Urges Cotton
For Bagging

Jacksonville. Ball of the board
of governors of the Jacksonville board
of trade, will present at the next
meeting of the board of governors a
resolution to the effect that all manu-
facturers and shippers of grain, cere-
ais and other similar products, espe-
cially of rice, who have been shipping
their goods in jute, paper and other
kinds of bags, shall be urged to use
white cotton sacks and bagging in the
future. He will also present similar
resolution endorsing this project at the
meeting of the Jacksonville Whole
sale Grocers' Association.
The condition precedent" to the
drawing of this resolution was the fact
that it has been brought to Mr.. Balls
attention that many of the manufac-
turers have already taken this import
ant step toward relieving the distress
ed cotton" crop. He believes that it
will result in the using of thousands
of bales of cotton, which would other
wise be drag on the market. Further,
he said, once the retailers have be-
come used to receiving their goods in
white cotton sacks, they will accept no
other kind. This has been Mr.. Balls
experience with the retailers.

South America
Trade Is Wanted
10 The First step-Branches of New
York Bank VIII Be Established
There Shortly

Jacksonville by properly and
carefully directed efforts and concen-
trated work the people Of this country
can secure the trade of South Ameri-
can countries and that the first and
all important step Of establishing a
system of exchange has already been
taken, were clearly brought out by
the speakers at the open meeting Of
the board of trade, held in that bodys
auditorium. The speakers, Ernest E.
Ling of the foreign trade department
Of the National City Bank of New York
and c. l.. Chandler were masters of
their subjects and held the interest of
the large gathering from the start.
Mr.. Ling. who was the first speaker,
stated that the movement to gain the
South American trade was nation wide,
but issued the warning that it would
be absolutely necessary to make
haste slowly" The National City bank,
realizing the need Of system Of cred
1t by which the American and South
American business houses may deal di-
rectly with each other and not by the
costly triangular method, has been in
vestigating the field for five years. 1t
has asked about five thousand manu-
facturers and exporters Of this country
their needs, and, basing its plans upon
these Investigations and the replies to
these letters, under the new federal
reserve act, which he said does away
with the cramping effect of the old
banking laws, that institution has ar
ranged to establish branch banks at
Buenos Ayres and Rio de Janeiro at
once. These will be capitalized at ST.
100000 each and others in the less
important centers will be established
as the field becomes more developed.
The force for the branch at Buenos
Ayres has already sailed and that for
the branch at Rio de Janeiro will be
completed and will sail in short
time" said Mr.. Ling.

are making history and are at
lacking and taking ancient and
historic towns that are. however, but
little known to the ordinary traveller
There is Lemberg, the capital of Call
cia, an old and interesting city, which
the Russians have captured and invest
ed. From here Russian civil govern
ment has been established over eastern
Galicia, and Russian governor, Count
Bobrinsky, has been appointed and re-
Gently installed.
When the Russian forces marched
into Lemberg it marked the third time
that Cossack hordes have swarmed
about its walls and laid waste sur
rounding territory. Once have the
Turks gained their way to its for
tresses, once has it fallen under the
determined besieging of the forces OF
Charles XII. of Sweden. Time and
time again have the warning forces OF
car, Of Cossack hetman and Polish
noble, of Tartar hordes and European
mercenaries, fought over and over
again on the plains Of Galicia and
about Lemberg.
Lemberg, known in Polish as Lwow,
was founded about 1869 under the
name Of Leorolis by Leo Danilowicz'
Ruthenian prince. In 1910 1t was cap
tured by Casimir the Great of Poland.

suits Next Year

Jacksonville. county is to
take it's position as the exposition
center of the state.
All the plans are now ripe to hold
one of the greatest agricultural fair
here next fall that was ever recorded
in the state, w. l.. Watson, the agri-
cultural adviser of the county, having
the matter well, under way at the pres
ent time. He believes that such a
county fair next year will be a great
one owing to the progress which has
been made this year.
A great county fair here, similar to
those that have been held in many
counties of the state will, it is believed,
mean the ultimate organization of the
state fair movement. 1t is pointed out
that Florida is the only state in prac-
tically the entire country which fails
to hold an annual state fair. 1t is
hoped that the counties will get togeth-
er on the general proposition.
The wide variety of products and
mineral resources form part or the
plan of the men who are promoting
this idea. 1t is believed that the live
stock interests of the state would be
greatly encouraged by the holding OF
state fair.
Working For Big Membership
In talking over the general PROPOSE
ton, Agricultural Adviser Watson OF
the county stated that the bureau here
is going out again to get at least one
thousand members for the agricultural
and market bureau of Duval county.
The successful meetings held at a
number of places in the county during
the last few months have shown that
the efforts of the bureau are Of a
most important character.
