Nv r.. II WHITNEY

\. e. A. staff Correspondent
NEW YORK-Three drops OF
blood have disproved James a. still
mans charges that baby Guy Still
man is the child of Mrs. Stillman and
Fred Beauvais. according TO the
statements OF Mrs. Stillman's coun-
sci. Now they are prepared to ask
Stillman to surrender a fourth drop
OF blood-the drop by which they
are confident they can prove little
Guy is his own son.
Therefore a hundred million dol
lars. a woman's reputation and
child's fair name hinges on one drop
OF blood.
Here's Status of Case.
Developments have come fast and
furious In the Stillman divorce case
and they will reach their climax in
the formal divorce hearing before
the referee starting May 4.
| THE CHARGE: Sullman multi
millionaire president Of the National
CITY Bank, accuses his wife Of in
fidelity and charges that her son,
Guy. born in November. 1918. is not
his. but the offspring OF the French
Indian guide, Beauvais. one time en-
ployed at the Stillman summer home
at Three Rivers, Quebec, Canada
He asks absolute divorce, names
Boauvais as correspondent, and de-
mands the custody OF his two ac-
knowledged children, Anne, 10, and
James A. Jr.
letters Figure
THE DENIAL: Mrs. Sullman,
formerly Fin" Potter, society belle,
denies the charge and alleges that
her husband has been and is main
tanning in luxury a former chorus
girl. Florence Leeds. and that this
woman's son, Jay Leeds born also
| in 1918. is in reality the illegitimate
son Of her husband. She seeks alb
solute divorce, $780, 900 a year ALI
mony. a court mandate describing
| Guy Stnlman as a legitimate child,
and the custody OF her other son and
daughter
THE sKIRMISH: Seven letters
alleged to have been written by
Beauvais to Mrs. Stllman and Of
fered as evidence by the banker are
excluded by the supreme court. A
so-called "hysteria confession" al
legged TO have been written by Mrs
Stulman TO her husband is also bar
red. Mrs. Stillman is awarded 500.

How to Organize.

MR.. SAPIRO-That is, of course, a
very splendid hope and a very splendid
thought. In those farmers interested
IN the warehouses you nave the key
to this whole Burley cooperative
movement in Kentucky. You can get
those men once you show them that
their investment in warehouses is not
to be dumped.
Along with this plan you will have
to go into each community and get
together as many of the so-called lead
ing stockholders as you can, and have
the organization make written agree
ment with those men that the ware
houses will be taken over at an APP
praised value by subsidiary corpora.
ton and the marketing association
would absolutely guarantee there
would be no loss on the investment
under the plan. You will have to ap-
point special committee on ware
houses to call on the, so-called prom
inent stockholders and make a writ
ten agreement with them conditional

Tenants Become Owners.

MIR. SAPIRO-We started in with
the same thing out there. Here is an
interesting thing: Where you have a
cooperative marketing association for
term of years you can mathemat-
ically show a decrease in the tenant
system and an increase in the small
owner system. But we originally
started with tenant system. Let us
first distinguish between the cropping
system and the tenant or lease system.
Technically the difference between
the cropping and lease system is that
with the cropping system the landlord
retains the title to the product, and
the so-called cropper has nothing
whatsoever to do with the marketing
of the product except occasionally as
a matter of courtesy the landlord let's
him do so. If your arrangements are
cropping arrangements, as in some
tobacco districts in South Carolina
and some cotton districts in the South,
then the only person to sign up is the
landlord. If your arrangement is the
standard leasing system you have this
problem: If the landlord is passive
that is, doesn't oppose the thing. but
is passive-you may sign up the ten
ant without doing any harm and SIM
ply take care of the tenants share. II
the landlord is favorable you sign
both the landlord and the tenant. If
the landlord is antagonistic, as some
times happens, then. even though the
tenant wants to sign up, don't sign
up the tenant because you get him in
trouble with his landlord. That is
the rule we always observe. Wher-
ever possible. however, sign up both
the landlord and the tenant. If. how
ever. you have case of lease on
cash basis YOU sign up, of course. only
the tenant because the landlord is not

Ready aSaIability of Stock.

Here is what happens: You get a
preferred stock which is absolutely
guaranteed both as to payment of
dividends and retirement of principal.
Now you can go to the public and sell
that stock, because it is guaranteed
like bond, guaranteed at a ratio of
fifty to one, based not on top markets
but on average markets.
You ask the public to buy the pre-
ferred stock. The growers put their
crops behind those shares. They
show their good faith. Then they
say IF you are interested and want
plant in your place, or want a plant
at all, buy this preferred stock"

The Grain Warehouses.

Here is the plan in a nutshell: Sup
pose marketing association needs
warehouses. You figure out first where
your warehouse is needed and how
much you are going to need. Lei us
take an illustration not in reference to
tobacco, but in reference to something
actually being worked out now.
For wheat the Washington Wheat
Growers Association needs ware
houses. They need great big elevator
near Pullman, Wash. That is in Whit
man County, the chief wheat county
of the State. The elevator is calculated
