BLIND MAN HEARS HUMORIST nriM w o W??L,LrC> HAI ovrr? CT Says He Could Easily Imagine There Were Ten Actors on the Stage Instead of One-Interpreter In Rendition of Famous Play to Be Here Chautauqua Week Wells Watson Ginn In His Interpretation of "The Man From Home" ABLIND man sitting In n Chautauqua audience at Islipemlng, Mich., hearing Wells Watson Ohm's rendition of "The Man From Home," declared Jhnt, had he not been Informed otherwise, he would surely have > thought that the piny was being (>n>dured by a group of ten actors Instead of by one man. There are Juat ten actors In the plsy. Each character with Its distinctive quality of voice was real to him. It is doubtful, however, if the play was any more real to this blind man than to those who could see, for he missed the expression of face and the gestures and other features of the Impersonation which still further distin guish each character which Mr. Ginn portrays. Best of all. Booth Tarkington, one of the authors of "Th* Man From Home," has beard Mr. Ginn give the interpretation of bis play and expresses bis delight in a letter to Mr. Glon. On more than 100, Redpath, Chautauqua*! Inst season, the tour beginning in Mississippi and extending on up into Ilimola, Mr. Ginn gdve his rendition of "The Mun From Ilome," and lt was conceded to be a leading feature of the program. ... On June. 8 a communication to tbe Redpath bureau from Winona, Miss., signed by five people, read m part as follows: "Our people were delighted with Mr. Wells Watson Ginn. 'The Man From llome' was one of the most attractive entertainments of our Chautauqua, and we wish it could be repeated befe. Competent Judges pronounced it one of tbe best readings that they bad ever heard." Mr. Gtnn will render tbe same play on onr forthcoming lledpntb Chautauqua program. _ I! i BETSY HAMILTON" AT ANDERSON COLLEGE DELIGHTFUL SOUTHERN WRITER AND IMPERSON ATOR HERE FRIDAY REAL TREAT Is in Store For Those Who At tend-She is Native of Ala bama.

The Need For Cc WASHINGTON, Artrll 28.-The cot ton warehouses already in existence are ample tn aggregate storage ca pacity, according'to a recent survey made by the United States depart ment of agriculture, to store aa much of the crop as t?tere is any need for but they are poorly distributed. Tho best are not available to the farmer and the charges of the others arc higher than he is disposed t? pay. These facta complicate the financing of the' crop, and are largely responsl ble for keeping BO many cotton farm era under the blight of tho credit system. A - better system of ware houses would do much to help the situation. Cotton, according j to the go-?.rn-, ment specialists, is considered the ; very best collat?ral, and bankers and j business mien tn general are willing. to lend money on it at lower Interest' than on real estate. An essential j condition ls, however, that. the cot- { ton bo properly stored and insured. ; At the present, however, this Ia very j rarely done. The farmers are accus*} tomed to dispose of their crop at the earliest possible moment and in the nearest town." Much ot the crop,' If, not all of it, is frequently pledged In advance, in order to obtain sup plies for the former. Even when the price, drops as low aa lt did tn the fall of 1914. the need for immediate cash Induces the farmer to depress the market still further by throwing all of his ?cotton upon lt. If this is not done much ot the crop ls loft in sufficiently protected and suffers , what is known to the trade: as "coun try damage." Ou the other hand, it is pointed out in a new publication of the United States department of agriculture. Bulletin 216. "Cotton Warehouses." that an adequate warehouse systerv would -enable the farmers to state their 'cotton at pricea lower than thone charged for the same servico now, because the insurance ratee on cotton ,storcd in a standard ware house would be much lower than at the pr?sent time. Since cotton is re garded aa such a safe collateral. Ute mcrchaut would be wilt lug to extend time to the .fannel-'If warehouse .re* cnlpts were deposited with, him as collateral. The local bank -would take these receipts from the merchant ns further.accommodtUon, an3 the larg er bank, from which the ional bank baa in all probability obtained the loan, would also extend time. In this way the *rop contd be marketed grantally ?nd prices stabilized in consequence. . Moreover, suoh a . system would lead to free She farmers, especially those ot we tenant class, from the tton Warehouses t _; ? . . endless chain of debt It would not. of course, end at once br completely the credit system by which tho . sup ply merchant sometimes obtains in terest or from 25 to 35 cents on a dol lars worth' of supplies. If, however, such cotton as was not absolutely necessary to settle accounts was stor ed and economy in living practiced, many of the more determined grow ers should in the course of two or three years be able to placo them solves on a cash basis. At the present time the best ware houses have, been put up by factories abd mills for their own uses, and are of no service to the farmer. .The owners of small warehouses in which tlic farmer can store bis cotton, are usually losing monoy di the Invest ment largely because, of poor con struction and' correspondingly .high rates of Insurance. The government investigators present a number of in teresting statistics to show that in many cases .it is actually more ex pensive to put up and operate an In ferior warehouse than one of stand ard design. Por example, In Georgia and North Carolina tho Insurance rate lt reduced about 80 per cent, by thc use of sprinklers. Unquestionably, naya the report, a great saving could be affected by tho erection and prop er equipment of modern warehouses. Assuming thc annual crop to be 16. 000,000 bales, a sufficient number of Buchw a rehouses could be construct ed and - equipped with automatic sprinklers for $64,000.000 or less. If hit of tilts crop were to bo stored for six months tim' .saving .in ; insurance nlonc would he approximately $7,000. 000. As a matter of fact many of the existing warehouses could bo remod eled satisfactorily. ? The bulletin does not attempt to rive anv details of an Ideal ware bouse system, and there .are many difficulties in bte way of the. estab lishment of such. It does, however, assert that improvement in this re spect will do much to m*ke co'ron growing a .more stable industry. Taking Care of the Children.
