LIVE STOCK SHOW AT GREAT
MISSISSIPPI ALABAMA FAIR
WILL BE GREATEST In SOUTH

A nation is looking to tae south
land as source from which the beef
of country will be sought
Indications point 70 the gathering at
Meridian during the week of the Mis-
sissippi-Alabama Fair, October 18th
TO Gath, 1914, of the finest herds of
beef and dairy cattle ever exhibited
at a southern fair, the largest num-
Der of fine stations, mares, mules and
jacks, and the greatest variety of the
leading swine breeds. The Associa-
ton has, however, made all arrange
ments to care for the great overflow of
live stock that is expected, and every
available foot of space in the horse
and cattle barns, and every pen in the
swine shed will be needed TO care for
the great number OF exhibits of the
above character.
1t is significant to point to the great
sum OF money that the Mlssissippi-Ala-
bama Fair is to distribute in premiums
In its live stock department this year.
When the figures, $750O.O0. are placed
before the readers of thu. article.
there is little question that If the
bigness of the Meridian Fair had never
before appealed to them, then 1t will
now.
The directors of the Mississippi
Alabama Fair, firm in the belief that
stock raising is to play an important
part in the future development of this
and adjoining states, and urging their
efforts to present to the patrons of the
great Fair the very best expositions
of live stock raising have made 1t a
special point to emphasize the prem
iums to be given in the various stock
departments.
The largest sum of money will be
distributed In the cattle department,
where total of S322S.50 will be paid
out, $76S.00 of this sum having been
appropriated by the American Here
ford Association, the American Short
horn Association and the American
Jersey Cattle Club in $500; $3.50, and
$11S amounts, respectively.

NORTH WOULD AID.
ChieagOans Propose to Cooperate in
Nalorization Plan.


In an effort to preserve trade in
the Southern States during stagna-
ton Of the cotton export trade, Incl
dent to the European war, Chicago
wholesale merchants and bankers
started a northern campaign to bring
about the placing of cotton warehouse
certificates on a negotiable basis.
A bin is before Congress to place
cotton warehouse certificates on equil-
ity with train warehouse receipts, on
credit extended. because no one but
holders Of the receipts can withdraw
the grain.
Eight leading wholesale houses and
presidents of five Of the largest
banks in Chicago telegraphed an ap-
peal to the governors Of all cotton
producing States, urging State ac-
ton or cooperation with the national
government in bringing about this
reform. One of the wholesalers said
the total cotton crop of the United
States was worth almost a billion
dollars a year, and that the export
of this commodity about equaled the
balance of foreign trade.
With export greatly reduced by the
war, the basis of credit in the South
was said by the wholesaler TO demand
the standardizing of warehouse re-
ceipts, to enable a ready extension
Of credit.

United Effort for Cotton.

At the conference in Washington
holding cotton in warehouses seems
to be favored with an issue of money
against it through the reserve banks,
One man said that American mills
alone would take 100000 bales at
8 cents a pound"
That is exactly what is not want
ed. Cotton is worth more than 8
cents pound, and if it were sure
that the growers would sell it for
that price, the crop woald be grabbed
at once.
A stampede might hammer cotton
to lower point. A united effort,
along with the effort on the part
of the grower himself, would be able
to carry the cotton until the worlds
demand again would become normal
and the world needs 13,o000O0 bales
of American cotton.
A temporary warehouse, made OF
scantling and thin metal, could be
very cheaply and very quickly con-
structed.
Available sites on every railroad
could be secured and the storage at
the rate of so cents bale month
would pay for the construction.
This will, of course, be a big under
taking, but these are big times.
These are days of big things.
Organization, cooperation would
work out the plan.
/ The European war can't go on
until the next crop is made. The
warning nations viii. NAVE shot them
selves into bankruptcy BY next May.
If the war should go on until then,
the rest of the world will Be needing
clothes and mills in the non warning
countries, by that time, will, be able
to make the cloth needed and the
amount needed will about exhaust
the present crop of cotton.
We have a special story from the
New York Herald showing that the
chau, will Immediately come into the
market for a couple of million bales.
China is great cotton cloth con-
sumer, and Japan evidently is pre-
pairing to supply its needs. Other
avenues, in spite Of the war, will be
found for cotton if the staple is
slowly and conscrvatively marketed.
There is no reason why any man
should bargain to sell his cotton now
at price improbable to himself

Are our own mcnied men showing
the proper consideration for the

Are the warehouses and banks
