serve board have already been read with great interest by bankers of this city and probably by bankers of other cities. That they should have been made by the federal reserve board Is taken as good evidence that this central body is keenly awake to the necessity for Improvements in the federal reserve act.
 Those who drafted the federal reserve actor some of them at least-were con- fident that the law would put an end to what was called the control by the so-called money power of inl- portant banking institutions. The an- swer first made to those who had this intent in mind was the choice of Benja- min Strong Jr., as governor of the fed- eral reserve bank in the district of which New York city is the center. This was supplemented by the choice of Pierre Jay as one of the officers of the bank. Both of these bankers have been prominently associated with powerful banking insti- tutions. Benjamin Strong. Jr., was the president of bank of which the officers and stockholders were exclusively bank CTS. If any institution reflected the con- centration of banking power the Bank CTS Trust of New York city did. yet it's president was made governor of the fed eral reserve bank here and his manage ment of the institution has been regarded by the federal reserve board as success ful. So, also. Paul Warburg became federal reserve member by presidential appointment although he was identified with one of the greatest international banking houses.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE STOCK MARKET

New Orleans, February 20.-A fur ther decline in the price of cotton was registered in the local market last week as the result of bear pressure and liquidation from the long side In spite of considerable realizing of prof it's by recent sellers the market hung around the low levels on the weekend and closed at a net lass of S9 to 63 points. 44
 Much of the selling was based on re- ports of easier spots in the interior of the belt and the forecast of large planting for the new crop in Texas as the result of the failure of the wheat crop in many counties of that state. Bulls claimed that the market was badly overso1d. At times steady tone was derived from the covering opera tions on the short side. Toward the end of the week some improvement in the demand for spot cotton was noticed, especially from foreign sources. but there was almost continual comment to the effect that spot owners were lib- eral sellers of hedges in the contract market.
 The political situation was still against values, although there were times when it seemed as if the mar ket had little more to fear from this quarter. This week the controversy over submarine warfare will be watched as closely as ever, and any unfavorable turns in it will be almost certain to be followed by fresh selling. So far as international oplitics is con cerned the market is much more sus- ceptible to bearish than the bullish in fiuences.
 News from the belt concerning new crop preparations will have increased weight this week and anything of im- portance bearing on the acreage ques- tion will be eagerly received by the market. Weather conditions will be- come of increasing importance from now on and will soon be more or less of factor
 The spot situation is considered by many to be the determining influence for the near future and its develop ments are bound to have their effect.

|ACT|ONOF GOVERNOR |B|LBO |S CENSURED
Grave Fears Felt Over Ac- tion of Executive in Over
 riding the Courts

Jackson, Miss, February a.-(Special.) ment in Mississippi since Friday morn ing, when it became known that Gov ernor Bilbo had ordered troops out at Clarlsesdale to enforce his commands ir spite of an injunction by the courts than has been experienced here since the days of Ames, the carpetbag governor ot -50 years ago.
 A few days since Governor Bilho had a report to the effect that Sheriff Baugh of Coahoma county was short in his ac- counts four years ago to the tune of about s10.oo0. removed him from office and named one MT. Fisher as his sue cessor. Baugh refused to surrender the office, claiming he was not short, and Fisher was enjoined from taking the of flee in an order Issued by Justice Stew ems of the supreme court. Meantime Gov ernor Bilbo sent Adjutant General Scales to Clarksdale, ordered out the local mli- tary company and told General Scales to take charge of the office. which he did forcbly at midnight The friends and at- torneys of the sheriff claim that was after the injunction had been served; the governor and his lawyers declare the mil itary acted first.
 The governor stands charged with the usurpation of authority and with using the military to override the judiciary, and it is declared that impeachment proceed ings would oust him. On the other hand the governor stands pat on his action declaring he was abundantly justified but so deep and loud have been the grumb- lins that his attorners have found it nec- essary to issue lengthy statement de- lending his course.

This Big Business Opportunity Comes To GlnneFies As A Result ot The South's Turn To Wheat Crow ing And The Invention oi The tMid9 et" M aFveI SeIi-Contained New Process Roller Flour Mill Which The Ginner Gan Operate All The Year Round At Great Profit From Very Start In Connection With His Plant Without Previous Flour Milling Experience.
 The cotton ginners' long -looked-for opportunity for keeping their invest ment in power, buildings and site in profitable operation the year round, instead of only two or three months in the year, has come to them at last. And it comes as one of the best money making manufacturing opportunities the South affords, as it is adaptable to almost every community.
 It comes as the result of the South's turn to wheat growing, the demand for more flour mills in the South to grind the wheat and the invention of the f" M idg ct" Marvel Self Contained Roller Flour Mill which can run the year round at good big profit without other than the same operative skill required for ginning cotton.
 Many Already in South.
 Hundreds of these Midget" Marvel flour mills have already been installed in the South and nearby states and are being operated with great success and profit in connection with manufacturing plants, grain elevators, ginneries, or as individual milling plants, about 75 in one Southern state alone.
 A South Carolina man writes he is clearing $30.O0 day with his 25 barrel Midget" Marvel Mill, installed year or so ago. One in Kentucky reports a clear profit of S4,628.26 in eight months. Others write that they are making as much, or more, for the reason that the superior quality of the flour made on the " Midget" Marvel enables them to quickly and easily command the flour trade in their respective localities at the highest market prices.
 The operator of this Midget" Marvel Mill possesses every advantage in his own locality, because the :" Midget" Marvel makes "A Better Barrel of Flour Cheaper" than any other mill, big or little, as both the manufacturers and operators claim, owing to the fact that it is a short system process m1il-a complete roller flour mill condensed all in one machine requiring less labor, less power and less capital or attention to operate than any other mill.
 It does not have lot of expensive overhead machinery in the way of sifters, spouts, lengthy elevators, and the like, which not only add to the cost of installation, but to the cost of operation, as is the case with long system process mills. The whole thing is so simple and so condensed that it can be all on one floor if neces- sary. Another thing-the wheat does not have to travel more than 28 to 30 fleet in the Midget" Marvel, as against 500 feet or upwards required lin a long system process of milling. Then, again, the bran and flour meet at only one operation in the mill and are lot carried together all over the build ng, discoloring and killing" the flour, as in the long system mills; hence the flour is freer from dust and dirt, winter, richer, more salable, more alatable, possessing the natural flavor

SHEFFIELD

Sheffield, February 2O.-(SpeciaD By an act of heroism in which he risked his own safety, freight brake man, J. w. Johnson, of Sheffield, on the Memphis division of the Southern railway, saved the life of a fellow em- ploye, Yard Clerk Claude Stevens, at Corinth, Miss. MT. Stevens had stepped on a track in front of cut of cars approaching him. Seeing the peril of Mir. Stevens, Mir. Johnson, knowing that he did not have time to call to him to get off the track, ran against him and bodily knocked him off the track. He was Just in time, for the leading car of the cut grazed his side, but he was not hurt and MT. Stevens was thrown clear of all danger. A great deal of praise has been extended MT John son for his effort in saving MT. Ste vens from serious, if not fatal, in- jury.

DINNER PAIL NOT
 LARGE ENOUGH ID
 SATISFY THIS MAN
Was All Run Down and Couldn't Eat-Takes Tan lac and Is Hungry All
 the Time-Feels Fine

"I want to get a bottle of Tanlac for my wife, for it has helped me so much that I am certain it will get her over her trouble in short order" said T. w. Hudgins. 323 Forty y-sixth street, Birmingham, who has been employed as car repairer for the Southern rail- way for 30 years.
 "Honestly I've never taken anything in my life that helped me as much as this medicine has,, he continued in a statement to a Tanlac representative a few days ago. My stomach seemed to go back on me and got heavy and run down, and when I'd get home at night my legs would feel like they weighed ton.
 i've been working for the Southern for a long time, and up to couple or years ago I always had good health and put in a full days work every day I don't remember having to play off on account of sickness until a It. tie over a year ago. l began to notlee that I would be tired when 1 got up in the morning and that my appetlte was not good.
 q got so I would eat only part or my lunch that I carried with me in the morning. This was not natural, Tor pe- fore that I would eat it all and be hungry for supper; but I began to get so I didn't want much supper when I'd get home and I'd be that tired my legs seemed like they weighed a ton.
 q was nervous and restless, too, and I couldn't sleeep at night. lost some weight but I did not mind that as much as laying awake at night and wishing morning would come. My stomach gave me trouble and I was constlpated so that my food just seemed to poison me and make me miserable.
 I-.k Nnd some good doctors to treat me, but nothing helped me until l got hold or Tanlac. I've taken three bottles Of It now and l am mighty glad to tell you that I just feel good all over. My ap- petite has picked right up, and l sure don't carry any of my lunch back home or throw it out eitherr for it seems like I am hungry all the time. l get LID in the mornings feeling fresh and stout, and I can put in full time on my job.
 II now weigh 149, which is my regu- lar weight that I'd kept up to for a good many years until had tbls spell. My stomach is in good shape, but 1 am going to take several more bottles before I quit it. My wife has been losing her appetite here lately and 1 am getting this for her, as l haven't the slightest doubt about it's fixing her up in just a little while. We think it is 8 great medicine and are telling all our friends about it."
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham eX- clusively by Engene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug company. It is sold in Bessemer by the Pegram- Patton Drug company; in Eisley by the ID. w.. Morris Drug company.

The cost of a barrel of flour milled on this Midget Marvel short sys- tenn, using the same operative skill as in ginning cotton, ranges from 40c to soc. The net returns to the owner average 200 per barrel of flour.
 According to actual results sub n1itted by numerous " Midget Marvel millers, it is possible to make 4215c net profit on each bushe1 of wheat ground with the " Midget" Marvel.
 It logically follows, then, that the Midget" Marvel Mill, installed in connection with a ginnery and driven by same power outfit, affords the ginner his long -looked-for opportunity of keeping his investment in power, plant, and site in profitable operation the year round, instead of about 100 days.
 The Midget" Marvel Mill owner in any community possesses every advantage over the foreign miller. The foreign mills have to pay from 40c to soc per barrel to market their flour in the small towns. But it is different with the Midget" Marvel miller; he produces flour at a greater profit than is possible for owner of the large mills and, therefore, has a wider margin of profit to work on to- gether with the preference of the com munity for a local milled flour, in his favor.
 More Mills Needed.
 More mills in the South are abso- 1utely necessary because of the in creased acreage of wheat this year and the promise of still greater increase in the future. This wheat must be ground by local millers and the profits made by them, or be shipped off to foreign mills for them to make the profits.
 Tn the cotton growing states the increase acreage of wheat this year is reported by the U. s. Government

The deposed sheriff has begged his friends to be patient and await the action of the courts. It was stated here that the friends of Sheriff Baugh were arming for trouble, and that 500 men had been sworn in as a posse to get rid of the troops. but that was later denied. very much to the relief of all parties con cerned, and so far as known today there has been no serious trouble or personal encounters.
