‘We insure cotton anywhere for any time. Rate# reason-
able. If you are going to hold you should insure.
Remember our special fire and tornado policy on farm
dwellings and barns. You pay one-third of the premium in
cash and we give one and two years on the balance at eix
per cent.
We have a few thousand dollars to invest at 10 per cent.
This is the very best we are able to offer in the way of rates
at present. The money market is very, very hard just now.

There has been a movement in-
iated by the good ladies of the
Red Cross in the United States to
furnish the soldiers of the armies
of Europe in night shirts. If this
plan is to assist the cotton grower
of the South, it looks all right, bn*
if they expect to benefit the sol-
diers by giving them nighties w'e
are afraid they are taking .the
wrong step. Picture a grimy
hoarded soldier on the field with
the thermometer at zero,stripping
off his clothes and sleeping on the
ground in a nice flimsy night shift,
theft let him he surprised in the
night and not have time to get his
clothes before business took him
away. No doubt they need «
change of clothes. Will Irwin
speaking of their unbathed condi-
tion says: “And over it all, lay a
smell of which 1 never heard men-
tion in xny book on war-=tho
smell of a half million unbathed
men, the stench of a menagerie
raised to the nth power of stench.
That smell lay for days over ev-
ery town through wdiieh the Ger-
mans passed.” We suppose, how-
ever, that these garments were in
made without any argument what-
ever, receive credence. The hark
proposed wa* an exact eopy of the
national hanking act, with the ex-
ception that it was capitalized on
the school fund. It would give
money to the state banks the
same as the national banks can
j?et additional money now. There
»s no reason to hope that state
hanks would be any more liberal
than national banks. This objec-
tion is enough to bury it if it oou’d
survive political coutrol and false
capitalization.
