Bristol French IN the Pied
mont Banner comments on the
space and support given by c"un
try papers to causes for which
,therS get we'll paid. What liz
says is mighty true and we ar
quoting what he says because il
seems sometimes that people
lose sight of how much a weekly
oaper gives the community. The
Register gives quite little space
to the Farm Adviser articles and
'ther meritorious causes aud
while we are not compelled to do
it we feel that we are contribut-
1ng to a good cause. Below is
what Mr.. French has to say:
I'm counties having farm ad-
visers we note that the news
oaper's publish long letters from
the adviser to the farmers. They
Of course get no pay for this.
But the farm adviser is paid for
his work, and if he writes letters
of sufficient length and strength
1t goes far toward proving to
the public that he is doing his
duty. Our only point in men,
tioning this matter-for we have
no farm adviser in Wayne Coun-
ty-is simply to point out the
Justice of farm advisers, state
boards of various sorts, normal
schools, ETC., paying for their
publicity. The only unpaid pro
fessor" on the faculty of the
Missouri University is the coun-
try editor; the only unpaid off,
cials of the state boards of health
and agriculture are the country
editors; the only unpaid field
and extension agents of the state
normals are the country editors,
the only unpaid allies of the farm
advisers are the country editors:
The assumption of the average
reader is that the subscription
price of paper compensates the
editor for all this work. 1t does
nothing of the kind. 1tdoes not
net him enough money to pay
one printer, even on a paper with
| a large circulation like the Ban.

The state government at jeff
erson City is a government based
upon political prejudice, rather
than upon a policy consistent
with tne economic welfare of the
people. Missouri is held to be
one Of the states in which
political opinion is still largely
biased by the feeling engender-
ed by the Civil War, more than
fifty years ago, and determines
the result at the polls; and that
because of this feeling the Demo
cratic party always W MS regard
less of that partv'S conduct as

done in the name of Democracy,
and that goes, is the the DRY on
which the Democratic, party of

KEEPS WORKS GOING
WITH LABORERS CONE

CASSILS, Sept. 21.-Although more
than a thousand of it's 5000 employees
here have been drawn into the army,
the Henschel & Son Locomotive
Works, the largest institution of its
kind in Europe, has been able to keep
the output of its plants here and in
Westphalia at par or above. Foreign
orders which formerly called for 40
per cent. of is output have fallen al +,
most entirely but the German govern
ment has worn out SO many lovomo-
tives in war work that the home mar
ket has taken up all the supply.
The decreased number of employees
who have been working long hours to
keep the output at normal have earned
large sum in overtime pay. The aver
age production at the Cassel plant is
1000 locomotives a year. In addition
to keeping up to this figure during the
past year, the plant has perfected and
put into commission a new type of
locomotives that is the last word in
European engines. AS fast as these
can be turned out the Prussian rail-
way system is taking them.
One of the last commissions from a
foreign country which the Henschel
plant in Cassel received was an order
for 80 locomotives for Rumania. Rum
ania at that time was not considered as
a possible participant in the war, an
Henschel & Son went head with the
order. The engines are just about
completed now, but it is highly i'm
probable that they will be delivered for
a time.

INVESTORS TO

MIDDLING Bales
IN BELIEF THAT COTTON WILL
ADVANCE.

The man in Americas who possesses
the actual cash and the grit to back it
up, is going to buy for himself, his
heirs or assigns one lot of good mid
ding cotton, pack it away in safe
place, and then quietly sit down unit!
the price goes to twelve or twenty
cents, as the case may be- Perhaps G.
bit uncertain and not without an ele
ment of risk, but many are going to
do it, just the same.
Not only is this speculative spirit
manifest here, but in other sections
of the state as WELL The buyers OF
cotton are not gambling in futures, y
but are purchasing the actual sop.
cotton as profitable venture.
They realize, perhaps, that the crop
this year is very short, and that thu
crop next year, with no fertilizer avail
able and the boil weevil busy besides,

CARED over this season, as hereto
fore, and fine cotton will in all prob
ability, be in very great demand long
before next years small crop is mar
keted. This condition, they argue,
should boost values.
They contend that, even at 10 cents
cotton is good purchase.
Cotton hauled to Americas recently
to be ginped was, in some instances
hauled back home the same day, there
to be stored away to await higher
prices. Of course, it would be far
better, and not at all expensive, to
store such cotton in warehouses for
better protection, but the farmer has
his own ideas upon that score. Not a
few of them will put their 'hold-over"
bales in local warehouses, the better
plan.
Cotton will, in all probability, go
higher later in the season, perhaps to
prices prevailing in Sully days, when
it sold her in Americas at seventeen
cents. In such event the man who
buys it now for a long hold, or who
keeps portion of his crop may, in the

MATCHMAKING IS
FALLING FOR SWISS

ZURICH, Switzerland, Sept. 21.-The
exports of Swiss watches in 1914 show
a decrease in value of more than $780,
100000 as compared with the previous
year uBt for the readiness with
which Swiss manufacturers adapted
themselves to the changed condition
their losses would have still been
greater.
Switzerland's watch export INDUSTRY
is the greatest in the world. Eighty
seven per cent of all the foreign
watches sold in the various countries
of the world are made in Switzerland.
In 1918 there were exported more than
fifteen million watches of total val
ne of some $370OO,O00. While less
than 100000 watches were sold in
the home market that year; not two
per cent of the total production.
When the war broke out the Swiss
industry was brought to a standstill.
The manufacturers were most pessi-
mistic. There were no orders, there
were no money and credit was difficult
to obtain. But changes fashion soon
helped them to circumvent the hard
ships. Obviously there was no longer
any market for the more expensive
watches so the makers turned to pro-
ducing cheaper articles especially
adapted for the military. A great trade
was done in silver, nickel and gun
metal cased watches, with luminous
dials which found a ready sale among
army men. Excepting certain towns
and districts where only expensive
watches had been made the industry
gradually recovered from the first de d.
1 preston and there are now fewer un
employed workmen than any time
since the war began.

AMERICAN ORDERS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. I'll
American commercial travellers are
now penetrating far into northern
Manchuria. Consul Moser reports
from Hardin to the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce, Department
OF Commerce, that he is busy intro
ducing American trade solicitors to
Russian firms. The consul says he en-
deavors to be personally acquainted
with the managers of every importing
firm in his district. When the Ameri-
can commercial travellers arrive at
Hardin, the Consul introduces them,
and gives them useful information.
The result is that the buyer and seller
are mutually assisted. Recent orders
thus placed in Hardin for American
goods include Pennsylvania watch
cases, $4,000 worth of Massachusetts,
shoes, New York roofing, California
dried fruits, and Pennsylvania rubber
goods, while several orders ere pend
ing for railway supplies and othe,

SHOW THE BUILDING RECORD
 IMPROVING FAST Hendricks Report for Au- gust Made Public-MOre Permits for Cheaper
 Buildings

Although the building record for the past month of August showed decrease of over 100 per cent from that of August, 1914. and about TO per cent from that of last July. it Is confidently stated in the office of Building Inspector Kendrick that the building conditions are improving and that by the first of the year constructive activities will reach the normal status commensurate with the rapid growth of Birmingham.
 The building report for August shows that 56o permits were Issued for an esti- mated cost of s1S7,615. In 1914 for the same month the building report was: SS0 per- mits for an estimated cost of $Sl4,549. The decrease amounted to s176,s24 or over 100 per cent.
 Immediately after the outbreak of the European war the building permits began a sharp falling off so that the report at the end of 1914 showed a loss of &, ,3S6, ,S61 from that of the report of 1913. Since the beginning of 1915 the monthly reports have shown sharp loss from the correspond ing months in 1914 but of late it is au- thoritatively stated these losses are be- ing checked and the surest indication of this is that most of the labor engaged in the building trades in the Birmingham district is active at the present time. Comparative figures for the 1S months since the beginning of the great world war and the previous 1S months in building activity follows:

Unique Case in Recorders Court. One of About Forty Cases
 Heard Yesterday

About 40 minor cases were disposed of before Judge Davis in the recorders court yesterday morning and afternoon and the majority of the defendants were fined or sentenced to the city farm where proper agricultural in- struction will be given gratis.
 One of the most interesting of the cases tried was that of c. c. Young of o4S1 Second avenue. East Lake. 1t ap- pears that Mir. Young was arrested some weeks ago on the charge of dis charging firearms within the city linn its by Officers Cartwright and Taylor
 At the trial proceeded yesterday 1t developed that the aforesaid discharg- ing of firearms within the city limits resulted in the shooting of a Quin- tet of recalcitrant geese which Had wandered into the truck patch of MT Toung. The geese were the property of Lawyer Roach, who lived Adjacent Incidentally, it was testified that after the geese had been shot they were gathered up-quite dead-and left in a neat pile on the property of Mr. Roach.
 After hearing all the evidence and the effustive oratory of Attorney J. B. Ivey, who prosecuted the case for Mir. Roach, Recorder Davis decided that Mir. Young was guilty of discharging firearms within the city limits and fined the defendant $5, which was promptly paid.

SUNDERLAND CASE
 . IS STILL A PUZZLE ID THE DETECTIVES
Brother of Victim Reaches City, But Can Shed No Light on Fifth Ave
 nue Tragedy

Wendell H. Sunderland of Talbot, Tenn, who was held up and shot by a lone negro highwayman and robbed of s6o Tuesday morning at 12:so o'clock on Fifth avenue between Ninth and Davis infirmary, where his condition Is regarded as serious though not neces- sarily fatal.
 J. A. Sunderland. brother of the wounded man, arrived in the city yes- terday and immediately went to the Iiillman hospital to see his brother Shortly after his arrival the wounded man was removed to the Davis infirm- ary.
 Detectives working on the case are completely mystifed as to the probable cause of Sunderland being shot. Every point of the sensational case was gone over thoroughly by the detectives and despite the various theories advanced they were unable to arrive at defi mite conclusion. The brother of tho wounded man is at a loss to under stand the shooting. The most important olew to the probable unraveling of the SC Is the fact that the top shirt of the wounded man was not penetrated by the bullet, which narrowly missed his heart. The undershirt of Sunder- land was badly burned by the muzzle of the gun coming in contact with the skin The top shirt bore the powder marks from the inside. showing that the revolver must have been dis charged under the top shirt
 Some of the authorities are of the opinion that Sunderland was shot in house in the vicinity where he claims he was held up and rather than cause any notoriety. he staggered to the spot where he fell and bled freely. before struggling to the house of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company watchman and calling for help The brother of the wounded man could not throw any light on the mys- terious actions of Wendell Sunderland. He refuses to discuss the case and cannot account for the mysterious shooting.
 Detectives who were on vacation at the time of the shooting of Sun derland and the holding up of R. E. Small at 609 Nineteenth street. have been called on to help in the unravel- ing of these two cases. Inspector Fur ner says that no stone will be left un- turned to solve both cases. As yet no arrests have been made in either the Sunderland shooting, or the Small holdup, in which the holdup men got S700 worth of diamonds.
