GOVERNMENT BUYS S60,000
 WORTH OF OATS

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 7.-Buy- CTS for the United States govern ment have closed a contract with the Northern Grain and Ware house company of Spokane for about $60,000 worth of oats to be exported to Uncle Sans for eign possessions. The order calls for total of 2,000 tons with an option of increasing it to 2,5OO tons. The contract requires that delivery be made during October at the Portland docks. The en- tire shipment is being purchased in the Spokane country. The same company also closed a con- tract recently for 1000 tons ot wheat for October delivery at Portland. This was purchased by a London firm to be exported to the United Kingdom. The two orders represent about 260 cars of grain.

THE MASTER HAND.

Fortunately for the country, a master hand is at the helm at Washington. He realizes what neutrality should be, and he will see that it is observed. His wisdom, proven in so many ways in the repeal of the Panama Canal tolls exemption law, irri- tating to foreign nations; in the handling of the dangerous Mex ican problem in the pushing through of the Federal courren- | cy law, which now prevents any financial stress-this wisdom we may feel sure is still supreme and still for the noble uses of the best interests of the country no matter what demands may be made upon it.
 The few little critics of Presi- dent Wilson cannot yet resign themselves to a cessation of their snapping at his heels, no matter what he does. They are not significant save as of obe- dience to partisan orders. The greater critics of recent times have honorably and patriotical- | ly admitted their mistake and are giving the President that support in his foreign policy he so richly deserves.
 As for the people, who are be- yond and above all newspapers and politicians in the the power and majesty of their will-they have learned to trust Woodrow Wilson. They trust him now in this delicate problem of neutrali- l ty. They know that the master hand is at the helm.-Boston Post Ind.).

A ARKANSAS FARMERS
 MOVE FREQUENTLY

Washington, D. C., Oct. I'm compiling data for the last Fed eral Census, the enumerators asked every farmer in Arkansas this question: How long have you lived on the farm y0u now occupy?" This question was an- swered by 194,798 of the 214,678 farm operators in this State. More than 75,000 stated that they had occupied their farms only one year or less; 49,530 from 2 to 4 years; 30,538 from , to 9 years and 39,697 10 years and over. The most restless class of people in this State is the tenant who operates his farm on the share basis.

A FACTORY ON THE FARM.

A silo is factory on the farm and therefore lends itself to CO., operation of the commercial and agricultural interests. The farm CT gets the profit of both pro- ducer and consumer.
 We need more of these twin agencies of prosperity on the farms of Arkansas and business men cannot render a better ser vice to their communities than in encouraging the building of silos. The silo is a great busi- ness educator. It arOuses the spirit of enterprise, develops business ingenuity and awakens the joy of ownership.
 A farmer can build a silo for two or three hundred dollars, and it will under ordinary conditions, pay a dividend of 40 per cent where it is run to capacity.

THE UNITED STATE IS
 NEUTRAL.

President Wilson was exceed ingly happy in the language he used in explaining the attitude of the Government of the United State toward Belgian representa- tions with regard to alleged atro- cities committed by the Germans and to the German Kaiser's charges regarding dumdum bull lets.
 The Presidents replies contain a clear cut statement of the neu- trality which the United State Government is observing and must observe. The President was also happy in making it clear that final judgement upon these charges and counter charges will be rendered by the public opinion of mankind.
 Whatever the opinions of indi- vidual Americans may be, the Government of the United States can not be expected to do any thing more than receive these representations from other gov ernmentS and courteouslv to acknowledge their receipt.

ppESIDENT'S APPEAL lnD TO COLORADO

President Wilson has appealed
 !. hoth sides and all faction in
 GI9o1Oyado I9 rall to agree to a truce in
 the S coal mine strike there on the
 hasis s.,s s'l proposed by the national
 commission orp of conciliatlon.
 SVlI Tho country at large has rath-
 ,r lost n sight of the deplorable ss;taation in Colorado, what with tSs sI'a's settlements of the Mexican enlistment and then of the Eu- ru mnean war. Federal troops are in inp control of the disturbed dis tricts 1T and have brought order.
 Rut is merely order and not npace. The hostile forces still rremain uncompromising in their attitudes. For a patriotic relin-
 uishment of this spirit-for it's replacement by one of the mu- |mal accommodation-the Presi- ! |dent appeals. As MT. Wilson says:
 "This is a time when every thing should be done that is pos sble for men to do to see that all untoward and threatening cir cumstances of every sort are taken out of the life of the peo- pie of the United States"
 What is needed in Colorado is that all social groups, political factions and material interests shall agree to forget the past and make a fresh start. The argu- ment about rights" and Wrongs" has been endless and has become futile. There are so many rights and so many wrongs on all sides.
 The Colorado quarrel has be- come Ike a family Quaffel. Eacn side has proved so many offenses against the other that disinter- ested outsiders can reach no con- clusion save that both were wrong and that the only way out IS for both to forget the past and begin all over again.
 What the people of Colorado plainly need is a general and pa trotlc resolution of forgetful- ness and forgiveness. That is what the wise and patient head of O the nation appeals for and mat IS what the patriotic spirit ol 2 Colorado should highly resolve upon, oE for the nations welfare. - Chlcago Herald Qndo.

The Wilson ObsessiOn.
rom the Globe-Democrat.

From the Globe Democrat.
 That there has been vertible
 Wilson obsession among Demo-
 crats in Congress has been fact
 recognized since soon after the opening of the longest session in
 our history. Lately there have
 been commentators bold enough
 to say that the obsession extends
 to the mass of the people. We
 are too near the event of the first congressional election under MT. Wilson's administration to make a claim of that kind advisable. The by elections held since his inauguration have shown noth- ing to prove it. Yet it was made plain, during the course of the House proceedings on the direct tax bill, that less than One-third of the Democrats capable of see- ing the unpopularity of the mea- Isure were capable of trying to only obstruct it with their votes
 as a means of making a record on which to appeal to their con-
 stituents. The rest were under the Wilson obsession so far that they went on record, against their political and personal judg- Iment, for what they know to be a very unpopular measure. This
 lis a sort of feeling which, if the people are found to be much less
 obsessed than Washington, will
 react against the President with
 great force during the short
 term beginning in December.

w. B. GARRETT WRITES
 LETTER FROM TEXAS

EdltOr News:
 Ideal weather for gathering. the enormous crops of west Texas has prevailed for the past month.
 l don't think ever experienc- ed more delightful weather. The heat, except at short intervals during the day, has not been un- comfortable and the nights have been pleasantly cool. But for the low price of cotton farmers here would have everything to make them happy so far as the things of this world goes. The crop of feed that is about all gathered is just simply enor- nous and cotton is making a very satisfactory yield-the best the country has had in sev- eral years. Except few re- ports of boil worms over small areas, cotton has not suffered but very little from insect pests. The fields are still in full leaf and blooming. No army worms or boil weevils. From what I have seen and learned I would estimate the yield at third of a bale or more on an average. While many acres will turn out from a half to a bale per acre. Picking is progressing quite rap idly, but many more hand could bs employed.
 Unless considerable more help is obtained there will be cotton in the fields next Christmas.
 With the exception of some light showers about the middle of September. We have had ideal crop gathering weather ever since August 18th.
 If farmers could receive as good a price for cotton here this year as last, most every one would have been all right finan- cially but as conditions prevail now the price almost cut in half they will not realize enough to meet their needs.
 Perfect health which is the most valuable asset of the West Texas country prevails almost uninterruptedly. 1 have been here in Mitchell county now over twelve months and have not heard of a doctors services being required by any one of the thir- teen families who reside in this community. How is that for health?
 Reece Adams of Howard coun- ty, wrote me recently that he was getting along very satisfac- torily from the effects of the operation for appendicitis in Au- gust, though he says his doctor tells him that he will not be able to work before Spring.
 Are there any Nevada County folks going to attend the Dallas Fair which opens on the 17th, and hold till Nov. 1st? l am intending to visit the Fair about the 21st and would love to meet some of my friends from Ark ansas there.
 That much happiness and prosperity may attend all of the News readers including it's Edi- tor and family is the wish of

WAR NEWS AT A GLANCE

The official silence maintained for the past 12 hours over the operations of the allies in North eastern France was broken to- day by 9n official statement from Paris. This set forth that the left wing of the allied army was extending more and more wide ly; that strong forces of German cavalry had appeared in the vici- nity of Lille, in the department of N0rd that between the Som- me and the Disc there has been alternate advances and with drawals, and that a German at tack near Lassigny had failed. North of Soissons the allies have advanced. The rest of the front shows no change.
 i The disclosure that the opera tions on the western end of the great battle line have reached the vicinity of Lille places the Germans in strength at a point easily within 10 miles of the Bel gian frontier. Taking Lassigny as the elbow of the French battle line, it now extends roughly for 80 miles due north and for con- siderably over 100 miles from Lassigny to the eastward.
 In spite of the fact that the French yesterday were compell- ed to yield ground before the German attacks on their left wing, confidence in the ultimate success of this fanking move ment in favor of the allies is described in a Paris dispatch as undiminished. French military critics refuse to attach impor- tance to the setback announced in Paris yesterday. Great Bri- tain is also described as optimis- tic concerning the nature of the revelations when the curtain of secrecy is drawn aside.
 No confirmation has come from any German source of the reported removal by Emperor William of Field Marshal von Moltke from the post of chief of the German general staff and the succession by Maj-Gen. von Voights-Rhetz. This story was received in London last night from Amsterdam. Gen. von Voights-Rhetz, according to an official announcement from Der lin Saturday recently was ap- pointer quartermaster-general of the German army in place of Gen. von Stein, who had been given command of an army corps.
 The Japanese navy depart ment, in explaining the occupa- tion of the German Island of Ja- luit, one of the Marshall group in the South Pacific, declares the move was made for military pur- poses and not for permanent oc~ cupation.
 French troops are well estab- lished in Alsace, according to a news dispatch from Belfort, France, and the German forces before them are not numerous. Another newspaper correspon- dent te!eQraphs that the French are fortified in excellent posi- tions in the Vosges.
 A second Russian army is now threatening the Town of Huszt in Eastern Hungary, according to a news dispatch from Rome. Huszt is 40 miles from the boundary of Galicia.
 The day brought no news from the scene of operations in the eastern arena of the war, along | the German~Russian' frontier, where battle of more vast pro- portions than the one in North western France is said to be about to begin. Emperor Nich- olas is at the Russian front and the impending combat may be- come of supreme importance.
