real patriots than there are ami
Paul Reveres also, the South
Pittsburg Hustler willing. "enum-
crates the Sequatchie Valley
News, with praiseworthy fervor.
The South Pittsburg Hustler is
willing enough. We donot know
what particular brand of patriot
was Paul Revere, but our recol-
lection is that at first approach
of the enemy he jumped on a
horse and rode away to tell the
other fellows to go to the front
and fight. We find no record in
Revolutionary War history that
Revere, or any of his progeny.
figured in that conflict in any
other fashion. This brand of
patriotism evidently commends
itself to the Sequatchie Valley
News, = South Pittsburg Hust-
Ter.
What Grass ignorance! If you
'donot" know, why don't you
find out? Revere was under or
ders from Warren, of the Com
mittee of Safety, to alarm the
country that the British were en-.
route to Lexington and Concord
to seize the arms and ammunition
known to be stored there by the
patriots. And it was danger
GUS mission for the roads were
patrolled. Another messenger,
William Dawes. was another
patriot sent out on the same mis-
sion, which, according to the
Hustler, was to ride away and
tell the other fellows to go to the
front and fight. Dawes had
the longer route and the safest.
Revere arrived at Lexington at
midnight and half an hour later
was joined there by Dawes, and
soon after both rode away for
Concord, accompanied by DR..
Samuel Prescott. Half way to
Concord they were stopped by a
picket of British officers, Re-
vere's second experience with
the enemy that night as he had
been nearly captured a half mile
from Charleston Eeck, and this
time he was captured, and inter-
rogated with a pistol to his head
and threat to blow his brains out
if he does not give a true answer.
He boldly avows his errand and
tells them they are as good as
dead men. His captors growing
uneasy take him back towards
Lexington and cutting the saddle
girths of his horse release him,
and he returns across the fields
to Clark,,s house in Lexington,
and it is supposed he took part in
the fighting that day if he got
anything Ito shoot with. as he
seems not to have been craven.
The reason why he was sent
by Warren was two fold, there
were no telephone or telegraph
lines, nor even the South Pitts
burg Hustler, so he had to send
man Ito ride away and tell the
other fellows to go to the front
and fight" If the Hustler had
been in existence then. it would
not have been hardly necessary
to have sent out a messenger to
alarm the embattled farmers
as they, would have seen it in
the Hustler. :" Warren's mis-
take seems to be that he and Re-
we're and Dawes did not get in
the road and shoot down the
British themselves. There were
only about 300 of them. and that
would have only been 266 a. apiece,
by capturing the other two, as
they couldn't slaughter two
thirds of a man each.

SINCE the passage Of the United
States warehouse act in 1915, the bu-
reau of markets, United States de-
Partment Of agriculture, which is
charged with the administration of this
legislation. has received approximate
" 3OO applications for licenses. Half
AZ these applications were received
within the past year.
The advantages that accrue from the
federal licensing and bonding Of ware
houses storing agricultural products
such as cotton, grain, wool. tobacco
and fiaxseed are Just beginning to he
fully appreciated, say specialists Of
the bureau Of markets. A continuous
educational campaign has been con
Quoted to accomplish this result. and
the bureau confidently feels that a
steadily increasing number Of applica-
tiSns will be received.
Aids In Financing Crops
The chief purpose Of the act. which
10 not mandatory. n TO establish a
form Of warehouse receipt that will
~ easily and widely negotiable as de-
livery orders or as collateral for loans,
and therefore of definite assistance
IN financing crops. BY licensing and
h0ndlng warehouses the integrity OF
the Jpceipt Is ASSURED as evidence OF
the condition. quality. quantity and
ownership Of the products stored
These receipfp are approved as collat-
esal for loans made by the federal
farm loan board: and because Of the
high value Of the paper. bankers gen.
erally are enabled to rediscount their
loans to greater advantage. thereby
securing cheaper money. which In turn
should mean reduced interest charges
for fhe growers. II Ia also a fact that
IN insuring cotton stored In federally
eicensed warehouses reductions of
fsom 10 to 25 per cent have been
granted by rate-making agencies.
Thus the insurance underwriters give
tangible recognition TO the creation
nj o better moral class Of risk and to
the value Of government supervision
and inspection.

Immediately, the low interest rate

Wool Regulations Issued.
Regulations for the licensing and
bonding of wool warehouses recently
were promulgated by the bureau. Pro
vision Is made for the accurate weigh
ing and grading Of wool stored, or 10
he stored. in such warehouses. The
grading tends not only to increase the
value Of the wool and make II more
readily marketable but gives the
grower information as to the quality
or grade Of wool he Is producing, in
dicating how the wool and the hocks
or bands may be improved to produce
the most profitable quality. The
grower knows that his wool Ia safe
In such a warehouse. and that II Is
properly handled because Of govern
ment supervision and inspection.
Where the wool Of the growers Is
being pooled. the place Of assembling
or storing II may readily he licensed
by complying with the regulations.
In this connection the plan Of some
Of the associations which have shown
a desire TO become licensed Is 10 have
the growers turn their wool over to the
association. which deposits II In H.
censed and bonded warehouse, where
the lots are graded and like grades
are put together In large heaps CT
piles. The warehouse then issues re-
ceIpts to the association. which can
be used as collateral. From the funds
obtained the association can make ad-
vances to the individual grower.

Ing wool warehouses can be had upon
