tential supply of cotton is out of pro- portion to requirements during the nexA 12 months, it is nevertheless impor- tant, because of our lack of adequate shipping facilities as well as restrit- lions brought about by the war upon free exports to all countries, that ample means be provided for the proper hand ling and effective marketing of cotton.
 Similar steps may properly be taken by federal reserve banks whose mem bers are likely to be called upon to finance other agricultural products, wherever there is available a system, of warehouses. elevators or other ap proved means of storing and certifying to given quantities of staple agrlcul- tural products.
 ..The board calls particular attention to Regulatoon 'P. recently issued, with reference to the subject of Trade Ac ceptances' Such trade acceptances, when growing out of transactions in- volving the movement of staple agri- cultural products and being indorsed by a member bank, are eligible for redis- count with federal reserve bank in the manner indicated in said regula tion. and their use should aid materially in the marketing of the crops of the coun- try during the coming autumn
 "The board will be prepared fror, time to time to pass upon such special rhases of the crop moving problem as member banks may present to 1t through the federal reserve agents. who are brought into coptact with the special conditions prevailing in the va rious sections of the country, and 1t will adapt existing regulations to such conditions as may have to be met In facilitating the normal and economic movement of the staple agricultural products of the country.

 Work Harder

Montgomery, August g. = Especially Representative w. K. P. Wilson of Mobile will introduce in the house tomorrow a resolution calling upon the legislature to remain in session until the 50 legislative days have been consumed
 The Mobile representative, in announo- ing his intention to introduce this resolu- tion, expressed the opinion that the legis- lature is not doing enough work. As is we'll known, the legislature has been In session more than three weeks and has only consumed six working days. Repre- sentative Wilson thinks the solons should work at least three or four days a week.
 T shall introduce the resolution in order that the legislature may put itself on record as either for or against another split session. said the Mobile member. Personally, l am opposed to a second split session. Moreover, we are not doing enough work, and in saying this, I speak not only for myself but for others, from whom I have heard this same complaint"

Why should a revolver shot be fired and

proper sphere for the music Is to follow

to do what the action fails to do. For
this very good reason-that the producer

There is no need for a reform Of the

all 1t needs is developing. And the pro-

ATTACK Against the

London. Feb, 3.-Ge1cral Won
IIeadenbur&'s new attack against
Warsaw thus far has done little
more than 10 weaken the Russian
advanced positions. The new theory
to explain this purpose is that it is
intended to hold the Russian crack
troops in front of Warsaw and keep
them from serving in the Carpathi-
ans. The Germans before Warsaw
and in Belgium are AGAIN using the
massed formation OF attack with
heavy sacrifices Of life. Henden-
burg's attack now seems to center
about thirty miles due west of War
saw. Both sides are strongly en-
trenched,
The Russians claim they have re
captured most Of the trenches which
the Germans gained in the early
days of this attack.
The German attack in Belgium
seems to be concentrated against
the British troops about LaBasse.
Here the German fighting IS almost
daily and the British have suffered
heavily. It is believed these attacks
are due to the often expressed Ger
man preference to inflict losses on
the British when other things are
