Bankers Want Food Statistics.

The Wyoming Bankers associa-
ton is starting a campaign to as
certain the amount of foodstufs
that will be produced in Wyoming
this year, and the production by
counties. This will presumably
be used as a basis for determining
what this state can do toward re-
lieving the present food crisis.
The secretary of the association
has issued the following request to
the farmers and ranchmen of the
state:
please advise your bankers the
acreage you have planted or will
plant for crop production for the
current year, this to include all
grains and vegetables, giving the
acreage of each class. This infor-
nation is for the purpose of ascer-
tanning quickly what may be ex-
pected in the way of production
in Wyoming for this year and
ought to be in your bankers hands
as soon as possible. 1t will there
be classified and used for deter
mining the possible production in
each county"

man, and had been stopping in
various parts of the county for
several months. Little is known
OF the man here, save that he spent
most of the month of April in
Saratoga and vicinity, tuning and
repairing pianos and other musical
Instruments. He was of German
parentage and a pianist of no mean
ability, though addicted to the use
of strong drink. From his con-
versation it was evident that he
was we'll educated and had travelled
widely, and he was a most inter-

bers of the association and their
wives The secretary of the asso-
citation informs us that although
some of the members are not so
fortunate to have a wife, two plates
will be reserved for each, so 1t is
up to the bachelor member to
rustic a lady companion.
The dance in the evening will
be the event of the season in Sara
toga. Mr.. Young is negotiating
for a real orchestra to furnish
music on this occasion and states
that he will have the very best
music obtainable in this section of
the state.
No expense is being spared in
the preparation for entertainment
of the stockmen and it is our
guess that the 1917 meeting of the
association will be the best in its
history.

motor boat Scaldis ran the blockade

mirals flag, and arrived safely in
Holland with a load of prominent
Belgian refugees. The incident has
aroused much interest along the
whole length Of the Scheldt.
The Scaldis formerly belonged to
the Belgian government and was con-
fiscated by the Germans, who fitted
her lnxuriously for use by the high

Van Dingen, was given the post of
captain because Of his intimate
knowledge Of the river. He frequent
ly had the governor-general on board
and from the mast there generally
flOated an admiral's flag. for which
every guard on the river and canals
showed respect.
Jeff" early this month determin-

al GO-tO-Sunlay-Sch Day.

Every dcvout Christian in Oconee
county has very rare and special
opportunity OF doing his or her "bit'
toward making this day as GLORIOUS
day. for God and the Sunday schools.
There are hundreds Of people in this
county who do not attend Sunday
school at all. 1t Is the purpose OF
the Sunday School Convention and
also OF the county officers to enlist
these people in the various Sunday
schools Of the county. This task
cant be accomplished unless we go
about it in Il cooperative way. This
is the time when "Gidcon's faithful
three hundred" should show their
c0lOrS. Any one walking on the
streets Of Walhalla, Seneca or West
minister on Sunday morning during
the hours OF Sunday school can see a
large number OF men and boys, and
sometimes young ladies, who ought
TO be in the Sunday school They
will be found at their "old trade" on
November ( unless somebody gives
to them a warm and hearty invita-
tion to attend Sunday school on that
day. Il, is the unhounded duty Of
every Sunday school worker ircgard-
less OF denomination to do his or
her very utmost to make this day an
cventful one for the Master and Ills
great agency-the Sunday school. So
many people are only waiting for
some one to come and show their in
terest In them, by inviting them to
the Sunday school.
When one gets vision Of the great
work that the Sunday school has
done in the past. and the marvellous
work that ii is accomplishing at the
present for God. surely, oh, surely,
yc hosts OF Gods Sunday school
workers, is ii not high time that we
were saying, from the very depths of
our hearts. with the grand old
prophet, Here am |, send me" after
that boy or girl. man or woman who
does not attend the Sunday school?
am sure it would not be asking
too much Of every Sunday school
worker to pray that each and every
church in Oconee county might be
filled full on November 4, 1917. If
tho nnenlisted are enlisted, If the in
different are made to feel Interested,
they must be dealt with in a Christ
like way. would that every one
who has the cause at heart would
consider himself or herself men,
Der of the universal invitation COM
mlttee and go out and make a great,
big. earnest drive for the ones who
stay away from the church's school,
as this day has been set apart by the
Governor OF our State to be observ-
ed as "Recruiting Day" for the
Sunday schools, let us make it the
biggest Of all the days for the Mas
ter's sake. and also for the Sunday
schools sake. in this county. Then
we can go out with the immortal
words OF the old hymn on our lips: !

Amsterdam, Oct. 10.--A mutiny
among the crews Of four battleships
Of the German fleet has occurred at

ships was the Westfalen, whose cap

Nurnberg was overtaken by destroy
crs and forced to surrender.
Emperor William went to Will

Of every seven mutineers be shot.

the result that only three were shot.
Heavy sentences were imposed on the
others.

mutiny had been suppressed
The chanccllors objections to the
Emperor's order that one mutineer in
every seven be shot. was on the
ground that he could not assume
such responsibility before the Reichs-
tag.
One OF the reasons for the mutiny
was bad and Inadequate food.
The Westfalen is IL battleship Of
lS,6OO tons, built in 1906. The Nurn-
berg is new vessel. She is name
sake OF the cruiser Nurnbcrg, sunk
by the British in the battle off the
Falkland islands in December, 1914.

Sardtns the plot discovered in the

inflicted on men in the navy for the
muntiny at Wilhclmshaven amount
cd collectively to 200 years penal
scrvitude and that several men had
been condemned to death.
Socialists Accused.
Copenhagen, Oct. lO.-In an
nouncing to the Reichstag yesterday
that a plot had been discovered in
the German navy to paralyZe the
fleet, Vice Admiral Won Capelle, the
minister OF marine, Is quoted in a
Berlin dispatch us saying:
at is unfortunately a sad fact that
the Russian revolution turned the
heads OF some persons in our navy
and introduced revolutionary ideas
among them. Their insensate plan
was to recruit representatives on all
the ships to cause the crews to refuse
to obey orders, to paralyze the fleet
and force peace upon the country.
1T IS proved that the principal
agitator conferred in this building
with the Independent Socialist fac
ton In the Reichstag, explained his
plans to Deputies Dittmann, Haase
and Vogtherr, and obtained their
approval.

on the subsequent event, which oc-
Cured in the navy. The few persons
who forgot their honor and their
duty suffered the penalty which
deserved. can only say that the
rumors which are in circulation are
exaggerated. The
