Of course everyone can have his own opin-
ion about the markets, but if | were an indi-
vidual grower and had cotton in the gin yards
today and needed cash | would not sell that
cotton on distress market but [ would Dor
row on yard receipts and hold every bale in
the gin yards until the eastern mills opened
up the market again.
The secret of the success Of this industry
(and it is no secret at alb is not so much the
exceptional price which this product is com
manding today but it is efficient farming over
a long period plus the cooperation of every
grower, large and small, as members Of the
general cotton growers association. If the
land is farmed efficiently it will not only pro-
duce this highest grade of staple but it will
Weld well quantitatively It seems to me that

perimeter of Notifications must be re-
duced, u gradual and toilsome pro-
cess, before the allies can get at Metz
Itself. He speaks of this circle of
! works as the "bastion, the round
fort" and this bastion is filled in
with woods that defy observation
from the air. Bazaine cssayed to
counterattack the investing Germans
but he showed little skill in his tao
tics and his army coon lost confidence
in him.
To despisc the enemy is folly. The
Germans have made their disposi-
tons, with that inventivcness and
thoroughness to be expected of them,
to defend Metz, also all the country
between Metz and Strassburg, which
are connected by admirable military
railways. There can be no doubt that
the Americans and Frcnc:, have the
use of powerful long-range artillery,
which can be brought into play when
their advanced positions are secured;
but it must be considered that the
object of constructing the outer for
tifications of Metz was to keep guns
of heavy caliber at comparatively
safe distance. In these works are
guns also of long range for defense.
Probably not until the perimeter is
preached ana taken at various points
would the allies be able to dismantle
Metz, the town, by continuous bonn
bardment. AS to pinching the Ger
mans out of it, that could not fail to
be long protractcd operation. Pro-
gress could be made south of the fort
ress by stiff fighting, involving losses
not slightly to be contemplated. The
Pont- -Mousaon is not far from the
frontier. But from the Vrhun works
to the German boundary in the north
the distance is thirty miles; that way
the road is harder to travel. For the
present it will be better to accept the
intimation that the detectives of the
offensive are limited. Nevertheless,
it has been Il success rejecting great
luster upon Icr3hings generGlship

army. BE sure that the pressure on
the enemy will be kept up, and that
he is now more bcwldered than ever
by the widely separated blows of the
allies from Arras to st. Mihiel.

crack. The Germans have profited
by studying the disaster that bcfell
Marshal Bazainc When they ac-
auired Metz they set about extending
its works many miles out ill n circle
from the citadel, and what modern

Red Cross Notes.
George L. Scott, acting general
manager of the American Red Cross,
has issued the following statement
in connection with the recent author
lied statement by the War Indus
tries Board Of August 10, that the
Board "ha3 served notice on spinnners
of hand knitting yarns that because
of the military needs of the Govern
ment no more wooden or wo1Sted
hand knitting yarns may be manu-
featured until further notice"

what our plans are for future knit
ting, and in justice to these workers
who have rendered such fine service
~ the past, we want to make the
present situation clear.
Sometime ago the War Industries
Board advised the Red Cross that in
view of the great shortage in raw
wool, the future production of knit
ting yarns would be very much re-
duced. We Immediately commenced
to purchase all yarns suitable for our
Emitting, ana as Il result we have to-
day IN stock or under order 400 900
pounds of yarn for distribution to
our Chapters. This, of course, is an
amount considerably less than we
used last year, which was approx
mately 100000 pounds. 1t is hop
ed, however, that in the near future
we may obtain some further supply
of yarn made from wool which is not
suitable for Governmental purposes.
Whilethe total amount of yarn which
will he available is being determined
We are studying the problem of util-
izing this supply to produce only the
garments which are most essential

ed, we will announce our fall pro-

BIG MELONS TO
Be CUT BY OMAHA
SAVINGS BANKS
Loan Association StoCkhoId'
ers Are to Receive Over
Million and a Quarter
in Dividends.

Stockholders in various Omaha
savings and loan associations will
reap a harvest of $l,3l9,100. repre-
senting dividends of nine concerns.
A gain of more than 100000 over
the previous year was made. The
Conservative Savings and Loan as
sociation will cut the largest pie of
dividends, amounting approximately
to 100000.
"The increases of dividends of the
savings and loan associations has
been due to the concerns maintain
ing strong reserve and continuing
to lend money at substantial inter-
est" Paul w. Kuhns, president of
the Conservative, declared.
Stockholders of the Omaha Loan
and Building association will be
paid $475,000, substantial increase
over the preceding year.
Most Successful Year.
Though hampered in way by var
ious phases of the war, the banking
concerns and savings associations
have had a successful year. With
the coming of the new year officials
Of savings associations see a bright
period in the financial world.
Stockholders of these concerns
have one more item to their credit.
that of earning an increase of | per
cent in some cases on money placed
with savings associations.
The Nebraska Savings and Loan
association will pay dividends
amounting to $65000, an increase of
approximately $4,000 over the prev.
ious year. The Occidental, paying
6 per cent on paid-up stock and 7
per cent on installment stock, will
pay dividends of more than $4,000.
More than $4,000 will be cut for
stockholders of the Bankers and
the Commercial Savings and Loan
associations, respectively. The
Home Savings and Loan will pay
dividends Of $4,000 due stockhold-
ers for the past year. The Pruden-
tial will divide $4,000 among the
stockholders. A gain of nearly
$4,000 in dividends has been made by
the State Savings and Loan associa-
ton during the past year.
Assets Show Increase.
In spite of heavier taxes and over
head expenses which have fallen
upon banking and savings concerns,
a remarkable increase in assets has
been made during the past year.
The Conservative Savings and
Loan association rounds out an
even half million dollars for a re-
serve fund, with the past increase
in assets. "As source of strength
and security, the Conservative has
attained the largest reserve fund of
any savings and loan association in
the west" Paul w. Kuhns, presi-
dent of the association said.
