BARK SUNK OFF ATLANTIC COAST

Washington, d. c., August 1.-The
Portuguese bark Porto was sunk by
a German submarine $50 miles off the
Atlantic coast July q. The navy de-
partment announced today that the
crew of eighteen men had been land
ed at an American port by British
steamer.
After overhauling the bark the sub
marine destroyed it with bombs
placed in the cargo of cotton. No
further details were given, but it was
assumed that the crew were permitted
to take to the small boats. The Por-
to was bound from Savannah to Opor-
to.

CASH MUST NOW Be
PAID FOR FREIGHT
Railroads VIII No Longer Credit
Those Receiving Frelght-Ex-
pressmen Ask the Cash.

A Washington dispatch says After
midnight Wednesday railroads begin
to collect millions of dollars in freight
charges on cash basis by orders of
Director General McAdoo abolishing
the old practice of extending credit
to big shippers. Payment of freight
bills now will be required nominally
on the day the shipment is delivered,
although this has been interpreted
as permitting a day or two in which
to mail the freight bill and transmit
check in return. BY furnishing
bond most large shippers have ar
ranged for delivery of freight with
out requiring separate payment for
each shipment. In these cases, rail-
roads will render bills covering a
number of shipments, and as long as
a week may be permitted in which
payment may be made

REGISTRATION BOOK WILL
DECIDE RIGHT TO VOTE
Presentation of Certificate Is Not Re-
qnired In Primary Says State
Attorney.

Frankfort, REPRESENTATION of
registration certificate is not essen
tial to the right of voter to partici-
pate in the primary today, in the OPP
inion of First Assistant Attorney Gen
eral ID. o. Wyatt, who. said the law
apparently makes the registration
book itself the authority for permit
ting a man to participate.
This department has consistently
held that way" Mr.. Wyatt said. "The
Court of Appeals has held in gener-
al election case that the voter must
have his certificate, but the wording
of the primary law is peculiarly diff
ferent"
The primary law says that where
registration is required no elector is
entitled to vote unless registered In
the registration book" excepting
those for whom special registration is
provided.
Again 1t says "The registration book
in possession of the County Clerk
shall be sent to the polls and be used
by the election officers to determine
the right of every person TO vote in
the primary election"

THE BURIAL OF AmERICA'S
 FIRST WAR HEROES

American artillerymen sent 8 salvo of shells whistling over to Rocheand recently as 2. farewell voley marking burial of Americas first dead from the firing line.
 It was fitting, in the opinion of those whose eyes gnistened with tears thru out the simple but dramatic funeral services that the volley which marks the last farewell should have been fired, not by Q squad and with blanl' cartridges, but by American gunners shooting the great French seventy lives and speeding each shell with a prayer that it would find its mark among the enemy.
 The cofi1ns of Americas first dead in action were dIaDed in the folds of the American flag for which they died. Comrades bore them to the center of n hollow square, formed by American soldiers and veteran French troops.
 From the massed ranks there walk -d French general. He walked to the three cotflns. Then stiffened to the salute, doffed his cap, bowed, hls face lined as tho the mute remains before him were of his own children.

tFrom the ofneial Bulletin>

(From the Ofacial Bulletjn) The Committee on Public Informa- ton makes public herewith three let terse taken from ono of its forthcom- ing pamphlets, German WAr Prac- tices.'
 These letters were written to Am bassador Gerard, as the reDTccc;::a- tive of Q Christion State" by soldiers of the German Army in the hope that he would be able to put an end to butcheries which the writers declared they were forced to witness and take part in.
 Here is the protest of a German sol dier, an witness of the slaughter of Russien soldiers in the M2surfan lakes and sw3mps:
 Tt was frishtfnl. heart.rendang, as these masses of human beings were driven to destruction Above the ter lible thunder of the common could be heard the healt-rendiag cries of the Russians, o Prusslans o Prussians!' but there was no mercy. Our caD- tain had ordered: The whole lot must die ;so rapid fire As have heard. five men and one officer on our side went mad from those heart-rendtng craea. But most of my comrades and ha A{H snlyn nc thx ,nS1 helpless Russians Ehrtelied for mercy while they were being suffocated in the swamps and shot down. The or Ger was: Close up and at It harder" For days afterwards those heart.rend- ing yells followed me. and I dare not think of them or shall go mad. There is no God: there is no morality and no ethics any more. There nre no human beinSs any more. but only beasts. Down with rnilitarlsm
 This was tho experience of PTus- sian soldier. At present wounded: Berlin. October g, 1914.

 TIafe is the testimony of another German soldier on the east front

 My conscience forces me as q Christian German soldier to i,:form you of these lines.

Rice in the United States

During the last two years the pro duction of rice in this country has been at it's maximum, bstween 36.OO0- GOO and 40,000,000 bushels or, roughly, one and one-tifth billion pounds. So far as climate and soil are concerned, the rice acreage in the United Statesl might be increased many fold. accord ing to the United States department of agriculture, since in the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Ge0r- gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Cali fornia, us well as in small areas in Missouri, millions of acres are adopt ed to the cultivation of this crop. while less than one million acres l0- cated within q comparatively few states are now occupied by rice. One of the quickest ways of increasing the crop the federal specialists say, is to expand the acreage in the areas where rice is already profitably grown.

Aid Farmers.

When a business concern wants to borrow money it makes business statement showing the inyentory--or money invested at the beginning and end of the year-the money taken In during the year, the expenses and the profits. With this statement banker knows whether or not 1t Is safe to loan money to this company--in other words, whether the company has good chance of securing profitable re- turns. from further investment in their business A company with good business, as shown by such statement, usually has good credit ana can borrow money cheaply.
 There are many farmers in this country who keep records of what they have on hand at the beginning and end of the year and of what they take in and what they spend. These men can borrow money more easily and cheaply than most farmers be- cause they have the figures to show the banker.
 But before farmer borrows any money he should have very clearly in mind what he wants to use 1t for, and he very sure that In the end it will pay him to borrow.

COUNTY AGENT
 BECOMES LEADER
Has Come to Act as Clearing House of Co-0perati0n Be-
 tween City and Country.
CAN DIRECT WHERE NEEDED
None of His Time Can Be Devoted to Work That Does Not Concern Agricultural Developments
 Likely to Be Busy Man.

The growth and the strengthening of the county agent system has resulted in almost all cases in the county agents coming to be recognized as the agri- cultural leaders in their counties, ac- cordlng to reports to the United States department of agriculture.
 Help for City and Country.
 The county agent has come to act as the clearing house of cooperation. He is available to both the city man and the country man and can trans init from one to the other requests for help and offers of help. He can di- rect to places where 1t Is needed, farm labor offered he can assist farmers in their problem of cooperative market ing he can inform chambers of com merce, county councils of defense, merchants associations and other ur- ban bodies, of the problems before the farmers in his county; in general he is in position to act as the medium through which the town will meet the needs of the country and the country will meet the needs of the town.
 Must Concentrate Efforts.
 Every county agent is required to know and observe that his services be- long to all the people in his county, but 1t is evident that none of his time can be given to work that does not concern agricultural development. He fs placed in the county to stimulate cn frbap,pAt.n hn fine himself to work on definite prob lens affecting farmers. It Is neces- sary for him to utllizeNhe aid of com munity organizations to the fullest extent and 1t Is within his duties to impress upon the town people how vital their interest and help Is to the farmers.
 In the war emergency the county agents are not only representing the agricultural colleges and the depart ment of agriculture, but are assisting the food administration, the treasury department, the war department, the navy department, the department of justice and the department of labor.
 Help in Direct War Work.
 They have aided, in addition to their regular activities, in such work as food surveys. seed surveys, seed distribution, obtaining credit for farm CTS, selling Liberty bonds, eradication of livestock diseases, surveys of live stock diseases. surveys of insect pests and campaigns for their destruction, marketing farm products, preferential or priority shipments by railroads of farm products and all farm supplies, and the dissemination of information given out by the war department, the council of national defense and the committee on public information re- garding the war and other matters af- fecting the national policy under war conditions.
 Thus it can he seen that the county agent is likely to be n rather busy man.
