nondent Describes lnva-
sion by Germans.
$4,000?
Tells of Duel Between Aviators,
Who Lose Control of
Their Machines.

London, Sept. IA correspondent
of the Associated Press, who has been
through Belgium, sends message
from Rotterdam which is heavily cen
sored, but appears to have been an
account of the invasion of Belgium OBJ
tanned from the German point of view.
The message says:
From Brussels the German army
poured over southern Belgium INTO
France like a fioodtide, joining in the
south of Belgium with other army
corps. They crossed the French bor-
der without serious resistance, the
French scattering before them in great
disorder leaving behind much war ma
terial. Several rear guard actions oc-
Cured. resulting in considerable losses
on both sides, bringing up the losses
of the Germans in Belgium to $4,000.
Innumerable skirmishes occurred IN
the direction of Maubeuge from Aug.
% to 20, and at Bray, just west of
Binche
Sweep Through Beaumont.
"The French and English were re-
pulsed in engagements in the vicinity
of Buissierre and IIuin, which con-
stituted most determined resistance
bv the allies. After two days con-
tinous artillery duel, which swept the
surrounding country and demolished
almost every structure, the entire
right wing of the allies was withdrawn
far southwark. This gave the Ger
mans opportunity to sweep through
Beaumont and approach Maubeuge
from the south Meanwhile other corps
had approached Maubeuge from the
north. entirely investing the fortress.
The English and French Aug. % were
driven across the Sambre river, where
on the south bank along 30-mile front
fighting continued three days. The cor
respondent first saw actual firing in
the direction of Maubeuge Aug. &c, but
when he reached the scene of a re-
cent engagement the firing lines had
advanced 10 miles southwest.
French Neglect Wounded.
The German wounded were immedi-
ately cared for and the dead buried.
while the French dead We're left un-
buried. and the wounded in some cases
remained on the battlefield three days

they should be interested in buying cotton at the lowest hgures' ou'
the South should learn this lesson from such transactions: "A law
should be enacted that would allow no man who dealt in futures to,
buy spot cotton either directly or indirectly, The FuTuRE DEALER
IS A DEADLY FOE TO THE COTTON FARMER.
If il be Ut that the farmers of the state have made up their
minds that there shonld be practically no cotton raised in I9I5-a
thing W e very much doubt-then they can manifest this determine
in some positive way. They have the right exercise of their
minds and it is presumed that they can do what they want with their
own lands and with their own labor without the expense OF legisla-
tive enactment. We are persuaded that the great body of the men
who make cotton have not yet determined what they want to do.
Those who ire breaking into print so much about the necessity OF
MAKING THE COTTON FARMER QUIT are patriots whose zeal far out
weighs their Judgment and sanity, or are shelf-worn politicians VINO
are glad to peddle out their advice at any time at a big discount,
but usually the purchasers OF such advice are III losers rega'oieSS y
what they give for it.
MANY lawyers say that a law prohibiting the raising OF cotton IN
1915 would be constitutional, other lawyers OF equal standing say
that such a statute would not be worth the paper upon which it was
and could not be enforced. We do not know, but we are in
clined to accept the latter view. Lawyers differ about almost any
thing, even about the Ten Commandments, but the Governor. who
is himself a big cotton raiser and should be interested in getting the
yerv best price for cotton, says such a law would be unconsttution-
al and he is sworn to view all such matters in the light of his con-
science and best judgment.
1t is urged that a prohibitive cotton raising statute could be en-
forced as a means of destroying the boil weevil but the best of au-
thoriues say that this would not eliminate the pest. Clemson A. &
NJ College of South Carolina has issued a statement that the weevil
would not be exterminated by non-cotton raising. Thus it is that we
are right back to where W started. The plain truth is that every
farmer a S we'll as every other business man must paddle MS own
canoe, using of course the experience and observation which have
come down to him thru the years that are past. The old fable abou,
the farmer who depended upon his kinfolks, then his neighbors and
friends to gather his corn, which he finally had to gather himself
needs to be learned over by the whole country. DO not depend or
the government to manage your finances or to do that tor you whicf
YOU IA do for yourself. Let us all learn to spend less and to owe
less and we will be inclined to whine less.

MUST PADDLE HIS OWN CANOE.

AS we understand, it is a generally accepted idea that the main
- of the great depression in the price of cotton is because a
mos, all the channels of commerce are damned up a S a result of the
Eu,opean war and not because of a big cotton crop; if this be a cor
rect theory, then we can hardly see that legislation in the csttcn
st,,es limiting or prohibiting production for 1915 would effect the
cr;ce of what is now practically ready for market. If. on the other
hand a big crop is the main factor in forcing the price down tc
49,. II ;s we are unable to understand, in view of the difficulty Of
borrowing money at the present time for any purpose, even where
,bsre is no speculative feature-and there is no controversy about
,be fact that the buying of cotton is precarlous speculation at any
fin, how legislation could have much bearing on present prices.
# is argued that legislation limiting production would inspire
confidence and thereby boost prices. Yes, legislation against an
overflow of the Mississippi river next year might boost land values
and beoet optimism among a goodly number in a certain belt, ano
.o,,d he inst about as reasonable, but would the legislation prevent
the river from overlooking?
If it be true-and we believe it is - that the big cottor
s,us of the country have sold hundreds of thousands of bale:
IF cotton ahead at last summers prices, it is but natural tina

The Claron-Ledger issued a great big paper last week. 1t was
a boost for Jackson and the Fair and indeed a very crednable paper.
1t reflected we'll on the whole management from the Editor down.
The acknowledged takes no second place. The Daily News also
came out with a fine paper-a big one too; but not Sc large a S the
edition of its neighbor. Both papers contained a very great deal of
excellent matter and show that the business Interests and Enterprises
of Jackson believe in newspaper space. But seriously, such large
papers re too large to be read. Everybody scans them but reads
very little indeed as compared with what they contain. The truth
is the Sunday editions of the great city daiies are too large to be
read. For our part we would prefer an ad in a paper not so large
l: is a sort of habit of our people to overdo even good things.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1914-10-30

Our court machinery is too complex; it was made by lawyers and
thew are the benehciaries of its complexity, while the public "pavs
the freight" Now we do not mean this as any indictment of law.
vers-they are just men like all the balance of us and it is but in
keeping with the instincts of human nature for them to look well
after their profession.
We repea, that this proposed amendment seeks to begin at the
wrong end to give quicker and better results in litigation. If civil
lawsuits above. referred and misdemeanor cases, except where the
facts and circumstances are unusual or extraordinary, a matter which
can be trusted to the discretion of the presiding judge, are denied an
appeal to the Supreme Court then we dare say that the cases carried
up to that tribunal would be decreased fully fifty per cent thereby
giving the courts a S at present constituted abundant time to handle
all other appealed cases.
The increase of the court as proposed would add in salaries and
stenographers tees and other items fully SI5ooooo to what is now
collected from the taxpayers of the state and in our judgment
should b. defeated.

If Grenada were not made up of the hest people in the world,
she might be inclined to be vain over the profuse compliments
showered upon her by every one who visits the town, and especially
are former residents lavish in their praise of the great improvements
made here within the past few years. The general excellence of the
streets and sidewalks, the cleanliness of the streets, the care of the
lawns and the beauty of the surroundings as a whole never fail to
make a most favorable and lasting impression upon every visitor
Grenada isl all she appears to be and even more. There is no better
place to live where one can enjoy all the richness of our Southern
climate and at the same time be among a God-fearing citizenship.

TO SEE PANAMA CANAL
Thrilling Incidents, Camera Caught, to
be Seen in Salem.

Perhaps you have heard the rumb,
ling of distant explosions, the thunder
of a giant blast Of dynamite that
shakes the earth for miles around
These are thrilling enough for most
people, but not for the camera man
who made Lyman H. Howe s reproduc.
tion of the Panama canal.
At the time of the biggest dynamite
operations in "Culebra cut one of the
photographers veutured close enough to
the explosions to make a series of re-
markable moving pictures of them.
"He's crazy about Colonel Goeth-
ais fireworks" declared one of the
canal workers. That Is what they call
all of the dynamite activity in the
"big ditch" zone.
During one of the "big shoots" " the
picture taking apparatus was near
enough to be visably affected by the
great shock. When the blast was fired
the camera rocked with the earth and
most sensational effect was the re-
suit The film developed so that the
spectator easily imagines he feels the
actual quiver of the earth.
The rapid succession of this and 9th
er thrills with the intense interest il
the subject itself is making Lyman H
Howe's presentation of the Panama ca
nal, which comes to the Grand opert
house on Wednesday, June II, quite tn,
film wonder of the age.

KING LEAR" TO BE
STAGED AT OREGON
shakespeare's Great Tragedy VIII Be
Given On Kincaid Field June 15-
Peer Gynt' Last Year.

Commencement visitors, hundreds of
whom come annually from all over Ore
gon, will see at the University of Ore
gon this year a production that has
been attempted hitherto by no American
university: "King Lear" is to be put
on at 7;l5 o. o'clock, Monday, June 10.
This play, which only ten great actors
have attempted in the English speaking
world in the last century, is perhaps
the heaviest Shakespearean tragedy.
The University of Oregon Drama Guild
was emboldened to essay it by the sue
cess of "Peer Gynt" at the 1918 COM
mencement. Put on before $500 per-
sons in natural woods among the hills
back of Eugene, "Peer Gynt' paved
the way for the still harder feat of
clear" in 1914. These commencement
plays are open to the public and weeks
are spent in preparation, eostume-mak-
ing and rehearsals.
The period of "King Lear" is
Britain, about 400 B. C. The presence
of Professor Archibald F. .Reddie in the
University makes the production pos
sible, since he can play Lear the
mad king. Last year Professor Reddie
was "Peer Gynt.'
Students who will have the principal
parts are as follows:
Max Regard, Marshfield; Janet
Young, The Dalles; Edison Marshall,
Medford; Earl c. Bronaugh, Milwaukee;
Carl Naylor, Las Caseadas, Canal Zone /;
Mackinley Helm, Lewiston, Idaho
Clarence Brotherton Waitsburg, Wash
ington; Miss Norma Dobie, Madison,
Wis; Miss Ellice Shearer, Mandell
Weiss, Clarence Ash and George Cotton,
Portland; Henry Howe, Harold Turner
and Elmer Furuset, Eugene.
The play will be ON Kincaid field,
where there will be accommodations for
5000 spectators.
The fast expanding work in dramatics
at the University is now to be carried
over the state under auspices of the
Extension division, through organiza-
tion of dramatic clubs in town or
country, and assistance in putting on
plays that will aid the community social
life and community study.
