fund INCREASING
New Orleans Contributions For The
Good Cause Show Increase,
Says Mr. Gueydan.

New Orleans, Nov. 9.-Subscriptions
to the second years advertising fund
Of the Rice Association of America
show a healthy increase for the
month of october, the total subscrip-
ton to Nov. being 12,S3796, against
$11,255.46 on Oct. /.
According to Henri L. Gueydan,
first vice-president and manager of
the association, the New Orleans rice
interests are coming forward nicely
with subscriptions, the amount from
the city dealers for November being
s412.
Some time ago adverse comment
was INDUCED in by the officers of the
association which has headquarters
at Crowley, La, relative to the slow
ness with which New Orleans rice
men responded to the call for funds
for advertising purposes. Mr.. Guey-
dan states that several of the city
mills have not as yet added to this
fund but that the improved condition
Is a source of much qualification to
the association.

WAS one GREAT SLUMP
SAY EASTERN PRESS
TN Associated Press.)

New York, Nov. 9.-Eastern news
papers today say that the later returns
emphasize the Democratic landslide,
which now seems to be a remarkable
slump of the Republican vote.
The two great leaders of the Re-
publican party, Taft and Roosevelt
alike, met defeat in their own states.
AS an additional blow, both of these
states return Democratic maiorities In
the legislatures and will elect sena-
tors to succeed Dick in Ohio and De-
pew in New York.
President Taft finds himself today
face to face with the one danger he
has dreaded, hostile house of repre-
sentatives to nullify what remains of
his legislative program. A striking
feature of the voting throughout the
country is the reputation of Republi-
can leaders in their own homes.

NOT COOK NOR PEARY
REACHED THE POLE

New York, Nov. "a secret report
brought to the Danish explorer, Kund
Rasmussen, concerning the Cook and
Peary, has aroused interest. A cable
from Copenhagen, says:
Neither Cook nor Peary has a
shadow of truth in his claims.
mo living explorer nor Esquimau

Pole"
Rasmussen reached this conclusion
after closely questioning the Two Es-
quimaux, Ahwelah and Eturishuk,
upon whose testimony Doctor Cook
relied for corroboration of his claim
that he reached the North Pole.

PHILADELPHIA IS
THREATENED With
TRACTION STRIKE
Interpretation Placed Upon Term
"LoyaI Men" BY Arbitrators May
Cause Another WaIk-Out.

Philadelphia, Nov. 9.-Philadelphia
is threatened with another street car
strike. The two meetings of motor
men and conductors of the Philadel-
phia Rapid Transit Company, the Sec
ond Of which broke out early yester-
day morning, voted to go on strike
at certain hour to be named by their
executive committee unless the arbi-
traitors agree on one of the points
still at issue between the carmen and
the company. The men, it is de-
clared, wanted to strike Immediately,
but such action was postponed at the
leaders solicitation.
The arbitrators are Raymond Rob-
bins, of Chicago, representing the
men, and John G. vogler, represent
ing the company. They are author
led to call In a third man If they can
not agree.
The point at which the two arbitra.
tors are deadlocked Is the interpreta-
ton to be placed on the term loyal
men," When the last strike was set
tied the company reserved the right
to give the preference in runs to men
who had remained loyal to the com
pany. The union claims this meant
men who were with the company
prior to the strike, and who remained
in its employ during the strike. The
contention now is that the company
insists on recognizing as loyal men,
employees who were taken In during
the strike. This the men assert
meant that strike-breakers are given
the preference in the assignment of
runs over men who have been In the
company's services for years.

BUSINESS men help
To DEFRAY EXPENSES
Special Agent OF The Agricultural
Department Pays Visit to Hatties-
burg to Work up Greater Interest in
Agricultural Matters.

G. H. Afford, special agent of the
federal agricultural department, in
charge Of the farmers cooperative
demonstration work in Mississippi,
was in Hattiesburg yesterday and ap-
peared before the board of supervisors
for the purpose of securing their aid
in the demonstration work which was
begun in Forrest county last summer
1t will be recalled that last summer
petition was presented to the board
of supervisors asking for the creation
Of a county department Of agricuf-
ture and the appointment of an aeri-
cultural commissioner for Forrest
county. The department Of agricul-
ture was created, hut the board did
not appoint a commissioner for the
reason that the season was too far
advanced, and the federal agricultural
department had given notice of its in
tention to appoint a special agent in
this county.
Mr.. B. L. Moss, who was then spe-
cial agent for Mississippi, appeared
before the board and proposed that
the county and government cooper
ate in the work by employing a man
Jointly and each bearing an equal
share of the expense The board ap-
peared to be favorably impressed with
the idea, but failed to make an ap-
preparation for the purpose.
Mr. ]. p. Hearst was appointed by
the government as special county
agent, but the salary paid was not
sufficient to justify him in giving all
his time to the work. However,
twenty-five demonstration farms were
established in the county, and the re-
suit of the work was so gratifying
that it was determined to make an
effort to raise funds or secure an ap-
preparation from the county which
would be sufficient to warrant Mr..
Hearst in giving all his time to the
WORK. >
Mr.. Afford stated yesterday after
noon that while the board of SUPER
visors did not enter into the project
as heartily as was hoped for, he had
reason to believe that an appropria-
tion would be made for the purpose
named.
A number of prominent business
men who were seen by Mr.. Afford
expressed willingness to contribute
literally towards paying Mr.. Hearst's
salary, and there appears to be no
doubt that the necessary funds will
be procured.
Mr.. Hearst expects to put in some
hard work during the fall and winter
months and hopes to get very bene-
ficial results in the way of increased
acreage and diversification of crops.
