who have been studying the situa
tion, and they say planters should
make haste to store their bales out
of the weather.
Hankers, It Is stated, can perform a
valuable service by using every re
source to force cotton into storage.
Haynes McKadden, secretary of the
Georgia Bankers' Association, Is send
ing out to members a letter written
to President L. G. Council of the as
sociation, by Mr. Mills B. Lane, of
Savannah, who says:
"It is out opinion that the planter
will he ns great a loser by damaged
cotton next spring when he Is ready
to sell as he Is damaged by low prices
now. I believe it would do more good
if the bankers' association could bring
<|i
about a campaign to make the farm
ers protect their cotton tlian anything
it has attempted.”
Commenting on this President
Council says:
"I certainly think it would be well
for our association to get busy along
this line and try to prevail upon the
farmers to store their cotton in the
warehouses and out of the weather.
If our banks will take hold of this it
will, In my Judgment, help materially.
"I might also say that the farmers,
as I see It, should bring their cotton
in to. the warehouses If for no other
purpose than to turn the receipts
over to their creditors. In my section
I find many of them are holding back
their cotton on their farms, when they
have obligations that should be se
cured at least with the warehouse re
ceipts for this cotton until finally
sold.”
The Hankers’ Association, which Is
making every effort to relieve the sit
uation in eotton. will make a cam
paign all over the state, urging that
the cotton be properly protected.

RESERVE BANKS,
COTTON CROP
Southern Members Favor An
Early Opening. Probable Date
is Between November 16-20.
Washington.—Although representa
tives of the twelve federal reserve
hanks voted In favor of opening the
hanks November 30th, members of
the reserve hoard today were going
ahead with plans for putting the new
hanking system In operation . .ovem
her 16lli, or November 20th, If It be
found that this can he accomplished,
banking system In operation Novem
16th and President Wilson thought
the banks should begin business at
the earliest possible date.
As the currency act empowers Mr.
McAdoo to open the hanks whenever,
111 his opinion, they are ready to trans
act business, the vote of the banks’
representatives does not hind the sec
retary or the reserve board.
An early date was favored by some
of tlie southern bankers, as they
thought the federal banks might ren
der aid in handling the cotton crop.
The directors were leaving for their
homes today to begin the work pre
liminary to the opening of the banks.
HARD FIGHTING
BF HOKE SMITH
Atlanta, Ga.—The defeat of the cot
ton relief bill In the national house
of representatives last nlsht seemed
to mark the last hope of the Southern
democrats who had worked so hard,
but dispatches received here stated
that Senator Hoke Smith and hta as
sociates had not yet abandoned the
fiftht and would not until the final
adjournment of conpress.
The bill provides for the deposit of
two hundred and fifty million dollars
of government funds in southern
banks to be loaned to coton planters
and growers. The vote was 121 to 91
against It.
Even those who helped to defeat the
measure paid a tribute on the floor
to Senator Smith, who had worked so
strenuously to secure some kind of
legislation which would help the
outli In her crisis. Had It not been
for the Indifference of Northern and
Western democrats the measure
would have passed, a number of Re
publicans believing In Us value and
voting for it.

WHITE MOTOR TRUCKS
Are the Nation’s Choice
BOTH IN THE QUANTITY OF TRUCKS SOLD AND
IN THE VALUE OF TRUCK SALES, WE ARE
THE LARGEST MANUFACTURERS OF COMMER
CIAL MOTOR VEHICLES IN AMERICA.
Official Records of the Motor Truck Industry Verify This Statement
This Leadership of the Truck Industry is of the utmost import
ance, both to the many who already own White Trucks, and to
the many others who will eventually purchase White Trucks.
TO THE OWNERS OF
WHITE TRUCKS
THIS LEADERSHIP proves the
correctness of your judgment in
selecting your motor truck
equipment.
It shows that you have chosen
the same motor truck that the
majority of truck users in America
have selected.
In practically every case, this selection
has been the result of a process of rigid
experimentation and elimination, in which
White Trucks have proved their superiority
over all others.,
This preference for White Tracks by the
largest users of motor trucks as well as by
the majority of motor truck users guarantees
that your investment is protected by a suc
cessful, well established manufacturer,
having a superior organization for rendering
permanent and efficient service during the
life-time of the trucks.
WHITE TRUCKS ARE MOST ECONOMICAL TO OWN
That White Trucks are slightly higher in price, makes White leadership in the truck
industry even more complete. It is plain evidence that White construction is so
superior that the higher first cost of a White Truck is economy in the long run—
proof that White Trucks last longer and cost less to operate and maintain, making
them the most economical trucks to own.
White Trucks are built in capacities of %, IV2 I 3 and 5 tons

Your Service
Many telephone users seem
to not know how to make 9
second call.
If you wish to attract the op
erator’s attention at any time
during the conversation, or ii
you wish to call another num
ber, move the hook up and
down slowly two or three
times.
Do not move the hook rapid
ly as a rapid movement does
not give any signal.
When the operator says
“Line busy,” hang up the re
ceiver and wait a few minuter
before calling thenumber again
By observing these precautions
you will help your service.
