$5,000,O00 INITIAL DEPOSIT
Special Rediscount Ratios on Promis-

Washington.-Defnite steps were
taken by the federal reserve board
and Secretary McAdoo of the treasury
department, to extend aid to cotton
producers of the south and to clear
the way for handling the fall crop
without the uncertainty and difficulty
experienced last year
The board issued new regulations
authorizing federal reserve banks to
give special rediscount rates on
promissory notes secured by ware
house receipts for staple agricultural
products with the restriction that
member banks must not charge more
than per cent>to the borrower
Secretary McAdoo announced he
would soon deposit $5,O00.0OO as an
initial deposit in gold in each of the
federal reserve banks at Richmond
Atlanta and Dallas Fifteen million
dollars more is to be deposited later
The secretary said that If conditions
showed the need of deposits elsewhere
to aid in handling any other crop he
would extend similar government aid
The new regulations are broad

A Remedy
Is Needed

The cases of juvenile delin-
quency that came before the
probate Judge the latter part of
last week have been temporarily
disposed of in the following man
ner:
Mr.. Press Donahoe, a good
farmer living near Ruby was ap-
pointed probationary officer over
the young Rushing boys, aged 13
and IL years. The boys are to
report to Mr.. Donahoe, who in
turn will report to the probate
judge. Mr.. Donahoe will at
tempt to encourage the boys to
attend school regularly and other
wise to try and become useful
citizens.
The older boy, Will Maree,
aged 16, is under bond to aprear
at the September term of court.
The Young woman was released
on her promise of good behavior.
The Advertiser has only one
end in view in keeping these un-
fortunate cases before the pu bl,c.
The purpose is to bring home, as
far as possible to all coed citizens
of>the county the need of a bet
ter system Jf.treating such cases.
Chesterfield county is very
fortunate in that these cases are
rare. The population is made IN
up of native born, home loving
people, who take a great deal of
pride In the proper training of
their children. But few cases
will crop up now and then that
require the attention of the
courts. 1t is then that the COM
mnnity, realizing it's response.
bility, should be prepared to act
In such a maner as to give the
erring youth both the opportuni-
ty and the incentive to right
about face and endeavor to be-
come useful and respected citi-
zens.
1t is very hard for boys who
have started wrong to reform
amid their old environment. A
complete change of associates
and q term of rigid, though hu-
name discipline will often work
wenders,
The foregoing applies with
even greater force to the case OF
young woman who has, very
probab by through no fault of her
own, adopted a too low stan dard
of conduct.
unfortunately, the State,
while providing for erring boys,
has not yet made provision for
It's girls.
In the meantime, while the
citizens Of the State and county
are wisely shaking their heads
and saying something ought to
be done-and it ought-The Ad-
vertiser wonders what the good
Christian women of the COM
nunity think of their RESPONSE
bility in tn particular case. A
very pretty song that is some
times heard about lifting up the
fallen is suggestive.

Wilson Can Proceed With More Free
dom Now,

Washington.-With danger of ser.

removed, President Wilson, 1t was
said authoritatively, believes he can
proceed with more freedom in develop

watching military developments in
