FRANCE GIVEN NEW
 COMMERCE CREDIT
Purpose Is to Pay American
 Creditors in United States

New York, Aug. 24.-Brown Bros. & Go. announce the completion of ne- gOtlatiOnS for the extension of a sec- | cond commercial credit to France. The new credit is for $25. 900, 900 and was arranged with ten French banks, un- der the auspices of the Banque de France, to facilitate the export to France of an equivalent amount of American merchandise.
 The new credit runs for one year and is to be availed of by ninety day sight drafts. It is secured by colla- teral, consisting of French government bonds which are held in New York and payment in gold at New York at maturity is guaranteed by the Banque de France. A number of other firms and banks participate with Brown Bros. & Co.,. in the advance.
 It was just a year ago that France arranged a similar commercial credit here for $20, 100000. This has not been exhausted, 1t was said yesterday, and the advances made under it are being repaid as fast as they fall due.
 The purpose of the credits is to en- able American exporters to be paid in dollars in the United States, elim- mating the risks of exchange. and so
 
 French buyers of American merchan- disc and other comm odities, who have found it difficult to obtain exchange with which to settle their accounts in the United States. to make payments through their own banks.
 With this credit Frances borrow ings in the United States since the outbreak of war total nearly half a billion dollars. Besides her half in terest of s250, 100000 in the Anglo French loan and the s10O, O,OOO,O0O re- gently borrowed on collateral, France got s10,OOO,O0O in one-year 5 per cent. Treasury notes and $30, ,000,- 900 on per cent. Treasury bonds.
 Both of these loans have been re- paid. She arranged the commercial credit on Aug. "A, 1915, which Is now being renewed. and obtained $500 900 on a collateral loan made through the Rothschilds on Pennsylvania rail- road and St. Paul bonds. Two accept ance credits, totaling $30, ,O0O, were also arranged here. These loans amount to $495, 100000.

FATHER OF GIRLS
 HE HAS ADOPTED
Millionaire Accused by Woman in
 Death-Bed Confession

Chicago. Aug. 24.-Joseph Burn stein, a junk dealer, whose two daugh- ters were adopted by Edward N Nor rison eighty years old and owner Of millions of dollars of Chicago prop erty, faced the old man in the United States District Court here yesterday and accused him of being tbe real fla ther of his newly made wards.
 Edward N Morrison is himself the father of the two girls he adopted" he told Judge Kenesaw M Landis. My wife confessed it to me on her deathbed''
 Judge Landis gasped and blinked. Then he turned to the old millionaire who sat near, collarless, and twisting his long beard with thin fingers.
 Did you hear that?" he asked.
 "I don't quite understand" Morri- son faltered.
 He says that you are the father of these two girls"
 The old man almost shrieked as he leaped from his chair. He shook his fists in front of the witness who gazed back stolidly.
 Its false,' he cried. Its a lie.''
 He choked and dropped into his chair, panting. Burnstein took up the thread of his testimony calmly.
 '"The first time I met MT. Morrison he said was at my wifes funeral two years ago. We went in the same carriage to the cemetery told him my wife had confessed to me on her deathbed that I was not the father of the two girls. I told him that she had named him as their parent He admitted the relationship and said, Never mind. I will make it all right, l will take care of them
 Action Over Property.
 The action before Judge Landis grew out of a petition to appoint a re- celVer for Morrison's properties, Which are believed to be worth $S,- ooO,Oo0 It was contended in this that the city of Chicago, under inc Will of Morrison's father, would ie- celVe II the man died childless, the entire property for educational pur- poses. It was also alleged that Mor- rlson had adopted these two girls, Anna, eighteen, and Alice, sixteen, to prevent this bequest.
 The millionaire is said to have given away more than $2,00OOOO of hls es- tate to friends in the last seven years.
 When, after a severe cross question: ing by Judge Landis, Burnstein still stuck to his story, he was excused

LIEBKNECHT SENTENCED
Original Penalty of Thirty Months In- creased to Four Years and Expul- sion from Army.

Amsterdam, via London, Aug. 24.- The result of Dr. Karl Liebknecht's s appeal against his sentence for war treason has been the imposition of a new and severer sentence of four years and one month penal servititude and expulsion from the army, according to a despatch from Berlin.
 The appeal of the socialist leader was heard on Wednesday before a supreme court-martial presided over by a naval captain. The other mem- bers were two lawyers, two majors, a captain and a lieutenant. Liebknecht was defended by Herr Bracke of Brunswick. The public was excluded after the hearing, but sentence was announced at an open session.
 In addition to his prison sentence Dr. Liebknecht Is deprived of his civil rights for six years. In announcing the verdict the court declared that the sentence was imposed flor att tempted war treason, severe dis obedience and resistance against the armed power of the state" The court announced that as the prisoner has already served one month of his sen tence he has the previlege of an appeal from the present judgment. The original sentence imposed was thirty months Imprisonment and dis missal from the army.
 Commenting on the outcome of the hearing, the semi official Wolff Bu- reau says
 EThe severe sentence appears justi- fled despite all the circumstances fa- vorable to Liebknecht, if one consid- CTS that he violated his duties as soldier and citizen in war time in the grossest manner and to the detriment of his menaced fatherland. Lieb- knecht himself admitted that by the distribution of pamphlets and by ar ranging public demonstrations he in tended the weakening of German war strength"

'WESTFALEN IS HIT
 BY E-23 TORPEDO
Germany Officially Admits Big
 BattleShip Was Damaged

London, Aug 24.-The admission by the Prussians that the battleship westfalen, which belongs to the Mas sau class was damaged by British torpedo in the recent fighting in the North Sea has gratifled the British public, as it is a proof that the British were not left at such a disadvantage in the most recent naval fight as ap- peared from first reports.
 The first account of the clash deb- : fled Great Britain with the loss of the two light cruisers, the Falmouth and the Nottingham, as against the destruction of one Prussian submarine and the damaging of another. The fact that Berlin withheld the news of some of her losses in her first official account of the Jutland battle is used as an argument to discount the state ments made. The denial of the Brit ish Admiralty of the Berlin claims is accepted without reservation.
 The account now stands as figured on the British side, the loss of the Nottingham and Falmouth, whose crews however, were nearly all saved against the certain loss to the Prusians of a big battle ship dam @ aged and, according to the belief of the commander of the attacking sub marine, possibly sunk, one submarine sunk and another damaged
 There is great rejoicing here over the exploit of Commander Turner, of the E-23. His successful attack in a fight in the open sea is taken as dis proving the contentious of those who +1n mi nf marine in such warfare.
 The official statement from Berlin, reiterating the claim that a. British battle ship was struck by a torpedo in the recent North Sea fighting, was met with an emphatic denial from the British admiralty. The secre- tary of the admiralty issued the fol- lowing statement:
 !, There is not particle Of truth in this fantastic story. No ship was struck except the Nottingham and the Falmouth, whose loss has already been officially announced"
 The admission of the fact that the westfalen was hit and slightly dam aged on Saturday by British torpedo came in 8 semi i-official telegram from Berlin late yesterday, according to Reuters Amsterdam correspondent The Westfalen, however, It IS de- cfared, continued capable of man oeuvring and soon will be repaired
 A British official announcement of Tuesday told of a torpedo attack by British submarine E-23 upon a Ger ~ man battle ship of the Nassau class in the North Sea. The submarine commander reported that while the ship was being escorted back to port in a damaged condition he attacked again and struck her with a second Gsrpedo and believed she was sunk. 9she Westfalen is one of the Nassau class of battle ships, displacing 1S,s02 tons. She was at first reported sunk in the Jutland naval engagement last May but afterward was declared by the German admiralty to be safe in @ home port.

iron, the stand and Morrison was re, called.
 Mrs. Burnstein and I were good f;onds,, he told the judge. When che found that she would be forced to % to the hospital for an operation which might kill her she sent for me. She had never been rich. l had plen- +, of money So she asked me if uvon1d take care of her daughters if eho should die. I promised her I would"
 Judge Landis then asked several tentative questions regarding the girls narentage These the old man an- severed evasively. He seemed dazed. Then the judge came out f1atly with:
 sThis man tells me you are the father of his wife's daughters. Is that true?"
 ''It is not" Morrison said, faring up weakly again To-day is the first time I have ever heard it." , Burnstein then was recalled to the stand. He stuck to his story.
 She told me Morrison was their father" he repeated. She told me on her deathbed."
 At the conclusion of the hearing Judge Landis restrained James Ward attorney to Morrison, from collecting any further rents on the property which his client had given him. He also debarred the lawyer from repre- senting the millionaire further during the proceedings.
 The old man, still dazed and nut tering to himself, left the court room badly shaken and supported by his friends A crowd of spectators fol- lowed him. He would make no cor1- ment on the accusation brought against him in the court. He )n1y fingered his beard and muttered'

Listen to this, Mr.. Farmer. The
cost Of raising potatoes in the eastern
states, particularly in Maine, which
is the greatest potato raising state in
the east, will be so high that it will
drive these farmers to raising other
crops. The price of commercial fer
tilizer, normally $4,000 ton, is now
$500. Last year it cost these grow
ers $500 an acre to spray; this year
it will cost them $500 an acre for
the same spraying, an increase in cost
of $4,000 an acre.
The finest potatoes are grown in
Minnesota without the aid Of COM
mercial fertilizer, because the ground
is new. And as we have to spray for
bugs only the cost of spraying an acre
should not be over 5000 this year.

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By G. c. BOWSfIELD

y
4 Minnesota reader asks for specific
Information as to the successful raising
and profitable marketing of geese. 1t
may be claimed with the utmost conf
dence that no domestic fowl viii grow
into money faster than the goose. To
q limited extent also 1t is true that
these fowls can be made to pay in any
part Of the country and belong in the
ordinary farm program, big and little.
Geese sell commonly in the retail
markets at a range Of 10 to 20 cents
pound, minus the feathers, which are
worth rs to 30 cents. As goose ten
months old should weigh fifteen pounds,
there ought to be q gross price of $3.50
to So. Then, allowing 80 cents for feed
and care, there is a profit of So or up
ward on each bird.
The market is never so Overst0cked
with geese as to prevent farmers OBJ
tanning these prices. The parcel post
enables those living considerable dis
lance from town to market their poul-
try direct to consumers at full retail
prices. It Is always possible for per-
sons handling poultry on large scale
to supply a regular line of trade. They

If You Own 7 Cows ,.=.
Buy A Separator
So Advises a Well Known Farmer
Who Has Facts to Prove
His Statement.

Amund Swenson of Rosby bought
a De Laval cream separator here this
spring.
He told us this week that he would
have saved $4,000 if he had bought
one four years ago.
In advising a neighbor to buy De
Laval separator, he said: "No farm
err with two COWS can afford to be
without a De Laval when he can buy
it on the terms offered by the Given
Hardware Co."
This is the experience of De Laval
user and you should profit by it. You
may have De Laval cream separator
set up in your home on approval at
any time, and pay for it on the easy
terms referred to by Mr.. Swenson.

may arrange with hotels and restau-
rants, boarding houses, clubs or private
families to take given quantity of any
line of produce. Many successful rails
ers of ducks, geese, chickens and tur-
keys have their private customers and
obtain top notch prices.
So long as the market stands on its
present high level no farmer can claim
that he cannot sell we'll fattened
goose for $3.50. The plain truth is that
all winter long every city and most of
the villages consume these meat fowls
at prices ranging upward Of IS cents a
pound. Where a farmer ships in
object is to pay the lowest and receive
the highest prices possible there is no
certainty of profitable returns. Neither
is there chance for fair profits where
geese do not have reasonable amount
Of clean range. They are birds which
require pasturage just as much as cat
tie do. It is one of the strong points
in favor Of goose raising that they
grow their fifteen pounds or more of
excellent flesh on a grass diet, the
cheapest food used by any domestic
creature
Where geese, ducks and turkeys are
raised without suitable range their
worth in market will little more than
equalize the cost of the grain or mill
stuff which they consume, but In my
estimate of profits it Is assumed that
the feeding will be along natural lines,
with only a small proportion of the
market value Of the fowls taken up in
the consumption of expensive feeds.
Geese require an extremely small per-
centage of grain products. Geese are
the hardest of domestic fowls, and
as they grow and thrive on cheap for
age, picking up in the fields and
around the creeks and ponds a large
part of their living, the proportion Of
loss is lighter than with other birds.
In view of these 1ncontrovertible
facts it is growing wonder that more
farmers do not raise geese, and then
it is equally a wonder that they do
not more generally establish parcel
post shipping direct to town families
that would be glad to buy their sup
plies fresh from the country. Too
many farmers are still committed to
old fashioned methods Of raising big
crops and neglecting the smaller side
lines. All over the west there are
thrifty villages and cities which make
good markets for poultry. In Mime
sofa, as In other well settled states,
the parcel post can be used to good
advantage in shipping supplies of all
kinds to the large cities within a rea-
sonable distance. Until producers over
stock these markets, they are not liv-
ing up to their best opportunities in
money making.
As to the best types of geese, ducks,
turkeys and chickens for farmer to
handle, just wish to emphasize my
belief that all the common or standard
breeds are good. For purely meat
production it is wise to select the
larger types, as they keep just as cas-
lily as the others and bring larger
price in market. Farmers who have
not heretofore made much Of their
poultry, but who desire to establish
this industry as prominent feature,
should correspond with hotel and
restaurant keepers, or with private
families in town and endeavor to Sc
cure definite orders for such poultry as
they wish to raise. .--~~-

Potato Crop For 1916 Will
Be Most Profitable In Years
Acreage Will Reduced Account of Cost Fertilizer PEG
pie Potatoes Regardless of High Pces Demand for
WiEyH. Product Be Great.

AS it will cost the eastern potato
raiser about $4,000 against cost
of about $500 an acre, we think we
have rather the advantage.
People eat potatoes regardless Of
high prices, and with the prospect
of decreased acreage in the east, the
demand for good Minnesota potatoes
should be great and will surely in
crease the price.
Our advice is: Plant More Pota-
toes.
Hoover potato machinery will do
the planting, spraying and harvest
ing quicker and easier. Hoover 2
horse one-man potato planters are
guaranteed accurate. Price $69.40.
In settlements where there is
enough acreage to warrant, we will
rent a planter at $1.OO an acre.
