BANKERS ASKED To
HELP MOVE CROPS
LETTER IS ADDRESSED BY FED
ERAL RESERVE BOARD TO
TWELVE REGIONAL BANKS.
Action Taken to Forestall Any Pos
sibiIIty Of Confession of Crops This
Fall or Lack of Financial Accom-
mediation to Move Them.

Washington. -Preliminary plans de-
signed to make available the resources
Of the federal reserve system in the
annual fall movement of crops have
been worked out by the federal re-
serve board. Writing to the twelve
regional banks, the board pointed out
In letter made public Monday how
members of the system may help to
finance the crop movement.
The boards action was taken, the
letter says, to forestall any possibility
of congestion of crops this fall or lack
of financial accommodation to move
them and to avoid recurrence of the
stringency which in the past has
marked this movement.
Although the board applies its plan
to wheat, corn and all other cereals,
It devotes most attention to the cot
ton crop, which, it says, is peculiarly
sensitive to abnormal conditions, such
as now exist in the export trade.
Usually the crop movement has
been taken care of by government de-
posits in banks or the issue OF emer-
gency currency under the Aldrich-
Vreeland act, which expired last
month. In place of these agencies, the
board states, there is ample authority
In the federal reserve act to meet the
situation this fall.

Iteration and reiteration by the
liquor interests that prohibition
does not prohIbit" will probably com
tinue until the end of the chapter,
because the phrase is neatly turned
and Is not without an element of
strict truth. But what have these
particular interests to say in answer
to the statement of Governor Capper
of Kansas, that there ane half a
million boys and girls in this state
who never saw a saloon?
No matter what anybody may think
about prohibition as state or nation
al question, this assertion of Cover
nor Capper's is profoundly impressive
1t is without exaggeration, and 1t
needs no diagram or blue print to
make it comprehensive. A COM
monwealth in which such a condiL
ton exists ought to be good place
to raise boys and girls. There may
be old soaks who know how and
where to get their drinks, and there
may be mercenary. conscienceless
scamps who will violate the law and
outrage human brotherhood by pur-
veying to them. But when both
these classes are under the ban and
have to carry on their nefarious busi-
ness In strictest secrecy and with
continuous fear OF detection and
punishment, the mooral health of the
community will be deemed family good
A vast asset and q large gain will
accrue to any state whose governor
can say, with Capper of Kansas, that
Its future citizens are growing up so
free from the communicating influence
of the saloon as not 10 know what
the ubiquitous place even looks like.

MILK BOTTLES

Your attention Is called to Section
IL. Chapter 100, Session Laws 1911
which is as follows:
III shah be unlawful to fill or re.
fl win milk, cream or other milk
product any glass jar o. bottle hay
ing the name of any person, firm
or corporation blown therein or any
private mark or works irrespective
ly branded stamped, etched OF
blown therein"
This provision of the law makes 1t
a demeanor for one dairyman to use
the bottles of another dairyman in
handling milk or cream.
The consumers attention is invited
to the provision of the law making
it a msdemeanor to use milk cans
or milk bottles for any other purpose
than the holding of milk or cream.
This law reads, as follows, Section
4, Chapter 212, Session Laws 1911:
ut shall be unlawful for any per-
son other than the rightful owner
thereof to use amy (milk cam, bottle,
cask, keg, barrel, or other recep-
tacle marked or branded as herein
provided, for any purpose, or for the
TRANSPORTATION or handling of any ar
ticle or product than designated or
provided for by such branding
1t has come to the attention OF
this department that milk bottles, reg
istered and marked with the name
of the owner, are being confiscated
by some housewives and used as jelly
glasses, etc. This Is not only unIalr
to the dairyman but is violation of
law. Investigations along this line
will be made and prosecution institu-
ted where facts are sufficient to war
rant such action.
1t might be we'll for the public to
bear in mind that a registered milk
bottle cannot be sold by the dairy
man and cannot be used by anyone,
other than the owner, for amy purpos
and can be used by the owner only
for the transportation and delivery of
milk and cream.
Creameries, diaries, junk dealers and
all others are warned that this law
will be enforced.

The Wendell Irrigationist last week
contained thirty-three alias summons
which with net the publisher about
$50 apiece, or in all about $1,000, i'm
the space of six weeks. Good bust
ness for the newspaper when 1t
comes I'm punches like that. But
what effect will the foreclosure on
thirty-three water rights have upon
the town and country? The foreclos-
ing OF these water rights undoubted-
ly means that the farmers In the
Wendell country could not meet pay
ments ON their water rights, which
is surely a bad state of affairs.

SUBMARINE SINK ANOTHER
AMERICAN FREIGHT VESSEL

Washington.-An American ship
has been sunk by a German subma-
rine, the vessel being sunk in sight
of land and all of the crew saved.
The vessel sent to the bottom was
the Leelanaw, carrying cargo of flax,
which is regarded by the Germans as
contraband. The vessel was sunk of
the Orkney island.
Destruction of the American ship
Leelanaw by German submarine
drew sharply to the attention of off,

on the subject.

ships destroyed or damaged-the Gulf.
light, the Nebraskan and the William
P. Frye-Germany has agreed to pay
damages, and in the last case the Der.
lin government took the position that
it had not violated the treaty of 1928,
but had exercised a right given her
by inference from the language of the
pact.
Officials of the washington govern.
ment were surprised at destruction Of
the Leelanaw, but beyond adding an.
other incident to the already strained
relations between the two govern.
ments, there was no indication that
the case would lead to new turn in
the general situation.
Only meager accounts Of the de-
struction of the Leelanaw have been
received here, but it is clear that the
submarine gave the commander Of the
steamer ample warning, even permit
ting the crew to collect part of their
effects before taking them aboard the
underwater craft, which then, through
the combined use of shell fire and
torpedo, sent the vessel to the bottom.
The fact that the Grey of the yes
sci were saved caused feeling OF
relief in official quarters, but there
were many evidences of apprehension
that If Germany continues to promise
payment, yet destroys more American
ships, new situation might be Great

al rules of international law the de.

contraband was not admitted until the
famous Knight Commander case in the
Russo-Japanese war. The declaration

MORAL DECAY THROUGHOUT THE
WORLD.

To the Editor:
The present war is the outgrowth
Of a condition similar to the condi-
ton which existed in the days of Noah
The restraining influence of the
Spirit of God had been resisted by
the antediluvians until men were left
to follow out their evil impulses.
Crime, violence, immortality, blood
shed, and war were the result. Here
we have a true picture of what will
be; for "as it was i'm the days Of
Noah, so shall 1t be also in the days
of the son of man." Luke 1925.
John the Revelator, in speaking of
the last days, says: Il saw three I'M
clean spirits They are the spirits
of devils, working miracles, which
go forth unto the kings of the earth
and of the whole world, to gather
them to the battle of the great day
OF God Almighty. Behold, come as
a thief. Blessed ishe that watcheth,
and keepeth his garments, lest he
walk naked, and they see his shame"
Rev. Is: 1916. In referring to the
final outcome, he says: "The nations
were angry, and thy wrath is come,
and the time of the dead, that they
should be judged, and that thou
shouldest give reward unto thy SER
wants the prophets, and to the saints,
and them that fear thy name, small
and great; and shouldest destroy
them which destroy the earth" Rev.
HIS.
In reply to the inquiry, What
shall be the sign Of thy coming, and
of the end of the world?" Jesus said
to his disciples: CAS- the days of
Noe were, so shall also the coming
of the Son of man be. For In the
days that were before the flood they
were eating and drinking, marrying
and giving in marriage, until the day
that Noe entered into the ark, and
knew not until the flood came, and
took them all away; so shall also
the coming of the Son of man be-"
Matt. 24:3, 37-39.
While the power from beneath Is
taking possession of those who have
cast aside the restraining influence
Of the Spirit of God, power from
above will take possession of God s
loyal subjects. While "evil men and
worse deceiving, and being deceived
the good will be developing char
acters that win civ ca right to eter-
nal life. The line of demarcation be-
tween the two classes necessarily
will become more distinct as time ad-
vances. Wars, earthquakes, famine,
and pestilence are unmistakable fore
runners of Christ's coming. Matt.
24:7-14.
Very sincerely yours,
H. c. BEACH,
Elder of the Seventh-day Adventist
Church.

One OF our esteemed exchanges
rises to inquire: IF Becker had
had Thaw's millions would he have
been executed?" Not until the New
York lawyers had gotten the millions
would they let him be executed. AT
ter that he would be worthless to

and the play is close.
1t is a race between the arm OF
one man against the legs of an
other: between the speed of a
thrown ball and the speed of 4
man.
The play, besides being the
kind that gets the fan up cnto
his feet, is one that shows just
how much faster a thrown ball
travels than a runner. Another
thing, ii is open and the fan can
see everything. He can watch
the ball as it gains on the runner
and has time to figure if the bali
travelling, say, $50 feet can got
to the plate quicker than a man
running 80 feet.
The play that makes the fan
throw his hat in the air is the
base hit in a pinch What rs
more hilarious than a ninth in.
ming, the score tied, two out and
a runner on second. The batter
cracks one, the ball whistles owe:
the shortstop's head and the
runner dashes ito the plate, slid
ing in just ahead of the throw
from the outfield. 80
There is lot of difference Of
opinion as to the kind of game
the fan likes best to watch. Does
he like lot of tight pitching or
a lot of hitting and running?
Does he like a l to 0 game, or
10 to l game? IN
Here's the answer, | believe.
The fans want just enough. of
each and no more. The l 20 0
game is "A battle between two
men, the pitchers. In the 10 to
/ game, the playing is too much
one-sided. IS.
The ideal game is 5to. 4saf

and running to satisfy everybody.
