BUMPER CROPS.

tremendous contribution to pros porous conditions is made by the crops of the country and there is thus gem uine cause for elation over the an- nouncement of bumper crops this year, the value of which is placed at five and a half billion. Last year was a record breaker in many ways, but with full recognition of the demands that were going to be made upon this country in supplying outside wants, preparations were made for meeting them with the result that the agricul- tural production is this year given a money valuation half billion greater than the rating of last year.
 This is a most satisfactory showing. It means much to the farmers of the west and south, but it also means much to every line of industry throughout the country for with in creased crops there will be increased credit and that means that there is going to be a corresponding increase in expenditures. Mortgages will be paid off and the improvements which have long been needed are going to be made while there will be larger sums to put into the regular channels of business.
 This is reflected by the report of salesmen who are showing orders which have exceeded anything for a long time to come, especially when one announces the sale of 100 autos of which just half went to farmers. for when they are spending their money in such improved means of transporta- tion they are certain to utilize it in others for the general good of do- mestic industry.
 With big crops and the country flooded with war business there are promises temporarily however, for an unprecedented prosperity which to a large extent has been thrust upon us despite detrimental legislative action

ARBITRATION AND DELAY.

The latest American note to Great Britain meets with the approval of the country because it stands up for the rights of the United States as a neutral nation. It causes some sur prise in Great Britain, but that is only what might be expected, whichever nation received it. while Germany is said to approve, although it considers the action too long delayed. The for eign views therefore are only the nat ural ones in view of the disadvantage or advantage which is expected to re- suit therefrom
 After all has been said and done, however, there is little to indicate that the note will result in any immediate relief. The note refrains from giving any indications as tos what this coun- try would do in insisting upon the observance of its rights. It carries no threat but it reiterates the position which has been set forth on previous occasions and it sets forth the de- mands in no uncertain terms backed up by international law and procedure in other wars.
 What action Great Britain, backed as it will be by the other allies, will fake remains to be seen. That there will be a delay is certain and it is not improbable that it will mean the ex- change of notes for some little time to come with the probable result that the entire matter will be referred to ar bitration in accordance with the treaty In existence between the countries This gives promise of no immediate relief, but rather a long delayed de- cision, barring the possibility of some minor concessions. The protest, how ever, has been filed and it is easier to become reconciled to delay in this instance inasmuch as the rights do not involve the lives of neutral sub- jects and non -combatants.

Stories of theSWar
When Allied Troops Landed at
 SaIoniki.

When Allied Troops Landed at
 SaIoniLd.
 There was an international flavor to the crowd which watched the landing of the first allied troops at saloniki, a large number of English and American Red Cross workers having come down from Belgrade and NiSh to await the course of events at the Greek port. Several of these eyewitnssses reached England this week. The Rev. A. H. Sewell chap lain of the Red Cross detachments in Serbia, spoke in enthusiastic terms of the completeness, quiet and speed with which the allied expedition dis embarked and of the unmistakable cordiality with which it was received by the populaee.
 "A British vanguard reached Sal oniki on September 30th," he said, consisting of Brigadier General Ham, ilton-whom everybody mistook for Sir Ian Hamilton-and his staff. with following of twenty strapping Brit ish Tommies in brand new khaki.
 Both officers and men made them selves as inconspicuous as possible in Saloniki, their purpose being merely tc inspect the camps prepared for the landing force some two miles outside the town. Four days later reports gained general currency that the ex- petition was already waiting in a huge fleet of transports outside the haFbor. There was academic discus sion among the pepulace as to the ethics of a landing and crossing of neutral Greece, and one hears sugges- tions here and there that it was just what the Germans had done to Bel gium, but nowhere was there any at- titude of hostility to the allied plans. Indeed, when opinion was expressed at all, 1t was in terms of cordial well come.
 "On October the transports began to arrive in the harbor proper. They were crammed with French troops, which poured over the grangplanks onto the Serbian quay. The Salon iki newspapers published two pieces | of news side by side-first, that the ] Greek government had lodged pro test against the landing; and. second. that the Governor of Saloniki harbor had given orders to clear it, in order | that no other traffic might interfere with the comfortable disembarkation l of the addied forces. That typif1ed ! the whole operation: Greece had en- tered formal complaint. but was shut

A BIG OPPORTUNITY.

When the report by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce shows that tho import business which this country has done with South America during the month of September, amounting to over $ao.oo0,0oo. was al- most twice that which was done in the anne month of 1914 there ie reason
 believe that the efforts which have
 4n made for closer relations with
 republics Of that continent arc ringing results. On exports the same ratio of gain is shown. for where there were goods to the amount of nearly s15 .00o, 900 sent to South America in BgptArnber. sherc was but $S,000. 900 worth in 1914.

cARELEssNEss WITH FIREARMS.

This is the season of the year when carelessness with firearms is brought to light in no uncertain manner by the large number of people who are killed by hunters in mistake for big game, and despite the experiences of the past there appears to be no diminution in such a waste of human life.
 Not all the instances of reckless handling of hunting pieces and small arms are confined to the hunter in the field, however, for there are altogether too many instances where it prevails in the home. Allowing children to play with guns which were not thought to be loaded, the playful pointing of a loaded revolver at another and snap ping the trigger only to be prostrated by the killing of the person aimed at, or the leaving of loaded weapons where children can get them. which of course they are anxious to do without understanding the fatal consequences Ehich are in store are all old stories l,:eir appalling details as regularly as the seasons roll around.
 t wos o,.is 4 few days ago that a LItchficld father left his shotgun on the kitche: table While one child looked into tce two barrels another fondled the trigger and death stalked in as if by invitation.

Mention of the intention to teach German in the higher grades of the grammar schools was sure to raise the superficial question, whats the use?'' Whether it be algebra, Latin, science Or what not. there Is always the phil istine with his practical" objection. Meanwhile, there is abundant justif- cation of the teaching of German in the grammar schools. If only one modern language Is to be learned, by all means let it be German. It is a noble language, and knowledge of it opens to the students one of the rich est literatures in the world. Of course the objectors cannot be expected to see this point, but it exists just the same. So the managers of our edu- cational system may as we'll go ahead with their plans. They will have the support of the understanding.-New Haven Register.

The many friends of the Mercer

had dropped dead at his home in
this city. Mr.. Mercer and family
moved to Malta about two months

ming the dray line purchased Of Mr..
McCreary, and during their short
residence in this city had made num-
erous trends. Mr.. Mercer was
around town all day attending to
business matters and apparently in
his usual health, and his death came
as shock to the community. The
remains were shipped to the old
home in Minnesota Tuesday morning
for burial, accompanied by his en-
tire family and his sister, Mrs Reed.

BAD AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT.

Sunday afternoon Richard ToWEe
was seriously injured when his Ford
car overturned. Mr.. Towne, wife
and two children AMI Mrs. George
Hewitt were returning to Malta
from trip in the country and in
crossing the new bridge across Milk
daughter Ada and Lufelia Lenoir,
who were on the bank of the river
near the bridge and were waving 10
him. He seems to have lost control
of the car at this time and instead of
making the sharp turn at the end Of
the bridge to come up to town, ran
the car straight down the embank-
ment until it struck tree and top
pied over pinning the occupants un-
derneath. Two men who were near
the scene of the accident ran to tho
car and righted it and got those un-
derneath out, when it was found
that none were seriously hurt except
Mr.. Towne, who had his shoulder
blade broken.
1t being near time for the even
ing train Mr.. Towne was taken to
Glasgow hospital in order that an
x ray examination could be made
to see how badly he was hurt. Mrs.
Iowne accompanied him.
Mrs. Hewitt and the Towne chill
dren were uninjured except being
badly shaken up. Reports from
Glasgow are that Mr.. Towne is slow
1y recovering, although the injury
will be a painful one for some time.
