THE MONEY TREE
By ETHEL M. TROY

Solicitations to the man or woman
who owns and operates a business
enterprise today! The rights and
privileges vested in the ownership
of a business are more highly
cherished now than ever before,
for despite taxation, competition
and gruelling business hazards the
owner of business enjoys greater
opportunities than those who own
no business.
The business man wants to pre-
serve the perpetuity of the bust
ness for his children.
He needs a growing reserve fund
to carry his business over spots of
future financial thin ice.
He wants to be able to with
draw his business interests at re-
tirement without suffering a
shrinkage in his investment, and
without at the same time affecting
the financial stability of the house.
He must have sinking fund to
absorb the shock of his possible
early death, well knowing that
without his management money in
the bank, machinery on the floor
and stock on the shelves are quick
ly inventoried as the dubious assets
of a sinking business.
The one dependable instrument
of finance into which all these
needs can be rolled is a Business
Insurance Policy.

Under the prcvisaons sof, the 1910
agricultural conservation program the
AAA will furnish superphosphate
ground limestone, seeds trees and
other materials for carrying out ap-
proved soil-building practices"
The county agents and administra-
tive assistants together with the
county and community committee
men have been asked to "acquain'
ell cooperating producers with this
provision of the program and begin
to taxi requests from farmers for
these materials
The procedure for obtaining mate
rails as grants-of-aid under the 1910
agricultural conservation program has
been SEN to county offices by T. N.
Patterson, administrative officer in
charge, AAA. Regulations covering
grants-of-aid under the 1910 aricul-
tural conservation program state that
producers are eligible to receive such
materials only If they are to be used
in carrying out approved soil-build-
ing practices.
Gra~nts-of-aid may be furnished up
to the amount of the maximum pay
ment which may be earned by carry
ing out soil+building practices on the
farm except that on farms which
have no cotton allotment the total
may not exceed 90 percent of the
maximum soil4building assistance"
Forms for making applications for
grants-of-aid may be obtained by
producers upon request to the county
offices All applications for grants
of-aid may be approved by the coun-
ty committee. Since most tanners
in the state are small producers il
Is usually necessary for groups of
farmers to combine their applications
in order to secure materials in a
load lots.

A Gentle Laxative

tasty laxative once will welcome it
the next time he's constipated and
it has him headachy, cross, l~istless,

Syrup of Black raught is a tasty
liquid companion to the famous
BLACK-DRAUGHT. The principal
ingredient is the same in both
products; helps impart tone to lazy

choice repossess and have the cot
ton resampled and sold ON actual
grade and staple" However, In many
instances, PATERSON says 1t will not
be necessary to make a cash refund
to the CCC for the amount of loan
plus interest and carrying charges as
the firm making the purchase might
agree to make the refund and remit
cash to the producer for his net
equity in the cotton.
Unfortunately, many producers sold
their equity in loan cotton at SO cents
to 81 per bale. This equity would
now be worth from 81 to 50 per bale,
depending on the grade and staple
of the cotton.
Administrator Patterson explains
that the carrying charges arc made
up mainly of warehouse charges and
interest and varies slightly depend
ing upon the storage rates in indi-
vidual warehouses and the amount Of
the loan.
The maximum storage rate for 1885
cotton placed under the loan was
set originally at IS cents a bale a
month. Interest on the loan was 4
percent which on a $40 loan would
amount to $3.50 a year of 10 1-3
cents a month. The interest factor
varies with the value Of cotton plac-
ed in the loan and so, to be exact
has to be figured on each loan sepa-
rately, Mr.. Patterson explained.
He went on to explain that storage
rates and interest rates have been
reduced this season, however both on
new loans and the 1888 loan cotton.
On July 81, 1889, storage rates were
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1940-02-29

reduced to a maximum of Is cents
and November l 1899, the storage
was cut to 1912 cents and the inter
est rate to 8 percent.
The county AAA offices have been
furnished with examples of how the
loan and carrying charges can be
easily calculated with a system in
which points" are used to obtain
the figure illustrating the amount the
farmer owes the government.

Several weeks ago we received an
item from New York saying that
Catherine Nethken had had some
poetry accepted, to appear in the 1910
edition of an Anthology of Verse.
The item didn't disclose her address,
but it was assumed she was from Gar
rett county and we thus stated in the
paper at that time.
Imagine our surprise when we
learned few days ago that it was
none other than Mrs. B. B. Nethken,
wife Of the big chap on the police
force in Oakland.

We are glad that the mail box, cor
ner Second and Green, has again been
lowered and placed in its proper po-
sition. Wired to the base of the tele-
phone pole, it was a source of much
worry as to how little children, or
even fair sized individuals could reach
the box, and it was in my mind several
times to provide a ladder for conven-
fence of customers.
Tale Bearing Condemned
An Editirial in the Evening Times
Monday struck our fancy. In Cumber-
land, as well as here there were evil
IDENTIFY number of whispered stories
of people arrested as spies or because
they were allegedly engaged in sub
versive activities against the govern
ment. One story had local resident
arrested as German spy; another
told of couple arrested for taking
pictures of tunnels and bridges along
the B. and O. Another was about some
mysterious foreign agent discovered
at Savage river dam and there were
stories about spies in the Celanese and
other industrial plants.
None of these rumors had any basis
of fact.
Such spreading of rumors can
cause irreparable harm to the indi-
viduals involved. The harm remains
even after it is found the persons
were innocent.
Gossip and rumors are not confined
to war spies alone.
Once upon time minister became
the target for idle tongues of gossip
ers. One woman in particular took
great delight in spreading the ru-
mors. In due time it was discovered
the minister was innocent and the
woman, in remorse, went to him and
asked what she could do to repair
the harm which she had done.
The minister requested she take a
pillow to the highest peak and there
release the feathers to the elements.
She returned to ask the minister what
more she could do. "Now go gather
