’ mes -Recorder Bureau,
Kimball House.
ATLANTA, July 18.—Legislators
Bre peculiar persons. They are very
unusual when compared to ordinary
citizens and are adapted to many
strange and amusing habits.
To them, life is more than one
lonK sweet dream. They know not
what they will do the next hour. They
ma y think they do, but the very mo
ment they are so lost in such thoughts
others are planning to disrupt
their pl ans •
Life -s just sur P r,se after an_
„ther with them and it’s no wonder,
ly mv accused of all kind of fool
ish habits-
For instance:
Senator L. C. Brown arises every
naming ano wakes every one on his
■ide of the K.mball house with songs
if jazz and classical variety just as
■he spirits of the day have aifectea
"senator Thomas, who resides in
he next room, therefore starts every
| BV with a few remarks which can
mi be published. Then he goes over
; the senate chamber and makes a
pede'.h' on some bill. He never
mows what his subject will be fin
il he arrives on the scene.
The gentleman Loin Dougheray
ounty, 'Seratvr Dennis Fleming,
pends his vacant hours read mg let
ers from constituents, or may
seen wrJ’ung around with an ann
ul of bills. Usually, seven*! seni
ors are following him. His Scotch
Irogue lends an attractiveness to his
Lice, and brings memories of better
Bays. „ ’
As for Senator O. K. Jones, .who
pandered to senate from Valdosta,
lis friends are calling' him “Alright,
le is a man of very few words. Con
iequently when he has anything to
ay, he has an attentive audience.
Senator J. M. Collum, of Schley,
akes life very seriously. But he
miles often, and never misses a word
hat falls from the lips of others dur
ng senate debates. A remarkable
mbit. He is persistent in his floor
actics, but one of the most courteous;
nembers of the upper branch, no
wing addicted to the habit of the
’lmmortal Trio,” Senators Nix, Jack
ion and Wohlwender, who make
mthes all the time, on all sub-
RBband with little rest.
IWnator Ellis is often called
Meacher.” Ke is accustomed to the
Kai devices of a minister and poli-
Kian— these are a friendly word
Ind' ready handshake for every one
■'meets. Senator Walker is plan-
Jing to introduce a resolution design
id to have Mr. Ellis “part his hair in
the middle on account of the fact
hat it now falls back in a stiff pom
)adour, giving him the impression of
wing a fighter.
■Johnny Jones—everybody knows
lohnny—has a cane. At least he
ised to have a cane, until a newspa
per man asserted at Herbert Clay’s
•arbecue that he needed it
rorse than the senator and there
fore appropriated it through the lat
ter s good graces. T’he senator from
LaGrange is the most polished speak
!r in the upper house, which may also
iccount for his popularity with the
airer sex of Atlanta. Because he’s

He discovered it was Mr. Sprinkle -Blow’s Matfic Umbrella.
Another thing Mr. Moon saw was
a peculiar looking object sailing up
straight to a bright star nearby.
Looking all his might he discov
ered that it was Mr. Sprinkle-Blow’s
magic umbrella, and astride it was
the fairyman, Nancy and Nick. The
three of them landed and went
straight to a barrel market! “Dense

they sailed straight to earth again,
landing this time in a low swampy
place not far from the plum tree
where Biddy Bantam was roosting.
Pretty soon they saw a sharp nose
poke itself out from the shadows
followed by a reddish brown body
and a long bushy tail. It was Fleet
Fox and he made straight for the
plum tree.
Next there was a scurrying and a
soft little Brown ball with two long
ears lopped past, heading straight)
for the sass-natch garden. “Cutie |

MONEY FOR COTTON READY
ON SAPIRO MARKET PLAN
The War Finance Corporation has
lined up squarely behind the first
big cotton growers association organ
ized under the Sapiro plan of co
operative marketing with an advance
of $5,000,000 and has announced it
self ready to finance other similar or
ganizations. This is taken by cotton
men to be of tremendous importance
to Georgia growers, the organization’
of the planters of this state under the
Sapiro plan now being on. Congress
man Chas. R. Crisp, of Americus, fur
nishes the Times-Recorder from
Washington a statement on the policy
of the War Finance corporation rela
tive to cotton loans issued by Eugene
M ?yer, Jr., its managing director.
Accompanying the statement was a
letter of Congressman Crisp from A.
W. iMcLean, a director of the War
Finance corporation, which said:
“My dear Congressman: I en
close press statement, showing re
cent plan adopted by the War Fi
nance .Corporation in respect to the
exportation of cotton. We are do
ing our very best to help out this sit
uation. The demand is so slack in
Eurone that the directors of the cor
poration thought best to offer this
the capital make Senator Jones one
of their favorites.
And this could continue forevrr, but
space is valuable. Sufficeth. to say
that Major Devereaux F. McClachey,
secretary of the senate, has a busy
time keeping up with his senatorial
children.

at something else.

Cutie should have been at home in
ben, but then how did he know that
Farmer Smith hadn’t planted his let
tuce on purpose for him to eat it? It
was certain, anyway, th nt s Chris
knew that Cutie wasn’t intended to
be a dinner for him, and he’s no
more business to be snooping after
him than Fleet Fox had to be snoop
ing after Biddy Bantam.
Well, Fleet arrived at the plum
tree, just as Cutie scurried past.
“M, m!” exclaimed Fleet, “I see
where I get two meals instead of
one.”
By standing on his hind legs, he
could just touch Biddy’s tail.

plan, by which cotton can be held
over for future export, so that the
actual export movement can take
place as fast as foreign markets will
absorb it.’
The statement by Managing Di
rector Me.ver follows in full:
, The advance of $5,000,000 to the
Staple Cotton Cooperative Associa
tion, of Memphis, approved recently
by thd War Finance I Corporation,
marks the adoption of a new policy
by the Directors of the Corporation.
The Corporation, which was directed
by the congress to resume operations
for the purpose of assisting in finan
cing the exportation of domestic pro
ducts by making advances to Ameri
can exporters and American bankers,
has steadily broadened its policy in
order to meet the present emergen
cy which exists in the marketing of
agricultural and other commodities.
At first, advances were made to ex
porters only on cotton actually ex
ported under definite contracts of
sWe, but later, following conferences
with cotton exporters and bankers
in Washington, New Orleans and
New York, the corporation announces
its readiness to consider applications
in connection with the exportation
of cotton on any one of the three
following plans:
1. For prompt shipment against
deferred payments.
. For future shipments within a
reasonable time against either
prompt or deferred payments, after
arrival in foreign countries where
goods were under definite contract
for sale; or
3. For prompt shipment to ware
houses in foreign distributing points
to be held there on account of the
American exporters and bankers for
marketing out of warehouses.
The advance to hte Staple Cotton
Cooperative Association carries thest
plans a step farther. By its terms,
the association agrees thai, out of
the 100,000 bales of long *aplc cot
ton pledged as security, it will export
within one year a quantity sufficient
to repay the full amount of the loan
out of the proceeds of export sales—
the cotton to be held in American
warehouses until the time is favor
able for export. The advance re
presents approximately one-half of
the present market value of tile cot
ton and will run for a maximum of
one year, but may be repaid sooner
AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
as the cotton is exported and sold.
The Staple Cotton Cooperative as
sociation comprises within *its mem
bership many of the leading cotton
planters in the Delta District of the
Mississippi. In fact, the owners and
producers of 220,000 bales of long
staple cotton, out of a total average
yield of approximately 600,000 bales,
have agreed to sell their cotton
through this organization. The action
of the corporation will enable the
association to market its cotton in
an orderly way during the current
cotton year without unduly forcing
sales.
If a similar plan could be carried
out in connection with other types
of cotton, it would be helpful in re
lieving the situation. Properly financ
ed, it would insure the orderly mar*
keting of the crop and make it un
necessary fcr the producers to dump
on the market unduly large quantities
of distressed cotton within a short
period. But it would do more. It
would help the market-so that the
consumers of cotton would perhaps
feel justified in replenishing their
stocks, which, in most cases, are much )
lower than usual at this season of
the year.
The War Finance Corporationl
stands ready to assist other organi-j
zations, as well as cotton exporters
and banking institutions, in the samel
way that it has assisted the Staple
Cotton Cooperative Association, pro
vided the advances can be made upon
a sound business basis and provided
also -that the corporation may be
definitely assured that the advances
will be repaid from the proceeds of
export sales Vithin a year.

WEEKLY BUSINESS REVIEW
Wall Street Expects Roads To
Start Boom
BY ALBERT APPLE.
Wall street now inclines to the be
lief that business revival, when it
starts, will begin with heavy buying
of equipment and supplies by the rail
roads.
Herbert Hoover points out that
"the railrqads normally consume 20
per cent of all materials* and em
ploy, directly or indirectly, 20 per
cent of all labor in the United
States.”
That is a potential buying power
big enough to pull the whole coun
try out of depression.
Hence Wall street considers it
very important that the railroads
lately are making a much better fi
nancial’ showing.
Idle freight cars have been reduced
to 373,791, says latest reports of
American Railway Association.
Three months ago there were 507,-
274 idle cars.
In the week ended June 25, latest
reported, number of cars loaded with
revenue-producing freight on all
American railroads was 775,061,
against 845,694 cars same week
1919.
Many railroad repair shops are
being re-opened.
Weathervanes.
“Last week was one of the most
satisfactory weeks in meat trade for
two years, despite the hot weather,”
says Armour & Co. This shows
better public confidence in business
situation. Butchers for several
months have been doing bad busi
ness, reflecting consumers’ economy.
June building activity was 6 per
cent less than May, in money fig
ures, say F. W. Dodge Co. reports.
iTotal tonnage Jof American ex
ports in May was 23 per cent greater
than in May 1913, with prices averag
ing 32 per cent higher
Auto business is tert p’ r cent more
prosperous than any otter industry,
claims Alfred Reeves, president, Na
tional Autumobile Chamber of Com
merce.
Cotton production promises to be
smallest in quarter century.
Textile manufacturers are running
average of 60 to 70 per cent capacity,
says Bradstreet’s.
I’ostoffice receipts at 50 leading
pdstpffices in June were nearly twice
as big as in June, 1913.
Corn exports last week 200 times
as big as same week in 1919, and
more than 10 times as big as same
week 1920.
Wholesale prices in June averaged
an advance of about 1 per cent, says
Bradstreet’s, which keeps tab on
prices of 96 leading commodities.)
But Dun’s, which keeps track of
prices of 327 articles, says wholesale
prices dropped average of nearly 4
per cent.
