THINK GOVERNMENT
 SHOULD AID FARMER DISPOSE OF COTTON
Progressive Farmer DevOtes Several Columns to Dis
 cussiOn of Problem.
 Arouse Congressmen

The Progressive Farmer. published in farm paper of the south, devotes several columns this week to discussion of the outlook for marketing the cotton crop. Here are few of the interviews:
 Gov. o. B. Colquitt of Texas says
 "I believe Congress ought to pass bill providing that the government may ex- tend advances direct to farmers to the extent of $50 per bale to enable them to meet their obligations and hold their cotton until the present war in Europe is over, thus enabling the farmers to reap the benefit of any advance In price when Europe is in a position to take our cot ton.
 We exported over s,oOO.O0o bales of cot ton last year, most of 1t being taken by countries in Europe now practically at war with each other. If our government will advance $50 per bale on this cot ton which would be otherwise subject to export, it would enable the farmers 10 secure not less than that amount for cotton sold to spinpers in this country Of course, the countries at war with each other will lose their cotton trade with other nations, and our manufacturers will profit by their loss Of this business, but our farmers should not be placed at the mercy of domestic spinners and specula- tors. The best solution, therefore, Is for the government to make direct ad- vances on cotton under insurance and in bonded warehouses, or do so through banks at a rate of interest not to ex- ceed per cent"

expects yesterday. is such a serious one
that it is certain 10 cause great trouble
and to arouse "A loud protest
In the case of a man who has salary
of $4,000 and an income from bonds of
$1,000, the sum of $40 will be withheld

tdXable only on this amount less the

therefore only 500, although sl1o has

Tho blank form 80. 1910, say experts,

$4,000 Federal soldiers have been
killed and more than $4,000 wounded
in conflicts with rebels since Presi-
dent Madero was criven from office
was revealed to-day by an attache
of the Government.
He stated that the majority of
those killed were soldiers drafted
into the army and placed in the ad-
vance guard in battles in order that
the trained troops might be held in
reserve.
No accurate figures for the prop
erty loss in Mexico are available. but
it is estimated at more than $3.50, 000-
600 in the last nine months. Losses
indirectly due to the revolution
caused by paralysis of business and
depreciation of the national currency
swell this total to $500, 900 900, &C

as a result of the commercial and in
