goods. Iron county's apportion-
ment for Red Cross work, will take
lots of yarn. To raise the money
to buy the yarn is the problem now
occupying the attention of the local
chapter. Several meetings of the
! officers and committees of the Iron
county chapter have been held this
week and ways and means for rails
ing the money discussed.
/ The Gogebic County Fair Asso-
citation has shown commendable
spirit in offering to come to the aid
of the Red Cross, arrangements
having been made whereby the To-
cal Red Cross may secure portion
of the receipts at the fair to be held
Sept. II, Is and IA. The Iron
county chapter has been furnished
500 family tickets to be disposed of &.
The tickets sell for $500 and en-
title every member of the family to
admission to the fair the three davs
For each ticket sold the local chap
ter will get So cents. Every effort
will be made to dispose Of as many
tickets as possible and it is expect
ed that neat little sum can be
realized in this way. Hundreds of
people from Iron county will attend
the tair and by buying one of these
tickets each family will not only
get the benefit of the fair but will
also be helping the Red Cross work
along.
The Iron county chapter will al
so have booth at the fair grounds
and the proceeds from the sales
will go into the chapters treasury,
the fair officials having given them
/ permission to install and conduct
the booth. Refreshments. confec-
tionery, etc. will be on sale at the
booth.
This afternoon and evening a
benefit performance under the aus
pices of the Red Cross will be given
at the Garrick theatre. A feature
picture, The Fortunes Of Fiji, "
with Marguerite Clark as the star,
will be the attraction. The matinee
prices of admission are 10 and 20
cents, evening prices IS aud IS
cents.
George G. Goetz, Red Cross field
/ secretary, will visit the local chap
ter in the near future, the date not
having been set vet. Mr.. Goetz
visited the Ashland chapter this
week. He confers with the var
ious coihmittee chairmen, gets a
line on what has been accomplish
ed and makes suggestions for the
carrying out of the work.
1t is hardly possible to empha-
size too strongly the necessity of
backing up the Red Cross chapter
in whatever it undertakes to do, "
said MIR. Goetz upon the occasion
of his visit to the Asland chapter
The Red Cross has been officially
chartered by the governmant as the
agency for relief and for supplying
many of the things that our sold
iers and sailors are in actual want
/ of.
1t may seem some times as il
the appeals from the Red Cross and
elsewhere were coming pretty often

PLANT MORE FO0DSTUFFS.
COKER DECLARES HIGH PRICE
FOR FOOD MEANS LOW PRICE
COTTON.
Makes Appeal to Farmers-Says Pa
triOtism and Self-Interest Demand
Curtailment of Cotton Acreage.

Columbia, April 19.-That high
prices of food means low prices for
cotton and that it is essential to the
success of the cotton growers that
sufficient foodstuffs for the nations
use be grown was pointed out by Da-
vid r. Coker, of Hartsville, chair
man of the South Carolina Civic Pre-
paredness Commission, in an appeal
to the southern farmers, issued today.
Mr. Coker who is a director of the
federal reserve bank of Richmond, Is
noted authority on plant breeding.
The appeal follows:
"Basic economic laws are immu-
table
when food is selling at famine
prices wage earners have little or
nothing to spend for clothing. Then
dry goods sales fall off. Dry goods
prices decline and raw cotton must
follow. On April May wheat (Chi-
cago) closed at s2.O7 and May corn at
s1.27. May cotton (New York; closed
that day at 20.5O.
To-day april 19) May wheat clos
cd at s2.41 and May corn at s1.46 IL.
MAY cotton closed today at 1880.
Rreadstuffs, therefore, have advanced
Is per cent and cotton declined per
cent. in ten days If breadstuns
hold at present figures or advance 1t
seems inevitable that cotton must con-
tinue to decline, unless new economic
factors appear to sustain prices. IL
Southern farmers should curtail cot
ton acreage and increase the acreage
in foodstuffs sufficiently to cut of the
5000. 900, 900 to s7OO,OOO,OO food bill
the South annually buys from the
West and North, that would be great
economic factor in support of cotton
prices.
"Will the Southern farmer blindly
continue a policy which works for
higher bread and lower cotton? Pa
triotism and self-interest both de-
mand that he raise ample foodstufs
for Southern consumption and that
he curtail cotton acreage sufficiently
to accomplish this.
1.-The farmer who does not do this
is blind to his country's call for
help.

sion for Civic Preparedness for

ON TO PETRoGRAD.
GERMANS ARE PREPARING TO
MARCH ON RUSSIAN
CAPITAD.
Bringing up Mighty Army and a
Plan Seems to be to Isolate Petro-
grad From the Active Army.

Petrograd, April 19-(via London).
German preparations to attack the
northern front, supported by Ger
man fleet, reports of which appear to
be we'll founded, bear out the war Of
flee warning recently issued that the
enemy means to march on to Petro-
grad. The preparations consist of the
massing of troops on the Dvinsk Riga
front and the concentration of trans
ports, warships and shallow draft
ships in Baltic seaports. A portion
of the German fleet is reported to
have moved from Kiel to Libau.
It is regarded here as extremely
probable that the plan is to cut off
Petrograd from the active army. The
German efforts 70 spread discomfort in
the Russian army have developed an
ingenious device of loading shells with
copies of Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg's Reichstag speech Of March
20, and firing them into the Russian
lines.

ATTEMPT TO ROB OFFICE.
Effort Made to Secure Naval Secrets
From Tillman's Office.

Washington, April 19.-In an ef-
fort apparently to secure secrets of
the United States government bear
ing on the war situation, an attempt
was made some time last night to
break into the Offices of Senator Till
man, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on naval aaffirs. That the
burglary was the work of a German
spy on the hunt for naval informa-
ton of value to his government is
not doubted by responsible officials
and senator's who learned the fact
today. The spy escaped.
The heavy mahogany doors Of the
committee room were badly splinter
ed and damaged The marks Of the
jimmy used in prying the doors are
plainly discernible. SO far as known
the attempt to obtain naval secrets
was unsuccessful. Nothing of value
in a naval or military sense was OBJ
tanned. The office was left in orderly
condition.

New York, April 19.-Complete or

together with the administrative per-

AGAINST CoNsCRIPTION PLAN
Expectcd That Five of Seven South
Carolina Representatives Will Op-
nose Bill.

Washington, April 1'.--Five Of the
seven members Of the South Caro-
lima delegation in the house, it Is un-
derstood, will not support the mill
tary bill with the conscription feature
unless amended. These are Byrnes,
Whaley, Dominick, Nichols and Ste
venson The two who will likely vote
for it are Lever and Ragsdale.
In making his position clear today
Mr.. Byrnes was very emphatic. Il
do not think it would be wise at all, "
he said. 'in q district like mine, and
many others in the South, to pass a
general ,onscription bill of the kind
now under consideration. 1t is not
necessary for me to go into particu-
lars, but 1 feel certain people in my
district will understand why unless
there is some restriction or some
amendment which would permit of @
proportionate number Of whites ano
negroes that it would not do to pass
the bill.
Exactly how this is to be deter
mined do not know unless possibly
one Of the amendments providing FOL
the organization by the war depart
ment of home guards to be composed
of men who are too old or otherwise
DISQUALIFIED for service in the field, but
who would be eligible for duty al
home, is passed. Without something
of the kind, am against it,"
