LAY
MINES OFF THE
SWEDISH COAST
SWEDES HIGHLY INDIGNANT OV-
Err THIS ACTION, NO ANNOUNCE
MENT BEING GIVEN - MINES
LAID BY NIGHT.

Stockholm, March Germany now
! has taken ner lOngeXpected action in
laying "A mine field around the Falster
DO peninsula near the southern eX
termity of sweden on the Baltic
scarcely three miles of shore. AS the
passage left is very shallow, nowhere
deeper than fifteen teet, most mer.
chant ships are Obliged to steam out,
side the mine field into international
waters, where German cruisers are on
patrol
The new nine field is intended to
prevent traffic in Con'raband along the
Swedish coast to Finnish ports, but
as the steamers used in this traffic
draw little water, seldom over ten
feet the mine field has not affected
them. All larger ships however, will
be put under G rman surveillance and
not even SWeden's navy will be able
to sail from the North Sea to the Baltic
nor the reverse without German pilots.
1t is understood that Sweden made
energetic representations against the
mine field being placed in this way
and that WilhelmslrasSe was willing
to drop the scheme if Sweden would
agree to prohibit contraband traffic
along her coas'. AS such step, how
ever, would present complications, be-
cause Danish and Norwegian ships are
largely employed in the traffic. and as
it was held that it would look like
toward the central powers,
Sweden, it vas said, refused.
The Swedish steamer Knippla which
struck mine and was sunk yesterday,
was the first victim OF the mine field
All on board ler were saved, but there
is great indignation among Swedes ov-
er the occurr nnce as no announcement
whatever vas given, and the mines
were laid b. night. Several Swedish
destroyers mad narrow escapes from
mines in this field.

CABBAGE SHIPPING SEASON
ON IN SOUTHERN TEXAS

Brownsville, Texas, March 2.-Thou
sands of dollars will come to the Rio
Grande valley farmers from now until
the first of May, with the opening of
the cabbage shipping season. Better
than average prices for the first of
the season have been thus far paid.
Thousands of cars of winter cabbage
are shipped from this section of Texas
annually, with a proportionate amount
of lettuce and other green vegetables
When the cabbage has been shipped
and sold under the Unit Marketing
System, the ground is Immediately
planted in corn. Little cotton is grown
in this section of the state.

and they must be permanent in or
der to have advantage Of the lew Be
sides the sinking fund which must
be raised each year by taxation, one
twcnty-iitth of the principal can be
paid each year, so that when the
twenty-five years have expired the
bonds are retired and the interest
sum grows smaller each year. That
provision was made especially for the
purpose Of using the gross production
tax on oil and minerals to retire The
bonds.
Carter county can well afford 10
take advantage of that law 10 build
permanent road to the oil ields
provided the oil tax IS not held up
and defeated in the courts. The oil
men will more willingly pay the tax
if the money is largely used 10 con-
struct good roads in the oil counties.
While such a road will BE convenient
to the oil men, 1t will be worth ntno
the less for the agricultural interests
of the county. If we use good Judg-
ment, we can use the oil tax money
to reyolutioniZe the county. We can
make land more valuable, We can
make farm life more profitable and
more pleasant. We can improve this
county so it will be attractive to the
best farmers of other counties of this
state and of other states. And the
general taxpayer will not be forced
to pay any of the cost, the money
used in construction work will come
from the tax on oil and asphalt. In
selecting commissioners to serve this ,
county another year this road improve
ncnt should be considered by the /,
people. Men who are progressive !
md clean and businesslike should oc-
'upy those important places on the
}oard of County commissioners.
