PICKING COTTON,
PLANTING GRAIN,
ABOUT AMERICUS
FARMERS ARE FINISHING UP
WITH PRESENT CROP AND
SOWING GRAIN.

Farmers coming to Americas today
from Sumter and neighboring counties
report rapid progress in the gathering
of the cotton crop, and also I'M plant
ing wheat and oats for the next season
In Sumter county three-fourths or
the cotton crop has been picked and
ginned, and with continued open
weather practically every bale will be
out of the fields within another month,
notwithstanding the fact that this is
bumper crop and nearly equals the
55,OOO-bale crop of 1911, the largest
on record.
With cotton out of the way, farm
ers here are planting and will con-
tinue to plant for next year the great
est acreage of wheat and oats ever
known here.
Never before we're the farmers of
this county going in for grain, espe-
cially corn, oats and wheat, as well as
hogs and cattle, as now. 1t is prob
able that Sumter county will this fall
put in the biggest wheat and oats
crop ever known in the county's his
tory, while the hogs and cattle that
are now on hand and to be grown
within the next year will of them
selves add considerable wealth to the
county The wartime cotton prices
and the consequent business depres-
sion is having a good effect IN making
the farmers of the county realize the
necessity of food crops and there is
going to be wonderful diversified farm
ing in this county within the next year.
Farmers here do not fail to realize
the weight of the big surplus to be car
| ried over, which will make only a very
small crop needed. So far as can now
be judged, crop Of 100000 bales
next year would be as disastrous as a
crop of 100000 bales this year. Re-
sulting conditions will be still more
| deplorable from the fact that the coun-
try will then be in a much weaker f.
nancial condition.

there is a falling off to 1,6S4,718 tons.
THE importation of coke during the

the British public should have correct
information on this point, because,
owing to the present critical conditions
it is important that Norway should lay
in as large stocks as possible of grain,
coal and oil, and it is intended to in
crease the imports as far as financial
facilities will allow"

SOUND FINANCES

If the democratic national admins
tration had done nothing else than
provide the country with the new
banking and currency system soon TO
take effect. it would have earned the
continued confidence of the people.
Heretofore. bankers and depositors
have always been in peril of bank
failures and money -panics right in the
midst of prosperity and plenty. But
here is new banking and currency
law which makes solid securities
1oatable at any time the bank hold
ing them needs currency, and nothing
ever done in American banking legis-
lation has equalled the Glass owen
law in possibility of preventing panics
and hard times.
For instance. if a South Bend bank
were heretofore solid as a rock finan-
cially. and loaned its deposits on safe
securities Il had no protection against
its depositors calling for their money
and closing the bank if it could not
instantly borrow money ON the notes
bonds etc. it held as security for the
money it had loaned.
But under the new law. IL a member
bank has securities and becomes short
of ready for demand cash it simply
sends its good securities to "a reserve
bank, gets loan of currency on them
and pays all demands of creditors.
Furthermore. if there be great de-
mapd for money In one part OF the
country and not in another. then one
reserve bank can exchange its surplus
currency for securities held by the
reserve bank in the section where
more money is needed, and in this
way supply and demand viii be ad-
iusted TO needs all over the United
States
The result of the new law will be TO
make both bankers and depositors
safe and when this condition prevails.
as IL will when backed by the national
treasury, then panics will not be start

the case, finances Will be easy all over

SOLDIERS FRIENDS.

In these times OF wars and rumors
of wars. the old soldiers of Indiana.
who fully realize the calamity of war
and its results, are thankful that
peace and soldier veterans have two
such stalwart friends IN congress as
Sen. Shiyely and Congressman Barn
hart.
Both are earnestly and helpfully
assisting Pres't Wilson in his peace
policies, and both have shown the old
soldier boys that their pension and
military interests are in truly friendly
hands.
Shively is chairman Of the senate
pensions committee, and has helped as
much as any man in congress to enact
the better pension legislation recently
placed on the statute books as law
OF the land. Barnhart, too, was an
active participant in passing the Sher-
wood law, and hundreds of old sell
diers in the district have been helped
10 better pensions by him and know
him to be their true friend.
Wonder what their opponents
would do if they were elected? Would
they undo what Shively and Barnhart
have done for the soldiers. or would
they do as their party did in recent
years-nothing.

What If IL is Hot.
FLOWERS FROM THE SOUTH.

Having asked everybody in the
country TO buy a bale of cotton, the
south need not be shocked on re-
ceiving suggestions in addition to
checks. Experts from the department
of agriculture are in communication
with the southern agricultural univer-
sites and societies. and efforts are
being made to convince the south that
there are other crops than cotton
and other live stock than hogs, to be
raised. General farming may not be
suitable for the great area of the
south, but there are many places in
which cattle can be raised with profit,
the experts believe. To those who
dislike dealing in stock. the depart
ment suggests flowers.
The south is a possible flower grow
ing region of attractive future. y
visitor to one of the large green
houses in Indianapolis recently learn
ed that the flower business carried on
in this state is by no means confined
to the state. In the spring home
business is rushing. but later on In
dlandpOuS florists snip mowers ana
plants north by the thousand. The
Dakotas and Minnesota obtain a large
portion of their flower supply from
this city. Then a little bit later the
shipments go south. Southern cities
are regular and profitable customers
OF northern greenhouses. Winter flow
erS in the north must necessarily be
grown under glass and with the aid
of artificial heat In the south they
could be grown out of doors at much
less expense and with less trouble.
I Therefore, the department of agricul-
ture. alive 20 new trade opportunities,
advises the south to enter the flower
market.
The cut flower trade in the Ameri-
can cities of size and wealth amounts
to millions of dollars annually. Roses
alone have a value of $4,000, 600.
Wholesale cut flower business in New
y ork city totaled $3,500,000 in one
year Roses and carnations are per
haps the best sellers, but they are
hard pressed by violets. In violet
growing money is to be made. Grow
ers near New York were first to ap-
preCiate this. and now most of the
violets sold in the middle west come
from the famous 'farms"-or rather
cold frames-along the Hudson and
on Long Island. The department of
commerce points out the decrease in
the available supply of perfumery eX-
tracts. California has large sums in
vested in this business. The flower
and perfumery trade in this country
is expanding steadily. - Indianapolis

EASE PREVENTION DAY MEAS
URED IN DOLLARS AND CENTS.
Recently we had q Disease Proven
ton day in South Bend. Splendid
movement
The board Of education required
superintendent required the princi-
pals and the principals required all
teachers and pupils-carrying out the
boards intentiOns,-to get out and
make one grand parade in advance
ment of the cause of the public health.
And now the sequence:
Because the water department of
the city has come TO require the school
city TO pay for the water used in the
schools. the outcome OF a ruling Of the
state public service commission, this
same board OF education that compell-
ed the grand contribution TO the Dis
ease Prevention movement, is now
refusing to furnish the same high
school pupils that got out and paraded
the streets. with clean water TO battle
in.
Among the other equipments of the
high school building is a swimming
pool. Maybe it wasn't needed but it
is one Of the things incident 10 a
thoroughly equipped department of
athletics and aquatics. The use of
this pool. last year, was divided be
tween the girls and boys this way:
the boys had il on Mondays and Tues
days, and the girls Thursdays and Fri
days. On Wednesdays the water used
by the boys was let out and new,
clean water let in for the girls. anoth-
er reverse change taking place be-
tween Fridays and Mondays.
But not SO any more.
The board refuses TO change the wa
ter on Wednesdays the boys
and girls bathing. They say it costs
$40 a clip and they can't stand it.
At least that is the excuse given to
the pupils.
IN other words after $50 or 200
boys have bathed In this pool on Mon
days and Tuesdays from $50 To 800
girls are asked 10 go and do likewise
on Thursdays and Fridays.
OF course. $40 a week for water
alleged cost OF filling twice-means
approximately s72O for the school
year. but at that we have it on pref
" good mathematical authority that
$40 a week alleged cost OF filling
once-means $3.50 which is only $3.50
less than $720-and furthermore, that
YOU couldn't stuff S10 worth of water
into that pool, at the price charged.
if the pool were made of rubber.
Doubtful II you could get half that
amount OF water into Ii.
Figure 1t out for yourself The ca
pacity is $1,000 gallons and the price
is eight cents per thousand $2.96.-
or S1Os.56 for the extra charge for
the school year, instead of $500.
Which makes a splendid showing
for our health promoting board of
education. I'VE are supposed TO value
health above all things else" says the
board of health. but evidently the
board OF education knows better.
