PALMER At front
REPORTING WAR
He PROPHESIED
"The Last Shot" Is Virtual
ly Prophesy of What Is
Now Happening.

| When Frederick Palmer, tn famous
war correspondent, wrote THE Las
Shot" little did he think that the pic
| ture OF a modern war of world pow
ers which he 50 wildly picture:
would so soon becom ca reality. Th'
story is virtually a remarkable pro
| precy Of what is now happening il
Europe, as any readed will son dis
! cover
We have been fortunate in secur
ing this great story. 1t is an unu
sual piece OF fiction and the value O
it's timeliness will be readily appar
ent to every publisher. No writer is
better qualified to write of wordl
wars than Frederick Palmer, for he
| not only knows war and the men who
make war, but he knows the world
and has been practically all over it.
Mr.. Palmer is a native Of Pennsyl
vania, born at Pleasantville, in that
state in 1878. He was residing il
England at the time the Grecian-
Turkish war of 1895 began and Went
to the front as correspondent. Al
the close of this war he went to the
Klondike as a correspondent. He was
in the Orient in 1898 when the war
between the United States and Spain
began, and was with Admiral Dewey
at the battle of Manila, reporting ii
for the London Times and number
of American newspapers. He re-
manned with the American army in
the Philippines throughout the cam
paign against Aguinaldo. When the
international expedition for the
rescue of the foreign residents in
Picking was organized at the time of
the Boxer uprising in China he poined
it in the capacity of a correspondent
for his papers.
From 1900 to 1903 Mr.. Palmer saw
service in the Central and South
American and the Macedonian insur-
rections. With the breaking out OF
war between Japan and Russia he
Joined the first japanese army in the
field as the representative of the
London Times and Golfers Weekly,
and was almost the only correspond
ent who saw active service with tue
Japanese army. He was in Constan-
tinople during the Turkish revolution
of 1903, and was with the Bulgarian
army throughout the Balkan war of
1928.
In addition to this active career as
a war correspondent Mr.. Palmer has
circled the globe with Admiral Dewey
and again with the American battle
ship fleet in 1907-S. He is familiar
with every capital of Europe, and has
a, personal acquaintance with a very
large number OF prominent European
government officials and military
and naval commanders.
Mr.. Palmer is now at the front re-
porting the peresent war for the
papers he represents, and is witness
ing the fulfillment of the prophecy
contained in his notable story, THE
Last Shot"
The second installment of this re-
markable storyf on which the copy
right has not expired and which is
being sold in book form for $1.35,

ROsPERITY
PATRIOTIC MOVEMENT SPREADS.

The "buy-a-bale" movement prom
ises to eclipse any economic under
taking of this generation. In less
than two weeks it Nhas spread
throughout the South and is extend
ing to all sections of the United
States Business grimes of the North
East and West, interested in the bust
ness affairs of the South, are display
ing generous disposition to do their
part to aid the colt N country. The
fact that buying cotton at 10 cents
is good business does not detract from
the patriotic action of firms and in
diviiuals volunteering to buy cotton
and retire it from the market.
This movement proves that the
business man Is ready to do his part,
and the success of this gigantic plan
now depends upon the farmer him
self. There never was time in the
history of our civilization when there
was such {: spirit of cooperation and
understanding between the consumer
and the producer, and with the vast
machinery OF the nation placed at
the disposal OF the farmer, it is up
to him to take advantage of the op-
portunity knocking at his door.
If the farmer will agree to do as
nh II -,
man is doing for him and will hold
one-third of his cotton this year and
cut his acreage next year, he will
have solved the greatest problem
which he has ever been called to
meet and will prove himself master
in the world of economics,

BACK TO THE Sun.

Real estate men from different
sections of the country report heavy
sales in farm lands during the past
month, indicating that the back to
the soil' movement has not diminish
ed on account of the present unset
tied condition of affairs in the finan-
cial world.
There. is an instructive longing In
the heart of every man to be a pro-
ducer-a longing to take from the
soil an equivalent for that which he
consumes. 1t is this desire which
forms the basis for the "back to the
sOil' movement which are sweeping
the country today. Mother Earth is
always safe and available. She has
never repudiated a debt, never denied
an obligation, nor sought morotor-
ium. She conserves the principle and
compounds the interest.

THE fact that Macmillan thought he
saw Crocker land during two days,
combined with his reference to young
ice, appears to indicate the existence
in that locality of a persistent polynia
(area of open water), associated possi-
bly, with the big lead" which l found
north of Greenland and Grant land. and
with the edge Of the Continental shelf.
Probably MacMillan's soundings will
throw light on this.
1T would appear that Macmillan and
Green narrowly escaped the fate of the
Duke OF the Abruzzis supporting party.
which was lost by the breaking up of
the ice north Of Franz Joseph land.
Il am glad that the energy and inter-

History has resulted in this region

determined.
And am particularly glad that Mac
MILAN and Green accomplished their
hazardous journey and returned in
sa afety instead Of having the protracted
and, as 1t may yet prove. fatal expert
