EXPERT PRESENTS
WAREHOUSE FACTS.
The bonded warehouse is an
economic evolution said Judge
T. W. McBride state director of
warehouses bankers and busi-
ness men at the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday afternoon.
Referring to the history and
changes in the banking business
he declared that it just as much
an economic necessity to have
bonded warehouses to protect
commodities as to have banks to
keep money safe.
Giving the results of an ex-
periment with several bales of
cotton kept for seven months
under different conditions Judge
McBride said : "The bale in the
Warehouse lost one pound; the
one on poles in the open but
covered with n tarpaulin 20
pounds ; one on poles uncovered
43 pounds; one resting on edge
on ground 100 pounds (loss in
weight and damage removed) ;
one resting on end on ground
200 pounds and one resting on
side on ground 300 pounds."
Losses Are Enormous.
The loss from the best pro-''
tected bale outside of a ware-
house he pointed out would
have paid all the charges for
keeping it in a warehouse. He
stated further that the damage
sustained upon the 1919 crop in
Texas up until March 1 1920
was sufilcient to build warehous-
es to take care of the whole crop
of any year in the state.
Americans are money makers
he said but at the same time
they are njoney wasters. "It
beconfes our sacred duty to pro-
tect the wealth earned by the
sweat of our wives and chil-
dren" he said. He next spoke
of the proper legal form of re-
ceipt and the relation of the
state department to the ware-
house. The state does not pro-
mote but sanctions and super-
vises the warehouses after they
are put in operation along the
same lines as state examination
and regulation of banking.
Two years ago he said there
were less than 100 warehouses
in Texas in operation of the
type coming under state super-
vision. Now there are over 300
he stated with some 240000
bales of cotton passing through
them in the course of twelve
months. The average length of
storage in three months.
Saved Some Banks
Judge McBride expressed his
conviction that the bonded
warehouses had enabled Texas
banks in some Instances to steer
clear of the rocks of failure
through the rediscounts by fed-
eral reserve banks. Bankers
often have mortgages on so
many bales of cotton but do not
know what the grade weight or
condition of it is.
If the cotton is in a bonded
warehouse the bankor knows
just whore he stands and can
have his paper rediscounted by
the federal banks. Ho express-
ed the opinion that the bankers
would demand that the cotton
be stored in bonded warehouses
when they came properly to ap-
preciate the situation. Some
are already making the demanll.
Doubly Protects Farmer"
The farmer not only has pro-
tection of his cotton from dam-
age but also in grade he point-
ed out. The bonded warehouse
must grade the cotton and guar-
antee the grade. He urged that
state licensed classers be used as
their grade is prima facie evi-
dence in any court in Texas of
the grade they place on cotton.
There is no better business
as an investment than the ware-
house business declared the
speaker. He cited a few instan-
ces where warehouses had made
bigger profits in proportion to
the capital than banks in the
same localities. Temple Tele-
gram. D. D. Walton who for the past
year has been living in New
York in the employ of a cotton
firm is at homb for a few weeks
visit to his mother and other re-
atives. Doan expresses himself

polis. FOR SALE 115 acres of
