ans life. Miss Kuemin told the Of.
icers that DR.. Fritch had performed

began Q search for evidence in an
effort to connect Dr.. Fritch with
the case.
Detective Shook has received a
letter from a Toledo nurse. said TO

that she has In her possession in

ment.
The woman did not sign her
name, neither did she give her ad-
dress. But she said: insert q no.
tice in a Toledo paper, and will
meet you ut any place you desig-
nate"
The woman says that she knew
the Arnold woman for several years,
and was familiar with all the cir
cumstances Of her removal to De.
troit.
Detective Shook will leave Thurs

the informant. who IL believed TO

already looking forward TO what
will happen when peace is restored.

effort to recover their lost trade

they would look with compfacency
upon the absolute control of the
cotton market by the mills of Eng.
land and America, permitting them
to secure their supplies of cotton
at very low prices, and defer their
own purchases until after peace is
made and take the chances of Sc

much higher prices. Is it not reason

We have been having summer
weather all through September and
up to now in October, hni it looks
like we are going to have some fine
fall weather now. The week OF
rain has put everybody behind with
picking cotton. We are having
fine weather for sowing grain, and
all who can are sowing. A good
many are going to try wheat again
this fail. There is more clover
and grass being planted in this
neighborhood this fall than have
ever known before, as one of the
results of our institute last summer.
The crops with us are poor, but the
price of cotton and seed will help
out the short crops.
The Brunson school opened last
Monday with Miss Sara Stevens as
principal and Miss Carrie Collins
assistant. This is Miss collins sixth

Germany Will Buy and Store
Cotton.

There is reason to believe that
beth the Germans and the Allies are
watching keenly the present cotton
situation,-that Germany is as anx'
ious to have cotton as the Allies are
to prevent her from obtaining it,
and it is not inconeeivable thai there
may be evidences before very long
of international competition for the
possession of the South's great sta
pie. 1t is at least a possibility that
cotton will be purchased in large
quantities for foreign account and
stored in the warehouses of the
South to be shipped out as needed
and as opportunities for shipments
arise.
No one has ever accused the Ger
mans of being lacking in far-sight-
