CREDITOR OF DEFUNcT BANK

John Shields of Grand Junction has
filed suit in the United States district
court at Montrose against John ]. To-
bni as receiver of the Mesa County
National bank, for the sum of S5,O5S. .33
which he claims is due him on account
of a note which the bank collected for
him, the proceeds of which were never
credited to his account Orson Adams.
president of the defunct bank. was ar.
rested several weeks ago on charge of
having unlawfully embezzled this mon
ey and appropriated it to his own use.
The question at issue in this suit
seems to be as to whether the bank
or Mr.. Adams personally is respons-
ible for the failure to properly credit
Mr.. Shields for the money collected
The collection was made through an
out of town bank and the proceeds
were sent to the First National bank
OF Denver and there placed to the
credit of the Mesa County National
bank.
All trace of this money ends at this
point and l.. l.. Morrison attorney for
Mr.. Shields, contends that it is up to
the receiver of the bank to prove that
Mr.. Adams took the money unlawfully,
if he wishes to relieve the bank of re-
sponsibility in the matter-Grand

Jap Spinnen See the Point

1t is reported IN the New York
cotton trade that the Japanese
Government through its banking
agencies have conveyed the in
formation that Japan during the
fall and winter will take two
million bales Of American cotton
and is willing to pay 9 IL cents
a pound or better. Ordinarily
Japan buys about half million
bales of American cotton and a
million and half bales from
other countries, principally China
and India, 1t expects that not
only will its normal supply
from these sources be greatly re-
duced but that it can and should
buy much more cotton to fill the
big gap made by war in the Far
Eastern piece goods trade. 1t
feels itself in d position to take
full advantage Of the opportuni-
tv. because the trade which sew
eral other countries have been
supplying il still there. OF
course this trade is there for us,
too. Even in our state of un-
preparedness, and with due re-
gard to the recognized fact that
Latin-Americl calls for our prin-
cipal efforts, we should get some.
But the main point is that in a
world where only an inSignif-
cant proportion of people now
20 naked and where existing
supplies Of cotton goods are
scant. cotton must still be spun.
And while spindles in commits,
sion increasingly make up for

Legacy To State tuberculosis
SanatOrium

A good woman living in the
western part of the state suffer
ed and died with tuberculosis.
She was not woman of large
means. But she had a heart
and soul, as well as Tuberculos-
is. She sympathized with those
afflicted whit. ltnaturally fol
lowed that she wanted to help
them. A fter providing for her
relatives and those who had been
kind and helpful to her, she left
the residue Of her estate to the
State Tuberculosis Sanatorlum.
There is a strong and growing
feeling of this kind throughout
the State of North Carolina.
Some people are going to oeven
better than this good woman.
They are going to do something
for the Sanatorum while they
live. Through the Red Cross
Seal sales last Christmas the
people in the State in this small
way, a penny at time, contri-
buted $40, 100000, which was used
in the fight against tuberculosis
in North Carolina; and so it goes.
The State at this time cannot
handle its tuberculosis problem.
Of course it would if it could,
but it can not. But the State
can do this, ana it will. 1t can
provide so that the money, time
and energy that is anxious to be
spent in the fight against Tuber-
culosis in North Carolina shall
be directed in proper channels
so as to accomplish the greatest
good. 1t can and will provide
suitable buildings and equipment
at the State Sanatorium so that
the work can be conducted in the
proper manner. 1t will provide
competent directors and leaders
to direct the campaign against
tuberculosis in North Carolina.
1t can do this, and do it now,
it cannot afford to do less; it will
not do less. N. G. State Board
of Health.

funds amounting to nearly two
hundred and fifty dollars at the
close Of the season, after paying
all expenses, including the initial
cost of the fence and grand
stand, which amounted to nearly
six hundred dollars. The net
profit for the season would have
gone close to four hundred dol
lars but for the fact that the
Board Of Governors very gener-
ously and properly betrayed the
expenses Of players injured
while participating in the games.
Like any other contest in
which the spirit of rivalry is at
all keen, some strife was engen-
dered. 1t was expected and 1t
was impossible to avoid. 1t was
not carried greatly to extreme
however, and all teams at all
times bowed to the decision Of
the Board of Governors and took
their medicine gamely.
Here's congratulations to the
winners and to the losers. They
all played good ball and their eff
forts furnished the people OF
this community all summer long

Study History

This is the time to study his
tory, and especially the history
of the last one hundred years.
Only BY a bird s-eye view Of
what has taken place in Europe
during the last century can the
conditions that have precipitated
the present war be understood.
Dust Oft the volumes Of your
encyclopedia, read the condensed
histories Of the nations involved
and your view Of the gigantic
struggle now in progress will be
UNNECESSARILY broadened.
Get brief biographies of Bis
marck, Cayour, Beaconsfeld,
Gladstone, Metternich, cor read
the sketches of them IN some
standard encyclopedia and the
involutionS and conyolutions of
diplomacy that brought on or
averted war in the past will be
better understood A few hours
will at least give you glimpse
into the underlying causes on
which national hatreds now rest.
1t is a wonderful panorama,
the history of the past hundred
years. Ancient history does not
approach it in vital, gripping
power. 1t is a history that touch
es to-day every man, women and
child in civilization in its effects.

Roanoke Valley League for this

Taken as a whole, league ball

Patriotism and the Cotton Situation

Face to face with an enormous
crop Of cotton this season, coupl-
ed with a very limited market on
accounted the Pan-European con-
tlict, the South is confronted
with an exceedingly difficult pro
blem.
Expert statisticians have esti-
mated that there will be about
three million bales of cotton fore
ed on the market this year for
which, if something is not done,
there will be practically no de-
mand, In making this estimate,
allowance was made for extra
large takings this season byAmer-
lean spinners and also for a
large amount Of the crop being
held off of market and carried
over to next year,
The problem that confronts
the South to-day is what to do
with this excess Of three million
bales. NumberIess plans and
schemes have been suggested but
by far the most sensible one is
the suggestion emanating from
Atlanta - the Buy a Bale of
Cotton" plan. That plan con-
templates the purchase, by all
patriotic citizens who are able to
do so, of one bale Of cotton from
the farmer at l0c. a pound and
the carrying Of this cotton over
to next year. This plan if sup
ported will do much towards
helping the situation.
In connection with this plan it is
interesting to note the campaign
being conducted in Atlanta under
the slogan of Buy CottonGoods'
To this end the department stor
es of Atlanta will exhibit in their
windows next week displays Of
cotton goods which are adapted
for everyday use, not only for
wearing apparel but also for
household adorment.
This is an excellent scheme and
should be carried out every
where. People who want to do
something to aid in lifting from
the Southern farmer the enor-
nous loss that he will suffer if his
crop is thrown on a market borne
down below the cost of produc-
ton by the excess of supply over
demand, can aid in this cause.
If they are unable to buy a bale
of cotton they can buy a bolt of
cloth. The carrying out of this
idea will not entail any sacrifice
upon its adherents. Cotton
cloth is cheaper now than it
has been for sometime and much
cheaper, according to all indica..
tions, than it will be after the
war is over and the mills of the
world are subject toan enormous
demand to replenish stocks of
cotton goods in those countries
whose manufactures and impor-
tations are now practically at a
standstill. To buy all the cotton
