letter OF President Wilson.
Here Is the Presidents letter:

$500 " h'N
My Dear Mr.. Harding
Thank you sincerely for YOUR iet-
ter OF August 23d. 1t gives me
just the Information | desired.
What interests me most II this
1t is evident from what you tell me
that the country banks with whom
the farmer and other producers di-
iectly deal can get money at from
I to A.. per cent. and that the
question whether the benefit Of This
advantageous rate is TO be extend
ed to the farmer IL In their hands.
II IL i~nconceivable to me that
those who are responsible for deal
ing directly with the producers OF
the country should be willing to
jeopa rdize the prosperity OF the
country itself by refusing to share
with the producers the beneficial
rates now o~bta.nable for money
loans. | think that we can conf
IDENTIFY expect that the banks In the
cotton States and in the agricul-
tural regions generally will content
themselves with a rate not more
than | or . per cent. above the
rate which they themselves pay.
I hope that the facts which YOU
have stated TO me will become gen.
orally known among the producers
Of the country so hat they may feel
themselves free to exact of the
banks with which they dea what
they undoubtedly have a right TO
expect.
Cordially and sincerely youls.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 25.-The Admins
growers In the situation created by the
action OF the allied Governments In de-
claring the staple ~contraband was taken
to-day when President Wilson appealed
to the bankers Of the South to make
cotton lolns at interest rates OF from
/ to 2 per rent. above the actual cost OF
money.
The Presidents appeal was made in a
letter to W. +. q. Harding OF the Federal
Reserve Board, and Mr.. Harding was
authorized to read 1t in an address de-
livered by him before the Alabama Mcr-
chants Association at Birmingham to-
night. President Wilson's evident in
tention IL to obtain for the cotton grow
ers the easiest possible loan accomoda-
lions upOn the $50. 100000 of Govern
mcnt gold which Secretary McAdoo an
nounced this week would be deposited in
the Southern reserve banks as IL Is
needed.
The President expressed The hope tina
the producers Of cotton may feel them
selves free to exact Of the banks with
which they deal what they undoubtedly
have the right to expect In the matter
OF interest rates.
MIR. Harding's speech was a lengthy
and thoroughgoing discussion of the
cotton problem. He conferred with
President Wilson the day before he
started for Birmingham, the assumption
being that he discussed the speech with
Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Harding asked that IA reasonable
attitude be taken by cotton planters In
regard to the Allies c~ontraband declara-
ton. pointing out the arguments used
in its defence. namely. that In some
measure the staple is a munition. He
POINTED. too, to the Indications that
Germany in the last several months
has been getting a large supply OF cot
ton through neutral countries.

From a Dying Frenchman.

The most dramatic letter comes
from the French. On one of the fields
of battle, when the Red Cross soldiers
were collecting the wounded after a
heavy engagement, there was found
a half sheet of notepaper, on which
was written a message for woman,
of which this is the translation:
Sweetheart: Fate in this present
war has treated us more cruelty than
many others. If | have not lived to
create for you the happiness of which
both our hearts dreamed, remember
that my sole wish is now that you
should be happy. Forget me. Create
for yourself some happy home that
may restore to you some of the great
err pleasures of life. For myself
shall have died happy in the thought
of your love. My last thought has
been for you and for those | have
at home. Accept this. the last kiss,
from him who loved you
Writing from a fortress on the
frontier, a French officer says the
colonel in command was asked to send
a hundred men to stiffen some reserv-
list artillery in the middle of France,
far away from the war area. He
called for volunteers. Some of YOU
who have got wives and children or
old mothers fall out" he said Not a
man stirred. Come. come, the
colonel went on. No one will dream
of saying you funked. Nothing of
that kind. Fall OUT" Again the
ranks were unbroken. The colonel
blew his nose violently He tried to
speak severely, but his voice failed
him. He tried to frown, but somehow
it turned into a smile. Very we'll"
he said, you must draw lots" And
that was what they did.

Working Up-The Chemist
CARL H. MILAN Director Public Library.

."There are several graduate chemists working under me- said a head chemist in a manufacturing plant the other day, land not single one of them seems to be interested in advancing himself" The remark came in answer to ques- ton as to whether the library should purchase certain new chemical litera- ture. The head chemist himself spends several hours in the library every week, but the younger fellows have not yet formed the habit
 And largely because of this lack of ambition" continued the man, i've are forced to send out of town for experts when we should like to promote our own people,
 In spite of this discouraging report from one man. the library has a brisk demand for books on chemistry. It has therefore been thought advisable to build up a reasonably good collection on both the theoretical and the practical sides.
 For the general reader there are popular books such as '"The Chemistry of Commerce. and Some Chemical Prob- lems of Today" by Prof. R. K. Duncan. Fo- the boy or girl there is ''Chemistry for Young People, by Tudor Jenks.
 The practical man who wants to re- view q special subject will find several good books, including Remsen's College Chemistry and the publications of the International Correspondence Schools on chemistry.
 Industrial chemistry. in general, is cov- cred by Sadtlers Industrial Organic Chemistry: Martins Industrial Chem istry-Organic''; Rogers and Aubert's Tn dustrial Chemistry and others. Gen eral Metallurgy," by Hoffman, is one of the best of several books on this sub ject.
 There are also many DOCKS on spec.al subjects such es "Sulphuric Acid and Alkali," by Lunee, a monumental work in several volumes; ''Steel Works Analy- sls.'' by Arnold & Ibbotson; 'Chemistry Of Food and Nutrition by Sherman; Applied Electro Chemistry by W.deK.
