COTTON EXCHANGE IS A
BUCKET SHOP
In a brief statement in Congress,
Senator W. J. Harris, of Georgia,
charged that the cotton exchanges are
merely bucket shops and are working
great injury to the cotton farmers.
He not only made the charge but
proved it by sworn testimony before
n Hew York judge, testimony of farmer
members of the cotton exchange.
Mr. Horris said:
"For many years the New York
Cotton Exchange has been used prini
plly to gamble in cotton futures ini
tead of a place to buy and sell cotton
in a legitimate way. The farmers
of the South have los. nillions annually
on account of this exchange,
which has been used to depress the
price of cotton and rob the southern
farmers. For my part, as I have often
stated in the Senate, unless we can
confine this exchange to the legitimate
buying and selling actual cotton
and stop all gambling in cotton futures
I favor abolishing the exchange.
Nearly every year they sell cotton
futures amounting to ten times the
number of bales of cotton produced
in the South. Congress should immediately
pass legislation preventing the
robbery of the southern farmers, who
have suffered financially more than
any producers in our country."
If any reader of The Advertiser
is in doubt as to what a bucket shop
is let him read this definition taken
from Websters Dictionary:
Bucket Shop?An office or a place
where facilities are given for making
bets in the form of orders or options
based on current exchange prices of
stocks, grain, petroleum, etc., but
without any actual buying or selling
of the property, stock, grain, etc.

REPUBLICAN
MALADMINISTRATION
In opposing some of the numerous
and unnecessary appropriations of
this Republican Congress, Senator
King, of Utah, scored the G. O. P.
leaders in Congress in this caustic
fashion.He said out in Congress:
"Mr. President, this Congress is
not redeeming the pledges made by
the Republican Party. It is bank mating
the Treasury, increasing expen*
ditures, borrowing money, issuing
short-term bonds for hundreds of millions
of dollars. Economic disaster
has overtaken the people.
"Corn was burned for fuel under
the administration of Harrison, and
now the same thing is happening under
this administration, and there has
never been a financial panic since the
Civil War in this Republic but what
had its inception during a Republican
administration and the panic-breeding
legislation passed by that party.
Through its manipulation of the Kedrflspruii
l?w it ti'ic .lofl-i f ..<) tl?..
currency and brought untold hardship
and financial embarrassment to
business ull over the country."
JUSTICE TO THE FARMERS
A bill in Congress provides for
loans to farmers up to three years
time on warehouse receipts.
In an address to the Senate banking
commitw e Mr. Cray Silver, of the
American Federation said:
"Take the toll gates off the financial
road which the farmer has to
travel," and that agriculture was entitled
to necessary credit facilities in
equal terms with other basic industries.
Mr. Silver contended that growing
crops, live stock and matured crops
? in bonded warehouse were the simplest
collateral for agricultural loans,
and moreover, were "safe" collateral.
HENRY FORD AND
MUSCLE SHOALS
While pas-iing through Atlanta, Mr.
Henry Ford was interviewed by the
Atlanta Journal and he expressed '
himself regarding Muscle Shoals in
these words:
"If Congress would give me the,
right to develop Muscle Shoals, there,
would be no need of a bonus; I'd provide
good, steady jobs for those boys, j
"Within 12 hours after Congress told
me I could take over Muscle Shoals,;
J would have thousands of men on the j
way there to go to work, and preference
would be given former soldiers i
and sailors.
"I know the opposition interests i
are moving heaven and earth to block :
the acceptance of my bids, but I am '
fighting and intend to keep on fighting >
until I land the property.
"And when I get, I'll do the very,
best I can to develop it fully just as
quick as I can."
Mr. Ford said the first thing he
would do would be to develop the J
manufacture of nitrate for the farm- :
era. He said it would be sold to them |
at the cost of production plus X per
cant, adding it was his policy "never
to aak more than a fair profit for what
I produce."

HOME DEMONSTRATION DEP'T
By Mary C. Haynie
Now that spring is upon us, it seems
very timely to stress the importance
of keeping our bodies physically "in
trim." In order to do this, we need a
liberal supply of IRON, CALCIUM,
and PHOSPHORUS. Green vegetables,
fruits, and lYiilk are our best
sources for these three important
minerals.
To quote Dr. McCollum, of JohnHopkins
University, in his "The American
Home Diet:" "Many will recall
how our grandmothers insisted
on the frequent treatments with sulphur
and molasses, the periodical dosing
with bitters, and the efficacy of
sassafras tea in the spring as a means
of 'thinning the blood,' which was
supposed to become impure and thicl^,
during the winter. Among our pio
ncer ancestors tne uien was generally
accepted that there was a need for
spring medicine of some kind. There
can be little doubt that this belief
tested on common experience. We
know that in th early settlement of
many of the states, the people suffer-1
ed great hardships. With little capital
and no food reserve, their winter
diet was generally very simple and
monotonous and. there is good reason
to believe that it was ehemcally
unsatisfactory for the maintenance of
health." There are still some of us
who have this belief that we need
"Spring Tonic," in the form of medicine.
in order to become physically fit
after a long winter. We lose sight of
the fact that often our diets have
been confined to seeds, tubers and
cereal foods.
Dr. McCollum further says: "It has
been found impossible to nourish laboratory
animals satisfactorily on any
diet which is derived entirely from cereals
(wheat, oats, corn rice I and oilier
seeds; tubers such as thv* potato,
turnip or beet, together with meats
which are derived from the muscle
tissue of animals (ham, steak, etc.).
Even when fed a diet, containing
wheat flour, corn meal, peas, beans,
potato, turnip, beets and round steak,
young animals have always failed to
grow to more than two-thirds of their
normal adult size, and they grew
more slowly than they were capable
of growing. The same diet with a liberal
supply of milk added produced
a remarkable contrast in similar
group of animals fed at the same
time. The above described diet of cereals,
peas, beans, tubers, roots and
meat is also remarkably improved by
the addition of such leaves as celery
tops, spinach, cabbage, turnip tops
and other green vegetables. It is obvious
from these results that there is
some remarkable difference between
milk as contrasted with any of the or
uinury seeus, tuners, roots, and lean
meat which are so commonly used as
food for man and animals."
With these convincing evidences in
mind, we cannot stress too much, the
importance of milk, fruits and vegetables,
particularly the leafy vegetables
in the diet as sources of these
important minerals, iron, calcium and
phosphorous. Iron for regulatory purposes,
calcium for its bone building
qualities and phosphorous for its
function in helping build bone, nerve
and cell tissues and to aid in regulating
the neutrality of the blood, For
iron, eat fruits and vegetables, for
calcium, drink milk, eat celery, string
beans, cabbage, cauliflower, carrots,
and spinach; for phosphorous drink
milk, eat eggs (yolk) spinach, onion,
and whole wheat cereals.
Milk is our greatest protective
food and its use must be increased
instead of diminished. The liberal
use of milk has made us what we are.
Xo family has the right to purchase
any meat until each member has at
least a pint of milk daily and this I
regard as below the minimum. Milk is
just as necessary for the maintenance
of health in the adult as in the
young. I have sought in vain for several
years for a diet which was not
only of a character which could support
growth in a young animal, but
which would maintain an adult in a
state of health over a prolonged period.
I am convinced that we should adhere
throut^iout life to such diets as
w 111 nuiurf normal growm in a child
of three to five years, if we would
maintain the highest, state of physical
well-being of which we are capable.
Let me repeat in closing that the dairy
industry has made us what we are,
and that any further reduction in our
composition of milk and its products,
will be reflected in a lowering of our
standards of public health and efficiency.

SOLDIER BONUS BILL
WINS IN HOUSE
Washington, March 23.? The four
billion dollurs soldiers' bonus bill was
passed tonight by the House*by an
overwhelming majority. It now goes
to the Senate, where its fate is regarded
as uncertain.
The vote was 333 to 70 or 64 more
than the two-thirds majority necessary
for passage of the measure under
the parliamentary procedure selected
by Republican leaders for the expressed
purpose of preventing the Democrats
from offering a motion to recommit.

general debate, and on the final rollcall,

CAPTAIN SAM BRADY AND HIS
FAMOUS LEAP
Capt. Sam Brady was a member of
a fighting family which made history "
on the Pennsylvania border during the
iii?ititi) wars nner w?e uevoiuuon. |
Captain Brady's greatest exploit took ,
place in Ohio. He had been captured
by the Indians a^l carried to the San
dusky Towns, headquarters for all the
Ohio tribes, whore the savages prepared
to burn him at the stake.
He was stripped, bound to a post
and slow tires kindled around him, for
the Indians hated him so much that
ihey wished to torturd him as long as
possible. Brady was a f>owerful man
and he strained at his fetters until
they were loosened slightly. Then
with a final effort he snapped the last
bond, leaped across the barrier of
Maine and, seizing a squaw, pitelied
her into the fire.
Before the Indians could recover
from their surprise, the scout escaped
from the village and plunged into the
woods, hotly pursued by hundreds of
savages. Finally he came to the
Cuyahoga river, near the present site
of Kent in Portage county.
At tills place the river flowed between
steep, rocky banks. 22 feet
across from side to side. The scout
was trapped. There was no other place
for miles up und down the river where
lie could ford It. The Indians were
closing In on him and Ids only chance
.'f escape was to try to leap across the
chasm.
Brady could hear the savages yelling
in the woods only a short distance
Hvay as he ran hack toward them to
get a good start. Then turning, he
ved for the brink and putting nli his
fr ling strength Into a tine' spurt, he
* 'Uiig for the opposite cliff. His
in.no was a little short and he struck
lie hunk a few feet below the edge.
'Hie Indians stopped In amazement,
then as the scout scrambled up over
the edge, they opened tire.
Tltey wounded him in ttie leg, delaying
his (light, and in a short time were
on his heels again. He came to a lake
and plunged in. Stooping beneath the
broad pads of a water Illy, he breathed
through a hollow reed whUe the savages
hunted In vain on the shores of
the lake. They found his bloody trail
to the water's edge and, believing that
he had drowned rather than ho cap
tured again, gave up the chase.
Soon afterward Brady reached Fort
Pitt In safety. Be had many more
thrilling adventures before bis death

FROM INN SERVANT TO EMPRESS.
EARLY in the Eighteenth century
the Russians captured Murlenburg,
East Prussia. A squad of drunken
soldiers rilled one of the principal Inns.
In their search for valuables they
opened the oven door of the Inn's htivo
stove, made of porcelain, uud brought
forth two frightened girls. One of
tlieiu wns Catherine, a servant, and the
other Marie, who was staying with
her.
Both girls were bewltchingiy pretty.
The soldiers fell to fighting over their
possession, when the commander of
ilie Irfvadlng forces ^passed the inn.
He heard the row, stopped, and commanded
order. Catherine saw her
chance. She leaned out of the window
und gave the general one of her sweetest
smiles. lie and another officer
carried the two girls away.
Soon afterward ITInce Menshlkov,
favorite of the czur, and one of the
most powerful men In Itusslu, came
10 inspect the army. He saw Catherine
and took her away from the gen
era I.
Catherine soon had Menshlkov uu
der her full control. Then came the
czar himself, I'eter the Great, absolute
master of the empire, lie also
saw Catherine and claimed her. She
fans a vampire who always succeeded.
But Catherine was something more
than merely n beautiful woman. Her
judgment and Instinct soon made her
Peter's most trusted adviser. He used
to meet his ministers at a little house
In Moscow where she was placed, and
weigh decisions w|th Catherine's help.
At last her domination over Peter became
so complete that he marrleo the
former Inn servant and had her
crowned Czarina. Catherine's elevatIon
by no means checked her vumplre
Instincts. She was famous for her
infidelities. William Mods, her court
chamberlain, was tried on a trumped
up charge and hung, really for a much
more serious offense. Peter forced
Catherine to wulk past the place ol
execution, and crowded her so close
to the willows that she brushed her
former lover, hntiKlrig there. But she
never flinched. Afterward Peter had
the man's hend sent to her room In
a bottle of alcohol.
That Incident was typical of the
half-mad Peter, who also was something
of a genius, and of the period
In which Catherine reigned. AJtet

P^T'LIj be back in a few minutes,"
I said Henry Goudie, cashier of
the Bank of Liverpool, to one of
>is associates. "I'm Just going across
he street to get a bite of lunch."
An hour later the officials of the
>ank began to wonder where Goudie
vas, but the fact that his hat still
emalned upon Its accustomed peg InII
oh ted that the cashier wasn't far ~
tway, and that he would soon return.
Sut at the closing hour that afternoon
Goudie was still missing?and
when an auditor went over his books
t was discovered that a hundred and
leventy-flve thousand pounds (some
>850,000) had also disappeared 1
Inquiry at the house where Goudie
ind lodged fulled to bring to light any
race of the missing cashier, who had
eft home that morning as usual, apmrently
without any intention of being
iwuy over night. His clothes were in
lielr uccustomed position, and even
Ids toilet articles were untouched.
In fact. If It hadn't been for the disappearance
of the money from the
lank, the police would have searched
the hospitals, on the theory that
Goudie had met with an accident.
But, as Frunk Freost, superintendent
of Hmtlnnd Yard, nolnted out. it
was hardly likely that a hank official
and $tt."?<)tOOO would vanish at one and
the same tlpie without some connection
between the two events.
"As luck would have It," continued
Ernest, one of the ablest detectives In
England, "Goudle has chosen the simplest
manner In which to make his escape?the
easiest from his point of
view and the most difficult from the
standpoint of the police. It Is comparatively
simple to find a man who
lays his plans In advance. You can
usually trace Ids baggage or his railway
tickets. But Goudle just walked
out to lunch and lost himself somewhere.
lie left only one clue behind
him?Ids hat.
Therefore, working on the assumption
that a hntless man would he
quite conspicuous, nnd that Goudle,
knowing this, would Immediately purchase
another hat. Freest made the
rounds of the shops near the Liverpool
hank. From the clerk In one of
them he obtained the information thnt
a man answering to the description of
the missing cashier had purchased a
cloth cap of n distinctive pattern only
a few moments after noon on the day
that Goudle vanished.
By means of this clue and a detailed
report on Bundle's appearance. Freost
soon had every man connected with
Scotland Yard searching for the ahscomii^g
cashier. But It was several
weeks before he was located and captured
In a lodging house In the north
of England.
However, the arrest of the man
who looted the Bank of Liverpool did
not hy any means close the case.
Even before lie was discovered,
Freost '?ad found out thnt Goudle had
been In the hnhit of playing the races
?patronising a clique of "hand-book
men," who had played upon his cupidity
In such a manner that they, and
not he. had secured the benefits of his
dishonesty. In order to recover the
money, Freost therefore had to round
up the members of this gambling ring
and force them to disgorge.
It developed that the lender of the
organization, sensing a way In which
to make a lot of money, without running
any risk, hnd approached Goudle
with an account of a "fixed race"
which was to he run at Epsom Downs,
and that the cashier, believing that
he could cleun up a fortune In a single
day, had taken twenty-five thousand
pounds from the hank, fnlsifvlng the
accounts to conceal the shortuge. The
man's credulity Is evident from the
fact that he placed the money at odds
of *20 to 1, which meant thnt he stood
to win half n million pounds, or $Z500,000
If his liorse came In first. Of
course, no bookmaker could afford to v
pay a bet of this size?hut Goudle
overlooked thhs fact nnd cheerfully
wagered his "borrowed" capital. The
horse naturally fnlled to win, and, In
an effort to recoim i>in i nuwi>U flin on oh
ler commenced systematically to loot
the bnnk's funds. m
Ono of the odd features of the cane
which Freest discovered, by blind luek,
Ooudle one day placed a hi# bet on a
horse that won. When he went to
collect his bet. with the firm Intention
of squaring his accounts with the
bank, he was casually Informed that
the wager hnd not been placed In
time, and he was advised, to put it on
another "sure tip," which lost. Wi.m
his defalcations reached a point when
It was hopeless to attempt further concealment
from the bank authorities,
( nubile "went out to lunch."
It didn't take Freost long to discover
that. In planning a round-up of
the gambling gang he was tackling
one of the most difficult Jobs of his
career.
One by one Freost picked tip the
various threads of the tangled case.
One by one he followed the various
*eiues, at least one of which led to
the suicide of a member of the liook*
makers' clique. Hut, In addition to
seeing that Oouldle was sent to prison
for ten years. Freost secured evidence
which forced the return of all
luit a small amount of money which
nnu Dfrfii taken from the Rank of
Liverpool niifl placed upon >orfw?s,
which, save In n Mingle ln?tan<*>, had
no chance whatever to win.
