Washington, Feb. 9-Loans under
the Sl35.OO0,OOO cotton loan fund plan
have been closed and the plan yir-
tualy ended its existence last night
with an announcement from the cen
trail committee-the Federal Reserve
Board members acting as individuals
of the procedure for the future. APP
plcations for loans from cotton pro
ducers in the South amounted to $685.
600.
Subscribers to the fund, the com.
mittee points out, have not been re-
leased from liability for their pro
portionate share Of the $4,000,
though If all the loans are paid 1t
probably will not be necessary to
call any subscriptions.
In its announcement the committee
shows that the actual subscriptions
TO the fund aggregated S1Ol,O36,1OO
and came from iS7 banks, 1Sj firms
and II individuals, ranging from 500
to S5,OOO.OOO, representing G. cities
and 10 States and the District Of Co.
lumbia.
THE beneficial effects Of the fund
says the announcement, ARE not to
be measured by the small amounts
that were actually loaned, Its bene'
fits consisted largely in the public
knowledge that there was a source
of assistance which could be conf

ment Of the Work in Texas.
The Thirty-fourth Legislature will
be asked to appropriate S1lS,OOO for
the maintenance of the Texas expert
ment station system. including the
main station at the 4. a VI. College
and the eleven substations, for the
year l9l5-l6. Director b. Youngblood
has issued a neat pamphlet, which ex.
plains in thoroughgoing manner the
needs Of the system.
Texas is spending very little on her
experiment station system in compari.
son to that spent by other States. Mr..
Youngblood's pamphlet shows that
Ohio. with 272.Ol5 farms. spends $40
per farm on her station, while Texas.
with ilL77O farms, spends only lie
per farm. The total Federal. State
and miscellaneous appropriation for
Ohio is S4l1,67A25, while the total
expended on the Texas system is $50.
59O.07. Illinois Is next to Ohio. New
York third, Iowa fourth and Missouri
fifth.
The bulletin gives the purpose Of
the experiment station as. ITO solve
the problems which the farmers are
not prepared to solve for themselves"
Specialists Of long training and scien.
tiic knowledge; tools or apparatus
and equipment, and places to work,
such as greenhouses, laboratories,
etc, are named as the things which
constitute an experiment station.
Cuts Of old log barns now being
used on the main station farm as a
result of the Legislature to make AIDE.
quate provisions for the main station
are contained in the pamphlet. This
farm has been maintained by Federal
funds, which cannot be expended for

concerns in business. Bradstreets
report, running back thirty.three
years. shows no year in which the
number Of failures amounted to ~
per cent of the concerns in business.
This period includes the big panic
Of 1898 and the four years Of hard
times following, as well as the lesser
panic Of 1907. In 1898 little less
than fifteen out Of each thousand con.
Germs failed. That Is the hich.water
mark Of commercial mortality. The
low-water mark is 1906, when six and
one-half out Of each thousand failed.
The number Of concerns covered by
Bradstreets report now exceeds L..
100000. They are Of all sorts and
sizes, run by all kinds Of people
many Of them with little capital and
little experience.
If the consistency of failure is re.
markable-for we can confidently say
that not very far from one out Of
hundred will fail each year-the sta.
bility Of business the figures reflect
is even more remarkable In the

"The Movies" Add to the Liquor Dealers
Troubles

The liquor dealers have never had any great love
for the movies" This popular form of entertain
ment looms large a substitute for the saloon In
cidents record where neighborhood bars have
been put out of business because men who were &C
customed to spend the evening in the of the
saloon shifted their affections to the moving picture
show
1t may be that the substitute for the saloon, and
folks insist there must be substitute if the
against the liquor traffic is succeed is indeed found
in the movies"
But the liquor dealer has another quarrel with the
moving picture 1t is voiced in protest sent
out by the Manufacturers and Dealers Association,
demanding that the illustrations of the evils of the
liquor traffic in the picture halls be suppressed.
What is the trouble? Do pictures faithfully por
trayng the saloons victims, the rags the filth, the
squalor offend the aesthetic of the weldressed
wel-fed liquor dealer who perchance may be seeking
little entertainment in the picture halls?
Do these pictures of victims of alcohol prick the
conscience of the hardened rum-seller that he
fears the effect these pictures will have public
timent with reference to the liquor business?
1t is in order for the burglar, the whiteslaver
and the wifebeater send in their protests to the
film men, demanding that exhibitions of their methods
be suppressed.
It is to be hoped that the film companies will not
establish the bad precedent of acting avorably the
protest of the liquor dealers.
