douglas anu InOhSS, INC i2ttSE Oh
whom withheld his resignation at the
request OF the national officials.
While It is natural that the people
OF this section should support Messrs.
Douglass and Meade in the light OF
the accusations made by President
White, at whom all the criticism has
been aimed and who seems to be the
storm center OF the whole affair, the
correctness OF this viewpoint is con-
flrmed by the interviews which Presi.
dent White has given out to the press.
II all his Official acts are OF a piece
with those he has himself expressed,
then II is only too apparent that he
is the wrong man to be placed at the
head OF an institution as vital to the
welfare of the agricultural interests
OF the west as are the federal farm
loan banks, from which so much
was to be confidently expected and
which have so woefully fallen down in
actual practice.
II can be easily understood that a
group Of men suddenly drawn to-
gether and with no previous acQuain-
lance should differ as to matters of
policy, but that one man should AFRO
gate to himself all the virtues and
could find in his associates nothing
but chicanery and fraud. is too much
to believe, even from Mr.. White.
Elwood Meade is a man Of nationa
reputation in the particular field
that he had made his life work. Tha
he could tamely submit to the die
tatorial methods OF a martinez such
as White has proven himself to be
approaches the ludicrous.
AS TO the charges of the collision
and graft that White has made
against Douglas sand Meade in the
appraisement OF certain lands in Ne
vada. they can be dismissed as alb
surd. The men whom he sent here
to appraise alfalfa lands are both
from San Francisco. II they had TAX
en- the trouble to inform themselves
they could easily have learned that
the water rights alone on lands in
the Truckee-Carson project are
worth $50 per acre on the govern.
inent's own valuation. II they will
tell where sos alfalfa lands can be
secured in Nevada they owe It to the
homeseekers who do not make theil
knowledge public.
| Mr.. White seems to be obsesseC
with the idea that only his integrit!
and devotion to duty is standing be
tween the government and thos
who would loot the treasury and fois
upon the Loan Banks a bunch o
worthless securities for its bonds
When a man of his limited experienc,
sets himself up to be both Judge ant
jury on the honesty and integrity O
all other men, II is natural to asl
upon what meat doth our Caesa
feed ti.at he has grown so great"

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
rs GOOD
(sy William n. Ranking

CHICAGO, July 13.-John @. Shedd
president Of Marshall Field & Com
pany. is very optimistic over the bust
ness outlook. Mr.. Sheed states very
clearly what women can do to aid bust
ness men to turn over their manpower
for government service. In an inter
view he said:
"War expenditures in this country
by our own government and by the
allies will release a huge volume oil
money. This money. will go in the
main to wageearners. many OF whom
have not been in the habit Of possess
ing such wealth before. and this mon
ey will be spent. This will greatly
stimulate retail selling, although re-
tail merchants may be hampered to a
more or less extent not only in secur-
ing merchandise but in the necessary
Establishments which will be involved
In the turning over Of men to the gov
eminent.
Women Can Do Much
"women can do much right now 10
relieve the strain Of conditions con-
fronting retail merchant and obviate
the necessity OF the government pass
ing stringent laws that will vitality al
feet the many privileges extended by
retail distributors. One OF the most
necessary and immediate steps thai
women should take Is to discontinue
the extrayagant and wasteful habit o
having merchandise sent home anC
then returning It.
They should make their selections
In the store, carry their merchandise
home IL possible. and, unless the mer
chandise is damaged, II should be
kept-not returned. They should bring
their children to the stores instead
of having the goods sent to the chill
dren.
THE adoption Of this plan by every
woman throughout the country would
effect great economies for all distri
butors, enabling them to release
large number Of men at once, anc
would not make necessary drastic gov
eminent laws or the forcing OF re
tailers to make extra charges fol thu
service of deliveries and calls for re
turned goods.
prices of all merchandise have al
ready made heavy advances. and 1t Il
not at all unlikely that they will eveI
90 higher, and largely for the SAM
reasons that made the heavy advance
In England and France. Labor will
be more fully employed. however. ant
at high wages. so that I believe tina
this country Is entering upon a perio
OF prosperity that has not yet bee
eQualled."
Marshall Fields business from jar
uary / to June 80, 1917, exceeded an
like period in the history OF thei
company. This also applied to tn
month of June itself.

JOHN =. CLARK CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

JOHN r. CLARK & CO.'S COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS-With the closing of Liver
pool, the sentimental effect Of market IN
agony owed supply shortage has been removed
siso straddIe support and possible team work.
Attention will revert again rather to the con
alteration of standard cotton facts and the
chances for adjustment after period Oh senu-
mental excuses are better accordingly.
1t is plain enough that the rapid and large
advance was not on the general supply sltua-
ton of cotton, but mostly on local supply con.
ditions in certain quarters more or less Isolated
by traffic conditions and therefore subject TO
manipulative control. While the isolation of
New York from supply in the south is not as
great as that of Liverpool, moving costs ana
ira fife conditions nevertheless such that New
York is not getting cotton easily or freely ana
might become shut out completely at times
The certificated stock there is only around To-
coo bales, and the market, therefore, open 10
easy control, while under the circumstances lit
tie effort would be required to put 1t up when
ever desired. II is the realization Of this ma
nipuiative position Of the northern market which
holds bearish aggresslveness in check by fear
of the power of the interests that control the
New York stock.
The stiff rally yesterday afternoon showed
this plainly.
Our market this morning opened about Is
lower, then weakened sharply on the absence
OF inspiring support, October selling from 2465
to 24.40 and breaking to 24O7 inside OF the
first hour. Selling is cautious for reasons be-
fore mentioned, and the market rallied to "A. 40
quickly on the first show Of f1rmness in New
York.
Maps shows elsudfness in Teras, Oklahoma,
Tennessee and the Csrolinas, with showers in
Oklahoma, northwest Texas and Tennessee, with
scattered showers over Alabama and the At
iantics. Indication are for partly cloudy scat
tered showers in the belt.
Current New York advices show that opinion
from outright ouliish one-ndedness has changed
to conceding the possibility Of the market, be-
coming q more two-sided affair.
