 Count LuXburg in one telegram sent to the Berlin of flee showed that Germany tried every method possible to align the South American countries against the United States.
 One message, with as recent date as August first, from Count Luxburg stated that President Irgoyen of Argentina had decided to conclude secret treaty with Chile Bolivia and possibly Peru for protection against North America This was to be used as leverage on all other South American countries.
 The Argentine Republic denies any such transaction

THE BEAUTIFUL DEAHE I'LL GULL GULF COAST COAST
GULFPORT, MISS.

Mississippi is land of romance
and Interesting history, and she has
furnished some famous men who
have had spectacular careers. Mis-
sissippi was found by old world ex-
plorers to have a fine climate and
many Vaccinations. Two Centuries
ago DeSoto, Joliet, Marquette, her
vile. Bienville and LaSalle had a
vision of the civilization of Missis-
sippi of today. Mississippi has had
one hundred years of statehood and
she expects to celebrate her Centen-
NAL near Gulfport in 1919.
At Gulfport is railway pier ex-
tending one mile into the Mississippi
Sound 1t gives dockage facilities to
foreign vessels and makes the har-
Dor gateway to the interior of the
state. and south to the Panama Canal
region. Gulfport is thus famed, to-
gether with it's land connections
along the line of the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad for its accessible
ity from and to all points north,
south, east and west
The city of Gulfport has attractive
homes, fine churches and schools,
and an aggressive wide-awake people.
She. has also about her fruit lands
and garden spots for the settler
from the North. She has in her

HIGH PRICES AND
COMMUNITY COOPERATION.

We are inclined to view the pre-
sent era of high prices as conducting
entirely to the benefit of the farmer,
and to regard him as very fortu-
nate individual. True, he is more
fortunate than he has been in times
past, but while he has been relieved
of some burdens he has been sadled
with others. Not all the high prices
have benefited him.
We are too apt to view the farmer
as living entirely on the farm and off
its products. In one sense this is
true, while in another sense not.
While his means come from the
farm, much of those must be ex-
changed for commodities that do not
come from the farm.
The farmer must wear clothes, and
these must come from the manufac-
turers and the merchants. He must
have farm implements, and these he
cannot make. lie must have wagons
and buggies, and, if he is to enjoy
life as his city brother, automobiles,
and the prices of these articles are
soaring in company with the pro-
ducts of his farm.
But what we started out to re-
mark was that the farmers can in
a large measure meet and overcome
the effects of the high prices of farm
implements by well-planned system
of cooperation. And it looks now
as though this plan will have to be
adopted. The demand for war sup
plies has diverted the energies of
many large factories, and a shortage
of farm implements is freely predict
ed.
In this event cooperation in the
purchase and use of the more costly
of farm tools used on the farm,
where one implement may be made
to do the work of several farms.
Every farmer knows what they are,
and it is unnecessary to enumerate
them. We merely would impress the
fact that wherever these can be
owned and operated comparatively,
it is not only economy to do so, but
it is also of real benefit to the coun-
try in this crisis. Every ounce of
energy that can be diverted from the
of farm supplies can be
devoted TO the manufacture OF gov
eminent supplies.
Every community in our country
should give this matter serious con-
this fall, while planning
for that record crop that will be
