/ A Call for Aid.
A relief committee, headed by e. Dow
den, chairman, has been formed and the
following appeal for outside aid has
been Issued:
ITO the People of the United States:
This place was almost totally obliter-
ated by cyclone on the evening of May
10. The people here are dividing their
all, but have not enough to relieve the
pressing necessity. Neighboring towns
are strenuously supplying us with hos
pital supplies and food. Fully 300 fam
lilies have been ruined by the storm:
1900 people are more or less dependent
on the good will Of the generously in
clined to tide them over the present dis
tress. Money is urgently needed. Prop
erty loss. including crops, stock, homes
and other property will reach 100000,
with portion Of the stricken district
yet to be heard from. Almost continu-
Gus rains since the cyclone have rem
dered many Of the roads almost impassi-
BILE. The stricken people have helped
the less fortunate to the extent of $500
In cash, besides dividing food, proyi-
sions and clothing with those who lost
their all. In view of these circum-
stances, we ask assistance from the
American people,"
All night two dozen men worked in
cessantly, preparing the bodies of
the victims for burial, and Friday
dozens Of funerals were held. Plenty
OF cofi1ns had been sent in, but wagons
and drays had to be used in carting
the remains to the cemeteries. All
day long crude hearses pass through
the wreck Uttered streets.

Practical Invention for Farmers.

q. w. Hollister, one of Howard
couuty's Oldest and best farmers, who
has been actively engaged in farming
for 30 years and knows the needs OF
farmers, has seen the need Of, and
Invented machine which he calls the
combined Corn Shocker,n a device
which combines ease and economy in
IN the work, and also leaves the shock
open at the bottom for thorough ven-
tilatioB, thereby keeping the corn
free from must and in the best of con-
dition for shredding and also prevent.
ing the working of gophers and mice
in the shock.
When set for shocking, the machine
stands II feet high with an arm on
each side projecting 16 inches at right
angles, which holds the bundles in
place SO that one can shock faster and
and better than he can without some
support, and also enables one to shock
alone in wind which would prevent
shocking without this machine. BY
an ingenious device OF Mr.. HOLSTERS,
the shock is easily bound and TIED by
one man, after which the machine is
easily removed by drawing in the pro-
jecting arms by means of lever and
a slight pull of the machine which
drops swinging leg on the front CT
the machine, leaving a space clear
through the shock about l6 inches
wide and the height of the machine,
giving free access to the air to thor
oughly dry the corn and fodder, "a thing
impossible when shocked close in the
old way. The weight of the machine is
slight and permits of its being easily
ard quickly moved about the field,
and can be taken from the shock and
set for another shock in one minute,
We have seen the machine and wit
messed Mr.. HOLSTER use it and it
seems to us to be practical and what
every farmer who cuts corn needs,
and this opinion is shared by large
number Of old and practical farmers
who have seen the working of the
machine.
Mr.. Hollister will take out patents
on the machine ard manufacture it
for sale, and any representations be
may make in regard to the machine
may be implicitly relied upon,.

 NAVY TO THAT END.
Alabamian Says Japanese Occupation of Manchuria Would be Danger Ons--Refers to Race for
 Congress.
Advertiser Bureau,
 1925 G. St.. N. w..

Washington, Aug. g.
 Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson. the Alabama naval hero with an am- bition to come to congress and do things. is in Washington at the New Willard on a brief visit. He looks strong and full of electricity and shot volts Into the path of MT. Bankhead, whom he hopes and expects to succeed as representative of the Sixth Alabama District. Congressman Bankhead was hurrying home from here yesterday.
 T have been over in Virginia lec- turing" said Captain Hobson. My theme Is America, the Peacemaker.' hold that the United States can abso- lutely put a stop to brutalizing con- flicts between nations. The only way this can be done is by the construc- tion of navy of stupendous strength. Of course 1t would cost millions of dollars. but not near so much as the national pension bill. not to speak of the saving of human life, which is worth more than the world's supply of money. If we had possessed a navy such as I favor the war between Rus sit and Japan would never have oc- cured. Our diplomacy was superb, but we had not the battleships to en- force 1t, and hence Russia violated its promise and remained in Manchuria to its own undoing.
 While referring to this conflict I want to say that 1t would be a fear full mistake to allow Japan to occupy and hold Manchuria and that such a program means not only dismember- ment of China but the ultimate ruin of Japan Itself. Japan has no more right to absorb 8 Chinese province than Russia had. and if 1t issnow all lowed to do so the precedent will be set, and England, Germany, France and other powers will proceed to carve and distribute among themselves the various sections of the Chinese em- pire. Japan will be isolated and if 1t makes protest against the arrange ment 1t will be marked for destruc- tion."
 Have you given up the idea of com ing to Congress, Captain?" was asked.
 By no means. l expect to make the race in 1908. ana unless am greatly mistaken, l snail win. My competitor. Colonel Bankhead. Is talk ing time by the forelock. and Is even now. more than g. year Tn advance of the campaign, making a house to house canvass of the voters of the district. shall make the race on the issue of great navy that shall pre- dominate over the navies of the world, to the end that wars shall cease. T have spoken in twenty-two States since January l, and the people have ap- plauded my doctrine to the echo, be- sides to the practical length of vot- ing instructions to their senators and to support this pro- gram. A big navy means peace on earth and commercial supremacy for the United States"

Pekin. Aug. s.-,-wu Ting Fang. form erly Chinese Minister at Washington and now vice-president of the Board or Foreign Affairs. interviewed by the As- sociated Press, said that the existing regulations for the exclusion of Chi satisfactory from the Chinese stand point and hence 1t was desired that they should be modified by the new convention.
 The Chinese, he said. agreed to the exclusion of coolies and this point pre-
 sented no dif1culty. but the existing
 regulations pressed with severity on
 other classes. He instanced the eases
 of merchants, travellers for pleasure.
 students and others who, while nomi- nally admissible to the United States, were forced to undergo examinations
 which. though necessary, were rem
 dered objectionable on account of the
 manner in which the regulations were enforced.
 Mir. wu admits that European immi- grants were not allowed representation by lawyers or others during their ex- aminations, but he rejected this argu- ment because he said the Chinese in other respects were given treatment entirely different from that accorded the Europeans. The Chinese Govern ment, he said, agreed to the exclusion of coolies, but 1t urged as the main points of a new convention that the better classes of Chinese be treated on an equal footing with other aliens. | with the right to retain counsel and the right of appeal, If necessary, and the admission of coolies to Hawaii which he regarded as of the utmost importance Hawaii was greatly in | need of laborers. Mir. Wu said. akd since the Chinese were excluded the | industries of the islands had suffered.
 At all events the Chinese there could not compete wish American labor. The Philippines had long been a natural field for Chinese industry, but the application of the exclusion act to the
 islands had changed this.
 Mir Wu expressed himself as greatly | regretting the Chinese boycott of American goods and steamship and in- | suranee companies, as 1t might | estrange the good will of Americans.
 which he highly prized. Apparently, however. he said. the Chinese classes most concerned decided on the boycott las the only means of ventilating the question. He pointed out that the
 movement against Americans. though ' thoroughly organized by the best and
 most representative Chinese, was alto gether pacific and was not directed against persons or property.
 MT: Wu's attention was called to the
 fact that he was credited with direct ing the boycott and he in-
 dignantly repudiated the suggestion
 He said 1t would be as unreasona ble | to expect that his Government had the ability to compel the Chinese to pur- chase goods as to believe that the
 United States Government was able to
 prevent the Chicago strike.
