noon at the Columbia Theater. where they
revealed in the various diversions of the

Mr.. Howe and Manager Fred G. Ber-
ger. of the theater. They were &C
companied by the matron of the institu-
ton and her assistants. who seemed to
enjoy the program quite as much as did
the children. During the remaining two
weeks the Howe Travel Festival will
be at the Columbia it is the desire Of
the managers that a similar privilege
shall be accorded other charitable in
situations having the care of children,
and President Frank Metzerott, of the
Columbia Theater- Company, is now in
communication with such institutions
with that end in view.

II Germany's coast is attacked. It will
be with the idea of giving the Kaiser so
much trouble at home that he will be
forced to weaken his army Invading
France in order TO meet the English on
his west and northwest coast, and the
Russians who are surging into East
Prussia.
The situation in Belgium and France
is admittedly grave, and It is thought
that a successful movement against the
German coast, coupled with the Russian
attack. would relieve the pressure
against the defenders OF France.

That 1t is the sense OF the committee

ported in normal quantity.
Warehouse Receipts o. X.
That warehouse receipts for these
commodities are proper collateral for
loans by banks.
That cotton does not deteriorate
when properly warehoused, and Is as
good twenty years after II is picked as
when II is first gathered: that II there
fore can be carried over until the resto-
ration Of normal business conditions en-
ables the worlds consumption 10 absorb
IT, The committee is, therefore, OF the
opinion that every effort should be made
TO assist the producers TO hold their cot
ton for a price that will minimize their
loss as far as possible until such time as
the channels OF foreign trade shall be
reopened. That loans upon cotton, made
upon a basis Of s cents per pound for
middling, less such margin as the lender
shall consider necessary. will AFFORD rea-
sonable protection to bankers and Will
greatly facilitate the financing Of our
most important export crop in the pres
ent emergency.
Eight Cents for MiddIinE.
That in suggesting cents per pound for
middling cotton as basis for loans, il
is not the purpose of the committee to
convey the idea that that figure repre-
sents in their opinion the intrisnic value
Of cotton, but that II is sufficient in their
Judgment to meet the requirements Of
the situation and enable the farmer to
market his cotton in an orderly and de
liberate manner.
Your committee recomm ends that notes
having not longer than four months to
run. when secured by proper warehouse
receipts for the aforesaid commodities,
properly insured, be accepted for redis
count by the Federal reserve banks. when
organized. and that they also be ap-
proved by the national currency asso-
