In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper pub
lished at Springfield, Ohio, contribu-
tor describes several practical ways in
which farmers, by spending minutes,
can save hours. The article is full Of
time-saving suggestions similar to the
following:
Bringing horses up from pasture in
the morning takes considerable time if
the pasture is large. One Missouri
farmer having 20 horses, saved about
of that time By keeping
one @orse up each night and riding out
after the others in the morning. Half
a dozen of the horses were fair riding
horses, and those were used in rotation
so that no horse was kept up more
than once a week. 1t was just the work
OF a moment to put on the bride. TIE
use of a saddle was scorned as time
consuming luxury"

THE LOVE OF MONEY.

London Times.
The love of money can hardly be
the root of all evil, for it is only one
preserved passion out of many. But
there is a KIND Of decorum about
money which makes the love of it Pc
culiarly dangerous, since, it conceals
from the lover the nature and effects
Of his passion. If man wants too
much food, he is evidently greedy. If
woman wants too many clothes, she
is evidently vain. But money is not
thing, like clothes or food, that can
be enjoyed; and so greed for money
is not direct greed, but indirect. 1t
is civilized means of conducting the
struggle for life, which to great ex-
tent conceals from those who use 1t
the ugliness AID TIE animal nature of
that struggle T. is, in fact, kind Of
diplomacy, politely COL Quoted, behind
which there is war. They deal only
in documents, scraps of paper; and
trey are not aware, except at second

NOTICE OF ELECTION IN BIG
CREEK SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 20.

Whereas, one-third of the resident

resident freeholders of the age OF Il
years, in Big Creek school district, No.
20, of the County of Newberry, State

be al the discretion Of the member
bank, the reserve bank in accepting
such papers would discriminate in ia
vor of transactions fairly margined. 1t
would be unwise to await the actual
presence of a matured crop before un-
dertaking to make arrangements for
it's financing and the storage of such
part of it as it may be desirable to
liquidate gradually, and it therefore is
recommended tat member banks at
once proceed to advise with their in
terested customers with the view of
having them promptly make advance
arrangements, both with their bank
and with their responsible warehouse
men.
All notes must bear the endorsement
of a member bank. While the law will
not permit the reserve banks to accept
under discount notes secured by
pledge of cotton when the notes are
made by those purchasing the staple
for speculation or investment pur-
poses, tie reserve banks will serve one
of their chief and proper aims when
they accept from member banks notes
made by planters growing and owning
the cotton, by spinners who have
bought it for manufacturing purposes,
or by merchants accepting cotton in
settlement of accounts or as security
from growers. Notes made by plant
ers may be accepted by reserve bank
when having maturity UP to six
months from the date On which the
reserve bank receives the paper. In
this, connection, however, it is we'll to
advise that the aggregate amount of
paper having a maturity beyond ninety
days which a reserve bank may hold
at any time is limited to 80 per cent
of the paid in capital of any particular
reserve bank, which, in the case of
this bank, would be about 100000.
1t, therefore, would be wise for single
makers, in drawing their notes against
cotton, to make them of different ma
turtles when the transaction is large,
say in excess of $4,000, not only with
the view of permitting the reserve
bank wide latitude of action, but in
order to facilitate the gradual and
orderly liquidation of the cotton in
tie presence of fair market conditions.
The lien laws of the several States
interpose serious obstacles to the free
and safe acceptance of warehouse re-
ceipts as collateral. 1t, therefore, is
important that member banks in ac-
cepting as collateral, satisfy them
selves and be in position if asked to
certify to the reserve bank, that no
liens are outstanding against the cot
ton so accepted.
Cotton mills desiring to purchase
Il cir raw material in excess Of value
for which open credit can readily be
obtained, may store the cotton in a
warehouse not under their own con-
troll, when the note of such mill, with
warehouse receipt attachedI will be al
toget- er acceptable at the reserve bank
for any maturity up to ninety days
from the date of rediscount by the
bank and when the note bears the en-
dorsement of member bank.
With assurances to our member in
stitutions that this bank greatly de-
sires to aid them in the situations dis
cussed in this communication, with
the least possible trouble to them and
their customers, and inviting their full
cooperation, we remain,
Very truly yours,
Federal Reserve Bank Of Richmond,
Geo. J. Seay, Governor.

ture but this is not so. TIE present
crop will probably not be greater than
the worlds consumption under war
conditions. With judicious marketing
and Ieyel-headed handling of the sit
uation the cotton problem should solve
itself, and the crop s'3ould bring price
that will allow the producer a fair
living, after paying the cost of pro-
duction.
We do not assume to suggest rate
of interest for carrying cotton which
vii, meet conditions in every section.
We do, however, call attention to the
fact that certain banks have made it
a practice for several years to loan
money on stored cotton at tie rate
OF per cent, though some of them,
we are informed, were unable to name
that rate last fall. In considering the
rates at which thy can afford to loan
money on cotton, member banks should
bear in mind that the Federal reserve
bank of Richmond will, as indicated
III it's circular, furnish such loans
without prejldice to the normal line of
credit extended to each bank. In most
cases, therefore, the member bank
will be acting only as a guarantor and
intermediary between the Federal Re-
serve bank and the farmer.
1t is "up to" the bankers, business
men and farmers of tie South to rise
to the situation, work together for the
common good, and prevent any repe-
tition of the distressing conditions
prevalent last fall. The problem is
simply to place a relatively small crop
on the market no faster than the world
is willing to take, it at living prices.
The federal reserve act was passed
largely to meet just such extraor-
dinary conditions as now confront US,
and it would be crying shame if this
act should fail to afford its full bene-
ficent aid solely through a lack of CO.
operation on the part of those most
vitally interested. With what an abid-
ing faith in the common sense Of our
people and strong hope that each
will do his part, we cherish the belief
that we shall find ourselves at the
end of this cotton season in far more
stable financial condition than at pres
ent.
Many of our State banks are eligible
for membership in the reserve system.
If all such would promptly become
members it would greatly facilitate the
handling of the situation and it would,
we believe, be of great benefit to the
banks themselves.

ferred to by Messrs Coker, Gouverneur
and Bruton in their open letter.,
FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF
RICHMOND.
August 9, 1915.
To the Member Bank Addressed: In
anticipation of the possible needs OF
I'll ose soon to be interested in the
movement of the larger staple crops of
the country, the federal reserve board,
in published circular, has suggested
to the several reserve banks that they
take steps to enlist the active interest
of member banks in financing the
crops, and to arouse prompt and hear
ty cooperation of those chiefly con-
cerned, whether farmer, merchant or
manufacturer.
The Federal Reserve bank of Rich
mond is able and ready, through its
member institutions, to render any as
sistance needed in the district served
by it in this particular connection,
and at the same time to care fully for
such other current demands as may
be made upon it.
While grain crops will be heavy,
their care will hardly require special
thought or treatment, but should it be
found that their orderly movement and
their ultimate sale, free from undue
pressure, can be promoted by any serv-
ice possible for tie reserve bank to
render, such service will be available.
The situation with respect to cotton
is different and may require special
consideration. Pledged cotton should
be stored in public warehouses and re-
ceipts should be on standard forms,
which should be signed manually and
in ink. Evidence of proper insurance
should accompany each ware2 2ouse re-
ceipt. Certain warehouses issue in
sured receipts. In such cases it would
be proper for the interested member
bank to satisfy itself of the capital re-
sponsibility of the warthouseman and
the personnel of its management, in
order to be able to certify to the same
when called upon. In accepting and
Eolding warehouse receipts from any
source the reserve bank would expect
its members to be in position, if called
upon, to verify the facts set out in any
particular certificate, by inspection or
otherwise. Receipts should show
grades and weights Of the stored cot
ton and must be in negotiable form.
Notes pledging the staple should be
of the usual collateral form, giving the
rig.t to call for additional security in
case of necessity. While the amount
per bale advanced to the pledgor will
