TRUE TO THE OLD FLAG
Pledge Unqualified
Loyalty to United States.

Philadelphia, Feb. 8.-Three million
members of the German American AL
lance are pledged today to "unquali-
fled loyalty to the United States,
should this government be forced into
war with Germany.
The resolution, read by Rev. julius
Hoffman, pastor of Zion church, Balti-
more, and secretary of the alliance, de-
clared that the organization will con
tinue its collection of funds for the re-
lief of war sufferers of the Germanic
allies Should Germany and America
open actual hostilities, however, every
penny of it will be turned over to the
United States for military purposes.
Nearly 100000 already has been col
lected by the alliance and sent to Der
lin through Ambassador Won Bernstorff.
DR.. G. j. Hexamer, national president
of the alliance, and the ID members
that constitute its national committee
attended. They represent by proxy 2S
states in this country and the 100000
German American members.
DIR. Hexamer denied efforts had been
made to keep the meeting secret, but
he said it had not been announced be-
cause the German American Alliance
needs no patriotic Advertising John
Tjarks of Baltimore, chairman of the
committee, presided.

HIGH MARK FOR FARM VALUES
Cottonwood Farm Sold Last Week for
S1O6 Acre.

The high water mark in the price of
Camas prairie farm land was reached
here Monday when Alois Holthaus
closed a deal for the purchase Of the
Andrew Popp farm of $50 acres south
east of town, together with all stock
and machinery, for 100000 The price
quoted by Mr.. Popp was $4,000 for the
place without the personal property or
$4,000 as it stood and Mr.. Holthaus
decided to take it all. At this figure
the land brought the fine price of $780,
% per acre, which is the highest price
that has, to our knowledge, ever been
paid for farm land in this county.
Every foot of the land is tillable and
the place is one of the most desirable
on the west side. While the price paid
may seem high it is only a forerunner
of what may be expected here in land
prices within the next few years, for
there is no reason why Camas prairie
land should remain below the $3.50 mark
while farms in the middle west that will
not produce as much are selling for
twice that figure.
Mr.. Popp has not decided definitely
what he will do but is contemplating a
trip later in the year to South America
to look over lands in Argentina.-Cot-
tonwood Chronicle.

ficient work is expected. A dance will
follow the musicale and lap supper at
midnight will be served at the hall.
Rev. G. t. Cooley drove over from
Westlake last evening and is spending
today in this vicinity. The reverend
gentleman is very anxious that a church
and parsonage be built here right after
the farmers get through their first busy
spell of caring for their seeding. There
is hardly question now but that Fer.
dinand will have a church edifice and a
resident pastor to look after the work
this summer. All things having be,
