Turkish Supplies Exhausted.

GENEVA, Switzerland, Sept. 24.- It is reported that supplies at Con- stantinople are nearly exhausted and that the government has ordered still further ertrenchments in the supply of food being dealt out to the citizens. That the Turkish army has also ex- hausted it's supply of munitions is be- lieved, as the Allies are reported to have made substantial gains on the Gallipol peninsula, where several Turkish strongholds were captured.

pean governments are desirous of se- curing the huge loan in order to fa cilitate the handling of trade between
 ,merica and the European countries, that there is no shortage of gold in England and France.
 Speaking on the subject of the loan, Senator E. Almond, chairman of the finance committee of the French senate, recently made the statement that France could send before the end of the war 1,500,0O0,- 900 francs ($300,000,000) in gold to the United States without affect ing her financial position in Europe. While we can do this, we consider that the greatest service which can be rendered to France is to cooper ate in stabilizing the exchange mar ket, which Americans can do to their own advantage as we'll as to ours by granting loan, the proceeds of which would pay for supplies pur- chased in America. The only alter native is to submerge American banks with gold to meet all payments. This we can do as easily as was done a few years ago, when the banks of France sent 1O0,000,000 francs to relieve the situation in Wall street. Gold is flowing from individual French purses into the Bank of France at the rate of S0,000,000 francs a week, and peasants are sub |scribing to the national loan at the rate of 1,20O, 100000 francs month, which France is spending on the war, 1,200,OO0,O00 francs are used inside the country and 600, 100000 abroad; besides the gold reserve of 4,200, ,0O0- 900 francs in the Bank of France, the government has another gold re- serve of 5,OOO,0OO,0O0 francs in pri- vate banks"

Name The Fa~

1t is a subject for favorable
comment that the farmers Of 10.
gan County are showing increased
interest in the selection of names
for their farms. 1t is a practice
that should be rapidly growing in
favor until every farm in the
county has been christened with
an appropriate name. The oper-
alton requires no undue effort.
Select a name and file it with the
county court clerk; that's all.
But interest in the matter should
not end here. Every name
chosen should be conspicuously
displayed by means or a sign
board Or other suitable device, in
order that each passing friend or
stranger may observe the evil
dence Of pride in rural life.

THE COUNTRY WITH THE PRESIDENT.

Horrible as is war, and especially modern war, there
are things that worse.
President Wilson has demonstrated that he is for
peace when peace may be secured without the sacrifice of
Of National honor His enemies have even accused him
of cowardice and proclaimed him as willing to purchase
peace at any price because he did not yield to the pressure
that broughtto bear upon him and intervene in the
Mexican mudde But he possessed that rare yea exat-
ed courage that enabled him to follow the course he deem
ed the wisest despite the popular clamor.
If it comes to war with Germany and it seems hard
ly avertabe nowthe country will know that President
Wilson has used all honorable to avoid it, But he
will uphold the dignity and honor of the nation fearessy
and in this the people are heartily with him.
Some Of the opposition press the German more par
tculary, have soruthlessy criticised the President and
hisadmaistra idea ohtained abroad that he
was weaklhg and Germany conceived the idea that she
could bully the United States atwil and arroganty put
aside the protest of this nation and asserted her intention
of continuing the assassination of neutras on the high
seas &c. if Wilson's Thou shalt not" brings on a. war
between the two countries German nsoence fotered by
unpatrotc, unAmerican criticism at home, will be re-

Every loyal American citizen will stand by the Pres-
dent in this crisis.

How European War Has Crippled

Washington, June 5.-Dr. E.
E. Pratt, chief of the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce,
of the department of commerce,
has made a study of the trade
conditions in Latin America as
affected by the war.
THE commerce Of Latin
America was cut in half, immi-
grafton ceased, industry was
temporarily paralyzed, thousands
of men were thrown cut of en-
ployment, and all public improve
ments except the absolutely in
dispensable were completely sus-
pended by the war;" he says.
Although they are separated
from the scene of hostilities by
seven thousand miles of ocean,
they were much more severely
affected than the nations contigu-
Gus to-the warning nations.
in at least three of the largest
countries the war cut off immense
loans involving millions of dollars
which were in process of negoti-
alton in July. The nitrate, coffee,
cocoa, hides, tin and rubber OF
South America have been largely
marketed in Europe. On August
/ the European market practic,
ally ceased to exist. State
