For Salvation of Industry
WOULD MAKE BALES
BASIS FOR CREDIT

Plan Laid Bfore House Committee
Would Standardize Product so as to
Make it Readily TransfOrmabIe In
to Collateral or Liquid Assets. Del
egates in Washington.
Washington, Aug. 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 the European war
The plan was laid before the house
agricultural committee by experts of
tho department Of agriculture. 1t
contemplates government supervision
of marketing, federal Standardization
Of grades, establishment of a system
of Warchousing to make baled cotton
solid basis for credit to growers and
enable them to finance their crops
until advantageous arrangements can
be made for marketing.
G. J. Brand, chief Of the division
of markets, suggested that 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
grading and the fixing of federal
standards for cotton. Mr.. Brand sug-
gested amendments to enable the
government to license cotton ware
houses, where the crop could be
stored. Under such conditions, he
said, tho new federal reserve board
would be able to mako cotton in the
warehouses 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. E. j. Watson, commits
sioncr OF agriculture of South Caro-
lima, today began organization of a
committee of grover and manufac-
turcrs TO present tho views Of the
Southern cotton men
The committee discussed the cotton
grading bill Of Representative Lever,
creating a federal systm of cotton
inspection and providing cotton stand

G. j. Brand, chief of the bureau OF
markets, told the committee that to
relieve the present situation in tho
South a general revision OF the pres
ent method of marketing cotton
should be made He said any plan

With Skill. Three German Corps
are Pushing Campaign.
Paris, August 8.-While the battle
between the German forces and the
Belgians is still in progress around
Liege, and the final outcome Is not
known, an official detailed account Of
the engagements covering period be-
tween August 3 and was issued here
today. In summarizing the operations
the account says:
"The Germans lost five thousand
dead. Twenty-four guns were cap
tured and one general was made prls-
oner. The German forces numbered
10000 and the Belgian defenders
10000.
"The German attack lacked cohe-
sion, but the Belgians utilized their
reserves with consummate skill. The
German artillery was badly shattered
by dense attacking columns. The guns
were badly served and inaccurate.
"The Belgian forts are intact. Not
one soldier was killed and not one
wounded during the three hours bonn
bardment OF Fort Evegnee, the steel
cupola OF which was not damaged.
"The Belgian fire was we'll placed
and accurate, proof Of which was the
destruction OF two German heavy
pieces. German air crafts, to deceive
the Belgians, carried Belgian flags"
Three German army corps are en-
gagged in the attack on Liegc, the 9Th,
under Gen. Won Pritzclwitz; the tn,
under Gen. Won Einem, and the 10th,
under Gen. Won Emmich.
Gen. Won Emmich has 70 addition
the supreme command OF three corps,
known as the army OF the Mouse.
German columns crossed the Bel
gian frontier and came in contact with
the Belgian advanced posts on tho
afternoon of August 4. The following
day the attack was general along the
whole line.
"The first attack Of the northeastern
German column was made on Fort
Eleron, the intervening space between
Forts Fieron and Evegnee and the in
tervals between Forts Fieron and
Chaud Fontaine.
"The attack was without dash. The
Glacis had been sown with obstacles
and tho artillery fire from. the Bel
gian forts was heavy and we'll placed.

GOES TO WASHINGTON
TO COFER on COTTON

MIR. n. Is. DlM left Yesterday for Ma.
tional Capital Upon Request Of Z,
j. Watson and Congressman Lever.
Mr.. N B. Dial left yesterday for
Washington to confer with southern
representatives in congress and dele
gates from the southern states rela-
tive to plans to relieve the cotton stu
alton which promises to be serious on
account of the European war. Mr..
Dial received letters both from Com
missioner E. j. Watson, who is head
ing a delegation to Washington of
South Carolina representative busi-
ness men, and from Congressman Lev
er, who is taking an active part in
formulating some plan by which the
federal government may be of aid in
relieving the situation,
AS is well known, Mr.. Dial has agi-
tatcd for several years a system of
bonded warehouses for unperishable
products under federal control. He
made provision for such a system OF
warehouses one of the principal
planks in his platform when he was
candidate for the United States SEN
ate. The basic principle OF his sys-
tenn Is to have the government guar
do
Of the warehoused product, such as
cotton, in order to make the staple
desirable collateral in the money mar
kcts. 1t will be noticed that the plan,
suggested in the present emergency
by c. J. Brand, chief of the bureau
Of markets, is almost identical with
that which Mr.. Dial has worked for
during the past few years. The diff
ference between Mr.. Dial's plan and
Mr.. Brands is that Mr.. Brand does
not provide for the bonding of the
warehouses to the federal government
so that the government would not lose
in case Of fire or any other agency. He
thinks that this plan would he the
one which the government would most
probably be willing to accept.
Mr.. Dial stated yesterday that in his
plan s not Incorporated any provision
for the issuance OF currency upon
ware house receipts, but that it was
intended to mako cotton warehouse
receipts bankable paper. He thinks
that after this Is accomplished the
strong financial position Of the United
States will make possible the market
ing Of cotton under favorable condi-
tions.
Mr.. John d. w. Watts, Mr.. Geo.
Wham and Mr.. j. G. Langston, who
were appointed delegates to the meet
ing In Washington, also loft to be in
attendance. While they have no plaH
to lay before the meeting, they will so

thirty years ago on the site of the homestead OF
the late Robert Patterson, which was the
birthplace of the late Mrs. Alden D. Chase.
Parker & Otis conducted trucking business
in Boston and sent their horses here for rest,
and for q time kept fancy stock. Mr.. Parker
was the resident manager, Mr.. Otis remaining
in Boston. At one time there was lage flock
of sheep on the place and later pigs were kept.
When Mr. George D. Otis was appointed Reg
lister of Probate for Waldo county the firm was
dissolved and nothing was done on the place
for some time. Later Mr.. Otis. having gone
out of business in Boston, took up his residence
here and short time ago sold the place. The
present owner, Mr.. Sylvester, who came here
from Etna. had repaire the buildings and
made many improvements. He had only

evening and during the exercises in the square,
and the indications are that the request will
be generally complied with. The music will
begin at O'Clock and the exercises will not
last more than as minutes, and so will not in
terfere with business or other affairs. In
Rockland last year the stores were closed
during the exercises.
Beginning with the new year the Eastern

about two months their service between
Portland and Boothbay. and also on the Port

up by the Municipal Christmas tree commit
tee, have contained requests for mttens. Per-
sons who have mittens at their disposal will
kindly send them to Mr.. Woodburys office or

JOE JACKSON
BY A. M. CORRIGAN
Red McGhee Says:

Where Carolina's rough an wild there used to be a husky child some fif- teen years ago, who played ball with the mountain boys. He always was the one big noise. They called him Dixie Joe. The years aint hushed his noise a bit. They're like a sounding board for tits louder every year. Joe keeps on pilin' up safe raps al though his team. the luckless Maps, have pulled up in the rear.
 Joe ain't got any pretty lines. Apol- lo-ing ain't where he shines. He don't run much to grace. But when he grabs his big, black stick an bangs that or Reach ball a lick the outfield stars a race. Joe's running ain't a handsome sight but then it's got the speed all right as all the catchers know. He's some wildcat around the sacks, hook sliding round the basemen's backs an beatin' out the throw.
 He fields some, too-has one swell whip. But battins earned or Joe his grip on all the million fans. On those old, or Polo grounds one day he hit one that just flew away across the two deck stans They claim it was the longest swat that ever left that classy lot where Baker won his fame. His team may strand on last place sholes. but Dixie Joe gets out an poles 300 just the same.

G|ANTS-WH|TE SOX TOUR
 TO BE SCREENED HERE
Lion Theater Secures Movies of the Second Great Globe Girdine
 By American Ball Team.

Sports afilm would be good comprehensive title for the six-reel Eclectic release, which starts at the Lion today, with the Giants White Sox world tour pictures. From the start III Cincinnati to the ga-lorious finish in New York City, when Presi- dent John K. Tener greeted the big league globe girdlecs, the tossers were ground up into little bits of inch square photos for the delecta- tiCn of the movie fans.
 There is a peculiar relationship be- tween fans and movie fans, and this is the time it can be shown. Those who love their baseball. and can re- cite the bookkeeping on all their favorite players, and those who keep up with the whirlwind changes of the silent drama are similarly af- flcted with the great unrest. In the world tour, there are many interest ing features beside the games the experts put on for the people of those foreign lands. The vivid i'm pressicn made on the aliens by these opponents of Americas great game is portrayed in the film, for it shows the crowds and the big guns who came to see the games-aye, even unto the rulers of the nations. h. cidents which were cabled to Ameri- ca and spread upon the pages of the pink sheets are depicted just as they happened. and those who followed the tourists around the globe will recognize the plays that they read about.
 The only kick the fans have on the arrangement is that the stingy film agency will only supply one reel at a time-a week between successive shows. But it's all coming. for the Lion has booked the half dozen solid for the next six Mondays and Tues oays.

Ellie Wilson, winner of the Phoe-

 he can attain the sum of road know ledge he thinks necessary, he is going
 oyer the race course from both ends. All the way to Los Angeles, he will study the road from behind the wheel of the car, and then. will take
 motorcycle and come back as far
 as Yuma. He will make several trips over the California leg of the route. About September 15, he will return, take his old blue wagon and begin hitting the Phoenix Yuma stretch of the road, trying for speed
 between the checking stations. until he can schedule himself absolutely
 over every stretch.
 He has been asked to make regular
 reports on the road conditions, and
 these, together with interesting in
