An Automatic
REIMBURSEMENT

So far as the strictly FINANCIAL END
of this outward gold movement Is con-
cerned it would seem to be to an eX'
tent self-correcting As the gold goes
out il would tend to produce higher IN
terest levels here and lower interest
rates abroad, and thus in time read
iustment would take place. Inc sec
ordo,v effect Of the outflow would be
q contraction OF credit in this country
and a resultant decrease in price levels
,vbich would in turn tend TO increase
exports and decrease imports. Interest
rates and the contraction Of crcdlt are
however. only two of the factors wnicE
affect price levels in this country More
important are wages and other factors
which will probably tend to keep prices
up for some time and thus continue TO
maintain a balance of trade against US
long enough to cause n large outflow
OF gold.
Although we have at present more
than our share OF the worlds gold stock,
and having no use for the surplus part
would be we'll rod of IT, it must be
horne in mind that il gold goes out
suddenly IN undue volume II will
have the effect of causing an injurious
contraction Of credit. Every dollar
Of gold exported means that the
structure Of credit built upon il must
be contracted. While an orderly con-
traction of credit with its resultant
gradual decrease in prices is to be de-
sired, it is self-apparent that Il the
structure of credit were to he torn
down at too fast rate and the move
ment was TO continue to an undue eX-
tent the result would be disastrous. 1t
would result primarily in the stoppage
Of industries, unemployment and gen.
oral business depression.
Remedial Measures
Are Needed
How these evil effects and dangers
are to be avoided is to-day one Of the
most serious problems that is confront
ing the American public. 1t is not \
problem for bankers alone, but is a
problem that vitality concerns every
merchant. manufacturer and working
man Of this country. We arc all equally
interested in its solution.

Sweeping Devices
Are Attached to Ships

An Atlantic Port, June 26.-A mine
sweeping device, calculated to pick
up and safely bring to the surface
any mines that may be in the, path of
vessels, is now being attached to a
number of ships proceeding through
the waters OF the war zone.
One of these devices was observed
on a passenger liner which arrived
here today. 1t is attached to the bows
and when let down a netted projection
extends dozen or more feet on either
side Of the ship. If mine is en-
countered it is picked up and brought
to the surface at safe distance from
the vessel.
The ship to which the device was
attached is on its first trip here since
April, 'ihen it was compelled to seek
a dry dock in a British port on ac-
count of damage from mine.
The explosion, officers said, tore
big hole in its bottom and killed one
member OF the crew. Water tight
compartments held and the ship was
able to make port without assistance.

America is mobilizing all its resources

In a speech before the military and

Root said:
81 do not think we fully appre-
ciated the difficulties under which
you have labored. A study Of condi-

difficulties as far greater than we sup
posed. That increases our admiration
for the courage, persistency and pub

two years.
81 observe with some distress that
there are influences operating in an
attempt to hinder your future efforts.
OF course, if the revolution were
now to proceed to the destruction of
all industrial enterprises that must
end your work and there are plainly
some malign influences which desire
to accomplish that result. I have,
however, the greatest confidence in
the sincerity of purpose and the
strong determination of the provi-

combat and counteract those infu-

for issuing $4,000 free government in

soldier and sailor during the war in

The defense council took up the
question some weeks ago and turned

ment of Commerce for investigation.

arguments showing the advantage of
working out a compensation system
before Americana lives are lost in the

Insurance companies, it is said, are
ready to approve the scheme if assur-
ed the government will not continue
in the insurance business after the
war. War hazards are so great that
few companies are anxious to insure
soldiers and sailors except at high
premiums.

Would Approve Morale.

At the end Of the war the govern
ment, it is suggested, could turn over
to insurance companies it's premium
war business, dropping the fiat $4,000
policies on all who leave the service
but continuing it on men who remain
in the army or navy.
One argument advanced for the in
surance plan is that it would improve
the morale of the troops. The plan
would provide also insurance for par
tial or total disability. In case of death
the insurance would be paid in INSTALL
ments whose amount would be deter.
mined by government board. Gov
eminent officials are convinced the
best way to dispose of the pension
problem is to- meet it beforehand.
Many officials hold that since many
will be drawn from occupations in
which government and state laws
compel compensation for injury or
death. the government cannot subject
a man to more risk than he encoun-
tiers in his usual occupation and not
make compensation if he is wounded
or killed.
The success of the government war
risk insurance bureau, which has paid
out large sums for ship losses is
pointed to as argument that the gov
ernment itself can bear the risk. The
$4,000 insurance given free would be
a direct loss but pensions, it ID ar
gued, would be much more costly in
the long run.

HARVESTING oATs-12 SUCCESS
TIONS.

1. Cut your oats with binder. A
mower is liable to waste rs to so per
cent. In this climate one six foot bin
der will harvest about eight acres per
day; not over 10 acres for the season.
2. Previously have your oinder all
ready and tested on grass, and bear
ings limbered up and crw edrilled, es-
pecially regarding threading and ty-
ing. Have an extra binder tongue and
several extra wings and arms for the
reel all ready beforehand for repair
ing breakages. Better work four hors
es to your binder, with one man to
operate and another to drive. Set bin
der to- make small bundles, to facili-
tate threshing Harvest early; our
own crop ripens about May 20.
8. Cut as soon as the grain has
turned yellow-just as soon as it has
passed the milk stage, the dough stage
is alright. Don't wait for full ripe
ness.
4. Do not cut grain while wet from
rain or dew
5. Rush cutting all possible.
6. Cut low to get long straw. This
keeps mildew from grain. Southern
soil is damp.
Z. Shock with only four bundles to
the shock and reset fallen shocks ev-
cry day very importantly.
s. If you have to buy a thresher
get enough capacity. Small threshers
prove expensive.
8. Thresh as soon as possible, but
do not thresh grain wet from either
rain or dew. Thresh from field. Do
not stack, unless unavoidable. Fresh
oats are liable to sweat Ours keep
uninjured in shocks two to four
weeks.
TO- Examine straw stack constant
ly during the threshing TO assure no
grain left cn straw.
IL. Use light wind in fan; take
out plenty of chaff with grain and so
save the light oats. This reduces
waste, the oats cure better, the light
stuff adds fine feed and the horses
eat more slowly. Defer retaining
oats until needed,
IL. Store in bulk and not over
three feet deep. Don't sack. Be sure
TO thoroughly examine grain daily
and turn with shovel if there is any
indication of heating. Watch closely
for at least three weeks.-J. S. Nc
