TO EXPEDITE COTTON EXPORTS

The movement to expedite the e&-
port of American cotton took a long
step forward in Atlanta, Ga, few
days ago, in the opinion Of more than
100 representatives, exporters and fl
nanciers who discussed the situation
with government officials and were
promised as great cooperation as pos
'sible by Eugene Meyer, Jr., manag-
ing director of the war finance corpo-
ration at Washington.
For one thing Mr.. Meyer promised
to recommend to the corporation that
credits be extended on bona fide sales
of cotton at interior points for export
instead of while it is at ports for eX-
port as at present. W. L. Clayton,
a cotton exporter of Houston, Texas,
in making a plea for such action, de-
clared it would "render invaluable aid
to exporters"
The proposal that the government
arrange to insure exporters against
loss from wars and revolutions in for
eign countries also was discussed and
a committee was appointed to take up
this and other proposals with gov
ernment officials. The committee
will meet in Washington May for
a conference with the war finance
corporation to develop a plan Of ac-
ton.

Ring Discovers New York

THE BIG TOWN. BY Ring w. Lard
ner. Bobbs- Merrill Company.
VV YELL, as Henry Seidel Car5y
A/ would say, another Lo"hin-
var has come up out of the
West; meaning that guy whose ma
tive habitat is somewheres the other
side of Hoboken has written a book.
All the staff reviewers is busY on
what the literary editor has nick
named worthwhile stuff; the free
lance bunch from Greenwich Village
si6e-stepped this volume because they
amt seen nothing printed about 1t yet
in the Dial; and the office boy has
gone to attend Columbia's weekly foot
ball defeat. So I suppose l got TO re-
view the blame thing.
The author is this Ring w Lardner.
The name of the tome is THE Big
Town" Maybe it would be giving
away the plot to say "The Big Town"
is New York, but between you and me
1 don't mind giving away anything so
longs it didn't cost me nothing.
| amt afraid to go even farther and
give away all I know about Ring w.
Lardner; which is plenty, because got
my start and expect TO see my finish
in the Central League, the Southern
Michigan and some of them other
Glass f circuits. That's how | come
to get a line on what all them bush
league baseball writer's around South
Bend, Kalamazoo, Evansville and
points Middle West say about Ring w.
Lardner and his stuff.
How does he get away with it?" is
the census of their opinions. There
ain't nothing to IT. All you gotta do
is to write damn oncst in a vile, put
in a occasional he'll, and then go on
natural, like a ordinary man would
talk. Cinch! Wisht I'd although Of
it first SOS l coulda cleaned up all the
jack this bird Lardner is cleaning
up"
Personally. which is what l have
adopted as my nom de plume. don't
subscribe to this school of thought.

his "3 Soldiers with "damns" and
"hells," but he didn't make nobody
