THE LUsITANIA.

The Cunard Line, to which the
Lusitauia belonged, was founded
more than rs years ago and has
boasted that it had never lost the
life of a single passenger. 1t also
boasted that owing to the IT'S sepa.
rate, water tight compartments in
to which the hull of the great ship
was divided. she was practically
unsinkable. Still further, owing to
her possible speed of 29 miles an
hour, it was also boasted that she
would be able to elude and run
away from the swiftest German
submarine. Fond illusions and
proud boasts and fancies get knock
ed in the head these days. especial
ly when the recognized risks of
war are run
The loss of the Lusitania repre-
sents 1000, 900 1t was the
greatest prize the Germans could
have gotten That the great boat
was not protected was due to bad
management and the fact that only
comparatively valueless vessels had
been destroyed before by the Ger
man submarines. She was the
29th boat to be sunk in the first
week of May.
The Germans urge their iustifi.
cation in the fact of her carrying
28O, 900 pounds of copper wire and
5. 500 cases of ammunition.
In sinking the smaller boats re-
ferred to time was given the crews
to be taken off, before the vessels
we're sent to the bottom. But no
such favor was shown the Lusitan-
ID She was assassinated,
in the fraction of a moment the
torpedoes sped into the hull of the
great boat as the ~" rose; then
the submarine darted again under
the cover of the water and was out
and away before its victim realized
its fate.
This looks like the climax to sub
marine warfare-it is unprecedent-
ed-and should arouse the civilized
world to the fact that there is no
limit to which modern warfare
may be confined.
The Germans are fighting to win
and they are not counting the cost,
The principle, however, involved
has been known in history before
on smaller scale and demonstrate
ed in different manner.

GREAT GOOD BEING DONE
BY STATE BANKING LAW.

Jackson, Miss. In bis address
before the Bankers Association
here a few days ago. State Bank
Examiner Love. of the Southern
district. explained the operation of
the banking law during the first
year of its existence, and took the
position that a. great deal of good
had been accomplished. confidence
had been restored and deposits are
now larger than ever before though
the number of banks has been de-
creased by the elimination of a
score or more concerns that were
found weak and unable to comply
with the law.
He found that the sentiment of
the bankers has changed in regard
to the guaranty feature of the law
the majority of them being op.
posed to it at first,> but are now
free to admit there is merit in it
He was gratified to be able to state
that 2l4 banks have already COM
piled with the guaranty law, and
others are preparing to do so
There have been no failures among
the guaranteed banks and they are
all in safe and sound condition.
They have on deposit in the state
treasury $l77 900 worth of bonds to
the credit of the depositor's guar
anty fund as we'll as So, 500 which
will be used, if necessary. to pay
depositors of any guaranteed bank
that happens to fail.

American Importers Want Washington
to Enter Protest.

News has come from Genoa that
the Italian government has placed
an embargo on the expectation of
olive oil, and this has created con-
sternation among American import
ers of this very necessary article Of
commerce. A movement has been
started to petition the Washington
government to take steps to induce
the Italian government to remove
the embargo. on the ground that it
is not fair for foreign governments
to restrict exports to the United
States. as long as the United States
is freely exporting all kinds of
foodstufs and other articles Of COM
merce to them.

Elida, N NJ, Aug, 2t-A carload
of grain a day is being shipped from
this point and the end Of the supply
is nowhere in sight. The town has
struck a wave Of prosperity and is
booming in every way.
The crops Of tributary area are the
finest ever seen in this section, kaffir
corn and maize prevailing, though
there were some exceptionally fine
fields of corn. Fred b. Steg. who has
a fine field Of corn, expects it to yield
fully sixty bushels to the acre.
There is much talk Of turning the
old cement mill here into q grain ele-
vator The amount Of grain coming
in is such that an elevator is needed
badly to handle IL economically
The city road board has graded the
city streets and the trees set out in
the city park some time ago are rap
idly turning that area into an attract
i've timbered park
The most significant indication Of
the towns prosperity, however, is the
fact that the deposits at the First Ma
tiOnal bank are so per cent larger
than they We're last year. Another
significant fact Is that the feeding Of
hogs and cattle on the farms around
the city is being pressed This, If is

good local rain in sight of fabian and
the people ON the plains north Of here
have little more moisture than nee

The crop outlook was never better
There will be more beans, maize, KAT

ever before even if it does not rain
any more
So much rain has stopped the work
Of the Davies thresher for several
days but Mr., Davies expects to start

The rain of last Saturday raised
the fabian creek SO high that it was
dangerous to try to cross IL in any
kind of vehicle Hollis Tyson had
taken a crowd of young folks, chap
eroned by Mrs Thurmond, out to
the Cornett ranch three miles south
of here. to q birthday party and the
big raise came while he was ON the
other side of the stream.
lie thought his Ford mobile could
swim and drove in, but the water was
too deep and he stopped IN the middle
of the creek. Ed Tyson came to the
rescue on horse back and tried carry
ing the young folks out on his PACK
because the horse wouldn't go close
to the machine.
Success favored him so far as the
kids were concerned He got every
one out safely but when he tried to
rescue Mrs. Thurmond they were
thrown into the water.
Many prospectors for farm and
grazing land have been here lately
but not many deals are being maze
for the reason that nearly everybody
is satisfied With present conditions
and have most all come to stay.
