The manner in which the army gathers

An excellent example of the province
of the military attache. was to- be had in
the Russo-Japanese war. When the Rus
sian army went into the east a French
attache went with it. This attache,- rep
resenting friendly nation. was given in
finite detail as to the Russian army.
Probably he was given more than he
should have had. He transmitted this in
forma ton to his own government by CT
pher. The French government possibly
erred in allowing too much of this in
formation to get into the hands Of the
newspaper men. The Japanese attache at
Paris Immediately cabled it to hts home
government around the world. Thence it
went to the japanese army as it faced
the Russians. 1t enabled that army to
whip it's foes. Military attaches sent the
information around the world that could
not get across the ten-mile gap that sep
arated the armies.

ONE MILLION
RED CROSS SEALS
Iowa Department on Tuburcuiosls WMI
Conduct Campaign Again
This Season.

DIES MONIES. Oct. 1.-THE state
department on tuberculosis will con.
duct the campaign for the sale OF
Red Cross Seals this year. An order
for a million seals has been placed
with the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu.
erculosis and will be used as meth
Cd Of extending the educational work
on tuberculosis. A large number OF
cities and towns handled the seals
last year with most gratifying results
and 1t is expected that this year the
sales Of these stamps will be conduct
ed in many more cities and towns
throughout the state.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
furnishes the seals, requiring but 12a
per cent Of the money realized in their
sale and permitting the return of all
unsold seals. This allows S71a per
cent to remain in the community
where the stamps are sold
This department will not realize any
er hand will expend quite a sum in
stimulating their sale. The stamps
sell at 1c each and are placed on the
reverse side of letters and Christmas
packages. They are intended for the
purpose Of raising money to be used
locally in the suppression or relief of
tuberculosis.
Women's clubs, visiting nurses as
sociations, charity organization So
cieties and other institutions interest
ed in the combat against tuberculosis,
desiring to use this method of raising
money to help stamp out tuberculosis
and incidentally to bring relief per-
haps to some sufferer with the
scourge, should communicate at once

PICKING COTTON
BY MOONLIGHT
Crop Is Thought to be the Largest II
the United States This
Year.

HOUSTON, Texas, Oct 14.-One of
the largest, if not the largest, cotton
crops in the history of the product is
being gathered this year in the
southern section of the United States.
Only the final figures will prove the
contention of the many experts that
the crop will run from 100000 to
|16,o0o,0o0 bales The more conserva.
tive contend the output will be below
the former figure, yet the belief is
general that the output is one of the
largest. il not the largest, in the
history of the crop.
So great is the crop that picking is
being carried on by moonlight. The
bright southern moon in the fall OF
the year turns the night into day and
picking is greatly facilitated because
of the absence of the heat of the day.
Pickers are paid by piece work and
all the negroes physically able, go into
the fields in early morning and re-
main at work until late into the night,
Or until the moon is obscured.
This tremendous picking is crowd
ing the ginneries which are working
night and day, yet despite this much
of the cotton can not be handled the
holdover being stored in the seed.
Many estimates are made as to the
Texas crop, the total averaging
around 100000. 1t is believed it will
take $225,oOo.ooo to finance the Texas
crop.

BUSINESS BRISK
AMONG INCONSISTENCIES
Never So Much Activity as at Present
in the Mountains Of
Virginia.

WASHINGTON, Oct Moonshin-
ers were never so active in the noun
tains of Virginia as now, according to
the statements of officers of the inter-
nal revenue service of the treasury de-
partment.
Agents of the collector in Virginia
are quoted as saying that there are
more Illicit distilleries in the noun
tains Of that state today than ever
before. The same opinion is express.
ed by the officials in Washington.
They do not, however, confine them
selves to the statement that this busi-
ness Is thriving only in the mountains.
They say that as a matter of fact it
is being actively carried on in all
parts Of the country and that only the
most unremitting vigilance on the part
of the government agents keeps it
from assuming huge proportions.
Inc temptation to distill liquor that
will not be burdened with the internal
revenue tax is great and the time will
never come, the revenue officers say,
when 1t will be possible to convince a
considerable share of the population
that there is anything wrong in evad-
ing the revenue laws. The situation
is comparable, they say, to that in the
customs service, where officers at
New York and Boston find people 9th
erwise eminently respectable perpetra-
ting wholesale frauds upon the gov
eminent by failing to declare dutiable
goods bought in Europe.
