OMAHA BANKS BREAK RECORD
FOR CLEARINGS EVERY DAY
Thursday's Fl wares Haa Vp Close to
Five SlUlIon-DolIar Mark and
May Go Higher.
Nearly $5,000,000. This is the record for
bank clearings In Omaha. Wednesday the
banks broke all previous records by passing
the H 600, 000 mark for the ' second time.
Thursday the figures were close to the
$6,000,000 notch.
A new record every day seems to be the
order for the first week in March. Three
times now the Omaha figures have ex
ceeded $4,000,000,
"On March 4 we always anticipate big
clearings," said William B. Hughes, secre
tary of the Omaha Oaring House associa
tion. "The figures today are so high t.t
we hardly dare ".ook for another record to
morrow. HowVver, we may ha another
surprise to spring." .
As Mr. Hughes saW Wednesday, when
the 1910 record was oroken the first time,
there Is considerable money In circulation
owing to the transfers of property, move
ment of grain and activity In building
lines. Checks for transfers of property
usually come into the banks on the second,
third and fourth of the month.
One year ago the figures for the day
were $3,142,630.54. Thursday's kmM
t an Increase of $1,830,178.89, or nearly $2,000,-
ooo greater than the correspond'og date In

HITTING THE BUCKET SHOPS
Omaha Grain Exchange to Support
Chicago Campaign.
PLACES BEOABDED AS NUISANCES
C'omraUaloaer of Corporations Give
Ilia Vleiva la ItesaOoee to Request
f President Toft for
format loo.
' e
The crusade of the Chicago Board of
Trade agalnict the bucket shops of the
country, and at this time against the bucket
shops of Nebraska, haa the support of the
Omaha Grain exchange, which maintains
these placea are detrimental to legitimate
Business.
Many forms of bucket shops have been
contrived and operated tinder the title of
exchanges which In reality were without
sny features of real buslnes. but were
known as skin games. Suit Is now pending
against the bucket shops of Nebraska,
nearly all of which are operated In the
southern part of the state, not one having
been opened along the Omaha road to the
north.
President Tnft called upon the commis
sioner of corporations for a report on the
dealings In "futures" and the cmmls-iloner
In his report says:
"Hedging la a very important and com
mon future transaction In certain farm
products. Cotton mills sell their clot
many months In advance. They must
therefore assure themselves of a supply of
raw cotton. This necessitates hedging.
For example, a cotton merchant agrees in
February to furnish next October to a
spinner 1,000 bales of cotton at 10 cents a
pound. The merchant believes he can buy
this cotton of the producer next October
at a price which will enable Mm to make
a profit. But crop conditions may Inter
vene, greatly Increasing the price of actual
cotton. Therefore, when the merchant
makes this agreement he hedges it also by
buying on the cotton exchange future
contracts deliverable next October of 1,000
bales.
"Again, hedging benefits tolh farmer and
spinner by reducing costs. That Is, hedg
ing haa to some degree relieved the mer
chant of a rUk. It therefore enables and
forcea him to reduce his charges. While
the spinner does not often hedge, he buys
of merchants who do. The merchants
hedgo practically all their transactions. In
short, I regard hedging aa necessary and
proper. It Is not speculation. It Is the
avoidance of speculation."
Grain conditions of trade are similar to
cotton and the obnoxious feature of both
la the bucket shop nuisance. When the
commissioner was questioning a witness
as to the results of one of the proposed
bills were made a law he replied:
"Thai bill would destroy in sixty days
the business fabric it has taken fifty years
to build. It is not necessary to blow up a
whole ship to remove a few barnacles."
The commissioner adds: "The desirable
end. of course. It to eliminate the evil and
retain the good. Whether this can be
done and how I do not presume to say. I
feel clear, however, that where an ex
change by Its own regulations, by Its own
action or neglect abandons In whole or In
part the beneficial functions which are the
sole justification for its existence it
places Itself In a very dubious position,

Some Things You Want to Know
Sea Island Cotton.
Will Sea Island cotton save the West
Indies? This question Is being asked daily
throughout the long elretch of Islands ex
tending from the Uritish Virgin group to
British Guiana on the mainland of South
America. Backed by the influence of the
British government, ail the resourcea of
science and the wealth of the English
spinners and dealers, the-planters in the
Islands believe they can answer the ques
tion In the affirmative.
Sea Island cotton was Introduced In the
West Indies aa an experiment In the first
years of the present century, but did not
begin to attract wide attention until 1904.
Then shipments totalling 36.C25 pounds of
high grade cotton from, St. Kltts and
Nevis caused the American raisers to take
notice. From that date the Increase In
West India cotton has been the talk of
the English manufacturers. In 19 8 the crop
for a few Islands was 263.778 pounds, a
phenomenal advance, and In 1906 tho crop
was 126,456 pounds, more than 150,000 pounds
over what It was two years before.
Them, figures made such an Impression
upon the minds of tho American planter
that they are said to have reached a de
cision not to let the West Indies have any
more of their seed. There Is the crux of
the situation, and the English planters are
Waiting hopefully to learn whether they
eon continue on their prevent prosperous
way, or whether In the course' of time
their transplanted seed will become vltated
and they will be at the end of their rope
for lack of fresh stock.
Scientific propogatlon of all obtainable
varieties for producing seed has been under
way tn Barbados for several years, and
the planters of St. Kltts and other placea
are now buying their seed there, paying 14
cents per pound. But, while the Barbados
seed Is giving excellent satisfaction there
la the lingering susplolon that some day
that also will weaken under the strain of
Inbreeding or over development.
The Imperial Department of Agriculture
la doing a splendid work. Its specialty ls
botanical gardens where an Incessant ef
fort is made to acclimatise the native pro
ducts of one section of the empire In an
other. It la constantly growing new things
in strange places, and because of the world
wide extent of Its feeders In colonies In
every corner of the globe. It has excep
tional opportunities for experiments tn
transplanting. The botanical garden at
Dominica, In richness and completeness, it
said to stand second only to the famous
one In Ceylon.
Cotton was eagerly seized upon by the
department and Is being treated along
practical lines. Not only do the govern
ment experts watch with minute care
the crops they are growing In the official
garden, but they go Into the plantations.
When they see a particularly hardy plaht
with desirable individual characteristics,
they mark It, From this time the plant is
watched closely and, If at the time of
picking. It seems better and more hardy
than Ma fellows, it is set apart and its
seed planted over and Oyer; again to dis
cover whether It waa merely a "sport"
or a useful, permanent variation. By
such methodB It U hoped to develop spe
cial varieties for every Island, exactly
suited to the conditions under which they
first appeared. . .
The spread of Sea island cotton was
largely due to work of Mr.. P. Wade of
London, who began In 1904m with a plan
tation In Montserrat . thai ,was. S30,000 tn
debt. Today It la said tope free of all
Incumbrances and to be o paying hand
aomely. Last year one plantation of sixty
acres In St. Kltts cleaned 1 13,000, largely
because of cotton. Estates Khat ten years
ago could have been bought for a song
are now rated like corner lots In a boom
town. The boom eventually will strike Its
normal level, but It the cotton does not de
teriorate, the land will atlll remain enor
mously valuable.
There are few plants so thoroughly de
pendent upon the location of the ground
in relation to the ocean as Sea Island cot
ton, and the differences In quality and
quantity tn areas sharply bounded are as
tonishing. For Instance, St. Vincent, in tho
windward group, four degrees South of St.
Kltts, Is said to produce the finest cot
ton tn the West Indies, a grade that sells
from II to 18 cents more than the St. Kltts'
product. In St. Kltts there Is an area
about three miles square, which produces
as high as 860 pounds of lint per acre.
Thie Is an especially favored spot on the
south side of the island, protected from the
northeast gales. A yield of 250 pounds Is
obtained In other spots on this Island where
tt will grow profitably at all. Nevis, ten
miles from S. Kltts, gets but a paltry
100 pounds per acre, while Montserrat, forty
miles away, gets 260 pounds. Apparently
only continued planting determines who
Is the drawer of a lucky location In the
cotton land lottery. In St. Kltta the area
cf maximum production Is defined almost
as sharply aa If by, a fence.
The boll weevil has (not reached the
Islands where cotton is doing so well, but
the planters are doing a vast amount of
spraying to head off such pests. They
have a horrible example In Antigua, where,
during the last two years, the cotton bud
maKgot Injured the crop to badly that the
enterprlso was nearly abandoned. How
ever, the landlords took heart once more
and now have 300 acres In cotton. This Is
reported to be doing well, because the
weather was hot and dry In the last bud
ding season, "a condition the maggot can
not abide. To further the war on pests,
the imperial Department of Agriculture
undertakes to buy and disinfect any new
seed brought Into an Island, and to watch
It afterward to see whether the disin
fectant was effective.
Tobacco and sugar were formerly the
great staples of the Caribbean, but tobacco
growing died a natural death and sugar
was scarcely paying when cotton loomed
on the horizon. With It came a provi
dential disoovery. This was that cotton
Is planted In May and June and picked In
November the month for planting sugar
cane. Hence, no time need be lost between
seasons. The discovery again made cane
a valuablo asset where cotton was ranted.
It was a case of killing two birds with
one stone, most of the preliminary work
for the cane being incidental to the cotton
cultivation. This double tilling Is con
tinued two years, then the ground Is
planted in pigeon peas, which are later
plowed under as nourishment for the soil.
The other fertilizers are of the chemical
kind and are Imported from the United
States. "
Ginning facilities have been provided In
St. Kltts and other big producing Islands,
and $27 per ton Is paid for seed. The cot
ton seed oil Is shipped to Barbados for re
fining. The St. Kltts bale weighs C22
pounds, and the freight on It to Liverpool
Is about 4.37 per bale.
A socialistic departure made by the Im
perial Department of Agriculture should
be a matter of Interest to students of
economics and advocates of government
ownership. Cotton was Introduced In the
Virgin Islands by tho government experi
ment station. It did well. At that time
the sole Industries in the Islands were fish
ing and raising a few cattle and sheep.
The scientists furnished seed to peasants
living near and persuaded them to try It.
These pioneers soon found that cotton paid
them and the industry became general.
However, the Inhabitants of the Virgin
Islands were exceedingly poor, and all to
gether could not ralso funds for a gin.
The department entered the commercial
field by building a gin and offering to buy
cotton In small lots at the usual rates
An outlet for their products having been
found, the Islanders of courso raised more
cotton. The ginnery Is run on strictly
honest commercial lines and the profits
go to the government. The experiment In
the Virgin Islands has worked so well that
the Income from the ginnery equals all
other revenues of the government put to
gether. The government ha fostered ' the enter
prise in other Islands by advancing money
to the planters. The manner of collecting
these loans was to levy an export tax of 1
cent per pound. But the government Is
now anxious to get out, feeling that the
industry is well enough established to
support Itself. One objection to the ex
port duty was that it was a flat rate,
betng the same for Inferior cotton selling
at 10 cents per pouna as on that soiling at
SS cents.
To take the place of the government as
a sort of wet nurse to -cotton growing, the
British Cotton Growing association has
been incorporated by royal charter. It Is
lending money where assistance Is needed
Among other things. It undertakes to act
as a commlnslon and clearing house for
the crop, provides cheap Insurance, fur
nishes cheap transportation from the Is
lands to Liverpool or Southampton, has
agents who encourage the tenants, and
publishes timely and valuable bulletins In
addition to those Issued by the govern
ment. Among the association's members
In council are about fifty' of England's
biggest men In the cotton business, in
cluding spinners, dyers, printers, weavers,
representatives of labor organizations and
members of the nobility. The association
also has a West African branch.

LAW STRONGER THAN PINK INX
B. T. Swobe, Whom, Horror Robbed,
Meets 11 1 in at, tho Prison with
Probation Officer Bernatein,
ad J. J. Derlaht.
Those persons, egged on by a certain
pink paper, that have been parading a
plan to get W, W. Howard out of the
penitentiary because, they said, he liad In
vented an aeroplane by which he waa to
nrtch prosperity, have sustained a terri
ble jolt. They have at. last found out, as
Tho Bee stated some time ago, that a man
Who has "done time" in other penitentiaries
Is not eligible to narole under the Ne
braska laws. Furthermore, they have dis
covered that Howard's Invention is an air
castle instead of an airship.
J. J. Derlght and Probation Officer Bern
stein have returned from Lincoln, where
they saw Howard In the prison and had a
talk with him.
"It appears that besides doing time In
Illinois he was In the penitentiary at Jack
son, Mich.," said Mr. Bernstein.
"By a coincidence, we met on the train
going down E. T. Swobe, whose house In
Omaha Howard robbed, and we prevailed
on him to accompany us. Howard's first
remark to Mr. Swobe waa a cool one:
" 'We met under slightly different cir
cumstances last time, Mr. Swobe,' said he."
According to Mr. Bernstein, Howard dis
appointed both Mr. Swobe and J. J. De
rlght by not adhering to the 'truth In his
conversation. Mr. Derlght bears this out.
"No, I don't want him paroled to me,
even if he should be paroled," said the
automobile dealer.
Judge Estelle alone Is not entirely shaken.
"Howard might," opines he, "be a good
citlsen yet, even if he haa be eh In the pen
itentiary several times."
But Howard will first have to serve out
his term.
Examination of his famous airship shows
that all this amounts to Is a set of plans
for an aeroplane, which Is not so frlxht

we pride ourselves that our customers' receive the .best gas
