The House had a windy and noisy ses
sion yesterday over the disclosure that
Count Bernstorff, while German ambas
sador here, asked his government TO aI'
thorize the expenditure of $4,000 TO in
huence Congress.
Representative Norton of North Da-
kota attacked Representative Eiefin
Alabama. who was quoted in local
newspaper as saying he could name a
dozen congressman who "had been acting
suspiciously"
Hefin denied that the interview at.
tributed to him was correct.
Representative Helm then made an cx.
PLANTATION among a flood of Interruptions,
ranging from groans to parliamentary
objections, complaining to the last that
he was denied full hearing.
Helms explanation was that he did
not know a single member of the House
who ever had received German money
in anyway and that he did not charge
that any had received il. He merely sus-
pected some because of their action, he
said. If the House had decided to inves
tigate his charges he would be glad to
name the suspects, he added.

named them you probably would strike

not seeking publicity, shouts of mol mol"

TO BRING RUSSIA AND
TURKEY TOGETHER
Plan, if Successful, Would
Give Him Control of
Middle Europe

Amsterdam, Sept 95,-In the light Of
special dispatch it becomes evident
why Germany in replying to the pope's
proposals for peace gave no tangible evil
dence of a desire TO meet the pontifical
suggestions. The kaiser is attempting
TO reach an agreement with Russia and
Turkey rs TO the Balkans, which, If con
summated, would give him control Of
middle Europe. Meanwhile Berlin sends
out story that Chancellor Miehaelis
may offer Belgium to the allies in ex-
change for German colonies and aboli-
ton of trade embargoes after the war.
The hollowness of the Teuton replies is
condemned by the entente press. The
Vatican very properly resents the insult
offered to il by the publication of the re-
plies OF Germany and Austria before il

ORANGE COUNTY FARMERS
ASSOCIATION NOTES
Notes for Week Ending Sept. %.

The county agent, in company with
three Randolph farmers, joined the Wind
sor County Farm bureau in an auto trip
over the north part of that county Sat
urday. Several interesting features OF
farm work were seen at the various stops
which seem worth calling to the atten.
ton of Orange county farmers. The use
of the tractor on the farm was ilustrat-
/ ed on two farms, on one the caterpillar
| type was seen drawing moving ma
chine and on the other standard type
machine drawing two plows. An inter
esting comment was that both of these
tractor owners had been surprised to
find that they were disable on much
sleeper hillsides than they had expected
Both men were well satisfied with their
machines and planned TO use them more
another year Pure bred stock of Guern-
sew Ayrshire and Jersey dairy breeds,
Devon oxen, suffolk and Morgan horses
and Tamworth hogs were visited at the
several stops. The plank frame barn
with its large amount of storage room
in the loft was well illustrated on two
farms. This type of barn should be
visited by every prospective barn build
er before he plans the old type. Alfalfa
showed success on several fields, lack of
incubation and lime causing failure, as
in Orange county An apple orchard
where spraying and pruning had been
followed for several years gave an excel
lent illustration of the possibilities of
apples in this country when well cared
for Thirteen varieties of ensilage corn
on one field gave a good comparison of
maturity and growth of the many yarie
ties farmers are now trying to raise.
More figures on these viii be given later.
Soy beans Of two varieties were proving
their merit on another farm. A market
gardener showed us his intensive farming
operations with many varieties and
crops. The value of seed selection of
was well illustrated on another
farm. And here comes the present appli /
cation of the do it now. Hill selection
now means better yield next year. |

tic than ever about the possibilities of

ty agent in these towns can leave word
with the community delegate.
The county agent is having market
reports on potatoes and apples daily. He
also has list. of commission men from

against God. They knew that to bow
down before this image was to disobey
and dishonor God. While they did not

right thing. These Hebrews were far

GOLDEN TEST-WEen thou waikest

ed: neither shalt the flame kindle upon
thee.-Isaiah 49,
=. The Occasion Wv. ID. The fact
that God said to Nebuchadnezzar,
Thou art this head of gold" (2:3S)
was too much for him. Though he ap-
peared to have been deeply impressed
with Daniels God. his pride got the
better Of him. AS he grew great and
became conscious of it, he grew proud
This moved him to set up a colossal
idol of gold in the Plain of Dura TO be
worshiped by all the people of his
realm. 1t was an attempt at self-deifi-
cation. 1t combined with It political
move, the object of which was to weld
together the various kingdoms and
peoples into one homogeneous body.
He inaugurated n religious festival,
and called upon all the people to wor-
ship the image which he set up. He
backed this demand by civil authority.
The penalty for refusal to bow down
and worship the image was to he cast
into the burning fiery furnace. Impos-
Ing images are set up in many places,
and men and women are being called
upon to bow down and worship them.
Some Of these images are money,
fashion, scholarship. worldly ambition,
pleasures, etc, and woe be to those
who will not worship before them.

envious spies wv. s-12).
Daniels three friends had been pro-
NOTED to positions Of honor md re-
sponslbllity. Certain Chaldeans whose
envy had been excited by the promo
don Of these Hebrews. sought occasion
against them. This they found when
the Hebrews would not bow down to
and worship the image. EnviOus eyes
are always watching Gods faithful
ones. Had these Chaldeans been faith

chance. The offense was not serious
they were defying the authority Of
the one who had honored them in their
promotion; It savored Of ingratitude.
After closely questioning them he gave
them another opportunity to consider
their position before consigning them
TO the fire. His supreme mistake was
in the challenge he made to the God
Of the Hebrews. he seems to have

had made with reference to God e :47).
