Lives SumptuOusly on
$50 a Month,

While in Coblenz l asked one of
our American boys stationed there if
he was not anxious to get back home.
His answer was "No! / don't want
to leaye here as long as my $4,000 a
month produces over 1000 marks on
which / can live like a prince" But
this exchange question is a double
edged sword which cuts both ways.
While we are busy building our tariff
wall higher and higher this premium
on our dollar tends to keep our goods
out of foreign markets far more effec-
lively than any protective tariff which
the other nations might enforce
against us.-Journal of the American
Bankers Association.

Monument at
Chateau Thierry

Muskogee, Okla, Sept. 22.-Al-
though fame as a sculptor's model
awaits him, Olin L. Stone of this city
prefers the modest place of store
clerk. Soon, his image will be en-
blazoned on memorial that will over
look the historic battlefield of Cha
tcau Thierry, France.
Selected from a hundred American
doughboys who represented the best
physical specimens of the American
EApeditionary Force, Stone has since
had numerous opportunities to pose
foc artists of worldwide renown. To
all however, he has turned deaf
ear and quietly continued his duties
iii an "army store" here. -
Stones image will adorn a statue
that, when completed, will form a
Unit of what is declared will be one
of the most artistic battle monuments
erected in commemoration of the
world war. 1t will be cut in stone 18
feet high and feet wide. Stone will
represent an Ameriesh soldier stand
ing on a pedestal, talIer than the
image of a French soldier, who stands
at attention. The figure of a French
girl with one hand resting on the
Frenchman's shoulder and the other
extending farewell handshake to the
American, will complete the group.
The meplorial will be the work of
Constant Roux, French sculptor, and
of Howard Davis, an American sculp-
tor. 1t is expected it will be COM
pleted next year.
Stone saw service in the battles of
Cantigny, Montdidier, Aisne, Marne,
Neuse and Argonne. He also served
with the Army of Occupation and in
December, 1918, was returned to
France to receive decorations.
When it was decided to erect the
memorial at Chateau Thierry, care
full selection began for the American
whose figure was to adorn the monu-
nient. The selections finally dwindled
to hundred, and these men were sent
to Paris for a final choice by artists.
Stone was the unanimous choice of
RouX and Davis.

DIAL AMENDS
COTTON MEASURE
BY Hugh w. Roberts.

Washington, Sept. 22.-Senato,
Dial of South Carolina this afternoor
amended his proposed amendment tx
the cotton futures, act so that instead
of permitting compromise between
the buyer and the exchange in matte,
of delivery, the exchange would b.
compelled to deliver cotton in the ex
act grades specified in the contract
In it's original form, the amendment
would have permitted delivery of one.
half in two grades selected by the
buyer and one-half in two grades Sc
lected by the exchange. In the amend
ed form the buyer in making a con-
tract specifics the grades he would
livery observes the contractuai obli-
cation as to grade.
"Ehis change was made upon advice
by my Democratic colleagues" said
Senator Dial. 81 will press the pro-
posed amendment at the first oppor-
tunity. AS far as know, only Sena-
tor Ransdall of Louisiana opposes It,
predict its passage without material
opposition. 1t will remove discfim-
ination against the South which
amounts in money to many hundred
thousand dollars each season."
The effort of Senator Dial is in line
with that of former Senator Conner
of Alabama in the preceding session
of congress. The Conner amendment
prevailed in the senate but went un-
der in the house.
The senator this afternoon con-
ferred with Eugene Meyer, Jr., rela-
tive to the operation Of the recently
enacted statute, under the provisions
of which the government will extend
credit to farmers in exporting their
products.
"I am certain" said he, "that the
law, as soon as it operates smoothly,
will greatly benefit the farmers OF the
country. l urge them to familiarize
themselves with it's provisions, and
use it. The local board in South Car

me that Mr.. Matthews was ready to
