Mr.. C. S. Williams is in New
York City this week but he is keep
ing in touch with the Red Cross
movement Of the week in his home
parish. Mr.. Williams is q member of
the firm of the F. B. Williams Cy-
press Company of Patterson, per-
haps the largest and richest cypress
company in Louisiana. In a telegram
received today by Mr.. Harry Will
Jams of Patterson, brother of the
sender and also a leading member
Of the big lumber concern, Mr.. C. S.
Williams suggests that his brother
make an offer of one dollar to be
contributed to the Parish Red Cross
Chapter for every dollar given by
the many employees on their pay
rolls. He also proposes that every en-
ployee give one days pay to the Red
Cross and offers to pay this amount
for any employee wishing to contri-
butte and permit the payment back
into the company in monthly INSTALL
ments running from July 1st to Octo-
Der 1st. Mr.. Williams points out that
if such methods are generally favor
I ed by employers, st. Mary Parish
will again be the banner Red Cross
Parish. His telegram follows:

1OF you ana 8C Cne same time HeAP
the RED CROSS.
Franklin and other towns in St.
Mary Chapter are planning big
things for this week but have with
held their plans from other parish
units.
Harry p. Dawson, chairman Of
the Red Cross War Council and the
man to whom President Wilson has
entrusted probably the greatest
humanitarian problem ever placed
on .he shoulders of private citizen,
outlined at his home near Glen Cove
yesterday the tremendous plans
which he and his associates are for
mulating for the alleviation of suf-
fering on the battlefield and for the
material and spiritual encourage
ment of our war-weary, war-stricken
allies.
Hitherto Mr.. Davidson has had
little time to devote to interviewers.
Always doer, not talker, he has
rarely expressed himself on any
topic for publication. His place as a
master of organization in business
and finance has been gained by sill
ent, hard work. Yesterday, however,
he was moved by his conception of
the necessity of awakening and
arcusing the American people to
their responsibilities in the great
project Of re-energizing and vastly
extending the. work Of the American
National Red Gross to sketch with
broad, rapid strokes the size of the
task he has in hand and of utterine

notwithstanding some manifesto
tions of conservatism born of a dis
position on the part Of the ultimate
consumer to economic. and the at
tention accorded the liberty loan, the
trade movements proceed at a pretty
lively rate and the activity of in
dustry is unabated. Concededly, the
big propelling influence is govern
mental orders which extend out to
a myriad OF lines. and because OF the
operation of the priority rule which
DEGREES that the government must
be served first. the result is that
stocks of essential merchandise are
short, a fact that large civilian In
terests only appreciate when about
to lay down orders.
While cooler weather has enliven-
ed retail trade in seasonable wearing
apparel, distribution in general fails
TO broaden in degree commensurate
with employment and record wages,
presumably because high prices die
tate economies and also because saw
ing by small investors to partici-
pate in the liberty loan has been

ment Of Agriculture to report that the
money value OF food and cotton har-
vested this year Is about $4,000 .eo
greater than the money value Of the
harvest last year.
The year 1915 was a banner year for

While this increased money value of
farm products Is sure greatly to stim-

maintain confidence and even to in

suit of II will be revealed by and
by when the farmers receive payment
In full for r,their crops. Reports have
come to New York from some Of the
large agricultural sections intimating
that the farmers are more than max
ing good the losses which they expe-
rienced some years ago on account OF
low prices and a falling of in pro-
duction. The farmers are to have
billions OF money. II they maintain
their customary practice they will in

farms, buy the highest type OF labor
saving machinery, come to be among
the chief patrons OF the automobile

money to place upon deposit in their

they receive for this years harvest

which Identifies the third call by the
Secretary of the Treasury for an
other loan from the American people
The first liberty loan involved a great
deal of instruction to the farmers, for
not many of them were accustomed
to buy bonds. How greatly the farm
ers supported the second liberty loan
Will not be known until the details
of the subscriptions are made public.
But it is the common belief of the
government at Washington and OF
leading bankers here and elsewhere in
the United States that when the peo-
pie are again asked to lend some
billions to the government. the farm
ers of the United States will be found
to be the heaviest subscribers.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE

New York. Oct. 26.-Dun's Review
tomorrow will say:
Temporary suspension OF activities
through semi-holiday obseryances, and
some interruption by storms, have not
obscured the fact that the movement
toward increased business has con-
tinued. With comparatively few con-
spicious exceptions, the trend has
been steadily forward with the ad-
vancing season. and in some import
ant branches such as in hides, leather
and footwear the Improvement has
been noteworthy.
Accompanying the gain m volume OF
transactions, there has come decisive
recovery in prices where formerly
there were clear signs Of yielding,
and in certain commodities Lot sub
ject to regulation more new high
records have been established. For
the great strength Of some leading
markets, the explanation appears in
the rising costs OF production through
wage increases and dearcr raw
material, and the extensive and grow
ing war requirements are a potent
influence in the same direction.
But while governmental and other
buying has brought revivin- activity,
and in some instances better prices,
inability to obtain adequate and ur-
gently needed supplies in many cases
prevents still further expansion.
This condition is not confined TO any
one industry or trade, or section OF
the country, but is practically gen.
eral. and though capacity is being
extended wherever possible and the
works are straining for augmented
outputs, the labor and fuel shorta q
limits operations and deliveries are
often delayed by the obstacles ir
transportation. Summed up. the un.
certainties of the period make for
continued caution in forward under.
