Licensed Warehouses.

That licensed warehouses for cot
ton are attracting increased atten-
ton is indicated by more than 800
inquiries recently received by the
Bureau of Markets. To secure Ii
censes, warehouses must comply with
certain requirements as to construc-
ton and operation which are intend
ed to put the business of warehous-
ing on a firm basis. Uniform re-
ceipts are a feature of the licensing
and these enlarge the field for dis
counting cotton paper Another
feature is the reduction of insurance
rates which may result under Fed
eral license. Rates now vary from
rs cents to $3.50 on 500 worth of
cotton in storage. Reasonable stor-
age rates, made possible thru econo-
mics on insurance and management
would, it is said, encourage growers
to store cotton and so decrease the
amount of country damage" caused
by keeping cotton on the farm with
out adequate protection.

More than a hundred cooks in the
Fenway section of Boston, Mass,
have received expert instruction in
food conservation from one of the
city home demonstration agents. A
house-to- house canvass was made in

keepers to enroll their cooks for a
course of five lessons in war cooking.
Five classes were organized with rs
to 80 cooks in each class. The lee
lures were given in the living rooms
of different homes in the district.
In the South many women have sent
their colored cooks to the home dem
onstration kitchens to receive in
struction in carrying out the food
regulations. In Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
the agent is giving help to group

BEAST OF BERLIN"
NOTABLE PICTURE
Worst Indictment of the Kaiser Ever
Displayed on Screen.

Inner secrets of the life of William
Hohenzollern are to be revealed in
1.-THE KAISER the Beast of Berlin"
the super-film attraction at the Rey-
nolds Theater Thursday and Friday,
August Is and Is.
In a screen time of ono hour and
half the coarse brutality, the sensu-
BUSINESS, the ogotism, the selfishneSs
of the man who has sacrificed more
blood than has been shed thru the
war in all ages will be pitilessly ex-
posed in a picture that will bring
home every American just what
American boys are fighting for over
seas.
There is no guesswork or fiction
izing about the picture. 1t is found
ed on "The Private Lives of Wilhelm
II and His Consort," written by Hen
ry w. Fischer, from the private diary
of Ursula Won Eppinghoven, for nine
years hofdame to the kaiserin.
1t is not a war picture, but it
shows better than anything ever
written or portrayed the nature of
that beast America is fighting. 1t is
filled with action. 1t took New York
by storm and New York papers
agreed that it has done more to wake
the people of the metropolis to a
realization of the nature CT the task
that America is facing than any
other one agency.
The picture is not one of battle
fields, but it is complete expose of
one mans murderous, treacherous
and lecherous soul. 1t is drama of
mad, ruthless ambition, shocking
revelation of the secret instincts of
the most sinister character in all
history. 1t has been proclaimed an
absorbing, thrilling, dramatic story
that reaches the pinnacle of artistry
thru it's daring conceptions and opu-
lent stage settings. The photo
graphic effects are such as the world
has seldom seen.
