PLAN FEDERAL HELP
FOR COTTON GROWERS
Congressman Consider Means to Pro-
vide for Financing Crop
During War.

Washington, Aug. 10.-Complete
revolution in the methods of cotton
marketing was proposed today as a
means of relief from depression
threatened by the closing of foreign
markets during European War. The
plan was laid before the house Agri-
cultural Committee by experts of the
Department of Agriculture 1t con-
templates government supervision of
marketing, federal standardization of
grades and establishment of a system
of warehousing to make baled cotton
a solid basis for credit to growers and
enable them to finance their crops un-
til advantageous arrangements can be
made for marketing it.
c. j. Brand, chief of the Division
of Markets, suggested the scheme be
put in operation through the Lever
cotton grades bill, now before the
house committee This bill provides
for federal supervision of cotton grad

for cotton.
Mr.. Brand suggested amendments
to enable the government to license
cotton warehouses. where the crop
could be stored. Under such condi-
tions, he said, the new federal Reserve
Board would be, able to make cotton
in the warehouse the basis of ample
credit to growers.
The committee tomorrow will hear
cotton men of the South on the pro-
posed scheme and will ask them for
suggestions. f. j. Watson, commits
sioner of agriculture of South Caro-
lima, today began organization of a
committee of growers and manufac-
turers to present the views of the
Southern cotton men.
Among those who attended the
hearing today were: w. G. Turner,
James F. Hunter and VIM. f. Love
of Memphis, Tenn, j w. Culver of

ARK ANSAS BANK
ERS TO GO TO WASHINGTON

Little Rock, Aug. 10.-Geo. w.
Rogers. president of the Arkansas
Bankers Association, and cashier of
the Bank of Commerce of Little Rock,
accompanied by George Russ Brown,
secretary of the Little Rock Board
of Trade, will leave Friday for Wash
ington, d. c. to participate in the
gathering of Southern bankers to con-
slider the cotton question.
"The difference between and 16
cent cotton" says Mr. Rogers, "is
greater in Arkansas than the capital
stock and surplus of all the banks in
the state. That shows what an item
this is to Arkansas, and we must
save to the state the difference be-
tween the actual worth of the cotton
and the price that~will be obtained
for it if the government does not
come to our assistance. The bank
ers from all over the south will meet
in Washington Monday. We do not
go to work out something for the
banker but for the South. We have
not even a suggestion to make at
this time, and we have no plans about
the manner in which the convention
should proceed. We are assisting the
farmer, and will work hand in hand
with the Farmers Union to solve this
question, but solve it we must or the
South will loose millions of dollars
this year. We have assurances from
all Arkansas congressman that they
are with us in this matter"

(Tuesday).-The lull in the fighting

to be the lull before the storm. There
is little doubt that an engagement on

German soldiers, who have become

For the most part they are cavalry

red Germans were captured last night
in this way.

The Germans have destroyed the

King George has sent message to
King Albert of Belgium, congratu-

Albert must be proud.
The Independence Beige says that
the S9th German grenadier regiment,
of which King Albert is honorary

The nEun.Sun" Box,

In q home where there are three
children, the problem of amusement
on rainy days was to be considered.
A large box was covered with green
denim, and the words "Fun-Sun" stem
ciled on 1t. This was placed In the
nursery Into this box went rejuve-
mated toys, pictures, anything thrown
aside and mended. or unusual scraps.
From time to time the children them
selves bought from their allowances
some little thing for the box. 1t was
opened only on rainy days or in Ill
ness. Last year their father added
three jig-saWs and several strips Of
thin board. 1t is treat for the chill
dren to open this box, for there are
always some new things in It. Now
rainy days have no terror for the chill
dren, who turn contentedly to the

MAUvE WITH CHIFFON
CALLING COSTUME THAT is IN
HEIGHT OF FASHION.
Most Effective of the Combinations So
Popular This Season-Effective
Touches Give Distinction to
the Model Sketched.

Satins Of subdued luster with fur to
give them the appearance of weight
and warmth, and lace or chiffon to
soften the effect, are as satisfactory
for calling costumes as anything seen
in the winter collection, and the
sketch offers an effective suggestion.
In the original, two shades of mauve
are used with chiffon in a deeper
shade than the charmeuse. The
charmeuse skirt is gathered slightly
at the waist and then draped attrac-
lively just above the knees in front by
means Of what is known as lifted
drapery." In the blouse the char
meuse Is only used in f1ve-inch band
running about the lower part of the
white net foundation just over the
belt. This is yelled by the overblouse
Of chiffon, which is simply made with
three-quarterlength kimono sleeves
and roundabout neck filled in by the
net yoke of the foundation.

A girdle Of black chiffon is crushed
about the waist, and the sash ends are
tied in a bow at the hem of the tunic

and at the lower edge and given a
heading Of itself as finish. Another
