DAMNlNG INDICTMENT

The staying by Il mad man of a pair of human parasites whose lives were less useful to the world than any one of those many millions who have been ruthlessly slaughtered since, was Ger many's excuse for provoking the war which she has finally forced us to join.
 Germany's invasion of Belgium was in violation of solemn treaty, re- spected in the modern world by all nations as something to be held in- violate and sacred, but which she held to be mere scrap of paper"
 Her devastation and subjugation of that country and the massacre of hts innocent people she claimed were due 10 the exigencies of war;"
 The destruction of the Lusitania, with the loss of hundreds of men, women and children; her submarine warfare since, in which even relief ships flying the Red Cross flag met
  "necessitated by acts of the enemy"
 These, and also her attempts to ar ray Japan and Mexico In alliance against the United States, together with many more things are all excel lent examples of the way the kaiser has of carrying on the war and what we ourselves may expect. if this hell fish product made in Germany" is not used to destroy the ones who made 1.-the kaiser and his military mad satellites.
 The men who have been guilty of such things must surely go before the world can be safe and democracy be enthroned on the high seats of hu- man and national affairs.
 And when they are gone, will sure ly arise a new Germany-the Germany of the German people: the republic of Germany; the Germany that will be one of the United States of Europe.
 And this new Germany will rise upon the wreck of the old Germany, and will know no king or emperor, no war lord; will acknowledge no monarch but the people themselves.
 And the new Germany will move forward in peace; clothed in a new majesty and guided by a new con- ception of justice, and by the gentle arts of peace alone will finally reach that place in the sun" which has been the kaiser's dream-mostly for himself

and for which he has plunged the world into the ghastly throes of war.
 When peace shall finally come, no conquered people will be the unwilling subject of this great republic of the west, but a free people, whose gov ernment we are now fighting will be our lasting friend.
 The white race bled while under the awful sacrifice of the most damna- ble atrocity into which the world has ever been plunged, can be redeemed only by the overthrow of the despot who caused it all.
 If ever a people realized the stipend ousness of the obligation it assumed in declaring a state of war it was the people of the United States. They realized it before the war pronuonce- ment and they realize 1t now.
 They realized also that peace is beautiful in theory and in fact but though they did and do deplore the awful task into which they have been forced, they also recognizez that there can be no peace while monstrous autocracy is plotting against the life and liberty of their nation and the peace and safety of the world.
 They are, therefore, in the war and in it to stay until the sword of jus tice shall cut down the deadly Upas branch of .autocracy and banish for ever from the seats of the mighty the last of the dastardly crew that can do such things regardless of the will and wish of the people.

VERA BUTCHKAREFF-- RUSSIANS FAMOUS
 WOMAN SOLDIER
Special Correspondence A. p.

It was the death of her husband which prompted Ensign Vera Butch kareff to enlist in the Russian army and eventually to organize the Wo- commander and which achieved fame in recent battle with the Germans according to facts received by the Russian information bureau here. Ac- cording to this information, Vera 'Butchkareff is a young country wo- man who went to Petrograd from her native village in the province of Tomsk.
 Having learned in May, 1915, that her husband was dead on the Ger man frontier, she made up her mind to continue the task which her husband began, and enlisted in the 25th reserve corps of Tomsk.
 After a comparatively short train ing. she went to the front with a company that was to fill the ranks. Colonel Stubindorf enlisted her as a regular in the 2Sth Polotsk regiment, Second army. For three months, VerA Butchkareff fought with a rife and on March 8, 1916, was wounded in the leg under heavy artillery fire hn a battle which took place on Lake Mar och. The wound notwithstanding, she remained at the front with her com rades who captured two lines of trenches and one thousand prisoners.
 On March 2. aft.r the commander and the captain were killed, she led the soldiers in an attack which re- suited in victory for the Russians.
 Afterward she went to the Austrian

front, and was wounded in her arm, while taking part in a counter charge near the Doukova Korehma. Neverihc- less she retained her position in the army But in the next charge, she was wounded severely by @ fragment of a shell. She was taken to the hos pital where she remained for four months. Immediately upon recovery, she went to Petrograd and saw M. Rodsianko president of the duma, to ask permission to organize company of women.
 In a recent interview. Vera Butch- kareff said:
 q saw the president of the duma and obtained permission to form a woman's company which is 10 leave for the front at once. We will set an example to the men soldiers, many of whom is understood the meaning of liberty. It is enough to point to the assertions, to the decentralization and to all the undesirable phenomena that are responsible for the disorgan- ization of our forces, I will sacrifice my life for my country and 1 am sure that I will find followers among women. Woman's mission is not only to give life to man but it is also mp to us women to teach men how to de- fend the newborn freedom"

ANTICIPATE FUTURE WANTS IN HARDWARE

An/ authority, on, conditions in the hardware trade makes the following statements: a.
 Factories. generally, have been working on steel bought at prices lowe- than the present maximum market quotation. Any stabiIizing of price, as recently agreed upon. by the steel. manufacturers, does mot materially affect the factories, as the now established price IS as high or higher than they pail --fQr7 the steel which they have. been using.
 "The labor situation is becoming more difficult. Labor IS scarce and is constantly demanding increased wages. This applies to all classes of labor; especially the great scarcity of skilled labor is affecting every manu- facturer.
 Probably no factory is getting any thing like it's normal efficiency. be- cause of the difficulties in receiving faw materials and the working con ditions of labor. Many factories are months behind. It will be impossible for them to catch up for . long period, even though no new OrderS were ac. eept1d

the section to make tremendous de- velopment, not only along business but social lines also. Between 1900 and 1914 expenditures for public schools increased nearly $50 per cent. The ne- gro, cotton's handmaiden, is sharing in this. Two million negro children attended schools in 1914.
 The South and it's cotton are doing their bit;, indeed, the bit began three years ago. The war cost the South, indirectly through the demoraliza- tiodn of it's markets, more than two billions of dollars during it's first two years. But there was little complaint.
 After it's many vicissitudes, the dangerous forebodings of three years ago it's spectacular course, varying from the farcial to the tragical, it can now be said that cotton has arrived and arrived to stay for quite a while. There may be a question as to what will happen to other things during the reconstruction days of the coming era of peace; there is none as to cotton holding it's own.

for the seed alone. But if it produc- ed neither seed nor lint the plant would still be nurtured for it's blossom, The furtlve bloom, with it's shifting colors and delicate shadings. is such that were it not made common-place by it's more singular fruiting, it would be sought by floral connoisseu-s.
 First day white, next day red,
 Third day from my birth I'm dead:
 Though I am of short duration.
 Yet withal l clothe the nation"
 The eulogy of the old field verse is modest. The cotton plant clothes four-fifths of humanity. But clothing is only one of a hundred practical creature needs met by it. A recent census bureau report shows that near ly 10000 baes are turned annually into bandages and other things for hospital and medical uses. The automobile in- dustry consumes hundred thousand bales or more: the electrical industry many thousands; there is scarcely an industry in which it is not employed.
 But the uses of the fibre, though greatest in volume of consumption, do not approach in variety or novelty those from which seed are employed. More nearly than anything else com- ing from the soil, the cotton seed can be made to meet all creature needs of man and beast. From the hull ma terial is obtained for the manufacture

tion, but believed by most Southern CTS to be impossible. Both Japan and Great Britain are laying great plans for the production of needed cotton within their own dominions. Ulti- mately they must do so or allow this country to dominate not only raw cot ton but the cotton goods trade. Their success i'll producing cotton so far has not been startling but to them is en- couraging.
 Demand for 4O,OOO,OOO Bales.
 The time is approaching when world demand will call for 4O,OOO,OOO bales. Will the South hold it's own in that ad- vance? It has the soil. The vital la Dor problem, however, is threatening. The section gets little immigration; thousands of negroes are leaving. Cot ton is still "hoed" and "picked" by the methods of hundred years ago. Pro- duction per acre has grown but gath ering is as costly as ever. A me chanical cotton-picker would solve the labor question.
 It has not yet been decided whether the boil weevil, now infesting five sixths of the belt, is passing blight or an enduring pest. Many hold that in being a first class promoter of diversified farming and intensive cul- tivation it is proving blessing in dis euise. However, it's ravages are terri ble.
 Whatever may be the industry's value to the section, the South could get along without cotton. Already the staple has been relegated to secon- dary place in total values. Foodstuffs exceed it and manufacturers treble it. This new independence has enabled

of every article of wearing apparel from hats to shoes. Its kernal con- tains the elements of both bread and meat and actually is employed for both. It is entering into the food equa- tion by supplying many things from lard for breakfast biscuits to oil for dinner salads.
 Yet men now living recall when the seed were cast aside as worthless nuisance, like saw dust. They now account for an almost exclusive Southern industry with an annual out put worth nearly a half billion dol- lars.
 South's Prospects Bright.
 The South has in prospect a most gratifying, and at least for the next half dozen years, dependable in- come from its cotton. Based on pres ent quotations, the section should re- ceive in the next six years more than $13,O0O.O0O,OOO from that one pro- duct. This would include the return for raw cotton and added values to cotton goods and cotton seed oil pro- products manufactured there. It is a cash return, for cotton, alone of agri-: cultural products, goes wholly into the markets. None is retained for home use. The total above amounts to near ly as much as the coinage value of all the gold produced since the discovery of America. Cotton is singular in that, barring fire and water, it is yimperishable. Time, perhaps, improves it. It was by reason of this quality that Secretary McAdoo, in 1916, justified Federal Re- serve bank loans upon it at more than current market value.
 That quality permits indefinite hold ing. Heretofore the South has had to sell at prices fixed by Liverpool and New York because of it's financial de- pendonce on the money centers. Dur ing the past year Southern spots have sold above New York and Liverpool contracts. The South being able to finance the crop, a situation made possible by. general development and vitalized by the Federal Rerserve banking system, can now exercise the bargaining rights of the producer. The big danger ahead is outside competi-

HOG INCREASE IN
 U. $. NECESSARY

: To win the war We need more meat. To get an increased meat supply quickly hog brewing must be increas- materially throughout the country, and in in certain states an increase of 9 to 30 per cent in the number of hogs is requested by the United Statse department of agriculture. The situation is of great import ance. We must have plenty of meat for cur armies and the armies of the allies in the field, and sufficient meat for our civilian population and the civilian populaton of the allies at home.
 To have this meat, breeding ami mals must reproduce themselves so the offspring will be available for slaughter in the future.
 Hogs can be increased quicker than any other kind of livestock.
 Therefore larger number of soWs must be bred now, than in recent years.
 In addition to the fact that there is an imperative demand for more meat as a war measure, it should be now have an abundance of feed crops corn, oats. barley-with which to produce this necessery increase in the number of hogs. The demand for meat is certain and. it will be prof. itable to the farmer to market some of this heavy grain supply on the hoof.
 Per Cent of Increase Required.
 The increase in the number of hogs for various states, as recom- mended by the department, is as fol lows: Missouri, 50 per cent; Alabama 30, Iowa 25, Indiana 20, Illinois 20, Mississippi 20, Arkansas 20, South 15. Ohio, 15, Kentucky 15, Tennessee 15, Maryland 10, North Rrolina 10, Michigan 10, Nebraska 10, West Vir- ginia 5, and Georgia 5. The increase needed for the entire country is 15 per cent and is covered py the above schedule Other states than those named should breed no fewer sows than last year.
 The result of these increases will be to, provide sufficient animals to make the meat that IS absolutely es- sential to the feeding of our armies.
 Pork can be transported more read idly to troops in the field than can any other meat. Great supplies of bacon must go to the boys in khaki at the front. Unless now a large number of sows are bred, the amount of meat we will require next year will not be available.
 The estimated numLer of hogs is 100000 less than it was year ago in this country: and in the face of this we need more hogs than ever before. How can we get them? By breeding sows at once. ~
 Profitable to Farmers.
 The exportation of pork products has increased since the war began and will continue to increase during the length of the war. The foreign countries are devoting' their farming energies to food and feed rather than live stock productions. but they must have meat and they must get large, part Of this supply from us. < During the last three months the price of hogs in the United States has been, on an average, more than twice the average price for the five years from 1911 to 1915. In view of the large crops of feedstuffs in sight. however, it is believed that farmers will see the wisdom of taking every reasonable step to increase tn supply of hogs and hog products.

 Judging from the present outlook there will not be sufficient goods manufactured to satisfy the demands on many hardware lires.
