march this morning. but with another
reunion around which to weave rem

veterans tonight started on their
journeys homeward.
They were withal a happy lot. al
though occasionally a touching scene
was enacted when an old soldier bade
good-py TO n comrade whom he knew
he might not see again.
For most Of the veterans the thir-
tieth annual reunion ended when the
parade disbanded shortly after noon
today a grand ball tonight attracted
some. but for the majority the one
big event OF the four days meeting
the march with their comrades Of the
sixties was over and they were ready
to return home The parade was es-
timated at seven miles In length. al
though the line OF march was slightly
less than two miles. 1t required two
hours and ten minutes to pass a given
point.
To the veterans who marched. how
ever. 1t was not parade but a mill
tary review. The gray hosts were
marching again before their comman-

they marched to battle.
Some OF the old soldiers were forced
to drop out OF the line before the
march ended. Others rode in automo.

BIRMINGHAM. ALA, Oct. S.-The
Federal reserve bank is not an in
stitution for lending money TO farm
ers in order that they may hold their
crops for higher prices. said w. p. G..
governors OF that institution, in a
statement here today.
Mr.. Harding. with D. c. Wills.
newly appointed member Of the
board. met here today with the di-
rectorato OF the Atlanta branch. and
discussed the movement to hold cot
ton for 40 cents 4 pound, which has
been sponsored by the American Cot
ton Association.
L. b. Jackson. director OF the Geor-
sia Bureau OF Markets. who said he
was speaking for 90 per cent of the
banks in his own State. made a plea
before the board for a more liberal
extension of credit to Southern
planters, claiming they needed the
money to pay off debts incurred
while producing the present cotton
crop.
Loans Pays for Supplies.
Mr.. Jackson asked that members
OF tho Federal reserve system be al
lowed to discount notes for money
which he said Is to be used in paw
ment Of wages. fertilizer and supply
bills. He said the loans would extend
for only few days and would not
materially affect the reserve of the
Federal system. He also declared
that a great majority of planters
were not seeking money simply to
finance themselves while they were
holding cotton Off the market. They
are hard pressed by creditors, he said,
and must have cash at once with
which to meet obligations incurred
this summer.
Mr. Harding explained that the
Federal reserve system was not es-
tablished to assist plans for holding
commodities of the market. nor is
