elements into form which your
blood can readily absorb and dis

The effect is quickly felt. Strength,

If you like thousands of others,

very slowly after influenza or pneu-

WAREHOUSES.

Now is the time that local or neigh
bcrhood warehouses, under the su-
spsrvssion OF the State Warehouse Sys-
Hem: would be of the utmost value TO
farmers who desire to hold cotton
nntil they can sell it at price which
would net them a just profit on the
cost OF production. There is not
sufRcient number of Gotten ware
il0ases IN the towns and cities to store
an or, ia fact, the larger part OF the
coffem that is being held and, under
the recent ruling Of the Federal Re-
serve Bank, cotton not stored in a
Warehouse is not a bankable asset.
The banks are permitted to lend mon
ey on cotton warehouse certificates,
5 but they may not lend on cotton held
on the farm or elsewhere, even though
the cotton is fully insured and the in
surance policies assigned to the bank,
along with a cnattel mortgage OF. the
cotton. Cotton IN warehouse is an
asset that can be easily used as ba-
SIS OF credit Cotton not in a ware
house is not a basis of credit and the
owner Of a hundred bales of cotton
cannot obtain money to pay debts or
Z to use fol. any other legitimate or
Secessary purpose without, selling all
sser part TO his cotton at any price
the nanpulators Of the market may
see ft to offer.

troops were forced to fire into a
crowd of disorderly negroes at the

killing one and wounding several, ac-
cording to an unofficial repors. The
authorities are now investigating the
trouble. According to the story cur
rent in town negro stevedores. negro
laborers and Nassau negroes became
involved in e general fight and the
guards were called out. Their COM

mills. or spectators with Warehouses
have on1y the interest and insuranc1
to pay during the time they hold IT,
cotton. and they thus have an advan-
tage over the farmers who c2nnoi
find a warehouse in which to store
their cotton.
In a sense there Is no discrimina-
ton against the farmer, as farmer
it is merely discrimination in favor
of warehouses Farmers have the
same right and equal opportunity te
establish warehouses as the mills o.
cotton merchants, and if they had, O.
would, individually or in cooperation
establish warehouses, they could hol(
their cotton and finance it through
the banks on the same terms as the
mills. But the crux Of the situation
is the fact. that the mills have ware
houses and the farmers have not
Therefore, the mills can get nlones
to buy cotton while the farmers can
not get money that will fortify then
financially to hold on to what the;
already possess.
: The hardship and the unreasonable
ness of the attitude of the Fedora
Reserve Bany in denying loans OF
cotton held On the farm is that b.!
placing ban or, such loans the farm
ers will be forced to throw their cot
ton on an artifcially and temporarily
demoralized market at prices that are
neither fair, just nor profitable, to re
pay loans made by the banks to the
farmers to enable them to produce
this identical cotton.
Now the question arises-if the FED
eraI Reserve Bank approves and per
naits loans to farmers to produce g
cotton crop, on no other security thar
the ordinary crop mortgage and the
credit and standing that the rarme
has with his local bank, why is it
not good banking and good bushes
and just as safe a risk to lend mono.
to the same farmer on the security OF
the cotton produced with the none
loaned by the bank before the seef
were placed in the ground? II {
growing crop, plus the reputation a!1t
credit Of farmer, is good security fo
a loan, then why is not the actual
cotton, stored on the farm, plus ar
insurance policy, plus the credit and
reputation of the farmer equally as
good, if not better security? That j:
what we cannot understand. Nor car
we understand by what process o;
reasoning the officials of the Fedora
Reserve Bank arrive at the conclu
