BUYERS BELIEVE
COTTON FINALLY
REACHED BOTTOM
SOME REACTION is EXPECTED
OUTLOOK AT PRESENT SEEMS
MORE CHEERFUL.

Americus cotton buyers and ware
housemen are somewhat inclined to b..
a little more optimistic than in quite
a while regarding market conditions.
There is more inquiry today for good
cnttcn than in two weeks past ald
middling cotton is quoted at six cents,
as against 1-2 cents a week ago. Be-
low the middling grade, however, there
is no demand, fact which should
cause farmers to exercise greatest care
in picking and ginning cotton, in order
to secure a good quality for market.
Good middling would probably bring
6 ga cents here today, and the cents
position may soon be reached again.
The early opening of the New York ex-
change is also going to improve the
market conditions materially The hope
that cotton has seen its worst days"
is now very general.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. 20.-A re-
port from Mexico City received here at
noon today announces that General
Villa has created a panic among the
delegates to the Aguas Calientes peace
conference by surrounding the city
where the conference is in session
with $4,000 troops. The soldiers are
within an hours march of Aguas Cal
ientes and can be marched on the city
Immediately.
That General Villa has moved his
troops near Aguas Calientes for the
purpose of influencing the outcome Of
the conference there cannot be doubted
by those familiar with the willy Mex
lean chief. With $4,000 Mexican ban
dts frowning down on them the dele
gates are not very apt to forget Gen.
eral Villa in their deliberations.

LIVERPOOL COTTON

(By Associated Press.)

LIVERPOOL, Oct. 2O.-Although the
quotation on cotton spots remained the
same today as yesterday, 5.05d, the
market showed growing demand for
the fleecy staple. The wise ones here
contemplate a raise in the price within
a few days, brought about by the lack
of cotton available for the English
mills.
Up to the cl-s sing hour today, 4,SOO
bales were sold here. 3,400 of these
were of cotton raised in the United
States. 1t was reported that the i'm
ports for the day amounted to 3,1O9
bales, all from the United States.

ST. M|H|EL AND LILLE
STILL IN POSSESSION
KAISER BILLS FORCES
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Oct. 20-The acute points
in today's fighting in the north of
France and western Belgium are near
st. Mihiel and Lille, which latter
stronghold is still occupied by the Ger
n ans, notwithstanding many stubborn
attacks made by the Allied troops dur
ing the past twenty-four hours. The
fighting there has been especially fierce
and losses on both sides will be tre-
mendous, considering the number OF
men engaged.
On the Belgian coast the Anglo
French forces have begun an offensive
campaign, and large bodies Of troops
have been hurried there to oppose the
threatened advance of the Germans IN
the direction of Calais and the English
Channel towns. Warships may be par
ticipating in the fighting in this area,
but the war department has made 10
announcement of their presence there
up to the noon hour.
The general situation in the western
theatre, summed up at noon by Lon
don military critics, remains practical
ly unchanged, with victory balanced
between contending forces, and artil-
lery duels continuing to infict great
losses on both sides. The position Of
the opposing lines, stragetically speak
irg, is unchanged.
German reinforcements are reported
to be hurrying toward Ostend and
strength is an unknown quantity here.
In the eastern theatre of war utter
silence prevails, and though it is be-
lieved here that fierce fighting con-
tinues in Poland, details are not per-
mitted to pass the eye of the London
censor.

BILLS INTRODUCED
IN CONGRESS TODAY
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 2O.-Two
special rules, one to bring out the
measure to license cotton warehouses,
as endorsed by President Wilson, and
the other to consider the Glass bill,
to provide for an increase in the
amount of circulating notes, were
brought into the house today by the
rules committee.
The committee added to the Glass
bill as originally drawn, an amendment
to authorize the issue either of two
hundred and forty million dollars ia
2 per cent treasury notes, redeemable
in three years, or the same amount in
Panama canal bonds, to bear interest
at four per cent, the proceeds of either
issue to be deposited in banks in the
cotton-producing states of the South,
and through such banks loaned TO
cotton planters.
The measure, which has the en-
dorsement of many democratic leaders
in congress, is expected to provide
great measure of relief to the strain
ed financial interests of the nation,
now being called upon to shoulder the
burden of large cotton crop which
must be carried over at least twelve
months.

OLE ]. AADAL, PIONEER RESI-
DENT OF COUNTY, PASSES
TO HIS REWARD.

Ole J. Aadal, of Churchs Ferry,
died suddenly at Sioux Falls, S. D.,
Oct. Goth, where he went as delegate
to attend the United Lutheran con-
ference. Mr.. Aadal was alone in his
room in a hotel when hs passed iaw
and was not found for about IL hours
after. A postmortem examination
showed that death was due to rup-
tured blood vessel at the pit of the
stomach.
The remains were shipped to the
home at Churchs FRY and the fun
eral was held from the Lutheran
church in DeGroat township, October
9th, and the remains were followed to
their last resting place by a large
concourse of sorrowing relatives and
friends.
Mr.. Aadal settled in DeGroat town
ship in 1856, and has lived there with
his wife since that time. They reared
a large family, seven girls and one
son besides a sorrowing widow sur
vive him. The following are the

Mr.. Aadal had recently returned
from visit to all of his children and
was in the best Of health when he
left to attend the conference in Sioux

LOAD Of CORN
HAULED TO CANOO

Cando, N. D., Oct. 29-It looked like
Illinois and Iowa when J. Strong
hauled his load of corn into town last
Monday afternoon. It was the first
load that has ever been brought into
town, and was soon the center of
curious and interested crowd. MI:
Strong told us that he thought this
wagon load of real North Dakota
grown corn was the best lesson he
could produce, and that it would be
more good than several talks and pa
pers on the subject.
This is his fourth season for corn
growing on his farm in the Zion coun-
try, and he informed us that he fgur-
ed it to be his best paying crop. even
better than wheat. Mr.. Strong had fif-
teen acres into corn this season and
conservative estimate Of the yield
will be 600 bushels, or 40 bushels to
the acre. He began four years ago
with Northwestern Dent and has de-
veloped a hardy type of his own. His
seed is selected early, before the crop
has been cut and husked.
Inquiry as to what he intended do
ing with this fine corn elected the re-
ply that he would feed it to his 80
head of hogs, to fatten them up into
shape for the market.
We hope and believe that the time
is not far distant when it will not be
an isolated object of curiosity to sec
a farmer driving into town with a
load of corn, raised on his own land,
There is no reason why many others
cannot and should not do what Mr.
Strong has done. There was ccnsid-
cradle corn raised in this territory this
year, with good results and many 9th
er farmers are being convinced that
it is one of the best paying crops that
can be put on the land.-Cando Herald

-FOUR FACTS TO
Remember ON
THE DEF F|C|T TAX

Four facts to remember about the
special deficit tax of $100, 5000 the
Democratic congress is about to levy
on us:
/. The falling off in revenues is not
due to the reason given by the demo-
Gratis for levying the tax-the war in
Europe-but to the failure Of the I'm
derwood tariff law to produce income.
2. The extravaganza Of the Demo
cratic congress has plunged the coun-
try into an expense that cannot be
paid unless special measures are TAX
en-.
3. President Wilson has never sug-
gested to congress the necessity Of
economy in the expenditure Of the
peoples money.
4. There has been no systematic
attempt on the part Of either congress
or the administration to observe an
economy which would have made the
deficit tax unnecessary.
