CALI. TO COTTON FAIJHEhS.
Organize The Townships, Sign the
Pledges and Reduce Acreage.
ilelng Called.

To the Farmers o. NeWberry County:
As chairman OF your cotton con-
eress of Newberry county | have been
trying to get organizations CT each
township as outlined by The State cot
ton congress some weeks ago. These
township organizations are very ir<v
portant, and you rave chairman
elected or appointed Tor each town
ship. SO you will see from today's
county papers that Dr.. Wade Stack
house mas ordered a meeting for each
county to be held at II o'clock a. m.
October /. There will be a meeting
in the court house at Newberry s.
C.
IL possible let us get each town
ship organized and as many pledges
signed before our county meeting as
possible We are facing a serious
problem in disposing of this cotton
crop, and thei planting of another
crop next year, a condition unparal-
led since the civil war.
We want as many to become mem
bers in Newberry county as possible,
it costs only S1.00-but do not let
this keep you from signing this
pledge. Just as soon as the cotton
belt signs these pledges to reduce the
cotton acreage for 1915, you will see
the price of cotton gain strength, for
in doing this we slow to the world
our willingness and determination to
reduce the cotton acreage as outlin-
ed in our pledges.
Now, as to consumption, we have
only our American mills to look for
ward to for market for our produc-
ton for 1914 These mills will not
consume more than six to six and
halft million bales, and this will only
be bought during the next u months
Granting that England consumes g.
100000 bales, Japan and other coun-
tries consume 100000 more, you will
see that We only have an outlet for
ten to eleven million bales during the
next II months, leaving as surplus
five to six million bales. You can
readily see the importance Of reduc-
tion Of so per cent. for the year 1915.
Let me urge you as county chair
man to organize your townships, be-
come members of this organization,
sign these pledges, and let the coun-
ty show up we'll at the State Cotton
congress to be held in Columbia
some time alter the county meeting.
Respectfully.
C. E. Summer,
Chairman County Cotton Congress.

There was a marriage in town Sun
day. Mir. Marshall E. Garrett, Of New

of Prosperity to the Baptist church

Rev. E. Pendleton Jones' 1t was a
very quiet, rather sudden affair, tie

At Silverstreet on Friday morning
Mr. Henry o. Longs little 12-year-old
son, Oscar, while cranking his fathers

his right arm broken. 1t was such a
serious case the surgeon, Dr. W. G.

not being advisable to lose time wait

cal unassisted applied the ether and re-
set the broken bones, and Oscar is
getting along all right.

Since sending that amount in Mr..
Klettner has another' contribution on

citizens are urged to aid in this nee

Of all the nations involved in the aw-
full war.
The Washington Herald takes up
the cry of The Herald and News
against the war and with it asks:
"Is there no power in all the uni
verse to stop it? Must all Europe
be widowed and orphaned?' The Her
aid says that ''the human mind fails
to measure the slaughter-a Niagara
Of blood is deluging Europe" Well
may the Herald say: "Suca frightful
blotting out Of life and tearing of hu-
man flesh has never been witnessed
under heaven-millions of men strew-
ing Gods earth with dead by the tens
of thousands" America Stands
aghast, Mortified at a world-scourge
no other generation has known"

Who fought lifes battles so brave.
Such a sweet, calm feeling came DER

And it seemed as ii a voice near,

with his soul, all is WE'LL
The twilight was descending quickly
With it's soft glowing tints in the

When the choir cnanted sweetly eve

But Jesus loved him best
Then we solemnly left the grave Of

Whose sympathy and love in tho
past
Are engraven on our hearts so deeply
That HIS memory will forever last

ures they deem needfulsto meet con-
ditions.
There has been no call from out
side New York for Northumberland
currency, and it was not believed
that other banks would make such
calls. The treasury is stocked with
many millions more of bills printed,
stamped and packed ready for instant
shipment. The very fact that this sum
is here is expected to have a reassur-
ing effect throughout the country
Another factor which officials think
may help to allay uneasiness is the
deposit Of $34,OOO,OOO by the treas
ury in national banks in the farming
sections of the country to be used. in
moving crops. This fund will be avail
able as soon as the banks comply with
the conditions laid down by the de-
partment, and probably will be placed
at their disposal within short time.

There were two cases in the num-

suspected Of stealing chickens from
a locked building. The prisoner was
liberated on $500 bond to appear
before the Grand jury.
Geo. Arnold caused the arrest Of
Dewitt Rhodes on the charge Of de-
frauding. Mr.. Arnold contends that
a team hired from him by Rhodes
was driven farther than was bargained
for, and one horse died as the result.
The team was used July rs, which
was an excessively hot day and the
horse died the following Tuesday.
The jury found the defendant not
guilty.

past week there has been a great
demand for dimes. Several have been
found with o or D on them, and gocd
prices have been offered for dimes
bearing the letters F or r, but none
have been offered for sale, because
they do not exist. The bankers say
that neither the r nor r can be found.
The only minis in existence now are
Philadelphia, which uses no mark,
San Francisco, which uses an o, Dem,

Of Old Minnesota
Secretary Schmahl Will Request Legis-
Nlature To Make Suitable Appro-
priatiOn for Work
/, 1915 rs APPOINTED TIME
State Constitution Demands Periodic
Court lanes A. Larson Appointed
To Have Direct Charge

The state must take census next
year. The state constitution requires
that this be done every ten years. be-
ginning with 1865. This makes the
count midway between the federal
enumerations at the beginning of each
decade.
The 1905 census cost about $65, 900,
but Julius A. Schmahl, secretary Of
state, who has general supervision of
the work, says that it will take $780,
900 this time.
The 1905 census was unsatisfactory.
and the figures were never generally
relied on. Next year Mr.. Schmahl
hopes that he will be able to take a
census which will be as thorough as
that taken by the federal government.
Already he has delegated his as
sistant, James A. Larson, to have di-
rect charge of the work. It is likely
that special supervisors will be APP
pointed in st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth, but that the rest of the coun-
ties will be handled direct from head
quarters.
EnumeratOrs to Be Appointed
The enumerators will be appointed
by the secretary Of state and will be
responsible to him. Probably the fed
eral system will be used. DIR. A. Dana
Dutand, who was director Of the last
federal enumeration, is now special
professor of economics at the Uni
versity Of Minnesota, and will be re-
lied on by Mr.. Schmahl for helpful
suggestions. Mr.. Durand is an ex-
pert in statistical work and with his
cooperation the 1915 census probably
will be the only one ever taken by
the State where the results can be
depanaed on.
TheSlegislature will be asked by
Mr.. Schmahl to make an appropria-
tion for the census as soon as it con-
venes next january, SO that the work
can begin at once.
1t Improbable that the actual count
will be made in April and May and
the results tabulated by September. ].

Treasury Ships 100000. 900

Before Mr.. McAdoo left Washing
ton the treasury shipped out about
$100,000,000 of the Aldrich-Vreeland
currency which was in the vaults Of
the sub-treasury yesterday ready for
the New York banks. This currency
in most essentials is like that Of the
national banks, but can be issued only
on the security Of high class COM
mercial paper or state and municipal
bonds.
Commercial paper used for this pur-
pose must be approved not only by
the bank which asks for currency in
exchange, but by the particular spec
,ial association of which the bank is
member. In addition the security
must be- acceptable to the govern
ment. Yesterday Mr.. McAddo and Mr.
Williams probably scanned securities Of
fered by New York banks for emer-
gency currency.
Would Keep Stock Exchange Closed
It would not surprise officials in
Washington if Mr.. McAdoo used his
influence in New York to keep the
New York stock exchange closed for
some time.
No direct proposal of this kind may
be made, but he is expected to show
that the government does not look
kindly upon the re-opening of the ex-
change at this time and the specu-
lation which may follow.

Unconfrmed Reports Given of In

German forces Sunday began the
invasion of France without, SO far as
is known, a declaration of war hav-
ing >mads. Two German detach-
ments entered French territory NOV
ing in the direction of Paris.
German Army in France .FS
One German force crossed the
French frontier near the village of
Grey, between Nancy and Strassburg,
and another German detachment,
probably the Twenty-ninth infantry,
Saturday night, invaded the Grand
Duchy of Luxembourg, neutral terri
tory between Belgium and Germany,
and continued its march on the French
fortified town of Longwy. A dispatch
from Brussels said there was good
reason to believe that this force,
later in the day, entered France.
Duplicating Franco Prussion War
The German force which came in
to France near Grey, which is 40
miles from Nancy, is reported to have
been repulsed with heavy losses, but
this has not yet been confirmed.
Apparently the German army is
duplicating the first movement Of the
Franco Prussion war. 1t was on Aug.
2, 1870, that the French and Germans
clashed in the first battle of that war
at Saarbrucken where the Prince Inn
perial, under the orders of the en-
peror, received his famous Baptism
of fire."
1t appeared Sunday that Germany
is taking the fullest possible advan-
tage of her supposed superiority in
rapid mobilization over France. M
The plan Of the German emperor,
according to military observes here,
is to vanquish or attempt to vanq1isli
France in the interval before Russia
will be able to create serious trohbfe
on her northern frontier. 1t is sup
posed that Russion mobilization viii
take about three weeks. CO,
All telegraphic and telephone conn
munication between Brussels and Lux
emburg has been severed. IN
Neutral Territory Invaded -
BY the treaty of London, signed
in 1867, the Grand Duchy of Luxenls
burg was declared neutral territory.
Its integrity and independence were
guaranteed.
Longwy is fortified town Of
France on the Belgium frontier, 40
miles northwest of Metz in Germany.
A train full of German soldiers ar
rived at the station at Luxembourg
during the night. The troops seized
the station and the bridges on the
Treves and Trois vierges line in or.

military tains across the Grand Duchy.
Germans Claim Right
After these seizures the soldiers
proceeded to the barracks. The major

Jaehning Purchase Faribault
County Land
FAMOUS GRANT FARM BOUGHT
Purchasers Pay sos Per Acre For
Tract Of $40 Acres; One Of States
Best Equipped Farms

A farm purchase of considerable
size is reported from Faribault, this
state, the announcement being that
Julius A. Schmahl, James A. Larson
and George A. Jaehning, the former
I've sint tho state department at St.
Paul, and the latter of Redwood Falls,
have purchased what is known as the
Dcnafd- W. Grant farm, located adj
jacent to, and partly in the city Of
Faribault. The farm is regarded as
one Of the finest in the state. The
buildings, including . twelve-rocm
modern residence, are all electric
lighted, while electricity furnishes sll
the power on the farm. The farm
is splendidIy stocked with fine animals,
etc. The tract consists of nearly $40
acres, and the trio paid sos per acre
for the same. A few moments after
the contract was entered into the pur-
chasers were offered big advance on
the amount they have paid for the
tract.
The purchase was made from Mrs.
Margaret Grant, widow Of the late
Donald Grant, the latter being known
throughout this state as one of the
big railroad construction contractors
Of Minnesota, and who was, during
his life time, interested in various
Venezuelan concessions. The death Of
Mr. Grant left the farm in Mrs.
Grants possession, and the fact that
the management Of the tract was too
much Of a responsibility for her
caused her to make the sale.
