M. INE BLUFF ROG!RESS
 ROSPERITY
BARRETrS TALK HARMFUL.

c. s. Barrett, prs sident of the Farmers union, is lambasting the ad- niinistration for failure to give aid to tho farmer and endeavoring to lead the tillers of the soil to believe that the government should take over the fSrmer's burden. MT. Barrett may mean well, but he appears to be of oh dhe wrong track. 1t is true, perhaps, that the govern nient should permit national banks 10 make loans on real estate, and that it should enact such legislation as would enable the ownprs of farms to obtain longtime loans at low rates of interest, but the government can. not be expected to buy or market the farmers crops.
 MT. Barrett says he does not know Of a farmer who benefited from tht cotton pool last year. This may bt true, but even so the blame cannot bt placed on the government.
 The average cotton grower canno avail himself of tenders of loan or cotton because his cotton is mortgag d before, it is made. The govern mcnt cannot, with justice, be blamed for this condition any more than bank should be blamed for refusing to loan money without security.
 The farmers, as class, arc recelv .lg more assistance from federal 1n' state governments these days thar arc members of any other occupation or trade. In addition, farmers in Jet ferson county, are receiving the as sistancs of business men, banker' and merchants. This, through th' Jefferson county Farmers club. In farmer should prosper; he shoui not be compelled to seek financial al' wear after year. His relief IS wlti i.imself. If he will avail himself o inc advice and aid tendered mn gratis; follow this advice, grow HI own needs and be in position to oe ma,,d cash for his crop, he will be th' most independent and prosperous o all producers. .v,
 Mr.s garrett is doing injury to 'h' sasimers in leading them to depsn' npon others for relief from sltua ton. the reme dy for which rests "i'' inc farmers themselves.

 From Praga, the Russian center is falling back rapidly upon Novominsk, and over the plain to the north or the railway line.
 But at Wyszkow, on the Bug, and along the Russian line of rtereat, General von Gallwitz is trying des- perately to break through, seize the railroad and cut off the Russians. Ii he succeeds, this force will be trap ped and cut off from it's right wing neor Mono Georgeivsk, with which, at last reports, it was kept intact. NO word has been received from con Gallwitz in more than twelve hours. A little to the south the Archduke Joseph Ferdinand, at the head of an Austrian army, also is trying to break through.
 Between the Vistula and the Bug, von Mackenzen continues to press forward rapidly upon Brest Litovsk. According to an official report to- day. the Russian retreat is becoming much faster. German attacks on the northern defenses along the NareW are proceeding with success. it IS asserted in Berlin.
 It is reported semi-officially from Petrograd that the retreat from War saw was ordered two days ago and that the Russian troops remaining Ill the capital began at that time to withdraw to Praga.

Contraband Cotton.

The placing of cotton upon the con.
traband list is likely to prove a serious
injury to the cotton growers of the
United States, who market such a
large portion of their crop abroad.
Undoubtedly protest against this
action will be made by this country
as soon as II can be prepared.
The reason why Britain and her
allies are doing this is to prevent
cotton reaching their enemies to be
used with explosives. There seems
to be good deal Of difference of
opinion respecting just the amount of
cotton that is used for this purpose
and whether or not there are sub
stitutes for It. But this will probably
be speedily ascertained when the sup
ply shuts off.
The Britishers are large users of
cotton, both in munitions and their
huge mills, and no doubt will be ready
to receive their usual supply. Mean
while the action will cause a consid-
cradle fuhthor disturbance to the al.
ready abnormal condition of our for
eign trade.
