Soon after ahe arrived with the president from their honeymoon at Hot Springs ahe waa busy with arrangements for the brilliant social season that opens Friday night with the Pan-American reception in the Blue room. The state department's list dividing foreign diplomats between the two diplomatic dinners, that will be given this year because of the war was sent to the White House during the day. It will be gone over carefully by the president and Mrs. Wilson before it is made public or Invitations issued. The task of determining to which of the dinners the representatives here of neutral governments should be In? vited, which for a time presented a difficult problem, was solved by designating them alternately from the official diplomatic list. The neutrals under this plan will be divided cqua.ly between the dinners at which repre? sentatives of the Teutonic and those of the entente powers will be present. One of the diplomatic dinners will be held January 11 and the other Jan? uary 21. BANK HffATKMENT CALLED. National Bunks Required to Report Condition on l>eeember 31st.

Office ef Markets and Rural Organiza? tion Reports on Results of Year's Work. The advantages of cooperation in the marketing of farm products are emphasized in the annual report of the Ofllco of Markets and Rural Or? ganization of the department, which has Just boen published. "The conclu? sion seems warranted,' says the re? port, "that in communities where co? operation is practically applied to the farmer's business, the results obtain? ed are far more satisfactory than thoso secured by individual methods." It Is estimated that farmers' cooper? ative marketing and purchasing or? ganizations will transact this year a total business amounting to more than $1,400,000,000. Agricultural coopera? tion In the United States Is, therefore, far more prevalent than is generally believed, but it is not yet upon a suffi? ciently strong business basis. For this reason the Office of Markets has! studied the various methods employ? ed by these associations and has work? ed to devise means by which these methods can be perfected. The studies also have Included the prevailing methods of marketing perishable pro? ducta?cotton, grain, cotton seed, live stock, and animal products. Studies have also been made of city markets In order to secure In this way information which may open up out? lets for farm products. In this con? nection the report calls attention to t he experimental work in distributing timely marketing information con? cerning perishable products. An ef? fort has been made to keep producers informed of arrivals and conditions in the large markets and, on the other hand, to keep dealers informed of shipments from the important pro? ducing sections. Strawberries, peaches, tomatoes, and cantaloupes wert the crops covered in this way during the past season. There is evidence, says ! the report, that as a result of this ser? vice, distribution has been Improved, glutted markets have been prevented to some extent, total shipments from several districts have been greater than they would have been otherwise, and that large bodies of growers have received accurate and disinterested in? formation concerning prevailing con? ditions In competing producing areas and In distant markets. Several im? portant newspapers have cooperated In this work by publishing these re? port*, end there is reason to believe that others also will publish thorn v/hen LUo Service IS extended to Coyer rroducts that arc of particular interest, to their reader*;. The work of encouraging the prop- , er preparation of products for market has been continued. The ultimate aim of this campaign, of education Is the national standardisation of market grades and also packages or contain? ers. Investigation Into the problems of transportation and storage has been continued with a view to determining the causes of the great loss of food? stuffs between the producer and tho consumer. Experimental shipments by parcel post and express were made during the year with many kinds of fruits and berries, lettuce, milk, but? ter, eggs, syrup, and vegetables. In nearly every case it was found that the success of the shipment depended upon the Judgment uset??**? selecting I the quality of the product and the typo of container. j In addition to Its work of investiga- I tlon and study of marketing condi? tions in general the Office of Markets and Rural Organization has charge of the administration of the cotton-fu? tures act. In accordance with the terms of this act 13 cities have been designated as bona fide spot markets for cotton. The provision for the de? termination of disputes between per? sons making and receiving tenders of cotton under section 5 of the act be? came operative on February 18. Be? tween that time and the oxpiration of the fiscal year, June 30, 1915, dis? pute? involving a total of 44,775 bales were handled by the office. Twenty-one Bpot exchanges have adopted the official cotton standards, although their use is optional except with the future exchanges at New York and New Orleans. Representa? tives of the department have also visited Bremen, Liverpool, and Havre to turther the universal adoption of these standards. Other work done by the Office of Markets and Rural Organization in connection with cotton during the past year has included a study of cotton handling and market, of the problem of cotton warehouses, and an inves? tigation of methods of marketing the cottonseed crop. In all, 124 uses for cottonseed products and by-products are now recognized. Exclusive of culinary purposes, the report says, the by-products of cottonseed oil are used extensively for soap and wash? ing powders, and to some extent in such commodities as putty, candles, insulating material, paint, composi? tion roofing, linoleum, artificial leath? er, and stearic and oleic acids. Lint? ers and cottonseed hull fiber are being used to a great extent in the prepara? tion of cellulose. This is the basis of the different kinds of smokeless powder, cordite, and other high explo? sives. Aother important division of the work of the office for the past year is its rural organization investigations, in particular Its study of the problems of rural credit and insurance. KAISER TO UNDERGO OPERA? TION. Thought to Be Victim of Cancer of the Throat. Paris, Jan. 4.?The Matin affirms, notwithstanding denials, that the Ger? man emperor is suffering from cancer I of the throat and is no longer able to speak. "In February, 1911," according to the Matin,* "the doctors were Consider? ing whether it was necessary to re? move the entire larynx in order to stay: the progress of the disease. They raised the question as to whether the emperor would be able to speak if such an operation were performed. The leading specialists* of every capi? tal In Europe were consulted. It was learned that an eminent surgeon of Paris had, with an artificial larynx and! a breathing tube opening Into thai trachea, restored the power of spolch to cancerous patients who had | undergone total ablation the af fo< wa organs.*' Ttas doctor, who*e name The Matin withholds for reasons of pl?fessidndl etiquette, was asked to go to Berlin by the German ambassador. He was offered 100,000 francs and all his ex? penses and was requested to bring with him a patient who had been fitted with the apparatus, so that the em? peror himself might see if he was able tq, j|peak. "Meanwhile, as a result of a minor operation with a bistoury and a few weeks absolute rest, the emperor's condition Improved as Is often the case In this disease the progress of which Is implacable, but slow. It is another operation of this kind which has Just beon performed. But It, Is only pallia? tive. The German emperor must either make up his mind to complete removal of the larynx or be stifled by the growth. 'This explains why the emperor wept neither to Warsaw, Constanti? nople or Brussels." Licenses to marry were Issued to J. D. Jennings and Miss Myrtle Boatfleld, Sumter, and T. J. White, Branchville, and Miss Sue V. Folk, Dalzell, yester? day. A license was also granted John Colclough, Sumter and Lethea Conyers, Wedgefleld. To insure a return of prosperity, this year must be one of the closest economy.
