COX CHAMPIONS
OHIO STATE FAIR

Governor James M. Cox is an en-
thusiastic champion of the Ohio
State Fair. 1t is one of the great
institutions of the Buckeye COMMON
wealth that receives a great deal Of
his attention and cooperation. Being
q farmer. Governor Cox is able to
appreciate the true value of the fair
to those engaged in agricultural pur-
suits.
The governor believes that children,
particularly those of the rural COM
munities, should be sent to the fair,
where they will have opportunities to
observe and learn as in no other way.
Governor Cox has this to say of the
fair:
zone of the hopeful signs Of our
day and generation is the increasing
importance that is attached to such
institutions as the Ohio State Fair.
Living in state of almost boundless
fertility, necessity did not, for many
years, teach us the needed lessons Of
soil conservation and proper cultiva-
tion. Crops grew in the virgin soil
with little attention and money
might be made through methods that
have become impossible in recent
times.
"The intelligent farmer now knows
the basic principles of an industry
that is becoming more exacting each
year. The wise husbandman does not
expect luck when he Iplants a crop
He makes fortune come his way
When all follow the methods that oul
agricultural leaders are showing us
there will be no such thing as food
shortage, prices will be more reason
able and the profits Of the farm will
be larger than ever before.
"These facts directly join to the
State Fair. During the last week II
August every farmer in Ohio should
spend at least day there. The visit
to this greatest Of Ohio institutions
should properly not merely be a di
version from ordinary duties. TIL
expense should be provided for in tn
annual farm budget, just as money
for seeds, machinery, farm repairs
improvements and livestock are part
Of the budget. The few dollars spen
will return a rich profit.
ssIt is worth while to learn wha
the other fellow is doing. II is ex
tremely profitable to have the in

blage Of The high-class livestock, tn

Britain Clears
s1,oOO,ooO,ooo Gold
Through Ottawa
How Metal Has Been Han
died to Meet Payments
in This Country

Partial details Of the inner workings
Of Great Britain's great clearing house
for gold at Ottawa, established there
shortly after the outbreak Of the war
and through which approximately ST.
$1,000, 900 in the metal has passed on
its way to the United States to pay for
Allied war purchases, have reached
New York, arousing much interest in
local banking circles, where the British
handling of the situation has been
much admired.
Strictest secrecy had been thrown
about the gold operations until the
other day. when Sir Thomas White, the
Canadian Minister of Finance, told the
Canadian Parliament how the thing has
been done. "Since the beginning of
the war" he said, "the Canadian
Finance Department has handled for
the imperial government no less than
sl,000,0 100000 in bullion. The bullion
shipments have been made in British
warships coming to Halifax or Van
couver where they have been met by
officials of the department and taken
to Ottawa. In addition to this, the
mint at Ottawa has been increased TO
refine gold coming from South Africa
and Russia, until to-day it has the
greatest capacity of all gold retineries
in the world, capable of treating $780,
600 ounces, or s5,OO0,000, week, under
the chlorine process. In all, the amount
of treasure received at Ottawa since
the war began has amounted to twice
the amount of gold held in the United
Kingdom at the outbreak OF the war,
and much of this had TO be treated
here and reshipped TO New York"
Cheating the Submarines
According to Sir Thomas, many diff
ficulties have been encountered by the
Canadian Finance Department, owing
to the dangers of getting the gold past
the German submarine barrier. Wheth-
er any shipments were lost is not
known. and probably will not be known
until after the war.
A Canadian correspondent, in tell
Ing the story Of the gold shipments,
says that when the war broke out and
tho American bankers were wondering
how the British would meet their obli-
cations in the United States Great
Britain and Canada decided that the
easiest way would be to establish at
Ottawa a gold depository. This was
something that had never been done
before. In that way bankers on this
eide Of the Atlantic could pay gold due
to London through Ottawa and vice
versa, thus avoiding the risk of gold
shipments across the ocean in war time.
II is interesting to note the arrange
ment under which the Canadian Min
lister Of Finance is authorized TO re-
ceive gold in trust for the Bank of
England.
How II Was Done
The minimum of the transaction was
established at $4,000 shipments to be
made in kegs or boxes and state

course, has been the controlling in
fuence on bond prices for month
or more; in fact, ever since the
United States entered the war and
i: became known that large govern
ment loans would be necessary to
financing the undertaking. Bonds
OF all descriptions participated in

cases taking losses of 2 and points

ment that the amount was to be held
in trust for the Bank of England TO
accompany the shipment, which was TO
be addressed to the Minister of FL
nance and Receiver General of Canada,
Ottawa; the minister to be advised
also as TO whom the proceeds were TO
be paid in LONDON. On the gold being
received and checked, the Bank of
England was advised by cable of the
amount and to whom the proceeds were
payable in Lordon. The rate estab-
lished by that institution for gold was
rs. cd. an ounce for standard fine bars
and 76s. I'D. an ounce for eagles. II
sovereigns were accompanied by a
guarantee from the person shipping
same that they were correct standard
weight-namely, 1925 grains for SOW
ereigns and SLIPS for half-sovereigns
the bank would pay out like amount
in pounds in London. less Sd. an ounce
to cover freight and insurance.
The last gold that came to New York
from the Ottawa depository was re-
ceived here the middle of May. when
Great Britain shipped approximately
$50 900 900 in one week. That further
Imports from this quarter arc 70 be
expected from time to time despite the
credits advanced to Great Britain by
the United States government was adj
mitted by Lord Cunliffe. governor OF
the Bank of England, on his recent
visit to this country with the Balfour
"The British government
intends to ship to the United States
as much as she can spare" he said, ain
the hope Of reducing the rate Of In
terest here"
This last week bankers said they
would not be surprised to see more
gold released to tho United States,
owing to the stiffening Of interest rates
as a result Of the government war loan.

Corporate maturities next month
will amount to s62,000,O00, compared
with sec, 234,S14 in June. Of this
about 60 per cent consists Of railroad
obligations. The total of industrial
maturities is S17,7O0,O00. About one
fourth of the July maturities consists
of Rock Island securities, which
have already been taken care of
under the reorganization plan. Cor
porate financing since the Liberty
Loan operation began has fallen off
very sharply compared with preced-
ing months. 1t is expected that
greater activity will develop in this
market now that the loan is out of
the way, although only such cor
porate borrowings as are absolutely
necessary to the welfare of the
country will be encouraged by the
bankers.
