 They are growing consil;era corn In the South these days, but net Ca land calling for two and threa lu2drtd dollars cn acre. Mississippi, for instance, is becoming a great corn ate; but such high priced land is nearly unheard of in Mis- sissippi.
 Whats the answer?
 It is this: Thot good agriculaur>a laEi can be had cheapest in the Sou h, and that new land owners or tenants, instead of allowing their amb,Hcns to take them into Canada ard under a foreign flag, can find mora attractive agricultural offerings at low figures in their own coun- tl..
 Hundreds of thousands Of our best farmers have treked across ths !. Canadian border in quest of cheap land The reason hundreds of thou sands of thsse have not came South Is bacause the Canadian government has conducted an extensive advsrtis ing campaign in this country for years, whils, no southern state or the Scu h as a whole has competed with l.anaia as to its advantages.
 But sven so. Oklahoma. for in- stance, was settled rapidly; so were parts of Texas. But the advantages CT the South as whole have net hesn brought to the attsntion of rest ,Sss Northern farmers as should have elen the case.
 Considering the amount Of cheao and fertile land in the Scuth it is re- markable that the ta,en who went tu Canada did not turn their faces t. Arkansas, Alabama and the other Southern and Southwestern states insuaai. They probab1y wUutd h1v- been better ots.
 A peep at government figures proves the contention. The average iasm in Alabama is 7S.9 acres in ex- tent, and the average value an acre otsiy $1o46; i'll Arkansas the aferags farm is S1.1 acrss, and tue value per acre S1412. Other states are as fol-

France TO Keep Out All of Ger
man, Austrian or Turkish
Origin.

WASHINGTON, June 24-France will
bar naturalized Americans of German,
Austro Hungarian or Turkish origin,
as precaution against possibilities Of
espionage. according to dispatch re-
ceiVcd at the State Department to-day
from Ambassador Pnge in London.
The French passport bureau in Lon
don, the ambassador stated. henceforth
would refuse to wise passports held by
such naturalized citizens of the United
States, because Of the charge that n

American passports Without the ap-
proval of a French consul travellers
from Great Britain cannot enter
France II was supposed here that
the same regulations would be imposed
on European nations where French
consuls are posted.
Inasmuch as no naturalization treaty
exists between the United States and
France. officials of the State Depart
nent tonight declined to outline what
course the Washington government
might follow.
The French order was regarded here
as development of general instruc-
tions issued 10 French consuls several
weeks ago, giving them discretionary
powers OF action on the passports Of
naturalized Americans originally COM
Ing from the nations at war with the

GETT TYSBURG, PA, June 24.-Eight
persons are known to have been killed
and from twelve to fourteen injured in
n head-on collision between the Blue
Mountain special and a local train on
the Western Maryland Railroad near
the Mason and Dixon line tonight
The trains met at high speed on a
bridge spanning a deep ravine between
Highfield and Thurmons, and II Is
reared some of the passengers were
thrown from the bridge. The location
OF the wreck is isolated. and darkness
prevented rapid search. Telegraph
wires were carried down, ana 1t was
difficult to obtain information
The engines were telescoped, three
members of the engine crews and a
baggage-master being killed Three
and possibly four passengers were
killed.
The identified dead are:
Charles Cook, engineer of the ac-
commodation train.
Charles r. Fritz. fireman.
Luther Hull. bnggageman.
Mrs. Chipchase, of Baltimore, and
her son.
4 baggage car apparently was the
only one that left the bridge, but a
Parlor car was suspended over the
side. All the cars of the special train
were of steel construction.
The injured were taken to HaGers-
town and Thurmont. but the relief work
was difficult.
The private car OF President Gray,
containing number of officials of the
Western Maryland. was attached to
the Blue Mountain express. but none
OF the officials was killed.
The bridge on which the accident oc-
CURED is 200 feet high. and it was con-
sidered miraculous that both trains
were not precipitated to the bottom OF
the ravine.
A mistake in orders Is believed to
have caused the wreck
