JORDAN THINKS
SOUTH IN NEED
Of LAND BANKS
Cheap Loans on European Model
Spell Financial independence
for Cotton Growers, He Says,
Special cabIe g The Amerlcan:

Special Cable TO The American.
BY COLONEL HARVlE JORDAN.
(Member of the American Farm
Credits Commission and President
of the Southern Cotton Association
OLDENBERG, GERMANY. Juno
2S.-The capitalization of Southern
cotton growers through the mortgage
bank system, giving them mortgage
loans at low interest with easy pay
ments, would completely reorganize
the cotton growing industry of the
South. ! am convinced that the land
mortgage business in America can be
systematized along the lines Of SINH
lar mortgage systems in Europe.
II this is done it will bring a new
era Of prosperity to the South and
greatly increase the cash returns
from cotton, which now represent
practically the entire balance Of trade
Of the United States
Southern cotton growers to-day are
just one year behind financially They
have been behind since the Civil War
The curse of the cotton farmers Is
the store lien system, under which
they are Obliged each spring to pur-
chase their supplies on credit from
the supply merchants Frequently
farmers pay so per cent or more in
excess Of the cash price Of goods for
the privilege Of this credit More
over, the supply merchants secure
absolute control over the farmers
The cotton crop has to be marketed
as soon as harvested. Farmers have
practically no control over the mar
ketinga This is because they have no
financial independence. The Ameri-
can commission has studied the mort
gage systems which place European
farmers i'm far stronger positions as
borrowers than our own farmers. In
America we still are Clinging to the
antiquated practice Of forcing short
time loans on the agriculturist
European farmers borrow through
an Intermediary society and enjoy as
strong positions as any railroad or
municipality. If our Southern farm
ers mortgage their land they must
pay back the entire principal in lump
sum In a few years, else pay a costly
commission for renewal. So long as
this Is true naturally the farmers
won't mortgage their land until ac-
tually pressed to the wall.
In contrast to this European farm
ers repay their loans in small annual
installments So long as they meet
their interest payments they can new
er be sod out Their entire payments
for both interest and principal amount
to less than our farmers frequently
are required to pay for interest alone

Things in Prospect for the
Coming Autumn,

Dealers in lumber brick, cement
plaster and building supplies report
that Atlanta is going straight ahead
in it's expansion,
Unanimously they report good
trade. one particularly encouraging
feature, according to their expires
sions, is the steady increase in the
number of small residences, homes
costing between $4,000 and $4,000
seeming to predominant.
Furthermore. building supplies
dealers are unanimous in saying that
there are great plans in store for

property owners are contemplating

rate as soon as summer is past.
Paint dealers also are cheerful
They report contractors figuring on
work far ahead, and also general ac-
tivity in refurnishing buildings which
are not new. BUT which are being re-
modelled to meet the city's growing
needs.
Expressions from dealers in these
lines follow:
V. H. Kriegshaber: our observa
ton is that there is a good deal of
building contemplated-in the wind
so to speak. When conditions settle
down this fall, We look for an excel
lent trade IN building supplies"
Randall Bros: our, business is
better than it ever has been in lum-
Der and building material. The in
crease has come from the increase
in medium priced houses, residences
to cost between $4,000 and $4,000
1T is hard to tell about the fall
but we look for a good trade. Prices
are a little lower This always is
the case in June and July. There
will be a reaction in August and Sep

one creation for instance, is

the back, and button hole stitched

retail from $3.50 to $3.50.
The Trooper shape is proper To

Of the hand lengthwise. That's all.
Another creation particularly
fetching is blue, with red, white and
blue stitching which runs up and
down the crown and around and
around the brim. A button is in the
geometrical center Of the crown.
Perhaps the best Of the bunch, to
many tastes, is a green felt hat

zebra" finish. zebra" finish means
that il is 'self-striped Alternate
stripes are smooth the others are
unfinished fuzzy, In a word. The
stripes are something less than half
an inch wide, and run vertically on
the crown. The hat really is not

that the derby crowns will be a bit

Doz1er & Gay: From the number
of contractors who are figuring on

Every indication is that a large

and there are rumors Of several large

That's the question every wise
merchant mostly considers in select
ing his shoe market.

gia, to the merchants of the South:
Ist. The quickest and most con-
venient service. Our mail order

stock. 1t eliminates any aCCumula-
ton of dead styles, and our near
ness to you means quite a saving in

end. RED SEAL Shoes are the
best advertised in the South. Buy
ing a we'll advertised line is the next
thing to buying a well-established
business.
grid. Style and Values. 1t would
be easy to say right here they're the
best in the world" Any manufac-
turer can and most of them do mod
estly claim that about their goods.
1t doesn't prove anything We sim
ply invite comparison on style,
quality and value between RED
SEAL Shoes and any competitive
line on the market.
Thousands of money-making
Red Seal dealers and millions of
satisfied wearers make us confident
of your verdict.

teal A clever woman viii purchase
her stockings a size larger than neces-
sary and viii find they viii give better
service.
Many stockings are shown in vivid
colors to match the slippers or to be
worn with black pumps. A new idea in
hosiery is the accordian pleated ribbed
hose. This is ribbed in black and
white, or black with any contrasting
shades.
Open work stockings vie in popularity
with embroidered stockings. The black
stockings have black clocks in the in
step and the white are embroidered
with similarly white clocks, much as
was the fashion OF Olden times.
Lace insertions and medallions are
inserted by hand in silk stockings. If
one is deft with the needle many odd
moments can be used to advantage in
embroidering stockings.
An oddly shown at an exclusive
shop was a net stocking Of silk cord
that produced, n mermaid effect when
worn over a plain silk stocking Of con-
trasting color.

ORIGIN OF A POPULAR DOG
Ancestors Of the Scottish Terrier Were
Used by the "Todhunters" Of
the Highlands.

In ancient times each district in the
Highlands had its ''todhunter,' whose
duty it was to see carefully that the
then fourishing firm Of fox, otter and
company did not do a too fOurishing
business in lamb or poultry. Some
times these todhunters were Of the
laird's men," sometimes they were
farmers and grazers; but always they
were local dignitaries. There was hon
or and considerable profit in their Of
fee, and in time it came to be more
or less hereditary. Their duty was
simple They waged a war of exter-
mination against the vermin, which,
however. was a very different matter
from the good old English sport OF
fox hunting.
In the rough country horse and
hound would have been worse than
useless, and reynard made his den
in such rocky ground that he could
not be dug out. The sole solution was
a dog small enough to follow the fox,
OF otter, OF badger, OF wildcat into his
lair; strong enough 10 bring him out
dead OF alive; and game enough to do
both. A dog developed from this ne
cessity, and that dog was the ancestor
Of the present-day Scottish terrier
Outing.
