FARMERS SHOULD AID
THE COUNTY EXHIBIT
County Agent Urges All to
Contribute Something To-
ward Success of Movement

This being my last oppor-
tunity before the Exhibit to
reach the public through the
papers, | would again insist on
all who are interested in the
county and its prosperity, to
take part and contribute all
they can to the success of this
undertaking.
That we have as good eoun-
ty as is in the State, we firmly
believe, and feel that this has
been demonstrated, from time
to time in various ways; and
now, while we are trying to
develop the county along agri-
cultural lines, on which de-
ponds the prosperity and sue
cess of any country, do hope
that all will feel it their duty
and pleasure to contribute
something to this exhibit, there
by manifesting the interest that
should be shown by every 10y
al citizen for his County.
Let us not feel that this is
only for the boys and girls en-
gagged in Club work. They will
contribute their part. We are
glad that we have such boys
and girls. They are going to
show some of us what can be
done. Already some good re-
ports have been received. |
hope every member will have
something to bring to the ex~
hibit, and especially do | want
all record books turned in at
this time.
I hope every citizen of the
county who can will contribute
something to the success of this
exhibit, for after all it is for
you that it is being held, that
all may see what can be done
in our own county.

THIS U-BOAT A MYTH
Doubt Story of Seeing One Off Coast
of Georgia.

Savannah, Ga, Oct. lift a sub
marine is lurking in waters of the
South Atlantic coast as unofficially
reported yesterday. it had successfully
evaded detection today. Credence
given first reports diminished to such
extent today that Captain Glover. of
the British steamship Noya, cleared
his vessel this morning and announced
he expected to sail later in the day.
Persons familiar with waters about
Savannah today secuted the theory
that nearby islands could be success
fully used as a submarine base. While
there are many islands near this port.
practically every one is inhabited. and
passages about them are extremely
treacherous for navigator not thoroly
familiar with shifting mud banks. Os-
sabaw island, one of the largest, is a
game preserve on which caretakers are
maintained, and which Is carefully
watched for poachers. Hundreds of
fishermen get their living from waters
about Warsaw and Ossabaw islands.
A. NJ. Brookfield, British consu,
here, and local customs officials who
Yesterday said they had heard a sub
marine was off the Georgian coast,
but who then declined to give their
source Of information, today stated
that the report was based on street
rumors.( At noon nothing additional
was learned that would tend to sub
stantiate the report.

HUNT FOR SUBMARINES
British Flyers Sweep Atlantic in
Search of German Raiders.

New York, Oct. 11.-British aero
planes are reported sweeping the At
lantic in search of the German subma-
rine U-53 and others which may have
accompanied her. According to re-
ports received here today the ''subma-
rine hawks put out from Halifax and
sped away for the vicinity in which
the captain of the Greek steamer Pa
trio reported yesterday he was stopped
by the raider. The submarine net will
be spread far in either direction from
Nantucket, British officials intimate
They believe Captain Rose may turn
southwark. expecting to find there I'M
protected allied shipping to prey upon.
About 20 per cent of the passa ges
booked on the Adriatic which sails to-
morrow, have been Cancelled, accord
ing to estimates at the steamship Of
fices. The Philadelphia and the Min
nehaha also sail tomorrow, giving rise
to reports that they may sail at the
same hour and be met by British
cruisers as a patrol, outside the three
mile limit.

MOVED BY PITY
George AIDE Tells Why He Sup
ports Hughes.
Former Progressive Laments
Repeated National Insults.

Chicago, Oct. 11.-George AIDE, for
mer active Indiana Progressive, but
best known as the author of Fables
in Slang" has announced his deter
mination to support Mr.. Hughes.
In his explanation of his course he
says: When I recall what has hap
pened to this country during the past
three years, I pity all the good men
who are sitting around benumbed by
repeated insults and bewildered to
learn that their native land is regard-
ed by the rest of the world as a joke,
but the large share of my pity is re-
served for the poor historian of fifty
years from now who will have to ex-
plain away our shame SO that school
children will believe it.
Of late Mr. Wilson has been talk
ing preparedness, but his voice doesn't
sound natural. Why did he have to
wait eighteen months after the Euro
pean war broke out to discover that
we needed a regular army and navy
He did not speak out on the prepared
ness issue until Democratic politicians
had worn path to the White House
telling him what he had better say if
he wanted to reelected.
The Democrats said in 1912 that
they would reduce the cost of living.
All necessities and staples are now
higher than ever before. We do not
blame the Democrats for high prices.
We do blame them for continually
making idle promises. For instance,
how about their definite promise to
enforce economy and trim down APP
preparations? They have been in the
pork-barrel up to their elbows
