NEW GINNING LAW

The new ginners' law is in opera
ton 1t is meeting with general ap-
prevail of the farmer and the ginner
with here and there some complaint,
and even threats of tests IN the courts.
But it is believed nothing will come
from it. 1t is possible under the OPP
GRAFTON of this law for the farmer to
haul his load of cotton to the gin and
have it ginned, settle for his ginning
and sell his seed on the spot. He can
take his sample and tell the glnner to
warehouse the cotton The glnnet
NAV turn the other sample over to the
warehouse manager who will send his
draw for the bale. The farmer may
secure his warehouse receipt from the
warehouse, take It to the bank. put T
up a. collateral ard borrow money,
then 90 to the merchant and apply t
to his account or purchase other sup
plies. or make such disposition of his
money as he pleases. It enables him
to become more independent He can
send his sample to the Department
and have it elassed by government
grader. in accordance with govern
ment standards. He can then sell his
cotton by the sample at any time
when he may consider the mar>et
most advantageous, without the neees-
sity of having to haul his cotton te
market over bad roads. 1t will SIM
plify the bonding and marketing OF
cotton and will bring the producer IN
to the position he is entitled to occupy
that of being master of his own al
fairs. The merchant knows the value
of the goods on his shelves when h
offers them for sale and the farmer
entitled to know as much wheE n
places his cotton on the market.

How Germana Attack.

1t has frequently been stated of late
that the German troops attack in mass
formation even in the face of machine
gun and shell fire, policy little short
of suicidal under conditions of modern
warfare. A Dutch army officer who
has been an observer on the front
says that this is not strictly so. He
states that the attack has the appear
ance of mass attack because 1t is
composed of successive waves of in
fantry. The rear waves are kept in
close formation to heighten the morale
Of the troops, but the attack is not
mass attack, strictly speaking. The
Germans charge in close order when
they have located what they consider
the weak spot in the line of defense.

less than ten seconds we had fired our
first shell Mt her.
Passengers hurried for their life
preservers. but no one was unduly ex-
cited. Some say the first shell we
fired hit her. but that was something
no one could tell. At any rate our
guns continued to fire for seven or
eight minutes, letting go thirteen
shells in all. and after that. there he
Ing no further sign or sight of the u
boat, we continued on our way.
The captain of our ship, at the first
warning, started to hit n zigzng
course. and all the other measures
now used on liners to circumvent the
undersea boats were brought into
play while the danger threatened.
Some of these measures are very
novel and ingenious and have helped
other ships as well ms ours In warding
of attacks. II wns the opinion on
board that to escape as we did, with
the perlscope so near us was mlracu-
lous.
THE man who sighted the perl
scope was the lookout on the port
gun. He had been scanning the
waters some time with his glasses
and was about to lay them down for
a minutes rest. However, whlm
struck him to first count some ships
which lay together at anchor close to
the shore. He called to his mates as
he did 50, beginning: 'One-two'-
then his glasses accidentally slipped In
his grip and fell on the precise spot
where the periscope was just poking
up Its nose. He was SO surprised
and taken aback that II was some sec
onds before he could blurt out Peri
scopep No one else saw II, and
1t is certain that II he did not spot 1t
Mt the moment he did 1t would have
gained the necessary time to swing
into position to launch Its torpedo.
Ruses to Lure Victims.
"The remainder of our trip passed
without exciting Incident, although
we received the usual scares that are
passing up and down the ocean these
days.
zone of the ruses of submarines to
lure ships to destruction is to at n
false exterior to the submarine and
equip her with sail to present the
appearance of small fishing boat.
Another is to put a collapslble lifeboat
In the water filled with dummy fig
ures to look like the survivors of
torpedoed ship and hide the periscope
behind her. Another Is to capture a
small vessel, put an officer aboard and
maneuver her to conceal from an ap-
proaching ship the half-submergcd
submarine which lies alongside.
There are others which It would not
be proper to disclose. A favorite
strategy OF the submarine, which.
however, can only be worked at GER
tain hours of the dny. is to lny well
off in the path of the sea and when
ship is seen and her course and
speed noted, to submerge and come up
suddenly at n convenient angle and
torpedo her"

And dangerous II seemed and
smelled On shore searchlights were
continually playing, and out of the

flashed.
Next morning the weather was
warm and clear. and the sea perfectly
calm. All around us we saw the VA

submarine, but it would not be proper
for me to mention here the methods
and devices that are being used.
Along about noon we noticed some
thing of commotion on the water
about mile away. ships hurryIng

all about we (the passengers) could
not tell, but some time later 1t leaked
out that II was submarine trying to

TOURNAMENT

Appleton, Wis, Feb. 13.-The twelf-
tn annual State Basket Ball tourna-
ment will be held March 20, 80, and
81 in the armory at Appleton, accord
ing to announcements sent out today
by the tournament officials at Law
renee college. Between sixty and sew
enty-fve schools have entered thus far
a larger number than at any previous
time during the history of the tourna-

has ever been.
Among the stronger schools that
now look like possible winners of the
tournament are Kenosha, Fond du La,
Appleton, Eau Claire, West Green
Bay, Omro, River Falls, and Ripon,
But definite prophecies cannot be
made yet, as there is always a big up
setting Of dope before the tournament
comes.
This year an official entry system
has been inaugurated for keeping all
scores on classified entry lists and e
Eliminating possibilities of error. An
