COTTON FUTURES
BILL DES|AbLE
Clarence ousley Discusses New Bill
Before Congress, Says Better
Than Old Law.

have been asked for my opinion
OF the pending cotton futures bill.
which has been favorably reported by
the house committee on agriculture.
10 take the place OF the present
statute. which has been declared un.
constitutional. As the subject is one
OF deep and vital interest TO cotton
growers. | take the liberty OF here
summarizing views | have expressed to
several inquiries.
The pending bill differs from the
other mainly in section IL. which is
so amended as to permit American
exporters to hedge" in foreign mar
kets. The amendment vests discre.
ton in the secretary OF agriculture to
recognize substantial" compliance.
instead OF literal compliance. by for.
eign exchanges with the rules OF the
department fixing grades, standards
and methods OF trading. The opinion
Is expressed by the most intelligent
Of our cotton merchants who have
both American and English connec.
tons that Liverpool will be able to
satisfy the secretary with substantial
compliance.
There Is an addition to the law. sec
ton ia. which undertakes to subject
foreigners who deal on our exchanges
to the same rules to which American
daelers are subjected. Whether that
can be done in practice remains to
be demonstrated. but the purpose Is
good. and | am hopeful that the ef-
fort will succeed. In any case. the
new bill permits foreign hedging, and
that is the most important point. !
am fully satisfied that the old law
has cost us the export Of at least
/. 200. 900 bales by American exporters
this eason BY so much rs these
American exporters are hindered In
their dealings. by SO much was the
markets deprived OF a stimulating
factor.
The new bill maintains all :he i'm
portant reforms effected by the old
act and is free from its impracticable
and more or less hurtful requirements.
Hence II is greatly to be desired and
| hope our people will communicate
with their members OF congress and
ask them to give careful attention to
the subject. CLARENCE 0USLEY.

Roads about Pekin are so bad. and
many OF the streets are so narrow that
automobiles are little used. and ever
carriages are not as satisfactory as
rickshaws. which can worm their WAY

THE WIND FROM MAINE

A wind that's from the rocks and sea
and scented by the pine
Sweeps through the sycamores today,
and where sequOlas line
The ranks Of giant sentinels that guard
the western slopes,
The balsam OF this briny breeze brings
heavy hearts new hopes.
The mountains and the rivers cry the
message that is Names
To men whose pride was shattered,
and their desperation wanes;
Again their hearts are raised to look
the future in the face
For Maine has been the clarion that's
heartening a race.
Twas shame that sunk the souls Of us
to depths we never knew
In days our flag was honored In the
harbors where 1t few,
When nations paid us homage, for
they knew our hands we're white,
Ere blood of our own countrymen had
stained them like a blight.
And now again our songs we sing of
deeds that we must do
To make the dream that passed away
come marvelously true;
For the sturdy souls that breathe the
pine have brought to life again
The faith that fills q nations heart
that feels the wind from Maine.
