SPLENDID WORK
OF ASSOCIATION
MANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE AT
WOODROW SCHOOL BY PAR.
ENT-TEACHERS.

Most encouraging and creditable
is the report of the tarent-TeacherS
Association of the Woodrow School
near Williamsport for the past year
Starting on oNv. 5, 1913, the assoc'
alton had, with only twenty members
made a number of very substantial
improvements and provided many
very necessary conveniences for the
school and the children.
First of all, they had the floors Of
the building ceiled at an expense Oh
S12.25, after which driveway OF
ebert to the school was built for 50,
most of the labor being furnished by
the patrons. Then $50 was spent for
lamps with which to light the build
ing at nigth when entertainments
were given. To raise the money lot
all these improvements, an enter
tainment was given ThanhssI'ln5
from which over $50 was realized
The next improvement made was
the installation of a nice new piano
very considerable expense. To pay
for it, Miss Choate, the accommodate
ing teacher of expression, gave '"0
public recitals from which SO Was
realized. At the close Of the SchooA
at which she again gave a reclla''
over $50 was made. In return III
her untiring efforts, the associate"
appropriated $50 for her to buy
ticket to her home in Oklahoma "
see her mother during the vacation
After the payment of this ana 90
upon the piano, balance Tor Tue
year of about SIS was left
The Association has reor7anl1eu
this fall, and is going to make 81"
other improvements and pro'Iue
other conveniences of both the tea'H
ers and the pupils.

We have similar pieces in our own
cost-defense Notifications.
at has for years been an open Sc
cret that the Germans were spending
considerable sums of money on per-
fecting their heavy artillery, just as
we have known that the French were
devoting their energies to perfecting
their mobile field artillery. Doubt
less the Germans were influenced to
some extent, at any rate by the
knowledge that in fighting France
they would have to reckon upon over
coming the numerous powerful for
tresses which the French have scat
tered over the northern and north
eastern sections Of France.
Bearing in mind the fact that the
roads in western Europe are excel
lent, it is not hard to believe that the
Germans have evolved a very heavy
siege-gun which can be transported
by motor, thus making it infinitely
more mobile than if it required to be
hauled by horses.
las to the value of such guns for
use against Notifications there can be
no doubt. Most Notifications are
built to resist a horizontal fire. These
guns deliver huge shells at an angle
of forty-fve degrees, falling practical
ly straight down out. Of the sky.
Once such guns have found the range
of a fortified place, it must be prac.
tically untenable. Their shells would
probably contain thirty pounds of
some high explosive and bursting in
the narrow area of forts or gunpits,
they would have most destructive eff
feCts. 1t will be einteresting to see
how the theories of ordinance worked
out in advance by Frenchmen and
Germans develop in actual practice"

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Dispatches
from the European war, telling of the
great 15-inch seige guns of the Ger
mans, which are capable of battering
down the sturdiest Notifications and
yet may be transported with great
swiftness on motor trucks, are at
tracing the attention of American
military men.
Photographs at Liege and Namur
after the Germans demolished their
forts show the terrible execution of
the German guns, which fire their ex-
plosive shells upward at sharp an
gle and crumble the enemy's fortltl-
cations by vertical plunging fire.
One retired ordinance officer who
was questioned today said that, bear
ing in mind the superior roads of
wescern Europe and the reports that
the Germans had been spending much
money for years in developing their
heavy artillery, it was easily conceiv-
able that they had perfected expedi-
tious means of transporting their
heaviest pieces.
"Of course" he said, none Of US
know anything at first hand. All that
we do know we learn from the news
papers If the Germans have such
pieces. 1t is safe to say that they
are not showing them to military OBJ
servers of other nations; and on the
other hand, / think it is equally safe
TO say that there is nothing startling
1y new about these big guns. They
are probably much the same as the

Japanese brought over to Port Ar

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 1S.-In the
presence of an immense and very en-
thusiastic audience here last night
'Gov. Hooper formally launched his
campaign for thira term as chief
executive of the state. His speech
was caustic arrangement of the
democratic party, it's platform and its
candidate. He devoted large por-
ton of the first part of his speech to
vitriolic and bitter attack upon Sen
ator Luke Lea, in which he rehearsed
many of the charges that have been
threshed out by the Nashville Ban
net.
Gov Hooper declared that fusion
should still continue in Tennessee;
! that it had many accomplishment to
its credit, enumerating a long list of
achievements. He defended the re-
cord that his administration had made
in prison reform, compared the par
tdons granted by him with those is
sued by his predecessor; took up in
detail and answered them the attacks
made upon funding the state debt,
declaring that a much better sale of
the states notes could have been
made had it not been for the action
OF John |. Cox and other regulars
who were more interested in the en-
barrassment of his administration
than they were in saving the credit
of Tennessee.
Gov. Hooper denied that the liquor
question had been settled, he said
that the democratic party could not
be trusted. He was severe in his ar
raignment of Gen. Rye, and viciously
attacked his record as attorney gen.
eral declaring that he had not en-
forced the liquor laws, but had been
in sympathy with the bootlegging
clan. He also went after the politi-
cal record of the democratic stand
ard bearer without gloves
The chief executive paid his re-
spects to Mayor Crump and declared
that an effort would be made in Mem
phis to rob him of his election. With
a great deal of emphasis he denied
that this could be done, but said no
majority of more than 1000 could be
legitimately returned in Shelby coun-
ty against him. The governor de-
MED that the democratic platform
committed the party to temperance,
but said it was dodge and straddle.
The governor held the closest at
tention of his audience from the be-
ginning to the end. He was at his
best and spoke with much emphasis.

SOME OF THE BENEFITS DERIV-

THE SEASON.

AS the Columbia team has dsband-
ed for the year and there will be no
more baseball this season. the back
ers of the team are making an effort
to straighten up all accounts and to
collect from those who pledged mon
ey during the season to support the

The team has been a great adver-
tisement for the city this year. 1t
has brought people to town who
would never have come had it not
been to see a game, and these peo-
pie spent money with the merchants
which they would have kept at home
or spent elsewhere.
In another way it has been a
source of benefit to the town. 1t has
kept some money here that would
have gone to Nashville to see games.
There are some fans who must see
a baseball game each week during
the season. To go to Nashville it
costs from s. to SO per game when
all expenses are footed up.
So the team has been of real ben
eft to the city. 1t has brought some

Plant More Corn

To the Editor of The Age Herald: So much Is being said about the. low price -of cotton, please allow mo 10 make suggestion about the crop of 1915.
 Let the supply merchants insist en their customers planting sufficient grain crops to feed their stock .and to have a surplus
 By doing this the merchants can force the acreage down to some ex- tent.
 Let the large planters insist on their renters planting so many acres In corn that have heretofore been planted in cotton.
 The world will need corn equally as bad in 1916 as 1t will during 1915. and 1t has been proven beyond doubt that Alabama can produce corn as cheap as the western states
 Cotton has only begun to be picked on Sand mountain. and consequently there has been no arrangements made for taking care of the crop.
 Let the farmers of the south cut down the cotton acreage and plant more corn. Or else they will have to face low price cotton for years to come.

Trading in Cotton

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 I read with much interest MT. Will Ham P. Redds communication copied from the New York Journal of Com merce.
 MT. Redd is very much mistaken as to the need of the opening of the New York cotton exchange for the purpose of making Il market for real cotton. If Congress would make haste to bell the cat" of the cotton gamblers while he is in moratorium--closed to adjust gambling bets would provide that upon all contracts for the future de livery of cotton there shall be speci- field on average of gradt. or one or more grades of spinnable cotton: would further provide that. upon sales for any given month the buyer may. upon three days notice. demand and receive spinnable cotton as per contract. then 'twere very well that both the New York and the New Orleans cotton ex- changes be permitted to do busin ess Otherwise. not. It was argued that Legislation to regulate the cotton flu ture business would upset market con ditions when they were selling "hot Blackboard" cotton--prices were sometimes ? cents a pound under real spinnable cotton in southern markets
 Today the cotton gamblers are spar ring for position on contracts sold mcnths ago On the actual market No. on straddle they call it. In Liv- erpool several thousand bales of Amer lean cotton have changed hands since the war began at 12.40 cents per pound With the federal government prepared to carry war risks cotton should bring, in this country today. at least II cents for middling. allowing for freight and insurance. But the cot ton gamblers of New York are trying to settle some Of their ''commitments'' future contracts--say, December, at afout 9x cents or less.
 Speaking of war taxes. why not tax cotton future transactions cents per bale and grain contracts cent per buEhel? That's much bettsr than tax
