BANKERS AND corroN-rHE
REAL TROUBLE.

The result OF the bankers confer.
ence In Galveston last Saturday.
which was attended by bankers from
eight cotton-growing States. was an
agreement to cooperate in move
meat TO keep the cotton from all be-
ing dumped on the market at once.
The plan Is TO try TO perfect arrange
ments through the Federal reserve
banks TO loan the farmer money on
his cotton so he will not be forced 70
sell. II was the consensus Of opinion
OF the bankers present that II the cot
ton could be kept of the market and
sold gradually. cent a pound to the
price OF the crop could be added. The
plan Is reasonable. to say the least.
and Is well worth the effort. II can
only be carried out. however. by per
feet cooperation by both bankers and
farmers. The bankers cannot do Il
all themselves no more than the
farmers can do Il by themselves Both
must work together.
We failed to see, however, one word
IN the proceedings of the meeting OF
any agreement on the part OF the
bankers that they would use their
individual efforts as well as the ef-
forts OF the financial institutions they
represent 20 make the cotton crop.

the classic productions thus far pre-
scented to the public.
For many years the original play
has fascinated the imaginations and
swayed the emotions of thousands of
audiences. Fer the most part it CLOVIS
with Titanesque luxuriance of coloring,
as BELTS a picture of life in the reign
of Nero. However. this exciting world
of intrigue and luxury covers but a
portion of the film, the play also re-
yealing, through its Christian charac-
tiers, the reverence and saintliness and
the serenity of unquestioning faith.
AS an emotional drama The Sign
OF the Cross is a masterpiece and the
production is generally conceded to
be one of the foremost classic films of
America.

MAKING MOST OF THE PHL0x
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.


Nearly everyone can grow phlox and
have what Is regarded as great sue.
cess, yet few. even among professional
gardeners know, how to coax the great
est growth and beauty out Of this
plant. +
Hardy phlox can be tiansplanted at
any time, preferably III the fall or
early spring, by dividing old clumps,
or they can be grown from seeds plant
ed very shallow as soon as they are
ripe. When allowed to become dry
they are more or less disappointing
In termination, SO that we may say
that division is the best method. II
string divisions are taken early in
April and planted about Is or 10 inches
apart and the tops are pinched back
when about inches high to make
them spread and not Wore than two
or three growths are allowed, they
will give very large head of bloom
with maximum of tlorets. Give
clean culture and an occasional dress
ing of manure or manure water.
BY this method of culture the phlox
becomes an exceptional flower when
compared with the big clumps that
most people allow to grow. To get
best results they should be planted
new each fall CIR spring and give plenty
Of water while in bloom
When big masses Of plants are de-
sired, about one-third of the stems
should be pinched back. This will
produce a much longer season OF
blooming.
