Store Cotton Carefu17u/

1t will be worth many thousands of dol
lars to Georgia if farmers and others con-
cerned will follow the seasonable advice is
sued by Commissioner Brown, of the State
Department of Agriculture touching the all
too frequent practice of leaving baled cot
ton exposed to the weather. Says the Com
missioner in an official communication on
the subject:
"After farmer has toileo and sweat
ed to produce cotton, it is the height of
folly to leave it exposed. Every time the
rain falls on it, the grade of the cotton
depreciates and the value goes down.
We are earnestly urging our farmers,
first, to place their cotton in warehouses
everywhere, and preferably in bonded
warehouses; second, if warehouse stor-
age is not available, to protect the cot
= ton on their premises"
OF all farm products cotton figures most
extensively, perhaps, as collateral for credit,
and for that reason if no other should be
stored and handled with special care Yet of
all crops it is most poorly conserved. When
it begins moving marLetward in the autumn
thousands of bales are dumped helter-skel-
ter along streets or near stations, without
regard to fire hazards, with the result that
. smokers mat or an engines spark often
kindles distressful conflagrations Losses on
this particular account aggregate scores of
millions of dollars a year. Add those caused
by deterioration in the vast quantity of cot
ton left exposed to wind and rain, and the
total becomes almost staggering
Low prices do not in any wise lessen the
Importance of Commissioner Browns good
counsel in this matter; rather, the present
marked condition makes it the more impera-
tive that every possible penny be saved.
And quality, of course, determines in large
measure the returns from a store of cot
ton, be the prices low or high. 1t is greatly
to be hoped that agricultural and business
leaders Throughout the South will urge more
careful storage of the crop.

ELECTIONS AND SCHOOL
DISTRICTS
By DR.. Frank Crane

Some things which we accept as matter
Of course, simply because we are used to
them, or because they are done by officials
of a government too remote and complicated
for us to hope to change, are, when we stop
to think of them and hold them up in the
sunlight of common sense, utterly absurd
Such, Cor instance as reading a bill three
times aloud in legislature, or listening to
long report from the treasurer in a meet
ing, when we each have a printed copy in
our hands.
But particularly the recent election sug-
gests it's joke. Have you noticed the little
voting shanties set out in the street?
And have you thought of all that compli-
Gated machinery of electoral districts, and
judges, and the big blanket ballots that no
body can possibly analyze and understand in
the few moments given him in the voting
stall? ...
How simple and easy it would be to get
rid of all this rubbish and get the vote of
the whole people of the United States at
any time, is shown by a suggestion made by
DR.. B. F. Wooding, of Montclair, N. J.
Briefly, his ideas may be summed up as
follows:
CD Permanently make the voting district
identical with the school district.
(2) Make the school officials judges of
elections
CD Issue a voting license to every one
recognized by law as eligible.
(4) All voters names to appear on bull
letin board conspicuously displayed perma-
nently on the school house, and constantly
amended as voters remove from one district
to another.
(5) This will do away with the necessity
of days of registration.
60 It will save d vast amount OF time
and expense and useless red tape.
CD It will furnish a means by which the
will of the people can be ascerta1ned at any
time, on short notice, on any question, local
or national.
(8) 1t will keep representatives in con-
slant touch with the electorate.
CO.. Great issues can be decided, unmixed
with personalities or irrelevant matters; as,
for instance, Prohibition or the League OF
Nations People can enforce their will when
the representatives fail.
CID 1t would go far toward doing away
with the ridiculous party system, by which
the people are regularly confused anu
cheated.
(12) 1t would tie up the business OF gov
eminent with the public school, and thus
promote the training of children in the art
of democracy, concerning which now they are
in ignorance before they graduate and in con-
tempt after
(13) Honest representatives could thus
quickly find out what their constituents
want, and dishonest ones be exposed.
Elections are now complicated and diff
ficult, which plays into the hands of the cor
rupter element, and Of party machines.
Whatever makes elections simple, easily
understood and easy to consummate, and
whatever brings the government into close
touch with the whole people, makes Tor the
health, progress and permanence of a democ-
racy.

"A Sign of Progress, And
a Means to Prosber;tv
T HE prompt over-subscription of tn

" HE prompt over-subscription of the
six million dollar stock of the Fed
eral International Banking Company
is a cheering sign of the present and is
kof large and prosperous import to the flu
kpre.a
1t means much that in times like these
the banking and business interests of six of
the cotton-growing States should provide,
without difficulty or hesitation, the financial
sinews of a six million dollar enterprise in
the realm of foreign trade. OF this sum,
Georgia, Louisiana and Texas have sub
scribed one and half million each; Ten
nessee eight hundred thousand; Alabama,
five hundred and fifty thousand; and Mis-
sissippi, five hundred thousand These
quotas would not have been raised so
readily, indeed they would not have been
raised at all, if the States concerned had
lacked business leadership of a forward
thinking and substantially resourceful char
acter. The successful establishment of the
Federal International Banking Company is
thus of itself happily significant.
When the concern is fully functioning,
as it will be in the near future, it's value
to Southern agriculture and industry. and
through them to the regions every material
interest, will become more and more richly
manifest. With the facilities for handling
export paper and for providing funds
whereby dealers do business with for
eign buyers who require long-term credits.
the new company should do much to pro-
mote the overseas sale of products on
which Southern prosperity depends. I'M
portant among these will > be cotton, the
market for which would have been
stimulated long ago, had there been means
of financing the purchases which certain
European countries needed and wished to
make, but from which they have been de-
tered by lack of credit accommodations.
1t is expected, moreover, that other prod
ucts,7 such as lumber, rice, sugar and GER
tain manufactures, will profit materially
from the export banking institution.
1t appears likely, indeed, that the pres
emit enterprise represents merely the begin
ming of a line of service that will grow con-
tinually more extensive. The South, like
the country at large, must look more and
more to export markets if her industries
are Ito expand and multiply and her pro-
ducers reap fair reward. AS means to
that end, institutions like the Federal In
ternational Banking Company will prove
invaluable.

ECZEMA AND WORRY
By H. Addington Bruce


TIE had been doctoring for eczema for
II several months. His case was an ag-
~ gravated one and most resistant to
the ordinary methods of treatment. Finally,
at skin specialists suggestion, he became a
patient in general hospital.
There he was visited not only by the skin
specialist, but by psychologist connected
with the hospital staff. The specialist ex-
planned that for a time the psychologist
would assist in taking care of him.
The psychologists first move was to get
on a friendly footing with the unfortunate
eczema patient. Daily he< sat and chatted
with the latter for few minutes, seemingly
with no other purpose than to make So
cial call.
Actually he was intent on creating in the
patients mind a belief that here was a man
who took a real personal interest in him.
And pretty soon the patient, naturally reti-
cent, began to talk about himself as he prob
ably had never talked before.
He was tormented, it appeared, by family
worries. He was anxious about his fnan-
cial future. He carried, in fact, an overload
of real and imaginary cares Concerning
these he spoke with unwonted freedom be-
cause of his listeners sympathetic attitude.
From his listener ne received advice that
helped still more to the easing Of his mind.
And, to his astonlshment, as his worry abated
his eczema troubled him less and less, until
one day it was entirely cleared away.
You have been cured" the psychologist
told him, because you have learned to con-
quer worry and to face life bravely. Your
eczema at bottom was nothing more than
an outward manifestation of the anxious
state of your mind"
AS eczema often is, Incredible though such
a statement may seem. In the words of
DR.. James ]. Walsh, the New York neuro1o-
g1st and medical psychologist:
probably every skin specialist has noted
in number of his cases that first attack
OF eczema came after a period of worry or
excitement, or sometimes followed directly
on fright.
when relief from the condition has been
brought about by treatment, relapses occur
during periods of business worry or family
anxiety or mental stresses of one kind or
another Unless business worries can be re-.
moved or family anxieties allayed the cure
OF eczema becomes a difficult matter
moreover, men or women who worry
about their eczematous condition apparently
prolong it,"
This Is something worth remembering if
you happen yourself to be victim of &C.
zema. Worry may be the sole cause of your
eczema, and in any event the less you worry
the speed1er your cure will be-

Stint;ng America S Vital
Interests IN Av7

- ~ y xHCSTSSCS I'll 1U5OL7OH
oNE of the astonishing things which he
1 has found in his visit on this side, says
- the great Dutch inventor, Fokker, is
Americas seeming indifference to her rich
inheritance and rich opportunity in aviation
Nc observer, foreign or native can fail to be
struck by. the fact that the nation of the
wright brothers, with its long and versatile
record of inventive genius, is now doing
comparatively SO little in the development of
aeronautic service.
The 4Postoffice Department, it is true, is
achieving substantial and brilliant results
in the establishment of air mail lines one
OF which reaches across the continent; and
the Army is scoring some notable records
as in the recent flight from New York to
Alaska. But these ENTERPRISES have been
carried forward in spite of Congress rather
than by it's encouragement
Repeatedly in the last year so Admin
fstrative heads have urged adequate appro-
priations for the military and laval as well
as postal air service, but with Little avail. In
fact, the funds allowed for this purpose are
short of what is needed for surveys and ex-
periments. much less for large programs of
construction. Where the United States de-
vote some fifteen or twenty million dollars
to this important sphere of national interest.
countries FAR less well off in resources and
bearing far heavier burdens from the war are
expanding five ten times that amount.
This is not economy; it is Grass misman-
agement. and if persisted in, may prove AS
costly as it is haZa "dous. How imperative is
the~need of a larger appropriation appears
from the reported statement of General
Menother, CT 4ef of the Air Service. that "ev-
eryarmy airplane purchased during the war
wilsobe rated as unsafe for flying by next
July"
Aside from its military Importance, which
can hardly be overestinated, aviation is so
rich in possibilities to the cOuntrv's Deace-
time interests, to commerce. and industry
and general progress. that on this account
alone it should receive fail measure of
Federal announcement On the same pril-
ciple that the Government maintains bu-
reaus of research and experiment in sundrv
fields of the nations natural resources. such
as soil. forests. mines and streams, it is
proper that the immensely significant realm
of aeronautics should be given national at
tentione through the postal service and the
Army and Navy. This is me- tier involving
Americas most practical and most vital in
terests and demanding that Congress take
due action
