Germany and other European
countries are far ahead of the United
States in the matter of commercial
education. This point was brought
out in a speech before the annual
convention Of the National Associa-
ton of Credit Men at Cincinnati
The annual losses by reason OF
failures IN the United States amount
now TO some 5000, 900, 000," said Mt
Gashr, "or over 50 per capita. To

nual loss from bad debts equals one
half the estimate cost Of the Panama
Canal.
Professor Munsterberg of Harvard
University observes that a great diff
hculty Of our educational system has
been that It does not teach a man
TO find himself, and when he learns
his strong and his weak points his
real inClinations toward and qualifl-
cations for a pursuit in life, it is
usually too late

28-The capitalization Of Southern
cotton growers through the mortgage
bank system. giving them mortgage
loans at low interest with easy pay
meuts would completely rcorEanize
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.
If this Is done IL viii bring a new
era Of prosperity 90 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
Marketing Is Hurried.
The cotton crop has 20 be marketed
as soon as harvested. Farmers have
practically no control over the mar
keting. This is because they have no
financial independence. The Ameri-
can commission has studied the mort
gage systems which place European
farmers In 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 OF
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 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
era repay their loans in small annual
installments. So long az they meet
their interest payments they can new
rT be sold out Their entire payments
for both interest and principal amount
to less than our farmers frequently
are required to pay for interest alone
Cash Basis Possible.
II Southern farmers can get a de-
vice 10 act as their agent in borrow
ing and can capitalize their land
holdings on terms that will permit
them to repay little by liEtle. we can
put the cotton growing industry Of
the South on a cash basis This would
enable our farmers to buy on a cash
basis and secure financial independ-
euCe II would break the power of
the supply merchants. II would be
the surest way to a New South.
New South would mean prosperity to
the nation.
There is no theory In this PROPOSE
ton ] have studied these mortgage
systems here. They are straight
business enterprises that we Ameri-
cans can adoU' perhaus improv-
upon. The Legislature Of every State
in the Union should take this matter
under consideration.
When currency reform is enacted
In the United States this should form
part Of the program. Farmers never
up to this time had any considera-
ton whatsoever given their require
ments as borrowers. in currency or
banking legislation they have been
left to get along as well as they
could This has been largely respon-
sible for the financial positions OF the
Southern farmers to-day.

that the jobbers are on their annual

SALES
SHOW BUILDING
KEEPS Up WELL
Dealers in Supplies Tell of Big
Things in Prospect for the
Coming Autumn.

Dealers in lumber, brick, cement
plaster and building supplies report
that Atlanta is going straight ahead
in its expansion.
Unanimously they report good
trade. one particularly encouraging
feature, according to their express
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 I'm saying that
there are great plans in store fog
fall. II all rumOrs are to be believed,
property owners are contemplating
improvements at almost a boom"
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:
" II. Kriegshaber: "Our observa-
ton is that there is a good deal OF
building contemplated-in the wind,
50 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 # 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
TENDER. and quotations will be
stronger. This is the history OF ev-
cry year"
Wnlingham- Tiff Lumber Co.: Bus
mess has been quite brisk up to the
present time, with particular activity
In the erection Of small houses. This
looks to us like the right time to
build, for prices, in our opinion, are
at the bottom"
Sciple Sons: Business is fairly
good at the present time, and it is
picking up rapidly. We look for
very good trade for the rest of the
year The market Is steady, stiil
prices are reasonable and 1t is a good
time TO build, We notice a revival
particularly in the erection of small

The

She Found a Friend
In Need
By cLAR1ssA MAcKIB

The orchestra walled into silence as
the curtain dropped for the last time.
The audience rustled and chartered
and elbowed its way out amid the bang
Of chairs.
Behind the scenes the chorus girls
were sleepily discarding their gorgeous
raiment and slipping into commonplace
street clothes. By ones and rwos and
threes they disappeared down the mar
row, dimly lighted hall that led to the
street.
Last of all went Anne Shaw, new
girl with dragging feet. She was tired
and homesick and hungry, and the stage
manager had reprimanded her for the
listless manner of her dancing. She
would not receive her first weeks sal
airy for five long days, and her wretch
edly shabby little purse was empty. A
dreary hall bedroom at the top of three
flights confronted her.
How she hated it ALI But it was too
late now to retreat from the position
she had taken in defiance of the wishes
of her family. She was proud and had
assured them that she would come
back to them great actress. They
would wait and see.
This position in the chorus of new
musical comedy was the best she could
do after several weeks Of hard rehears-
ais, during which time she spent the
money she had managed to save from
her salary as bookkeeper in down
town warehouse.
When she opened the outer door the
fresh air revived her dropping spirits,
while at the same time 1t unfortunately
sharpened her healthy young appetite

Dancing Girls Are Married 70 Idols

Parrots are taught In India to spend
large portion Of their time in repeat

cially among business men, who i'm
agine that by owning such parrot
their spiritual treasures are accumu-

occupations.
Many of the dancing girls in India
belonging to the temples are called the
wives of the gods At an early age
they are united in wedlock to the i'm

formed In compliance with the wishes
Of the parents. who believe it to be

SPIRIT AND DRUG TAKERS.
Physical and Psychic Changes Thst

Physical and Psychic Changes That
Grow With the Habit.
Two marked changes are noted In all
spirit and drug takers. One of them Is
physical and is noted by changes In the
face, eyes, tone of voice, manner OF
walking and general expression and
control. The heart is irritable and de-
ranged in its action. There are muscu-
lar feebleness, nutrient disturbances,
with insomnia, and unusual emotional
excitement or depression. The general
health, conduct and appearance. as
well as capacity, Of the person are
changed.
A second change Of symptoms noted
Is the psychic one. The person Is bold,
assertive, egotistical or the opposite
His former manner Of hopefuIness or
depression is altered. Where he WIS
frank before he is now secret1ve, I'M
truthful, unreasoning, has little respect
for his words and statements, incurs
obligations, asserts or denies emphat-
ically matters Of no consequence His
general appearance and pride of char
acter are lowered
These symptoms may be unnoticed In
the early stages, but later they are
prominent. Both the physical and
psychic are intimately associated with
each other. yet from the very begin
ming there may be marked differences
In the prominence and intensity of
either one or the other, indicating the
direction of the most active degenera-
tion.-Dr T. D. Crothers In Alienist
