Movement of New Crop u> Texas Will he WaclinJ by Bulls nud Bears. New Orleans, July 21.?The thief ntluenee lu the cotton market this week will pro baby be sentiment con* corning \ugust Condition report en tin- growing, The July condition pre* Itcted a in end Thursday, By that lav. private opinion regarding the percentage of coadttloa will begin to orm and by the end of the week some f the private crop reporting bureaus nay be >ut with their figures. Union weather conditions change greatly e.uring the few days left in his period the trade will expect a bullish report and possibly a loss In eondltlofl for the month. This Ig due to tbe damage done In he Eastern belt by too much rain. It s quite generally considered that the Texas crop needs rain but there are ew people who think the Texas crop has gone back for the lack of mois ure. although the absence of marked mprovement would work to hold lown the total average condition for he entire belt. Rains in the West his week and fair and warmer weather in the East might change opinion greatly, although most people now believe that there is too little time left in this period to bring about any great change from conditions as they now prevail. It is, of course, acknowledged that the weather up to Thursday of this week might have an important bearing on the progress of the crop after this date. The movement Of new crop cotton in Texas will be carefully watched by both bUlll and bears this week. Thus far. receipts have been very slight and most disappointing to the short side. The hulls have used the light move? ment as a telling argument to prove their contention that the Texas crop is still very late. Fnless the movement in Texa i picks up materially much bullish continent Will arise and new crop prices may be affected by it to some extent. BARAC'A-PHI Ii AT 11KA SOCTA L. One Hundred Fifty Young .Men and Women Spend Delightful Evening. The Baraca-Phllathes social, which was given at Mr. Rartow Walsh's on Kendrlck street Thursday eevnlng, was indeed a success. More than one hundred and fifty young men and Women attended, and from all appear? ances and from what the writer has ^eard since the social, every one pres? ent had a most delightful time. A committee from the two classes met each guest at the door, learned his or her name, wrote it on a slip of paper, and pinned the paper on the person. This was their intro? duction to the others. After everybody got acquainted with everybody, a musical program was given. Miss Dresser played a cornet solo and a mixed quartet sang several pieces, which were enjoyed by all. Mr. Ernest Rhatne, Jr.. was on hand with a telescope to give everybody an enlarged look at the moon, planets, and other heavenly bodies. This was indeed a treat. The unique plan for re-instating old members and enrolling new ones, which the Baraca and Phllathea classes ?.f the First Baptist Church of Burnt er have originated, and which you will hear more about later, was very successfully launched. Many old members were re-Instated and a number of young ?neu and women joined for the tirst time. This cam? paign win continue for four weeks after Which another social will he given. While the Rrsl part of the pro. gram was being enjoyed, a special committee was preparing the real treat of ihe evening. All at once, the whole back yard of Mr, Walsh's conveniently arranged home, was beautifully lighted and tables arrang? ed with nearly fifty sliced water? melons on them ready fo rthe eager crowd. When the young people gathered around the tables, enjoying the feasl to the fullest, it math- :i most beau? tiful and Inspiring picture. Buy young church people can't have a nice time? Join one of tim adult classes of the First Baptisl Church Kupnduy School and you will find out ithat they can. W. o. w. Moult .

SWOt SCHEMES SUCCESSFUL FRAUDS NETTED PROMOTER B MANY MILLIONS LAST YEAR, Publie Proves F.asy Murk in Fast Year ?hieb ?Ytoidgfl Richer Harvest TUaii Pre\ lous 12 Muntlis?Many Arrests Made. Washing tor.. July 21.?One hun- j dred and twenty million dollars was fraudulently gotten from the people during the last fiscal year by swind? lers who operated largely through the the United States mails, according to a report to Postmaster General Hitch? cock. This was an increase of about $50,000,000 over the previous year. Of those who are alleged to have operated the fraudulent schemes l.r 063 were arrested by postofflce inspec? tors. They include persons in all walks of life, merchants and mechttftj les, politicians and professional men., paupers and millionaires. During the year, which ended. June SO last, 452 persons were convicted and sentenced, and 571 cases, are awaiting final disposition. Postmaster General Hitchcock's order to inspectors to collect evidence that would warrant criminal prosecu? tion of the swindlers gradually is building a wall of protection against such frauds among the American peo? ple. Before that the punishment was only a fraud order forbidding the de? livery of mall to such operators who worried but little. They merely changed their names, addresses and title of their "business," continuing their operations until another fraud order caught up w?i.h them. The report says that theae fraud manipulators, who usually exploit bogus ndnes. fake remedies and worthless lands, constitute a distinct class of law-breakers. Among the wealthy offenders who have been caught by the inspectors are criminals who posed as respectable citisens. leaden Im titelt communities and' per? sonages in rhe highest social and bus? iness circle Some of them were millionaires, enriched by their plun? der. Some of these men are now serving prison sentences. THREE DEATHS FROM PfcAfiUE. Deaths Ropurted From Suburb* ot San. Juan or Unreported Caeas, one suspect Reported* San Juan. P. H..

Made Easy by Using the= ECONOMY JAR THIS is the only jar on the market that uses no rubber rings. Rubber rings in time becomes porous, decay, leak air, and frequently spoil the con? tents. Instead of a rubber ring the Economy has a pure, everlasting gasket attached to the cap and remains air tight forever. Food packed in these jars re? tain its original color and llavor, so that when an Economy Jar is opened years after, the food is just as fresh and lu cious as the day canned. One of the biggest things about this jar is the mouth, this is a great advantage in pre? serving whole fruit or vegetables. We handle other makes of jars, but we recognize the advantage of the Economy. Drop in and let us show you how this jar seals itself. If you haven't the time or incli? nation to do your own preserving, we have them already put up. Remember our Grocery phone, 337. O'Dosmell & Co.
