designations as requested by the pres
enr banking board. These requests
for designations were in line with the
announced policy of consolidating
these receiverships as much as posi-
pie to reduce the expenses in con-
nection with the liquidation of these
banks. According to member of the
banking board about half of the re-
quests have met with response in the
way of the required designations but
the balance are standing pat" This
member states that among those who
have refused to resign are some of
the "most incompetent and most ex-
pensive of all the receivers appointed
last summer and fall" We don't
blame them. When man is drawing
$1,000 per day for his services, know
ing that the position is purely po-
litical one and that his disappointment
is not to be expected, and also know
ing that $500 per day represents his
actual value and that he cannot hope
to obtain work at larger figure, we
contend that he would be showing
poor judgment in resigning. OF
course these men will be removed
whether they resign or not and the
end sought will be accomplished, but
it will take few days to do this and
every day means $1,000 and $1,000 is
some sum these days, especially to
men of this calibre.

The peace conference at Washing
ton seems to be bearing fruit and in
dications are that Secretary Hughes
is going to gain all the points for
which he has been asking along the
lines of disarmament Great Britain:
Japan and the United States seem to
be getting along together very nicely
and have already agreed to the dis
armament program, while France and
Italy are still sparring for few more
concessions. These matters give
promise of being adjusted soon and it
now looks as if the world is going to
get a program of disarmament which
is going to stop future wars, which is
the greatest step along humanitarian
lines the world has ever known. The
scrapping of billions Of dollars worth
of war ships will follow this pact:
armies and navies will be reduced ma
terially and the world will have taken
a forward step towards world peace.
If this conference ends as it now gives
promise the Harding administration
will have accomplished at least one
great thing of value to the world IN
general as we'll as to the United
States. If the nations of the world
can cut their ornaments down now IN
few years why cannot they cut them
out altogether?

the part of those who have been placed
in charge of public business to try and
keep expenditures down. One of the
big things that Gov. Nestos is trying
to put over is the paying Of the hail
warrants. He hopes to be able to put
this over but just how he is going to
do it without any money to do it with
is conundrum. Should he be able to
do this, however, it will be big
thing and one of the things most
worth while. If these hail warrants
could be paid it would be the means
of helping out hundreds of farmers
with some ready money which they so
much need at this time. Let US hope
that our governor will find the way
out to get the money and pay the
farmers what they have coming from
hail insurance. 1t should not be nee
essary to have to find means to do
this. because it has been paid in to the
state but has been shot to other en-
terprises and lost by wllful and reck-
less mismanagement.
The state dairy commissioner, Rob-
ert F. Flint. has issued statement
warning citizens against the organi-
cation of creamer ies or cheese factor
les at this time. The history of the
state reveals that, in times of financial
depression, the state is overrun with
organizers and promoters seeking to
establish creameries and cheese fac
tories in different communities, re-
CARELESS of whether local conditions
will warrant the establishment OF
these enterprises or not. This IS
merely one of the many schemes to
farm the farmer" which pop up
whenever the financial situation is
pinching the man who has been rails
ing wheat, and, finding that the one
crop idea is costing him money, de-
cides to increase his herd of mich
cows. People in North Dakota have
got to increase their production OF
dairy products and decrease their
wheat acreage if farming is to be a
success in the future. This is self
evident fact and is recognized as such
| by the majority Of farmers. The in
crease of dairy products will naturally
demand an increase in the number OF
plants to handle the product. But the
/ building up of dairy herd is a slow
, process and the building up of plants
! to handle the products of dairying
must also be slow. Promoters are ma.
turally anxious that companies shall
be organized to handle the products Of
! the increased dairy herds but the pro
, fits to be derived from the organiza'
ton of these industries at this time
| revert to the promoters rather than tc
the farmers who invest in the inter
prises.

LLOYD GEORGE NOT
TO BE AT MEETING
Neither British Premier Nor Lord
Curxon Will Be Able to Attend
the Conference.
tsy The Associated Press,

LONDON, Sept. 2O.-Neither Pre-
mier Lloyd George nor Lord Curzon
secretary of foreign affairs will attend
the washington conference on the linn
itation OF ornaments. This official
announcement was made today. Their
decision is attributed to impending
developments in domestic politics.
This has caused no surprise here as
the development OF British affairs for
some time past has made it evident
that the prime minister could not
leave the country, although it is UNI
derstood that he was anxious to par
ticlpate in the conference. Whether
the cabinet meets the Sim Fein rep
resentatives or not, Irish affairs for
the next few months viii demand the
premier's closest attention while the
problem OF unemployment promises to
become more pressing.
It has been assumed that Lord Cur
zon would go to Washington. Els
health. however, Is one of the draw
backs. He was unable to make the
journey to Inverness for the urgent
cabinet meeting recently to decide the
governments policy toward the Sim
Fein.
No appointments have yet been
made for the conference.

course. / am advising 1t as a safe,
sound business proposition which has
been tried, tested and proved profit
able. During 1920 this proposition
was tried by number of farmers in
vafious Sections Of the South who
did not plant a hill. of cotton, but
bought their cotton for October and
December delivery. Trey, of course,
refused to close the cotton out until
this fall aad it netted them a hand
some profit when closed out over the
purchase price. In addition to this, it
assisted in securing the reduction of
acreage and the planting of food and
feed crops and securing better prices
for cotton.

way.
The work of your organization
should make powerful appeal to
the people interested in the upbuild-
ing of our citizenship, our agriculture
and our commerce throughout the
entire nation, and there is no ques-
tion but that today. your association
as a result of it's accomplishments
has the outstanding endorsement and
support of the leaders in the various
lines of agriculture and commerce
throughout the nation.
Had the people of the South Dump
ed their cotton upon the market dur
ing the last IL to IA months, the
result to every line of business not
only in the South, but throughout the
entire nation, would have been dis
astrous. Exports were closed and as
a result of the artificial defiation pol
icy, business was dormant. We ex-
port two-thirds of the cotton crop.
and with conditions existing at home,
there was practically no market for
cotton, except in a very limited way
Therefore, had an attempt been made
to sell cotton, it would have gone
without price. and it would have
been impossible even to borrow
money upon it.
Value of Acreage Drive.
Your acreage reduction cam
paign in 1921 has brought tremen-
do1s benefits not only to the people
of the South. but to the business in
|terests of the entire nation. Had
you produced large cotton crop in
1912, with conditions as described
above, God along knows to what
extent the disaster would have ex-
tended.
i wish to congratulate you upon
the wonderful accomplishments of
your association. People fail to real
ize and appreciate today the great
efforts put forth and the benefits ac-
complished. Among the pieces of
Legislation secured as result of your
activities, the success of your fight
for p establishment of the War
Finance corporation stands out as
one of the greatest and most benefic-
ial pieces of service rendered to the
agriculture and entire business inter
ests of the nation by any individual
or association of which | can recall.
If it were not for the operation of the
War Finance corporation today,
Dunn and Bradstreet would record
many times the enormous bankrupt
cies and failures they are now re-
porting. The re-establishment of the
War Finance corporation is of incsti-
mable value to the banks and bust

ture, in every section of America.

were a farmer, would adopt this
course. Your cotton so purchased
can be financed and protected with a
smaller financial outlay than the cost
of producing cotton. Then, you
avoid the risk OF, crop failure. Also,
in addition to this, as the price is
below the cost of production, why
plant cotton? Even if you produce

Mr. 7. E. Wannamaker, Pres,
American Cotton Association,
St. Matthews, S. c.
Dear Mr.. Wannamaaker:--
have watched with Closest in
tprest the movement started since the
commencement of the World War in
1914, which finally resulted in the or
oanization of the. American Cotton
Association. AS result of almost
sixty years of personal experience in
tbe handling of cotton and long
study of the cotton and long study
Of the cotton question, realize
thoroughly the vital necessity for re-
form in the handling and marketing
of the American cotton crop, and
that the cotton producers of America
and friendly interests have never re-
ceived from the production of cotton
in the South sone-thousand-fold the
benefits they are justly entitled to.
However, did not anticipate that
it would be possible to accomplish the
wonderful benefits which have come
as result of the work of the Ameri-
can Cotton Association. Most assur-
edy the benefits already accomplish
ed should result in securing for you
financial support tirom merchants,
bankers and business men of the
South that would assure the perma-
nency of this great organization. In
addition to this the benefits you are
bringing are nationwide. There,
fore, there can be no question but
that the business men in the great
commercial centers outside of the
cotton belt will subscribe financially
to the support of your aassociation so
as to enable it to greatly enlarge its
activities and assure it's perpetuity.
A National Product.
| have always contended that it
was a crime to treat Cotton as a Sec
tional product. 1t should be handled
as the greatest product of the nation,
a national produce, and national
.
asset of the greatest value. Cotton
has never brought fair price to the
people of the South or the people of
the nation and everyone interested
in the development of our nation
would feel it their duty to assist in
the work which your association is
conducting and to have the handling
and marketing of cotton placed upon
strictly business basis and cotton
made national asset. If this was
done it would bring tremendous bene-
fit not alone to the people of the
South, but the people of our entire
country. Anyone in any section OF
the nation assisting to depress the
price of cotton is aiding to promote a
