SOUTHERN OFFICIALS
CUT their SALARIES
President Harrison Reduces His Com.
pensation 20 Per Cent and Others
Will Be Affected.
MUTUAL SACRIFICES ARE MADE

In view of the curtailment of service
made necessary by the current depres-
sion OF business and the consequent re-
duction of the opportunity of many hun
dreds of employees to earn the wages to
which they have been accustomed, Presl-
dent Fairfax Harrison. of the Southern
Railway Company has deemed it
only fair that the officers of the COM
pany should also share the sacrifice
He accordingly has reduced his own
salary 70 per cent and has asked all
the other officers receiving salaries in
excess Of $500 per annum to accept tenn
porary reductions IN a descending scale
proportioned to the amount of their
salaries, so as to distribute the personal
sacrifice equitably. Under the plan
adopted the pay Of those receiving
salaries of as much as S2,7OO will be re-
duced per cent. The officers affected
have all accepted the situation with loyal
appreciation OF the necessity in a spirit
of mutual sacrifice While the actual
saving to the company on this account is
relatively small, the principal of COM
mon interest Of all those who draw their
livelihood from Southern Railway Com
pany has been the controlling motive.
The board Of directors last week reduced
the dividend of the preferred stock
holders, many OF whom are women de-
pendent upon this income, from 5 to 4l-2
per cent, although it was fully earned
before the present tendency of business
was apparent, and has declared it payable
not in cash but in deferred scrip: so that
all interests in the property may par
ticipate in the retrenchment.

CROP OUTLOOK ABROAD
BODIES WELL FOR j. S.
Standing Grain Ruined and Much
Wasted by Calling of Europes
Men to War.
JAPAN NEEDS OUR EXPORTS

Chicago. Oct. 11.-According to cable
advices from the grain growing countries
Of the Old World the foreign crop out
look Is for greatly reduced area The
news in general on the crop prospects
abroad is Of a pessimistic character, in
dicating there are many and pronounced
stumbling blocks which farmers who
want to seed grain must encounter.
A great deal Of standing grain has been
ruined and there is marked interference
with the preparation of seeding because
Of the scarcity Of men as we'll as animals.
These conditions mean there will be a
continued demand from abroad for our
breadstuffs and that. with the grain al
ready purchased out of the way, there
will be renewed buying power for our
cash wheat
The most recent advices from England
say the British government is offering a
In Germany the falling on in the acre
age will be more pronounced than in any
other country.
Considerable wheat has been seeded
in France this fall. but this seeding has
been accomplished under great difflcul-
ties and the total area will likely show a
big reduction as compared with previous
years.
In Canada more blowing has been done
this fall than ever before and the amount
of ground to be seeded to wheat next
spring will. it is said. surpass all pre-
vious growths.
The wheat yield Of japan is estimated
at 26,0oo, 900 bushels this year and barley
at $4,000 bushels, which shows that
large importations of breadstuffs must be
made into that country.
It is expected that the movement Of
wheat out OF the hands of farmers in
both great belts will show a falling on
from this time forward, as the farmers
are impressed with the idea that the war
is to be long-drawn out, which will mean
that big purchases OF grain must be made
in the United States and Canada to feed
their citizens as well as their soldiers.

boards To register voters whose name :
are not found upon the books so that
they may vote at subsequent elections
At almost every election, number Of
qualified electors lose their votes
through failure 10 register and as tho
election boards at present have no
power Ia register. the voter cannot be
assisted in preparing for subsequent
elections. He therefore has his visit TO
the polls for nothing
