HOLD YOUR WOOL

A committee of delegates from the
wool growing states togather with
of the farmers organ
izations, spent several days recently
in Washington in a series of confer
cnces with the Federal Reserve Board
warking on plan to finance the wool
crop this year AT the close of the con,
ference the Board authorized the fol-
lowing statement:
"a wool grower may ship his wool
to one OF the usual points of distribu
tion, obtaining from the railroad corn
Dany bill OF lading for the shipment
the grower may then draw a draft
against his bank for such an amount
is may be GGrccd Epcn by the grow
or and the Eank, secured by the bill
CT lading. The Federal Reserve Act
authorized any member. bank to ac-
.ccpt a draft secured in this manner
at the time Of acceptance, provided
that the draft natures net more than
six months from the time Of accep-
tance After acceptance such draft
bearing the endorsement of a men,
Der bank is eligible for re-discount or
purchase by the Federal Reserve
Bank, provided that it has maturity
of not more than three months from
the date cf re-discount. or purchase.
In view of the above assurance it
would seem that the farmers who
have pooled wool in Virginia cannot
do better than to hold the pools to-
gether for some time to come. Of
course, it is very difficult to proph-
,esy what the market is going to do
but it is common sense to believe that
if there is not an excessive amount of
wool in the world and the farmers in
the big wool growing states can fin
ance their holdings, that the market
will re-adjust itself in the next few
months At the present price it would
certainly seem that nothing can be
lost by holding.

81th Division Reunion

Virginia veterans Of the Eightieth
T. { IliG..c pi+ i2ion ar =" = 'i.dlu"
in large numbers to the question
naires recently sent to the seven
teen thousand members of the Eight
Iieth Division Veterans Association
concerning the probability Of their at
tending the First Annual Reunion to
be held in Richmond, September 4th,
5th and 9Th, and their wishes as re-
CARDS to the program; but R. Allen
Ammens chairman of the reunion com
lmittee, has urged that replies be for
warded at once by all who have not
done so. Many valuable suggestions
have been made he points out and
the committee is ANXIOUS to follow the
expressed wishes Of the veterans as
closely as possible. Robert T. Barton
and Richard P. Williams, Jr. are the
other representatives of this state on
the executive council -.-..
Considerable progress has been
made by the committee in arranging
| the reunion plans and there is every
indication that the First gathering of
veterans will be one Of the largest
and most successful of any reunion
thus far held. The six to eight thou
sand men expected to attend will have
the benefit of reduced railroad fares
minimum cost for board and lod
ging while in Richmond, little loss of
time-from work as the reunion to be
held on Labor day, and the opportun
Iity for meeting war time buddies, il
cluding Major-General Adelbert Gro
nkhite president of the association,
who is to attend.
Tentative plans made, following
receipt of about seven hundred re-
sponses from veterans, include sleep
ing the men, according to their old
organizations in local armories; pro
sponses from veterans, including sleep
viding food at normal rate, and
homes for the many friends they have
indicated they will bring. A parade
over a short route is probable, like
wise big old fashioned picnic Wis
it to divisions training grounds at
Camp Lee, short memorial service on
Sunday, permanent organization of
the association, completion of its his
tory, reunion of the smaller units,
showing of Official motion pictures
of the division in action and u big cen
Guiding reception and dance. The
fact that, those attending the Rich
mond reunion will be able to attend
the Veterans of Foreign Wars conven
tion in Washingtn on Sept. Sth, 9th
and 10th, is expected to increase the
attendance at each.

WILSON'S FIRST TERM

A FTER W4eglrow Wilson had been
4 4 teaching in the classroom for a
quarter of century that the presl-
dent ought to be more like prime
minister, "trying to cooperate with
other human beings" than "a mere
denartment -. hailing congress.
from some isolated island OF author
ity," the opportunity came to him 10
nut his theory in practice. When con-
gress met in extra session montn
after his Inauguration he di"<.,7.'s
and delivered his message in person.
reviving custom which Jefferson had
stopped only because he happened TO
have a poor voice and was an aWk-
ward speaker.
President Wilson adopted the atti-
tude of sort of member at large OF
both houses, sauntering unheralded
into the seldom-used presidents room'
which adjoins the senate chamber,
whenever he had any special business,
and talking things over in the open'
The president succeeded not by
arousing personal loyalty to himself
but by the force of his ideas. II have
had majority on the floor, but, " he
admitted, "never a majority in the
cloal1room"
Here are the outstanding items in
the peace record of the Wilson adj
ministration: Tariff revision, the first
income tax, the federal reserve act,
the federal trade commission, the
Clayton trust law, 80 arbitration trea-
ties, the seaman's act, the farm loan,

Americanization Lectures at the
Chautauqua

The purpose of the Radcliffe Chau
tauqua this year-is to tell the story Of
the United States Government and
it's ideals. The reason for the adop-
tion of such program is apparent
when one considers the condition of
charge of the Radcliffe Chautauqua
national unrest, and the committee in
programs in Washington D. c. has
decided that thorough understand
ing of the fundamental principles of
|Americanism is necessary to the prop
er adjustment of the many problems
troubling us today. Alarge number of
speakers have been occurred for this
purpose, and three are assigned to
each Chautauqua. The Chautauqua
Directors will lecture on the second
day, but there will be differant
speaker for each of the other two
days, and the probabilities are that
the following men will be assigned
us:
1st day, DR.. w. T. S. Culp, of Clev
eland, lecturer, educator and auth 7
Edward Tomlinson, of Georgia,
tnavelar, lecturer, a member of the
A. e. F.
These men are aIl splendid speak
ers, and have had a great deal of ex
perience in public work. They come
to the corcuit directly firm Washing
ton, D. C. and their lectures alone
will be worth the price of the season
ticket.

No Place Like Home

1t may be a mansion,
1t may be dump;
1t may be a farm,
With an old oak pump.
1t may be a palace,
1t may be a flat;
1t may be a room
Where you hang up your hat.
1t may be a house,
With holes in the floor
Or a marble hotel
With a coon at the door.
1t may be exclusive,
Or simple, or swell,
A wee bit of heaven,
Or one little-well.
Just kindly remember,
Wherever you raom,
Shakespeare was right, kid

the solitude of his study at the White
House in those anxious days before
the assembling of congress. He could
not divide the burden of such heavy
responsibility; he had to bear it alone
and without q precedent to guide him.
Should we. give further trial to
armed neutrality? Or should we en-
ter upon an Independent naval war
fare against the submarine menace to
our shipping? Or should we back the
allies with money and supplies. but
leave them to do the fighting? Or
should we join forces with them unre-
servedly, contrary to the historic pol
Icy of America to go it alone?
Those alternatives were in evegy
mind in that bewildering period, and
the president had to choose between
them in framing the policy to be SUBJ
mitted to congress-, He made the
bolder choice of going into full part
nership with the entente allies, pool
ing with them all our resources, our
man power, our money power and our
producing power.
The broad plan which he unfolded
and which congress quickly approved
assured in advance the success of the
great, unparalleled undertaking, and
he pushed it through to victory with
grim, unrelenting persistence. Ameri-
cans generally assumed at the start,
and the British government agreed
with them, that we should not have
to send great army to Europe, if in
deed any at all. But when it became
an imperative necessity to go at
double quick to the relief Of the bro
ken line in France, the foundation was
so we'll laid that we rose to the un.
foreseen emergency, building up in a
year and half an army of 100000
md ferrying 100000 soldiers across
the Atlantic.
The brains Of the country, all the
talents, were modified for the war
merchants and scientists: bankers and
railroad men, labor leaders and cler-
gymen, each being charged with the
task for which his training, fitted him.
''It is q race between Wilson and
aindenbusg," said Lloyd George, when
The big German drive surprised tho
entente and smashed through its
front in the spring Of 1918. Well.
whoever won the war, Hindenburg
lost that race.
The rest-the presidents Journeys
to Europe, the treaty and the battle
ever it, are history still in the max
Ing. Iany years must pass before
that extraordinary chapte:' in the story
of the presidency viii be finished and
may be told in the spirit Of historical
impartiality.

the repeal of Panama tolls, the ship.
ping act. the child labor law, the pur-
chase of the Danish West Indies and
federal aid for good roads.
The federal reserve law is poten-
TALLY as great a piece of constructive
legislation as any that has been en-
acted in this country. We were Also
lutely without a financial system, and
the money of the nation was in the
irresponsible control Of a few big
banks in New York.
Every attempt to remedy this situa-
ton had failed because private f1nan-
cial interests naturally wished to keep
their control of the money. The Aid.
rich bill in the Taft administration
proposed to give the sanction of law
to this private domination, but con-
gress refused to pass it.
The federal reserve act simply re-
versed the Aldrich plan and gave the
nation, through the government, the
control of its own money.
President Wilson was the relentless
driving force that pushed through the
federal reserve bill and the rest Of the
legislative program. 49,
The electric spark was omitted from
President Wilson'S composition, and
this omission denied him flowing
communication with his fellows, a nat
ural limitation which was confirmed
by the life he had led until he was
suddenly thrust into the hurly burly
of politics..
President Wilson has been lonely
figure in the White House. He came
to the presidency stranger to public
men, and no president can make new
friends-real friends. -
His reelection was one 81 the big
surprises of our presidential elections.
For several hours after the polls
closed he appeared to have been badly
beaten, and Hughes went to bed with
the assurance that he was president
elect
After all the great industrial states
which had decided TIE elections in the
past, except Ohio, had sent in reports
of Republican victories, the tide was
turned by the far West, which had
been almost forgotten in the. reckon
ing, but where the eenservatiVlA -
ests had less influence. At

rallied to him because "he kept US out

TEXAS WILL PLANT
LARGE ACREAGE REGARDLESS

DALLAS, Tex, April 26.-Farn'
labor shortage which is threatening
to become acute in Texas, has moi
caused farmers to reduce acreage
planted to any appreciable extent
according to S. d. Frazer, secretary

The wheat acreage will be reduced
as compared with last year, but the
cotton and corn planting probably
will be normal, he said. An increase
is likely in oats and small grain.
