Hugh W. Roberts III TIL" State.
Washington, Dec .2.-The newsra-
per story which has precipitated na-
tional and international controversy
and drawn characteristic utterances
from the spokesmen of the world, the
story to the effect that President
Harding cortemplates the formation
Of an association of nations, is with
out foundation.
The president has rot sounded
out" the other nations. He has not
even spoken on this highly controver-
sal topic to the delegation which rep
resents him in the conference for the
limitation of armament. 1t is not
conceivable that President Harding
had the dreams of forming the powers
into union of nations, would have
withheld his plans from those who
cast his ballot in the Washington con-
ference.
This bureau learns today beyond all
question of cavil, that in the lnnu-
merable consultations between the eX-
ecutive and the American delegation
prior to the sitting of the conference
when the entire program of disarm-
ament and world peace was devised,
Mr.. Harding made no reference to
anx league or covenant of nations.
It is also established beyond per-
adventure that since the conference
held its initial session, the president
has not broached this topic to the Am
erican delegation. The story to the
contrary, like Topsy, "just turned
up." or like Ireland, "fel from out
of the skies one day."
1t succeeded, however, in arouslng
all the sentiment for and against the
league of nations which following the
election last fall subsidized. 1t drew
from Senator Borah bitter criticism.
It drew from administration senators
who opposed the Versailles pact pre-
mature explanation of why they
would support the Harding scheme.
II elected from Wilson Democrats an
avalanche of 81 told you SOS.
Learned editorials appeared in every
newspaper.
It is learned today that If Mr.. Har-
ding contemplates the formation OF an
international agreement of any char
acter, he will first of all discuss the
matter with his delegation. Whether
or not he will tackle this subject re-
mains to be developed. But that ne
will tackle this subject remains to be
developed. But that he has done or
said or intimated anything up to the
present moment is conclusively dis
proved.

STORED COTTON
HAS HIGH VALUE
OVER S3o,ooo,oo0 NOW IN STATE
SYSTEM
Staple Advances When Cared For by

The State, 9Th.
"More than s3O,OoO,OOO worth of
cotton is now stored in the warehous-
es in the state system" j. Clifton
Rivers, warehouse commissioner, said
yesterday in speaking of the big bus
iiness the state system is handling this
year.
"The state warehouse system has
developed into one of the biggst bus
inesses of the country" Mr.. Rivers
continued "At present we have more
than 1000 bonded employees and are
operating more than 1000 units or
warehouses with cotton valued at
more than s30,O0O,O00.
"By calculation made on October
Is it was shown that the value of the
cotton in storage at that time had in
creased S7,5O0,O00 since the cotton
was placed in the warehouses. This
was carried at minimum cost to the
people who are using the Depart
ment."
During November the number of
bales of cotton stored increased by
33,S57 over the first day of Novem-
Der. Last year total of approx
mately 100000 bales were handled
by the system.
A great increase in the number of
the larger warehouses entered into
the state system is shown in the No
venber business. This is attributed
to the fact that the state warehouse
receipts are being used more extern
sively in obtaining loans through. the
war finance corporation and other Il
nancial agencies, because Of the easy
facilities they afford for such pur-
poses and because they are approved
by the war finance corporation.

Clinic Nurse Resigns
The State, Dec. 3.

IS SldlC, OSS. e.
The resignation of Miss Rose Her.
bert, nurse in charge Of the Children,s
clinic, was accepted with regret by
the board of directors at an open
meeting held yesterday afternoon at
the clinic. Miss Herbert has held the
exacting position for long period
and she expects to take needed rest
at her home in Newberry. The board
passed a resolution to unite with the
clinic association in writing Miss Her
bert letter expressing appreciation
of what she has done for the little
institution and of how serious her loss
will be.
The report made by Miss Herbert
Yesterday includes the following ex-
planation of the cooperative plan be-
ing carried out by the clinic and the
city nurses:
"Sincc our last quarterly meeting
1915 visits have been made by chi!-
dren to the clinic for health purposes.
Now our plan has been changed some
what in our cooperation with the city
nurses. The clinic is open to any
school child for an initial examina-
ton and advice. This saves the con-
fusion that often comes to a parent
when the school nurse tells her ply
sician should see her child. Her first
question is TO whom shall go? I've
had so little need of doctors that do
not know how to. start out Yes,
pity It's, she has never had her child
examined before, hence her ignor-
ance. So the nurse, since all rules of
ethics prevent her suggesting GER
tain physician, suggests the children's
clinic where competent advice may be
had after which the parent who can
pay is free to carry her child to any
physician for further home or hospi
tai care.
"All new cases where there IS
doubt about ability to pay a physician
are followed up by the clinic social
worker and all home cases are refer
red to the city nurses for care and
Instruction.
Among the 25 operations performed
at the clinic in the last month Miss
Eel bert mentors specially one per-
formed upon little girl whose feet
were twisted as result of infantile
paralysis. Both feet are now in plaster
casts. says the nurse, and her future
seems much brighter.
''AiI in all the work is growing ard
thriving and because Of the clinic and
the help Of its friends, many little
folks are being benefited for life"
concludes the nurse.

CLEVELAND. September 15.-Busi-
ness leaders in sections representing

ing industries are unanimous in the
opinion that readjustment has gone
its route in this territory and that
q level has been reached from which
a general resumption of business can
safely be expected. Steel production.
which reached its low point in June
since that time. Tire production has
been we'll absorbed and there are no
stocks on hand sufficient for any ex-
tended period. Building construction
men declare now is the opportune
time to consider new building enter
prises, and the farmers feel more
hopeful. because help Is plentiful, the
prices Of fertilizer are down and
farming implements are becoming
more reasonable in price.
The indications are that the low
point Of depression in retail trade was
reached in July. August sales i'm
proved materially and merchants eX-
pect increasing business throughout
the fall and winter. Although the
cost of many necessities showed an
increase last month, this was counter
balanced by the first decline In rents
in many months and fall IN price
of some food products
More building permits were issued
In August than in any other August
in the history of the city. The ma
jority of these were for dwellings.
