CAPACITY IS LARGE.

Mr.. Hanson stated yesterday
that ii desired his company could
handle all the cotton the farmers
of the South might desire to hold,
as, he said, when the business
grew he would see that the ware
house facilities Of his companies
were expanded to meet every re-
quirement.
The American Bonding Com
pany has assets amounting to
slightly more than S1,750, 600,
and its unadjusted claims yes
terday amounted to just about
$50, 900 all told. The standing
of the company is such that ware
house receipts guaranteed by it
will be readily accepted on col
lateral by eastern banks. In
speaking of the newly launched
plan Mr.. Durant, of the bonding
company, said yesterday:
"The great difficulty in the
past has been to secure a ware
house receipt negotiable outside
of the town or city where it wa9
issued. This has been hereto
fore an nsurmountable task on
account of the complications a.
rising out of the warehouse end
of it. But now my company,
which has the strength and
standing to guarantee receipts,
has agreed to do so in the case
of two companies Of great mag
nitude who are capable of hand
ling the cotton storage business

their capacity TO carry cotton
securities because they cannot
discount these securities in the
east. They have to carry every
one of them individually. But

by my company can be dis

The most common cause of coughing is
a cold. Anodynes viii promptly sup

used for that purpose, but they do not

suppress the cough, but relieves it by

| For several days IL mas D6eH
whispered that there was "some-
thing doing" in the cotton world
that, while in the nature Of a
trust, would be of inestimable
| benefit 10 the cotton growers
throughout the country. 1t has
come to light and while The
Commercial has not had time to
inspect the scheme closely it
seems to merit the support of the
public.
Bearing upon the subject the
Atlanta Constitution says:
What has been termed a solu-
ton of the cotton situation was
yesterday announced by G. c.
Hanson, president of the Atlantic
Compress Company and the Gulf
Compress Company.
The plan, in a word, consists
of the bonding company's guar
anty of every ware house re-
ceipt issued by either of the two
companies headed by Mr.. Han
son. The leading bankers, east
and south, have stated that their
receipts, so guaranteed would be
generally accepted everywhere
as collateral for loans at from 4
to 6 per cent.
The cost of the guaranty to the
owner of cotton is about 3 cents
bale or a scarcely appreciable
addition to the already moderate
ware house charges existing
throughout the south. 1t is gen.
orally believed by those to whom
the plan has been unfolded that
in it has been found the most
practical means of enabling
farmers to borrow money cheap
ly and quickly on whatever cot
ton they desire to hold.
The first request for a guaran-
teed receipt came to Mr.. Hanson
a week ago yesterday, but two
years ago the boards Of directors
of his companies, foreseeing such
conditions as now exist, adopted
a resolution authorizing him to
act on his personal authority.
As soon as possible he held a
conference with Mr.. E. NJ. Du-
rant, who represents the Ameri-
can Bonding Company in this
territory. The contract between
the ware house companies was
closed last Monday and an
nounced yesterday, statement
accompanying the announcement
to the effect that the companies
now stood ready to issue these
generally negotiable receipts.
The ware houses at present op-
Grated by the Atlantic and Gulf
Compress Companies are in the
following cities, there being a
number of warehouses in most of
the cities:
Atlanta, Ca, Macon, Ca,
Americus, Ca, Dawson, Ca,

RELATION OF FORESTS TO
HUMIDITY OF CLIMATE
San Francisco Chronicle
San Francisco Chronicle

Whether forests have an important influence upon
climate is an old question which has not yet been salts
factorily settled, says the August bulletin of the Ameri-
can Geographical Society. DIR. Hennig gave an address
on the subject before the May meeting in Berlin of the
German Meteorological Society, in which he claimed only
ing out of soils to a considerable extent, and adduced a
number of concidents where the depletion of the forests
appears to be attended by drier conditions. According
to Consul General Gunther of Frankfort. who has sum
married. the address for the consular reports, DR.. Hennig
said that the climate of Greece, where today only 16 per
cent of the area is covered with forests, has become
drer. An increase of temperature and decrease of rain
are noted, as compared with ancient times. This is es-
pecially noteworthy in Attica, which was thickly covered
with forests about 5000 years ago, and where hardly any
degree of intensity that would make the indulgence OF
athletic soprts, once famous. now almost an impossible
ity.
Similar conditions exist in the peninsula Of Sinai,
where thousands of years ago the people of Israel found
a luxuriant and fertile country, though today it is a des-
ent, Palmyra, also once a Furnishing oasis in the Syrian
desert, presents today only a waste of stones and ruins.
In Mexico, where the Spaniards cut down the forests in
the mountains, droughts changing to devastating floods
are now noticeable, especially in the neighborhood of
the City of Mexico. In Algeria where, since the middle
of the last century, the forests have been cut down on
a large scale, dry weather has increased; and in Vene
zuela the level of Lake TacaTigua, to which Alexander
Won Humboldt drew attention, has been lowered in con
sequence, it is said, of deforestation.

HAPPY LITTLE ARMY On
ITS WAY TO SCHOOL AGAIN
BY Frank p. Adams
BY Frank P. Adams

O banpy little army on your way to school again,
Armed with reader and arithmetic, with bIotter and with
pen;
Your hearts are light, your minds are bright, your lots
from work free
Save from a task as difficult as spelling CAT.
You'n learn among some other things that two and two
are four;
That twelve is called a dozen and that twenty is a
score:
How many pounds are in a ton and pennies in a dime;
How many hours in a day chow many years in Time!)
Your copy books will say, Great oaks from Little Ac-
orns Grow"
You'll learn how very wrong it is to say 81 amt got
no."
You'll learn how great Columbus was who found this
pleasant land,
Though why the earth is round, perhaps you may not
understand;
You'll learn your country's father was the brave and
truthful George
Though he got cold feet one winter when he camped at
Valley Forge;
You1 learn about the battles, though you may forget
the dates;
That rice and cotton are the exports of the Southern
states.
If you would be good children, and obedient and nice,
You'd better do the things I say and take my good ad-
vice;
Don't go with vulgar fractions, they are naughty and
low down;
And if you would be proper don't go with a common
noun;
And try to be impersonal, but do not be an IT."
And don't allow infinitives to ever do the split;
Be lovely to your teacher; she knows what she is at;
Remember she gets sixty bones a month for doing that.

When ali you girls are women and all you boys are men,
viii your lessons be a pleasure, or will you sit and pout,
And anxiously be waiting for your life school to be out?

so
To your last and long vacation? May God grant that it

And make you noble women and true and loving men,

WILKINSON IN ROLE
OF CHECK CRATER
Out of Twelve Missing Checks
From COmpany'S Book
One Shows Up.
HE IS AIDED BY A WOMAN

Late adyiccs are to the effect that
c. NJ. wilkinson, who was a defaulter
as MANAGE for the II. Massey Cigar
company t0 the extent of between
$4,000 and $4,000, and who left the
city between two suns, three weeks
ago, is again at his old tricks in Ark.
ansas. and that the American Bankers
%associatiOu is now taking a hand in
the chase that may soon land him be-
hind the bars.
The officers of the r. Massey Cigar
company are reticent about anything
pertaining TO the erstwhile manager
of the company and the company's
bankers are also non-commital, but it
is a well established fact that several
checks for large amounts from Mr..
Wilkinsou's managerial pen have been
cashed by banks in Arkansas and
have been sent here for collection.
One check was for 800 and another
is said to have been for $40. Mr.. Will
kinson is aided in his work by a
woman, or at least a woman worked
the Arkansas bankers for the 500
check.
Another proof that the former man
ager of the r. Massey Cigar company
is using the company's checks to
graft u~nsuspecting bank cashiers and
that he intended to when he lett here,
is that a dozen blank checks are miss
ing from the back Of the company's
check book.
