The plan ealls for the leasing of
mills and warehouses wherever pos?
sible and the erection of .ithers where
M r I hike will t ike I -
000 of UN stork, it Is said. Farmers,
merchants and manufacturers, espe?
cially in the Piedmont section, have
given hearty support.
In the pust it has aeen diffUu'.t fer
spinners and manufacturers to obtain
\ tinancing <>n their warehouse
receipts owintc to the lack of stand?
ardization of grades. About the only
warehouse organizations which have
existed have bat n those among far
mem' unions and small cotton mills
in tho south.
Cotton warehouses have bet n very
susceptlMe to drrs and whenever In
surunce adjusters questioned the value;1
of cotton stored in them specimens 1
of the best cotton slightly (barred 1
could always be found. OH this evl- 1
donee the Insurance companies usu-}^
ally had to pay the claims.
Among the cotton interests Mr.
I>uke Is rated sis a \cry shrewd deal?
er In that laadaOt and he SI said to
have put a Kreut deal of the money
he has made out of lebgCOO into the
cotton Industry.

suit ho will be able to issue ware- ]

fact that his pr uluct will be given a

RFDfTOLD Dlscrssr.s OUTLOOK,
IfeHfl of MMnkcs of (?o>ernnicnt
System of Uws.
Berkeley, Ca).. Mann 2:\.?The
spectacle ol a member of the cabinet
Dl S Democratic president praising
the policies ami works of the Pro?
gressive party was presented liere to?
day When Secretary of Commerce
wniiam c. Redfleld, in delivering an
address before the University of Cal?
ifornia on tin- larger outlook, said:
"Indeed, tiie program of one ??r our
Political parties take- shrewd ailvan
lage of tin- social consciousness and
I its plea for power on the work
ii - out by law of social reforms."
Secretary Redfleld's theme was the
nation wide awakening of the people
to their karger responsiblllUsa He
declared thai the 'arger outlook,
which is not socialism because it is
not based on the teachings of any in?
dividual philosopher, includes the ear?
ing for the many by the many, rather
thun for the individual by the indi
\ idual.
?The truth is," he said, ' that a new
social bill of rights is being worked
out in our land. Men have not known'
that they were working out a revolu?
tion. If. however, we were now to at
tempt to set back the car of social
progress to the point where it stood!
even ten years ago we would speed?
ily become conscious how far it had
run in that interval."
Tho tendency to investigate de-'
ranged industrial situations, the Sec?
retary declared, is an outgrowth of
the assumption of this broader re?
sponsibility. The people have come
to feel that local ills affect the entire'
nation. The work of some of the in
Austria] leaders in bettering conditions'
of employment also is an outgrowth)
Of the new ideal, he said.
Preventable social and industrial
leases occupied the secretary chiefly. !
The fact that there have died in the
United States fron? preventable caus?
es during the last year six hundred
thousand person* more than fell in
?M American Civil War, concerned
:he secretary deeply. The word "pre?
ventable" attached to these statistics,
he declared, shows that the people'
have been criminally negligent.
"Tho government spends over four
and a half millions annually on the
orestry Service, but little over half
;hat to protect he 1th." said the s<h*
I
rctary. and asked if trees are more
raloablc than men. "Our advocates
>f paaOS attack war. I do not recall
hem as being wildly excited over the
massacres of peace. Yesterday two
thousand people died whose lives we
know how to save. a like number will,
Jie today and again tomorrow. Yet,
it is not what tie politicians call an'
issue."
Tho secretary advocated more na-,
tional health ' ork. "We issue bonds
for the slaugl of war," he said.
We do not issi a them to save the
killings of pane .
?Tin* money .alin* ?,:' these deaths
n peace,' he declared, "Is estimated
it a billion dollars a year, enough to
>ay off the national debt, to build
nany battleships, and support great
irmh g,"
The BSCratary then took up the
ItlCetlOU of loss by tire in the United
taten, lines It*! he said the fire loss
n this country has never been as
ow as $J00.000.000. He quoted an
tuthorlty to tl:e effect thut $1,000 a
minute goes up in smoks ami flame
n this nation. To tight Are there is
nalntalned s larg-r army than that
'or national defense; more is expend"
?d in tire lighting than in building
?attb sbips; more money is e\pen led
tor water with which to light ?res
nan for ammunition, a Panama cn>
nal could be built once a year with
tho money lost through Area Thii

Turning to subject of cartage, Mr. 1
Redfleld declared thai the cost <?t
moving freight on wagons is at the
very bast tw ? nl\-live Unit's as great
:is that of moving it on railroads
Millions upon millions, he declared,

u?e of the system which includes
from seven to forty cartages of a pro?

not to be a local matter. The QU CS*

COOPERATIVE PUREBRED CAT?
TLE,
Department of Agriculture liaises
Stock |Q supply Tick Freed Regions.
Washington, March 24.?One of
the most important effects of the
eradication Of the Texas fever cattle
tick In the South and the consequent
release ot large areas fr??m Quaran?
tine has been the development of a
demand among farmers in the releas?
ed area for purebred cattle to im?
prove their native stock, especially
beef cattle. Many requests have
reached the department of agriculture
for assistance in obtaining such ani?
mals. Farmers in this territory of?
ten do not know where or how to buy
and do not feel confident in their own
judgment as to what to buy. To meet',
the situation, the Bureau of Animal
industry recently suggested a co?
operative a rangement between
breedera' aaoolatloni and the Farm?
ers' Co-operative Demonstration
Work of the Department of Agricul?
ture, whereby sales could be held at
which purchasers could be assured of i
fair dealing.
The plan suggested that the associa-1
tion cooperating would hold sales In |
Southern territory as an association,
that it would guarantee all animals!
Offered and would assume all rospon-1
itblllty for them and all expenses con-'
neeted with the sales. The Depart?
ment in turn would furnish Informa?
tion concerning the salo through
agents and demonstrators of the
Farmers' Cooperative Demonstration i
Work stationed in the South,
This plan was approved by the Sec?
retary of Agriculture, and tho first
association with which it was put into
effect was the American Aberdeen-J
Angus Association, The tirst sale by j
the association under the coopera- j
live plan was held at Montgomery,
Ala., on February ;?, and was a decid?
ed success. The cattle were not im?
mune to Texas fever sind had not been;
Inoculated, but went to farms which j
arc free from tick infection. The as- j ]
sedation le so well satisfied with its(
initial experiment that it is planning
uther sales to be held at other points
under tho same arrangement.
The department believes that this
]
arrangemt nt will not only be of great
value to Southern farmers in Im?
proving their live stock, but that it
presents an added Held of usefulness)
for breeders' associations by broaden-;
ing In a perfectly legltlmtae way the
market for animals owned by its, |
members. It is hoped that arrange?
ments similar to that now In effect <
with the American Aberdeen-Angus 1
Association may be perfected with
uther live sto'ck breeders' associations, j

A Word of Caution.
One should be exceptionally care?
ful just now about taking cold, and
when a cold is contracted get rid of
it as quickly as possible. To accom?
plish this you will find Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy excellent. It is not
only prompt and effectual but is
pleasant and safe to take, and has a
reputation of forty years back of it.
