carefully as possible, but they are too
few to meet the bills. The institu-
ton is therefore face to face with the
fact that it cannot furnish the chill
dren with nutritious food and with
warm clothing unless the gifts of
Gods people are greatly enlarged and
quickly forwarded.
If the reader could only pass from
cottage to cottage and get acquainted
with the beautiful girls and the fine
manly boys and talk with them about
themselves, and about the institu-
tion, their work, the love of the chill
dren themselves would bring all that
they need, but only a few of those
who read this have opportunity to
visit the institution and know the
children personally. To such it is
only possible to realize the situation
if they can imagine their own chill
dren without father, without mo-
ther, without money, in many cases
without friends, housed in a wonder
full home where the leader, the adopt
ed father, is dead, and where there
is no one to provide.
We are trying to lay the matter
upon your hearts, gentle readers, that
you may be the more willing to share
the responsibility with us. "Inas-
much as we did it unto one of the
least of these, my brethren, ye did
it unto me-"

cents and stating that, in their opln-
ion, it was worth fully 80 cents. Sub
sequent facts have fully borne out
the wisdom of this declaration.
The most important action of the
convention, urged also by Georgia,
was the organization of the Cotton
States Official Advisory Marketing
Board, to be composed of the Com
missioners of Agriculture, the Mar
ket Bureau Director and the Far
mers' Union President of each of the
cotton states. This was the plan of
fered by the Georgia Department of
Agriculture and presented to the con-
vention by Director jackson.
The work of this organization
which will grow in Importance ev-
cry day, will be the marketing of
southern agricultural products at a
fair price, with cotton as the imme-
diate problem. Its headquarters will
be in New Orleans, the southern CEN
ter Of cotton trading, and it will
employ an expert statistician who will
gather facts about the cost of produc-
ton, in every county in the south,
as we'll as the cost of cotton goods
and the price obtained for them in all
| markets. It will be seen that the or
ganization is directly representative
of the people, as it is composed of
men chosen by popular vote in their
respective states.
The officers elected were President
Harry D. Wilson, Commissioner of
Agriculture of Louisiana; Vice-Presi-
dent, John A. Simpson, President of
the Farmers Union of Oklahoma, and
Secretary, L. B. Jackson of the Geor-
gia Market Bureau, who offered the
+ organization plan. The Advisory
Board will meet in Washington. D.
c., October 18th when an executive
board will be elected and rules and
regulations adopted.
.''In my opinion" said President j.
H. Mills of the Georgia Farmers I'm
ion, who is just back from the New
Orleans meeting, "this is the biggest
and best days work that has ever been
done for the farmers Of the south.
1t will mean millions and, perhaps,
billions to them, in the greater sta
bility which it will give to fair cotton
prices. Every Georgia farmer should
know of this organization, and what
it is going to mean to him; for it is
going to work right now in his in
! terests.
81 feel that we are done now with
mere resolutions and high sounding
speeches, and are going to get re-
suits. And one of the most crafty
ing things about it all is that Georgia
led the fight for this constructive
work.

Buenos Aires, Sept. 13.-The rioting
which began here late yesterday in an
anti German demonstration continued
thruout the night.
Every German business house and
restaurant in tho downtown district
was wrecked. The German club and
several other buildings were damaged
by fire.
The police wounded seven rioters Sc
riously when they fired into the crowd.
Three Of tho injured are expected to
die.
At first the crowds were so un-
manageable the police closed all the
streets leading to the German legation
and consulates. The archives in these
buildings were taken to the storage
vaults for safekeeping.

SPRINGFIELD STRIKE SPREADS.
Laborers Unmoved by Governor,
Warning Against German InfIuenos.

Springfield, ILL.,. Sept. 1s.-Unmoved
by Governor Lowdens warning yee-
terday that antiAmerican influences
were at work. the industrial tie-up
growing out OF the strike of street
car operatives became more acute to-
day when BARRIERS, grocery clerks
brewery workers and meat cutters
Joined the ranks OF the strikers.
Plumbers and electricians are
threatening to leave their work before
the day is over
In every case those who have
walked out declared their action was
not primarily in sympathy with the
car strike, but because police and mill
tary authorities had denied unionists
their right to parade last Sunday.
Estimates placed the number now
on protest strike at between 1000 and
5000. most of whom are coal miners.
Governor Lowden has said drastic
measures would be taken to control
the situation and martial law Is spoken
Of as a possibility.

Germans Pjllage St.
Quentin Before Setting
Fire to Cathedral

Paris, Sept. 13.-(Correspondence OF

according to the French claims, not
only deliberately caused the fires that
have partially ruined the beautiful ana
famous cathedral Of st. Quentin, but
pillaged the city before they set fire
to q part Of it.
The vandalism is laid to the door OF
officers and soldiers Of the 116th ana

rectly to the commanders Of these units

systematic pillage of st. Quentin as
soon as they entered the city.

diers from the southern part of Iowa
will demolish the trenches Of Huns and
furnish the barrage fire behind which
the infantry will advance to the at
tack when the FIRST Overseas Army
takes it's place on the firing line in
France
1t was learned here today that pre-
sent plans contemplate making the
3S9th artillery heavy field unit. equip
ped with 6-inch howitzers. Men from
the three southern tiers of counties will
go to the 339th.
To their lot will fall the hammering
OF the enemy's defenses, the destruc-
tion of trenches and barbed wire en-
tanglements and the shattering Of the
nerves Of the Germans in their dug
outs with incessant firing.
Four Of the big field guns will be
assigned to each battery. Until war
was declared, the United States had
just four of the six inch guns in its
military service. They weigh about s.

gasolene tractors or motor trucks.
The position of these guns will be six
miles back Of the front line trenches.
They will communicate with observa-
ton stations, the scouting aeroplanes
and field telegraph stations In direc.-
ing the fire from the guns.
After heavily bombarding the enc
my trenches, the fire of the guns will
be shortened until the six inch shells
fall just q short distance ahead Of the
American trenches. When "zero," the
hour set for the advance, comes, the
fire will be lifted fifty yards or so
ahead and the infantrymen will attack
in waves. At intervals the barrage fire
will again be- lifted and the shells
dropped just little farther ahead, the
infantry following accordingly. When
the enemy trenches are near, the bar
rage will be lifted altogether and the
advancing soldiers will jump forward
to catch the Germans in their dugouts
before they can come forth to repel at
tack. If the front line Is taken, upon
signal the barrage fire will be resumed
to prevent reinforcements from coming
up from the second line trenches Of the
enemy. The artillery will continue the
fire until the ,infantrymen are estab-
lished in their captured bitches.

WHO KILLED CHARLES XII?
Autopsy on Body Of Swedish King Dead
200 Years.

Stockholm. Sept. 13.-(Correspond-
ence Of the Associated Prese)-tAn
autopsy on King Charles MI, Sweden g
warrior king, killed in battle almost
200 years ago, to determine whether the
shot thru the temples which caused his
death came from the enemy's lines or
from an assassin among his own men,
has just been made here In an effort to
solve one OF the mysteries Of history.
If the bullet entered the right tempe
1t would indicate that it came from
Fredrckshald fortress before which
the kings forces lay entrenched. while
a shot from the opposite direction
would show that 1t was fired by a
traitor In his own ranks.
The scientists who are conducting
the investigation have not yet an
nounced their conclusions and will not
until they have made an effort to mt
together the pieces OF bone taken from
the wound Indications, however, are
that the bullet came from the right
side, and therefore came from tho
enemy. The wound on the right side
is small, as tho an entering wound,
while tho left side was almost blown
away.
