recognized at all, was beyond the skill of the primitive surgeon. The treatment of the brok? i ?uuv., ? en arm, nowever, w?? wuum mo province. As death resulted before sufficient time had elapsed to permit healing to begin, the skill of the surgeon must remain in doubt "Desirable as it would be to know definitely whether or not there was an attempt to place the ends of the bones in apposition, in order that an estimate might be made of the skill of the surgeon, uncertainty in regard to this point does not detract from the major fact established, namely, that the Pueblo practitioner of the Stone Age had already learned to use splints in the treatment of fracture." o The Red Cross Button of 1921. Button, button, who's got the button? It's a button of Red, White and blue; With a cross of blood red Which always has led Wherever there's service to do. It's a button which shows that the wearer Would aid in the work, of mankind; Who has it? Who wears it? In your home how fares it? Just yow count how many you find! * 0, millions and millions should prize it? This nineteen and twenty and one!

It is also worth while from a business point of view, for the bride's father must give up a fistful of rubbles with the apple of his eye, and the husband may lay his hand ' on anything he sees and likes when he takes the girl to his own home. Yes, as a woman writing in the London Times agrees, it's lots of fun for everybody?except the old man. He, it seems, has to fork up everything in sight and smile as he does it. When this Englishwoman in Kovno was asked by her husband's soldierIservant, Charles (born in America, and proud of it,) if she woul like to attend the wedding, she said she ' would. It was suggested that she bori row a motor-car for the trip, and j quite casually she was told that the ceremony and festivities would last five days. She gasped, but caught her breath again. And Charles said: "Surely. On Saturday night is the first dance. My brother and his q1 friends dance all night at my father's tl house. His girl and her friends dance ^ at her father's. Then after the wed- t( ding we all go to the bride's fath- 8< er's house and dance and sing, eat j) and drink until Tuesday; then they c] come to our house and dance, etc., ^ until Thursday, and then they go to q their home." ' It I thought it was about time. C( We started off at the appointed time for Ezno. With me I took a sack- t( ful of white bread, which Charles in-<jr formed me was the best offering Ijc could give. During the journey Char-|Q les instructed me on what I should >jg do and what I should not do. Also N he told me about the betrothal cer-!^ emony. | I asked if the young man spoke first to the father. Charles was hor-l^ rifled. "The man must not speak one|W word to the father until the money i is fLxt.'? "Money?" "Of course. The|g( girl's father has to pay my brother;^' money." ' "The young man who falls in l?vel0] and wishes to be married," 'contin-j . ued Charles, "chooses an old married man (every man who iB mar- ^ ried is old;) to go with him to see D the girl's father. Dame (Jonas's ^ girl) lives close to our house. Well, e; at about ten o'clock one night Jonas | J the towels round their necks andj^ went home. Next day, Jonas went to's. see his girl and they arranged allijj about the wedding. |S( We soon arrrived at Ezno. A large w hill stood at the back of Charle's q father's farm. I climbed it during my o visit and saw the Polish frontier in e' the distance. Our car stopped in a front of a small house, that of Eva, la Charles's sister. Soon we had a crowd tl round us. Many of them had never d seen an Englishwoman in their lives, ai and I was much amused at hearing fi myself and clothing fully discussed, a Soon it was time for us to go to old h Mr. G 's (Charles's father's) a house. I was anxious to call at the a bride's house, but this was not allowed, as I was a friend of the bridegroom's family. The houses stood near each other, and from each could could be heard the singing, shouting, s< and music in the other. Mr. G d received me with great ceremony; he it J V. ViO whito hrp?d IT iwas ueugitieu i<.u ........ I had brought. I was led to the table u and made to eat and drink, and then \ I hid myself in a corner by the stove, r and watched them dancing the old e country dances and playing country 51 games until one o'clock, when I slip- E ped away to Eva's house and went s< to bed. S This was the program on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday i' nights, also during the days, with T frequent intervals for refreshments. F When any one felt tired he just sat down by a table, leaned his head on d it, and slept, or even lay on the floor Ii quite unconscious of the din about I a was bitterly disappointed next morn'^.g to find I was not allowed to go to church. The' bridegroom chooses one old man (i. e., married; in Jonas' A case an uncle aged twenty-five) and 5 6even young men. Jonas rode vith e these to Dame''s. I was allowed to go p with them, so I saw all the show. s, REPUBLICAN BY Bl Vote Being Pit O. P.

We never .. knock at doors in Lithuania. They ? had taken two bottles of vodka with n them. They went to the table in the center of the room and sat down at ^ it. Then Jonas's friend said to the _ father. 'Have you any hens to sell?" . land the old man said, 'No.' The friend e said, 'Soon your hen will be too old and no one will want to buy her.' When the father saw the vodka he said 'Yes.' | ? "Still Jonas must not speak, al- J5' though he saw Dame peeping from behind the stove; an dbe and she had m an understanding all by themselves. ir The friend then asked how much tc j money the father would give, and jr 1 the father said 'None.' And so they (talked for some time. Then Dame's (father said, 'I will give five thousand rubbles.' (Charles said this with ( much pride, as the sum, it appears, g. was large.) The friend bowed, and yi then Jonas could speak." (Whic'i he ^ did fast enough, I'm sure!) "Dame's mother came with a sauce-|ic pan and broke eggs into it and cook-1 ^ ed them and set them with bread up- n on the table. To the friend she said ( (not to Jonas, who had paid for the st vodka,) 'My eggs and bread and your gi vodka.' The friend called all the fam- jf ily round, and they ate. Dame's ei mother brought two towels and two handkerchiefs and gave one of each w tn Jonas and his friend. They tied D ughee throughout the East, the emocratic candidate and his chief < lanager conceded that in the "sol- < nn referendum" which President 1 filson declared would decide the ague of nations question, American ! aters had preferred Harding, who ] ivored "staying out.'' < Governor Cox, who was in his news < iper office when the concession of ! enator Harding's election was pub- i shed, said h ewould issue no state- : lent. Senator Harding at his home i Marion said he was '.'more given > God to make me capable of play- 1 ig my part" than he was to exulta- ' dn. I J! ??1^??? We found the bride seated by a. ible looking very solemn and sad. he was dressed in white, with a longl eil and a wreath of myrtle, round er were grouped seven young girls ad one old lady (a mischevious- ' joking girl not much older than ' erself.) Her father and mother sat ear Dame, and all their friends looking none the worse for their renuous nights' enjoyment) were < athered round. Jonas and his fol- i >wers (Charles was among them) atered and walked up to Dame. t "Come," he said. She flung herself eeping at her father's feet, in such a assion of tears that I thought her . eart would break. "Poor girl," I lid to myself; "they are forcing her uo this marriage." I felt bitterly | jrry for her and also for Jonas, but hen I glanced at him he seemed | uite unmoved. The weeping is part f the ceremony. Dame, and indeed yery Lithuanian bride, would earn fortune on the stage. The "elderly'' ; idy friend and the seven young ones len led the bride to the waiting roshkies outside, and they and Jon- i 3, his one "old" and seven young riends, all drove off to the church, i ,s they were leaving the father anded five thousand rubles to Jon- i s's old man. the sum agreed upon t the betrothal. o Teachers' Association Meets.

At the rate the Harding column was growing at that hour, the Republican plurality in the state of New york would be around the unprecelented figure of more than a million. New York city, normally Democratic, was going for Harding by at least half a million. The governorship fight continued close with Republican managers claiming the defeat of Governor Smith. Pennsylvania returns at that hour 3howed Harding leading Cox three to Dne and Senator Penrose elected. MaaaauiiuaeiLa n aa yiuuiiaiu& naiiing the greatest plurality ever given i presidential candidate in that state. Boston had gone for a Republican for the second time in its history, ind had given Harding a greater lead over Cox than it gave McKinley over| Bryan in 1896. Returns from half of, Vermont gave Harding a three to one, lery over Cox. Hughes beat Wilson Lw^to one there in 1916. In the home district of Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, Harding beat Cox 2 to 1. Maine reported Harding leading Cox by the largest plurality ever given to a presidential candidate, Ohio, one-fifth complete, showed a growing vote for Harding. Harding carried two wards in the city of Atlanta, Ga., and two parishes in the Louisiana sugar belt, both Democratic territories. In the New York senatorial race, Senator Wadsworth was leading his Democratic opponent, Lieutenant Governor Walker. Senator Brandegee Df Connecticut and Moses of New Hampshire, opponents of the league J of neations, both seemed certain of: re-election. The late closing of polls in the Western Btates, the difference in time long ballots and a greatly increased vote, were the cause of the late returns from the West. . I 1-orK.
