NO GHOSTS EXIST, SOA
MISSOURI JUDGE RULES

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 20
Spooks! Are there or are there not?
That is the question.
Attorneys for E. c. Britt based
$4,000 Islander of title suit on the fact
that w. Fl. Eardley had testified that in
a big house in West Fifty-eighth street
Terrace spooks walked the halls with
hollow footsteps in the early hours.
Attorneys for Eardley argued that
there were no such things as ghosts.
and therefore, the mere fact that
man said that something which did
not exist haunted" the house was not
basis for a suit.
Judge Lucas admitted that he had
never met a ghost face to face and de-
clared the law did not have a speaking
acquaintance with ghosts. He sus-
tanned the demurrer, giving Britt's at
torneys ten days in which to file an
amended petition in an attempt to
prove SANDER by some other method
than ghosts.

IRISH EMIGRANTS ARE

DUBLIN, Sept. 29.-As result OF
tie restrictions of the emigration oil
males of military age from the United
Kingdom, the emigrant parties which
now leave Dublin twice a week are
largely composed of young women and
children.
They are sitting out from this port
at the rate of about one hundred a
week, the majority bound Off the
United States. Many who hoped to
settle down in the States are returning
denied admission for variety OF

Add Millions to Crops.

Last year." Mr. Hirsch said, cot
ton states bankers, by vigorous and
concerted warehouse and gradual
marketing campaign, are said, by an
eminent authority, to have added over
500, 100000 to the value of the cotton
crop, while this year, southern farm
ers, stimulated by south-wide public
ity campaign undertaken jointly by
southern bankers and southern news
papers, have saved millions of dollars
in feed stuffs produced at home, and,
at the same time, have automatically
held cotton production down to barely
the worlds requirements, and, as a re-
suit, the value of the 1916 cotton crop
will probably exceed the amazing to-
tai of $1,OOO,OOO,OOO."

paid particular attention to the work

'HOBO. is A WOMAN
MAKING LONG TRIPS

BROWNSVILLE, Sept. 29.-Inves-
tigation of two supposed hoboes, who
had been arrested and placed in the
barracks here, revealed that one OF
the pair belonged to the gentler sex.
Upon being arrested the pair gave
their names as Mat Smith and Bill
eSarey, but when Bill was found to be
woman they confessed to being Mr.
and Mrs. Arthur Bessent, of Jackson
vile, Fla.
They said they were on their way to
Milwaukee, Wis, and as they did not
have funds sufficient to pay their way
threre they decided to tramp it, the
wife being unwilling to be separated
from her husband. She felt that she
could make the trip better and easier

Bankers in South Active.

Southern bankers, it is said, have
have been particularly active be
cause of the need of agricultural de-
velopment has come more closely
home to the bankers of the south. Mis-
sissippi has done remarkable work in
the eradication of the cattle fever tick.
which has caused the south the loss of
untold millions of dollars; and to-
gether with Alabama it has made pro-
gress in the development of boys clubs,
in home demonstration work, and in
upbuilding of the live stock industry.
The Virginia Bankers Association sent
twenty boys through an agricultural
college course last winter and has
found this such promising work that
it is announced it is proposed to send
a hundred boys and girls to college
this winter.
Georgia bankers are doing similar
work, and in South Carolina many
banks have advanced funds for the
purpose of raising Of thoroughbred
cattle.
The Wisconsin bankers association
has stressed the importance of pure
bred grains and corn, has distributed
10000 monthly bulletins relating to
agricultural betterment, and has org
anized the famous bankers-farmers
excursion to the state agricultural col
lege.
Texas has been active in county
agent work, and last year the Bankers
Association there conducted cotton
warehouse campaign, increasing the
warehouse capacity of the state by
over 100000 bales, and the committee
is now conducting statewide cam
paign for increased livestock produc-
ton.

GREAT INTEREST
in AGRICULTURE
by THE BANKERS

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 29.-Pro-
gress made by the agricultural COM
mission of the American Bankers AS
ISOLATION since it undertook, five years
ago, to extend to every state in the
union the doctrine that safe and sound
agriculture means safer and sounder
banking, was reported by Joseph
Hirsch, of Corpus Christi, Tex, mem
Der of the commission, in an address
before the convention of the Associa-
ton here today Some of the things
that have been accomplished in the
several states he summarized along
the following lines:
Today forty-two of the state bankers
associations have standing committees
on agriculture.
Indiana, Illinois and Minnesota, have
been foremost in the development of
the consolidated rural and agricultural
high schools and good roads move
ment.
North Dakota has excelled all other
states in the union along the lines. OF
diversification and the change from a
one-crop to an intelligent, self-sustain-
ed livestock farming state.
In the state of Washington commun-
ity bankers and business mems as
sociations are being organized; Cali
fornia is conducting a vigorous cam
paign for the cooperative marketing
OF her products; Idaho has enrolled
over eight thousand children in clubs
which have raised products amounted
to over $4,000 last year.
Dat and Corn Weeks.
Michigan conducted "Oat and Corn"
weeks last spring, looking to better
seed selection and cropping methods,
and the state now has over so agricul-
tural schools, due largely, it is stated,
to activities of Michigan bankers.
Missouri has done remarkable work
with county agents, and the bankers of
that state have distributed thousands
of dollars in prizes for the boys and
girls clubs.
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and Okla
iona all report notable progress,
Iowa and Kansas bankers doing par
ticularly notable work in the distribu-
ticn of thousands of farm accounting
books. The Iowa association makes
the interesting statement that although
the farm and livestock industries of
the state exceed billion dollars an
nually, it is estimated that less than
ten per cent of the Iowa farmers keep
books.
Pennsylvania and Ohio are making
progress, with bankers in the latter
evincing lively interest in county
agents and children's clubwork.
Vermont and New Jersey are start
ing work, and the bankers even in
manufacturing Massachusetts, are de-
veloping large agricultural commit

MT. Liebling Compli. ments Birmingham's
 Musical Spirit

K TR. LEONARD LIEBLING, edi- MI tor in chief of the Musical 1vx Courier, who was so delight fully entertained by the members of Birminghams social and musical cir cles On his recent visit to Birmingham, complimented Birmingham highly on her spirit of music that is fast develop ing in the city, in the last edition of the Musical Courier, saying: coming from the indolent and slightly selr- satisfied south, we were peculiarly sensitive to the stimulative influence of the throbbing, thrilling, thriving city of Birmingham. It is 40year- old product, perhaps the youngest of the very important cities of the United States. The youngster had rapid growth, however and today it's utter ance and productivity are enthusiastically mature. We are sorry that these notes do not permit us to go beyond the confines of music. If we had the space to do so, we would love dearly to ex- patiate on the industrial and commer- cial deeds of Birmingham. They afford material for tales as intense and inter- resting as any stories of the border days or of the war times. There are whole novels, tragic, lyrical, passion ate, in the stories of iron, steel and coal which make the newer history of Birmingham"
 Among the musical and prominent people whom MT. Liebling mentioned in his story was Dr. Edmonds, about whom the following was said: "Dr. Edmonds, a Presbyterian preacher, is gifted with a very agreeable voice, and a good sense of style. He sang for us at the home of MT. and Mrs. Gunster. The selection was a drinking song, and We threatened to inform his congre- gation of the fact. The name of the song was, Drink to Me Only With Thine Eles. As Alabama is a so-called dry state, we suggested Furthermore that the number in question be used as the Alabama state hymn"
 Mr. Liebling was very compliment tary to the talent that was displayed in Birmingham and mentioned several very prominent persons in the musical and artistic circles of the city.
