JOHN D. SMALLEY

live en- and on. He viii be missed in a great many
circles. his death regretted by a host of friends and
admirers. No man could be associated long with John

The Remedy

Inc Remedy :,
The only apparent remedy for all
these troubles is to build a great
number Of small community gins in
every locality. Since our power lines
are being extended to every section OF
the valley, this Will very materially
reduce the cost of installing these
ginning plants.
They should be built in small units
and at the least possible expense to
secure efficient service and to reduce
tn cost Of operating them to the low
est possible amount.
The control and ownership of these
gins should be, and forever remain, in
the hands of the actual growers OF
cotton. The association has plan
that has proven efficient in other To-
calities, whereby these gins can be
built without any immediate invest
ment. We will be glad to take the
matter up with the growers in any
community wro are interested in pro-
viding adequate ginning facilities and
bettering present conditions.
Grading Service
Bring in or send in samples of each
bale of your cotton as ginned, to be
graded by one of the associations eX-
pert graders, for proper stapling and
classification.
Do not wait until you are ready to
sell your cotton. This grading serv-
ice enables you to know the kind and
quality of work you are getting at
your gin. 1t is very necessary that
each grower have a careful check on
all these items, as a difference in
grade may mean quite a loss.

COTTON SITUATION IACCURATELY \
REVIEWED BY AR|NNA-CAL|F. ASSN

We have recently put on an addi-
tional service for the benefit of our
membership, by the issuance daily, or
at frequent intervals, of a cotton in
formation letter to each of our diff
.erent branches and auxiliaries.
This letter contains the very latest
nfarmation, lengthy extracts from
cotto nand government publications,
copies of letters and news matter
from the national headquarters of
he American Cotton association and
l large volume of general matter of
interest to the cotton grower who de-
sires to keep fully abreast of the
simes.
The cost. of sending such volume
IF matter to each member would be
prohibitiye.
1t is, however, sent to each officer
of our local auxiliaries, who will keep
them on file for the information of
our members in the particular district
where they are located, and in the dis
tricts where the local officers have
not yet been elected we have desig-
mated some well-known member who
is known to heart and soul for the
association, and for the organization
these members being des-
ienated temporarily as acting secre-
tary.
In addition, many copies of this
daily service, which is gotten out by
the publicity department, are sent to

lished, to the great aid of the organi

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. - WheI
Woodrow Wilson goes away from the
White House next March, his fidus
Achatas, Man Frida, and Admira
Crichton will go too. hich is only an
other way of saying that Joseph P
Tumulty will be leaving the arena to
take seat in the bleachers.
"Like master, like man." sis the
proverb. In the case of Wilson and
Tumulty it is true with variations.
The variations may be due in large
measue to the fact that while his chief
is Scotch-I Irish, Tumulty is just Irish,
or as he himself puts it, Irish with
reservations"
But in the main, Tumulty's mind
has always "gone along with Will
sons. Certainly no president ever
had a more devoted and loyal lieuten-
attn. 1t is not to be wonder at, there
fore, that if Wilson aroused violent
antipathies, Tumulty did, too. But
here another variation comes 20
light For Wilson, cloistcred as he
was, taciturn and rather stern, yearn-
ed for people to love him; and while
he reused warm admiration, deep re-
spect, almost reverence in large num-
bers of his countrymen, he was not
the manner of man to win other men
the way Tumulty can win them. It's
the Irish again, probably.
Anyhow, though the presidents
secretary has been almost as much
cussed and discussed in the eight
years he has been in the White House
as his chief has been, he has also won
many friends by his wit and the genu-
inc warm-hearted humanness he can
display on occasion.
Tumulty reminds you of somebody
who does lot of bathing in cold
weather. He's round and pink and
happy looking. He's an incorrigible
Joker. AS mimic, he would make a
fortune in vaudeville. He wrote a
speech during the campaign which a
score of hard-boiled newspaper COR
respondents agreed was a gem and
which later moved an audience 70
tears. He's politician "a hours a

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 1S.-Of all
the problems which will confront
President Obregon when he as
sumes the leadership of the Mexican
nation next December, none will de-
mand more urgent solution than the
rehabilitation of the country's bank
ing system.
Thus far Provisional President De
La Huerta has left the question al
most untouched, evidently believing
the problem to be so immense that a
short-term Substitute" government
could not tackle it.
De la Huerta, however, has divided
the question into two salient angles:
First, banking law must be enacted,
establishing rules, for the guidance of
both native and foreign banks; sec
ond, a national bank of issue must
be founded
Around both features of the issue
revolves the necessity of providing
some form of reimbursement for the
banks which suffered enormous losses
during the revolution. Little prog
ress has been made toward the draft
ing of a banking law. Several tenta-
tive projects have been drawn up, but
none of them has passed beyond the
embryonic stage, and it is not likely
any definite action will be taken until
after Obregons installation.
As for the establishment of ma
tional bank, the treasury department
has at lease prepared project on
the subject, which may be presented
to congress at an early date. In this
connection it is recognized first that
the. institution must be a bank Of
emission. Mexico today is one Of the
few countries of the world-perhaps
the only one-Which is on so thor
oughly gold basis that not single
piece of paper is in circulation. One
issue of paper after another, during
the revolutionary period, has either
deprecated or been repudiated to such
an extent that the public will have
nothing to do with any money except
that made of metal.
BY establishing national bank of
issue, the government hopes to re-
store public confidence and return
paper money to circulation. This is
one Of the main features of the plan
for the new bank. This institution,
according to the present proposal, is
to be known as "The Bank of the Mex
lean Republic" and is to be the sole
bank Of issue during a period Of SO
years. The capital of the bank will
be 100,0O0,000 pesos, Mexican cur
rency, to consist of million shares
of 100 pesos each, half of which is to
be subscribed by the government and
the other half by individuals, local or
foreign, and by other banks. The
project permits the institution to
issue notes ranging in denomination
from five to one thousand pesos, the
TOTAL of these notes not to be more
than 100 per cent in excess of the
J9nk's gold reserves nor more than
three times its capital. The bank
may establish branches throughout
the republican this way the govern
