DEFENDS HARDING

Montgomery, February 1-(speciall So many idle rumors have been float ing aronnd over the country distorting the remarks made by wsP. c. Harding. governor of the federal reserve bank ing system. that the following signed statement was issued by J S Wanna maker, president of the American Cot ton Associauon4 sunday
 Life would be a perpetual Tea huht if man were obliged to run down all the fnnuendoes. inveracities, insin- nations and suspicious which are ut- tered against him. So many false statements have been issued by peo- pie who are desperately anxious to disaDprove the last false statement is sued by them in which it was claimed that Gov W. P. c. Harding in his re- cent address before bankers had claimed that cotton was being hoarded and intimated that loans on cotton migh tbe restricted by the federal re- serve system.
 T have read every word of this ad- dress in addition to this have letters in my possession from Gov. w. P G. HardingT there is not single sen tence or word in this address that would in the slightest degree even in dicate that it was claimed that cotton was being boarded and loans would be restricted In addition to this. Gov. W. P. G. Harding's letter speaks for itself, Governor Harding is reeog- nized as a man who stands at not only the head of one of the greatest bank ing institutions in the world, but a man who is highly respected and hon. ored on account of his great ability, his devotion to the upbuilding of every section of this great nation He knows no section, but uses his every effort at the head of this great institution, and using it for the purpose for which it was intended, the upbuilding of the entire nation. and not for the purpose of favoring any section or throttling any special industry. Governor Hard- ing is a great banker and business man, and it is well said:

RARE AS POETS

Rare almost as great poets. rarer, perhaps, than veritable saints and mar tyrs, are consummate men of business. A man, to be excellent in this way, ra quires a great knowledge of character with that exquisite tact which feels unerringly the right moment when to act A discreet rapidity must pervade all the movements of his thought and action He must be singularfy free from vanity, and is generally found to be an enthusiast who has the art to conceal his enthusiasm.
 "In justice to the producer as well as the federal reserve board 1 feel that "A lie should be trampled on and extinguished wherever found. I am for mumigating the atmosphere when I suspect that falsehood. like pesti- lence breathes around me. Although the devil be the father of lies. he seems like other great inventors, to have lost much of his reputation by the con- tinual improvements that have been made upon him.
 "Governor Hardingfs letter to me reads as follows:
 ''I have received your letter of the 9th instant and enclose for your infor- nation a copy of my remarks at the meeting of bankers here on the 9th instant. l do not think that you will find in them anything to warrant the construction which was placed upon them in, some quarters. The board rec ognizes the importance of a larger pro : auction of farm products of every kind, and is doing everything it can legiti- mately. to encourage and not discourr age production. As production depends upon the market..it follows necessarily that any impairment of a broad open market will tend to discourage pro- duction.
 q 1t has always been my belief that manufacturers of cotton were really benefited by steady level market, as free as possible from violent fluctua- tions, for as long as the market is subject to radical price changes they are oblified to hedge by dealing in con- tracts on the cotton exchange and are often required to put up large sums as margins in order to protect their con- tracts. I do not believe that the ulti- mate consumer was ever benefited by having supplies of raw cotton fall into a few hands or by concentrated con trol of the market. If it were possi- ble for a small group of men to ac- quire ownership of all the cotton in the country. they would demand a large profit at the expense of the con- sumer. The best nrotection to the con- sumner, in my opinion, lies in the own
  which means a widely scattered own ership. and in steady sales of cotton month by month by the producers, thus supplying the demand as it arises. Such condition would give the producers the benefit of the average price of cot ton for the year and would prevent violent fluctuations in price. IT would al the same time, think, give the con- Nsumer a lower average price than he would get if producers were obliged to sell their entire holdings during pe- riod of two or three months to pur- chasers strong enough to hold for such prices as they might choose to fix. EXCESSIVE LOANS NOT MADE
 In order to enable the producer to market his crop in an orderly way it will be necessary in, many cases to extend him some financial assistance. but this does not necessarily mean ex- rCfx l. !. t.l. cf

went their Thanksgiving dinners that
they might subscribe the money thus
saved to the Near East Relief, were

dancers and to buy champagne for the
entertainment of Allied officers, II

sular court hearings. The revelries
were said to be for the purpose OF
assuring the vises OF passports with
out tedious delays.
The hearings had to do with six
Near East employees, who are on trial,
charged with graft and embezzlement.
Colonel Coombs. director of the re-
lief commission. which preferred the
charge. was grilled by the defense for
approving the expense OF the wild
dinner"
"Did you know that champagne
flowed and that Russian singers and
hootchy-kOotchy dancers entertained
at this dinner" the defense asked.
"Yes," replied Colonel Coombs. "but
there was only one dancing girl"
Colonel Coombs disclaimed any
knowledge OF purchases and consump-
ton of whiskey. stating that he and
Colonel Haskell controlled the eau
casus branch OF the relief work.
Henry Mason Day. president OF the
American Foreign Trade Corporation,
testified regarding the purchase OF
1000 small automobile tires from Col
onel Coombs for $12 apiece. This he
termed a fair price.
DIR. w. w. Peet, who has been
missionary here for 30 years, and who

testified that, although ne was chair
man Of the executive committee, the

LONDON. Oct. England 10 draw
ing In its belt for a hard winter.
There arc manifest signs Of the reae-
tion from the furry OF postwar
prosperity predicted recently by Otto
IL. Kahn. the banker on his return
TO New York from q tour of Europe.
The signs are here. many or them
Intangible as yet. but some are only
two concrete.
There are zoe, 900 unemployed ex,
soldiers still, despite all the efforts
of various organizations TO place
these men who have won the best
consideration OF the nation.
Now and again appear reports OF
small plants closed down or larger
ones cutting down their staffs.

accompanies uncertainty Of outlook.
BUSINESS sTAGNANT.
From Manchester and Liverpool. the
industrial and shipping centera, come
reports OF pessimism. Business is
stagnant compared to the level OF
sales 4 few months ago.
Such bits as these tell the story of
BritAin's first realization Of q bad

that is always sure is the discussion.

play q big part In the economical
aspect of the troubles that arc now
ahead"
There has been no visible break
here in the steady climb in the cost
of living. The widely advertised
crash in the cost OF such things as
clothing in America two or three
months ago raised hopes that the
turning had arrived here. But the
official cost of living figures Of two
succeeding months showed the usual
8 to per cent increase over the
month previous.
CAPITAL TURNING.
Capital is beginning to turn. Dur
ing the period when foreign and do
mestic trade seemed able to stand
price increases, wage demands were
met, after the usual pickering, with
wage increases. Today many manu-
factuIers with an eye on the order
books are ready to stand and fight.
Tho world still cries for products OF
all kinds but manufacturers claim
that the limit in prices which the
wcrld market will stand has been
reached and that they will close
rather than meet further wage
claims.
There will be great increases in the
unemployment lists. The upward
climb Of wages is bound to be
checked. But AZ yet there Is not WIS.,
ible even the start Of decline in the
cost OF necessities which should be
the companion of approaching bard

How to Gain Flesh.

A simple but sure way to increase
the weight, 1t is asserted by several
well known physicians, is to take regu,
larly for several months, one or two 8
grain hypo-nuclane tablets after each
meal. These little tablets have the
distinguished merit OF increasing the
red and white blood corpuscles, aiding
digestion and promoting assimilation
ana absorption of the elements in the
food which go to make blood and solid
tissues. They are obtainable in sealed
packages from we'll stocked apothe'
cary shops.
