Nothing of Encouraging Ma ture Toward Relieving the Situation Develops at Washington Yesterday
PROBLEM OF THE HEAD NOT OF THE HEART, SAYS THE PRESIDENT
Georgia Delegation Urges Government Help-Sena- tor Bankhead Says South Must Assist Itself

Washing ston. October S.-tSpeeiaI. } While several features today developed in Washington in the cotton relief uit- uafion. not one was of m encouraging nature to the south, and the problem of tfding the pinched planters over the period of stringency seems no nearer to solution than 1t was a week ago. To delegations of southern members, of Congress President Wilson has said 1t Is "n problem. of the hesd and not of the heart. From present indications, It looks though 1t soon might be- come n problem for the stomach for those who are crying vsinly for succor.
 As part of an almost continuous daily procession of congressman and other men from the south. the Georgia delegation today called at the White House and urged the President to devise some meth- cd through which the government could help the cotton planters. The situation once more was laid before the Presi- dent who again expressed approval of the Smith-Lever warehousing bill, but depre- cated suggestions for national financial Legislation.
 Must Help Itself
 Al almost the same time Senator Bank head. in a speech to the Senate, asserted that the south must help itself through the legislatures of their respective cot ton states. repeating the address he re- cently issued to the people of Alabama through the columns of The Age-Herald. No speech in recent weeks has been fol- lowed with. closer attention and interest, and both his fellow senators and the peo- pie In the galleries seemed to be highly impressed.
 Also at the same time the House com mittee on banking and currency met to consider couple of relief bills, while at the saiue hour committee of south err congressman, including Representa- tive Heflin. was hard at work framing still another measure for financial assist anee. With this committee in session Representative Henry appeared before the bankers and currency committee and asked that his bill, the first up for con sideration, De laid over for a time
 Virtually No Discussion
 The committee obliged by laying It on the table. and so chloroformed it. This action was taken on motion of Rep resentative Korbley, after virtually no discussion The Henry bill provided for the loan of s50o0Oo.oOo to cotton planters at per cent, on cotton collateral, and valorization at 10 cents a pound.
 Representative Carter introduced a bill for an issue of s2OO, 900 GOO in treasury notes to be apportioned in the cotton states and for banks in towns and villages of less than 5Oo0 population to receive equal consideration with banks in larger towns and cities Banks loaning this money would give bond to the treasury and the interest rate would not be over per cent

A Trip 20 the Cove.

The Grantsvile correspondent of the
Republican, Of Meyersdale, Pa, has the
following interesting item in last week S
paper:
Among the many automobile that
scooted through Grantsville Sunday
afternoon was that of James Slicer, the
well known drum and trap artist of
Meyersdale, with Mr.. and Mrs. W. S.
Llvengood and Miss Frances Livengood
of Meyersdale. Miss Nancy Livengood
of Salisbury, and Miss Emily B. Gnagey
of Pittsburgh as passengers, their desti-
nation being the childhood home of Mr..
Livengood and sister, which is now
reached by the new state road from
keyser's Ridge into the Cove. After
leaving the Ridge they ran into dense
bank of clouds which completely obscur-
ed the beautiful Cove landscape, one of
the grandest views in America The
fog was so thick on the Devils Half
Acre" that the Devil himself could not
have been seen scratching up the gravel
at distance of one rod from the side
of the road. After brief look at the
old log cabin once called home, and
which is soon to be torn away, and be-
ing treated to delicious apples galore
from the old orchard, by the present
owner of the farm, Albert Ringer, the
party turned homeward and ran into
snow storm on Keyser's Ridge, which
followed them all the way home, the
homeward journey being made via the
Pike to Little Meadows thence via the
Meadow Mountain ridge road to Sails
bury.

NOT A GOOD PROSPECT.

There is going to be considerable
trouble when the winter session of the
Sixty-third Congress assemblies next
month. The President, alarmed at the
indignant revulsion of the country over
the scandalous profllgacy of the long
session which terminated shortly before
the elections, has issued strict orders to
heads of executive departments to cut
all estimates of appropriations to the
very bone, so that the party may in
some measure live down the eXtraya-
giant record of the previous session,
which appropriated the enormous sum
of 81, 100, 900, 900. which was 500, 900, 900
in excess of the last Republican Con-
gress, which was so hypocritically de-
nounced by Democratic platform and
speakers IN the campaign of 1912.
However fair the intentions of the ad-
ministration may be, it is not believed
its warnings against extravaganza will
have any effect on Congress.
When the pork" was knocked out
of the $53, 900, 900 rivers and harbors
bill through Republican initiative, and
scaled down to 500, 100000 the South
ern "pork" representatives gave warn
ing that they would come back with
another pork" measure at the next
session. And they are going to do it.
Another big dip into the treasury is
threatened in a public building bill.
which bears some of the features of
the rivers and harbors measure in en-
abling Congressman to make good"
with their constituents by lavish ex-
penditure of the public money. Still
another proposition looking to further
depletion of the Treasury funds is the
promised ratification of the treaty with
Columbia, which provides for che pay
ment or $25, 0t0, 900 to the South Ameri-
can blackmailers.
With 800. 100000 war tax" hung
on the people, and the continued def
Gent customs receipts from the Under
wood-Simmons tariff bill, the Demo-
cratic party will have some difficult
problems confronting it. With an I'M

WHILE there is nothing in particular
just at this time toIwhich we wish to
call the attention of our readers, we
cannot let our weekly opportunity pass
without giving some word of greeting
t. our fellow countians. The chief
matter engaging the attention of the
farmers at present, or should be en-
gaging their attention, is the existence
in our community of the dreaded foot
and mouth disease. We are a little
afraid that the people generally do not
appreciate the seriousness of this ma
lady among the stock. Only the most
violent eXertions on the part of the
authorities and the hearty cooperation
on the part of the farmers will hold
the disease in check and eventually
eradicate it. The appearance of the
trouble all over the country at widely
different points and the rapidity with
which new cases are being discovered
clearly shows the immense loss in
which the farmers of this country are
In imminent danger just at time when
all other prospects are the most glow
ing. Therefore we wish to sound
warning to leave no stone unturned in
the fight against this epidemic.

GARRETT COUNTY'S EXAMPLE.

The editor of the Meyersdale Pa :,
Republican has this to say about our
Local option victory:
No better eXempIification of the
moral fiber of the people Of Garrett
county, Nd, could be had than the
overwhelming majority by which the
voters of that comfy decided on No
vember Bird to make the county dry"
all over. Under the privilege of local
option. but few "wet" spots remained
on Garrett county map during the past
few years. The "wettest' spot re-
naming is Oakland, the county-seat,
otherwise one of the decentest little
cities to be found anywhere Grants
vile, which for many years had the
unenviable reputation of being one of
the most besotted little towns on the
National Pike, did awav with its saloons
several years ago and the village has
never prospered and improved more in
so short time as it has since becoming
"dry" town.
BY the phenomenal vote of 2412 to
5O0 the entire county voted last week
for the adjustment of the licensed
liquor traffic within its borders. 1t is
amazing that only sos men cut of
total of nearly 5000 lined up on the side
of booze. This is majority of nearly
five to one against the saloon. We
doubt If there is another county in the
United States, except in some of the
extreme prohibition states, that comes
nearer being unanimously, "dry" than
good old Garrett county.
1t is to be expected, of course, that
some of the old soaks who have an in
herlted or cultivated appitite for booze,
and who voted for license, will continue
to drink booze as long as any is made
they Will manage to get it in some
way, even if they have to come over in
to Pennsylvania or travel down to
Frostburg or Homecoming to get it, if
blind pigs" at home, fail to keep
them supplied, but it is sure thing that
there will be less inebriation in Garrett
county after MAY 1st next, when the
licensed saloons must go out of business,
and that the moral plane and material
welfare of the county, as a whole, will
rise to height hitherto unequalled.
The writer having spent 10 years of
his life IN Garrett county when it was
yet very wet" and having seen the
blight put on many of his boyhood
friends by the Demon Drink, rejolces
that John Barleycorn is soon to have no
legalized place in the county where he
may ensnare and debauch the Young
men. Welcome the day when Somerset
county, Pa, will follow the good example
set by her southern neighbour

A heal Thank ssiving.

For many years since the close of the
Civil War the American people have
been disposed to observe Thank sgiving
IN perfunctory manner until it has de-
generated into day of feasting, jollity
and amusement, with little reference to
the spirit of the occasion.
This nation has now come face to face
with situation that should bring every
true American to his knees on Thurs
day week with devout spirit and a
heart full of appreciation of the mercies
of Almighty God; that we have escaped
being brought into the desolatlon that is
now sweeping Europe.
While it is true the nations at war
believe in the same God, and each pro-
fesses to be blessed with His favor in
their cause, we have been given the
more substantial evidences of His p1o-
violence. 1t is better, therefore, to
turn to Him while we are enjoying His
peace and protection, His mercy and
his bounty, than to wait until our dark
hour approaches and then in our ex-
tremity rush to the sanctuaries we
avoided in our safety. If this is His
favored land, it is not because we are
free of sin and offense. Thanksgiving
day will afford an opportunity tor humi-
lation before Him. to recall our short
comings, to plead for His compassion
and that He help us to strive for that
true righteousness that exaleth a
nation.
We hear more about God now be-
cause the world is in trouble. If we
keep on forgetting Him because we
think we do not need Him, then when
our day of wrath comes He will not be
likely 10 remember US.

afternoon, lost his equilibrium and fell
through the plate glass windows of
Misses Dixon & Trench's millinery
parlors. He went through head first,
and that he was not seriously cut about
the head and face by the shower of
broken glass IS almost miraculous. He

pending the receipt of advices from his

Company. as to the source of the
amount necessary to pay the expense
of replacing the glass.

THE PROSPERITY OF THE FARM.
Today II is The Farmer Who is
Financially in the Lead.


The estimates as to the values of
the crops of the United States for the
year 1914 place them as the highest IN
aggregate that have ever been recorded
This is the result after allowing for
the shrinkage of value of more than
$500, 900, 900 in the cotton crop, and that
allowance is surely the maximum of
any shrinkage in values.
The most important of our crops show
an increase IN total values of $104, 000,-
GOO over the totals of the same crops
last year, and this with everything
indicating larger yields and higher prices
than those employed as the basis for
computations.
We INVITE the closest attention of our
readers to these factors of national
prosperity, and reminding them of the
great demand abroad for the wheat,
the corn, the oats, the barley, the rye,
and so many other products of our
farms, we feel certain they will realize
that the country is entering an era of
unexampled activity in trade, both
foreign and domestic.
These facts show concluslvely that
that our agriculturists are receiving
greater sums of cash for years
products of their lands than they have
ever received since our history be-
gan. That means that their purchasing
power this year will be increased more
than 500, geo, 600 from the direct pro-
duction OF their lands.
10 this gain must be added fully
another $10O. 900, 600 through increased
receipts of cash by them from sales of
horses, cattle, sheep, poultry and dairy
products. The farmers of the United
States have had their purchasing pow
er, their paying power, increased fully
500. 600, GOO this year over that of 1918,
The tiller of the soil is coming to his
own. His grain, his horses, his cattle
and sheep are in demand and at good
prices. His barns are full from the
harvest of the field; his cellar is packed
with the products of the garden, and
his pantry is we'll stored with fruits,
prepared by the skillful hands of his
wife and daughters. Buyers call at his
home to purchase what he may offer
for sale,
The farmer of Garrett county enters
the long winter months in good spirits
and with great hopefulness. He has
toiled and struggled to win out and
he has not struggled in vain. The
rroof of this is seen as one travels over
the county, in the splendid homes, large
barns and fertil farms; in the beautiful
imposing church edfices seen every
where, and in the comforts and con-
veniences of his home The Republi-
can rejoices with the Garrett county
farmer in the splendid victory he has
won, IN making the wilderness blossom
like the rose," and congratulates these
pioneers who have brought the back
woods county into the very front and
given Garrett county a proud and
prominent place in the history of the
State Of MARYLAND.
The Republican wishes the farmer
still greater success in making Garrett
county one of the foremost counties of
this commonwealth We believe the
county has entered upon greater and
happier career.

West VIRGINIA Hav Crop.

West Virginia farmers produced 500,
600 tons of tame or cultivated hay dur
ing 1914, according to the preliminary
estimates made by the United States
Department of Agriculture. The yield
last year was 925, 900 tons. The pro-
duct is selling for an average of SLIGO
per ton, compared with $142O per ton
in 1913. The yield per acre this season
four-fifths of ton and the quality is
not as good as that of the average
crop of the past ten years.

The county is place in which to
learn some of the deep lessons of life.
On the hills, up in the mountains,

IN the wide stretches of desert, IN the
depths of the forests, under the blue
sky and the stars, on the winding rivers
and the boundless oceans-everywhere
in the solitudes men have heard, and
may yet hear, the voice of Divine Wis
DIM.
