FEDERAL RESERVE
CHIEFS TO MEET
GOVERNORS OF FIVE REGIONAL
BANKS CALLED TO CONFER
ENCE ON LOAN POL'CV
POLICY IS TO BE UNIFORM
Orderly Marketing Of The Cotton Crop
The Coming Season Is One of
Chief Objects Sought
Washington—Governor Harding of
the federal reserve board announces
that he has called a conference here
of the governors of the five reserve
banks in the great cotton producing
sections of the country to adopt a
uniform policy on cotton loans during
the coming marketing season.
Governors of the reserve banks of
Richmond, Dallas, Atlanta, St. Louis
and Kansas City have been invited,
Mr. Harding says.
The conference, the governor ex
plains, would work out a uniform pol
icy on cotton loans for the orderly
marketing of the crop and would is
sue a statement back by an announce
ment by the board, which would set
forth the cotton loan policy of the five
districts for the season.
Many requests have been received
from cotton interests, the governor
says, asking the board to make known
its policy on cotton loans. The board,
he explains, does not make loans, and
in order to insure uniformity through
out the cotton sections of the coun
try, it was deemed advisable for rep
resentatives of the reserve banks in
those districts to meet here and for
mulate a plan to be followed. The
board, he adds, w r ould give its assur
ances that the policy would be car
ried out and that the re-discounts by
the reserve banks would be obtain
able.
The governor did not discuss details
of the proposed policy, but indicate
careful consideration would be given
to the terms of cotton paper and the
adequacy of security offered for ad
vances.
Mercy Of Jurors Saves Mrs. Kaber
Cleveland, Ohio. —Through mercy
recommended by a jury of men, Mrs.
Eva Catherine Kaber recently escaped
the electric chair, though guilty of
first degree murder for plotting the
assassination of her husband, Daniel
F. Kaber. It was the hope that mercy
would be extended by those of the
opposite sex which induced her coun
sel to exclude women jurors on the
ground that they are “more cold
blooded and merciless than men.’’ At
tempt was made to invalidate panels
of tentative jurors because there were
women on them, and when women
w r ere tentatively seated on the jury
they were dismissed by the defense
on peremptory challenge.
What To Wear Does Not Cut Figure
Constantinople.—What to wear isn’t
counted among Near East problems.
Recently an American, newly arrived,
made the round of the local stores
for a bathing suit. Finally he found
a pair of brief tights. When he com
plained that he wanted a two - piece
suit, the merchant answered: “We
can’t afford to carry dead stock. Most
people are satisfied without that
much.” At the American embassy
there is one “high” or top silk hat
which is at the common disposition of
those civil officials who are obliged
to have such an article on rare occa
sions, such as funerals of local digni
taries. The hat was discarded by a
pre-war official.

HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH. GEORGIA.
®*IEW JERSEY be
1* came the third
after Pennsylvania
had formally
adopted the Constl
tory, which cover*
8,224 square miles, originally was a
part of the province of New Nether
lands. In 1664, after the English con
quest of New Netherlands, the duke
of York sold the southern portion to
Lord Berkeley and Sir George Car
teret. The later had won some dis
tinction as governor of the little is
land of Jersey in the English channel,
and it was in his honor that the new
province came to be called New Jer
sey. The eastern portion, that about
Newark, was settled by Carteret and
the territory to the southwest, where
Burlington and Trenton now stand,
fell to Berkeley. After a few years
Berkeley sold his share to a party of
Quakers and two distinct provinces
were formed, called East and West
Jersey. They were reunited, how’ever,
In 1702, and become a single province
under the direct rule of the English
crown.
New Jersey casts fourteen electoral
votes for President.
GEORGIA
/\N JANUARY 2,
U 1788, Georgia
accepted the Con
!l£( stitution and be
// canie fourth
\\ state in the Union.
The settlement of
Georgia was con
ceived as a buffer against the depre
dations of the Spaniards and Indians,
whose invasion of South Carolina had
reached a climax in 1715 with a raid
in which four or five hundred settlers
had been massacred. To protect South
Carolina from future inroads James
Oglethorpe planned a colony to the
south, and in 1732 he obtained from
George II a grant of land. The new
territory was consequently named
Georgia, after (he king. The deed
states that the land'was granted “in
trust for the poor.’’ This referred to
Oglethorpe’s plan to have as the set
tlers the insolvent debtors who, ac
cording to the laws of that time in
England, were cast in prison. Many of
these were released from prisons and,
re-enforced by some Germans and
Scotch Highlanders, founded the town
of Savannah in 1733 and rapidly
spread up and down the coast, where
successful plantations of rice and Indi
go soon became established. Georgia
continued to prosper until the popula
tion of its 59,265 square miles entitles
it to a representation of 14 presiden
tial electors.
HAVE MANY PRETTY LEGENDS
Coupled With Their Belief In “Magic,"
Indians Possess Interesting Sto
ries of the Creation.
Civilized Indians are very reluctant
to give up their belief in magic. The
idea of worshiping objects is quite a
settled one among the tribes, and some
stories which connect corn and flow
ers with beneficent deities are very
pleasing and attractive. Animals, too,
are spoken of in a very singular and
superstitious manner, and the different
sizes of the beasts which are hunted
is accounted for in a story of the crea
tion, which has many variations, but
always agrees that at the time of the
creation all of the beasts clamored for
priority in size.
Each was vain and dictatorial, and
one after another was humbled by be
ing made smaller than a hated enemy,
the idea being that everything human
and otherwise that was born had a
prior existence and came into the
world with the benefit of the experi
ence thus derived.
Indians in many tribes believe in
the doctrine of transmigration of souls,
by which is meant that they believe
souls, after the death of the bodies of
animals that they have Inhabited, pass
into the bodies of others.
No Need to Be Told.
A lad of fifteen was driving along a
country road, taking a load of calves
to market, when he chanced to meet a
company of young folks who wore evi
dently on a pleasure jaunt.
The young men of the pleasure par
ty thought that they would have some
fun at the expense of the farmer’s boy,
and commenced to moo like calves.
But their merriment was of short
duration for, without a moment’s hesi
tation, as the vehicles were passing,
the country lad called out to his
would-be tormentors:

and bloating. Why, I was actually
starving to keep from being In such
awful misery, and I lost thirteen
pounds in weight. Sometimes I won
