only do not object to it's going to
neutral countries, but we, in fact, are
anxious that 1t should go in order
that there shall be minimum incon-
veniences to the neutrals concerned
1T Is obvious what the loss Of
German and Austrian markets will
mean to American cotton growers.
We fully realize that IL there Is no
German and Austrian outlet prices
may 60 down and that Americans
will suffer unless some means are de-
vised for compensation.
Proposals in that direction have
been made and are receiving careful
consideration. What will come OF
them l can not say at this time. Ger
tainly l am not at liberty to imply
that favorable action will be taken,
nor will say that it will not.
"All Americans must be fully
aware OF the complicated and gigan-
tic character Of any scheme of this
sort and the study it will require be-
fore being put into operation. / hope
America will not be impatient, but
will rest assured that the govern
ments OF the Allies will give every
consideration to the legitimate inter-
ests OF all neutrals."
At a meeting held last week in
London to impress on the govern
ment the necessity OF declaring cot
ton contraband, Sir William Ramsey,
the scientist, declared cotton was the
only substance required for the man
ufacture OF munitions with which the
Germans could not supply them
selves.
He said no chemical products can

ammunition. Sir Charles Macara,
president OF the Master Cotton Spin
ners' association of Great Britain,
presided, and Sir William was the
principal speaker.
An inspired statement published in
most Of the newspapers deprecating
the action to make cotton contraband
and intimating that negotiations with
the United States on this subject were
proceeding lessened interest in the
meeting but both the presiding ofri-
GERS and speakers were insistent that
immediate action should be taken.
In opening the meeting Sir Charles
said he had no doubt manufacturers
OF explosives had consumed a large
part Of the cotton surplus created by
the war and added:
I'VE must utilize our command of
the highways of the sea, both ply
sically and automatically, to prevent
cotton reaching enemy countries,
while at the same time acting fairly
In the interest Of neutral countries" :"
He was sure the government had
given anxious consideration to this
complicated problem and said there
| was no doubt that the stocks of cot
ton accumulating at Liverpool had
shown an improvement was taking
place, but that 1t was necessary that
| strong and well considered measures
| should be carried out to keep cotton
from the countries with which Great
Britain was at war.
Sir William Ramsay, who second
ed resolution passed demanding
that cotton be declared contraband
asserted that while substitutes fol-
cotton could be used in making nitro.

the "ballistic power" OF cotton, and

THOUGHT HIS LIFE
IN DANGER


Sam Schmitt, Russian, who has
been employed on different farms in
Tabor for several years, ran into
town Saturday night to seek police
protection, as he thought that two Of
his fellow countrymen were attempt
ing to take his. life. When asked as
to the reason for their action toward
him, he claimed it was jealousy over
a girl. No trace or description of
the men could be procured and as his
story was rather questionable, he
was put in the cooler by officer
Pearson over night. In the morning
he seemed to be in his right senses
and was given ticket out of town,
much to his relief.

Mr.. and Mrs. James Florence. of

son, the last named driving, Sunday
enroute to Grand Forks. Despite the
heavy rain they continued on their
way, and when they were about 8
miles west of Warren; their car skid
ded and ran into the deep ditch be-
side the grade. The machine was
running at a rapid rate and when it
struck the ditch bank, it hurdled it
and landed upside down in a grain
field The top was up at the time and
it no osdoubt afforded considerable pro-
lection to the occupants of the car
and saved them from serious injury.
As it was, Mrs. Florence had her col.
lar bone broken, but the others re-
ceived no hurts that amounted to any
thing.

THE SANE FOURTH

AS result of the movement start
ed a few years ago for rational cell
ebration Of the Fourth Of July, casu-
alities consequent on the observance
Of the day have decreased at sur
prising rate. Last year they were
less than one-fourth Of the number re-
ported five years ago.
Moreover, cases Of Fourth of July
stetanus have become almost a thing
of the past. Back in 1903, the deaths
from lockjaw caused by independence
day accidents numbered AT. Last
year only three fatal cases were re-
ported to the national health author
tiles at Washington.
In the campaign for sane Fourth,
emphasis has been put on the danger
attending neglect Of trivial wounds,
particularly those made by blank
cartridges, paper caps and the like.
This, in large measure, accounts FOR
the decreased mortality. Parents are
learning that no wound or burn is too
insignificant to be overlooked.

.MIDSJJMMER'S DAY BAND
CONCERT A BIG SUCCESS

The Warren City Band appeared in
their full dress uniforms Thursday
evening for the widely advertised d
open air concert, that they rendered in
a very professional manner. The pro-
prana consisted Of twelve numbers,
some Of which were composed by
Swedish musicians and were appro-
plate for the occasion, which is a
Swedish holiday. All that can b e
said about the playing Of the organ ?
ization is that they all played in a
very excellent manner. The leader
Mr.. Youngblood deserves credit fo i
bringing the band up to such high
standard. A fine souvenier program
was issued by the boys and distrib-
uteds among the large audience tha t
was present from this city and sur
rounding farms and neighboring g
towns. i +

DO WE WANT A
ss UNIVERSITY WEEK q

sDdnan Oshier. who is connected
with theaExtension Division Of the
State University, spent a few days
in the city trying to interest our
people in holding a so called ttUni-
versity week" next year, to take the
place of the present Chautauqua. AT
this "week" the university furnishes
the talent partly FROM its own teach
ing force and partly from other
sources. A number of towns in the
state during the past few years, have
availed themselves Of University
week" and have been we'll satisfied
with the character of the educational
and entertainment features that have
been offered, preferring same, it was
said, to the average chautauqua.
Next year owing to deficient approp-
ration for extension work only
twelve towns can be supplied and
Warren can be one of these, if it SO
desires. The university requires $500
for the service, but receipts above
that SUM go to the town. From the
financial point Of view, the .univer-
sity service is to be preferred. But
the time when it can be secured may
not be the best, perhaps, as it would
be either the first or second week in
June. The chautauqua committee
deferred making final arrangements
until the sentiment Of the people is
ascertained.
Mr. Oshier is an acquaintance Of
the c. A. Tullar family with whom he
had pleasant visit while here.

CROPS AND THE WEATHER

Warm weather and plenty of mois-
ture is forcing the growth of all
crops this week. In some parts of
the valley there is complaint Of ex-
cessive rains. but in Marshall and
northern Polk counties; we have had
just about the right amount. The
big rain last Saturday was really
cloudburst in parts Of Norman coun-
ty according to reports, and few
low fields are inundated, damaging
the crops. With us nothing like that
has happened. Wheat has a green,
healthy color, stands thick on the
ground, and the early sown is COM
mencing to head out.

VIM. Forsberg and Justice Carlson,
deputy sheriffs, returned on Monday
from Glendite, Mont. with John Skog
one Of the recently escaped prisoners
from the county Jail together with a
woman companion, in custody. After
breaking out of Jail, the young men
had first gone north, crossing the
Red River west of Stephen. Then
after circling around some on the
Dakota side, they had boarded q
train for Minneapolis. There John
Skog with a woman friend attired
in mems clothes boarded Northern
Pacific train, riding on the blind
baggage as far as Moorhead, where
they were put off. Catching another
Northern Pacific train little west
of Fargo they again rode on the
blind baggage until put off at Glend-
i've, Montana. In that town a num-
ber of petty thefts had recently been
committed and the chief of police
had orders to hold and examine all
suspicious looking strangers. a tell
tale letter found in the woman's
pocket made the chief of police
think that possibly they were fugi-
tives from justice and he notified the
Minneapolis police. The Minneapolis
authorities Immediately teiephoned
the facts to sheriff Hanson, of this

STATES HORSES ARE
HIGHER IN QUALITY

3 The quality Of Minnesota's horses
is improving. The average value of,
horses in Minnesota in 1910 was Sill.
In 1915 it was $125. The change, ac-
cording to "A Report on the Horse
breeding Industry in Minnesota" by J.
S. Montgomery, University Farm, St..
Paul, is due to the fact that from 1910
to 1915 the number of pure-bred sires
increased from 37.4 per cent to 48.6
per cent Of the whole number in the
state. The number Of sires increased
from 1881 to 1850 in five years, and
the number of pure breds from 1927
to 1878.

In rather one sided contest, the
Argyle sluggers defeated the Warren
boys Friday evening by a score of
to 2. The Argyle boys came down
loaded for, bear and under no circum-
stances did they intend to lose the
game. 1twas this determination that
played foremost part in their secur-
ing the victory from the Warren
team. The locals started out in the
first inningAby bringing in score and
not until the seventh inning did Hal
bert Of the visitors let another War
rem man reach home plate. The game
was undecided until the fifth inning
when the Argyle aggregation punched
their hits and brought three scores to
their credit. Halbert for Argyle re-
ceived fine support and their boys
proved to be sure hitters. Tillotson
on the other hand for the locals
pitchedsa fair game and if he had re-,
ceived the support that was due him
the. result would not have. been so
uneven. Another thing that showed
weakness on the part of our boys was,
that they were unable to place their
hits out Qf reach Of the Argyleites..
