The Fourth Annual conference on Marketing and Farm Credits is
now holding its session in Chicago and 4 suggestion made by one of the
delegates in a paper that he read is of rarev value and might be worked
out to great advantage. In brief mis- suggestion is to the effect that at
the pre- ent time the packing plants were practically centralized, with
Chicago as the headquarters. Why should not these, he asked, be sepa-
rated and built all over the country, north, south. east and, west, and
operated by different groups of men Thus time, distance and expense
would be saved and competition made more active.
If this advice we're carried out, and it seems good, what a great op-
portunity is offered Reno, for instance, to establish a packing and stor.
age plant that could handle all OF Nevadas stock product and keep the
profits OF the industry a home, besides probably lessening the cost to
the consumer. As it is now most Of Nevadas stock oes some to San
Francisco, but mainly to Chicago and the producer is made to suffer the
loss of a vast amount of money by reason of long railroad hauls and the
charges of the middleman. A plant nearer home would ut out long
hauls and agents commissions. ~ cooperative plant would be the big
remedy.

If the Federal Reserve Board, acting within its province, had given
a private hint to banks under its jurisdiction that treasury note were II n
desirable and that they should be careful in accepting them for discount,
it would have fulfilled every necessary purpose. But it chose to give ut
a statement to the newspapers before that statement was communicated
to the banks-Wan Street Journal.
The action of the board va the very proper thing to do. And people
will not be long in realizing that the present administration is taxing
them into its confidence instead of the banks, as va formerly the case.

Eastern Republicans shudder at the possibility that Hiram Johnson

DENNY TO ATTEND
CONFERENCES ON
RESERVE TRAINING
Alabama University Head
Among College Presidents
Asked to Give Advice to
War Department

Washington, October 12.-Presidents of
10 colleges and universities have been
called in conference by the war depart
ment, preparatory to establishment of
systematic methods for training reserve
officers for the United States army in
those institutions. They will meet at
the war college here Thursday, October
II, early, for discussion with the army
general staff of military courses to be
organized in institutions desiring to take
advantage of provisions of the army re-
organization law.
1t has been estimated that the army
must maintain a corps of $4,000 partially
trained junior officers to facilitate or
ganization of an adequate military force
should the nation have war identified
with a power capable of attempting an
invasion. The main source of supply for
these officers would be institutions with
approved military courses and where mil
itary training under army officers is part
of students work
National Guard organizations composed
entirely of college students have been
mustered out of the federal service so
those men may compose the first incre-
ment of reserve officers to be drawn I'M
der the new plan.
College officials expected to attend the
conference include George H. Denny, Uni
versity of Alabama; E. w. Nichols, Vir-
ginia Military Institute; J. II. Kirkland
Vanderbilt university; Brown Ayres Uni
versity of Tennessee, and William Riggs
Clemson Agricultural college.

paid to the family of such soldier until
his discharge from the service.
The amount which may be paid to the
family of an enlisted man of the regular
army is the amount the soldier was con-
tributing to the support of his family on
June Is, 1916, the time of the President q
general CALL if the soldier was in the
service at that time. This amount may
be further reduced by pay in excess of
SIS per month which the soldier is re-
ceivng. The families of soldiers enlist
ing in the regular army after June IS,
1916, are entitled to the benefits of the act
from and including the date of enlist
ment
The benefits of the act do not extend
to the families of enlisted men of the
Porto Rico regiment or the Philippine
Scouts. The families of members of the
regular army reserve called to the colors
and who came into active service are
entitled to the benefits of the act from
the date on which the soldiers were re-
quired to obey the call.
All applications for the benefits author
lied by the act above referred to will be
made direct to the depot quartermaster,
Washington, D. c.
Settlement will not be hurried by the
employment of anyone to look after a
claim.

Lowndes Capital Will Go
After Farm Loan Bank

Columbus, Miss, October 12.-Directors
of the local Chamber of Commerce held
meeting last night and decided to send
w. III. Carter to Jackson Miss, to go
before the members of the farm loan
board when they meet in that city Oc-
tober 81, and present the claims Of Co
lumbus for a farm loan bank
The movement to secure a farm loan
bank for Columbus was inaugurated by
J. G. Weatherly, former secretary of the
civic chamber, but as Mr.. Weatherly ten
dered his resignation soon after applica-
tion for one of the banks was officially
made, and the position has since been
vacant, nothing has been done toward
collecting the necessary data to place
before the farm loan board. However,
as formal application for the bank had
already been made, it was decided to
send Mr.. Carter, who once served as
secretary of the civic chamber, to Jack
son to represent the city,s interests.
Several gentlemen filed applications for
the position of secretary but the di-
rectors, after having discussed the mat
ter at some length, decided to defer ac-

Miss saidee waiting for the first ball

Though Miss Saidee. the seven-ton hip
popotamus who does her summer touring
in the Ringing Brothers menagerie tent
knows nothing Of the big leagues she
never fails to show unusual interest when
her keeper calls play ball." For that
means she is to have her supper.
Aside from hay and carrots, Miss Sal
Gee relishes a cereal now and then. This
dish is made by mixing fine flake bran
with sweetened water. Owing to her I'M
wieldly jaws the giant river horse has
great difficulty in eating mush from a
bowl. So the keeper who looks after Miss
Saidee's spacious apartment, rolls the
moistened bran into spheres about the
size of apples. Then, taking a position
several yards distant from his charge, he
calls, play ball." At this signal the
giantess opens her cavernous mouth and
the keeper losses the bran balls inside.
The accompanying picture shows the
young lady waiting for an in-curve.
In addition to a wonderful main tent
programme opening with the gorgeous
fairyland spectacle, Cinderella" with it's
brilliant ballet of the will -the-wisps, -
Ringing Brothers are this season exhibit
ing the most varied menagerie of their
career. There are Al elephants headed by
the giant, big Bingo,' more different
species of the monkey family than have
ev err been shown before, baby offsprings
of lions, tigers, ostriches and bears, an
entire family of giraffes and immense
aviaries containing hundreds of birds of
splendid plumage., The menagerie tent,
housing Jos dens, is in itself almost as
large as was the Ringing main tent of
former seasons, while the main pavilion
offers more arenic acts than ever before,
as will be seen when the circus comes
here Monday. October %.

Mob of Virginia State
Guard Storms Fair Gates
and Near-Riot Follows

Richmond, October 12.-Several hun
dred Virginia national guardsmen from
state mobilization camp here, over
powered guards and gate keepers at
the main entrance to the state fair
grounds here Wednesday and swept into
the grounds. They were said to have
done no material damage, but charges
of insulting women visitors to the fair
were made. Policemen sent to the aid
of the guards were powerless to queIl
the mob and an armed guard from the
state camp was helpless.
Two of the soldiers were arrested
later and about 25 guardsmen attacked
policemen in an effort to rescue their
comrades. The policemen drew their
revolvers and succeeded in driving off
the crowd
The fair management announced to-
night it would appeal to Governor
Stuart for protection against further
invasion from the soldiers.

Mrs. A. G. Tanner Says Tan

Feet Again

After taking Tanlac I felt so much

what caused them. Finally they got to be
so bad and came so often / could hardly
sleep at night. / was so weak and worm
out could scarcely get about and never
felt like trying to do any of my work
at all. No medicine 1 ever took did me
any good and l kept getting worse At
last I was told I had heart trouble and,
of course, that worried me; but / didn'
believe / had heart trouble, and l de-
cided right then to try Tanlac.
II had been reading of so much good
Tanlac had done other people, I bought
bottle and told some of my neighbors
If it helped me I was going to take a
trip to Mississippi to see my kinfolks,
where had been wanting to go for
three years. Well, I just want to tell
you I got to take the trip and Tanlac
put me in shape for it. 1 took my first
dose of Tanlac on Friday night and on
the following Monday / felt so much
better I started for Mississippi and car
ried my bottle of Tanlac along with me.
AS I took the Tanlac the smothering
spells gradually disappeared. 1 have now
taken three bottles and haven't a sign
of the trouble left and I feel so well I
don't believe I will ever be bothered with
them again.

MARSHALL COUNTY
FAIR PROMISES TO
Be GREAT SUCCESS
Splendid Agricultural Ex-
hibits With Many Added
Interesting Features Are
Being Prepared

Albertvlle, October 12-(SpeciaI)
Great preparations are being made for
the sixth annual Marshall county fair
which opens here next Tuesday and con-
tinues five days. President Hogan Jack
son has devoted practically his entire time
for the past two months to a systematic
advertising campaign and all of Mar
shall and adjoining counties are flooded
with posters and advertising matter tell
ing of the great Sand mountain exhibit
ton. Every indication points toward this
years fair, surprising all others. A
large force of men are busily engaged in
putting the business and grounds in
first class shape. The premiums in every
department have been increased, and the
exhibit halls are already beginning to fill
up with the various farm products raised
on Sand mountain. A 50-mile motorcycle
race will feature the opening day and on
Wednesday singing contest will take
place when every community in the
county will send a class to compete for
the $50 prize. The Metropolitan shows
will arrive on a special train from Tupe-
10, Miss, Sunday, and will furnish at
fractions on the midway.
The high price of cotton that has pre-
vailed here this fall has put everybody
in a very optimistic mood. While the
crop is short, the high price of the staple
more than offsets this. Seventeen and
one-fourth cents pound was paid for
cotton here today, the highest in years,
and the farmers are selling it as fast as
it is picked and ginned.
The local football season will open
Saturday, when the Seventh District Ag
ricultural school meets the Etowah
County high school team from Alfalfa.
Coach Sewell is putting his men through
a hard weeks practice and local fans
predict an Albertville victory. The AL
bertville team this year is made up of
new men mostly, but Coach Sewell is
rapidly rounding them into shape and
will no doubt turn out another winning
team. The schedule this season includes

deliberations were conducted under the
impression of the high Importance of the
question, strictly upon the merits of the
case and with general desire to serve

AN agreement could not be reached in
