WAREHOUSES; FOR COTTON

That licensed warehouses for cot
ton are attracting increased atten-
ton is indicated by more than 800
inquiries recently received by the Bu-
reau of Markets. To secure licenses,
warehouses must comply with certain
requirements as to construction and
operation which are intended to put
the business of warehousing on a
firm basis. Uniform receipts are a
feature of the licensing and these
enlarge the field for discounting cot
ton paper. Another feature is the
reduction of insurance rates which
may result under Federal license.
Rates now vary from 25 cents to
$3.50 on 500 worth of cotton in
storage. Reasonable storage rates,
made possible through economics on
insurance and management would, it
cotton and so decrease the amount
it is said, encourage growers to store

ing cotton on the farm without ade-
quate protection.

PARTY FOR SOLDIERS

The soldier boys from Camp Black
lack were entertained by the Camp
Activity Committee on Saturday
from 5 10 6 a. m. at the home of Mrs.
S. C. McEachern. This beautiful
home never looked prettier than it
did Saturday. The house was beau
tifully decorated with midsummer
flowers, and "Old Glory" waved over
the doorway, always the prettiest
flag in the world, looked more beau
tiful than usual on account of the vic
tories it is gaining cover there"
There was a splendid program rem
dered consisting of music and read
ings. All did their part so well none
will be given special mention. The
boys seemed to appreciate it very
much.
When it was over, at the request
of the Committee, DR.. Anthony who
@ zone of the Boys" asked the boys
to sing, they did, and the ladies
thought this the best part OF the pro-
gram.
Then all went out on the beautiful
lawn to the ''melon cutting. The
boys, the pretty girls, the matrons
and the melons made an impressive
picture never to be forgotten, all for
mality was lost while fun and frolic
was the order of the finale.
"God SAVE Our Boys-Our Men,
Safe home bring them again,
Our Boys-Our Men.
Save them on sea and shore,
Save them midst lannon's roar,
Back to our arms restore
