o. H. Scantland, who lives near Will
liamsburg, has proved himself to be a
pretty good detective as we'll as a
breeder of fancy live stock.
Through his efforts S. p Keel OF

en- Inmate of the Wayne county Jail
facing charge of forging contracts.
Scantland tells how Keel tried to
throw him off his trail. as the Wayne
county stock man pursued him through
Randolph county, by tampering with
telephone Instruments.
Calls for Prosecution.
If could only get to Knoxville this
whole affair would be Strengthened out
F. w. Huddleston. president of the
Live Stock association would fix UP
the whole thing" Keel informed Pros
ecutor Keller, who at that time had in
his possession a telegram from Hud.
dleston instructing him to prosecute
Keel to the limit"
After rerresenting himself to be an
agent CT the Knoxville company, Keel
sold Scantlsnd advertising space in an
association directory for $3.50. Keel
filled out a bogus blank contract for
Scantland, which Keel had had printed
for his own use. Prosecutor Keller
says. As quite few of these alleged
bogus contracts have been torn out OF
the book found on Keel, it Is believed
that he has defrauded quite few live
stock men in this section Of the coun-
try. Keel at one time worked for the
Knoxville company and was very sue
cessful "Just why he went wrong
can't figure out" said P. G. Clam of
Knoxville, who has arrived in Rich
mond to represent the Live Stock as

AFTER paid Keel for advertising

picious because he insisted that make
out my check to him." Scantland In
formed Chief Goodwin. II wired to the
association and was informed that the
man had no authority to transact bust
ness for them and was asked to have
him arrested. telephoned to various

suspicious for he left at once. Ed
wards accompanied him. however. and
they went to the home Of Turner Far.

there he went at once to the telenhone
and later It was discovered that he
had put It out OF commission. I called
up Farauhar but could get no response

I held him until a Randolph county

OTTAWA, Ont. Feb 15.-Excite-
ment refgned in this city last night and
early today, following the receipt OF
a message from Brockvillc stating that
three aeroplanes had crossed the st.
Lawrence river, presumably from New
York state, and were headed this way.
The military authorities could not
occount for the presence Of the air
craft, unless they were hostile ma
chimes, bent on doing damage to gov
ernment institutions or harm to gov
ernment officials. Although strict
watch was kept, the machines were
not sighted over this city. Ottawa was

LONDON, Fob. 15.-The cargo Of
foodstuffs, intended for the German
civil population, which was seized by
Great Britain when the Wilheimlna en-
tered Falmouth harbor, will be dispos-
ed Of by prize court 1t was an
nounced In tho house Of commons to-
day.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The Ger
man government in a note to the Unit
ed States submitted to the state de-
partment today through Ambassador
Bernstorff, declared that Germany is
willing to recede from its announced
policy to attack British merchantmen
If Great Britain will cease interference
with shipments of foodstuffs destined
for the non-combatant population Of
Germany.
The German note asserted that the
war zone proclamation was a retalia-
tory measure, adopted as result OF
Great Britain's departure from rules
of international law and her purpose
to starve out Germany's civil popula-
ton.
Explains Note.
Ambasodar Bernstorff, who delivered
the note to Councillor Lansing, said
that the communication was of inter
mediary character, and was not to be
regarded as Germany's reply to the re-
cent United States note upon the war
zo.ae decree.
The German government sets forth
in its note today that Great Britain
had already armed many Of its mer-
chant vessels with guns, and was con-
tinuing to so arm them with the avow-
ed purpose Of having them proceed
through the war zone area in groups
to resist attack, and that under these
circumstances visit and search of such
vessels by German warships was not
to be expected.
1t was declared that the arming Of
merchants carried with it the pre-
sumption that Gerat Britain had aban-
doned the rule of visit and search laid
down by the laws of the nations. Ger

flags by British merchant ships. again

U. S. BENEFITS FROM WAR
Conflict Abroad Should Help Our
industries. says Statlst, and
Make Us Worlds Banker.

The war in Europe will probably
bring economic advantages to the
United States. 1t will enable it to
sell its great crops in places which
will give a much greater income
than ii there was no war.
Almost every industry will derive
more or less advantage, American
investors and bankers should get in
much profit from the ability to buy
back lcom Europe great quantities
Of securities at attractive prices in
payment for the foodstuilS and raw
material exported from the United
States,
The United States can become, as
it has this week, the worlds great
est market for capital, and if the
American people rise to their
opportunity they can do great
deal to mitigate the disastrous
economic consequences which would
otherwise result in many countries
from a great European war,
1t is obvious that for the time
being the money markets of Europe
will be closed to the demands for
new capital of Canada, Brazil,
Argentina, Mexico and other
countries, and at such time the
prestige Of the United States would
be immensely enhanced tit were to
take the place of Europe and meet
the pressing needs Of the borrowing
countries
1t is possible that the United
States may participate in the great
loans that will have to be raised in
Europe if almost the whole CON
tinent becomes engaged in war
Possibly the participation will be
indirect rather than direct.
For the United States to gain
benefit from the position as the
weoltbicst nation in the world, it is
essential that American investors
should not only have confidence in
the future of their own country, but
also believe that, war or no war,
the world will continue to progress,
la bricE great war in Europe
will give the United States an op-
portuuity Of assuming the post Of
world banker, by supplying capital
freely to countries and individuals in
all parts Of the globe who need it
and can provide the required Sc.
curity Should the American
people take advantage Of the golden
opportunity afforded them by the
outbreak of war, it will mean not
diminished bnt increased prosperity

THE United States Department OF
Agriculture, the states board and
the experts all over the country are
urging the farmers Of America to
cultivate every available acre during
the coming year. The war in
Europe assures the sale of almost
everything that can be raised,
Every article that is exported to feed
the soldiers and citizens and the
stock OF Europe means lust that
mach less for home consumption,
therefore, even with big crops OF
everything, the prices will be high.
1t is not good crop year the
iarmer will at least raise enough for
home use aud will aot have to pay
the high prices that will prevail,
Utilize every available acre for grain,
grasses aud vegetables, In many
sections farmers are urged to double
acreage oi potatoes, 1t should not
Dc necessary, under proper condi-
tons, to import potatoes INTO any
agricultural county. Put" the hens
and the turkeys to work and give
them u square deal. Raise pigs,
cattle and horses ia as large mum.

farm will justify and any losses that
any farmer, planter or rancher may
have sustained last year will be
more than made good, The war in
Europe may last for months or
years, but while it continues there
will be an active demand for every.
thing we produce, Should The war

in prizes to be awarded to exhibitors.
The prizes include three cash prizes
to be awarded in gold, aggregating
81 900. Those classes will be open
to all subscribers to the Southern
Ruralist. Nearly 1000 entries have

mercial proposition is the opinion ex-
pressed in letter received by Gov
ernor Harris from William Breester,
of Springfield, Mass. He called atten-
ton to bamboo grove he recently
81 W in Chatham county. He said the
people of Chatham were living in a
field almost as rich as gold mine
and did not realize it.
Governor Harris sent the letter to
II. M. Stanley, commissioner Of agri-
culture, who is inclined to believe
that the point of view expressed there
in is right. He points out that BAN
boo can be used in making all kinds
of furniture, baskets, boxes, ladders,
and even houses. The leaves can be
used for weaving and packing pur-
poses, while portions of the plant are
used in other countries for food by
the poorer people.
