NEW YORK LETTER.
New York, Oct. 3Oth 1913.


stirred and profusely pleased with
The Administration programme for
uatioaal defense Even the most
ardent pacihcists are indorsing the
idea of a big Navy and of a strong
Army. while the voices of those who
protest against "militarism" are
mild and weak.
The adoption of the Presidents
programme has been accepted as a
matter of cours St, and the cher dis
cussion is as to the methods of hnan-
cling the billion dollar Job of making
the Army and Navy fit the country
that has so completely outgrown its
present military equipment.
The feeling here seems to be that
the situation requires a loan, and
that it would be a good deal more
American to finance our own buSi-
ness of making this country pre-
pared for any emergency than to go
on financing Great Britain'S losing
war.
In fact most bankers and capital
lists who have money to invest
would turn with positive relief from
the unneutral backing of foreign
powers, for manv of those who were
led into that undertaking by the
overwhelming influence of the House
Of Morgan are heartily disguSted
with the whole business, especially
since the public has absolutely re-
fused to support the syndicate. In.
dications are that only $50, ,000,-
900 of S5OO,O0O,OOO issue will be
taken by the publsc, and the syndi'
cate managers have withdrawn half
the offering as unSaleable,
With the Far West refusing to
touch the Franco British bonds, the
Middle West irigid toward the issue,
ard the South hostile, the Eastern
subscribers are hurrying to unload
their purchases, The investor, be-
sides the sentiment against the loan,
cannot fail to recognize the proba-
hi!ity of steadily declining quota
tons for the issue when it comes in-
to the open market at the end of the
sixty-day limit. Therefore it is no
wonder that these bonds fail to lure
investors and that bankers are un-
willing to push such securities 4
All of which makes it unlikely
that the skilltul financial commlss'
toner's of the Allies will be able to
place the next loan of $250,O00, 900
which was to have followed closely
opon the absorption of the present
issue.
How much the Allies need loan
upon loan is indicated not only by
the fact that Great Britain has
heaped up a deficit of six millions in
the past year, but also by the fact
that the balance of trade is now
close to $170,0O0,000 a month in
favor of America. Evidently the
$500, 100000 loan will not serve
long to sustain sterling exchange.
The feeling against these loans has
been aggravated by the fact that
while it was announced than Russia
was to have no part in it, it is now
revealed that practically half of the
haIt.blllion goes to meet the
Obligations of the Gar
1t was possible in some quarters
to arouse some sentiment tor the
loan on the ground that England
and France are sustaining some
ideals closely related to those for
which America stands, but no such
plea can be made for the barbarous
I - nnuprn,,,ant

Farm Plans for 1916.

Now is a good time to begin your
calculation for next year. Take in
to consideration the acres OF land
vOu have 10 farm, the number OF
head of stock YOU will have to feed
and carry through the winter Of
1861, and the following summer.
Calculate the amount of corn, hay
and forage necessary for them, and
then calculate the number of acres
YOU will need in corn and hay, and
other crops to keep your stock. Do
not underestimate your needs, nor
oyerestimate your yield. Prices Of
feed are always high when the
shortage comes. Be sure and raise
enough. Be safe If YOU put in
spring oats, also put some kind Of
clover Oh the same ground. Red
clover, sweet clover, alSike or lepe'
deza will do. Use the kind the land
will grow. Do not undertake tql
follow oats with late corn. 1t will
not pay. 1t will do to SOW cow
peas after cutting the oats. The
same is good treatment after wheat,
especially it Won plQw under the
second crop of pea vines Just before
frost. Cow peas make a good hay,
and improve the land. Soudan
grass makes a fine hay, and can be
cut from two to four times a season,
but scudan does not help the land.
1t is hard on the land, and TO get
good results requires good land. Do
not overlook the truck patches and
garden. Plant plenty of potatoes,
tomatoes, beans, sweet potatoes,
peanuts, pop corn, watermeIons,
cabbage and such like Then turn
your attention to your staple crop,
whatever it may be, but do not
overcrop yourself A small crop
we'll cultivated, is much more
profitable than large crop poorly
cultivated. Now is the time to
think about these things, and plan
ahead, You have your experiences
of the past year right before YOU
now, and experience is good
teacher.
Be sure and raise your own meat
next year. One good litter of pigs,
well-kept and pastured and fed, will
make enough meat for a family of
six people If you haven't the brood
SOW, get her at any reasonable
sacrifice, and remember that it is
as easy to raise a crop of hogs as to
grow a crop Of anything else Plow
all the land you can between now
and Christmas. Break deep, and
turn under all weeds, grass and
stalks The weeds that grow on
your land take plant food from
same. Turn them under, and you
put it back; burn them and you lose
it. See? These simple suggestions
carried out on the farm in Arkansas,
| believe, will make the whole State
prosperous, What do you think
about it? Do you believe it; lfso,
adopt them and improve them. II
YOU don't, write to me, and make
me some suggestions. | am your
servant and want to help you if |
can. If | cant, then want you to
help me, so can help someone else.

THE coNTENANTAL LEADS

Other Health and Accident Companies
Follow.
You know what 1t means when
somebody tells you, that this, that
or the other health and accident
policy is "as good as the Cont
mental Casualty Company's' may
be you feel like arguing the matter
but
there's never any doubt about the
Continental Casualty Company's pol
icy.
It was the first company to write
complete protection policies, the first
to employ colored agents, and has
kept pace with progress of the coun-
try; it is the largest of all health and
accident companies and is the only
one that operates in every state in the
union.
During the year 1914 the Continental
collected, approximately, twice the
amount of premiums, in the State of
Minnesota, as it's nearest competitor,
and paid out in claims more money
than any other company collected in
premiums.
This large volume of business en-
ables the Continental Casualty Com
pany to give it's policy holders little
better protection for a little less
money than any Of it's competitors.
We want your business. May we
not talk it over with you?.

Berlin Newspaper Says in Editorial Article Scoring America For Un-

Berlin, April 21, via London. 12:4s p. m.-The Post, in an editorial ar- ticle entitled "The American troubles casts doubt upon the genuineness of the accident which caused the ground ing of the Japanese cruiser Asama in Turtle Bay, Lower California.
 The paper says there are two pos sible explanations of this incident. One is an effort to put pressure upon Washington to relieve the situation at Picking, while the other Is m attempt to secure a naval base in Mexico. This would touch America's sorest point, the paper says, namely, the Monroe Doctrine. America must either give Japan a free hand in China or demand that Japan leave Mexico. This latter would mean war.
 Continuing. the paper says: Ger many would view such a war with mixed feelings. While we do not do- sire a victory of the yellow race over the white, nevertheless America he's no claim to the love or respect of the Germans We would be satisfied to know that this country, which first be- came q state at an expenditure Of German blood and German energy, should, from its present condition of unsympathe hetic contentment, come to know the bitter necessities of war"
