ENOUGH Cash TO

Reserve Head Sees Bet

Statement

That there is sufficient cash in the
hands Of the farmers, or will be dur.
ing the spring through the marketing
of products in hand, aside from the
greater crops still held, to permit Of
g good cash trade for the merchants,
is the opinion of Joseph A McCord,
chairman of the board of the Atlanta
Federal Reserve Bank, in a statement
furnished the AmeTicus Kiwanis club,
through the Times-Recorder, in sup
port of its Buy-NoW campaign which
it launches. today Chairman Nc
Cord says in his opinion the worst
is over and that we are headed in
the right direction for better con-
ditions in the present year Says his
statement, which goes in the general
situation:
The Statement.
Il wish to say that after care
fpl study of the situation / believe
that we have passed the worst and
are now headed in the right direction
for better conditions during 1921.
We must take into consideration
the fact that our crops have not been
marketed, although they have been
matured and gathered. Another fact
that we must take into consideration
is that the marketing is going to be
Of a slow process, and more along
the desire of the board known as the
orderly marketing of the crops.
Let me review one of our main
products, and the conditions sur
rounding this products surrounds 9th
er products, such as sugar rice, lum-
Der, r0sin, naval stores of all kinds,
beans, peanuts and cattle. The one |
refer to, of which | desire to make
an analysis, is that of cotton. Esti-
mating the crop conservatively at
12,00O,000 bales, 80 per cent of this
crop is raised or marketed in the At
lanta district, which covers the full
states Of Alabama, Georgia and Flori-
da, three-f0urth5 Of Tennessee, the
southern half of Mississippi, and you
of course know the boundary lines
for Louisiana. This would give ua
100000 bales of cotton in Federal
Reserve district No. 6, Atlanta We
came over with at least 100000 bales
from last years crop, and this would
make total Of over 100000 bales
CT cotton in this district.

'There has not been over one.
third Of this cotton marketed, or to
be ultra conservative, say 40 per

WASHINGTON, March 4.--(By
Associated Press. president Hard
ing in his inaugural address said:
INV Countrymen: When one sur
veys the world about him after the
great storm, noting the marks OF de-
struction and yet rejoicing in the
ruggedness of the things which with
stood it, if he is an American, he
breathes the clarified atmosphere with
strange mingling Of regret ana
new hope. We have seen world pas
sion spend it's fury, but we contem-
plate our republic mistaken and hold
our civilization secure. Liberty-llo'
erty within the law-and civilization
are inseparable and though both
were threatened we find them now
secure, and there comes to Amerl-
cans the profound assurance that our
representative government is the
highest expression and surest guar
anty of both.
Standing IN this presence, mind
full of the s0leninity Of this occasion,
feeling. the emotions which no one
may know until he senses the great
weight of responsibility for himself,
| must utter my belief in the divine
inspiration of the founding of the
fathers. Surely there must have
been. Gods intent in the making Of
this new world republic, Ours is an
organic law, which has but one ambi-
guilty, and we saw that effaced in a
baptism of sacrifice and blood, with
union maintained, the nation supreme
and its concord inspiring We have
seen civil human and religious liberty
verified and glorified. In the begin
ming the old world scoffed at our eX-
pertinent. today our foundations of
political and social belief stand un-
shaken, a precious inheritance to
ourselves an inspiring example Of
freedom and civilization to all man
kind. Let us express renewed and
strengthened devotion, in grateful
reverence for the immortal begin
ming and utter our confidence in the
supreme fulfillment. ga
PROGRESS PROVES WISDOM
THE recorded progress of our re-
public, materially and spiritually, in
itself proves the wisdom of the in
herited policy of non-involvment in
old world affairs Confident of our
ability to work out our own destiny
and jcalously guarding our right to
do so, we seek no part in directing
the destinies of the old world We
do not mean to be entangled. We Will
accept no responsibility, except as
our own conscience and Judgment. in
each instance may determine. :
"0ur eyes never will be blind to a
developing menace, our ears never
deaf to the call of civilization. We
recognize the new order in the world
with the closer contacts which prog.
ress has wrought. We sense the call
of the human heart for fellowship,
fraternity and cooperation. We
crave friendship and harbor no hate

laid by the inspired fathers, can be

FIGHT VALUATION
Of GAS COMPANY
Suburban Residents Say Fig
ures Were Established at
Peak Of Price Trend
LOWER RATES ARE URGED

a valuation of the property OF the
underlying companies Of the Philadel-
phia Suburban Gas and Electric Com
pany made by the firm of Stone q
Webster was vigorously attacked this
morning by w. Il. s. Temple, an en-
gineer representing suburban residents
who are trying to force the company to
reduce its rntes. This was at con-
tinuation of n hearing Of the case be-
fore Public Service Commissioner Benn.
Mr.. Temple submitted n valuation
mnde by himself which differed markedly
in many items from the company's val
uation.
Mr.. Temple charged that the vaIua-
ton by the engineers employed by thc
company had been Mt the peak OF the
price trend, and that marked reductions
in the prices of various important rae =
tors of value were not considered. lie
declared that there has been 20 to
% per cent reduction In machinery. ana
that although freight rates have not YET
bcen lowered n reduction should have
been anticipated.
Labor. he preceded is at present on
false basis, due to unemployment
but he offered figures to show that there
has been an average reduction Of wages
for unskillcd labor of 30 per cent and
Of skilled labor from ; to %. per cent;
Mr.. Temple said telegraph poles that
have been ten years In the ground have
hecn valued by the company at from
90 to so per cent Of the original price.
The life Of telegraph pole, Mr.. Temple
said, Is only fifteen years so thnt. the
valuation should properly have been
33 Ia per cent.
In another instance he showed where
a gas purifyer which he declared to
have been obsolete and useless had been
valued at original cost.
Investigation, said Mr.. Temple.
"showed this was in reality an outworn
second hand boiler that had been in use
in Royersford in 1878.
The company's valuation on the
physical property showed $0.G6 per each
1000 feet Of gas produced. Mr.. TEN
plc's valuation put the figure at $o.27.

the bodies for several days, and in the
meantime relatives are hoping against
hope that something may turn up to
assist in the making of idcntitiCatiOns.
In the event of a community burial
It is probable that suburban section
will be selected-probably in the South
ampton district. This because the
greater number Of missing and uniden-
titled dead are from Southampton or
from Churchvillc. From southampton
the following persons nre reported miss
ing and are, practically beyond Qucs-
tion. among the bodies in the mOrgue ::
Miss Elizabeth Shcmire. Mrs. William
Sinkler. Mrs. Morris Van Hart. II. v.
Hogcland. Miss Emma Lccdom; from
Churchville. hamlet adjacent to
Southampton, there nre four reported
missing: Charles 7. Scott, Earl Slack,
Norman Rhodes and Miss Lena George.
Missing from these two small com
munities alone n3mbet all but two of
the unidentified dead. The remaining
two are in all likelihood from Philadcl-
phia, as it is believed Charles PrOus
and Andrew Saalfeld are among the
victims

nress to End Menace

Washington. Dec T.-By a. PD--
Immediate steps should be taken to
prevent pollution of waters Mt important
harbors, Secretary Hoover today told
the House Rivers and HnrborS Com
mittee. Legislation. however. should be
confined at present to oil pollution, he
said. adding that he favored an eX-
haustive investigation to determine the
ACCESSIBILITY of checking other forms Of
harbOr contamination.
Some harbors, the Commerce Secre.
tary stated, are beyond redemption rs
far ns propagation of fish is concerned.
No form Of pollution prevention would
permit the fish to live in New York
harbor, he added.
OIL pollution not only is destroying
fish, the committee was told, but is
proving tremendous fire hazard and
seriously damaging beaches. Large in.
duStrial communities are paying enor-
mously in insurance and other ways for
pollution of port waters, Mr.. Hoover
declared. Commenting on the dcsira-
bility Of checking contamination of
Chesapeake Bay waters. he said that be-
tween industrial plants throwing off
refuse and fisheries there could be no
chOicc-that the fishing industry must
be protected.
