LIBERTY BONDS
Pulaski county citizens
have bought about $14,000,
000 worth of Liberty Bonds
first and last. Of course,
not that many are being held
by them now, but it is safe
to presume that a large part
of this emmense amount is
still held by the original pur
chasers.
Never before was there
such a tremendous reserve
of aatual savings in the hands
of the people, all of which
is giltedged government se
curities, paying a good rate of
interest. And. as for safety
it is as safe as the Government
which issued it, and if the gov
ernment fails, there is nothing
safe in the world.
It is notable, however, that
the proportion of small in
vestors in the Fifth Loan is.
much smaller than in previous
loans, and that three millions
suscribed the first week of
the campaign came from com
As a matter of fact, there
was never a more attractive
security offered than the
Fifth Loan, a tax-free,four
year, 4 3—4 percent security
good at any bank at any time
a? collateral up to 90 percent
of its face, without other
security or question.
No one could ask for more
when the banks are saying
only 4 percent on saving de
posits.
Some of the larger sus
criptions to this loan have
come from wealthy citizens
who invested practcal'lv noth
ing in former loans, because
they were not attractive an
investment.
But whether the smaller
investor has done all he can
or does not understand the
desirability of the loan, does
not appear at this time.

MARKETING LAW
The purpose of the ware
house and Marketing Law is
to provide a system of State
Bonded Warehouses and to
afford a method of co-opera
tive marketing for those en
gaged in the production of
farm, orchard and ranch pro
ducts; to establish a market
ing bureau and provide a sys
tem of grading agricultural
products. Five states have
already enacted laws estab
systems— all are looking to
permanent improvement in
cotton marketing conditions.
What is the remedy for pre
venting the enormous loss the
farmers suffer each year from
what is known as “country
Warehouses. It is said that
the Texas farmers have alrea
dy thrown away ten million
($10, 000, 000) dollars this
year due to the cotton being
exposed to the weather. Tex
as has more than four hund
red warehouses under the
control of the state.
Arkansas is far behind
Texas in the housing of cotton
crop. Thousands of bales of
cotton in Arkansas, after be
ing ginned and baled, are
hauled back to the farmyard
and left exposed to the weath
er while waiting to be sold
Then, it becomes weaterbeat
en and caked sometimes two
or three inchesdeep on each
side of the bale. Frequently
the bale is damaged to the ex
tent of forty or fifty pounds.
No other agricultural product
is neglected as the American
cotton. It is a shame to waste
the South’s greatest staple
crop—Cotton. -Farmers and
business men should get their
heads together and build ware
houses and prevent this en
ormous loss.

BONDED WAREHOUSES
The cotton growing statse.
can never expect to come to \
their own financially and
commercially until they adopt
some system of handling and
marketing their great staple
crop. Five southern states
have already enacted laws
establishing cotton warehous
ing systems. These states are
North Carolina, South Carolina
Georgia, Texas and Arkansas.
The farmers and business
men of Arkansas are becoming
intensely interested in building
bonded warehouses as is '
evidenced by the fact they
have already established
seven.
There are numerous instan
ces in the state every year of
cotton being ginned and baled,
then thrown into ginyards or
perhaps hauled back to the
farm yard and left exposed
to the weather while waiting j
to be sold. It has been con-!
servatively estimated that Ark-1
ansas farmers lose five million
dollars annually on their cot-1
ton crop due to exposure to the !
weather, lack of warehouse fa-1
cilities. How can this enor
mous loss be prevented? By
building bonded warehouses in;
every cotton market in xthe
state. Texas farmers, it is said
will lose $10 per bale on dam
aged cotton this season, $10,
000,000 on a million bales, and
Texas is better equipped with
warehouses than Arkansas.
The State Bureau of Mines
Manufactures and Agriculture
through cooperation with the
Bureau of Markets of the,U. S.
Department of Agriculture has
worked Out a means of secur
ing free blue prints, plans and
i
spefications for all parties
establishing a bonded ware
house in the state. These
plans have been darl'ted under
the supervision of the National
Underwriters Association and
the lowest possible rate o{
insurence is assured.
Farmers and business men
build bonded warehouses
and save millions of dollars.
The bonded ware house will
prevent all exposure to wea
ther and this feature alone
wiH repay in two years all
money 'that is required ta
establish a bonded warehouse
in every cotton community. '
