THE A

Some years ago in conversation
with an officer of one of the large
insurance corporations of the coun-
try, he asked us as to the interest
rate in South Carolina. When
told that it was eight per cent. he
stated that the rate was too high
and that no country could pay this
rate of interest for borrowed money
and prosper.
We believe that he is right. A
great deal of our business is done
on borrowed money. When a man
must pay eight per cent. for the
money he borrows with which to
conduct his business, and must then
employ his time in investing this
money and making it make money
for him, he is lucky if at the end
of tie year he does not find himself
a loser.
There is no species of property in
the state which a man may buy and
make eight per cent interest out of
it, in the way of rentals, or other
nome, unless it be speculative, and
there is no reason why a man
whose property is money, should
make more than others.
We are warned that by reducing
the rate of interest, we will drive
money out Of the state. We do
not believe it. No state in the
South has prospered as much in re-
cent years as North Carolina, and
yet that state has in that time re-
duced the interest rate to six per
cent. Money must be more plenti-
full there than here, because the evil
dences of prosperity in every line
could not exist without money. We
have not seer that the high rate of
interest in this state has brought
money here, and in our judgment
there is little here to drive out, and
the people who have it are too afraid
of losing it to invest it elsewhere.
But if they desired to do so,
where would they send it and fare
better? Certainly not to North
Carolina, becaue of its lower rate.
They will not send it to Georgia for
the reason that a half dozen law
yers just across the river r adj
vertising money to loan on Georgia
lands at seven per cent. Therefore
the money will be invested here
whether the rate be eight OF six per
cent.
We believe that with a reduction
of the rate of interest from eight
to six per cent people who have
money would be more disposed to in
vest in industrial and other enter
prises to which they would give
their own time and labor rather
than in loaning money on long time,
on real and personal securities, and
then sitting down and waiting for
pay day and that the money would
thus be employed where the indi-
rect benefits to the people at large
and to the State would be greater.
At any rate we should not discount
our people, and their willingness
and ability to pay, nor the security
furnished by our lands, by offering
to pay more wages for money than
any other commonwealth in u
neighborhood is willing to pay.
The rate of interest should be
lowered to six per cent, with strin-
gent provisions to prevent usurious
contracts.

Miss Ethel Knemeyer. Alfred Sides

car after travelling eight days over
land. They will visit a few weeks
with Mr.. and Mrs. Whaley and Miss
Myrtle Whaley. Miss Knemeyer ex-
poets to stay about two months. The
party experienced many interesting
events during their trip and saw q
great scope Of country. Their most
thrilling experience occurred while
descending the Blue mountains south
east OF Walla Walla. The descent was
SO steep that the brakes of their car
refused TO hold. A tree was feIled
and tied to the rear axle OF the car.
Mr.. Sides steared the car down the In
cline while Albert rode the tree. About
a hundred feet from the bottom the car
broke loose from the tree and broke
all speed records until the level road
at the bottom was reached. They
experienced no severe difficulty with
roads until after they left Rupert. Be-
tween American Falls and Rupert.
they said, the roads were almost im-
passabls.

SEQUEL TO A FALSE ALARM
Mock Trial of Alleged Perpetrators OF
False Fire Alarm.

Last Thursday night a false fire
alarm was turned in that sorely vexed
the members of the fire department.
A little investigation was conducted
which cast suspicion upon two OF the
four mentioned below, and 1t was be-
lieved that II two of them were mixed
up in the matter the others had at
least guilty knowledge, so it was de-
cided to try all of them. Plans were
made Friday and care taken to see
that the boys occupied front seat at
the Auditorium, where they would be
in the "limelight" when arrested. AT
the proper time Deputy Sheriff Barn
hart appeared with a dummy warrant
and marched the boys out in front OF
several hundred people. From ac-
counts given of the trial by spectators
the impression is gained that Scoop"
Torrance has not given very vivid
picture. So we'll conducted was the
trial that the boys thought they were
up against it, and three of the jurors
who were not put wise before entering
the Jury room, were In dead earnest
I'm favor of returning verdict OF
guilty. Attorneys Baum and Griswold
fought the case as hard as if it were
real, and the prisoners at bar" never
tumbled until the verdict was read
Some of them endeavored to borrow
money, it is said, while the jury was
out, to pay their fines to keep from go
ing to Jail for the night. witnesses
relied upon by the defendants to prove
their innocence gave testimony which
made conviction sure. The boys stout
ly deny that they had any part in turn
ing in the alarm, but they could not
meet the mass OF skillfully arranged
testimony presented against them.
Kirby has made about as good a show
ing for the defendants as the evidence
would warrant, and has shown him
self to be good sport by carrying
out the sentence imposed upon him in
a reasonably satisfactory manner. His
account follows:

SHOULD HAVE EXHIBIT
AT DRY FARM CONGRESS-.
From Exhibits at Power County Fair
Splendid Exhibit Can be Made.

The International Soil Products Ex-
position and the International Dry
Farming Congress-, which will be held
at Denver, Colo, from September 9th
to October 9th, comes at an opportune
time to permit the making OF good
exhibit of Power County products.
From the exhibits gathered for our
fair splendid exhibit can be made at
no expense. Manager Earring already
has an ample collection of sheaf grains
and grasses and is gathering threshed
grains for a splendid exhibit. Owing
to the fact that last years fair was
permitted to degenerate into almost
pure sports program this county
failed to have an exhibit at the Pana-
ma-Pacific exposition, even though the
largest and best crop in our history
was harvested. AS n result the best
wheat growing county in the state has
scant representation at the best ex-
position In the worlds history. Under
the splendid leadership of President
Frank Kluck the fair this year Will
be a real exhibit of the county's pro-
ducts, with abundant sports thrown In
From the exhibits gathered 1t will be
possible to redeem ourselves at Den
yer, even though we have lost out, and
will gain little benefit from the great
or fair at San Francisco. Power Coun'
ty should have a good exhibit at the
Dry Farmers congress.

Innocent, But Not Proven.
(By Kirby Torrance.)


Frank O'Keefe, Harold Albers, Fred
Hoefel and Kirby Torrance were ar
rested Friday night while attending
the vaudeville performance at the
Auditorium, tried before Judge A. c.
Haag in the court chamber over the
court house, in mock trial, for turn
ing false fire alarm about one o'clock
Friday morning and found guilty by
the jury after it had impartially
weighed the evidence presented by the
plaintiff, Attorney o. r. Baum, for
the Village of American Falls.
Though the trial was mockery. 1t
was so grim and real in aspect that
the defendants, except me, are unde-
cided whether to take 1t as joke or a
case of slander.
Foster Lamm, budding attorney
in Lawyer Baum's office was also a
party to the injustice claimed and is
accused of writing the verdict. Tom
Oliver was the principal tool of the
prosecution and was SO romantic that
much of his testimony was thown out
in the judges instructions to the jury.
The infraction for which the defend
snts were arrested was committed
about one o'clock Friday morning. A
fire alarm was turned in to the Boys
Parsonage which houses the most of
the members of the fire department,
and assistant chief, A. X. Dahlen. In
answer to the alarm which was re-
ceived from an unknown source over
the phone, the department turned out
in full force and appeared in few
minutes at the front door of the Old
Chief Cafe, which was curtained. Dan
Cronkhite was the first to get to the
supposed fire and tore open the door to
find not the reported fire, but pleas
ant midnight party progressing with
music, dancing, and refreshments
His appearance in pajamas and shoes
created considerable amusement and
he withdrew as hastily as he and en-
tered. The remainder OF the depart.
ment had arrived in the meanwhile
and an investigation was started tc
find where the alarm had originated
without results. The department re
turned home in a sore state OF MIND
and spread the story the next day
Nothing further transpired regarding
the false alarm until Friday evening
when Deputy Sheriff Barnhart en-
tered the picture show at the Auditor
ium with warrants for the arrest o
the four defendants above mentioned
The show was crowded to the door
and the position of the defendants II
the front rows made xneir position un
usually embarrassing. After sligh
argument with the officer they accom-
panied him to the court room whicl
had been prepared In advance for tn
trial. The defendants we're not &C
quainted with the charge against then
and to protect themselves asked 70
the services Of an attorney. The cour
appointed Attorney w. r. Griswolt

ton with the defendants he entere

WORLDS WHEAT ACREAGE
Increase Of Seven and Nine Per Cent
As Compared With Last
Two Years.

Preliminary estimates Of the respec-
tive areas sown to wheat for the 1915
harvest have been issued up to date by
eight countries OF the northern hemi-
sphere. according to the International
Institute of Agriculture. The total
acreage sown to the spring and winter
varieties In these countries amounts to
1853. .S25, 900 acres, compared with 143,-
652, 900 acres In 1914 and 140,0S7, 900
acres ip 1913, an increase In the cur
rent year over that of the two preced-
ing ones of about and per cent. re-
spectively. The total area annually
sown to wheat In the entire northern
hemisphere is usually estimated, as far
as official figures are available. at ap-
proximately 240,O00,000 acres.
The eight countries comprise all the
principal wheat-producing countries OF
the northern hemisphere, excepting
the Russian empire. whose spring and
winter wheat acreage during each OF
the past few years has averaged about
S0,000,000 acres. Though the complete
official figures for the present season
have not yet appeared, commercial
opinion inclines to belief in Russian
acreage not greatly below the normal.
The figures for the eight countries
for which official estimates have been
made in 1915 are shown below, In com
