opening game at the Sox park in
April He had just framed fine alibi
for absenting himself from duty that
day, and could see Reb Russell STEP
ping into the box.
Just as the dandy southpaw was
about to pitch the first ball of the

"He struck me-" replied the wo-

"Who struck you?" demanded
Gardner, who is used to hearing such
complaints, and was still thinking
about Russell's first pitch, and hoping
it would be strike.

man.
Gardner appeared peeved.
Sure, John struck you," he said,
"but there are lot of Johns in this
city. Who is he?"

ton In bonded warehouses, for the Ger
tification Of each bale of cotton with
a certificate Of standardization and the
actual Identification OF every bale of
cotton with it's certificate.
Without these provisions" he said,
1T is doubtful if cotton collateral as
security can be made as mpregnablc
as it should be in the present crisis. ;"
Nr. Brand said with proper legisla-
| 'ion the government could put his
plan in operation within 80 days to
such an extent as to materially aid
the cotton growers. Ic said what
ever was done must be done imme-
diately.
Among those who attended the
hearing were: w. G. Turner James
F. Hunter and VIM. E. Love Of Mem
phis, Tenn. j. w. Culvert of Clarks-
dale, Miss, and E. R. Oliver of Louis
VILE Ky.
The committee is anxious TO secure
some legislation which will so stand
ardiZe cotton as to mako the product
a solid basis for credit. Mr.. Brand
pointed out that by system of ware
housing cotton under government su-
pervision and at government stand
I>ards, the product would be given a
standing which would enable the new
federal reserve board to make cot
ton warehouse receipts basis for
amplc.crcdit. That would allow cot
ton growers to hold their product un-
til arrangements could be made to
market 1t.
| Mr.. Brand said the United States
exports about S,70O,OO0 bales and
manufactures about 100000 bales
OF the export, 100000 bales goes to
England. l,250,00o to Germany. sO0,-
600 to France, 625,OOO to Austria,
$4,000 to Italy and 375.000 to Russia
Practically all of the export market
is now closed by war.
Ont OF 1i3,000,000 spindles manu-
featuring cotton in the world, Mr..
Brand said 93,O0O,0O0 were in coun-
tries now involved in the European
war. Cotton manufacturers present
said that by working to capacity the
mills Of this country might increase
their consumption from 5,5O0,0OO to
