RAISE FOODSTUFFS
Whatever Happens, Food Is Never a
Superfluous Luxury.

Live men must eat, no matter what
else may happen. Food must be had
| for 100000 population of this country,
with much to spare for another 10000
900, at least, in the countries now at
war. 81
Only one European country among
those now working mutual destruction
of the ordinary means of living produces
enough food for ITSELF even in time of
peace. Whatever may be the outcome
OF the war; there will be an immediate
demand for food a demand that will in
crease the longer war is waged, de-
mand that is likely to end the war.
With all channels OF supplies from out
side closed, with half a dozen nations III
the condition rapidly taking form in
Europe, We may look for a simultaneous
movement in all the countries by the men
and women not In the fighting ranks for
enough food to keep them alive. They
will not ask why food Is scarce; they
will not hesitate to take it wherever it
may be found.
The armed forces may possibly be
compelled to turn their weapons against
their own people in riot and rapine un-
paralleled in history. in the opinion of
the Manufacturers Record.
Famine will put an end to fighting.
Then will come the call upon this coun-
try for food. If We have abundance,
the call will be answered, with no dis
tress on our part. If we have short
age or il we have only sufficient for
our own necessities, the response to the
foreign demand will be made at the ex-
pensc of our own people. We must
have no shortage.
We must plant corn, using corn gem
orally for foodstuffs. Our farm poss-
bllities have by no means been exhaust
ed. Tho United States has LA, ,s0oO 900
acres of land suitable for titled crops
and S6l,570000 acres suitable for nom
titled crops We arc tilling only Si2,-
100000 acres, something more than one
fourth OF the possibilities and little OF
our titled area Is producing mp to it's
potcntialities. The present emergency
is the opportunity for return in this
country from town to country. Fore
handed farmers arc to be the busiest
class of producers In this country during
tho next two or three years. Let all |
possible attention, North. South a<f |
West be centred upon producing food |
stuffs.

WAR TALK TABOO IN SCHOOLS
New York orders Maintenance Of
Neutrality Rule.

NEW YORK, Sept. iS.-Reference to
the European war will be taboo in the
public schools Of Greater New York.
Teachers have been ordered to avoid
any reference to the conflict that would
be likely to stir passion or resentment
in the minds of pupils or their parents.
THE event is too big for controversy
now, and the schools should reflect the
feeling of the whole republic, that of pity
and profound sorrow" says the order.

TOBACCO SALES IN
VARIOUS MARKETS
Season for Lest Selling Drawing
to Close-Out-of- Town
Markets.

The leaf tobacco selling season is
rapidly ewing to close. aud the
reports from all the markets of Nir-
rinia and North Carolina show rather
small receipts OF the weed for the pas;
week. 1t Is true that unfavorablc
weather conditions have cut down the
deliveries to some extent, but all of the
tobacco dealers realize, that the small
receipts are due in the main to the
TACT that there is very little more of
the raw lear TO he delivered.
The deliveries on the Richmond mar
ket fell down to a fraction less than
100000 pounds. The sun-curcd goods
that came to market were not in the
best OF order and for the most part
consisted OF the odds and ends Of the
crop of last year. Nevertheless there
showed up here and there few piles
of really good stock. and the BUYERS
did not overlook them The market
Was as firm as it has been at any time
during the season, and some very good
sales were made. The warchouscmen
look for somewhat better receipts this
week. rs all of the weather indica-

New York Mayor Escapes, But
Counsel Polk is Wounded.
ATTACK NEAR CITY HALL.
Bullet Entering PoIk's Jaw Passes So
Close To Mayor That His Face
Is Scorched-Assaiiant
Michael Mahoney.

New York.-In attempting to take
the life of John Purroy Mitchell,
Michael P Mahoney, an apparently ir-
responsible elderly man, who later said
he was blacksmith out of work, fired
into a group of three men seated In
the Mayors automobile, which stood
at the east side of City Hall Park.
The bullet from his revolver entered
the jaw of Corporation Counsel Frank
L. Polk, who was sitting next to the
Mayor in the tonneau of the automo-
bile, and with blood squirting from his
mouth Mr.. Polk was taken into an
ante-chamber in the City Hall and af-
terward to the New York Hospital,
where it was said that the wound
would not prove fatal.
Mahoney shot the Mayor. he declar-
ed in the course of disjointed state
ment extracted from him, because he
felt aggrieved at the city executives
"extravagant expenditures" and be-
cause he was incensed at being turned
back from the door of the Mayors
room in the City Hall on two occa'
sions when he came to apply for a
municipal job.
Mahoney fired only one shot at the
Mayor and his party. Before he could
fire second he was overcome by De-
tective George Neun, who, in the capa'
city of chauffeur, was adjusting robes
about the men in the automobile, and
the revolver was wrenched out of Ma
honeys hand.
The Mayor sat in the middle OF the
back seat, with Mr.. Polk on his right
and George v. Mullan, the Mayors
former law partner, on his left. The
bullet passed so close to Mayor
Mitchell that the left side of his face
was scorched.

QUEEN ELEANORA

HUNDRED YEARS OF PEACE
Close To One Million Dollars Will
Be Spent In Commemorating

Event.

New York.-An invitation to Queen
Eleanora of Bulgaria to attend a din
ner in her honor on her arrival in New
York was cabled on April IS to the
Prime Minister of Bulgaria by the
American Peace Centenary Committee.
The Queens acknowledgment, dated
Sofia, Bulgaria, April IA, was made
known.
DR.. VASTLY Radoslavoff, the Prime
Minister, answered that the Queen was
much touched by the kind invitation
and would cable her decision later.
The subcommittee met here to go
over the contracts for many of the
memorials to be dedicated with the
opening next year of the celebration OF
the hundred years of peace between
English-speaking nations.
Memorials costing total of 81 ,000-
600 were tentatively approved by the
committee. The organizations finance
committee must yet ratify the appro-
priation and conditional contracts
made
Ignorance of foreign countries causes
writing which engenders friction, while
foreign travel for newspaper men
would promote peace, in the opinion
of the committee. To writers of poems,
hymns and essays extolling peace and
the centenary celebration, $4,000 in
prizes will be distributed. A gift of
$4,000 was voted to the city of Client,
Belgium, where the treaty of 1915 was
signed.
The Washington homestead in Eng
land, Sulgrave Manor, will have its
name changed to Washington Manor,
and an institute is to be established
there to further peace, through lectures
of representatives of foreign coun-
tries. At all capitals, beginning with
Berlin, monument typifying Amer
ics's message of peace to the nations
of the world will be erected at cost
not yet specified. Money will also be
disbursed to churches and schools
taking part in the peace celebration.
