Rulings on Cotton
 Futures Act Explained by Markets Bureau
sv A,,ool.tsd Pres,

Washington. March 12-To clear up misunderstanding, the bureau of markets
 tonight issued statement explaining it's recent ruling on the cotton futures act that purchases or bona fide sales cov- cred by old style contracts for the pur-
 pose of liquidation would be permitted until April 30 The statement follows:
 ''Fulfilment of old style contracts in accordance with other written terms. namely, by actual delivery or receipt of cotton or set off or ring out or cash settlement in the future month in which they mature is not prevented by the re-
 cent amendment to the cotton futures act
 Under the provision of the amendment
 as passed there is serious doubt as 10 legality of permitting the execution of any old style contract whatsoever after
 March even though such contracts be for the purpose of liquidating existing old style contracts. However. after confer
 ence with the treasury department it was agreed to help the trade in the situa- tion brought about by the unexpected passage and immediate effectiveness of amendment to make no objection to bona fide sales or purchases for the soio purpose of such liquidation until the con . clusion of April 30.

Sixteen Flying Fields

Washington, March 12.-Declsion of the war department to maintain 16 fly ing fields and three balloon fields as "a part of the permanent military estab- lishment was announced today by Act ing Secretary Crowell. The depart ment also has practically decided, MT. Crowell said, to store for possible fu- ture use the hundreds of elementary and advanced training planes used dur ing the war
 Secretary Crowell said department experts do not believe the training ma chimes will deteriorate, if carefully stored, even after period of years, nor do they believe that any decided improvement will be made in thest types which would hesitate their being discarded The flying and ball loon fields to be retained have not yet been selected. but it was explained that the actual training of aviators for the army would be held at only two fields. the other plants being held intact as q reserve Sites now leased by the gov ernment will be purchased and equip ment on hand retained

 paign is concluded far more readily
 than would longer term issue.
 q have not yet reached conclusion
 as to the rate of interest and exemptions
 from taxation which these notes will
 bear because this decision must be based
 on existing conditions immediately prior
 to the opening of the campaign
 T take this opportunity to repeat what have already stated that it is the in-
 tention of the treasury department to
 carry on the same kind of intensive campaign for distribution as heretofore. 1t would be a most unfortunate occur renee if the people of the. United States failed to take these notes. thus placing the burden of subscription on the banks, The business of the country looks to the banking system for credit wherewith to carry on it's operations, and if thus credit is absorbed to a large extent by the purchase of government securities,
 there will be many limitations placed
 upon the supply of credit for business purposes.
 Our merchants and manufacturers need ample credit for setting the wheels of industry in motion for peacetime pro duction and distribution, and the wage earner is directly interested in seeing that these wheels are kept moving al a normal rate in order that full employ ment at good wages may continue, ana where readjustment conditions have ne cesstated a slowing down of industry it is vitally important that activity be resumed and labor re-employed at the
 earliest possible moment
 "I therefore ask the American people once again to give their support to thelr government In order that this grea' loan may be an overwhelming success
 by the widest possible distribution.

Secretary Glass announced the dates tonight, together with the fact that short term notes maturing in not over five term bonds. The amount of notes to be offered was not disclosed, but it has been generally understood that the loan would be for a minimum of So0o ,oO0, 900. with the treasury reserving the right to accept all over-subscriptions.
 MT. Glass said the interest rate on the notes and the amounts to be exempted from taxation would not be determined until a week or two before the cam paign, as they would be based upon financial conditions at that time. It was
 ntimated, however, that the notes might bear interest in excess of 44A per cent, the interest rate on the third and four loans.
 After studying financial conditions in all parts of the country said MT. Glass, T have determined that the interests of the United States will best be served at this time by the issuance of short term notes rather than of longer term bonds which would have to bear the limited rate of interest of A per cent.
 NATURE IN FIVE YEARS
 ''The Victory Liberty Loan will, there fore, take the form of notes of the United States maturing in not over five years from the date of issue. Those notes will be, as were the Liberty Loan Bonds, the direct promise to pay of the United States will be issued both in registered and coupon form, and the coupon notes will be in final form and will have attached the interest coupons covering the entire life of the notes.

TO Be REPRESENTED
Weights and Measure National
Conference to Be Held at
Washington Next Month.

Miles Cannon, commissioner of agri-
culture, will be unable to attend the
national conference of weights and
measures officials to be held at Wash
ington May 21-24, but will designate
representative of some other state
to represent Idaho.
Weights and measures officials Of
the conference says in part;
The announcement with regards to
the United States will meet in annual
conference at the National Bureau of
Standards, Washington, ID. c., for four
days, May 21-24, inclusive, according to
a decision of the executive committee
of that association, which has powe.
to determine the date and arrange the
program. Tentative plans have been
completed and invitations to send rep
resentatives have been extended to the
governors of the several states and
the commissioners of the District of
Columbia. Due to the demands Incl
dent to the war upon weights and
measures officials. especially those of
the Bureau of Standards, some Of
whom are officers of the association
no annual conference has been held
since 1916. This has caused much i'm
portant business to accumulate, which
with the discussion of new conditions
arising as a result of the war, promises
to make the conferences this year one
of the busiest and most interesting
ever held.
The objects of these conferences are
to bring an exchange of views between
the men who are engaged in the i'm
portant task of inspecting weighing
and measuring apparatus and to Sc
cure greater efficiency and uniformity
in the work. When it is remembered
that each state legislates independent
ly on the subject of weights and meas
ures laws it will be readily seen that
there will be a lack of uniformity. This
condition did exist very largely before
the formation of the association and
one of the first things done was to en-
deavor to correct it.

AT THE PINNEY

IolIyanna, in comedy form, as de-
vised by Catherine Chisholm Cushing.
from the famous stories by Eleanor III.
Porter, appears at the Pinney theatre
tonight in the first of three perform
ances. Klaw and Erlanger and George
{. Tyler bring it with an exceptionally
able cast. 1t combines Viola Harper
as Pollyanna, who grows up in the
play from the child of IL into the maid
OF IL, and other players of fine achieve
ment, including George Alison, Herbert
Fortier, Blanche Douglas, Winifred
Hanley Master Billy Blaisdell, Fred
erick Carlton, Jack Morton and others.
The keynote of comedy is optimism
the briught outlook upon lfe-the
spreading broadcast Of good cheer and
happiness. And it is love story with
out any morbid sex problem. 1t is de-
scribed as a sunny play that refreshes
the tired business man and does not
make him i'll at ease If accompanied by
his wife, sister, daughter or sweet
heart 1t is significant that half
million copies of the "Pollyanna' stor-
les have been sold and the trade esti-
mate is that every book averages ten
readers, the equivalent of a 5000, 600
circulation. For the past two seasons
"Pollyanna" has had the positive en-
dorsement of all the larger eastern cit
les Of the United States. The organ
ization is now on it's way for it's first
