crop and to care for such distress cot
ton as may come upon the market and
also to keep in operation the factories
and various industries necessary for
the consumption of the crop.
Financial Situation Good.
The financial situation of the coun-
try could not be better, and when it is
understood that the treasury depart
ment stands ready to lend its great
power to prevent a sacrifice of the cot
ton crop, a feeling of confidence and
assurance should come to us ALL
Fourth, local cooperation. The
agencies of the Federal government,
both executive and Legislative, are do
ing all possible to relieve the strain OF
the situation While the power Of the
government is great, it should not be
over-estimated. We desire to impress
emphatically the necessity for the most
cordial and unselfish cooperation
among the farmers, merchants and
bankers of the south, to the end that
every local effort and every local agen-
cy shall be brought into action in the
interest Of the common good.
Conferences Helpful.
I'VE believe that conferences in the
respective states and localities would
be most helpful. They would furnish
the machinery through which the prob
lem in all Of it's phases can be thor
oughly considered and dealt with un-
der the peculiar environment Of each
state and community. Accurate infOr-
nation as to warehousing facilities
should be gathered for your local use
and furnished to your senators and
representatives in congress at the ear
liest moment.
1T is our mature judgment that the
least possible amount of cotton should
he put on the market during the next
sixty days, for it is our belief that the
combined strength of the Federal gov
eminent and state and local agencies,
coupled with the inherent loyalty of
the southern people, will make it pos
siblc for the cotton crop to be marketed
without sacrifice"

Claims the South Will Not Suffer-

Claims the South Will Not Suffer-
According to kilograms received by
New York banks and bankers, says
an Associated Press dispatch, the
cotton planters in the south are
much alarmed over the foreign sit
uation in its relation to their interests,
Some of the kilograms stated in sub
stance that a continuance of the war
would reduce the demand for cotton by
fully 80 per cent.
In response to one of these cOmmu-
nicatiOns. \. Barton Hepburn, chair
man of the Chase National bank, has
sent the following telegram to Con-
srcssman Underwood at Washington:
THE south is unnecessarily alarmed
over the prospective reduction in de-
mand for and price of cotton in view
uf the general European war. Euro
pean manufacturers may not require
the usual amount of cotton, but Amer
lean manufacturers will require it all.

of any nation which first seeks it and
can best serve the former patrons of
Germany. OF all nations, the United
States is in the best position to take
and hold the trade. Merchants, manu-
facturers, bankers and statesmen
should work together for that purpose.
First, liberalze our shipping laws.
Germany supplied the coarse and
cheaper cotton trade of Mexico, Cen
trail and South America, Africa, Asia
and the Orient generally.
There will be no embargo on the
commerce of the Pacific. Our cotton
should go abroad not as raw material
but as a finished product, and when
the war of Europe is over we should
hold largely the trade that now is
waiting to fall into our hands,

ing under favorable conditions. Mrs.
Wilson arrived at the printing office
unannounced. She was met by H. E.
Terry, a messenger, and when she told
the messenger who she was, Terry
suggested that the Public Printer be
notified" Mrs Wilson, however, in
sisted on being treated like an ordi-
nary visitor. so Terry escorted her
through the various shops, and the
public printer knew nothing of it un-
til she had gone. The messenger un-
knowingly violated the rules OF the
office.
The next morning Terry learned
that he was to be dismissed or have
member of congress whom he knew,
and asked for aid. The congressman
called up the public printer, who
promised to take the matter up with
the president. but before the public
printer could reach the White House,
Mrs. Wilson learned of the trouble OF
which she innocently was the cause
and the reinstatement of Terry fol-
lowed.
While mistress of the White House.
Mrs. Wilson made other visits among
government employees in behalf OF
welfare work. Her observations in
the mail DaS repair SnopS, cohu
by the pOstoffice department. where
many women were engaged, sewing up
torn mail pouches, brought to the at
tention of the proper officials the Ict
that there was lack of sanitary on
ditions in the shops and that tuber-
culosis and other diseases were preva-
lent in the establishment. She paid
numerous visits to the alley slums OF
Washington and attended many meet
ings there at which social welfare
work was discussed.
Her friends regarded Mrs. Wilson
as distinctivcly n southern woman in
many ways. She was youthful in APP
pearance without loss of motherly
charm. She had soft, brown hair and
brown eyes. fair complexion and
often a smile that suggested what
were her pleasant thoughts.-Phila-

1t follows in all amortization plans
that the smaller the annual payment
toward the principal, the longer will
be the life of the debt, and conse-
quently the larger the amount which
must be credited to total interest.
For example, loan of $1,000 at 6
per cent, with annual payments of
$40, takes 81 years for its discharge.
In that time the borrower will pay
$1,000 toward the principal and ST.

the borrower is such as to meet all
interest charges and wipe out the
debt at the end of its term. The ad-
vantages of this method are that the
debt is discharged by easy regular
payments. and the borrower is not
called upon in any one year to raise
a considerable sum of money to dis
charge the capital of his debt. Under
this system he must set aside from
each years profits or income a prop
er proportion to meet his indebted
ness. This frees him from the temp
tations of using money that should
go toward paying his debt in one year
for other purposes. because of an
optimistic belief that next years
crops or income will make it easier
to pay twice that amount.
The following amortization tables,
showing the exact effect of paying a
fixed sum each year, are taken from

Important Problems.

THE important problem involved in
this situation are:
First, transportation. 1t is essen
tial that the lint cotton and cotton man
ufactured goods should reach foreign
markets where they may be consumed
We are confident congress will pass
within a few days an amendment to
our shipping laws which will greatly
facilitate transportation. We have no
doubt transportation facilities will be
available for cotton and cotton manu-
factured goods within a very short
time.
Second, consumption of cotton. The
European war must necessarily reduce
temporarily the demand and consump-
ton of our cotton. The state depart
ment has cabled our consuls abroad for
detailed information. From the infor-
nation we have received, we are con-
fident the consumption, domestic and
foreign, of our cotton will be much
larger than is generally supposed. The
mills of the United States and Canada
will consume approximately half of
our production, and the demand for
American cotton by Great Britain and
the Orient will not be greatly reduced.
Great Britain consumes nearly half of
our exported cotton. Eleven million
bales of our cotton should be absorbed
by the trade, even under the most ag
gravated conditions.

Regarding the

The Monument is the sole product
of man which is expected to exist,
without change or repair, for all
time-beyond the memory that we
cherish in our hearts, which Is only
as long as the span of life. 1t may
help to form a record. but it Is erect
ed as a tribute Of love to those VINO
have passed ito that bourne from
whence no traveller ever returns" AS
such, let it be a thing Of beauty, not
dark and somber, but bright and
cheerful; not typifying earthly ,sor-
row, but symbolizing undying love.
And as architecture is brought to US
from the past by the tombs of the
ancients, so let us pass on to those
in our steps, some worthy expression
of our conception Of beauty.
