SMALL FARMS THE THING
We have long advocated the wisdom
of encouraging the owning of small
farms, for in that situation, we believe,
lies the greatest prosperity of the
country. And it is with pleasure we
note the tendency toward small farms.
Quite a number of our advertisers
have been real estate dealers, and a
striking thing about the offering of
the various agents for selling land is
that almost invariably the offer is
made: "Sold as^a whole or cut up into
small tract." Thus it frequently happens
that a large tract of land is sold
to a number of parties, each one having
the purpose in view of owning a
small farm and occupying it. The day
of the big landed estate is fast approaching
its close, we believe. The
mounting taxes, when applied to vast
tracts of land, will become more and
more burdensome to the owners, for
it is seldom such unimproved lands
give their owners any considerable
returns. It is going to be increasingly
difficult to hold lands that are not productive.
And it is going to be a blessing
to the country. Small farms, multiplied,
spell progress.

ANNETTE KELLERMAN
CALLS SWIMMING BEST
EXERCISE FOR WOMEN
Several million persons throughout
the world have seen Annette Kellerman,
the star of William Fox's
production beautiful, "A Daughter of
the Gods," now showing at the Rialto
Theater, perform her artistic swimming
feats in dramatic enterprises and
vaudeville. Throughout the world her
name stands for beauty, daring and
skill.
All women know of her as possessor
of the most perfect figure. But all
the beauties of her body are not natural

work, life in the open, life in the water
and close contact with nature produced
the splendid physical specimen known
as Annette Kellerman.
Miss Kellerman was born in Australia.
She was the frailest and most
delicate of infants. Her parents had
no hope of raising her. On the day of
her birth she was so tiny . that her
father placed her in an ordinary tin
quart pot and there was still room to
spare in the measure.
Naturally the childhood of such a
diminutive youngster kept her family
in constant dread. But nature provided
a remedy.
Mi ss Kellerman feels that the greatest
of all exercises is swimming. She
considers it the greatest muscle budded,
the finest nerve-building force and
the least dangerous of all sports.
Swimming she ranks as the best of all
nature's own mild stimulants and, for

At the age of 15 Miss Kellerman
set up new figures for swimming.
10 hours and 50 minutes. A few years
later she swam thirteen and one half
miles in the Thames in three hours
fifty-four minutes and sixteen seconds.
In the championship of France, an
eight mile swim in the Seine, she took
third after a thrilling neck-and-neck
contest.

I
New Orleans, July 27.?The reactionary
movement became pronounced
in the late trading, the distant months
being especially strong. Late in the
session March stood at 29.15 and the
list showed net gains of 10 to 45
points.
JNew urleans, July 27,?At the lowest
of the morning prices were 20 to
38 points off. The forecast of showery
weather in several states in the belt
caused some short covering and professional
traders began buying on the
view that the market was over sold.
Late in the morning something of a
recovery set in and the declines were
reduced to 3 to 25 points. Later positions
received more support than the
near, resulting in irregularity.
New York, July 27.?Later selling
in which the South continued a leader,
with further Wall street offerings and
local liquidation depressed the market
to 32.05 for October, 32.30 for December
and 29.60 for January or 25 to 453
points under last night's close. Liberal
covering developed at this level and
the market had a rally of about 20 to
25 points toward 1 o'clock.
New York, July 27.?At one time in
the early afternoon the market sold 5
to 8 points above the previous night,
mainly on further covering and a little
local bull support on the idea that today's
rains in the belt would prove bad
for the crop but the advice failed to
hold and by mid afternoon the market
was rather easy agaift with prices
from 8 to 16 points net lower, October
being 32.34, December 30.30 and January
29.77.
Liverpool, July 27.?Spot cotton in
fair demand; prices easier. Good
middling, 28.56; fully middling, 27.31;
middling, 26.06; low middling 22.26;
good ordinary 19.06; ordinary, 18.06.
Sales, 8,000 bales, including 7,100
American. Receipts, 3,000, including
500 American. Futures closed steady.
July 24.28; October, 22.62; January,
21.39; March 20.83; May 20.29.
New "York, July 27.?A renewal of
selling pressure from the South with
rumors of freer offers of spots and
selling by local and Wall street interests
caused another drop in cotton
prices early today. The opening was
steady with May five points higher and
other months 8 to 12 lower, after
which a general break occured, forcing
prices from 8 to 21 points under last
night with October off to 32.29, December
30.51 and January 29.73.
New Orleans, July 27.?After declines
of 8 to 20 points on the opening
call today the cotton market steadied
up on reports of the considerable rains
in the central belt and went 3 to 17
points higher than the close of yesterday.
The failure of the weather map
to confirm private reports of too much
rain and continued favorable crop reports
from Texas caused fresh selling
unde rwhich the market, at the end of
the first hour of business, broke to
levels 20 to 32 points under yesterday's
final prices. ' October traded a$
high as 31.(58 and as low as 31.28.
Washington, .July 27. Cotton exports
during the fiscal year
ended last June 30, exceeded those
in the >ear befcre by more than
1,500,000 bales, trade statistics issued
today by the department of Commerce
show. The figures were 6,915,408
bales, valued at $1,381,707,502 in 19291920
compared with 5,353,895 bales
worth $873,579,669 the previous year.
In June however, cotton exports were
only 241,449 hales compared wuh
690,169 ir. June of last year.

of one to 40 points.

credit strain and unfavorable indus

1 miscellaneous issues, were 2 to 5 |

New York, July 27.?The trend of
prices was downward again at the
opening of today's stock market.
Sentiment among traders and commission
houses with out of town connections
was bearish because of the
strained credit conditions. Crucible
steel, one of yesterday's weakest features,
recorded an initial loss of 1 3-4
points, and other active industrials
were lower by fractions to 1 point.
Oils were moderately supported however,
Royal Dutch gaining 1 point.
Rates of exchange on I^ndon were
slightly lower.
Chicago, July 27.?Heavy margin
calls resulting from yesterday's
