 We have made request through the president for a hearing before the en- tire cabinet for the purpose of arrang- ing the reestablishment of the war fi- nance corporation. opening up of ex- ports, and the discontinuance of Hous- tons policy.
 "Deflation must not start on agricul- tural products. The law of supply and demand must be reestablished. The results of this convention should bring wonderful temporary relief and perma- nent benefits to the agricultural and commercial life of the nation.

 Cotton Growers Problems
 Following the acceptance by MT. Kill kenny of the request of the Arizona division of the association that he rep resent this district at the convention. and in particular present the problems of the cotton growers of the south west, President w. $. Stevens sent him wire of instructions calling particular attention to the financial problems of the producers in this section and the reasons therefor.
 In addition to cooperating with President Wannamaker of the Amer ican Cotton association, Mir. Kilkenny was requested to call to the attention of the proper authorities the unusual views of the federal reserve heads in the twelfth district. that have so em- Cp1 hold their cotton for a fair price.
 If possible it is hoped to secure in this district the same liberal views re- garding the financing of agricultural producers as is evidenced by the fol- lowing statement recently issued from the national headquarters of the asso- citation, quoting the heads of two of the federal reserve heads in the South:
 Will Finance Cotton Growers
 The two leading federal reserve banks located in the heart of the cot ton belt are at Atlanta Ga. and Dallas Tex. The bear crowd trying to depress cotton values have sent out many false reports to create the impression that loans on cotton warehouse receipts would be restricted and that growers who owed money would be forced to market their cotton.
 The governors of these federal re- serve banks evidently can give out more authoritative information on the subject of finance than the cotton speculators. We present herewith a statement recently issued by Gov. M. B Welborn of the Atlanta reserve bank as follows:
 "We are advising our member banks In reply to their inquiries that they need have no fear that the federal re- u-fl r1xY and accommodate it's member banks in rediscounting their customers notes secured by cotton. for the orderly mar keting of the cotton crop.
 we are following our custom of the past fin accepting from member banks notes of merchants and cotton shippers for 90 days, secured by cotton, up to so per cent of it's market value, properly warehoused and insured; and notes by farmers, secured by cotton up to so per cent of it's market value. insured and properly stored. having a maturity within six months"

La Navidad, which he had constructed on his first visit to San Salvador. He founded a new garrison which he called Isabella, after the Spanish queen. He made several exploring expeditions into the interior of Espanola and neighbor- ing islands on this trip.
 He returned to Cadiz, June II, 1496 Nearly two years later, May 30, 149S he started on his third expedition. He coasted along the South American mainland which he saw for the first time on his third trip. going westward as far as Margarita. He was later put in chains by Francisco de Bobadilla, who arrived at the island with royal or ders authorizing him to supersede Co., lumbus in the government, August 23. 1900. He arrived in Spain in chains, but was promptly released and sum- moned to court, where every favor was shown him.
 Dies After Fourth Voyage
 The Spanish rulers granted him a fourth fleet and he set sail in May 1902, on his fourth expedition to seek ruure to the real east. Between July 50, 1902, and January "A, 1908, he sailed along the coast of Central America from Hon. duras to Veragua, where he attempted settlement In April, 1903, his dis heartened survivors insisted on aban- doning the enterprise. They got as far as Jamaica, where the ships had to be beached to save the cargo. Columbus and a few of his followers, after great suffering, finally reached Spain, No vember 2, 1908.
 He died at Valladolid May 20, 1906. His body was laid in the Carthusian monastery of Santa Maria de Cuevas at Seville, but in 1542 it was removed, with that of his son Diego, to be in- tered Tn the cathedral of San Domingo, Hispaniola, Haiti. When that island was ceded to the French in 1795, transfer was agin made. to the cathed- ral at Havana, and at last after Spain's loss of Cuba in 1898, the bones of father and son were taken back to Seville and placed in the cathedral there.

livered by Governor Ramsey of the Dallas reserve bank. before the Cotton convention of the American Cotton as- sociation at Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 3. he took practically the same position as Governor Welborn.
 In addition to these. Gov. W. P C.. Harding of the federal reserve board at Washington has issued similar statements guaranteeing that loans to farmers would be ample to enable a slow and orderly movement of the crops to market.
 These facts should clarify the situa- ton and hearten the cotton growers all over the belt. They should dissipate all fear in the minds of our local bank CTS. They should intensity the move ment to warehouse cotton and hold 1t until legitimate consumption needs the staple at prices which will justify a fair and reasonable profit to the growers.

 Four centuries and twent ty- eight years have passed into history since that fateful morning when Christopher Columbus got his first sight of Amer ica which proved to be the island of San Salvador, called Guanahani by the natives. He and his expedition had set sail from Palos, Spain, August 8, 1492. and after a short stay at the Ca nary islands, set out from Gomera, Sept. 6. Twice during the voyage to san Salvador his sailors mutinied and it was with the greatest difficulty that they were persuaded to continue the expedition. Columbus returned to Lis bon March 4. 1493.
 A second expedition consisting of IT vessels and carrying 1,500 persons set sail September 25, 1493, and on the 27th of November he anchored off the fort of

The state of Arizona has offered $1000 reward for information leading to the conviction of the murderer of Martin Schwab the Cleveland travel ing man. whose body was found in an abandoned we'll near Flagstaff in Sep tember. months after he was last seen in that vicinity.
 The reward supplements an offer of the same amount from Coconino coun- ty. The request for a reward from the state was received by the governor from Sheriff Harrington who believed that the additional amount may lend an impetus to the man hunt.

 New York, July 2.-( (Special)- Judge Gary is not taking his excursion to Europe solely for recrea ton. He will have opportunity to learn, as he is anxious to do what the steel and iron situation in Great Britain and upon the continent of Europe is, knowing well that all Europe and the rest, of the
 world, excepting Great Britain, are now clamoring for iron and steel prod ucts of all kinds. Sometimes it is said
 that the food and cotton which our soil furnishes constitutes the funda- mental industry in the United States and this statement is not disputed
 Neverthless the steel and iron industry
 together with oil and copper are the
 essential industries of the United
 States suplementing and aiding the cul-
 tivation and distribution of food and cotton.
 At the present time if the world
 could obtain all ,the steel and iron for
 which it is making demand the indus
 try in the United States would be com
 pelled to enlarge it's plants and to seek
 for labor wherever it is to be founl.
 When these plants were enlarged at
 the time the war was in progress many
 persons wondered whether at the end of the war it-would not he found nee
 essary to disinantle the plants and charge the investment in them to profit and loss. But as the United States is now, with Great Britain, the only market where iron and steel can
 be obtained, the chances are that these extra war plants, so-called, will be opp erated to their capacity and may be for the next four years
 serious shortage of iron and steel Is condition which prevails the world over, excepting in Great Britain and the United States. Therefore. very heavy demand will reach the United States from other countries for iron and steel products and when Judge Gary returns he will be able to say approximately what the magnitude of
 this demand is and how long it will continue.
 AT LEAST FOUR YEARS The estimate is that at least four years will be required if the world demand for iron and steel is to be met.
 Therefore. it is reasonable to assume that this industry in the United States will be driven to it's capacity during the entire federal administration which is to begin on March 4 of next year. Strangely enough one of the reasons why this country is at present unable to meet this demand is found in the lack of labor. In fact reports from all over the country show that many work err are idle and the wonder is where even if the idle return to employment, the number which is needed to secure full productive capacity can be found. Shortage of abor exists in the coal re- gionsN in Detroit and other automobile certers and for some months at least twelve thousanad workers in, the brass industry in Naugatuck Valley, Conn, have been idle not because there IS no work for them but instead because they are not willing to accept work unless their demands are complied with
 All the precedents are Of no avail be- cause heretofore when employees in large number have been out of work they have sought employment gladly ac- cepting reduced wages. This year not withstanding the fact that many thou
