In another column hereof is an article de-
scribing the new method of cotton picking,
which is attracting considerable attention.
Just now cotton is king, the high prices OF
wheat to the contrary Notwithstanding. The
demand for cotton the world over is SO keen
that it is predicted that sooner or later the
government will take hand in either the
producing Of cotton or it's sale or perhaps
both, in either case the colOred man of the
South will be appealed to to assist in it's
increased output and instead of driving
him from the cotton fields as the southern
white man has done from time to time, he
will be substantially encouraged to stay on
the farms and assist the government in it's
endeavor to supply the world and his fam
lily with the necessary cotton supply-day
is breaking.
It is estimated that Uncle Sam had
100000 casualties in the late European un-
pleasantness, that is killed, wounded and
missing, which is not so worse for two mil
lion soldiers. Our boys did some hard fight
ing over there and it is rather remarkable
that so few of them were killed in compari-
son to the number in the trenches

Kaiser Bill profited from the rather sad
experience of Gar Nick and got out of
Germany while getting was good. He took
refuge in neutral country and unless all
precedent is broken the Allies will not be
able to extradict him, he being a war fugi-
tive. Bill was nervy old chap when
things were coming his way, but made his
get away when things started the other
way Remember, cold chap" he that
fights and runs away will live to fight an

There is hardly any doubt but that null
tiplied thousands, if not millions of cOored
people, will leave the United States for eth
er European or South American countries
within the next five years, not because they
will be able to make so much more money
in those countries than they can in this,
but because they will not be compelled to
bump up against color discrimination in
those countries as they do in this from
Maine to Mexico and from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Every country in Europe is
ready and willing to give the colored man
an even break and in South America his
color is seldom referred to. It's preposter-
GUS to think the coored folk now living in
the United States and especially in the
South will continue to put up with the bar
barity that is from time to time perpetrated
upon them when they can go to other
countries and make just as much money and
be treated as other men are. In another
column hereof an interesting article is re-
produced touching on this self same sub
ject.

When the chief Of the police intimates
that the members of the police force are
rotten bunch and may be just as criminal
as the criminals they pretend to be hunting
there must be more truth than poetry in the
allegation. But a rotten police force is
nothing new for Seattle because they have
always gotten the money while getting was
good.

Canada has planted nearly two million
more acres of wheat than she did in 1917

ALL POSTS SET FOR NEW
FENCE FIVE MILES LONG


Five and half miles of fence posts
have been set by County Engineer
Burleson and his men in the last few
days in the upper part of the county.
The county commissioners ordered the
new fence constructed as provided by
the no-cattle law to make it operative
and Mr.. Burleson set promptly to
work. 1t was necessary to. cut a way
through two and a half miles of cy-
press swamp. Mr.. Burleson said that
this part of the work was completed
Just before the recent heavy rains set
in. Previous to the rains the swamp
was dry, a condition which occurs
rarely. There is now foot of water
standing in the swamp.
Besides setting the posts broad
right of way was cleared out so as to
protect the posts against fire.. The
wire will be secured shortly and the
fence completed before the end of Sep
tember. The law provides that the
fence shall be erected by October %.
The posts for the fence were cut along
the right of way-St. Petersburg

SUCCESS OF NIGHT BOMBING
DEPENDS MUCH ON WEATHER

A British Aerodrome Somewhere in
France, July 31.-(Correspondence Of
The Associated Press.)-An hour be
fore dusk, weather reports from all
parts Of France, as well as from Lon
don and the English coast begin pour
ing into the office Of the might bomb
ing squadron" When machines are
going on a long fight to bomb Ger
man towns, it is very desirable to
know what weather may be expected
BY means of little balloon whose
speed and direction, as it scars up
ward, is registered by special in
strument, the direction and force Of
the wind at different levels is dis
covered. This information tells tht

what allowance he must make for de-
! Election and wind-drift.
The pilots and observers are called
into the mapping Office and the order
for the night read aloud by the COM
manding officer. Maps are collected,
and photographs of the objective are
examined, so that the airmen may ia
miliarize themselves with the sur
roundings as they appear from the
air.
Then they hurry away to their
rooms and get ready for t he long
flight through the cold night skies.
Heavy sweaters are donned and soft
leather thigh boots lined with white
fleece are pulled on over thick wooden
stockings. Muffiers are wrappco
round necks and mouths. The airmen
climb into overall suits of waterproof
material lined with long black fur.
These are securely strapped at ankles
and wrists. Fur-lined leather helmets
and goggles are put on, and yellow
whale oil is smeared over the face to
prevent frost bite. Then, gathering up
their thick fur gloves, their torches
and maps, their sandwiches and vac
uum TASKS, their notebooks and pen
ellis, the airmen straddle awkwardly
out to the aerodrome where the great
machines stand silently in dim line,
ready to burst into life at the order
to start.
The first of the big machines slowly
takes across the aerodrome, turns to
face the wind, halts a little and then,
gathering momentum every second, it
rushes across and climbs up into the
night till it can no longer be seen, and
its two wing-tip lights, like fiery eyes,
alone show where it moves in the
darkness. For several minutes its
ipulsing drone can be heard as it
climbs in great circles over the. aero
drone. Every eye is turned upward
watching the little lights. Suddenly
ball of red appears in the sky, drops
slowly, and dies out. 1t is signal
describing the weather conditions up
aloft, and conveying an order.to those
on the ground.
One by one the huge machines glide
out into the middle of the field, thun-
der across the grass, and rise, soar
ing to the stars. For a time, their
murmur fills the skies, but soon a
heavy silence descends on the aero
drome, while in the east beyond the
! German lines, can be seen the pale
fingers of the cropping searchlights.

Los Angeles, Cal.-"Lonesome jack
Altman, king of all rattlesnake catch
ers, offers to gather 10000 side winders
or hornet rattlesnakes if the govern
ment viii let him, dump them into
trenches vacated to the Germans by
the Americans and let the snakes do
the rest. The side winder is death
dealer extraordinary, strikes three
times as fast as any other rattler, and,
unlike Others, does not act on the heart
but paralyzes the nerves within 20
minutes.
Altman would have no trouble In
gathering them in Arizona and the I'M
perial valley, he says. The Germans
Il they possessed such deadly weap-
on would not hesitate to use it, Altman
believes.
"The beauty of my idea is that the
rattler can live five or six months in
captivity without either food or water
and they will be just as, effective dur
ing that time," says Altman. 81 have
an antidote for rattlesnake bite that
could be supplied to anyone that ham
dies them, but the Germans would
not know what stung them.
MY idea would be to catch them
and then soak their tails in warm wa
ter. Then the shell that rattles and
gives warning could be removed with
out injury to the snake. Their fangs
are so sharp that unless the warning is
given with the rattles person would
hardly know what bit him. Side wind
ers range in size from four to twelve
feet.

The completion of the new $8,000,-

as head of the many great Anheuser-

After years of scientific experiments
and original research, Bevo was Great
ed for two purposes: as an aid to the
promotion of Mr.. Busch's plans for
a real, sane temperance program in
America, based upon education and in
telligent moral development; and to
supply the public with the highest
quality of non-alcoholic beverage that
science and manufacturing skill could
produce. Bevo has been a positive aid
to the Government in carrying out its
military temperance program, for it
has become the favorite beverage of
the arm and navy, and is used extern
sively on battleships and in canton
ments with the approval of the heads
of the navy and war departments.
