kEW MONTE CARLO IN CUBA7
Possibility That Worid-F Famous CHlm- bling Establishment May Be
 Located on the island.

'The greatest gambling center in the world will be located in the vest ern hemisphere if plans for palaces in Cuba develop as given out" said Walter P. Harris of Havanna. Cuba is already beset with the gambling fever. and fortunes change hands there almost every day.
 "Since the announcement of the prince of Monaco that he is prepar- ing to close Monte Carlo, there have been extensive preparations for the establishment 4 great gambling pal aces designed to attract the sporting element that now visits Monte Carlo to the Pearl of the Antilles.' Several villages have been surveyed with the view of locating this gambling cen ter. but so far no definite decision has been reached.
 "Gambling Is already flourishing in Havana. The Casino de la Playa is great garish temple of roulette, where wonderful dinners are served at less than cost. The profit to the house comes from the wheel. The men who take women to the Casino for dinner invariably back them at the wheel.
 "The moratorium now in effect on the island has not affected the crowds at the Casino, because they are most ly composed of tourists, and the vis- itor is treated to the sight of coun- try, apparently bankrupt but gambling madly. where fortunes change hands overnight and the beggar of today may be the rich man of tomorrow."- Washington Post.

Bonded Warehouses Are Be-
 coming Popular Everywhere


 f The following news article taken from the Memphis Commercial Appeal I will be of interest to local cotton peo- rle, as R. L. Taylor, general mana Iger~ of the local compress, tells some very interesting things of the bonded warehouse. The article follows:
 "All of the cotton warehouses opera ted by the Grenada Cotton Compress Company have become bonded and will operate in the future under the federal warehouse act, according to an an- nouncement made yesterday by R. l.. Taylor, general manager of the com pany.
 Memphis bankers yesterday consid- cred this announcement as one of the most important steps taken under the new law.
 "The Grenada company operates warehouse at Aberdeen Miss. Can- ton, Miss Holly Springs, Miss. Hous- ton, Miss; Como, Miss; Clarksdale, Miss; Grenada, Miss; Greenwood, Miss; Ruleville, Miss; Dyersburg, Tenn; Jackson, Tenn; Blytheville, ! Ark Conway, Ark; Forrest City, Ark. Little Rock, Ark; Morrilton, Ark. i; Magnolia, Ark; Eudora, Ark; Ash down, Ark; Monroe, La. Homer, La. ]; Sallisaw, Okla, and Earle, Ark. "The fact that the company is now operating under the federal act means that every receipt issued by these warehouses will show on the receipt the exact government standard grade of cotton, the weight of the bale and the staple, says Memphis bankers.
 "This makes such receipts highly de- sirable as collateral, and in addition these warehouses receive 25 per cent reduction in their fire insurance rates it is stated.
 Much credit is given by local bank CTS to MT. Taylor They say he is. a compress expert and readily recog- nized the importance of having re- ceipt that would be acceptable to all bankers as collateral.
 'The receipts issued by the different warehouses heretofore have merely certified that "bale of cotton" is duly held and will be returned upon return of the receipt properly in- dorsed.
 "There is, however, so much differ ence between grades of cotton that bankers have for some time been wanting to know just what grade and staple of cotton was represented by the warehouse receipts. Such a re- ceopt from the Grenada Cotton Com press Company, operating under this act, affords the required information for all bankers. It is generally under stood in Memphis banking circles that many warehouses in this section will follow the example of MT. Taylor.
 "In issuing warehouse receipt un- der the federal plan, the warehouse man guarantees the grade of cotton, within a certain reasonable limit, to be as stated on the receipt, and while it is believed that the courts would construe this provision rather liberal ly, the warehousemen would be able to protect themselves against this re- mote contingency by a fidelity bond or by carrying insurance themselves under a slight charge"

platter 81 Virginia avenue said. II have
been called upon to plato numerous
metal articles used in church services,
such as candelabras, crosses, CANDLE
sticks, chalices. obstensoriums, sanctuary
lamps, etc. During my forty long years
in business I suppose have been called
upon to plate just about everything IN
metal at sometime or other.
Many housewives have found IL q
great piece Of economy to have old
spoons, knives, forks, tea sets, waters,
pitchers and other tableware replated
rather than replace the articles with new
and, under present conditions, expensive
ones. They have found also that many
old patterns. which they have learned to
love through years OF intimate associa-
ton, cannot be replaced, and by replatine
they can be preserved and kept In USE"

 THE MARTIN TIRE & RUBBER CO,
 Factory West Haven Conn.
 P. O. Address: New Haven Conn
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-02-17
CHarZesH. BorteU, J: says:

You know there is always a measure Of satisfaction in succeeding with what Gle sets out to do.
 I feel very good about getting James Martin to become the Pres dent of the Mar tin Tire & Rubber COmpany, and to have him say that he is glad to be the head of the company and to manufacture the Mar tin Cord Tire in the factory now nearing completion in West Haven, Conn.,, which, while a separate town, is really a part of New Haven.
 It has been a long struggle for me to bring about the present satisfactory sltu- ation in the company's affairs. 1 have lived in New Haven since February, 1919, and have been on the job day and night, planning and building factory which will be credit, 1 am sure, to this prosperous Connecticut community.
 The hardest part of my job, however, was to find leader for this tire enterprise.
 l became interested in the tire business through a personal friend, who intended to go along with me in organizing a com pany, but his health broke and had to go it alone practically. But I was in it and I made up my mind to go through with 1t.
 No man ever had the backing of more loyal stockholders than I have had, and l think 1t is only fair to myself to say that no group of stockholders ever had any man more willing to honestly represent them, by making every dollar count, than have been. a
 All the stockholders are nightly pleased that their money has been used in the building of something that is tangible as set. The whole enterprise has been free from the usual promotion methods, which take peoples money by wonderful promises and then give them nothing back for their money.
 Less than a million dollars has been in vested in this enterprise, but there IS some thing to show for every dollar subscribed by the stockholders. Personally take as much satisfaction in making this state ment as I do in telling you about the fac tory now nearly ready for business.
 It is confidently expected that we will be able to start manufacturing tires by the middle of March. Contractors have assured us that they will be ready by that time. We will be very glad to get started, be cause we have bona fide orders on our books right now for tires to the amount of S75O,OOO.
 I doubt if any other company engaged in the manufacture of tires ever booked orders to this amount months in advance of starting the factory.
 Theie is a reason for our booking many orders in advance of starting oper ations, and that reason is due to the con fidence reposed in MT. James Martin, the President of the company, who enjoys the reputation of being not only very square man but one who knows the tire business from the ground up-who has built up for himself a big trade among the dealers of the country, all of whom know that he gives them an honest deal and always makes good when he promises to deliver them tires. He has established ready made market for his tires and 1 believe honestly, before our factory has been run ming six months we will be working night and day to fill our orders.
