Finds Nitroglycerine,
 Takes It on Rough Ride

Chicago, Aug. 19 P-A lite bottle w. B. Martin was carrying on the hip last night was poten- tial dynamite. Still, it looked in nocent enough.
 He found It in the basement Of the drug store where he works. He put it in his pocket and went for an automobile ride.
 The contents of the bottle got a thorough shaking. for with all re- spect to the department of streets and alleys, some of the citys thoroughfares are not everything they might he.
 Kidding bither and thither, Martin casually bethought him. self of the bottle. What might it contain? Of a sudden there came a paralyzing thought. Precipitation beaded his brow. He drove eau tiously to police station where the sergeant took a quick glance and doused the bottle in water.
 T congratulate you," the ser- geant told Martin, lin being atl le to be up and about. At rough estimate there is in that bottle enough nitroglycerine to have rendered you, I should say, viz tually extinct"

FARM BOARD WILL
 AUD COTTON CROP Decides to Loan Money to Crow
 ars' Association Today LIMITED ONLY BY NEEDS
Plan Will Enable Cooperative Groups to Hold Product Until Favorable Marketing Time Ar rives, Members Explain.

Washington. Aug. 19 P-The federal farm board announced today it had tentatively agreed to make certain financial advances to cot ton cooperative associations to as- sist in the movements of this years crop.
 This decision was reached, the board. said as a result of num- Der of conferences with officials of the American Cotton Growers ex- change.
 These associations" the board announcement said, are now able to obtain loans from the federal inter mediate credit banks to the amount ot 65 per cent of the value of the cotton, The federal farm board pro- poses to loan an additional 25 per cent-a total of 90 per cent for the two government agencies-on co ton on which definite value has been fixed by hedging in the future mar kets.
 Limited Only By Needs
 The total volume of advances of this sort to be made by the federal farm board will be limited only Iy the actual requirements of the cot ton cooperative associations. It is expected that the sum involved for thls years marketing operations will run somewhere between s5,OQ0.G,, and s10.0O0,00O.
 The effect of the secondary loan by the federal farm board" the an- houncement continued, will be to permit the cooperative association, to make final settlement with shs member growers when the latter deslres to sell his cotton, without forcing that cotton onto the mar, ket at time when buyers may al- ready be oversupplied.
 Will Market at Best Time
 From the federal intermediate credit banks and the federal farm board, the association will receive advances equal to 90 per cent of the fixed value. To this amount the cotton associations will add 10 per cent from their own capital re- serve; will pay in full the grower who is in distress and must have money, and will at the same time De able to merchandise the cotton Tn an orderly fashion as the sDjn- nlng mills of the world require it."
