Increasing Fnrm Proiit.

We nave fsund lat almost In
yariably as the Kansas farmer in

That is tho conclusion arrived at by
G. =. Johnson Of the Kansas university
agricultural extension bureau. He
goes on to explain;
This does not necessarily mean an
increase In acreage, but may mean an
increase for stock and improvements.
And for this reason n the farmers

Prof Johnson was speaking to the

What he says about the ipCResse ql

A Republican Vote Of Confidence In
Wilson
To the Editor OF tho World:

To the Editor OF tho World:
In 1912 when Mr.. Justice Hughes
was member OF tho Supreme Court
and was asked TO become n candidate
for President, he said: "The man who
being In the highest tribunal would
consider another Office is fit neither
for the ono he holds nor tho one TO
which no asplros."
This utteranco OF Mr.. Hughes and
tho fact that many beneficial laws
have been passed to aid tho common
man, the small manufactures and tho
small merchant, will lead many Re
publicans who have never voted tho
Democrtic ticket I'm their lives to cast
their votes OH November z for Wood
row Wilson. It seems TO mo that the
Democrats arc not advertising the
achievements OF the administration as
they should. II seems TO mo there Is
n very striking contrast In favor OF
the Wilson administration between
the deficits in tho treasury I'm 1906,
1908 and 1909. aggregating over $96,-
100000. in time OF profound peace
throughout the world, and the surplus
of over $10O.OOO.OO0 piled up in the
treasury during the first three years
of the Wilson administration, in spite
of tho great extension of government
tai activities in building tho Alaskan
railway, completing the Panama
Canal, establishing the Federal Trade
commission and the Department of
Labor
Outside OF the extreme partisans,
those who make n living out OF Re-
publican politics, and the big fellows
who are having to dig up for the i'm
come tax, whose selnshness exceeds
their patriotism, there is going to be
a tremendous silent Republican vote
OF confidence given to President Will
son on November z.

been written IN the Office Of the Wall

What he says about the banking
and currency law. what be says about
Mexico. what be sAys about the eight

this interest or that interest Ia Wall

speeches about tho Adamson bill, Mr..

There was every evidence today that

For some time. according to men
who follow marine affairs. there had

TO keep open the path for American
made munitions OF war. One OF these
cruised between Halifax and New
York, another between New York and
Bermuda and the third between Ber-

Against Enemy Shipping Off Om
Coast-Commits No Breach of
Neutrality or International Law

NEWPORT. II. l., oct. g.-Thc
Wholesale raid on foreign shipping
south of Nantucket Lightship Sunday
was the work OF ono submarine, ac-
cording to reports OF American naval
officers. Rear Admiral Albert Cleayes
commanding the torpedo boat de-
stroyer notilla. which did such ro-
markably speedy rescue work yestor-
day, said tonight that tho reports of
all his officers agreed that To the best
OF their observation one raider only
was concerned. This boat presum-
ably was the German U-35 which call
cd at Newport Saturday afternoon 10
mail letter TO Ambassador Bernstorfr
and then put to sea without taking on
an ounce of supplies. although she
was seventeen days from her baso. ac-
cording to the statement OF her Off
GERS.
Admiral Cleaves said no could cas-
lily understand the positive statements
OF the captain OF the Nantucket Light
ship and OF sailors OF the torpedood
vessels that more than one submerai-
bic was concerned. Tho U-boat. he
said, was very fast and appeared TO bo
handled cleverly. II was easy, he
pointed out. for her to disappear on
one side OF n ship and then show up
unexpectedly at another spot doubt
less, he believed, she had submerged
and reappeared often enough TO mis-
lead any one but keen professional
observer and TO create the impression
that more than one sea terror was
operating.
This opinion would seem to be borne
out by the statement OF many OF the
refugees that the submarine had more
business on hand than she could take
care OF at once and was Obliged to re-
quest one steamer to wait her turn
while another was being put out OF
commission. Commander Miller of
the destroyer Ericsson. who witnessed
the destruction OF the Stephano, said
he was positive that only one subma-
rine was In the vicinity at the time.
Today the ralding had ceased, at
least for the moment.
The known list OF the victims OF tho
U-boats Sunday exploits remains at
six, notwithstanding reports from the
Nantucket Lightship that three other
ships, the identity of which could not
be learned. were sent TO the bottom.
There also was persistent rumor,
without yeri6cation. that a British
cruiser, one OF the allied patrol fleet
sent to the submarine zone. had been
attacked.
Ten more refugees were landed here
tonight by the Melville, tender of the
destroyer flotllla, which picked up ten
Chinese members OF the crew OF the
steamer Strathdene. They were sent
to the training station to be held until
immigration inspectors can pass upon
their cases, after which they probably
will be transferred to New York.
Destroyers swept the waters on a
wide area today in vain search for
the crew OF the steamer Kingstonian,
who were seen by members OF the
steamer Strathdene TO take TO their
boats before their vessel was sunk.
