look for supplies of the raw material
the coming season. The prospects for
a sufficient acreage to cover orders
already in hand are said to be
doubtful. as after three succeeding
years of poor crops Maine farmers,
as a rule, are inclined TO cut out corn
and so into crops that promise better
returns, preferably potatoes. How
ever, on the opening TO spring will
depend a good deal. If the season is
early a good many viii turn hack to

crop for this vicinity, and especially
in view of the fact that sport corn of
all descriptions is going steadily into
consumption, principally on small or

who have withheld orders, expecting
the usual slump in prices, after the
opening are now trying to cover their
requirements, and some who have al
ready bought seek to increase quanti-

Editorial Comment.
Big Day Tor the Editor.

The editor of a Kansas paper says
that he picked up a Winchester rifle
recently and started up the street to
deliver the weapon to its owner. The
delinquent subscribers got it into their
heads that he was on the war path,
and every one he net insisted on pay
ing all they owed. One man wiped
out a debt of ten years standing. On
returning to the office he found load
of hay, fifteen bushels of corn, ten
bushels of potatoes. a load of wood
and barrel of turnips.

asks housekeeper.
Here is one way: take the can Of low

ingredient clause upon the back label. The
law requires that if the powder contains alum
that fact must be there stated. If you find
one Of the ingredients named alum. or sui
phate Of aluminium. you have found an alum

There is another and better way. You
don't have to know the names of the alum

powder beyond question.

Cotton Acreage
Reduction Day
COUNTY ASSOCIATIONS OF FARM.
ERS WILL BE ORGANIZED
PLEDGED TO FOOD CROPS.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. S.-The committee
appointed Monday by the Southeastern
Food Crop Conference to carry out
the plans adopted by the conference
is rushing. the work to put into effect,
in each of the cotton states, the in
tensely practical plans for cutting
cotton acreage, substituting food crops
and arranging for cash markets for
the new porducts.
Z. j. Haden, chairman of this com.
mittee, and president of the Georgia
chamber of commerce, said today:
The people of all the cotton-grow-
ing states will be urged to assemble
at 10 a. M, Saturday, October II, at
the county seats, or the most con.
venient meeting points in each county,
and take action to have special ses-
sions of the state legislatures called
at once to reduce cotton acreage fol
next year to one-half that planted in
1914. Also, these mass meetings are
expected to prepare a second line of
defense by organizing county associa-
tions of farmers, Incorporated by law,
according to the Lee County Plan"
which has been approved in Georgia,
so that the mutual contracts between
farmers will be on the same business
like and legal basis as agreements be.
tween stockholders in other corpora
tions, and in the same degree enforce
able in law.
with these associations formed,
the efforts of farmers to reduce cot
ton acreage will be on a sound bust
ness basis, the lack of which has
caused the failure of all mutual agree
ments in the past. The first efforts
will be to secure the enactment ol
laws reducing the cotton acreage, but
if the laws do not pass, this second
line of defense will prove effective.
"These assemblages in every coun
ty in the cotton states will pass reso
lutions putting the people squarely
behind the governors of the states
in calling special sessions of the leg
islatures, and upholding them bott
in the passing of the necessary legis
lation and in the enforcement of i
afterward.
MANY able lawyers say that sucl
action Of the states will be perfectly

ALLEGED THAT KAISER REMOVED
Won MoLTkE FOR REFUSING
ZEPPELIN RAID ON ENGLAND.
GENERAL Won V0IGHTS-RHETZ
LITTLE KNOWN AS WARRIOR
Son of Famous German Soldier-Break
Between Kaiser and Won MoItke At
tributed to Interference Of Emperor,
Not to Bad Judgment Of Commander.

London, Oct. S.-Reports, first circu-
lated yesterday, persist that Lieuten-
ant General Count Helmuth Won Molt-
Ike has been suspended as German
Chief of Staff by General Won Voights-
Rhetz.
1t Is said the Kaiser removed Won
Moltke because the latter declined to
order an aeroplane raid on England,
insisting that all Zeppelins were need
ed in the theatres of active warfare.
Won Moltke is a nephew of the
great strategist of that name who en-
gineered the Franco-Prussian war of
1870 and died in 1891. On January /,
1906, Won Moltke assumed the office
of Chief of the General Staff in sue,
cession Of Count Schlieffen. 1t was
common knowledge at the time that
Won Moltke did not consider himself
qualified for SO high an honor, and
strove to avoid it, even declining the
Office on two occasions.
General Voigth-Rhetz, who succeeds
Won Moltke, is not so we'll known. His
father was a great soldier, who was
born in 1909 and rose to high rank ir
the Ministry of War. He commanded
a division in 1870 and afterwards was
appointed Governor General of Han
over. He died in 1877 and had an in
fantry regiment named after him.
The military expert of the STANDARD
, says: .rsu--.-
There must be something very
gravely wrong indeed If the German:
find 1t necessary to get rid of the mar
, who originated and directed the whole
of the strategy of their campaigns
and that at vitality critical moment
"At the same time one can under
stand that dissatisfaction is felt II
high quarters with Won Moltke's work
which has often been of a kind calcu
lated to make his uncle Of famous
memory turn in his grave, but ther
we do not know how many of the mis-
takes were due to Won Moltke's bat
judgment and how many to interfer
ence with his work by the Emperor o.
his camarilla.

Kills Sleeping Lad
CARBON MoNoxIDE IN FoREcAs.
TIE OF NEPTUNE CAUSES
DEATH OF BUGLER.

New Orleans, Oct. S.-As he slept
in his bunk in the forward hold of
the United Fruit steamer Cartago
Wednesday morning, Willie Byrnes, 10,
ships bugler, was asphyxiated by the
deadly carbon monoxide gas that was
being used to fumigate the boat, pre-
paratory to its departure for Havana
Byrnes was found lifeless in his bed,
fifteen minutes after the gas had been
turned into the Cartago by the fumi-
CATION boat Neptune. No one knew
that he was on the ship.
He was rushed to the deck and a
pulmotor brought from the Charity
Hospital. For five hours doctors
pumped oxygen into Byrnes' lifeless
body. 1t was hoped that life could be
restored. Three tanks of oxygen were
forced into his lungs. But the gas is
deadly poison and the combined ef-
forts of the ships doctors and sur.
geons of the United States Public
Health Service to bring back life were
fruitless.
At / o'clock hope of resuscitatins
Byrnes was given up. The body was
rigid and life extinct.
