thing is that while the workers oft

it is because workers, being mar

Cotton Now Traded
At Higher Prices

Atlanta, Ga.-Numerous plans Tor
heping the Georgia and Southern
farmer to dispose of his cotton at a
better price are being suggested and
some of them are being given practl-
caI demonstration, it was stated here
~ cotton circles In some part OF the
South merchants are offering to buy
cotton at several cents above the mar
ket price, provided the farmer will
take ND the amount in merchandise
in the store of the buyer. This IS
not exactly a new plan, it was stated,
hut it could be very helpful If the
merchandise is not priced too high.
Some motor car dealers in some
narts of the Sout, in fact in Atlanta,
dealers state, are offering to take cot
ton in exchange for cars at current
prices of the cars and are paying an
advance over current price for the
cotton.
"Since many farmers have cars
and many others need them, the pro-
posal probably meets with ready re-
sponse in places where it is made, !"
said one Atlanta dealer. "Yet it is
not an entirely new plan for it has
always been possible for the farmer
with cotton to sell to find chance
to turn it in for motor car or truck,
and generally the motor car dealers
are exceedingly liberal in paying for
the cotton and in making easy terms
on any part of the car payment that
the cotton may not cover"
Here in Georgia real estate deal
ers are offering to pay fancy prices
for cotton if the farmers will turn it
in on purchases of property. Town
lots and country tracts both are Of
fered on the basis of exchange for
cotton for the land. Solleges in
Georgia also are said to be accept
ing cotton at advanced prices in ex-
change for tuition of farmers sons
and daughters.
But the plan that promises the most
to the farmer, it was asserted here,
is the cooperative selling plan favor
ed by bankers and business men in
the movement to retire a goodly por-
ton Of this years crop from sale.
This, it is claimed, is a practical plan
that promises relief, for II a consid-
cradle portion Of the crop Is held of
the market this year, the demand
will increase and the price necessari-
ly will rise. The fact that the fl
nancing plans for the orderly selling
and the retiring movement are now
made shows that farmers and finan-
ciers alike are determined that the
situation shall not interfere with
business or the agricultural industry
in the South.

Southern cities to lend no money to

A record of the police court IS al
so printed, from which the following
notes were taken:
John Morris, brought up for at
tempting to pass counterfeit money
to a bow of 16, who keeps an oyster
cell in Church street.
Harriet Shultz, charged with COM
hitting a violent assault on the per-
son of Henry Shultz, one of her nus
bands. who appeared against her as
complainant; he stated that his wife
was generally pretty clever to him,
but by some means or other, she was
more ill-natured than usual last
night, and took occasion to give him
something of flogging-he stood on
the defense when his wife made the
attack. but finding himself unable to
cope with her in the matrimonial COM
bat. he bawled murder" which
brought a Waterman to his assistance
The injured husband, with the assls-
lance of the Waterman, succeeded IN
capturing his tyrannical rib ana
brought her, a prisoner, to the watcn
house. On their promising to live
together preacefull than rtehts hadt
together peaceably for the future
they were discharged.
John McMan, brought up for whip
ping Juda McMan, his darling wife
his excuse was, that his head was
rather thick, in consequence OF TAX
inc a wee drap of whiskey. Not be-
;nu able to find bail he was accommo-
dated with a room in bridewel.
Joseph Parish, brought up for ex-
ercising the muscles of his right arm
by pounding John Nixon on the head
with his fist. Mr.. Nixon not appear
ing against him, he was discharged.
VIM. Scott, from Centre Market,
brought up for assaulting Charlotte
Gray, young woman with whom ne
lived. The magistrate, learning that
thew never were married, offered the
prisoner a discharge, odn condition
that he would marry the injured GIRL
who was very willing to withdraw the
complaint on such terms. Mr.. Scott
cast a sleeps eye toward the girl,
and then looking out Of the window,
gave the bridewell melancholy sur
vey: he then gave the girl another
look, and was hesitating as to which
he should choose wife or prison.
The Justice insisted on an immediate
answer. At length he concluded that
he "hmight as well marry the critter,"
and they left the Office apparently
satisfied.
Alfred Parker, brought up for en-
tering the victualling house Of
black man near Fulton Market, and
upsetting table Of pies, picked lob

pute by paying the complainant two

CARDINALS LEAvEA

EUCHARISTIC MEET

New York, June 16-(P)-New
York today waved farewell to nine
red-hatted cardinals who left to at
tend the Eucharistic Congress at
Chicago, and greeted more than 200
foreign delegates arriving from
abroad.
The cardinals, who departed in a
special train of seven red pullman
cars fitted with every luxury. and in
charge of a crew of Catholics, were
given farewell that rivalled the
ovation given them yesterday at City
Hall.
The concourse OF Grand Central
Terminal was thronged with thous-
ands who struggled for the prigilege
OF kissing the rings of the cardinals
The cardinals party numbered "A,

There were four archbishops, seven
bishops and monsignors and lesser
prelates.
Shortly after the cardinals left the
permanent committee of the Euchar-
1stlc Congress departed in q special
train from the Pennsylvania terminal
via the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
The committee. numbering 16, was
headed by the Ri. Rev. L. Heylen,
Bishop of Namur, Belgium.
Three Jugoslavian Bishops arriv-
ing on the Olympic were given an es-
cort of detectives from the bomb
squad" as they came ashore. No
official statement for the reason for
this extra protection was given, but
police said there was bitterness be-
tween the clerical party and the left
wing of the Jugo- Slavia government
and that it had been decided to give
a police escort as a precaution.

solve the pressing financial and poll

Only yesterday, NJ. BRAND. long a
veteran breaker and maker Of cab
inets. resigned his ninth ministry
shortly after his finance minister
Raoul Peret, had given up his port
folio because of lack of support for
his projects to save the franc.
Mr.. BRAND accepted the mission
to form his tenth ministry after
President Doumergue had conferred
with the leaders of all the groups In
the chamber of deputies and the
senate. Most of these leaders
recommended that national union
cabinet be formed under the PREMIER
ship of the man of Locarno."
The first snag which M. BRAND
struck was the refusal of former
Premier Herriota to enter a coalition
Der, who also is president of the
former members of his cabinet who
understood the entry Of radicals in
to the cabinet had been opposed.
Despite this obstacle, NJ. BRAND
decided he could not refuse to do
whatever he could to form q nom
partisan government. He will APP
point former President Poincare to
take the finance portfolio and will
call on the leaders of all the prin-
cipal groups in the senate, except
the Royalists and Communists, to
take part in a determined effort fin
ally to life France out Of the slough
of financial disorder.
The task which Mr.. BRAND has set
for himself amounts to the forma-
ton of new majority in Parlia-
ment, built up by support from
the moderates and conservatives.
The Socialists are opposed to a I'M
ion cabinet, and could not take part
in it anyway under recent decision
taken at their party conference. The
radicals are split. About half of the
group, which numbers 1872, are I'M
compromising opposed to any COLA
boration, with groups other than the
socialists and Republican socialists.
By bringing NJ. Poincare and other
leaders of the moderate group into
the cabinet, NJ. BRAND hopes TO
fortify his recent majorities. most of
which were furnished by the moder-
ates and conservatives. In this way
he hopes to obtain solid parlia-
mentary backing for the stringent
measures now in view to stabilize the
franc.

Out of Luck for

New Haven, Conn, June 16.-P)
Yale undergraduates who go to
the Yale Harvard regatta at New
London next week will be in the
same boat with the general public
in that they will have to see the
crews go by from other vantage
points than observation trains.

boat race day will be graduates,
gave notice that all Undergraduate
applications for seats on the trains
had been cancelled. The New York.

will supply "a cars and the Central

trains. The excess of applications
of Yale men for seats were 700 over
the number allotted.
Mr.. Woodcock suggested that a
few single seats might be available
to undergraduates and they might
send in their checks for $3.50 each
and take a chance.
