Norman Transcript.
From 500 to 1000 bales of cotton
daily are now being received and in-
voiced by flit Oklahoma Cotton Grow-
ers association, according to an-
nouncement made this morning by
secretary C. L Stealey. Over 3,000
bales have bt en received and the ad-
vance payment of 10 cents per pound
made to the growers by the associa-
tion since early last week when ina-
bility of some Oklahoma City banks
to continue to take up association
drafts threatened to cause the as-
sociation embarrassment, it is said.
"The new financing plan which has
been submitted to the banks in Uie
state, and in which the banks are
actively to-operating is working out.
most successfully," said .secretary
Stealey of the association this morn-
ing. "Under this plan the banks over
the state are earning their pro rata
of the advances on cotton origniating
in their territory. The burden is thus
distributed more equitably. The banks
are fully protected and is assured of
a quick return not only of the money
advanced but approximately 100 per
cent additional as a deposit pending
final distribution to the members
the advance being at this time 10
cents per "pound while the price of
cotton is above 20 cents per pound.
The association is selling along with
th:~ market from day to day insuring
quick action from the bank. In |ise
the local bank does not feel like car-
rying the loan until the association
sills the cotton, the bank may be re-
imbursed out of the War Finance
Corporation loan availabe for that
purpose.
"As an example of the quick action
on these loans, and also of the as-
sociation's speedy recovery from the
stringency of last week, one of the
banks at Lexington had drafts On
70 bales of cotton returned unpaid
early last week. These drafts were
sent back to the association last
Thursday. On Tuesday of this week
a check was sent the Lexington bank
covering not only the advance
amounting to about $;!,500, but for
approximately $7,000 for deposit as
the association had in the meantime
sold the cotton.

BUSINESS GOOD HERE
The merchants are enjoying a bet-
ter business in the last two weeks
than for some time during the past
few months. Their concentrated ef-
forts to induce people to spend their
money at home, is hearing good fruit
and many a dollar has thus been sav-
ed to the community, which would
otherwise have been lost to home
trade. When you spend your money at
home, each and every one has a
chance to change dollars, but, when
once it is removed from circulation,
here, then you can bid it a fond fare-
well

come out right if you concentrate the
bitterness of your soul in a heart-felt
expression of "aw, what's the use,''
and then forget it.
