The Russell Show.

The Robert L. Russell show
has been playing to large crowds
every night this week. 1t is
located~iR biz tent on the, Scott
lot just west OF the square. The
combination of several breezy
vaudeville sketches, good singing
and dancing, and a good short
play each night, has proven very
entertaining. This is not a pre-.
tentious show and it is not a
nigh-priced show. That is just
what we like about it. 1t makes
no claim that it does not fulfill.
1t is a good show for the price-a
better show, in fact, than the
price would indicate. The salient
feature OF the performance, as we
have heard repeatedly remarked,
has been their cleanness. There
has been nothing to which the
most hyper.critical could object.
The acting is good. Martini,
the acrobatic performer, is es-
pecially worthy OF note. Excellent
comedy runs throughout the
performance. The dancing and
singing is intne hands-et, capable
performers. There will be aper-
Torrance every night this week.

Experiment Station.

Demonstration workers for the
past two years have been making
annual visits to the West Tennes-
see experiment station at Jackson,
with view Of inspecting the
crops and gaining all information
brought out by the station force.
So interesting and instructive have
these visits been that many farm
ers have requested that a similar
trip be made this summer. The
matter having been taken up with
Messrs. Tate and Nichols, they
have completed arrangements with
Mr.. Morgan and other station
forces to entertain the Weakley
county delegation on Tuesday,
July 10.
Arrangements are under way
to obain reduced rates for all
making this trip. All demonstra-
tors, co.operators and corn club
boys are requested to try to make
arrangements to make this visit.
Also all farmers and all others
interestd are given a cordial invi-
tation to go with us.-R. E. Ellis,

1t is reported that he stuck his

few days ago and blood poison
had set up, causing tetanus, but
not in a bad form. AT this writ
ing he is much better.
Rev. Mccoy filled his regular
appointment at Salem Sunday
and delivered a very able dis
course.
Our people in town are having
some very heated discussions
over a move to vote bonds to
complete the sidewalk and put
in a system of water.works.
Seems to me that it would be
proper to kill the water issue and
place lights in its place. This is
just a suggestion as we have
nothing to do with it.
If the rain continues to come
as it is there will be the largest
corn crop harvested here this
fall that has ever been known in
the history of the country.
Mr.. G. Y. Beard tells me that
he has roasting-ears at his home.
This is the first that we know Of.
AS we drove up to church
on last Sunday we noticed that a
terrible smoke was coming out Of
Mr.. R. s. Roberts buggy and we
made an investigation and found
that his robe was burned. The
fire had consumed half the robe
and was in the act OF blazing.

FORMULATION OF POLICY
TOWARD GERMANY
To Be Considered by President VIII
son and Secretary Lansing.

Washington, July 1S.-With the re-
turn here tomorrow of President Will
son the formulation of the policy to
be pursued by the United States as a
consequence of Germany'S latest note
on submarine warfare will be begun.
The president will collaborate with
Secretary Lansing in completing a note
to the German government that has
been tentatively prepared to be des-
patched probably before the end of the
coming week.
While details as to the course which
is to be followed are withheld, it is
known that both the president and
MIR. Lansing have practically made up
their minds that the next communi-
cation to Germany should contain a
definite statement regarding the con-
sequences of further violation of
lihood that there will be any further
discussion of the principles involved.

United States with no munitions or
contraband, officials here feel that the
position of the United States as stated
in its previous notes, has been ma
terially strengthened. They declare it
bears out the American contention
that the character of a vessel, her des-
tination and cargo can be safely de-
termined only by visit and search.
AS yet official information is lacking
to show whether the Orduna was at
tackled without warning and what were
the circumstances Of her encounter
with the German submarine. In dis
cussing the case stress is laid upon
the fact that the vessel was enroute to
the United States and carried no car
go of importance, making the attack
on a vessel carrying Americans SEEM
ingly wholly unwarranted.
A statement of the circumstances
probably will be made by American
passengers aboard the Orduna to the
state department, although the Amer
lean government might take cogniz-
ance of newspaper statements. A thor
ough investigation of the facts will
be made and a request probably will
be sent to the German government for
its report Of the affair.
