COTTON HIGHER

After opening with gains ranging
to so cents a bale on strong Liver
pool cables, the cotton market
eaSed somewhat from highs but
rallied again in later dealings to
run gains up almost to opening

find some manner in which crop
restrictions could be maintained
were among the more favorable
influences behind the rising mar
ket.
Trading was fairly active. with
the trade and foreign interests
providing most of the demand.

Keep Cotton Off
Sloping Fields, Is
Erosionist's Plea

Statesville, Aug. 13-"Keep cotton
and other clean cultivated crops off
the sloping fields" emphasized T. S.
Buie, Regional Conservator OF the
Soil Conservation Service, in an adj
dress today at the thirty-first annual
field day of the Piedmont branch ex-
pertinent station near here.
Soil conservation is a program of
wise land use, he said. North Caro-
lima farmers can obtain highest re-
turns from their farms by using each
acre of land for the purpose to which
it is best adapted. Keeping clean
cultivated crops off the hillsides and
using such lands for pastures, close
growing crops, and trees, protects the
soil against erosion.
While the government cannot do all
the work necessary for erosion con-
troll on every farm in North Carolina,
he stated, the Service in cooperation
with the State College Extension Ser
vice, Experiment Station, and other
agricultural agencies hopes to make
available to all farmers methods that
they can apply for themselves to con-
troll erosion.
To develop erosion control meth
DDS and to apply these measures in
a coordinated demonstration program
were cited as the two main purposes
Of the Soil Conservation Service in
the State. The third important func-
ton of the Service, he continued, is

1903 FARM DEBT
CASES ADJUSTED
Resettlement Work Gets
Results; 395 Cases in
North Carolina

Raleigh, Aug. 13.-RegiOnal head
quarters of the Resettlement Admin
istration announced today that 3,308
distressed farm debt cases, many in-
volving immediate threats of fore
closure, have been adjusted in five
states through the efforts of volun-
tary farm debt adjustment commit
tees.
These adjustments have resulted in
reductions of debt loads for the far
mers involved totaling $1,378,0O0 and
the immediate payment of 100000 in
taxes to local governments that would
have remained delinquent, Regional
Director Homer H. B. Mask stated.
The number of farm debts adjust
ed, total savings to farmers and taxes
paid were announced by states as fol-
lows:
North Carolina-395 cases adjusted !;
reduction 1887 900; taxes paid, $4,000.
Kentucky-968 cases adjusted; re-
duction, $333,O0O; taxes paid. $4,000.
Tennessee-823 cases adjusted, re-
duction, 100000; taxes paid, $4,000.
Virginia-834 cases adjusted; reduc-
ton, $393,000 taxes paid, 81, ZOO.
West Virginia-288 cases adjusted;
reduction, $2O5,0OO; taxes paid, $4,000
The figures for the five states are
from a cumulative report of farm debt
adjustment activities covering the pc
riod, September, 1885, to June, 1896,
Director Mask said. Hundreds of
cases in which adjustments are sought
satisfactory to farmers and their cree
ditors and avoiding foreclosures are
still pending in each state.
The report shows that during the
same period approximately 10000
farm debt cases were adjusted with
! reductions to the burdened farmers
totaling nearly $26,O00,00O in the en-
| tire nation.
1.-THE voluntary farm debt adjust
| ment committees bring debtors and
| farmer-creditors together in neutral
atmosphere in an effort to work out
a means of settlement satisfactory to
both,' Mr.. Mask stated. I'm some
cases an extension of time or low
! ering of the rate of interest is OBJ
| tanned. In other cases, the settlement
takes the form of a reduction of the
| debt or a new schedule of lower pay
| ments. The committees have no legal
| authority to enforce their recommen-
| dations, which are merely offered in
the form of friendly and neighborly
| counsel to both parties.
1.-The total cost of the farm debt
adjustment activities of the Resettie-
| ment Administration has amounted
to about / per cent of the amount of
indebtedness involved. Memoirs of the
| voluntary committees draw no sal
aries but get reimbursement for small

had gone to sleep, and her whole
body ached more YEARLY than
after a long Saturday night Of
checking. But there were 10 pre-
cious minutes Of relaxation before
she had to take the pose again,
for which Gay was duly thankful.
At six o'clock Mark called a halt,
and Mrs. Vance, who had been fix

moned them into the litchenette,
where all three sat around eating
and chattering together in what
Gay found delightful intimacy.
The conversation turned after a
while to the house-warming party
Wayne Adams was giving on Sat-
urday night, and from that, to the
host himself.
Gay, listening interestedly while
she drank her coffee, learned
several facts about Wayne she had
not known before. That he was
the inventor of an entirely new
and revolutionary type Of airplane
motor, which, if It proved prac-
teal, would bring him a fortune.
That he was the protege of Mrs.
Grace Larrimore, who had met
him two or three years ago in New
York, and had since taken a great
interest in his career.
"And in him." added Charlotte
Vance, meaningly. "Grace thinks
he's terribly attractive!"

She led the way into the huge,
bare room. You're to undress in

While Gay was stepping out of
her clothes, behind the tattered
screen. Mrs. Vance kept up a rapid
conversation.

how you'll manage to loll on that
hard platform, but maybe we can
dig up an old quilt or something
for you to lie on. hope you don't
collect too many splinters!"
Mark arrived soon, and Gay
stepped out from behind the
screen, feeling rather self-con-
scious. She had wound a bright
red bandanna about her hair, and
slid her feet into long, narrow red
slippers. AS for the bathing suit,
Gay felt positive no one would
wear such a costume in public. It
was white silk, terribly low in
front, with two straps crossing like
a child's sun-srit in back, and 60
ing into brief, straight panties at
the bottom.

quite right, Mark. She's exactly

The artists manner was bust

Miss Elwell, before we start, I'd
like to tell you that I'm one OF

thing-have some idea Of the poses
We'll want. Charlotte, find the
manuscript, will you, and read tc

Obediently, Charlotte Vance
read aloud from the type script
and Gay learned that she was now

out of her chair. You're jealous,

Then why can't make Eleanor

mattel"
He cried, Lets give it a try,
anyway. Make it a regular bust

Gay shook her head. "It isn't u
question of money"
Then the memory Of Eleanor
Randolph's friendly confidence in a
check girls honesty, in spite of un-
favorable evidence, came back
wildly to Gays mind. Impulsive-
ly she leaned forward, and linked
her hand into Tins.
II like you-and I admire Miss
Randolph more than any woman
I've met in Detroit. I'll be willing
to do anything can, to help you
two get married"
Gay made her first appearance
as artists model on the Tuesday
following that momentous visit at
Tim Keenan's country estate. She
found posing in some ways easier,
and In some ways far more diff
cult, than she had anticipated.
The studio was big, barn-like
room which Mark Vance had re-
Gently rented, on the top floor of
an old house on Rowena street.
Much to Gays disappointment it
displayed no tiger rugs, oil paint
1ngs, or Russian samovars: it was
nothing but a wide expanse Of un-
carpeted floor space, with a very
untidy kitchenette in the far
aIcove, a huge glass skylight
above. and no furniture except two
or three battered chairs, a screen,
a models platform, and the easel
at which the artist worked. Moth
ing more different from Gays ro-
mantle conception of an artists
studio could possibly be imagined.

A STRAIGHT-FORW STATEMENT
 OF PRINCIPLES

In sharp contrast to the Republican platform, which leans in some blanks toward Rooseveltian policies and in others straddles the the hope of appealing to both liberal and conservative element is the short Democratic platform adopted at Phia- delphia In brief the Democratic platform is simply the reiteration of faith in the policies that have been put in effect during the Democratic regime to meet existing conditions
 On taxation for example the Democratic party stands frankly the premise of revenues secured from levied in accordance with the ability to pay while the G. O. P. talks of direct tax widely distributed" The latter can mean anything, while the Democrats have written no sugar-coated words but simply acknowledged that blood be gotten from turnp. They know that taxes must come from those who have something to pay taxes with as does everyone who doesn't have the difficult job of writing Republican platform that is aimed to get votes.
 The Democratic platform stands squarely on power and housing. On the former it promises to promote rural identification and cheap power The Republican party, which, through the Liberty League, has spent large sums of money trying to outlaw the IVA program failed entirely to mention power. On housing one of the nations most pressing problems, the G. O. P also is significantly silent yet the Demo- cratic party asserts that the people entitled decent and adequate housing at a price they can afford and it promises to encourage private con struction of homes ~s # ss ttt 9et Asss Ffs
 There is nothing radical utopian about the Democratic platform. The Townsend plan, produc- tion for and multitude of other hay ideas were cast aside Such things not children the Demo- cratic mind although they often hurled at Presi- dent Roosevelt by those who would stoop any in accuracy in effort to backen his record It is rather, straightforward statement of principles sound principles which have definitely carried the nation back keel after the Hoover debacle and which will carry it forward to greater prosperity and further security for all the people
