WILSON APPEALS TO BANKERS
Southern Financiers Are Asked to
Assist Cotton Growers.


Washington, Aug. 26.-The admins
tration's second step to assist the cot
ton growers in the situation created
by the action Of the allied govern
ments in declaring the staple contra
band was taken when President VIII
son appealed to the bankers Of the
south to make cotton loans at inter
est rates of from l to 2 per cent
above the actual cost of money.
The presidents appeal was made
in a letter to w. P. G. Harding of the
federal reserve board, and Mr.. Hard
ing was authorized to read it in an
address delivered by him before the
Alabama Merchants association at
Birmingham.
The presidents evident intention Is
to secure for the cotton growers the
easiest possible loan accommodations
upon the S3O,0OO,000 of government
gold which Secretary Of the Treasury
McAdoo announced this week would
be deposited in the southern reserve
banks as it is needed.
Mr.. Harding bespeaks reasonable
attitude on the part Of the cotton
planters in regard to the allies con,
traband declaration, pointing out the
arguments which are used In its de-
fense, namely, that in some measure
the staple is a munition of war. Here
is the presidents letter:
"My Dear Mr.. Harding: Thank you
sincerely for your letter of Aug. %.
1t gives me just the information de-
sired.
What interests me most Is: 1t Is
evident from what you tell me that
the country banks with whom the
farmer and other producers deal can
get money at from 4 to Az per cent
and that the question whether the
benefit of this advantageous rate is to
be extended to the farmer Is in their
hands. 1t is inconceivable to me that
those who are responsible for dealing
directly with the producers of the
country should be willing to leopard
ize the prosperity of the country itself
by refusing to share with the pro-
ducers the beneficial rates now OBJ
tainable for money loans. think that
we can confidently expect that the
banks in the cotton states and in the
agricultural regions generally will
content themselves with a rate not
more than l or per cent above the
rate which they themselves pay. /
hope that the facts which you have
stated to me will become generally
known among the producers Of the
country so that they may feel them
selves free TO exact Of the banks with
which they deal what they undoubted-
ly have a right to expect"

came from England, too. put both are
real Americans at heart.
AS the aged farmer explained:
THE United States is the most glori-
Gus nation in the world. | loved the
old flag SO much risked my life for
it in the civil war That's why think
the government owes 1t to me to fur
ntsh me with a girl-a daughter we
can love.
And if you find me a good girl with
no other love ties I'll pledge you my
word that just as l stood ready to Of
fer my life for the United States I'll
take good care Of her.
Louisa needs a girl. You see, she
never had an education and can't read
or write, and a girl who can do thea
things will be more than daughter tc

Washington, Aug. 25.,- Germany,

1t was the first word from Germany

The German official communication
was as follows:
The German ambassador received

9he burglars have found a more expe-

Of it. DR.. James J. Walsh, an authori-

DR.. J. T. Gwathmey, author of text

said he could not see how a person

IF SKIN BREAKS
OUT AND |TCHES
APPLY SULPHUR
Use it like a cold cream and
dry Eczema eruptions
right up.

The moment you apply bold-sulphur
to an itching or broken out skin, the
itching stops and healing begins, says
Il renowned dermatologist.
This remarkable sulphur made into a
thick cream effects such prompt relief
even in aggravated Eczema, that it is
a neverending source of amazement to
physicians.
For many years bold-sulphur has oc,
cupied a secure position in the treat,
ment of cutaneous eruptions by reason
OF its cooling, parasitedestroying prop
critics and nothing has ever been found
to take its place in relieving irritable
and inhammatory affections of the skin.
While not always establishing perma-
nent cure, yet in every instance, it
immediately subdues the itching irrita-
ton and heals the Eczema right up and
1T is often years later before any erup-
ton again manifests itself.
Any good druggist will supply an
ounce of bold-sulphur, which should be
applied to the affected parts like the
ordinary cold creams. Tt isn't unpleas-
ant and the prompt relief afforded is
very welcome, particularly when the Ec-
