their expenses here by working in the
kitchen or waiting on the table serv
ing those who are to attend.
Libby to Speak.

of each lecture of the series is from
10:45 to 1870 each morning. The

God in the Life of a Friend; Faith
N the Life of a Friend" Love in the
Life of Friend" Helping God BuilC
Heaven and What Doth the Lore
Require of Thee"
II is the plan of Mr.. Libby to show
first the need of the world physically
and spiritually for leadership, ant
light and hope and peace, all incarnatt
in personalities.

let the European consumers Of this
kind of cotton see that the owners
of it are protected financially and can
not be made to accept lower prices.
The desired psychological effect should
be TO make the European spinners
realize that cotton has reached its
lowest price, and thereby stimulate
buying on their part.
Send Telegram
Having taken this step, the War
Finance corporation, with an initiative
characteristic of it but infrequent in
government institutions sent a re-
markable telegram to the Federal In
ternational Banking company of New
Orleans. This banking company was
organized last winter in the south
under the Edge law, through subscrip-
tons from 1,400 southern bankers and
other subscribers, for the purpose of
promoting the financing of the export
trade.
The telegram from the war finance
corporation to these southern bankers
read: You have no doubt seen the
announcement that the war finance
corporation has agreed TO make an ad
vance of S5,0O0,000 to the Staple Cot
ton Cooperative association of Mem
phis to assist in financing cotton to
be held in American warehouses for
export within a year This loan is
considered absolutely safe business
and helpful in promoting the orderly
marketing of the crop in the territory
in which this cotton is grown.

YELLOW HAND WINS
C. A. Stoneham's Great Horse Nosea Out Mad Halter in Wonderful Fin ish Of Saratoga Handicap.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Aug. 2.- Beneath the gold and azure of tho sun and sky of a sparkling summer afternoon racing came back to Sara toga today. It's return brought tho running of the classic Saratoga han dicap and with the contest the most hair-raising, nerve-racking, blood tingling finishes ever seen on an American track. By sheer gamenesc, by the quintessence of the grand old thoroughbred Quality of Courage, Charles Stoneham's bay ge1ding, Yel- low Hand, managed to get his name into the turf hall of fame by the thinnest of noses-i> was really about an eighth oi nostril. That length of nostril back of nim was tho Ran cocaa Stables brown horse, Mad Hat ter, victor in many a desperate race, but lacking that last ounce of grit so splendidly displayed by the win nef.
 All the way down the final fur1ong of the stretch the battle had been tough; between these two. while 1000 men and women shrieked.
 Turning into the stretch Mad Hat ter led Yellow Hand by head, tho remainder of the field of five being al ready beaten. Down the stretch thun- dered tho brown and the bay, head and head. Sande on Mad Halter and Miller on Yellow Hand giving every thing of their skill as their mounts were giving everything of their speed. So close was the finish, however, that many thought Mad Halter waa the winner, and few knew definitely until the numbers went up. Then came a few scattered misses from packers or admirers of the Rancocas horse, who declared that their choice had got his nose over the line first. At an angle, it did look as if the vet eran had done the trick again, but directly on the line it could be seen that Yellow Hand had won by a hair.
