DESCRIBES PLAN OF
ADVANCING MONEY
Says Storage Will Give Only Tenn
porary Relief = In Interior
Points Problem Harder and
May Force Selling
(By Ben f. Johnson.l

As requested by the Daily Express
ditions concerning the cotton situa-
ton in general, and more particularly
as to the local situation. | have been
reading and watching with much in
terest what has been said concerning
the general price of cotton and what
might be the solution which would
enable the farmer, the banker and the
merchant to get price for cotton
which they would have received at this
time had there been no war between
the foreign nations.
| desire to state that this is all new
to me, and think 1t is impossible
to state plan that might be for the
best, not having gone through simi-
lar circumstance. There is one thing
we do know at this time, that since
the beginning Of this war the price Of
all food products have advanced and
money rates have gone up all over the
country OF course, there may be
some minor commodities with which
we do not have to deal in this section
which have deprecated In value, but
the principal commodity with which
we have to deal in this section, which
has suffered depreciation is cotton.
OF course, the depreciation in cotton
does not affect every farmer The man
who has plenty of hogs, wheat and
other products from the farm seems
to be feeling in good shape, but the
man who has a few acres of cotton is
very much discouraged.
Now, it seems to me that the gen
eral decision which has been arrived
at in the discussion of this subject, is
hold your cotton, put your cotton in
warehouses and store it," | think the
impression has gone out to a great
many of the farmers that storing this
cotton in warehouses was a protection
and would be a guarantee to them that
they would get an increased price, II

English Confident.

BY United Press.
London, Sept. 3.-While no official
announcement was made this morning,
1t was indicated that the British gov
ernment continues confident that Paris
Will not be captured by the Germans.
The belief is growing that the hign
tide Of German offensive operations
has been reached and that the time is
approaching when the allies will be
able to assume the offensive.
II is stated that the Germans have
Withdrawn In Alsace and that the Aus.
trian troops that have been operating
against France have also been with
drawn. The ferocity of the German
assault is said to be diminished.
1t is believed that the next forty
eight hours will decide the fate of
Paris as to the prospects of undergo
ing siege. If the Germans push for
ward as far as they have during the
past two days, they will be in contact
with the outer defenses OF Paris.

side of the score board when the whis-
tie blows at the end of the last half
this year. Probably only one more
game will be played this season, so if
the football fans want to get line on
