GIGANTIC FINANCE

Henry Ford, the wizard of hnance
and big business says that he sa"
tho denression coming, and pulled
in his sails. He said that the pank-
,ers of New York wanted to lend MIN
money being afraid that he needed
it. but when they approached him.
they asked who would be his tIeSe
urer. He showed them the door.
He found that his men would not
do a days work, and that his supplies
Germs that sold him his supplies
would not cut the price of their
materials, until he closed down,
and so he closed down to get the
Imitation out of the industries and
the men who were working for him
and brought them back to earth
again. He succeeded.
Where during the war; it cost him
over $500 30 make a Ford car he is
now making one for less than 500,
an dafter his men had loafed awhile
and found that he was not running
the plant just to give them a job,
they are working better, and are
more efficient. The war certainly
changed things, both human and
otherwise
One reason why the bankers
wanted to lend Ford the money, and
get him in their hands, was on ac-
count of the fact that they are back
ing the makers of other cars whose
prices have been greatly affected by
the price of Fords. If they could get
Ford in their clutches, they would
son have Fords about double m
price.
Ford has bought railroad, and
now hauls his own materials. and at
the same time has reduced the price
of freights and fares. The growers
"of fruits in that section have petit
toned the government to let Ford
run the railroads of the country al
ieging that the charges are so high
that they cannot make anything af
ter the freight is paid.

dorsement of member bank. These
loans will be made by the Federal
Reserve Banks upon notes, drafts and
bills of eN ge issued or drawn in
accord" a., the .as 'sFms ens rsgula of 'ns
tions of the, Federal Reserve Board
for the haryfsting or orderly market
ing of coming cotton crop.
In order. however, that these re
discounts facilities of the Federal
Reserve Banks may be made fully
effective it will be necessary that
member banks III the cotton states
place their 1oaning facilities freely at
the disposal of cotton producers and
dealers in their respective localities
with the knowledge and assurance
the Federal Reserve Banks recognize
the urgency of rendering all proper
assistance to these important inter
ests during such abnormal times.
Mr.. Meyer, Managing Director of
the War Finance Corporation, who at
tended the conference, reviewed the
activities of the War Finance Cor
poration in making loans for inanc-
ing cotton for Immediate and future
export. Governor Strong, of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of New York, and
representatives of certain New York
member banks were also invited to
the conference to discuss the nacess-
ity or advisability of having various
commercial banks through the coun-
try establish a fund for the purpose
of making loans upon cotton. In view
of the conclusions reached by the
conference as to the ability of the
Federal Reserve Banks effectively to
take care of all of the legitimate re-
quirementS of the cotton interests, it
was felt that the establishment of
such a fund at this time is neither
necessary nor advisable. Governor
Strong stated, however, that he had
received assurance from a number of
important banking institutions in
New York City that if the facilities
now offered by the Federal Reserve
Banks and the War Finance Corpor-
alton should prove to be inadequate,
they will cooperate in the establish
ment of a cotton loan fund in what
ever amount the situation might de-
mand.

,Waily Reid Drives Locomotive Ii
Blizzard.

, To drive some sort of machine, be
it an automobile or locomotive, is
all in the days work for Wallace
Reid the athletic Paramount star.
In ''The Love Special" his latest
starring vehicle which comes to the
Wilson theatre today. Wally drives a
railroad engine over a mountain in
a driving snowstorm with the same
ease and poise he displays when at
the wheel of a roadster in a gruelling
auto race.
cit was great sport to feel the big
engine pick up as 1 pulled the throt-
tle," said the star, 'but 1 felt lost
without a steering wheel. At times
when we went around a sharp curve,
1 would instinctively grab for the
wheel, only to remember that I was in
a locomotive and didn't have to do
any steering. 1 think a fellow feels
better, though, when he knows that
he is doing the guiding. 1t makes one
feel dependent and a bit useless to
know that he must stick right to the
steel rails and that they will guide
the engine for him.
The story upon which the picture is
based, is, said to be one of the best
railroad stories by Frank H. Spear
man, a we'll known fictionist. 1t is a
big story, full of speed and thrills
and seasoned with a delightful ro-
nance which continues all through
the picture. Agnes Ayres is leading

FINANCING NEW COTTON CROP

The federal reserve bank has issu-
ed the following statement;
In view of the vital Importance of
the problems incident to the harvest
ing and marketing of the coming cot
Von crop, the Federal Reserve Board
today held conference with the GOV
ernorS of the Federal Reserve Ranks
eot richmond, Atlanta, ST. Louis,
Kansas City and Dallas, the banks
located in or brought in closest toucb
with the member banks in the cotton
states, for the purpose of reviewing
the credit situation in these states
and determining what further credit
Will be needed to facilitate the har-
Vesting and orderly marketing of
this crop.
AT the present time the five Re-
serve Banks in question are lending
to their members $457,OOO,OOO or
more than rs per cent of the loans of
the entire system, the Richmond
Bank borrowing from other Reserve
Banks $20,00O,OOO and the Dallas
Bank borrowing SIG, 100000 for that
purpose. The total loans of these
five Reserve Banks to their mem
Der banks exceed their reserve de-
posits by 100000, where as the
reserve deposits of the other seven
Reserve Banks exceed their loans to
their members by 100000.
The amount now loaned by these
Reserve Banks to their members is
Tour and one-half times the amount
borrowed at any one time by all the
national banks of the country prior to
1914, or before the establishment of
the Federal Reserve System.
The Federal Reserve Board and the
governors of the Federal Reserve
banks announce that the Federal Re-

Major Penn Returns from Reunion.

Major John Penn, the only Con-
federate Veteran of Brookhaven, who
went to the Reunion in Tupelo last
week,S has returned, delighted with
the successful meeting and the many
courtesies extended the veterans and
others attending, and gave an inter-
.esting account of his experiences.
Mr.. Alec Currie and Major M. Nc
Callum, the latter on the staff of Gen.
McGehee of Summit, and Messrs.
Sam Coon and Bill Price of Bogue
Chitto, we are informed, were the
only other Confederate Veterans at
tending from Lincoln County.
Colonel Robert Moreton, of the
Sons of Veterans, and Mrs. Moreton,
who was matron of honor, were
also present.
General Wroten of Magnolia, COM
nlander of the Second Division, and
Captain John Webb of jackson, of
the same division were among the
leading figures at the Reunion. To
these gentlemen the Daughters of
the Confederacy presented gavels
made from branch of the great oak
tree, four feet or more in diameter
which bears many marks of mimic
balls received during the battle OF
Harriston near Tupelo.
Many of the old soldiers present
at the reunion had fought at this
battle and at the Crossroads and
Iuka.
Speeches by Colonel Moreton and
Professor Simmons of the Georgia
Historical Society, Atlanta, Major
Penn reported as notable. The lat
ter gave great deal of interesting
Southern, history including that of
the Ku Klux.
The $50 veterans, and other visit
ors-among the former, 102 from
the Soldiers Home at Beauvoir, some
accompanied by their wives-were
given great, old fashioned barbe-
cue, where the meats were notable
for variety, banquet at the former
home of the late Private John AL
len," and ball at the club where
an old lady from Beauvoir opened
the dancing with some of the steps
of years gone by.
The fve government ponds from
which black bass for stocking are OBJ
tanned were one of the interesting
sights that awaited visitors.
Ice Cream and cold drinks were
freely supplied visitors throughout
the day at the Court House, and
automobiles and carriages were also
offered for their use.
Major Penn stated that the veter-
ans declined to allow Governor Rus
sell to address them, 1t being their
desire to keep the organization free
of politics.

Death of Miss Essie Huhns,

Miss Bssie Huhns died at the
Kings Daughters Hospital at 1880

Brookhaven the Place for "Amuse.
ment,"

Interest in baseball is growing
here. Two parties have subscribed
each $3.50 towards the organization
of club. We are not advised as to
whether sufficient funds have been
raised to enable the promoters to
contract for players. A good club
would contribute largely toward af-
fording amusement during the sum-
mer and early fall. 1t is proposed to
lease suitable park and equip it
with a grand stand, thus providing
an accommodation that would large
ly increase attendance. - Crystal
Springs Meteor.
Say, Mr.. Meteor Man, save your
self the expense and trouble and
come right on down to Brookhaven
already equipped to entertain itself
and its neighbors. We can furnish
you with a shower bath when you
have finished the game, or you can
take a swim, or just plain sit and
listen to our municipal band or in
spect our various local enterprises
from which we rest at the public
Fairgrounds. With Brookhaven's
equipment no town that sports au-
tomobiles like Crystal Springs needs
to worry about amusement during
the summer"

/. c. TO PUT ON BIC
BUILDING PROGRAM
Wage Reduction Means That Ad-
ditional Men VIII be EN-
ployed for Maintenance.

The following copy of a letter sent
by President Markham to all officers
and employees of the Illinois Central
Is of general Interest," sst
To All Officers and Employees
have been endeayoring to keep
you advised in regard to important
developments affecting the Illinois
Central System. In communication
addressed 10 you March /, 1921, Il
said that 1t was necessary to put our
affairs in such shape that we would
be enabled to grasp the first signs of
business revival to start upon that
program of expansion and develop
ment necessary to the well-being of
the business interests dependent up
on the Illinois Central System for
transportation.
The decision of the Labor Board in
regard to the reduction of wages,
when it becomes effective, will re-
suit in substantial decrease of the
operating expenses of the Illinois
Central System. You will be inter-
ested in learning that we intend to
invest that money in maintenance
which has been deferred-in the en-
ployment of additional men and in
the purchase of materials and sup
plies. We have not waited for the
money to come in, but we have al
ready entered upon our program, and
we believe that other railways will
do likewise.
The action of the Labor Board,
therefore operates as the first signal
for the opening up of business which
will rebound to the benefit of the
public at large. The crop prospects
are favorable. This railway recog-
nizes It's pressing duty to patrons to
place its roadway and equipment in
condition to serve them this fall. The
Labor Board decision will help to
enable it to meet that duty.
You are aware of the agitation
for reduction of freight rates and
passenger rates. The Interstate Com
,merce Commission is watching that
question closely. Already many of
the freight rates have been adjust
ed, and other adjustments are under
consideration at the present time.
However, on account of the physical
condition of the railways and the
great necessity of spending large
sums to bring them back to their
former state of efficiency, it is not
believed that rates can be reduced
generally at any time within present
vision. The railways must first be
restored, and that will absorb all the /,
money in sight for some time to
come, and much more If it were a
vailable.
l feel that, while you will natur-
ally regret to give UP any portion of
the increase in wages that was grant
ed to meet living costs when they
were at their peak (and I regret that
1t is necessary that, you should do
so), you will recognize that the re-
duction was inevitable, since the
costs of living have been reduced. 1
am confident that you will meet this
situation in that same wholesome
spirit with which you met each try
ing situation that confronted you
during the last few years.
c. H Markham.
Chicago, June 10, 1921.
